Wired connecting through a wireless router

I have a WRT54GS (version 7) wireless router with speedboost. My computer is an HP Pavillion laptop. I get my internet access through Cox Cable and they provided me with a Motorola SB5101 Surfboard cable modem.
When I set up my router everything seems to work fine. I can disconnect the cable and get perfect wireless access to the internet. There are times that I do not want to work wirelessly. When I connect the cable to any of the ports on the back of the router and disable my wireless connection, I am unable to get internet access at all.
I have tried restarting the computer, restarting the router, restarting the modem, and setting up the modem with a different computer and I still cannot get access. I have spent hours on the phone with Linksys trying different things. I have replaced the router twice and they all do the same thing.
Has anyone else had this problem and did you get it resolved? Is it possible there is a conflice between the modem and the router? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi
ofcourse do check for wireless switch on ur laptop .
and one more thing
quite strange though make sure , you are connecting wirelessly to your network only ??(not to ur neighbours unsecured networks , sighs !)
your router may not set up properly , and you are kool as u hooked up to ur neighbours network.(now how kool is dat !)
from your words i doubt that this is the reason behind the issue.
as i recieved this kind of situation as far as 30+ a month . (sighs!)

My ipad nor my iphone will connect to the wireless router, and i have no internet connection

In my previous place I had all my Mac Book, iphone and iPad connected through the wireless router. Now in my new place my macbook is connecting occasionally, and my iphone and ipad are not connecting at all, although in "settings" it looks that they are, but when I open the browser it says "safari cannot open page because it is not connected to the internet" What is wrong?

Connecting Wired Computers to N750 Wireless Router

I replaced my old router with the N750 / EA3500 wireless router. Connecting the laptops, tablets and cell phones was a breeze. However, I have an issue I can't figure out. I had three desktop computers connected to my old wireless router. I would like to connect the same three computers to the N750. I figured it would be as easy as connecting in the ethernet cable into one of the 4 slots on the back of the N750. I did that - my computer says the cable is disconnected.
What do I do now? There was no Install CD in the box with the N750. I tried to see what would happen if I tried to set up a new network - but it is asking me to use the Modem Set Up CD or use the Windows XP setup up disk - I do not have either one.
How do I get these computers connected to the wireless router? It is important because one of the computers is our "banking" computer and we do all of our bill paying on it. If it is not connected to the internet - we can't pay the bills.
One last thing - I am not a computer expert - so any assistance would need to be basic enough for me to understand or execute.
Thank you for your help.

a couple of things to look at. First off, when you plug the cable in you should see lights come on on both the router and the pc on the port you connect to. Do you see that happening? if not try another cable. That has to happen before anything else will work. You should be connecting them to the LAN ports and I assume you have a cable already connected from the WAN port to your modem. start there and post back the results.

How to connect a E1200 wireless router to a machine tool network for wireless communications

Hello all, I am new to the forum, hope someone can help me out. I am wanting to connect my E1200 wireless router to a machine tool in our factory that has programmable controllers and is connected to the machine components via ethernet connections. This is so we can troubleshoot the machine without having a wired laptop. We have several ethernet switches on the machine and a range of IP addresses say from 192.16.1.1 through 192.16.1.150, and 192.16.17.1 through 192.16.17.150, all of the addresses are not used but random addresses in the range. I would like to be able to connect my E1200 to either one of the networks without having to make a change in the router setup. I can make it work on either network but when I switch my cable to the other network it has to be reconfigured. I am currently connecting my data cable to a ethernet port on the router and changing my router address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.16.1.1 and selecting a range of 150 so it will assign numbers as needed. This works great until I change to the other network and I have to change my router address to 192.16.17.1, I know this can be done on some routers because the technicians from the machine builder use them when working on the machines. thanks

On the basic setup tab make the changes shown below:
This basically make the router disappear off the existing networks and turns it into a wireless AP.
Then when you set your laptop's wireless adapter to whatever IP network you want to connect to.
If you need to connect to your router again change the laptop's adapter IP to something like 192.168.200.2
Keep in mind nothing ever gets plugged into the Internet Port on the router.
What I do with these manufacturing machine's is put them on the company network with static IP's. Then so operators can transfer programs and view drawings I place ELO touchscreens at each location. For the Laser cutter operators that do nesting they have a desktop workstation for the CAD software and put the nests on a network share or direct to the laser cutters.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

Will a desktop connected to a wireless router via network cable be able to use a wireless printer?

