Trouble Accessing my Wireless Network

I have the older BEFW 11s4; it is hooked up to our Cable modem. We can see and connect to the router, but cannot get access to teh internet. Any suggestions or guidance to fix such an issue would be apprecaited.
Thank you
John Edmonton

Most Cable Internet Service Providers (ISP) use Media Access Control (MAC) Address authentication to establish Internet connection for end-users. MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to the network adapter/s of the computer. To set up your Linksys router to work with a cable ISP, you have to enable the MAC Address Clone feature on the router’s web-based setup page.
Well connecting the cable modem to the router’s WAN or Internet port. Connect a computer to any of the numbered ports (1, 2, 3 or 4). While making the following connection you will be loosing the internet connectivity. Here is the link which will help you to get the internet back again: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=0ff4c94586a345d082828ec2161aaecf_3686.xml&pid=80&r...

  • How can i access my wireless network?

    how can i access my wireless network at home?

    Does your iPad see your WiFi network - Settings>WiFi>Tap your network name, enter your password and tap join.
    If the iPad isn't seeing the network, try rebooting the router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

  • Out of the blue, my ITouch is unable to access my wireless network ONLY when my PC has been turned on (PC is connected via Ethernet cable, and has no wireless capability as far as I know).  What gives?  It works fine when the PC is off.

    Out of the blue, my ITouch is unable to access my wireless network ONLY when my PC is on (the PC is connected via Ethernet cable, and has no wireless capabilities that I know of).  What gives?  When the PC is turned off, everything is totally fine.  I\m stumped. 

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network       
    I suspect a problem with your router. Try changing the security. First use no security as a test.
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Need to configure Airport connection to access corporate wireless network

    Need to configure Airport connection to access corporate wireless network.
    Have imported my certificate from Windows XP machine into keychain and made Leopard always trust in order to authenticate automatically into my corporate wireless network. Also attempted to establish a new 802.1x connection via network preferences without any success. It keeps asking me for username and password even though we used self-generated certificates to log into corporate wireless network. Does anybody have any instructions on how to successfully configure certificates in Leopard?

    Welcome to the discussion area, jackregan!
    You'll need to "hard reset" the Time Capsule and then reconfigure it again. To do this, you will hold in the reset button until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly, keep holding another second or two and then release.
    The "hard reset" will not affect the data on your Time Capsule
    Now you can open AirPort Utility and configure the Time Capsule using wireless (be sure to log on to the default network which will have a name like Apple Network xxxxxx), or you can connect an ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule to have AirPort Utility communicate with it that way.
    When you open AirPort Utility, click Continue to follow the guided setup to re-configure your Time Capsule. You would choose the option to "Create a wireless network" when you are given the configuration options.

  • Trouble extending a wireless network

    Hello,
    I am having trouble extending my wireless network. I have a time capsule running 802.11N and this is plugged into a Motorola Cable (SBV5121) modem. Until now I have not had any trouble with this network running either a PC or MacBook.
    I recently purchased an airport express - dual band, and have configured both it and the timecapsule to allow network extension (express is configured to extend a network).
    After some time - perhaps 2-3 hours or even longer, I lose my internet connection (error I get is I cannot obtain an IP address - or no valid IP address.) I think this may be related to DHCP, so I tried config with static IP for both time capsule and airport express internal network. When I lose internet connection, I can still use the express to play music through - which to me indicates problems re the outside network.
    When I unplug (turn off) the express from power - I am able to get back on the net. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

  • Trouble connecting to wireless network at work

    I am having trouble connecting to a wireless network at work. Previously I have been able to connect to it, but today it says I'm connected but won't load any web pages.
    In System Preferences under Network Status it says: "AirPort is connected to the network lynksys. AirPort has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet."
    Any ideas? Thanks!
    Becky

    beckymagic, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Many times this message is received when MAC address filtering has been enabled on the wireless base station. [This is also referred to as an "access list".] I suggest that you talk with the system admin and see if you need to add the MAC address of the AirPort card of your Mac to this list.

  • Having trouble connecting to wireless network

    Hello. I am having some difficulties connecting to my Linksys router from my Powerbook G4. Here is my issue... sometimes airport can find the wireless connection (called Linksys) and sometimes it can't. I don't understand why it does sometimes, but other times it does not. I have a brand new iMac that is always able to find the network through the airport. I've never had problems with connecting the iMac to the wireless network, it's the Powerbook that will sometimes not find the wireless network in the drop down menu through airport. I don't understand how one computer can and one computer cannot. I was thinking maybe it's because the airport card is a bit older in the Powerbook and doesn't pick up as many networks, but like I said, some of the time it works just fine and it stays working until I shut down the laptop. Any ideas? I appreciate the help.

