Trouble Hooking up E2500 Wi-Fi Router

I just purchased this router and am having trouble hooking it up to my old HP Pavilion a1250n PC-I am currently using a wireless broadband card to access the Internet-Directions tell me to connect the router to my modem.  I have no external modem.  Do I have to obtain one?

You probably have DSL service right? Then follow these instructionsions here.  You may have a direct connection with no modem if something like ATT fibre dsl.

    online help and phone help has been less than helpful,  anyone have any Ideas?

    Ok I found " Installing the liksys wireless router with a westell 6100 modem" in the verizon troubleshooting guides. printed the instructions so I would'nt forget. step 1 open your web browser and enter http://192.168.1.1 in the address field.  PROBLEM it comes up with a login screen that I don't know how to sign into. tried the obvious stuff. cannot get past the login screen. I knew this sounded to easy to be true. anyone have any ideas?

  • Cannot install Software for E2500 or access router setup page

    Please help!  I first bought the e1200 version and when I tried to download it on my computer, it worked at first and installed correctly, but the cisco connect didn't properly install.  I was able to log into the router online setup page ONE time.  I tried to reset it and reinstall but it will not work.
    So I thought ok let me go and purchase a better one (thinking it was the router version having issues).  So I brought it back and purchased the E2500 and I am having the same trouble.
    I have tried to reset it about 20 times and reinstall and it will not install at all.  It still gives me internet, but I cannot log into the http://192.168.1.1/ page at all, it tells me internet cannot display...
    Please help!

    Hi there. Please check first if router is responding properly. Are you on Mac or Windows? On Windows pc, open command prompt (start>run>cmd for XP/ start>search>cmd for Vista and Windows 7) and type ping 192.168.1.1 and press enter. If you are getting 4 lines of replies from 192.168.1.1 bytes 32 something then router is okay. On command prompt again go down to the next line where it has the flashing cursor and type this time: start http://192.168.1.1. After you press enter, your browser comes up and normally will prompt you to log-in to area 192.168.1.1 and that is where you can use admin in both fields (username and password since you reset the router already). If you get page cannot be displayed still, disable proxies on the browser. Example if you are on IE, you click tools and then internet options and go to connections and click lan settings. On the small window that comes up, just make sure nothing is checked and  then try on the address bar again http://192.168.1.1. If your computer still cannot access it, try a different browser or a different computer.

  • What do I need to make my iMac + xbox 360 hook up to my current router

    I need to find a way to make my iMac wireless and don't know what would be best for my set up. I have cable broadband through a rca router, which then hooks up to my vonage phone device, which then connects to my linksys WRT150N which has an emachines pc through ethernet and a sony laptop wireless connected to it. I want the iMac, which is downstairs to be hooked up to the internet wirelessly if possible and my son also has a wireless adapter for his XBOX 360 that he wants to use as well. I know this sounds tres' complicated and I have given lots of information here but if anyone knows what I should get for this situation, I would be most appreciative! Airport of some sort? Third party stuff that's compatible? I am so confused!

    Achieving data rates of 54 Mbps requires that all users have an AirPort Extreme Card and connect to an AirPort Extreme Base Station. If a user of a Wi-Fi Certified 802.11b product joins the network, that user will get up to 11 Mbps and AirPort Extreme users will get less than 54 Mbps. Actual speed will vary based on range, connection rate, site conditions, size of network and other factors.
    imac specification I am guessing your imac g4 is usb 2 and requires an airport extreme wireless card.
    The xbox360 wireless adaptor should be able to connect to your router.
    To enable the imac to stream photos, movies, music to xbox360 you'll need a piece of software called Connect360. you get that here: http://www.nullriver.com/products/connect360
    I'll give you my network setup if yours fails.
    Two Apple Extreme N routers, First router hardwired to cable modem and the "bridged" second apple router. The first router also has a HP laserjet 24/7 connected to its usb port and one more hardwire to a pc laptor downstairs(no wireless card in the piece of crap windows machine). Second router hard waired to Vonage and an Apple Express router which I set up to create its own network. The xbox360 upstairs wirelessly connects to the Apple Express. I also have apple TV wireless to first apple Extreme router. Everything works fine and network is extremely fast.

