Unable to connect router to internet and computer at the same time.

I'm not sure where to start, but here goes. We recently got the internet set up at out new house. Of course, the only connection is downstairs and the computer is upstairs. The guys that set the internet up said we needed a wireless router and I said "Ok, cool."
He gave us a router and a receiver and hooked them both up. (I myself know quite a bit about computers but I figured I'd let him do his job.) So we're all set up and I start playing my game and I get a "Windows has a conflict with another computer on this IP" or something like that. I figured I might as well put some security up on this thing. So I go downstairs and hit the SecureEasySetup (SES from now on) button and come back up here and follow all of the steps and it say's that it's not connected. I run back downstairs and looc for the MAC Address and notice that it was not mentioned as one of the selectable routers.
I figured the guy didn't really install the router, just hooked the internet up into it and plugged it in, and that my reciever picked up someone else's from the neighborhood. So I go and get the CD to install and notice that I have to have the router plugged into the computer AND the internet at the same time for installation to complete. Uhh, that could be a problem. Computer upstairs + router and internet cable downstairs = no go.
So here's my question: What can I do about that? I can't have the computer and the internet hooked up to the router at the same time.
Thanks to everyone that replies.

First off... don't use the setup CD.
Configure your router by http(ing) to the IP address, log in, and configure that way. much easier. typically its http://192.168.1.1
username admin
password admin
once you get logged in change that password and Remember it! If you lose it, you'll have to reset to factory defaults.
2nd
Change your SSID. Default is "linksys" you'd be suprised how many people leave the thing as defaults and someone else is using yoru network connection...
3rd
Add security WPA is better than WEP
4th
Now go upstairs and look for your new SSID, connect with your WPA code and you should be set.
5th - Not needed but for info...
If you want to go that far... you can change your DHCP set to something like 10.0.10.x but you'll have to manually change the IP of the router to that subnet as well...

Router for cable AND DSL at the same time?

Can I get cable and DSL service and buy a router that will run both at the same time? I'm looking at the Linksys RV016, RV042 and RV082 routers; and the D-Link DI-LB604 Load Balancing Router. It looks like they'll do this but the webpages don't say that clearly. My Comcast cable service is fast (up to 6Mbps downloads) when it's working and the neighbors are asleep, but the speed drops to around 2kbps at other times. Qwest DSL is guaranteed 256Kbps.
Also, is there a wi-fi transceiver that detects and uses unused bandwidth on neighbors' Internet connections? My house picks up 7 neighbors' wi-fi transceivers. If we're all on the same cable service it wouldn't matter if I transferred bandwidth to a neighbor's service. But if some houses have DSL and some have cable, then the DSL users could get extra speed in the mornings when the cable is fast. The cable users would get extra speed in the evening when cable is slower than DSL. Everybody wins.

no problems.
There is a priority order when multiple networking interfaces are available.
Ethernet is higher than Airport in the order.
If both ethernet and Airport interfaces are connected to the network, then ethernet becomes the primary networking interface.
If nothing is plugged into the ethernet port, then Airport will get control.

My wifi loses connection to my phone and laptop at the same time every 30 mins or so.

Hey all.
I have a WRT160 V2 router with firmware v2.0.02. I have had the router for years without any problems. A few months ago I have started to see an issue where I lose connection to my internet on my laptop, and wifi on my phone at the same time. I have wifi calling on my phone and it disconnects also at the same time. All of a sudden, everything will stop working, then about 40 seconds later, it all works again. I lost the connection maybe every 30 to 60 mins
Does anyone have an idea what can be causing this issue? Thank you.
It is really annoying because I rely on wifi calling for my primary phone, and I end up getting cut off when talking to people. BTW wifi calling is for all tmobile phones, but also normal wifi to surf the web on my laptop and phone drops too at the same time.

I would suggest that you isolate the problem. You may start the isolation by connecting a computer directly to the router (hard wired connection). Observe the connection for couple of hours. If the connection is stable, problem might be on the wireless settings of the rotuer. If the connection is not stable, do further isolation. Connect the computer directly to your modem. Observe the connection for couple of hours. If the connection is not stable, call your internet service provider. If the connection is stable, problem might be on the router itself. Upgrade the firmware first (firmware available in the website: Ver.2.0.03 Build 9). After the upgrade, reset and reconfigure your router.

Possible to be logged in on iPhone and computer at the same time?

