Trouble connecting WRT300N to internet

Been at it for a few hours, just got this router and I'm having a field day with it. Everything is plugged in right, but whenever I try to get an IP address or connect to the internet through the setup, it won't recognize that it's connected to the internet. Plugged in my BEFSR41 wired router and it works just fine. So I don't get what's going on.

Connected the Modem to WRT300N using Ethernet cable at the Internet port of router.
Connect another cable from either 1-4 ports from back of router to the computer.
Open routers set up page using http://192.168.1.1 …..You will get username & password ….leave username blank & in password use admin.
Try to configure the router.

I am trying to activate LR6 on a laptop that will not be connected to the internet. I have clicked on the link for offline activation, but it says to follow the instructions till it says "having trouble connecting to the internet". I never get there. How do I get it to generate the code that I can take to an internet enabled device so I can validate it?

Trouble connecting to the internet...

Hiya chaps
A query for a friend of mine who was lucky enough to get a black macbook £350 cheaper than retail...
Trouble is, she cannot get it to connect to her internet. I don't really know where to start. But i know that she gets this message
"the selected network uses an access control list to restrict access and this computer is not on the list"
I presume this means that she just has to add her mac to the access list on her main computer.
Just wanted to know of any better ideas. Apologies if this question is slightly vague, but i'm aware that the members of this forum are extremely helpful...
Thank you
Nick

Indeed, she most probably uses an authorization system for her network, so that she has to add the MAC-address of each computer which is allowed on the network manually.
Of course I don't know how she configured her network (router, other method,...) but I do know that some routers offer this security option; so you have to add the MacBooks MAC-address to the "allowed-list".

I have a 4s from verizon. I always have trouble connecting to wireless internet. Keeps saying unable to join network. My husband has a 4 and has no trouble. What is my problem?

Hi Hogdays,
I know how frustrating it is not to be able to connect to the internet.
Below are the troubleshooting steps to try to figure out why:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
I would follow the steps in order, but this section is specific to your error message:
If you're unable to join a nearby Wi-Fi network
Try restarting your Wi-Fi router by turning it off and then on again.
Note: If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
When joining an 802.11n Wi-Fi network, ensure that your router is properly configured. See this article for more information.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings, including passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Hope this helps ....

Having trouble connecting to the internet

Hi everybody for the last month or so my internet connection has been disconnecting from the internet. I’ll open Safari then a error message appears telling me that I am not connected to the internet. All 3 lights on my modem are green indicating that the Modem (2wire home portal) is working. I opened ND to try to fix the problem the status settings indicate that ISP failed, and server failed. I called Apple technical support for help but they blamed the modem for causing this to happen. I went out and bought another modem hoping that a new modem would fix the problem, but it did not, Same error message “ you are not connected to the internet.” I called my ISP about 10 times there are no server outages in my area. I ran numerous hardware test to see if the hardware was corrupted, all test came back negative.
I am using a 2wire home portal (Non wireless) I have a Intel i mac core duo maxed out. I have no software installed on this computer ( other then the software that shipped with the i mac. I never download anything off the internet (Not even a widget) I don’t what else to do... I don’t want to take the computer to a Apple store because I’m most cretin that nothing is wrong with the computer plus the nearest Apple store is almost 200 mile away from where I live.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.

This is frequently solved in the Network section of System Preferences. Assuming your "Location:" reads "Automatic" then verify your Network Port Configurations. I don't have a cable modem setup, but imagine "Built-in Ethernet" is what you're using, and if so, that should be primary. Be sure to "Apply Now" once a new setting is selected.
If you recall set-up, did your iMac discover the connection immediately, or was it necessary to add information to the Ethernet panel? Since your network was functioning before the iMac set-up, the iMac should have discovered it on its own and you should not have had to enter any info.
If that was not what happened, I'd scrap the Network settings, return all to defaults, and start over with the iMac discovering the connection on its own.
Edit-
One other thing that might be different from your PC's, check the Energy Saver's Sleep panel to see that you have unchecked the "Put the hard disk to sleep when possible" and see if that helps at all.

