Thanks, dont think i turned system off for two hours. Netgear modem is adsl2 or dm111p,,,when i connect them, they cant find each other. I checked phone line and it works, but thats it. Verizon cust service said the problem could be somewhere else. The online diaganostic i ran said my dsl was working, so im puzzled. Maybe there is a firewall issue?
#1 What online diaganostic, are you talking about?
#2 What software firewall is on your computer?

WRT54G and Westell 2100

This problem may have previously been answered, but I can't find exactly my problem. I currently have a wired desktop, DSL through Bellsouth, Westell 2100
modem connected by USB. My desktop has no ethernet port. The modem has one
ethernet connection and one usb. I bought a laptop to use in other parts of the house and a Linksys WRT54G router. I cannot access the internet from laptop wired or not, but the router has a full signal. I switched the modem to bridged mode, but had no internet on either desktop or laptop....everything is now set back to default.
I was told I could not have internet on both at the same time. Is there a way around this? If not, I still need to be able to access internet with wireless laptop but that's not happening either.
Help! Someone!

you need to make sure your westell and router are configured properly. there are issues with at&t/bellsouth westell's and linksys working together properly. you can find that info over here, http://www.dslreports.com/faq/6323 i use the same exact setup you do and once i followed this, it worked perfectly. hopefully that will help you.
well, you go have fun with that.

Westell 2100 Stopped Working

All right, I've been trying to fix this thing myself, but I've only become more confused. I'm no computer expert, so I'll have to be walked through any suggestions if it comes to manually changing an TCP/IP or something.
I've had this Westell 2100 in my service for years with no problems, then suddenly, it stopped working! I went through the usual, turn of the modem, wait, turn back on, hold reset button for 30 sec, etc. But no luck. The Ethernet light is solid green, the power is solid green, but the ready light is blinking slowly. Apparently that means it's trying to connect, but I can leave it there for an hour with no changes. I thought maybe it was a problem with the phone cable, so I switch to a new one. Still no changes.
Then I came here and saw a post somewhere saying that service to Westell 2100 was discontinued? Does that mean I'm not getting service simply because of my modem and I need to buy a new one? I want to make sure before I go out and buy one, only to find out it won't work either.
I don't know if this means anything but, we asked Verizon to stop our landline phone. I'm pretty sure the modem was still working for a little while afterward, but I can't remember.
Any help, please? I miss my home internet connection.

My frist thought would also be your service disconnection. I had a simmilar experince happen with another compeny many years ago.
However if by chance that isnt the cause. Than then I would suspect one of a few things. The top ones is ether the jack went bad(I seen this happen on a computer I worked on) or my brother had his modem go bad despite the fact he just got it. Then of course there's the chance the line was damaged or a filter messed up(Assumming your using filters).
Hope this helps.

I am FRUSTRATED! My goal is to create a wireless network using an iMac, a Westell 2100 modem (and router)

I started with a PC, the Westell 2100 modem (also a router) and the Linksys WRT54G. I set it up according to instructions I found on the Internet, and it worked fine for YEARS!!! Then, I switched to an iMac. After problems with the setup, I found help on the Internet, and got it working. It has been a long time since then, and I have had to disconnect things, and I do not remember how to set it up. I have searched the Internet, but cannot find a solution. I have searched the community, and followed some instructions here, but I have had no success. I know the following:
The Westell 2100 works as it should. I can connect directly to my computer and access the Internet.
The Linksys WRT54G has not been damaged.
At one point, I had set the SSID and had a WEP/WAP key that is HIDEOUSLY long. Here are some more tidbits: WPAPSK TKIP.
Please help! My new iPhone 4S(teve) needs it's wireless connection to Wi-Fi .

My wifi drops on the Iphone 6/cant reconnect

I have seen other people with this issue, I am posting it myself as well to get Apples Attention. My wifi on the Iphone 6 intermittently drops and wont reconnect.
I go to settings and it is searching for a wifi network and it cannot find any. Even after I turn wifi off then on, it still cant find mine or any other network. The only was it reconnects is after I restart my phone, which is the only temporary solution I can find. Anyone else having this issue?

Have you tried to delete the contact and then re add them?

Replacing Westell 2100 Modem with 6100

I am next to clueless with this stuff, so be kind. I've been having to reboot my 6 year old 2100 at least once a week to get my max DL speed back. Verizon sent me a 6100 to replace it in hopes that it might solve the problem. I swapped all the connections, but the Internet light on the 6100 stays red. What do I need to do to get the 6100 up and running? It came with no instructions. Do I need to call Verizon and have them enable it or whatever? Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Strange thing, I always had a Westell 6100 with my netgear wireless for 3yrs now. Went from 1meg to 3meg with no modem reboot issues but when i got to the 7meg plan and now the 10/15meg plan, I have to reboot my westell like clock work almost every 7 days...no one knows why and I have not changed anything but the plan upgrade. I suspect V is doing something with the line regularly. But the thing is its not a nightly or off hours issue...it could be AM, noon or early PM when this happens but the sequence seems to be every 7th day or so. It happened today for the first time on my new 10/15 meg plan. I have a new verizon 7500 modem/wireless combo that i may try to see if it fixes that. But otherwise never had issues with the westell 6100/netgear combo i have on 24x7.

