Trouble connection Laptop with Router

Linkysys Cisco Wireless-N WRT160N, My connection is fine, My sons laptop will not show my router in his connections. At times it will, and then at times it won't. Most of the time when it shows, he can not connect. We both have Network Magic, when having Network Magic try to fix the connection it never works. I have added his laptop on my devices. He has no problem connection with his Xbox. just the laptop, I am at a loss of what to do. Thanks

I assume that you are loosing both your wired and your wireless connection at the same time. Is that correct?
The most common cause for this is peer-to-peer (P2P) software. If you are running P2P software, go into the program and reduce the number of connections that the program makes.
If this is not your problem, please give more details. Also, please include your router model and version, ISP, the make and model of your modem, and how your system is set up.

HELP !! advice needed to connect laptop to router

hi all, i want to connect a router to a single laptop..no desktop or any other pc ..just single laptop..before i go ahead and buy a router...how easy is it to do ?...what cables or other connections may i need ( if any)..it is quite a modern laptop with in built wireless connection..running winxp etc etc...any help or advice would be really most appreciated..many thanks in advance

What kind of wireless card do you have in your computer? wireless g? wireless n?
The first question you need to decide is this: Do you want a wired network or a wireless network?
Advantages of a wired network:
Easier to setup and maintain.
Better security.
In some cases, faster speeds.
Cheaper.
All your network devices (computers, printers, etc.) must be wired to the router. In some cases, this means you must run a cable through your walls.
Advantages of a wireless network:
Your computer can connect to the Internet wirelessly, so you can move about your home or apartment without needing an Internet wire connected to your computer.
If your computer and router are in different rooms you can connect them wirelessly (you usually do not need to run a network cable through your walls).
Your network devices can connect to the router by wire or wirelessly.
So, do you want a wired network or a wireless network?
Also, since you are just starting out, I would suggest you go to Linksys.com , to the "Learning Center" and take some of the tutorials. This will help you understand some of the basics of networking.

Having trouble connect consistantly with websites, clear history then it works and an hour later, need to do the same thing (clear history to connect)

Just purchased new laptop with Windows 8, loaded firefox for browser as have always used in other computers. Am having trouble accessing websites, for example when I go to my gmail gmail.com, an error comes up that it can't access the website, check connections. But if I go and clear history, includidng the cache, then close Firefox and reopen and then try it works. Then I'll move onto other things and go back and it still works. Not sure what is the trigger, but when I try to go back to my gmail for example.(as it happens on other sites as well, my banking, my facebook, etc) I get that error again, I then have to again clear history,...then everything works!!! It's very frustrating as I have to clear history at least a dozen times per day! What is happening!

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
#Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
'''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
* '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
* '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
#Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
#In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
#Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
#* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
#* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
#Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
#Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
#Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

WRT160Nv3 trouble connecting laptop using Vodafone secure remote acces

I have a WRT160Nv3 router installed at home. My home laptops, gameconsoles and iPhone could be connected thru Cicso Network Magic. To get my netgear WGPS606 printerserver connected, I had to disable my windows firewall, connect it with CNM and enable my firewall. This works fine now.
Yesterday I got a laptop from my boss. This laptop has Vodafone Secure Remote Access installed in order to connect to (home) networks or with a HSDPA-card. On my homenetwork I can't get a proper connection thru VSRA, Network Magic doesn't see the laptop as a new device so it can't regocnize the mac-adres. I can connect with the windows tool but then my connection is not secured and I can not use my laptop on the company network. I've tried disabling my firewall (as I did connecting the printerserver) but this didn't work.
Anybody any suggestions?

If your Wireless Network is Secured or its an Unsecured Wireless Network ? If you are able to connect to your Wireless Network using Windows Utility then its not the problem with the router. If your Computer has any other wireless Utility and if you are trying to connect to your wireless network using that Utility are you getting any error message while connecting to your wireless network?
While using VSRA on your computer are you getting any error message?
If you need to know the MAC Address of your Computer then on your computer click on Start - RUN - CMD and click Ok... In the Command Prompt window type "ipconfig /all" and hit enter and under "Wireless Network Connections" you will find the MAC address of your Wireless Network Adapter.
So if you have enable the Wireless MAC Filter on your Router then you can Input that MAC on your Router and click on Save Settings.

Windows 7 Update Internet Connection Issue with Router

I updated two of four toshiba laptops with Windows 7 and installed Toshiba's wireless adapter driver for Windows 7. The adapter connects to the router and I can access all resources on my home network, however, Internet service is not available on the two laptops with the Windows 7 update. After disconnecting and reconnecting 7-10 times, the Internet Service connection does not drop. The other two laptops and two desktops that are not running Windows 7 do not have this problem. Is there any known issues with lynksys wireless routers and Windows 7?

When your Windows 7 machine is having problems, can it ping the following IP addresses:
127.0.0.1 (local loopback)
192.168.1.x - the DHCP IP address it was issued by the router
192.168.1.254 - your router
8.8.8.8 - Google DNS out on the internet

How to connect laptop to router by using udp receiver

I try to communicate between computer and laptop via router. Computer connect to router by wire. laptop have Wireless Mini Card. I open udp receiver to connect to router. How to connect to router ? what is net address number ? and what is port number ? how to find them ?