Trouble connecting WRT300N to the Playstation 3 (PSN)

OK so I just bought a new Linksys Router (WRT300N) upgraded from the WRT54GS, which was having issues connecting to the PSN.
So now Ive hooked up my new router and still getting the same issues... PSN connection timing out.
Ive tried everything under the sun for both routers... port forwarding, DMZ, disabling any security on my routers, firmware upgrade... you name it.
Im wondering if anyone has the new router I have and had problems connecting to the PSN and if you were able to fix it??? If so how...
I should note too, that if I go wired from my PS3 to my internet modem... it works A ok... but Id prefer not to have a 75 foot long ethernet cable running around our house...
Help
Cheers in advance!

Nada.... Ive done most of the obvious stuff... port forwarding, DMZ, static IP. The odd thing is... my neighbor has the same PS3 I have 60 gig, same router, same ISP... I cant figure out whats wrong with this...
Please help...
Hi JIGGGsaw ,
Few things in mind you should take care of once trying to perform the settings on router.
1. enabled the DMZ - with the static ip let says - 192.168.1.55
2. Click security Tab > unchek filter anonymous internet request.- save settings.
3. administration tab > check if UPnP is enable ,if not then enable it .
4. Now once if , you are not able to connect through wireless networking Option in PS3. then try adding the Networking settings manually Like-
Ip address - 192.168.1.55
Subnet mask- 255.255.255.0
Gateway      - 192.168.1.1
DNS settings -
Primary DNS - 4.2.2.2
Secondary DNS - 192.168.1.1
NOTE : First Try With only WEP security level or unsecured network if it works , then later change the security.
NOTE 2: Wireless settings : Radio band- standard 20mhz
                                                          wide: 3
                                                   standard : 11,9,1,6 (any one)
Let me know the status now?

Connecting WRT300N to internet using 802.11x

My service provider requires 802.11x authentication to connect to Internet. Is there any way to get my WRT300N to act as a 802.11x client on it's internet connection?

no...the linksys router's cannot be used as wireless clients..they only act as a wireless access point ..

Trouble connecting iPad to Internet

I can connect fine to my wireless network with my iPad, but I can't get out to the internet. All of my other devices in the house are getting out fine (Mac, iPhones, Windows PCs, Apple TV). The problem is recent with the iPad (last two weeks). I've tried forgetting the network, re-establishing the network, resetting the network connection. Not sure why the iPad is the only device that can't get to the internet. My ISP is through comcast cable. What else can I try?

When you input your password, what did you use? If you haven't yet, provide the encryption code from your router. The encryption code is usually a 10 - 13 digit code, which is often comprised of letters and numbers. Try it and let me know if that solves your connection issue.

Trouble Connecting to Cable Internet

Recently I have been unable to connect back to the internet with my cable modem. A few months ago I tried using wireless internet from houses around mine and surprisingly it worked. (I realize this isn't TOTALLY legal.) Anyway, I have been trying revert back to the cable modem and nothing is working. I turn off the airport. I have restarted the computer. I have restarted the modem and waited the 15 minutes. I had unplugged the cable when I was using the airport obviously and twice I was able to plug it back in and it would work. This isn't the case anymore. I hadn't changed any setting so I'm not sure what the problem could be. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Now when you plug your iBook directly into the modem, the internet works. Correct? Which Airport do you have? Try resetting your Airport. Below are some more links that should be useful...
Knowledge Base Document #106858 is the Airport Troubleshooting Guide
Knowledge Base Document #107451 on Resetting the Airport Extreme Base Station

Knowledge Base Document #108044 on Resetting Airport Express
Knowledge Base Document #166602 troubleshoots I Don't See My Airport Network
I didn't know what Airport you had, so I included all of them. Select your model and try reseting it. If worse comes to worse, just do a Factory Settings Reset. You will have to configure it like you just took it out of the box. I have found that this usually fixes most AirPort problems.

