Wireless and broadband dropout

Usual problem, have a Home Hub 2 that sometimes works at full wack then puts the breaks on and stops dead. When it stops all the computers connected wirelessly show a good signal level but no broadband content, most recently the stoppage has also affected the wired unit as well, no broadband!
This happens at random times of the day, we are on our second Home Hub and have scanned to find local networks, no one shows up within range on the same channel.
We have shut down all electrical devices that may cause interferance and just left the computers running but still get the same intermittency, we have also run one computer at a time.
BT India are clueless, all they want to do is constantly restart or repair the connections using Windows which is not much use since we have Macs on the system (must admit the Macs hold the connection better)
Any ideas anybody, or is it another duff hub

Multiple duff hubs are not exactly uncommon any chance of try a different router to prove the point
If any post helps tick the star box on the left
Just cause Im paranoid dont mean they are not out to get me

I need help to configure new wrt300n wireless and broadband router

Just purchased the wrt300n wireless-n-broadband router. The router is not being found. I have all the cat5 cables connected. I am running windows 2000 with a cable internet connection. There are 4 wired computers on the network I am trying to setup. The internet connection is great if I run it through the modem. I have run the cd-based wizard provided with the router a couple of times. No Luck! Please help!

you have a cable modem?
if so you need to reboot the cablemodem so it will see the mac address of the new device your adding to the network.
if you have ADSL we shall take it a stage further.

Endless broadband dropouts

I called BT on the morning of Tuesday 18th to report a fault on my Broadband line. I am experiencing intermittent broadband connection dropouts during the day. The fault still hasn't been resolved and I am now told they can't get an engineer out until Tuesday 25th. I have been told that the problem is at the exchange or with BT Retail Servers.
When the connection drops the router (Home Hub 2.0) still has the power light on, but all three of the other lights (broadband, wireless and hub phone) all go off. Currently we are connected for about 20 seconds out of every 5 minutes. This of course means the connection is entirely unusable.
I've had to chase everyday to see if they have resolved my issue. When I do receive a callback, it's merely to ask if the problem has resolved itself (which of course it has not as no action has been taken).
Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, could you advise me of how long it took to get the issue resolved? It has taken until today for them to book and send an engineer out but they can't get here any earlier than Tuesday morning which is a week after I notified them of the issue. I am extremely unhappy that it's going to take at least a week for BT to address this issue after I first reported it to them.
If there are any members of BT's customer service team using this forum who can help us to resolve this issue, I would like to hear from you.

Does it do it with the broadband line disconnected? If it does, then I cannot see it being an exchange fault.
I thought the home hub 2.0 would still have lights lit up, even if they indicated a fault. I may be wrong, but it sounds like the hub is continually re-booting.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

