Trouble connecting to 192.168.1.1 & setting up wireless router

I am hoping someone can please help me!! I have a PowerMac G4 and a new 12" PowerBook G4. I received a Linksys router as a gift and I am having trouble setting it up...I have tried connecting to the ip address, http://192.168.1.1 with both Internet Explorer and Safari to no avail. I enter in the address and it tells me the connection has failed. I have tried numerous individuals including Linksys support and have had no luck! Can anyone help me or tell me what I may be doing wrong?
PowerMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.1)
PowerMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.1)
PowerMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.1)

Lets start with some basic stuff.
First Shut your computer clear OFF.
Next pull the power adapter from your Internet
Service Providers Modem.
Next do the same thing with your New Router, Pull the
Plug on everything.
Remove any other USB items you might have connected
Printer scanner, camera.
Now you need to wait for 5 minutes.
NOW IN ORDER.
Plug the Ethernet cable from your ISP's Modem to your
Uplink port on your New Router.
Next
Plug the power adapter back in to your ISP'S Modem,
and wait until it re-aqiures the signal, depending on
the brand and who your service is with normally 3
lights.
Next after you are good on the modem you can plug in
your new Router, again wait for it to get it's signal
and lights.This will normally take a minute or so.
Now you can restart your computer.
After it boots up click on the Safari icon, and see
if it connects you.
If not go to the menu bar in your browser and type in
192.168.1.1
This should open the Linksys Utility box that will
enable you to confiqure your network.
Remember you will have to have all of the proper
setting in both your Browser and your Mail program
for everything to work properly.
Click on the Icon of Safari, and choose Preferences
this will allow you to setup
The same with Mail.
Good Luck Don
Hi, Don. Is the ethernet cable from the modem supposed to plug into the router's WAN port or the Uplink port?

Can't connect to 192.168.1.1

Hi all! I'm having trouble getting my wireless router setup. I have a WRT54GS Ver.2 router. I seem to have misplaced the CD and I tried using the quick install but it didn't work. When I look at the network settings, my IP address is not 192.168.x.x but 99.x.x.x. I'm running XP with SP1. Any advice? Please help! Thanks a bunch! VK

check the following steps :
1)connect the computer to the router's port#1
2)connect the modem to the router's internet port
3)there shouldn't be any cables connected between the modem and the computer directly
4)reset the router for 30 seconds and do a power cycle
5)check the ip add again and if you get 192.168.1.x , try accessing the router using http://192.168.1.1

Can't connect to 192.168.1.1 with WRT610N

Hi, i've been trying to add my sister's new laptop to the authorized MAC adress on the router, but i just can't get on the 192.168.1.1 administration page. When i type the adress in, the page loads for minutes, hours and even days with no result. I tired on the four computers connected to the routers but the page just loads forever and never shows.

Hi, I think I finally found the problems with not getting access to 192.168.1.1, or at least it works on my computer for now. Haven't tried it more than today, but I think this is the problem.
Turn of Linksys advisor program. Then try 192.168.1.1 It worked on my computer. The Linksys advisor loads on startup, and I think I will have the same problem again, if it starts up, so I will try to disable it in startup. I've also configured the network settings on the connection to internet protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) to use the following IP address of my computer (192.168.1.X), subnett 255.255.255.0 and default gateway to 192.168.1.1. Without those setting, ie obtain IP address automatically, I couldn't reach 192.168.1.1 You can manually start the Linksys advisor program afterwards, and I had no problems connecting to 192.168.1.1
I have tried every other solution mentioned on this forum, but nothing has worked for me. The most commoned answer is, reset your router or turn off the router, then it will work again. It does, but only for a day, or sometimes minutes, then its back to the same problem, with not being able to connect to 192.168.1.1 I have also downgraded the firmware and are using open DNS, but that didn't help. It seems to me that the problem is with the Linksys advisor program, kind of strange that I have read only one post mentioning that! But of course, I'm not 100% sure, but again, its working on my computer, and I can finally connect to the administration pages again!

Can't connect to 192.168.1.1 with my macbook. Tried reading all the posts no luck.

I've read through tons of posts and still no solution. I have powered everything on and off. I've tried firefox, safari, and netscape. I still cannot connect to 192.168.1.1 I have a befw11s4 v2. Along with not being able to connect to the setup page, my internet signal strength goes up and down constantly even though I am right next to the router.

If something does not work there is usually an error message which explains the problem. Please post the exact error message you get.
When wired to the router, open a terminal window and enter "ifconfig en0". Please post the output of that command.
Next enter "ping 192.168.1.1" and post what happens. Again, if there is an error message post the exact error message.