Kicked off network at night and cant reconnect til...

Okay so almost every night (usually around midnight but sometimes earlier) at least one of our computers gets kicked off the network even though the all the lights on the hub are on and I can see its still active on the computer. Even my friend's xbox get kicked off. When I try to reconnect the computers it says windows was unable to connect, and troubleshooting suggests I'm not in range or that i should checked my adapter's settings. I checked and everything seemed fine. Also ran antivirus and whatnot, but found nothing.
Im not a very computer smart person so I really dont know what's wrong. Im posting it here mainly because I already have an account, Bt is my internet provider and I have a homehub, and a friend said Bt could be kicking me off (but he has a grudge against bt after having an argument with techsupport on the phone, and blames most computer problems on them).
Please help, or if this is the wrong forums point me elsewhere. Thanks.

Sorry I took so long to reply, been busy.
I changed the channel, still getting kicked off at night. And we've had bt broadband for over a year now I think so...
Also I should probably mention we do have other issues that I guess are similar.
-If downloading a large file the computer doing so gets kicked off the network and usually cant re-connect for half a day. (very annoying)
-I don't think the speeds are what they should be but we live in the countryside(ish) and its nowhere near unbearable.
-When me or my sister load up the game team fortress2 the hub resets.(haven't tried in the last few weeks)
-Sometimes at night after being kicked I see a CT homehub as well as my BT homehub and openzone on the connection list.
-Router resets once or so a week.
Any ideas?
Sorry for the bother.

Aperture 2. Cant reconnect to my referensed dng's...

Just the dng's. Yes I find the master but the buttons "reconnect" and "reconnect all" are not active. The only strange thing I can see is that the preview and the master have different time (hours& minutes). The rest is identical. Anyone else have this issue?
(I had to reconnect to a lot of pix after importing 1.5 to 2 - but most is tiff and jpeg and that's no probs. Just dng's...and yes, I can still open those dng's in for example Preview.

Thank you. That did the trick . Ap2 doesnt support my dng's anmore - thats why the reconnect butons are greyed out I suppose.
Hmmm. I have a Panasonic FZ30 and its not supported, but my dng's made from the raw's was ok for Apperture 1.5. And dng's made today are supported by App2.
So - I have to find out a way to make new dng's and reconect them...its just about 50 so it would not take to long.

Cant reconnect to JMS-provider

Hi,
i have two server-instances... lets say s1 and s2.
A application running on s1 is sending messages to a JMS-Provider provided by s2.
Everthing works fine, but when the s2 with the JMS-Provider gets restarted, s1 ist losing the connection and i have to restart it manually.

Phone is disconnecting from the "radio service" cant reconnect

I've lost my email and BB IM capabilities. Connection Manager says the radio service has been "turned off" I can't figure out to ' turn it back on"

My Subaru Forester 2012 wouldn't reconnect automatically to my new phone.
It did my head in for months.
Thanks guys, because of you, I worked this out. My Forester needed the "handsfree" setup, not just a Bluetooth pairing. Reading your posts, suggesting to setup the phone through the steering wheel buttons worked.
But only to initiate the hansfree component.
From turning car accessories on - Pressing "off hook" button on the wheel, initiates the "handsfree" setup. Because I'd done this originally, my old phone was in here. Deleted it using the tune dial (no voice commands) and deleted pairing on iPhone 4.
Turned car off, and back on again, pressed "off hook" and using tune dial, recorded new phone profile name, and paired the phone. Now it auto connects everytime I get in the car
Woohoo.

P1102w Not Reconnecting After Restart

Hi,
I have a Laserjet P1102w and I am having problems. After installing the printer driver, everything went fine. Then, when I shut off the printer for the night and attempted to print the next day with the printer on, it appreaed offline. I am using a Desktop so I used the basic Windows 'Add a Printer' wizard because I set up my wireless printer on my laptop on the network. I did also install drivers (latest). Obiously I cant reconnect to perform a wireless configuration because my desktop which is connected via Ethernet is in the other room. Would I have to reconfigure the printer on the network on my laptop?
Thanks!

Hi 12242
I understand the printer isn't reconnecting to the network.
I can help you with this.
I would power cycle everything.
Turn the printer and computer off.
Disconnect the power cable on the router for 10 seconds, then reconnect the power cable again. Turn the computer on, then the printer.
Then I would print a configuration page to see if you have a valid IP address and network name. Printing a Configuration Page.
If you have a valid IP address try and print from the computer.
If you don't have a valid IP address then I would restore the printer defaults.
Restoring the Factory Default Settings.
Plug the printer back into the computer with the USB cable.
Then go to start, all programs, HP, Laserjet, wireless configuration wizard, follow the steps to setup the wireless. Should be able to print wirelessly now.
Then I would setup a static IP address for the printer. Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. Go to Step six: Assign your HP product a static IP address.
I would use a higher value to avoid IP conflicts (e.g. if the current IP is 10.0.0.1, change only the last part to 10.0.0.20 so the address will remain and won't be used by other devices when the printer is powered off)
If you need more assistance just let me know.