Wireless and network printing transcript for Meet the Experts

On March 16th, HP hosted its first online chat event on wireless and network printing. Below is a transcript of that session.
I am in the process of planning the next chat event. I would love to hear what topics would interest you, what day of the week and time is best for you, and if you think an hour is too long.
So, if you get a minute, please let me know.
Here's the transcript:
SiobhanF-HP: Welcome! Cameron, Craig, David, and Jim are ready to tackle your questions.
SiobhanF-HP: Just to remind you if you want to ask a question, you must be a member of the HP Support Forums. If you want to join, go here https://passport2.hp.com/hppcf/createuser.do
nc256: Do I need a wireless router to hook up my wireless printer?
CameronL-HP: No, but most people will want to do it this way. You can use a feature called an ad hoc connection to avoid using a router, but it is only covered under an older standard that is slower and less secure. Also, without something to route traffic between the local network and the internet, you cannot get an internet connection. Using a wireless router makes setting up a wireless network easier, and it will generally make the network work better too.
jest1: I've seen some hardware in stores for a "print server" hardware device that attaches to a network. Is this something that I need in order to run a printer over a network?
CraigB--HP: Not if you have a printer that has a network connection built in. Many models of HP computers are ready to be connected directly to your wired or wireless network.
katiepage: How can I print when I am using a VPN?
DavidH-HP: VPN connections generally hide the rest of your home network to increase the security of the VPN connection. A printer on the network isn’t a security threat but the VPN doesn’t know that. It just hides everything just to be sure. That means that when a VPN is active you need some way to connect to the printer other than your home network. Bluetooth, USB, and even printing to a thumb drive and plugging that into the printer are all ways of getting your print job to the printer that don’t go through your home network.
SiobhanF-HP: If you have specific product questions, the more information you give us the better we will be able to help you. Getting your exact model number; any error messages; a description of your wireless network including what kind of security you have, what wireless-devices are connected to your network, and your IP address will go a long way to helping us answer your question.
MelissaP: Why would I want a wireless printer?
CraigB--HP: The main advantage of a wireless printer is the ability to place the printer somewhere in your home or office even if this is not near your router or computer.
Deltan: What is the maximum distance I can have between my router and my printer?
CameronL-HP: It does depend on your environment. Without interference about 25 feet. Walls and floors and other objects can reduce this. The types of walls are important. For example, mirrors and outdoor walls will greatly reduce the indoor range.
jest1: Is there a preferred wireless router type or brand for wireless printing compatibility? We are using a Linksys 802.11g router in my home.
JimB-HP: In general, any wireless-router from a name brand manufacturer that has been Wi-Fi certified is compatible with our printers (look for the Wi-Fi logo). We use Linksys in our lab with great success.
nc256: Are there any digital cameras that can send directly to an HP wireless printer for photo printing?
DavidH-HP: Many printers support a feature called Pictbridge. If the camera and printer both supports this feature, the camera can be plugged directly into the printer to print photos. Or are you asking about printing over a network connection?
KevinW: I keep hearing that you shouldn’t use default settings for a network. Why?
CraigB--HP: There are three reasons not use default settings: First, wireless-routers do not have any wireless security enabled by default. Second, you will be using a common network name in which case you may connect accidentally to your neighbor’s network. Third, your wireless-router is accessible by inadvertent guests who may change the configuration of your wireless-router without your knowledge or use your internet connection without your permission.
Bodie08: I have an HP Lan attached printer and Windows XP on my home network. Is there a known setting (Firewall/port/other) or patch to address the issue of hpqtra08.exe hanging on Windows XP Shutdown? A number of us in the forum have identified this issue. Thanks!
DavidH-HP: This problem has been seen in the past but there were attempts to address it. Have you checked to see if there is a later release of software available on the web? (hp.com)
ZhuLee3: How old is wireless printing technology? I noticed all the experts have around 20 years of experience with it, was there wireless 20 years ago?
JimB-HP: Wireless printing first appeared with the introduction of the 802.11 standard in late 1990's. HP has been making wireless printers since 2003.
lpeterson123: What makes wireless so flaky at times?
CameronL-HP: There are lots of reasons. Wireless signals are affected by distance, walls, metal objects, and other wireless devices like cordless phones. However, most of the problems seem to be from how the network or how security software is configured, and these can also cause things to fail only occasionally or in certain situations. Having a good wireless connection between a PC and printer involves several hardware devices and lots of software made by different companies that all have to work together; if something is not quite right in any of these things then the whole solution looks flaky.