My computer is a Dell runing XP home edition. This computer is connected via a network cable to the wireless router.
My deskjet 4580 printer is connected to the wireless router network and printing and scanning via wireless network with a laptop that is connected to the network wireless.
Now I want to print and scan using the desktop computer also. Should I install the wireless driver for the printer? Do I need to connect the printer with USB cable with my desktop computer?
Please help. I do not want to disturb the laptop that can print and scan wirelessly with the printer.
Thanks.

if the printer is connected to the router wired, then the router is the hub, so you should just need to install the driver for the printer in the machine that is not working.
If you install the full feature driver to the printer on the computer you want to print via wired to the router to the printer that should work. Run this too:

G5 with Airport Extreme connecting to Linksys wireless router

OK. I just bought a G5 and I added an Airport Extreme card (I'm a switcher, new to Mac's). I have cable internet connection and if I connect the Cable Modem directly the connection to the Internet is great. I cannot connect through the Linksys router at all. The switch component does not work right, nor do the wireless connection. My Windows PC's work fine, however.
Is there a trick to configuring this wireless connection on the Mac? Is the e2 device the Airport Extreme card?
Any information on this would be helpful.
Thanks one and all.

Thanks for the reply, Duane.
While I am having trouble with the G5, the PC's all seem to connect just fine without the need to restart the cable modem. I should clarify my statement: With the line from the modem directly attached to the hard ethernet connection on the Mac (bypassing the router) the connection to the Internet is great. If I connect through the Linksys router from the same e0 device, it fails to connect. Also, if I turn off all security on the router and try to connect wirelessly, the Mac cannot connect. The system profiler shows the wireless adapter, 802.11g device, and it seems to be running as far as I can tell.

Connecting to a wireless router

I have an older wireless router, the DLink DI-714P+ connected to a DSL modem, and would like my Satellite Pro L300D's wireless LAN to connect through it to the Internet. I do not see any instructions how to use the Atheros 802.11b/g wireless LAN on the laptop.
My router does have settings for wireless LAN and supports the 802.11b wireless network. The D-Link settings for the wireless access point are network ID(SSID), set to 'default', channel, set to '6', and security, set to 'None' with options for 'WEP','802.1','WPA-PSK', and 'WPA". There is also a page of wireless performance settings I can set in the D714P+ setup.
Any help hooking up my laptop to my wireless router so that it can access the Internet through the router would be most welcome. Thanks !
Solved!

Hi,
Satellite Pro L300D series is wifi capable . Here are the things that you need to do to connect to a wireless router.
. Check if Wireless Switch is on ( for this system the on / off switch is located infront of the system aligned to the Audio jack )
. Click Start then go to Connect to
. Look for the name of your Router and Double click it.
Once it says connected. Try opening up Internet Explorer.
That should help you out connect to your router

Linksys wireless router connected to BT wireless router

My HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 won't connect to my wireless router

This is bizarre. I have had my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 for about 6 months. It has generally worked fine, and we have used it wirelessly only. But now it refuses to connect to the router. It can FIND the router, and it can find other networks in the area, but it won't connect to the router. I ran the Wireless Network Test, and the results say:
Wireless On - Pass // Wireless Working - Pass //
Network Name (SSID) found - Pass // Wireless Networks Detected - 9
Printer Settings Consistent with Wireless Router Settings - Pass / No Filtering - FAIL //
So it recommends solution as follows: "1 If MAC Address filtering is enabled, and you would like to keep it enabled, you must add the Mac address of your printer to the list of permitted devices for your router before continuing."
Except, guess what, I don't have MAC Address filtering enabled. I wouldn't know how to do that, much less check for it.
Also, before today, this was never a problem. HELP!
Thanks....
If you are interested, here's more detail and background.
Before today, the only problem we have had is that frequently our Apple laptop (OS X 10.6) has trouble connecting to the printer. This has been odd because the printer is connected to the network, and so is the laptop, but the laptop can't find the printer - it thinks the printer is "offline" (even though it's not). Usually, if I wait a while, it will find the printer, and it will resolve itself work fine. If not, we sometimes have found that it can fix itself if you restart the laptop -- restarting the printer does not make a difference. In fact, I did exactly that today, and it resolved itself. And I printed. Fine, right?
But then I wanted to do more printing, and the problem of the laptop not finding the printer came up again, so I decided to really "get to the bottom of this." I don't remember exactly what I did, but somehow I was persuaded by the online help, that the correct solution would be to go into my System Preferences / Print and Fax, and click on the "-", which de-installs the printer, with the idea of re-installing the printer. But then when I tried to re-install the printer, it could not find the printer. Ugh! Wierdly, it found an 8600 Scanner, but not an 8600 printers. After installing and de-installing the 8600 scanner a few times, I eventually deinstalled everything, and I decided to start from scratch. I got my HP disk, and installed all the software again from the beginning (even though it was already there), and then it looked for my printer, but couldn't find it. So then I got a USB cord, and plugged that in.
So, now I have a situation where I do have a working printer via the USB cord, but no wireless connection at all. In particular, since the Office Jet Pro 8600 won't connect to the router, I don't know what else to do. My Apple MacBook pro is 2 feet away from the printer, and it is connected to the router just fine (as is my blackberry), and I have never before had a problem connecting to the wireless router by the printer.
Any suggestions?