Disconnected Mailbox can't reconnect.

Hi,
I have Exchange Server 2010 SP3 and DAG is running on two servers. I have moved my administrator & Discovery Search Mailbox database from the default database to DAG database successfully. Now it's shows disconnected & I cant reconnect the mail box.
but I can log on to the users mail id & can send, receive mail without any error. what is the reason for showing disconnect & what should I do?
Md. Ramin Hossain

Hello Mohd,
You have move your admin mailbox to DAG, after movment the source mailbox shows in disconnect state. I think it that mailbox which is seen to you .
Check can you find the admin mailbox in DAG, I am sure it will be there. So yopu are not connecting to disconnect mailbox,but instead to mailbox in DAG.
Dont worry about that disconnect mailbox , it will out of system after 5 days(Default).
And one more question: What was status of mailbox movment, was it cimpleted or completed with warning ?
Thanks,

Help setting up Open DNS with new airport extreme

I cant seem to get Open DNS to work with a new airport extreme. The status says I am not using Open DNS and its not filtering anything. I have followed the exact steps for set up listed on their website, checked the dns settings, cleared both caches and restarted the computer, modem and router with no success. I set the airport up in bridged mode, although I tried the other option under setup, but not sure what I was doing? I picked up this router because I wanted easy set up and the apple store assured me it would work with Open DNS. Oh, and I also downloaded the latest firmware update on the router. Can anyone help me with the settings or what else I need to check?

Sorry, I am not familiar with this product, so I checked online to pick up some information. Here I am referring to the information found here:
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/6096
I found that your device is mentioned as follows in the intro under Section 1 of this document:
The BellSouth supplied Westell 2100, 2200 and 6100 models (Models A90-210030-04, B90-220030-04, and B90-610030-06/C90-610030-06, respectively) share many features and functions.
Next, I am referring to the information under Section 2, under the heading of Standard Default Mode Connection (separate hub or switch present). Unless you have changed the configuration on the Westell, this is how your device is operating. In this mode, the Westell device is acting both as a modem and router in one unit.
So, an attached router (AirPort Extreme) must be configured as a switch to work correctly. That is what Bridge Mode is....the AirPort Extreme is operating as a switch when it is in Bridge Mode (which would be the correct setting to use when the Westell is set to its Standard Default Mode).
Any changes that you want to make regarding DNS settings would need to be made on the Westell device, since it is acting as the main router on your network.
In Bridge Mode, the AirPort Extreme simply passes that information through to its connected devices. You will not be able to make any DNS related changes on the AirPort Extreme since it receives that info from the Westel device. Some service providers force you to use their DNS servers, so you might want to check with Bell South or AT&T for more information in this regard.
If you want to be able to configure the AirPort Extreme as the main router on your network, and instruct it to use the DNS information that you want, you will need to refer to the section under the heading of Bridged Ethernet Mode ( separate router present).
Please note that the first item under this heading specifies that "This is the preferred configuration when using a separate external router..." (which would be the AirPort Extreme in your case)
So, it appears to me that this would be the way that you must reconfigure the Westell device to allow the AirPort Extreme to function as the "main" router on your network. In this type of setup, you will be able to enter the DNS information that you want to use under the setup for the AirPort Extreme and it will act as you instruct.
The AirPort Extreme would not be configured in Bridge Mode for this....it would be configured to "Share a public IP address".
The next item in the article specifies that you "Must use a PPPoE client on the Router." This means that the AirPort Extreme would be configured to Connect Using = PPPoE as follows:
AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Click the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = PPPoE
You would enter your user name (probably your email address), password, etc in this area. Leave the Service Area box completely blank. Set Connection to Always On, and Disconnect if Idle to Never
Click Update to save the new settings. Power off the Westell device after this and then restart it so that it will pick up the new information that you have programmed into the AirPort Extreme.
I want to stress that this is how I would try to configure the Westell and AirPort Extreme. But, as I said, have not used a Westell device, so I cannot say that this will work correctly for you.
It might be an excellent idea to contact Bell South or AT&T Support to ask for their opinion on this before you decide to change the configuration of the Westel device and the AirPort Extreme.
This type of thing can be intimidating for users, so you might elect to use the services of someone like the Geek Squad at Best Buy, or a similar service from a local computer firm. Perhaps the Apple store could help as well.
If it is not critical that you use Open DNS, you might want to simply leave things "as is", with the AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode.

How do you turn on home share on apple tv without remote