Bowman16: I use a Mac, are there any features that would not work if I was to set it up for wireless use
DavidH-HP: All the features will work on a Mac if you install the full HP software solution.
jest1: Thanks for the answer on the router question. The next question, then, is to ask what would be a recommended consumer-grade wireless-enabled printer (or series) just so I can start my research.
JimB-HP: Any of our Photosmart or Officejet wireless printers will work with Wi-Fi certified wireless-routers. Our price points really have more to do with how much printing you do. In general, our more expensive printers cost less per page than our less expensive models.
Bodie08: Why would I choose "spooling" on my PC over "direct connect”?
CraigB--HP: In general, spooling allows you to use your program sooner than printing directly.
ZhuLee3: Jim: What is it like to be an "HP Printing Expert"? What kind of stuff do you get to work on, on a day to day basis?
JimB-HP: I really like my job -- I've always been a radio enthusiast so working on 802.11 technology is really a dream job for me. I'm also fortunate to work with a great team here in Vancouver, WA. More importantly, I like designing equipment that people use in their everyday lives.
TEACHER1: Recently I changed routers, now I am unable to print wirelessly, even though the SES and wireless network light are steady on my Deskjet 6980 printer. What is the solution? Thanks.
DavidH-HP: The wireless light indicates that the radio is on but does not indicate that the printer is connected to the network. First check that the printer is connected to the network by printing a network configuration page from the printer.
AgentRed: I get my internet with a Verizon wireless broadband card. Someone told me that wouldn't work with a wireless printer. Is that true?
CameronL-HP: Our wireless printers use the 802.11 b, g or n standard which is not compatible with the wireless cellular standard. It would be like trying to connect to a wireless network using Bluetooth. They are different wireless technologies.
DavidH-HP: Regarding the Verizon card, it is true that you cannot connect the printer over the Verizon connection, but as long as your laptop has Wife you can print to the printer over WiFi at the same time that the Verizon connection is active. This should not be a problem.
jest1: Is there a "minimum" internet connection that is recommended for wireless printing? We live a bit far from the DSL CO so our connection is sometimes flaky. I would guess that incoming speed shouldn't affect my local wireless LAN but I want to ask it anyway
CameronL-HP: There are 2 parts to your home network. 1 is your wireless router which manages your local network equipment, then your network connection to the world wide web which your DSL provider gives you. The connection speed of your local network is not affected by your internet connection speed.
Bowman16: Are any HP printers 802.11n? I do not want to add an 802.11b,g to my network and cause it to slow down.
JimB-HP: Currently, our printers comply with the 802.11g standard. We are investigation the emerging 802.11n standard.
ZhuLee3: Will there be a transcript of all the questions and answers from this chat available for viewing after the session? I think I missed some questions at the start.
SiobhanF-HP: The chat event begins when you joined. Sorry that you can't see what was said before you joined. I hope to have transcript posted tomorrow or on Wednesday at the latest.
nc256: Where is the future of printers headed? Does HP have any interesting plans with printing technology? And what’s your opinion on whether or not color laser printing will ever approachthe photo realism of ink jet color?
JimB-HP: The future of HP printing will be characterized by wireless connectivity to not only computers but to mobile internet devices. In fact, as mobile devices become smaller (think phone or netbooks), the need to print from your mobile device might become more relevant.
jest1: Am I able to print from my iphone to a wireless printer?
CraigB--HP: You can print photos from your iPhone to HP wireless printers and it works great in my experience. Go to http://www.hp.com/go/iprintphoto to get the details.
TEACHER1: Thank you. I printed a page. It shows that wireless is disconnected.
DavidH-HP: Then you just need to input the wireless settings from your new router into the printer. If your printer does not let you input the settings from the front panel, you can use the CD that came with the printer or downloaded from hp.com to configure the printer again ( look for the option to "add a device" ).
ZhuLee3: Question about security... if I get a wireless printer, what’s to prevent other people within range of my printer, from adding it and printing documents? How is this configured on the actual printer?
JimB-HP: The simplest way to secure your printer is to enable WPA-PSK security for your wireless network and to use a security pass-phrase that is at least 12 characters long. This configuration is very safe from intruders for the foreseeable future.
CameronL-HP: It' is also a good idea to use a unique network name, also called an SSID.
