Upgrade wireless router from 3800 HGV-B

i have had this router for a few years, since I moved into my new house, but recently it has been turning off by itself and just seeming slower than usual. I was wondering if there was a way to upgrade it to a newer one. Maybe the PACE one offered through att.com

Thought this would happen, nothing that I'd trust that have found in the UK.
Have found though that the Intel is a mini-card and the Broadcom is a half-mini card, not sure if that would make any difference to performance but I no either would fit anyway as I had to look at the old one to get the part number for the research I did that came to no avail

TM wireless routing from iMac via Ethernet cable

I'm in Spain and have a wireless router from my ISP. I have my iMac connected over wifi to the router. I now have a 4th gen Time Machine that I am connecting directly to my iMac via an ethernet cable.
What I'm trying to do is to use the Time Machine to create a new wifi network while connected to my iMac by the ethernet cable. Main reason is, I'm Spain and connect to a VPN so it appears as if I'm in the US for US television and a few other services (US citizen residing abroad). I want to be able to sign into the VPN on my iMac and have this signal (and IP) broadcast over the wifi network I create.
I was able to finally setup a new wireless network with the Time Machine, but as soon as I login to the VPN, the Time Machine signal drops. Is there a way to use the Time Machine as a throughput wifi device for the signal sent over the ethernet cable between the iMac and Time Machine? It appears that the change in IP address when signing into the VPN is what may be causing the problem. Is there a way to fix this or circumvent it?
Thanks!

The box is a Time Capsule. Time Machine is the backup software on a Mac and only on a Mac.
Is the vpn a software version on the iMac?
Generally using a vpn and linking it via the computer to another router is particularly messy.
You are much better buying a cheap router that will do vpn with 3rd party firmware. Most vpn services recommend this kind of setup. I think you will do much better following their recommendations. Simply connect the iMac behind the vpn router when you want access to material from US.
TC do not have built in vpn and are difficult to setup for anything more than most basic functions.
I am not sure you can do ICS (internet connection sharing) from a vpn connection to the TC.. without a lot of manual routing rules.
Do a google.. there are several sites with info. Search for mac internet connection sharing vpn
In the end.. get a cheap router and use openvpn.

Verizon Fios Complaint / Requesting an upgraded wireless router

Good evening,
I called customer service about 6 times Monday night, requesting to get a new updated wireless router because my new laptop I purchased wasn't working on the current one. Knowing that my gear is outdated, I figured it wouldn't be a hassle because I've been a customer for 3 years. (I have the wireless b,g; all of my new neighbors have the wireless b,g,n)(I live on a military instillation where we are only offered fios as internet, so I can see the neighbors wireless signals and see that they are all b,g,n signals)
As soon as I asked if I could get a new router, Fios support instantly started explaining how its backwards compatible and it's not the routers problem after "looking" at my settings and other devices connected. Ok, I know that its backwards compatible, but I would still like to upgrade my equipment. . .technology is evolving and I do not feel like I should have to keep the original dinosaur that I was issued 3 years ago just because it still works.
After talking to me about the backwards compatibility and walking me through tech support on how to fix the connectivity problem, the Fios support tech explained that the new wireless routers are in high demand and that they are only given to new customers/preferred customers and in select areas? REALLY?
Questions for you:
What makes you a preferred customer? Is 3 years not enough?
Select areas???? I'm in DC! It's the nation’s capital.
New customers only? So are you really requesting I drop your service because my 3 years of loyalty is not good enough?
All I ask for is a little upgrade to keep up with the times/new devices. I do did not expect to get the answers I did, and feel as if Verizon does not care about its current customers, but feels the need to pull in as many new customers as they can, bind them in a contract, and completely fail at giving the loyal customers the treatment they should get for sticking with Verizon though all of the crap.
Thank you for taking the time to view my complaints, I would have called or filed a complaint through other means but I cannot navigate through the website to find an easy way to do that, and when I called to get the upgrade it was no help to me at all. So if any Verizon Tech Support have answers for me or can help me get an upgrade thank you.
Respectfully submitted,
Loyal Verizon Customer

My iPad will not let me connect to my wireless router from my desktop!!! any tips???

I just hooked up a new wireless router on my desktop computer today. My iPad picked up the connection immediately.. but when I go to put my password in for the router it tells me its unable to connect. I know 100% that Im putting the right password in!!! I dont know what else to do????

Is the password you are entering the 13 digit encryption code? It's usually found on the router and is most often a combination of letters and numbers.

