Wireless Connection Help re WRT54G router

I was able to wire my desktop pc easily to the router and have internet access (through Comcast). However, I can't seem to connect my laptop wirelessly. Don't have a clue what I am doing wrong. Any instructions - suggestions would help.

Will the iPad Mini connect to LinkSys WRT54G Router

Will the iPad Mini connect Via WiFi to a LinkSys Wireless G Braodband Router?
The model is WRT54G V5, SN CDFBOE865514 and Firmware is the latest 1.02.8 dated 5 Oct 2009
My wife's iPad 2 connects to it well but we have been unable to connect the new iPad Mini to it.
I have read in some of your notes that the Mini will only connect to Firmware 1.02.8n.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Unable to obtain ip with wireless connection to Netgear WGR614 router

Pardon my ignorance, I'm relatively new to the Mac world.
I recently purchased an iMac and at the same time purchased a Netgear wireless router.
When hardwired to the Netgear, I have no issues. I tried connecting via wireless, and keep getting the self-assigned ip address. My wireless network is detected and the Airport card connects...full strength. I also have a laptop running windowsXP, and it connects with no issues.
I have tried some of the suggestions mentioned in the discussions. Power cycled the Netgear. Changed channels...from 11 to 10. That didn't help so I went back to channel 11. I have security disabled...trying to keep the configuration as simple as possible until I can get this working.
If anyone can share some thoughts/ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
-Tim

I had to go into /Library/Preferences and dragged SystemConfiguration to my desktop. I restarted the iMac.
After it booted up, I went into System Preferences => Network; created a new Location and used the "Assist Me" tab at the bottom. It walked me through setting up the Airport again and this time it worked.
For anyone that does this, once you confirm your wireless connection is working, take the SystemConfiguration on the desktop and drag it to the Trash.

PS3 80GB Wireless Connection Help

We are struggling to get our 80GB PS3 to wirelessly connect to our Wireless-G Router.
It is set up using a WPA Security. Some one please help! We have done custom set up and put in our IP addresses on our on and we have done easy! The only way we can think of to make it easier is to take the security code off and have an unsecured network, and I do not want to do that.
Please help before I break my ps3 or my router LOL

I reset my linksys router and all of a sudden the ps3 is connected to the internet. I dont know what it did, but it works!!!

Wireless connection lost between my router and printer (hp officejet 4620)

My hp officejet 4620 printer has been working fine but now the wireless connection has been lost and I can't get the wireless connection back. The blue light for the wifi flashes blue. I can't get the connection back between the router and the printer because my wifi is actually working fine with my laptop. Any suggestions about what i can do to get the connection back so I can print again?
Is it something I need to do on the printer screen or laptop to fix the problem?

Have you powered off everything and power up again? Power off printer and router. Power on router and wait 2 mins. Power up printer and see if it connects to your SSID.
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos Thumbs Up to the right in the post.

WRT54GL - just today it won't keep wired/wireless connections HELP Please

This router is less that a year old and just today it won't keep wired/wireless connections unless I reset the router and sometimes within 5 mins of a reset, it's out again. I can go into the Admin/Status page of the router and DCHP release/renew the IP from Cox and that works the same as a reset of the modem.
Can anyone give me an idea what this could be? Cox looked at the Motorola modem and saw that it was connected for 3 hrs (3 hrs prior I rebooted the modem thinking that was my issue) and they didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
I have the latest firmware installed.
Message Edited by u43a on 05-25-200704:38 PM

Are you using any peer-to-peer (P2P) software? If so, this is a known cause for router slow downs and disconnections. Go into the P2P software, and reduce the number of connections that the software can make.

Lost wireless connection on a wrt110 router!

Oh HELPPPPP! I lost my wireless connection last week, it just vanished! Called Dell they couldn't figure it out, I worked on it I can't figure it out. It was there then it was just gone!! All drivers are updated, but I keep getting the error message " the network adapter intel(r) wifi link 4965agn is experiencing driver or hardware related issues" ... This is driving me nuts, any suggestions???

Well, this problem is not related with your Linksys router. It is driver error on your computer. I would suggest you check the Device Manager in WIndows to see if your wireless adapter in your computer was installed properly. If it shows a yellow triangle in the device manager you have to reinstall the driver.

Connection problems with WRT54G Router PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hello all,
Im having a huge issue and im hoping that someone can help me. Awhile ago i changed what i believe to be my router settings using 192.168.1.1 and i believe i added WEP secuirty. I changed my password i know that much. Anyway my problem is this - When i try connecting a router to my computer, i cannot access the internet OR the 192.168.1.1 setup. I just get a yellow caution sign on my wireless settings (running Windows 7), but when i connect my cable modem (Comcast) to my computer, i can access the internet. I have reset both the router and my cable modem MANY times (hard resets) and STILL cannot get the setup page for the router. I have TWO WRT54G rourters and BOTH do the same thing when connected to my desktop , yet BOTH work fine on an old machine running XP, so it is something i did with this computer. Can someone please help me solve this issue? any hlep would be appreciated as i am stumped and do not know how to fix this and cannot use WI-FI or my Xbox 360 until i can fix this..Thanks.