carolj: I have a photosmart C7180 and I have it hooked up to my laptop (windows vista) when the setup completed the printer was put in networking instead of printers and I cannot access it or move it out of there. What do you suggest?
CraigB--HP: You might need to uninstall and reinstall. Before doing this, make sure your get the latest driver from the HP support at: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=1153754&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us This is also where you can get a copy of the instruction book.
wizll: Hi, I haven't done much research in wireless printing, but I'm interested as I currently have my printer set up the old fashioned way where it's connected to a networked PC, but if the PC is off I can no longer print, which is obviously inconvenient. Do hp wireless printers have a web gui you can connect to once it's on the home network, or is it simply all done from the printer's interface. I've seen some old wired network printers that only use the printer's ui and that seems like a clunky use.
DavidH-HP: Yes, the HP printers which have networking built-in have what we call an "embedded" web server which allow you to configure settings, check status, and have many other features; on some models you can even scan using the embedded web server.
nc256: Jim: Will color laser printing ever reach ink jet quality for photos?
JimB-HP: While never is a long time, inkjet printers will, for the near future, output higher quality photos.
katiepage: If I'm at home, connected to my office network via VPN, can I access my office networked printers?
CraigB--HP: Yes, when you are connected to the office VPN, you can print to your office printers. However, you will not be able to print to your home networked printers while you are connected to the VPN.
jest1: If a friend comes over to my house with their laptop and needs to print something, are they able to do this just by authenticating with my wireless LAN (assuming I have a wireless printer set up)?
CraigB--HP: In addition to authenticating to your network, you friend will also need to install the printer driver for your printer.
jpszambelan: Is there a wireless USB device of some kind I can connect to my printer if there is no network connection already built in?
JimB-HP: HP sells an accessory that adds Wi-Fi capability to your USB printer (see http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/printer/inkjet/wireless/4/accessories/Q6236A%2523A2L) Also, many higher-end wireless-routers allows USB printers to be connected to them to allow sharing of the printer from the network. Note that this solution often limits you to just printing and not scanning from the network.
rockwoodchev: It seems that my computer can find my printer, but my printer can't find the computer, so that "Scan to computer" won't work. What do I need to do in order to fix that?
DavidH-HP: This can be blocked by security software running on the PC (such as a personal firewall). Make sure that your firewall is configured to allow communication on your local network. You can also unblock specific ports, but the easiest way is often just to allow communication on the local home network. The specific setting varies from firewall to firewall.
SiobhanF-HP: We are nearing the end of our chat session. We only have time for 3 more questions. If we did not get to your question, please post it on the Networking and Wireless board in the Printers and All-in-Ones forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board?board.id=Networking
SSPatrick: Is it possible to print wirelessly to the same HP printer using both a PC and a Mac?
JimB-HP: Yes -- I do this in my home. I have both Macs and PCs on my network without any trouble.
Bowman16: Any plans to do this again?
SiobhanF-HP: Yes we are.
ZhuLee3: Do all of the experts hang out on the HP community? Will we see you posting there after this?
DavidH-HP: Oh yes, whenever time permits. In addition to trying to help people, I learn things too.
JimB-HP: I'm known as Wi-Fi-Guy on the support forums. I hang out there often helping where I can. It helps me be a better designer.
CraigB--HP: I monitor the forums looking for problems to take back to the development lab for investigation. To date, I have only posted one reply.
CameronL-HP: I haven't been involved in the past but expect to be more involved in the future.
SiobhanF-HP: We only have time for one more question. If we did not get to your question, please post it on the Networking and Wireless board in the Printers and All-in-Ones forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board?board.id=Networking
ZhuLee3: Thanks for setting this up!
SiobhanF-HP: The transcript will be posted on http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board?board.id=Networking
TEACHER1: Thank you all for conducting this session !!!!
jest1: Is there an OS limitation to print wirelessly?
JimB-HP: All the OS versions supported by the printer as supported wirelessly. In general, we are compatible with Macs, Windows and Linux.
SiobhanF-HP: We are ending the chat event. Thank you for coming. We hope you found it worthwhile. I will be posting a transcript of the event in the Networking and Wireless board in the Printers and All-in-Ones forum. We will be hosting future Meet the Experts chat sessions on a variety of topics, so please tell us what you thought of the event and how it could be improved. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Feedback&thread.id=525