I am upgrading wi-fi router from Airport Express to Airport Extreme. I followed set up instructions yet I am still getting the flashing amber light and cannot setup (using manual setup or the continue button). What should I do??

Hello,
I am upgrading my wireless router from an Airport Express to an Airport Extreme. After disconnecting the Express and plugging the Extreme via ethernet cable to the modem, I am receiving a flashing amber light after connecting the power source. I also reset the modem while the Extreme was still powered and plugged into the modem, but no luck. I also tried resetting the modem and the Extreme and still no resolution. Please advise. Thank you!

This error usually occurs when the Windows Firewall and/or anti-virus software blocks the connection attempt from the PC to the AirPort Extreme.
Microsoft Security Essentials can do the same thing.
Things would be much easier if you had a Mac or iPhone or iPad to set up the AirPort Extreme. Otherwise try turning off the Windows Firewall and Anti-Virus programs, etc on the PC.
Restart the PC, then see if the PC can contact the AiPort Extreme. It will likely help to connect an Ethernet cable from the PC to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme. You can disconnect the Ethernet cable once the AirPort Extreme has been configured.
Re-enable the Windows Firewall, Anti-Virus, etc and restart the PC.

Air Port and Wireless Router

I have recently purchased a wireless router from netgear (model # wpn824) and I am unable to connect to it wirelessly. I can connect if I'm plugged directly into the router, but not using air port. Actually, I'm not able to open up my web browser (I get the message "server not found") even if my air port icon is on and it seems as if I'm actually connected to the network. There is another computer in my household (a PC) and usually it has no problem picking up the network and getting online. Help?

Ensure that the RangeMax feature is disabled on the Netgear. This is not part of the wireless standard and therefore not supported by Apple.
Ensure that the DHCP server is enabled on the Netgear.
Ensure that MAC address filtering is disabled on the Netgear.

Best wireless router (apple or non-apple) for use with multiple Macs

What is the best wireless router, from any manufacturer, for use with 3-5 Macs? (in a reasonable price range... sub $150)
least problems
most reliable
strongest signal/best range
fewest drops
fewest reboots

The Apple Routers "just work".
I also have a linksys. It takes a good bit of knowledge and aggravation getting it set up, but once working it does fine.
If you plan to use your router to share a printer, hook to your stereo, etc. definitely stick with Apple. It will save you much grief.

Setting wireless router as an access point

I'm trying to set up a wireless router as an access point for a wired router. The wired portion of the network is fine and the internet connection is working. The laptop sees the wireless router and can log in to it. However, the wireless router does not receive an internet connection and cannot "see" the wired portion of the network. I cannot log into the wireless router from one of the wired computers.
Below are the settings I'm using:
Wired router--Linksys BEFSR41v3
Obtain ID Automatically
192.168.0.1
255.255.255.0
Local DHCP enabled
Start # 192.168.0.100
RIP Disabled
UPnP off
Wirless router--Linksys WRT54GS
Automatic Conifguration DHCP
192.168.0.2
255.255.255.0
DHCP Server off
Firewall/NAT off
UPnP off
Set to Router function (rather than Gateway)
I have had to set the laptop to a static IP, since it keeps revereting to a default IP. It is set to 192.168.0.102, 255.255.255.0, Gateway=192.168.0.1, DNS=192.168.0.1
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As you have Disabled the DHCP Server on the Router and the Changed the IP on the Router to 192.168.0.2. the only thing remaining is the Connection part that is you need the Connect the BEFSR41 router from the Number one port to the Number one of WRT54GS that should Work. Please remove the Static IP Address from the Computers.

Connect 2 wireless router

I live in Denmark and get wireless router from TDC (internet provider). I have one more wireless router "RVS4000+WAP4400" connected to my Samsung LCD TV and Dreambox. My question is how I can connect wireless "RVS4000+WAP4400" to my wireless router from TDC.

I agree with GV. You can follow this link to connect this 2 routers to each other.

Deleting Wireless Router Connection

I just recently moved my wireless router from a different PC to the PC I have in my room, however, I did not uninstall the linksys connection and such from the other PC, I just moved all the wires and my DSL connection wire to the PC in my room. I had to call Linksys to fix my router connection, so that person set up a new connection and a password, but she did not delete the other connection that the router was first running off of. Somehow that router connection (on the other pc) started to allow connection without a password, even though I did not remove the password, I honestly don't know how it happened. Now I am able to connect to my new password protected connection and my laptop that I use in the room can connect to our old connection which is "unsecured", does anyone know how to delete that connection? I was just going to uninstall the program on the old PC and hope that it will work, but I do not want to waste my time if it doesn't work, and I already called Linksys support and paid $9.99 for someone to log onto my PC to set up my new connection. The old connection is interfering with my new connection, because people are connecting to it, since it does not have a password, someone please help!