Cannot connect to 192.168.1.1

I did a firmware upgrade on the BEFW11S4 yesterday and now I cannot access the web utility. I've tried ipconfig /release and /renew, but to no avail. I've also tried setting a static IP but that did not work as well. I did the firmware upgrade via wireless, and it gave me a success message after it was finished, but the router somehow lagged afterwards, so I did a reset on the utility and it connected. My internet connection is working fine, but I can't ping 192.168.1.1. My ipconfig returns:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : nyc.rr.com
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 24.193.219.59
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.252.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 24.193.216.1
Any ideas? The default gateway should be 192.168.1.1 I've heard, but I have no idea how to set it without being able to communicate with the router.
I also did an IP scan on 192.168.0.* and 192.168.1.* and both returned all IP addresses in that range as dead.
Thanks.

Hey based on your IP check, it seems you are getting an IP address from your modem or from another device. Those IP's that you listed are actually valid IP's but they are not IP's that a private device like a router would give out.

Connecting to 192.168.1.1 for checking router settings online brings non-English setup?

Bought a new WRT54G vers 6 router to replace a version 3 that died on us recently, and we have had many issues with SBC Global DSL connectivity, but when I go to the 192.168.1.1 site, it isn't in English, but in Italian or Spanish..
I can guess on some issues, but I never had a choice to pick what language this router page setup area would be in. Any ideas?
I could use some help here.

You need to download the correct firmware and upgrade or use tftp.exe.

For connection to 192.168.1.1

Recently, I can not connect to the ip of 192.168.1.1. I can go into the internet. All my three computers can connect to the router via cable but only one computer can connect to it by wireless adapter. Also I can not succeed when to PING 192.168.1.1 . What is the problem? Is my router wrong with something?

Open a command prompt window and enter "ipconfig /all". Post the full output.

Can't connect to 192.168.1.1 EA6500 or the Internet

Hi
Yesterday my router froze and wouldn't do anything, so I rebooted the router. When it got up and running again, I couldn't connect to the Internet. I got the error 502 - bad gateway.
I can't connect to it at 192.168.1.1 or linksyssmartwifi.com. I can ping 192.168.1.1, but not 8.8.8.8.
Ipconfig /all
DHCP yes
Ip 192.168.1.117
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Default gateway 192.168.1.1
DHCP server 192.168.1.1
I've tried flushdns, release and renew and it seems that the DHCP server from the router is working.
In windows it seems that there are an Internet connection.
I don't understand this, I can't visit any websites, but Spotify works.
I'm afraid it's broken and I have to buy a new router. I've triede to reset the router.
I hope that some of you can might help me.

Try disconnecting the router from the internet (WAN port) and plugging a PC directly into one of the LAN ports. After resetting, ignore the smartwifi login, click the two checkboxes, and login manually/directly with the "admin" password and reconfigure.
If you don't want to do all that just yet, try accessing the router from the public IP address assigned by your ISP. That might work

Can't access three routers through 192.168.1.1, Not address of router. HELP?

Long story here, and I am baffled...
My parents were initially connected to a broadband connection through a wired BEFSX41 router. After moving the computers to another room had major connectivity issues. Tried to access router through 192.168.1.1 and could not. Ran ipconfig and found address to be 76.180.104.1. Tried reset, power cycles, release and renew, could not get it to go back to 192.168.1.1. Brought a WRT54G I had over, had normal results for a brief period(10 seconds tops) then again, same ip address and connectivity issues. After this I brought both routers home, connected them to my laptop, but not my network, inspected the configurations and updated firmware, with no issues. So to narrow down issues I brought the WRT54G to my sisters house. She runs a WRT160N. Before changing anything I accessed 160N through webpage, checked settings and verified ip through ipconfig to be 192.168.1.1. All ok. Replaced her 160N with 54G and had wrong ip address again, also 76.180.104.1, so I decided router was somehow damaged/corrupted. This is where this story turns really crappy for me. When I reconnected the 160N, the ip address was 192.168.1.1 for 15 seconds, then in ipconfig two ip addresses were shown suddenly. They were 76.180.96.1 and 192.168.1.1. Ran ipconfig again and got only 76.180.96.1, and now I can no longer access router.
My sister talked to a knowledgeable guy she knows before I hooked it to her computer and he surmised a Google redirect virus which I did sign on to. But now it seems the 54G router has transferred this virus/issue to my sisters computer, which then uploaded it to her 160N. Judging by the time delay when initially connecting 54G, I think maybe this virus is somehow corrupting routers? Does this sound possible to anyone? And if so, what are my options to save the routers, and not have to re-image computer drives? Anyone with any knowledge, please help, cause the idea of having to re-image three computers is killing me. Also I did not leave any of the routers with the original password. Thank you in advance for your help.

Good. The symptoms you saw (computer gets public IP address) is most commonly because you connect one of the LAN ports of the router to your modem. That way the computer can talk directly to the modem and gets a public IP address.
Sometimes this can happen if the router crashes and won't boot up (often power light is blinking). In that case, the switch in the router won't separate the internet port from the LAN port again giving computers direct access to the modem.