You can only connect to a router port if the router is running a service that
Allows you to do so. What kind of connections are you trying to do?
The net address is the ip address in u32.
The port is determined by the service you want to access.
What do you actually want to do with all this?
We need much more info. Router model?

Trouble Connecting Laptop to WRT54GS

this happens every time the power goes out. last time. i somehow managed to reconnect, but this time i have no idea what to do! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! i went into the connection properties and changed my IP address and located the network to put in the WEP key. it did nothing... what should i do?

Hey there, ilumtli!
You says you've changed the IP Settings of your computer? You don't need to do that actually. I need to have your answers for these questions I have in mind.
1. What is the version number of your router, you could find it at the bottom part of the device and it's usually located beside the model #; ex. WRT54GS v6. 2. Aside from this wireless computer of yours which is not working, do you have a computer which is physically connected to the router? If there is, is it able to get online?

Having trouble connect to 5Ghz router. ROuter by Amped wireless. No issues with 2.4Ghz, having trouble connecting AppleTV to 5Ghz router. Router by Amped wireless. No issues with 2.4Ghz

I am using 2nd Generation AppleTV. Like ot use 5Ghz singal for streaming.

Only the iPhone5 and newer supports 5Ghz wireless, do you have such an iPhone model?
The ATV Gen 3 supports 5Ghz, I've found nothing that says definitively whether the Gen 2 supports it or not.
Confirm that the Mac and iPad both support the 5Ghz standard.
This is a fairly new standard, so unless the device is less than a couple years old it's unlikely the devices support it.

Trouble connecting laptop to wireless

I have a wag54gs installed and a wireless adaptor on main pc. Had trouble with security and could only use laptop wireless with security dissabled. Ive had some help regarding security its all set up again and wireless is working on main pc. Laptop however wont connect now on wireless, says aquiring address or limited /no connectivity but works fine if i attach the ethernet cable and use security. Tried checking setting are the same but must be missing something., probably something simple. Any help would be appreciate.

OPEN YOUR VIEW WIRELESS NETWORKS , YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE YOUR WIRELESS CONNECTION DISCONNECT IT AND RECONNECT! YOUR ROUTER MIGHT BE WEP ENCYPTED SO YOU WILL NEED YOUR KEY1 THAT YOU CAN FIND ON THE ROUTER INFO, BY TYPING : 192.168.1.1 ON YOUR INTERNET WEB BROWSER!

Trouble connecting laptop to WRT320N

Hello All,
I decided to upgrade my router today to WRT320N. I connect to 2 wired computers, 3 wireless computers and an HP network printer on a home network. I have been able to get the wired machines and the printer going just fine with the Windows Vista and Linksys software. I have been unable to connect the laptops wirelessly. I have used the Network Magic program, the Vista Network program, and the HP Wireless asst without luck. I have tried using auto detect on the router, connecting directly from the computer to a wireless network and using the Network magic programs, incl manual connect and loading the settings on a USB device and trying that on the computer to be connected. I am at my wit's end! Any stepwise ideas out there about steps to take? I've restarted Comcast cable modem x2 and the router x4, and all the computers at least once. Thanks.

Hi, do you have Network Lock enabled? If yes, disable it then try connecting your laptops.
My Cisco Network Magic Configuration:
Router: D-Link WBR-2310 A1 FW:1.04, connected to Comcast High Speed Internet
Desktop, iMac: NM is on the Windows Partition, using Boot camp to access Windows, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit RTM, Broadcom Wireless N Card, McAfee Personal Firewall 2009,

Unable to connect laptop with Windows 2000

I have Lynksys router WRT54G. I have 3 laptops in house connecting to internet with no problem. A new person has moved in with a laptop that has windows 2000. The new person is not able to get an internet connection. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The Win2K was wirelessly accessing the internet previously to moving here. This laptop has MA 251 net gear wireless modem card that sticks out of the side. Owner got this laptop several years ago when she was in the Army.
The Win2K cannot see the other 3 laptops.
Sorry but I don't know the answer to your 3rd question.
Linksys service rep suggested maybe needing ethernet cable to get the Win2K connected.

Trouble connecting to home router

I am new to Macs. I have got a new home broadband router, 2WIRE201, and I can't get my Mac to connect to it wirelessly. My Windows XP VAIO and my wife's desktop both connect to it easily. Can anyone help please? Ta.

Hi
I had the same problems setting mine up.
I presume you have bluetooth and wireless on your mac?
If so go to Network Preferences and set up a new network (I called mine 2wire)
Ensure your 2wire is switched on and that the broadband signal(green light) is showing.
Your mac will (or should) ask you for a password for the network.
This is the serial number of your 2wire. Hey presto Mac should communicate with 2wire and vice-versa.
Hope this cures it for you.
You will love ur mac - no viruses, never crashes and looks so drop dead gorgeous it's untrue!!
Happy macdays!!
