Trouble Connecting with Secure Linksys Wireless

I decided to enable WEP on my linksys wireless router and now i cannot get my airport express to connect. I have tried entering the default gateway ip address for the router and password on the airport utility but cant connect. I dont have any options on the utility page that seem to work. I have read quite a few other posts that point to this page as teh solution to enter teh WEP key.

Use an ethernet cable to connect one of your computers to the AE to set the WEP key. WPA will not work if you have it set up as a WDS. If I am understanding correctly, you had a working network, turned on WEP and now can't make any changes to the AE?
You actually have a few other options to get the configuration utility to work. Here are all your options.
1. Temporarily connect AE to a computer using an ethernet cable.
2. Temporarily connect AE to your router if there are any free wired connections.
3. Turn off WEP on the main router and when you AE's reappear, you can then turn WEP on for them with the key that you want to use. Once they reboot, they will again not be accessible from your main router until you turn WEP back on, but when you do turn it back on, they will show up providing you get the keys all the same.
4. Hold the reset button down on AE's and re-enter your entire configuration once they have rebooted with factory default settings.
1 and 2 are by far the less fussy solution, providing you've got an ethernet cable handy, which you should.

Trouble connecting to a linksys wireless router

hey, i am having trouble connecting to the wireless network in my house. the network is set up through a wrt54g router on a pc running windows xp. i can connect to the network but the router for some reason doesnt assign my macbook an ip address so i cant access the internet. can anyone help me out? thanks!

yes the router is using WEP encryption. im not sure if there is IP or MAC filtering? i dont think so.
my problem is not connecting, because i can do that fine, the problem is that im not getting an IP address assigned to my computer by the router.

My iPad will no longer connect to my Linksys wireless router. Every other electronic device in our house connects just fine. What can I do?

I have an iPad (the earliest version) that used to connect to my Linksys wireless router with no difficulty. One night recently I could not get on the internet through my iPad. I checked the Wi-Fi information, which said it was not connected.When I go through the process of choosing a network, on which my home system is clearly listed along with a very strong signal strength, I am told that my iPad is unable to join my own network. All the other electronic devices in our house are connected and functioning fine. Can anyone walk me through the steps to correct this problem?
I need to add that I took my iPad to the Appple store, and the clerk there reset something--I don't know what--and my iPad was able to connect to their network. When I came home, though, I was not able to connect to my home network.

If everything else is connecting with no issues, I would go into the wifi setting on the iPad and redo the info there, user, password and anything else related to your wifi at your house.
It is possible whatever he reset may have reset something to default setting which will not allow it to connect. If you need too then verify the wifi setting by comparing it with another device setting that works on your home network.
Good luck

Unable to use Internet Connect with my new wireless device

I just received a new wireless device for my macbook pro. Normally I sign on with Internet Connect, but after setting up the new card, I can only connect using Verizon Manager, which usually doesn't give me good connection, I don't know why.
I called the Verizon people, they mostly are clueless as to how I was able to sign on using both Internet Connect and Verizon Manager before with my old card. I remember there's a way of setting up manually if you want to use Internet Connect. Problem is, when I went to Systems Preferences and clicked on Network, a pop up prompt saying "your network setting have been changed by another application" keeps popping up even as I keep closing it. ***?!!! How can I get rid of it so I can change network setting manually?
I just want the option of connecting with Internet Connect with my new wireless device. BTW, when I try connecting with it using my old setting National access/ Broadband access , I get a message saying "the selected communication device does not exist".

"I just received a new wireless device"
If not from Verizon, then who? Did it come w/a manual? If not, have you contacted the vendor/manufacturer for instructions?

Nintendo ds--trouble connecting with TimeCapsule

We just bought a TimeCapsule and have it connected with our multiple wireless devices (including Wii) but cannot seem to connect our Nintendo DS Lite devices to it. We get the following message:
"Connected to the access point but unable to connect to the server. Confirm connection settings and internet availability. For help call...."
The error code is 52101.
We'll call the phone number provided but I suspect someone else has had this problem here. Thanks in advance for any help.

Guest network is designed using http protocol. After a device has connected to it, if you try to get online, you have to input the guest password first. After inputting the guest password, that's the time that the device can get online/access any websites. It would really be a problem if the device that you want to work with the guest network doesn't have a guest network. For more info about guest network, check out this link: Guest Network Frequently Asked Questions.

Can time capsule boost the wireless network without beeing connected with cabel, hence wirelessly?

Can time capsule boost the wireless network without beeing connected with cabel, hence wirelessly?