I use Beejive on my iPhone. And iChat on the iMac.
I have checked allow multiple logins in iChat. But whenever I try to login say on the iPhone and iChat is open on the iMac, it tells me I'm logged into to two places and closes me out of one.
Is it possible to be on both at the same time?
Thanks

Can't run Xbox live and computer at the same time

I purchased a E3000 router for Christmas so we can run our new laptop, desktop, son's ipod, and the xbox live. At first, the only problem we had was that if a video or large page was downloading on the internet, xbox live would glinch and run very slow. Now, if someone's on xbox live and someone else turns on a computer, it boots them off xbox live. I don't know what the problem is. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Is the Xbox connected to the wireless network?
Try changing some advanced wireless settings on the router.
Open the setup page of the router and go to Wireless tab. Click on Advanced wireless settings sub tab. Change the Beacon Interval to 75, RTS and fragmentation threshold to 2304. Save the settings.
Click on Setup tab and change the MTU size to 1365. Save the settings and power cycle the router.
See if that helps you.

TS3899 I want to delete email msgs from iphone and computer at the same time?

If I delete a mess from my Iphone, it doesn't delete from my computer. How do I sync one with the other?

It sounds as if the mail account you are using is a POP account. Who is the email provider? If it is a POP account, then you cannot do what you are asking.

Wi-fi connection on HP Deskjet 2540 and network at the same time?

Hello
Please can you tell me how to keep my connection to my wi-fi printer whilst connected to my Virgin Media Broadband? Every time I want to print I have to switch off the Virgin network connection and connect to the HP Deskjet Wi-fi, and then switch it back again to Virgin to browse or send emails.
Thank you for your help

Hey there @AC33 Welcome back
I understand you are looking to install your printer on your network, so you can use the internet and printer at the same time. By the sounds of it, you may be connecting the printer currently, using the Wireless Direct feature, which will only allow you to connect to the printer or the network at a time. Basically, the printer is acting like a network.
Here is a link for you to check out. It will help you install the printer on your network:

I hope this helps you, let me know the outcome

I'm guessing that you are referring to Tyne Internet in the UK? Are you forgetting your Tyne username and passcode, or one for the computer? To recover the Tyne, you will need to contact them. If it is your Mac, from what little I understand about Mac computers, do you have it in your Keychain?

Connecting USB and Charger at the same time

Hello guys, Is there any problem connecting usb and charger at the same time? after that, the Nokia Battery Monitor 2.0 shows 93% after full charge. Any ideia?

yes, there is a male-female usb extension cable sold on computer store.
Just pick up the length you need.
But the price is almost the same with the cheapest 2.0 usb hub (4 port), so you better consider the usb hub one.
Good Luck.

Connecting via USB and FireWire at the same time...

Hey all,
I have a 3rd Generation iPod (with the play/pause, menu, next track and previous track buttons between the screen and the touch wheel), and I just bought a new Nano.
Obviously, I want to keep them both synced with my MBP, but there's a problem. The 3G will sync via the Dock-to-USB cable, but it will only charge and sync with Dock-to-FireWire. The Nano, on the other hand, doesn't support FireWire.
So, in order to sync/charge them both, I have to use a different cable for each.
Or, do I? Apple sells a Dock-to-USB-AND-FireWire cable (one Dock Connector with two wires coming out). I'd love to plug both the USB and FireWire connectors to the MBP and then just plug the Dock connector into one iPod and then into the other. But, in the documentation for the cable, it says not to connect both the FireWire and USB ends to the computer at the same time, or it might result in "unexpected behavior."
Does anybody out there have any experience using this cable with both ends connected at the same time? Does it work? Have you noticed any "unexpected behavior?"
I wanted to check before I go defying Apple's instructions.
Thanks,

I have two Apple accounts the one on my I phone and computer are the same the one on my mini i pad is different I have credit on my mini i pad however, when I purchase an App or movie I am charged on my credit card and the $40:00 worth of I Tune cards is by passed I have tried to change the mini i pad account details to be the same as my computer and original apple i.d.account however, it will not allow me to do I have tried to reset the mini i pad but not all the way to factory otherwise I would loose all my data. I have visited a genuis bench at Fountain gate however, they tell me I need to ring apple support which I will do on the next working day.

You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

I have an iPad 2 (wifi 3G). Is it correct to use wifi and 3G at the same time ? Or one at time depending on connectivity? Thanks.

Your iPad will use wifi first if available. If wifi is not available, it will use 3G.