My Airport base station has a status message that says "This AirPort base station doesn't have any DNS server addresses and might have trouble connecting to the internet." What does this mean and how can I fix it?

My internet is still working, but it's very intermittent. This happened after I updated the firmware a few days ago.

Did you remember to completely power cycle the entire network?
You would want to do this after any update or change to the network.
If you did not do this yet......things are out of sequence.
Power off everything on the network.....all devices.....power down order is not important
Wait a few minutes
Start the modem first and let it run a minute or two by itself
Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
Work your way out on the network starting each device about a minute apart
Check the network

Trouble connecting iMac to internet after Time Machine Reboot

Bear with me here guys.... I recently went to download Aperture onto my Mac but found that I required Mountain Lion, so I purchased it to upgrade from Snow Leopard. Having download the new OS I started the installation and it failed as it appears I have a fault with the Hard Drive; though my Mac gad operated just fine previously. As everytime I restarted my computer it wanted to start installing Mountain Lion but couldn't complete due to HD error; I rebooted via the Snow Leopard CD and loaded my last Time Machine save. I now have the Mountain Lion icon sat on my dock awaiting installation, though after I've had the HD fixed first obviously.
So having just reloaded the OS and rebooted via my Time Machine Backups (For which I use a USB connected Samsung External Drive) my iMac will connect to my wireless network via Airport just fine. Loading the internet via Safari is another matter. It will load the window but will remain blank white with the pinwheel spinning. Eventually I get the message that another computer using the same IP address is already on the network.
Having read the threads on here I have already tried resetting Safari, restarting my Router, I have double checked all the IP adresses of my another connected devices (none hold the same IP address as the iMac) have been round in circles in Network Settings Renewing the DCHP Lease, trying the set the IP address manually, turned everything off and on again and I have spoken with my service provider and they have not been able to tell me any more than the threads on here; and so here I am at a loss now.
Any or advice would be really appreciated.

Just a few more ideas...
Searching the web, I've found some possible fixes, some of which you have probably already tried.
Try connecting directly to the router with an Ethernet cable.
Check your wireless security (you should use WPA2, it's the strongest). Someone could be using your network, so try changing the password and see if that helps (this can be a pain if you have a lot of devices).
Flush the DNS cache:
For Lion and Mountain Lion: Enter the following command into Terminal:
sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
For Mavericks:
dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
Update the router firmware if it is out of date. Also, you can reflash with the current firmware, which [i]might[/i] help.
Hope some of these help, if not best of luck with getting the fault sorted out.

ITunes Having Troubles Connecting To The Internet

So for about a week now iTunes has had an error saying "Could not complete the iTunes Store request. The store may be busy. Check yout Internet connection or try again later." And on every picture except the ones that rotate at the top and the ones in the middle of the middle of the main page of the store there is a little pic that is a brocken chain link. The iTunes music store works on all our 5 Macs except for our Mac Mini. I am trying to buy and album and it would let me go to the albums page so I individualy added each song into my cart and they arent downloading. An error saying comes up saying "There were problems downloading some purchased items.
For more information on the items that could not be downloaded, click below.
Could not connect to the server to download “Rapgirl / The Graduate / MC Lars”.
Please check the status of your internet connection in your web browser." (It does this for every song.)
I have reset my internet connection and I am using hte internet right now because I am posting this message.
Anyone know what to do?

Ever since i updated my phone to iOS.6 I have troubles connecting to the internet and the app store and iTunes app take longer to load

It keeps saying 'Unable to join' with my home internet and my work internet, i have forgotten both networks several times, but with my home one it keeps disconnecting with my work internet connection it connects but sometimes asks me to join then comes up ' Unable to join '
The App Store and iTunes takes ages to load, sometimes it is quicker without internet!!
I could get onto both of those apps quickly with the previous download, i current have iOS. 6
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

I have no more tricks up my sleeve other than maybe it is a firewall issue with your router.
You can tap or click on the heading below and read Apple's take on the issue. I really don't hold out much hope though that his kb article has any more to offer to you, but I am out of ideas now.
