  • Trying to connect a wireless router to a switch

    We have an 8 port router in the closet(linksys) with the cable connection and in our main room we have a five port 10/100 (By linksys) switch that connects to the system just fine all hardwired, and we have internet already working off of that.
    We tried to connect the WRT54G wireless router to the switch because we asked at the store and they said if we had a switch already that's what we'd want. I changed the ip address on the new router to the 192.168.2.1, saved the settings and then tried to plug it into the switch. As soon as we plugged into the switch, anything else connected to the switch stopped getting internet. I also tried to just leave it at the default and same problem. I tried the 'change the IP address to 192.168.1.2 and disable DHCP server and then going into advanced and changing gateway to router and again, same problem. Regardless of what I do anytime I plug that wireless into the switch everything on the switch stops working.
    How would we get both the switch and the router to work?

    I assume that you want your wireless and your wired computers to all share the same network, and all connect to the Internet through your 8 port router in the closet.  And the 8 port router uses the 192.168.1.x  address space.  ---  is that all correct?
    If so, disconnect the WRT54G from the rest of your network, then using a computer wired to the WRT54G, do the following:
    a)  set the "Local IP address"  (not the "Internet Connection Type"  address)  to 192.168.1.2    I am assuming that you are not using this fixed adddress elsewhere in your network.
    b) Leave the DHCP server set to "disabled".
    c) Wire any port from your 8 port router or switch, to any numbered port on the WRT54G.  Do not connect anything to the "Internet" port on the WRT54G.
    Note that with this setup, your 8 port router will control your router settings (port forwarding, DHCP server, firewall, etc.).  Your WRT54G will only contol your wireless settings.
    If you need more help, please state the model of your 8 port router and switch.

  • Thinkpad 430u Windows 7 - Public Network - Wireless router is not assigning IP address

    Hello, 
    My computer knowledge is limited, but I have a chronic issue when attempting to connect to public wireless networks, ie a coffee shop: 
    When I attempt to connect, the laptop identifies the public network as an Unidentified Network and although it "connects" it says No Internet Access. Normally, when I connect, I would be prompted to selected Home, Work, Public and this does NOT happen.  In the Network and Sharing Center, under the heading "View your active Networks" it says Unidentified Netowork, Public Network; Access type: No Internet Access, Connections: Wireless Network Connection (name of network).  The words "Public Network" is NOT a hyperlink and cannot be clicked on.   
    When I run run cmd and check ipconfig I find that the wireless router is not assigning an ip address to my laptop.  i then input ipconfig/releasei, and ipconfig/renew.  I then receive and error saying "An error occurred while renewing interface Wireless Network Connection: The operation was canceled by the user." 
    I have turned off my firewall.  
    My smart phone can connect the the internet with no problem and the other laptop users have no problem either.  This indicates there is no problem with the wirless router itself, but is some kind of setting or something that needs to be adjusted on my end.  
    Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address: 169.254.86.100
    Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
    Default gateway: n/a 
    Please, any help is appreciate.  This is a chronic problem any time I link to public networks.
    P.S. I have no problem connecting to the internet in my own home
    Thank you!! 

    Sorry, forgot to include: it's a 2Wire 2701hg-b Residential Gateway.  I'm unsure how old the model itself is--it was just given to us by AT&T (it's the model they use for their U-verse service).  I checked today and the firmware is up-to-date. 
    Thanks.

  • Time capsule wireless router will not work

    I have a Time Capsule that I use as a wireless router in my condo.  Our internet company was recently purchased by another company, and after the transition, I am not able to connect to internet wirelessly.  My condo is wired with active ethernet ports.  If I plug the ethernet cable directly into my computer, I am able to log in to the ISP's main page and connect to the internet without any problems.  However, if I plug my ethernet cable into the Time Capsule as I did before, I cannot connect.  Before the company bought the old company, I didn't have any issues.  I've called their Tech Support 3 different times about this and they tell me they don't provide support for my wireless routers because there are so many different types.  They suggested resetting the router password, but I'm not completely sure how to do that.  Is that different than my airport password?
    I should also note, that if I pull up System Preferences and to the "assist me" feature under the Network option, it tells me that I'm connected. 
    Any help you can provide would be fantastic!  I'm at my wits end with this issue, as I connect a number of devices to my Time Capsule wirelessly.
    Regards,
    Jake

    I have a 2TB Timecapsule and really only use it for Time Machine backups. But the Wi-Fi side is used to sync my iPad at times.
    Mine is wiredup thus;
    Eth cable from iMac to modem (not the WAN port should you have one),  then eth cable from modem to T/Cap in the WAN port (bottom port with an O sign above it)
    I believe when its connected up you may have to set up a wireless network. Follow the instructions to set up Wi-Fi and Network
    and then give it a password. The WiFi icon should appear in the menu bar where you can switch it on or off.
    Its been sometime since I set it with the help of Apple Techs so I might be a bit rusty.

  • Can connect to wireless router but not to the internet

    Please Help, I have a WRT150N and I can connect to my wireless router by it will not connect to the internet from there, even though the internet, wireless, and security lights are lit up. If I plug a cord into the back of the router and then into my computer, I can connect to the internet, but once I disconnect the cable, I can still find and connect to my wireless router, but it will not connect to the internet from here. Under access it says "Local Only", I have the security type set to "Shared" under the security properties, and set to "WEP" with WEP key #1 entered. I have spent about 4 hours working on this problem now and could really use some help. Thanks.