Yes, providing that the wireless network has been created by another Apple "n" router.
The "extend a wireless network" feature on the Time Capsule is not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.

IP Address of Airport Express when sharing connection with a Linksys?

Question is in the Subject line, I am wondering if there is an easy way to know what the IP Address of the Airport is when I have it set up to share connection with my Linksys.
My Linksys IP address is 192.168.1.1, so I am assuming that the way I have it set up that my Airport is using 192.168.1.x, but I am not sure how to figure out what the "x" is.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Nevermind, I figured it out through a guessing game

How do i create a secure internet connection with my linksys router?

I'm having trouble creating a secure airport connection with my wireless "Linksys" router. How can I create a secure connection?

If using a Linksys router, contact LinkSys Customer Support and/or post in their forums.

Loose wireless connection with security turned on

I am able to get a wireless connection when the wireless network has no security enabled. But when the security is turned on - using WEP or WPA (TKIP) - I can no longer get a connection. The error message says that the password is not correct (however it is).
Of note: I have another G4 (aluminum 1.33 GHz) running the same version of OS X that does not have a problem connecting with the security turned on.
I have the same problem at home or with other wireless networks that require passwords.
At home I have a linksys wireless router.
Thanks!
1 GHz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

i have a very similar situation to yours... my airport cannont get an IP address from any wireless network with security enabled. if it is completely open, it will lock in and get an IP address and everything is fine, but with ANY kind of security enabled, it wont get an IP and gives me the standard "169...." addresses. If i turn off security on a given base station, the machine will suddenly get an IP address, so I know this is a problem with the machine and not the router as other wifi devices connect to the router fine.
I've tried using standard WEP, WPA, and also MAC-address security and i get the same problem across all of them. Ive tried this with about 5 different routers, 3 linksys, 1 netgear and one dLink.

How to set up the airport express with a linksys wireless-g broadband router

I need to know if and how to set up an airport express to use to extend a home wi-fi network. I have AT&T service with a 2WIRE modem. I am using a Linksys wireless-G broadband router. I also have the new Macbook Air notebook. The airport express keeps giving me a blinking amber light even when the ethernet cable (from the modem) connected. Please let me know how to set up an extended wifi network using this system. Any help would be appreciated.

If that is all that is done, the Express would not provide more wireless coverage. Instead, it would duplicate the coverage provided by the Linksys and there would be two WiFi systems covering approximately the same area. As per my above comment, one Express connects via Ethernet to the Linksys. The second Express provides the extension.
You must have misunderstood what I was saying.
Linksys is providing a wireless network.
The Express is connected to one of the LAN ports on the Linksys router using a long Ethernet cable (or Ethernet powerline adapters)
The Express is located on the other side of the house, for example.
The Express is configured to create a wireless network using the same wireless network name, security and password as the Linksys router
The Express is configured in Bridge Mode
This has worked quite well for me for years. Computers "switch" from one wireless access point to another smoothly and automatically while they move around the house.
Although this is an "extended" network, it is technically known as a "roaming" network.
This is what I was suggesting as a possible alternative without having to buy more hardware.

Can I use the Airport Express to connect to a Linksys Wireless Network and then use the Ethernet port on the Airport for a wired connection to a device for internet access? Would I be able to then also use that Ethernet pt to a Ntwk Hub for more wired c

Thanks for the help. Looked but not clear on what I am trying to do as being possible. Can I use an Airport Express to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless Router, such that I can then use the Ethernet ports on the Airport to either connected to a PC wired, or even use a hub off the Airport Express to allow multiple wired connections to it?
I am not looking to have the Airport Express extend my wireless network, just connect to it and provide me wired connections in a different location from where my Linksys Route is located. Would prefer to replace Linksys with all Apple, but just not possible financially yet. Thanks for the help.

If the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is an 802.11n model, then yes, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, the AX would join the wireless network provided by the Linksys router and its Ethernet port would be enabled for either a single wired device or for an Ethernet hub or switch for multiple devices.

Ipod touch 1st generation can't connect to my linksys wireless router wr110. THe signal is strong and there is a check mark beside my network name, but when I try to open safari it says "unable to find server".

My friends MacBook connected easily to my wireless, but why not the ipod touch? When prompted for "Password" I enter the security key info and nothing, nadda....zip. The MacBook asks for the "Security Key" info not "Password", like the touch. What's the difference?

Click on the blue arrow to the right of the network name, if IP address starts with "169." ,restart your router. It should connect properly after your router reboots in a minute or two.