  • Adding E2500 as second router but it won't let me change IP address

    I've been looking all over for some posts on this, to no avail. So that's why new post.
    Was using E2500 router for my mom's router (so I could install a Roku).  All went well, until a couple of months ago, it just sponaneously stopped working. (Go figure.) To make a long story short, I ended up reinstalling the firmware and then when it failed again, I bought her another router to get her up and going. I figured, I'll use the e2500 to add it to my own network to extend the coverage etc.
    I understand that I need to log onto the router just PC to router to reconfigure:  disable DHCP and set IP address to 192.168.1.2. Yes, i have read many posts in the KB; particularly of use was the one on cascading routers.  I'm going LAN to LAN, and basically just want to make the e2500 into an access point that I can both plug into and use wirelessly. (I will be running cable through my basement from one end of the house to the other.)
    I should note that I turn off my Wifi on my laptop (Win 7) so as to not pick up the signal from my main router (E3000) and of course I disconnect from LAN.  Also I have done a factory reset on the e2500 (30 30 30 rule). (Although, when I get logged on, it somehow remembers the name I gave it when it was at my Mom's....weird, no matter how many times I do it.)
    First of all, every time I log onto the router, it makes me re-upload the firmware (and wait and wait) every time. OK.
    I log onto the e2500, just PC to router, after it prompts me to upgrade the firmware, I'm in.  On one of these rounds, I turned off DHCP, and that seems to "stick".  HOWEVER, when I change the IP address to 192.168.1.2  and/or change the router name to the name I want, when I click Save, it just takes me out to the logon again.  And it doesn't save the new IP address or name, which I see when I go to the page to verify. 
    OK so I'll keep the old name, just let me change that one digit in the IP address.  No go.  
    I've spent so much time on this, both here and at my mom's.  This router has been very difficult to work with.  What should I do?  Thanks for any and all help.

    as soon as you turn off dhcp then your pc can't get served an ip anymore. So, two choices, set your pc to a static ip before you start or set the ip of the router then turn off dhcp on the router and then connect it to the main router so it will serve your pc an ip from the main router. but from all the other issues you mentioned it sounds like it may be a bad router at this point. maybe it got a power hit or something?

  • Problems hooking up Inspiron 6000 with Router WRT54GS

    We have a WRT54GS that has been set up and working wonderfully.  My son just came home from college with his laptop (Dell Inspiron 6000 with wireless card, etc) and I wanted to hook it up also.
    I think I'm missing a setting somewhere because, although I've entered the MAC into the router MAC filter list and the laptop shows our network name, I cannot get the laptop to connect.  I get the prompt for our password, enter it, and then it just can't connect.  Any suggestions as to what I've done wrong or what should I be checking?  I've spent far too much time on this today.

    It sounds like you have a wired computer connected to the router and that this computer is able to access the Internet without any problems.  Is this correct?   If so, then your basic router setup is complete.  But it also sounds like you have never connected a computer wirelessly to this router.  Is this correct?  Normally, wireless would be turned on by default.  So the only settings that you normally need to change are the wireless security settings.
    You mentioned that you were using MAC address filtering.  On the same page where you "Enable"  wireless MAC address filtering, make sure you have marked the option "Permit only PC's listed .....".  Then enter the MAC address of your son's laptop in the "MAC Address Filter List".  Be sure to click on "Save Settings" on both of these pages, and wait for the page to refresh (3 to 60 seconds).
    Have you checked to see if your son has the Intel Pro Wireless 2200bg card?  You can check this in "Device Manager", under the heading of "Network Adapters".