There are two things that can trip the mac filtering test to fail: actual MAC address filtering setup (sounds like this is not the case) and using wireless channel 6 or automatic for wireless channel in the wireless network settings (in the router). Since it does show failed for MAC filtering and you do not use this option, try changing the wireless channel in the router to 1 or 11. Those two channels provide the best compatibility with printers due to less interference. Almost everything defaults to auto or 6 for the channel and this causes a lot of interference. This change should not affect anything at all. To do this, you may need to contact the router manufacturer as the process differs from router to router.
What brand and model is the router?
Has anything in the network settings changed at all?
What version is the Mac OS X? There may be additional steps to take as it sounds like there are two separate issues involved and this could be revisited later.

Well, you could install the drivers to the wireless printer in you other computers.

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I cannot connect to my wireless router

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I cannot connect to my wireless router. I have 2 wireless networks in my home. One is the primary whuch all of my devices connect to. The other is for backup only. I cannot connect to the primary with my iMac but have no trouble with any of the other devices which include iphones and ipads.phones and iPads. I can however connect to the backup without a problem. 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?

Try this, it's for information.
In Finder, open the Go menu, press and hold the option key, 'Library' will appear on the menu, click and scroll to Application Support, open the folder and scroll to 'AddressBook-v22.abcddb'. Click on the file and press Command-I. Towards the bottom you'll see Permissions, tell me what they are please.

I just purchased an Apple TV. I have a pc running windows 7. It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router. I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network

I just purchased an Apple TV. I have a pc running windows 7. It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router. I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network so the Apple TV can do home share.

I don't mean to be facetious but sometimes the simplest things are overlooked. To connect to your library you have to have the computer where the iTunes library is located running and with iTunes open. It also needs to be on the same network. My network is dual band and works with either stream but a friend of mine does not. He has to set the computer and the Apple TV to the same band. Hope this helps.

Here's my dilemma...my iPhone will connect to my wireless router in the room where the router is located but won't outside if the room ie my living room for example...any suggestions??

Here's my dilemma...my iPhone 4 will connect to the wireless router as long as I am in the room where the router is located but won't if I'm in a different room...any suggestions?

iPhone 4 does not support 5 GHz
In that case I would manually change the channel the 2.4 GHz is broadcasting.

Satellite Pro L300-1B9 cannot connect to my Wireless router

Hi!
I have activated the wireless nw on SAT L300 PRO 1B9 - but with many fight...
First I needed to find the switch to enable (I never though that it have... :-) ).
Then I needed to deinstall Atheros in Windows, and set the flags on (enable) in the Windows driver.
But in both Linux and Windows I couldn't connect to my Wireless router.
My luck was that some of my neightbours have security-disabled, open wireless network, what I could map to test.
The test was succecfully with that network, but my wireless router was unreachable.
From other machine I could reach it.
The result was:
If I set the router to broadcast the SSID, both OSs (Ubuntu + Windows) can use wireless network.
But if I disable the broadcasting (to protect my router), the network driver cannot use my router, it does not matter I pre-set the SSID...
A router is WRT54G, and it is working with other computers if I hide the SSID, but with SAT L300 Pro cannot connect (with this option).
Do anybody knows why? What I need to do to I could hide the SSID from the bad guys?
Thanks for any help!

dd

I dont know which Windows OS do you use but if you use original Vista, I think, right WLAN driver is part of the package. So WLAN card must be installed properly.
It is not easy to say what is wrong there but if the notebook can see and detect your WLAN network on notebooks side everything must be OK. Try to restart your router and check all settings.
In my opinion there is some problem with WLAN settings.