    Try the following on your Powerbook:
    1. Delete Preferred Network(s)
    - System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
    - In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
    - Delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list
    2. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    - Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    - Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    - Restart, or log out then back in.
    3. Add Preferred Network(s)
    - System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
    - In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
    - Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    - Restart or log out then back in.

  • 2nd generation time capsule: how to limit access to wireless network at night?

    I am using a 2nd generation time capsule and need to limit access to my wireless network at night, is there a setting to do this?  I don't want to physically have to shut down my time capsule/router every night but I need a way to turn off the wireless network at night or during specific hours.  Also open to suggestions on how to accomplish this if Time Capsule does not allow it.    This question is for a 2nd generation 500GB, Model A1302 Time Capsule.  Thank you.

    Unless you physically attach an electronic timer to the Time Capsule, there is no way to tell the Time Capsule when to turn on and off.
    Using the Timed Access settings in AirPort Utility, it is possible to define the hours each day that wireless devices will be allowed to  connect to the network.
    For example, you might set the Time Capsule to not allow wireless access between Midnight and 8 AM each day. Devices would be able to connect at other times.
    But, Timed Access will not physically power the Time Capsule "on" and "off".

  • Trouble Connecting To Wireless Network

    Greetings,
    New iTouch with the new 3.0 software installed.
    iMac with Leopard 10.5.8
    Using a Linksys Wireless Router WRT54G, settings:
    - Home wireless network does not broadcast SSID
    - WEP with 10-key password
    - MAC filter enabled
    Issue 1:
    I entered my iTouch MAC address into the router's MAC filter list
    Using the wireless on iTouch entered the SSID and Password
    Result: Does not connect. What am I missing?
    Issue 2:
    Do I have to enter the network password every time or can I save the password in my ITouch?
    Thanks for your help,
    Matt

    Thanks for the help,
    So, my kids don't use the Internet function with their DS, and the Wii takes WPA . . .
    I changed my wireless security settings to WPA2 with AES algorithms.
    Still didn't work . . .
    I then had to disable the MAC address filtering and . . . Presto! Connection Heaven.
    Don't like having to had disabled my MAC address filtering though. I double checked the MAC in the list for the iTouch and it was fine.
    Any known issues with the iTouch and MAC address filtering in wireless routers?
    Thanks everyone,

  • Trouble with Apple Wireless networks

    I have aan extended wireless network in our house, across four apple wireless devices: Time Capsule (which is the lead device), an airport extreme (dual-band), an airport extreme (dual band II) and an Airport Express 802.11n.
    The dual-band II is a new device and since I have incorporated it i have had issues with the wireless network that only seem to be solved if we turn the Express off.  The Express is in a Kitchen, which is beneath a study where the Extreme dual band II is.
    Does anyone have any idea why there might be a problem (seems like some kind of wave interference) and how i solve it.  I put the express in the kitchen so I could connect it to a Sonos device, which then allows me to use airplay with the Sonos.
    Regards
    Edward

    Since all of your AirPorts are 802.11n models, you can only have one base station that will be extended. You can have more than one to extend it. So, in this case, the two 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Stations (AEBSn) & the AXn would be attempting to extend the wireless range of the Time Capsule (TC).
    Think of it as the TC is at the hub of a wheel and each of the extending base station would be on individual spokes of that wheel. The issue here would be the farther away an extending base station is, the less bandwidth that will be available at that part of the extended network ... and possibly why you are getting the results that you are.
    By default, the AXn (or any AirPort will not be set to extend a network. You would have to set this as an option within the AirPort Utility. If you didn't already do this for the AXn, then it would be in its default configuration of a wireless router that would be broadcasting its own wireless network ... and NOT extending the TC's network.

  • Trouble setting up wireless network on PC

    I'm trying to set up PC as hub of new network at home with iBook G4 as only other computer.
    Using Airport Express assistant I get the following error message: " The Airport Express Assistant found that Windows is not allowed to manage wireless networks on this computer. This can be as a result of haveing a third party utility that manages wireless networks.
    For best results please allow Windows to manage wireless networks."
    I'm not sure what third party utility it is referring to - any suggestions?

    Use the Airport Admin Utility to configure your Airport Express rather than use the Assistant.

  • Trouble extending my wireless network via (4) Airport Express'

    I am having difficulty extending my wireless network - I have a Airport Extreme as the base station - I was hoping to daisy chain the express devices throughout the home but I'm losing signal strength as I get further away from the base... is it possible to link each device so that i can have one network running with multiple Airport Express' wirelessly?  Any help you can provide would be appreciated...
    Thanks
    Steve

    If you have the newer AirPort Extreme 802.11n and newer AirPort Express 802.11n devices, it is not possible to "daisy chain" the AirPort Express devices. That's because each AirPort Express communicates directly to the "main" AirPort Extreme....not to another AirPort Express.
    The "extend" setup is like the hub and spokes of a wheel. Your AirPort Exrreme is the "hub" and each AirPort Express resides at the end of a "spoke".
    The "best" way to extend any wireless network is to run Ethernet cabling to the location of each AirPort Express. If it is not possible to run the Ethernet cable, your next option would be Ethernet power line adapters to send an Ethernet signal over the AC power lines in your home.