I'm having trouble connecting my Intel iMac with the internet using wifi router

I'm having trouble configuring my iMac to accept a connection with my Telstra Elite mobile broadband Wifi router.
The iMac's Wifi is turned on and the elite router is selected in the Wifi list with a tick.
The router is turned on, and connected to the internet.
I'm able to surf the net and collect emails using my MacBook Pro ( what I'm using now) and my iPad with no hassles by connecting them to the Telstra Elite Wifi router. But I'm unable as yet to get a connection using the iMac.
The Telstra router accepts up to 5 simultaneous connections.
At present the display on the router says that three devices are connected. They being the iPad, the MacBook Pro and the iMac.
Can anyone help me out?

Need Help setting up wireless router

Hi, ive spent the week on the phone trying to reach all the various technical support people to help me, and getting no where, i wait forever and then get dropped.
I just got time warner cable in NYC (queens) and the modem and internet surfing works fine if I use a USB cable from the modem to my computer, the problem is the ethernet doesnt work, and I dont have drivers for ethernet, but im more interested in setting up wireless from the modem, to the wireless router to my computer with the wireless card.
I accidently installed some kind of microsoft tcp/ip thingy when surfing around my computer trying to fix this and now I cant use the wireless router and card.
I dont want to spend hours on the phone in a tech support message maze, so please help me thru PM.
Mark

(Edited for guideline compliance. Thanks!)

Hi Mark, first off let me know are you able to go online directly with the modem, if computer is connected directly to the ethernet port of modem? if not, i think ethernet port of the modem is not working or may be it's defective or drivers for ethernet adapter is not installed , as you've mentioned you can able to go online with the USB cable, once computer is connnected directly to the USB port of modem...unless and untill ethernet port on the modem is not working you won't be able to configure the wireless router... router doesn't have USB port on it... anyways connect modem to the ethernet port of the router >> computer (wireless), reset the router back to factory default settings by pressing reset button on the back panel of the router... release the reset button after 30 seconds, power cycle the network by unplugging power cable of the modem and router... wait for couple of minutes and power up the modem first and wait for few seconds once modem is rebooted, after that power up the router, check the light status power, WLAN and internet light on the router should be on... try connecting to "linksys" wireless n/w from wireless pc...check whether it works or not and let me know...

I need Help Setting Up Wireless Router WRT54G on NTL

Hi, I've managed to setup a few home wireless networks in my time but I'm having problems with this. My gf's ISP is NTL and it is connected via a cable modem (rather than the set top). I registered my laptop using the installation software and the internet connection is working fine. I attempted to setup the router and I could connect to it, however I could not connect to the internet through the router. Previously with other routers I found an option where you could input the user/pass so that the router was automatically connected to the service, but I could not find this option. Does anyone who has setup this wireless router with an NTL setup / or anyone at all have any idea how I go about setting it all up?
Thanks in advance

I also found this thread which helps by showing when to clone the MAC address.
Using run cmd from XP's start menu and typing ipconfig /all will show the MAC address of your machine's NIC card, if you need it.

I set up wireless router and now it won't turn back on

I had a friend set up the router so that my Comp sent out wireless signal.
It doesn't automatically turn on and I can't find how to turn it back on.
Please help i'm new to mac and these things are putting me off having one.

Hi RE,
Thanks for the answer, I have gotten it working, it was showing as being on (internet sharing) I then turned if off and on again (internet sharing) and that seemed to do it.

Connect to a USB drive linked to my wireless router (non airport express)?

Hi,
i have a USB drive (FAT32) connected directly to my wireless router and I want to connect to the drive from my powerbook. I am able to mount the drive via an ftp link, however the quality of this connection is not as good - iTunes is not able to pick up all my songs saved on the drive.
Does anyne know a better way to connect to this drive. Id like to keep it connected to the wireless router so that the drive and the information is available to everyone on my home network.
The router is a Netgear WGT634U.
Thanks

Yep tried that. but it gives an error and cant connect. (get an error 36 or a login error - but i know the username and password are correct)

AirPort Express connected to a Windows LAN already with a wireless router

My apologies if this is out there, I can't seem to find this answer....
I have a curent LAN with several Windows based PCs. There is a wireless router that is used by the Windows laptops.
My iPad works ok (not great) on this network but I am looking at putting in an AirPort in the main room in my house where the iPad is used. My hope is that this will improve performance.
two questions:
1) will this make a difference in wireless connectivity (speed/performance )?
2) can this model work- Airport in a current wireless environment.

Wireless bandwidth and speed fall off as the distance increases between the source producing the wireless network and the device receiving it. Any obstructions in the signal path will slow the wireless much more than distance alone.
You haven't told us anything about the construction type of your home or the number of obstructions like walls or ceilings in the signal path. If you have a line-of-sight relationship between the main router and your iPads, then you will likely see little difference in performance compared to having a device producing a wireless network in the same room as the iPads.
If you consider that a "typical" wall of sheetrock and 2x4 construction in a home will on average, absorb about 15-20% of the signal...and you have 3-4 walls in the signal path, or a ceiling (which is thicker than a wall) and few walls, I think you already have your answer about whether it would be wise to locate the AirPort Express in the same room or close to the area where the iPads will normally be used.