This is the 2nd thread I've seen with this same question/issue. I would like to know if CISCO is really hearing what we are saying!!!
The questions is HOW DO YOU DELETE THE OLD install?
The questions is not am I secure?
I have had several IT friends see the same issue but unsure if they have researched the support forums on here to get to the bottom of this. So this is my story...
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS QUESTION.
I'm having the same issue and have been for several months. It is true what you have stated. Even at my home (now an old network no longer used) that my access point via desktop doesnt show 2 networks. My mobile pc's do!
1 secured (bcse we reinstalled and locked it WPA2)
1 the old install that just "fell off the wagon" unsecured sometime last year.
HOW DO YOU DELETE THE ROUTER IF YOU CAN'T SEE IT?
ignoring that old one, and securing my new is leaving a weak signal for people to use. The kids in my neighborhood sit at the bball courts and use their pc's. When I unplug mine, they leave w/n 10min.
My neighbor tells me today that comcast calls her they see an unsecure linksys (which is my old one). Oddly enough, they are receiving reports that hers (secured network) had been hacked to go to Univ. Studios to dwnload full length movies. SMNT! I cant delete the router from the (once main desktop) PC bcse I dont see it in the list.

Connecting Airport to Existing Wireless Router

This is driving me mad.....
I have a wireless router from my ISP and I can connect to the internet wirelessly with Vista PC, XP PC, iPad and my MacBook Air. I got an airport so I can plug it into a printer and my stereo. When I try to setup the airport to join my existing network it goes off to reset then disapears from the airport utility then is no longer visible when I select my network back to the existing wireless network. I've tried everything and must have et it back to factory default a 100 times. On the last go my wireless network completly stopped working. This should be simple right ?
The router is using WEP, password is correct, etc. Can I not do what I want with this device and I need to connect it to the wireless router with a cable from the airport ethernet ?
Please help before I chuck the airport in the bin......

Hi, I've just setup today my AirPort Extreme Base Station. It was very easy to do. I read you have an AirPort Express, well I hope this will help you, if not contact me please, maybe we can solve the problem together.

Best wireless router for use with Powerbook 15"

Not everyone uses the Apple Airport, and some who do have mixed feelings about the various models.
What is the best wireless router, from any manufacturer, for use with an AlBook? What has the least problems, most reliable, strongest signal, fewest drops, best range, etc in your experience.

Joeski,
I'll have to get back to you on what card my wifes laptop is using. I think it's a 802.11a/g, but I will confirm. My Powerbook 1.67 has the built in wireless card and to be honest, I have never looked to see what it uses.
We have our D-Link router set up for WPA2.
Neither her or I have had any issues when we have had to connect anywhere to any other wireless network and when I come home, I can connect back to my router automatically since my network is set up on my Powerbook as my 1st network of choice in connecting.
As far as replacing the antenna, I really dont know. It's has 3 antennas on it and I get a great signal, so I never thought about replacing it.
Hope this information is helpful to you!

I have an Iphone 4S on ios7.0.3 and am attempting to use airplay with an airplay enabled AV receiver from Pioneer (VSX-53). I also recently upgraded my wireless router. I no longer get the airplay icon on my iphone? Any suggestions?

I have an iphone 4S on ios 7.0.3 and am attempting to use airplay with an airplay enabled AV receiver (Pioneer VSX-53). I also recently upgraded my wireless router and the roouter is working fine with the five elements on the network. Prior to the upgrade to 7.0.3 and the router upgrade the airplay feature working fine and i was able to consistently use airplay to stream music th the AV receiver. After the upgrades the airplay icon no longer appears on my iphone or on my macbook running itunes. Any suggestion on how to trouble shoot the missing airplay icon is much appreciated.

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
Nathan

Since upgrading, both our wireless printers are still visible, but OSX will not connect with them. Both work via connecting from other sources via the same wireless router (airport). What do I need to do to get my printing/scanning working again?

Since upgrading, both our wireless printers are still visible, but OSX will not connect with them. Both work via connecting from other sources via the same wireless router (airport). What do I need to do to get my printing/scanning working again?

First thing to try is reset Printing System:
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
Next would be reset the router (power off 15 secs then back on). And, 2 minutes later, reset the printers 1 by 1.

I have tried upgrading the firmware of the router as well as changing the security from WEP to WPA-2, no luck. Can anyone help?