  • Trouble setting up wireless network

    Equipment using:
    Linksys Wirleess G Router (WRT54GS) w/ Super Cantenna attached.
    Linksys Wireless G Range Expander (WRE54G)
    Scenario:
    Trying to expand my wireless network to reach house 3 doors down; approx 150 ft. (House C)
    I own house A, B, C (x are other houses)
    B x x x x
    - Street -
    A x x C x
    At house C, the signal I pickup with my laptop with built-in wireless NIC is 1.0 Mb/s (very weak)
    I tried configuring the Linksys Wireless G extender and it doesnt pick up any signal when placed in house C.  For house A and B it works fine.
    I'm going to try tweaking everything some more tonight (adjusting Cantenna, try an external wireless NIC instead of built-in NIC on laptop, etc.) but any other thoughts/suggestions/solutions would be greatly appreciated.  Trying to solve this problem and not spend $$ out the wazoo.
    Thanks in advance
    Eddie

    i don't think Range Expander will work with the router from 150 ft. of distance...it is too far...however you may try tweaking up wireless settings on the router and as well on the expander for e.g. logon to router's setup page and try changing advanced wireless settings, try reducing beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304...make sure that you have latest firmware installed on router and expander...

  • Trouble connecting to Wireless Network with T40

    Hi,
    My girlfriend and I are on vacation and renting an apartment with wireless access and though she is able to connect with her much newer laptop I am having trouble. My laptop is an IBM T40 (2373), running Win2000 with the following wireless card
    Cisco Systems PCI Wireless LAN Adapter #2
    Driver Provider Cisco
    Driver Date 4-2-2002
    Driver Version 3.4.9.0
    We were given what they called a username (lets say ourusername) and a password (lets say ourpassword)
    After she has connected if I look at her properties it shows on the connectin tab ourusername for both the name and ssid and on the security tab is shows securty type - no authentication, encryption type WEP and dots for the network security key which presumably correspond to the password which we were given and she was prompted for when she connected.
    The problem is that if I look at the properties for my wireless connection there is no place to enter the password and no mention of WEP. Is the problem that my driver is too old (forgive the lack of a question mark, and some of the other strange punctuation - on top of everything else her keyboard is laid out for spanish and I cant find a many of the punctuation marks). I should mention that I know that my hardware works as I use this card on public access points all of the time. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks in advance for any replies.

    Well try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly
    the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the
    router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power
    cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable
    to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug
    in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!!
    Open the setup page of router using 192.168.1.1 then put in the password as admin...
    all you need to do is do the wireless settings such as Radio Band Frequency to Standard 20 MHZ frequency,channel to 11.
    Also,the advanced wireless settings to Beacon Interval=50,Frag
    thres=2306 & Rts thres=2307 & then uncheck a Block Anonymous Internet
    Requests & it will definately work!!!

  • Router To Access Different Wireless Network For Internet

    Okay, so I have a Free Community WiFi that I can access from the edges of my house, but not from anywhere inside the house. My personal Internet connection is out due to the fact our bill trippled for some reason we can't figure out 2 months ago without telling us. We've had an auto payment sent every month for just over what it should be. So until I get this sorted out with the ISP I have to use the community WiFi. I would like to be able to use the internet from somewhere other than the wall in my kitchen.
    So, I have a number of Routers, 2 Actiontec Q1000s, but only 1 power suply, a D-Link WBR-2310, D-Link DIR-601 & a few other ods & Ends including a 12DB Amped Wireless & An 8DB Hawking Tech antennas.
    What I want to do is to use 1 router to connect to the CommunityShared Network, A wired connection to another router (Preferably the Q1000 as it's already setup for my Home Network) & that router to serve my Home Network, preferably over the WAN port if possible, but I can run VPNs on each device for a week if I have to.
    Right now I have one computer setup in the kitchen with a High Gain Antenna conected to a Atheros SUB-362 EXT USB WiFi card, (This computer gets 7Mbps Down & 9Mbps Up) then the built-in WiFi card connected to my Home network with a Static IP, The Q1000 set to use that IP as the Gateway. I can get about 200Kbps max on devices connected to the Home Network. But the biggest problem is that my old Atheros card disconnects randomly when accessed from one of the devices on the home network. I'm fine with a ThirdParty Firmware Update on the D-Links if necessary.
    When I look online I only find posts about how to extend a network using a second router or how to use a specific router to repeat or bridge.
    Any help would be greatly appriciated

    Using a and router as a wireless bridge or even a repeater is not possible unless that router has a firmware that has the capability of such function.