How to set up the airport express with a linksys wireless-g broadband router

I need to know if and how to set up an airport express to use to extend a home wi-fi network. I have AT&T service with a 2WIRE modem. I am using a Linksys wireless-G broadband router. I also have the new Macbook Air notebook. The airport express keeps giving me a blinking amber light even when the ethernet cable (from the modem) connected. Please let me know how to set up an extended wifi network using this system. Any help would be appreciated.

If that is all that is done, the Express would not provide more wireless coverage. Instead, it would duplicate the coverage provided by the Linksys and there would be two WiFi systems covering approximately the same area. As per my above comment, one Express connects via Ethernet to the Linksys. The second Express provides the extension.
You must have misunderstood what I was saying.
Linksys is providing a wireless network.
The Express is connected to one of the LAN ports on the Linksys router using a long Ethernet cable (or Ethernet powerline adapters)
The Express is located on the other side of the house, for example.
The Express is configured to create a wireless network using the same wireless network name, security and password as the Linksys router
The Express is configured in Bridge Mode
This has worked quite well for me for years. Computers "switch" from one wireless access point to another smoothly and automatically while they move around the house.
Although this is an "extended" network, it is technically known as a "roaming" network.
This is what I was suggesting as a possible alternative without having to buy more hardware.

Phone line and broadband dropping

I have asked this question before why does my line keep dropping about once a week both my phone and broadband lights goes off then on again a few seconds later. Does my router need cooling down cannot clean inside it as I have had it for a few years. This only seems to happen during the summer months ie June- August it all started when my contract was up for renewal no it is up for renewal May. Tried ringing up the help the other day when I could not connect, half an hour later after trying the BT Voyager one and still not connect was told they would send a new hub, so I switched of my router and restarted it 10 minutes later and was able to connect. So now I have a new hub which I have not used.
So why does the line drop every few days do I need to pay £190 for an engineeer to give me a new extension or what as I did the extension and connection myself inclusing the box . I have never had an engineer in the house they have been outside as I have the pole outside my window, so can anyone help?

You need to access your Home Hub directly, it does not matter about the Belkin router as its only acting as an additional wireless access point.
Go to http://192.168.1.254/. This will show your home hub DSL connection.
I have the original home hub and http://192.168.1.254/cgi/b/dsl/dt/?ce=1&be=1&l0=6&l1=2 takes me to the page giving all of the DSL information. This is probably different if you have a new home hub, you may have to look through the nenue options.
What you are looking for is the downstream S/N ratio, it is usually between 6 and 20 db. The lower it is, the more likely your connection will disconnect.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

Wireless B Broadband Router (BEFW11S4) connects for only about 5 mins at a time

I have Wireless B Broadband Router (BEFW11S4). Worked fine for about 2 years. I've had a HP Pavilion for about a year now using the wireless and also have a desktop I use on it (wired). About a month ago the speed seemed to be lagging a little and the router was never secured with a password, so I changed that and added a password. Ever since then the laptop will not stay connected for more than about 5 mins. I have gone back and removed the password protect feature, but still have the problem. It has a problem connecting to the router. The signal bars always seem to be full, but still can't connect. I've tryed reseting the router, unpluging everything, etc and can't get it to have a steady connection like before. Sometimes I can connect to the internet even when it says "Not connected" in the wireless network connection 2 screen. I've tried to search and find a similar problem, but was surprised to not be able to find one. Any insight will help.
Thanks,
Lman

Thanks for the suggestions Wizzard. Although I did not know what all that stuff does, it didn't seem to help. I didn't not upgrade the firmware because there didn't seem to be any upgrades since 2003, before I bought it. Any other suggestions from anybody? Could anybody make an educated guess to whether it's the router or the laptop?
Thanks,
Lman

BEFW11S4 - Wireless-B Broadband Router questions

I have the BEFW11S4 - Wireless-B Broadband Router. Did it come with mac software originally? If so, is it possible to get the mac software from your company? Secondly, is there a way to disable the wireless signal on it and use it as a wired router? How would I do this? Would I do it in the network system preferences on my mac or would I need the software that came with the router originally?

Hi…
Linksys software CD does not operate on MAC OS. But you can still use the router with MAC. To configure the router with MAC OS connect the MAC to any of the Ethernet port of the linksys router. Login into the router by typing http://192.168.1.1 ( Default IP ) in the address bar of the IE. Leave the Username field blank and type admin as password (If you have not changed the router password.) Using the user interface you can also disable the wireless function of the router.

BEFW11S4 Wireless-B Broadband Router Issues

I have been having issues with my router lately. It is a Linksys BEFW11S4 - Wireless-B Broadband Router. It has the latest firmware and everything which was from like, April of 2005 since this is an older router model. I've had it for about 3 years now and have had no problems until this past week. I have Verizon DSL. Anyway, my network connection seems to fail every so often at least 6 times a day at random times. I use WEP security encryption and everything. Every time it fails, I have to reset the router and go into administrator configurations and retype the password then it starts working again. But it is annoying since I just lose connection for no reason when I'm in the middle of something. Even when it fails, it does not indicate that I lost connection or that my connection is weak. It says that the signal is still excellent all the time even when it stopped working and the Internet light is still on. Odd. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong or is it time for me to buy a Wireless-G router instead and hope that fixes the problem? Again, I have had no issues with the router and it has been working great for nearly 3 years until this past week and I did nothing to mess with it. Maybe is it just that the hardware is worn-out? I dunno, I just want this problem solved.