  • Trouble with a Linkysys Wireless-N Router WRT-160W After a black out

    So like the subject says I am having trouble with the router. Last night there was a major storm in my town and the power and cable were out for hours. When it came back (it was only for about twenty minutes) the network was there but I was not able to connect to it from any of my computers. The desktop however that was hardlined to it works fine on the internet. I've tried restarting the modem the computers, and the router, pushing the reset buttons, even holding the reset button to the point it made the router act like its being used for the first time and creating a new network but I still can't connect to it. I only bot this router a couple of months ago so I'd hate to have to buy a new one.
    Any help would be appreciate.
    Thanks.

    Are you using Cable connection or DSL connection ?
    If you are using cable connection then follow this link and if you are using DSL connection then follow this link to configure your router. This should fix the issue for you.

  • Need to disable E2500 Ports on router.

    Hello,
    i have an E2500 and i need to disable the ports on the router. I have a DSL line going in and thats it. I do not want it to be able to accept any wired device and have someone get on the internet. I do not want someone to just take a laptop, with a LAN able, plug it into a port, and get internet. How would i be able to disable the ports? there has to be a way

    hmm thats not good.
    is there a way i can port forward onto a port or something? like forward port 2 on port 2 so if something connects, it wont?
    i wish there was a way, i might have to result to physically damaging the ports.
    Superglueing RJ45 jacks onto your router wouldn't solve anything that couldn't be cleared by performing a hard reset though...unless you also plan on opening and desoldering the red reset button!

  • ATT hooked up new u-verse router, now time capsule does not work and airport utility does not see it ?

    ATT hooked up the new U-verse router replacing the older 2wire router. Old 2wire router worked fine with Airport +Time Capsule. Now only the amber light flashes. When I try to reconnect with Time Machine it does not find the Time Capsule nor does the airport utility find the Time Capsule. Any help?

    Okay, the 3801HGV also doesn't bridge - but there is a workaround. Info on the workaround comes from 'SomeJoe7777' at this link:
    http://forums.att.com/t5/Residential-Gateway/U-verse-for-BUSINESS-2Wire-3600HGV- bridge-mode-or-another-AT-amp/td-p/2707013
    As for connecting to your TC: the 3801HGV uses a default IP address of 192.168.1.254. It passes out IP addresses to your networked devices, and all of those IP addresses will be 192.168.1.something. The TC uses a default IP address of 10.0.1.1. As your primary router, if the TC's defaults weren't changed, the TC would be handing out addresses to your networked devices that are 10.0.1.something.
    If your computer has an IP address of 192.168.1.something, it won't be able to see the TC if the TC's address is 10.0.1.1 (or anything else that's not 192.168.1.something). Hopefully that makes sense!
    Go into System Preferences on your Mac, and click the Network icon. Click on Ethernet on the left side, and you'll be able to see what IP address your Mac has been given. My guess is that it has a 192.168.1.something address from the 3801HGV.
    If I'm right about the 192.168.1.x address, and that your TC is running with 10.0.1.x addresses, then that's why your Mac can't see your TC. In this case, you need to change the Mac's Ethernet setup to manually set your Mac to a 10.0.1.x address for the TC to see. To do this, go to System Preferences, then Network, then click Ethernet on the left side.
    Set the Configure IPv4 dropdown to 'Manually', and it will open up some places for you to fill in information:
    IP Address: 10.0.1.15 (or a similar number that won't conflict with your TC's address, but starts with 10.0.1)
    Subnet Mask: put in 255.255.255.0
    Router: 10.0.1.1 (I'm assuming here that your TC was running with the default IP address; if it was something different, then set Router to whatever IP address your TC was using.)
    Then, click the Apply button to make your changes active.
    Now, since your Mac's IP address will be in the right "subnet" for your TC, they should be able to see each other. (It's kind of like having to live on the same block as someone to be able to talk with them. In general, if your computers don't have similar addresses, they can't talk to each other. Of course that's simplified greatly, but you probably get the idea...)
    Once you've got the IP addresses matched up, you should be able to see your TC. At that point, you can update the TC to work with the 3801HGV. I recommend setting it to bridge mode, but if you can follow SomeJoe7777's advice, go for it!