Check the IP address of your computer and see if it's in range with the router's IP.

RE: Network Connect of a WMP100N Wireless card Thru a WRT54G Router

Well, I disabled the Zonealarm personal firewall. No change in connectivity. The card acquires the router, has super signal strength, and no internet. I've even tried re-doing the connection profile. I have noticed a minor difference in security settings. The router is configured WPA with PSK using TKIP + AES. The card gives me the option of either TKIP or AES (not the plus) Probably doesn't matter since the card only acquires the router when TKIP is chosen. I have also noticed when I tried using the rightclick repair option that windows lists encryption as disabled. If the card security settings match that of the router and access is established, isn't encryption enabled? Re-enabled the wired card and immediately established and internet connection. Am lost as to why I can't get internet thru the wireless card. There is an IP address and standard subnet mask. There just is a blank gateway, DNS and etc.

Well, I may have made a mistake. I spent some time on Live Chat with no real success. After all that, I decided to update firmware for the router. Here's where I may have goofed. Rather than use the old way to update, I used the linksys upgrade application. It did upgrade the router. Unfortunately, it seems to have corrupted my OS installation. I can't get XP (SP2) to properly shutdown. It goes partway thru the process, then I hear a click, the fans start whirring and it reboots. I end up having to push and hold the power button for shut off. Not a good solution. Any ideas? I am considering uninstalling the wireless card and doing a system restore pre-card. (BTW, the wireless card worked after the firmware update (although the connection does drop fairly often without any other 2.4 competing devices)

MacBook Wireless Connection on a 2Wire Router

Hi everyone,
I just a new MacBook that I'm trying to get connected to the internet with my 2Wire Homeportal 1000SW. It's an older router that I've had for about 3 years.
I'm able to connect directly with an ethernet cable, but it's not working wireless. The MacBook is able to pick up the signal, but it won't authorize the password I'm putting in. My current authorization method is WEP using the default 10-digit code from the bottom of the portal. I've checked the password over and over again and I'm super frustrated that this is not working.
I even went ahead and tried opening up my connection, so that it didn't require a password. Still no luck.
Wireless is working fine with two Dell laptops. I also had a guest with a MacBook Pro that's about 1.5 years old, and that worked fine as well.
Any ideas? Is this a problem with the Mac or with my router?
Thanks for any help!

Well I be.
Exact same for me too right down to the ethernet cable and side by side Dell runnning.
Its the $ all right.
Thank you for remembering and answering and posting.
Brand new refurb MacBook arrived this am and is up and running wirelessly already thanks to you. Updating software as we speak. Looks brand new. No scratches or anything. Wife is happy. The World is good.

Getting wireless connection at home-no router

This may be a stupid question but I have an iBook G4 with airport card that I take with me to the lake cabin to stay connected to internet. We have a secure connection there. I brought the iBook home to my home and was going to connect to my ethernet cable and noticed that I have an Airport connection: Belkin_N1_Wireless_4B4095. I have no router at my house and was wondering where in the world is the source for this connection-I have never set up and wireless network at home.
Thanks,
Glen

Your neighbor likely has a Belkin wireless router and your iBook is picking up the signal.
If you can get an Internet connection, and you do not have the Ethernet cable plugged into the iBook, then your neighbor did not password protect his wireless network.

The specifications for your unit clearly indicate it is not wifi enabled. What gave you the impression it's wireless?

Qosmio G20 - Wireless Connection using Thomson 580 Router

Hi,
I am having trouble using the above Wireless router with my laptop. It all works fine with the 'wire' connected (i.e. the ethernet cable) but not without (using the cable defeats the object of having a wirleless router!) However when I remove the cable it does not recognise a connection - any ideas ? (warning: I'm abit of a novice so please treat me gently i.e. not too technical !) In case it is relevant I am in the UK using AOL (but I have checked compatibility with them and they have said the problem lies with my laptop or the router)
Thanks,
Elijah

Hi
Firstly the WLan configuration is very complex and depends on different settings.
The Qosmio G20 works with both WLan standards: 802.11b and 802.11g.
The g standard is faster.
However, its very important to configure the WLan router. Usually you should receive the router manual together with the router. Check the router installation procedure and the WLan options.
On the unit the Wlan card should be enabled. Check the hardware switch on the notebook side and also the key combination FN+F8.
If you use the Windows to configure the Wlan you should enable the option in the WLan properties under Wireless Networks tab.
If you use the WEP encryption you should configure this. If the MAC address filtering is enabled on the router you have to insert the WLan card MAC address in the router table.
But all this information you should find in the router manual. Check it!!!
Good luck

Ichat won't work when connected to links WRT54GS ROUTER

does anybody know why ichat wont work behind linkswireless router (WRT54GS) i tried opening the port 5190 and still doesnt work on G5 running tiger. Pls help????

Hi Joel,
Many LinkSys set uppages look the same.
This one is for the WRT54g (no S at the end)
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT54G/iChat.htm
In the Adminstration option you should find UPnP which is an On or Off setting.
Try that.
Also check that the modem and the Linksys are not both doing DHCP as this creates subnets which ichat also doe not like