Bad DMZ + Portscan = Reboot. I’ve noticed that a portscan will cause the router to reboot if you have a bad DMZ host specified in the DMZ settings. The “Dummy DMZ” is a known method for stealthing Linksys routers, but apparently doesn’t work due to this problem. This problem has been confirmed on the DSLReports discussion board as a problem thats been around for a while, not just in 1.39.2. I’ve found that even with a valid DMZ host, a portscan will sill hose the router. If you turn on the “daignostic logging” (see hidden features section), you can see log entries that say [HH:MMS] Free=xxx, where xxx is getting smaller and smaller until it resets. (Note: this happened with default filtering settings, no spi, block wan, etc)
UDP Traffic Can Cause Reboot. In much the same way as the DMZ problem, sending large amounts of UDP traffic can hose the wireless interface. I used QCheck to send 1mBit of information in 10 seconds from a desktop (wired) to a laptop (wireless). You can see the [HH:MMS] Free=xxx decline. When it gets to 0, the wireless interface activity light goes solid and the router locks. This bug hasn’t been confirmed yet on any message board or newsgroup. (Note: this happened with default filtering settings, no spi, block wan, etc)
hmmm..just curious what model number are you referring to? Is it BEFW11S4 ver 1 or 2???
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift.

Extend range of BEFW11S4 Wireless-B broadband router

Hello,
I curently have a linksys wireless-B broadband router (BEFW11S4) and would like to extend it's range, which device should I buy to accomplish this? I guess I could buy a linksys wireless-G access point (WAP54G), but I'm not sure it will work with an wireless-B router (BEFW11S4). Anyone, any ideas?
thanks in advance,
Joeri Kumbruck

yes.... wap54g doesn't work with a wireless - b router.. it will work wirelessly only with another wap54g or wrt54g....even wap11 might not help you..
if you have befw11s4 v 4...then you can try setting up a range expander with it...however , make sure that both the devices have the latest firmware.....

Can AirPort Express connect a wireless and a non-wireless at the same time

Hello everyone,
I have both a PowerBook G4 with wireless card, and a 17 inch iMac G4. Is there a way to connect both of them to the internet using the airport express?? can the PB access via wireless and the iMac via the usb port perhaps?? right now I connect the non-wireless directly to the broadband modem using ethernet.any pointers will be really appreciated!!
Thanks

If you have a single Airport Express then the answer is no.
The USB port is for printing only.

Broadband Dropouts

Hi
I keep having broadband dropouts. The same problem occurred a few months ago but BT did something and it stabilised for a few months. I then had to disconnect the router for some rewiring and the disconnects started again. It drops out at least once a day, often changing the IP address which causes problems with my Vodafone sure signal. The line details are below
Upstream Downstream
Current Rate (Kbps) 1116 7276
Max Rate (Kbps) 1116 7696
SNR Margin (dB) 6.5 4.9
Line Attenuation (dB) 19 40.8
Errors (Pkts) 0 0
Thanks

I'm copying this from another thread because it seems relevant. For several weeks I have experienced BB drop-outs that keep my IP Profile at rock bottom. DSL dropped 0356 last night, see HH4 WAN events log below, and stayed down. At 0857 I picked up the telephone to check that the landline was still connected - yes, there was a dial tone - and replaced it, at which point DSL immediately came up and HH re-connected. Some clue here surely? Perhaps someone who understands BT exchanges could comment? (I don't understand the significance of the comment in a previous post that "dropouts are not a BT thing")

Linksys wireless N broadband router getting disconnected frequently

I have a linksys wireless N broadband router which is connected to 3560 switch. My problem is that my linksys keep on disconnecting but my campus network is working nicely. But hosts which are connected to linksys are not getting access properly when i logged into the linkys and i do ip release and renew it gets connected and after some time its disconnected again i logged into the linkys and again i do ip release and renew then its get connected again. I have been doing same to get internet access.
Linkys gets ip through our DHCP server.
I have reset the Linksys as well but still facing the same problem.
Note-Our campus network is working fine only problem is with linkys.
Thanks in Advance