    Type ipconfig /all in command prompt(cmd.exe) to see whether it displays valid and correct IP, netmask, gateway and DNS info. If not, take a look on these cannot connect to wireless network problem and using ping to troubleshoot network problem articles to get more ideas. Hope it helps..

  • WRT54G Wireless Router -- Do not have setup disk, what do I do?

    I just moved into a new apartment and my father had an extra wireless router lying around but misplaced the setup disk. The only time I have ever set up a home network it has been with the use of an automated setup wizard. Is there any way I can download this software, or someone can give me step by step instructions on how to get this thing up and going?
    Any help would be much appreciated!!!

    You do not need the setup CD to install your router, you can configure it manually...

  • WRT54G Wireless Router Will Not Assign a Network Address

    A Linksys WRT54G router will not assign a network address when I access the router using a Linksys WPC600N wireless card. I have the same problem accessing the router with a TRENDnet TEW-621PC wireless adapter. Both wireless adapters are assigned network addresses when I use other wireless routers. Also, I have no problems being assigned a network address when I access the WRT54G router in question using an old 2WIRE 802.11b wireless card.
    I have tried "Repairing" the connection, I have used ipconfig to "release" and "renew" the connection. However, each attempt fails to have a DHCP address assigned.
    I am a visitor at the work location with the connection problem, the router works for others without any issues.
    Thanks

    Well in such case .... you can try few settings on the wireless adapter ....
    If you are using WLAN monitor .....
    Click start >> All programs >> Linksys wireless monitor >> Click on "Profile" >> Delete all profiles >> Click "New" >> Type in the wireless network name >> Click next >> Configure the rest of the wireless settings same as in the router ...
    At last point it shows .... all the configuration settings ...reconfirm that  >> Click on connect ot a network & reboot the computer ...
    After reboot see if it shows connected or not....
    You can also use Static Ip in the configuration ....

  • Numbers on Wireless Router do not light up

    I have hooked up my wireless router to my cable modem and my computer. I plugged the ethernet into the back of the router and the numbers do not light up. The internet and power light up but not the number. Also when I try to connect to my lab top through the wireless router it says I am connected but it will not allow me to open any web pages? Why is this?

    Use this LINK as a reference and make sure your router is configured correctly with a PC hard wired (firmly seated) to the number one port of your router.  If you can not access your router go to this LINK and download the tftp.exe file for your routers model and try to flash the firmware.

  • LInksys E1200 Wireless router is not responding after a while

    Hi there, I have E1200 wireless router and it was working nicely for the whole last year with 2 mac laptops hooked up on it. About 2 months ago there were 1 mac,1 win laptop and a network printer. And again, it was working just fine at the beginning. I'm not sure when exactly it happened first, but now after working couple of hours internet gets off and router stops responding. If I try to reconnect to it from my laptop I just see an error message saying something about "Connection timeout". Also I don't know does it have something to do with the network printer, btw it's connected to the router via ethernet cable not wireless. Anyway, the only solution I've found so far is power off the router for a couple of secs and power it on again, which is obviously not a solution at all, it's annoying and not practical. The time it works fine before it dies is also not fixed, it might be even 10 hrs of working and sometimes only 1-2 hrs. My other suspicion is firmware. I upgraded it almost at the same time when new laptop and printer showed up. Maybe I have to downgrade it, but I couldn't find older version of it. It was HW v. 1, SW v.1.0.00, and now it's HW v.1, SW v.1.0.03. I'd highly appreciate if someone could help me out or at least show me direction where to dig in. Thanks.

    It seems that router is intermittent. I suggest you observe your internet connection without the router which means connecting the computer to the modem (if you can) to isolate if your modem's internet connectivity is okay or stable. Upgrading the firmware to the latest is actually okay. Try to reset your router back to factory defaults by pressing its reset button found at the bottom for 10 seconds. When you do reset by the way, it will delete all the current settings that you have especially for the wireless. But you can take note of them before you reset the router. After the reset, you have to get the internet up and running again. You may refer to  the links below on how to get it up and running again for wired and wireless internet.

  • Problems with my Wireless Router since Mac Switch

    Ever since my wife and I bought our MacBooks (we have one each) I have been having issues with my Linksys Wireless G Router.
    http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-WRT54GS-Wireless-G-Broadband-SpeedBooster/dp/B0001 D3K8A
    That is the one I have.
    I use WEP encrypted, DCHP auto allocate on IP addresses and both machines are always within 20 feet of the router. However we get dropped connections to the router very often, almost daily, and it usually happens within a few minutes of booting a machine. The only way to restore the connection is to power down the router and restart it. This always works.
    I've already tried the following. Changed the router channel from 5 to 7, in case there is interference. Changed the WEP password (it's 128-bit hex) and even tried limiting the DCHP allocations to two machines and adding Mac Addressing.
    It could just be a hardware fault, but the previous machines (a PC laptop and an iBook G3) never had this issue. I did a router restart possibly once every 2 or 3 months. Now it's daily. Any advice?

    Believe it or not I got the cheapest wireless router in the shop! A Belkin Wireless G router. It was easy to set up, supports all the standards, has great range and hasn't missed a beat since I installed it and it cost $35. All 3 home machines (2 MacBooks and a Windows desktop) all link via it flawlessly.
    I nearly went for the base station from Apple, but at $200 it was hard to justify.
    Looking around at some forums, the Linksys seems to have issues. I had the version 5. I also updated it to the most recent firmware about 10 days before I had this problem. My MacBook and my Wife's MacBook both disconnected from it the same day. By connecting manually (assigning a manual IP address and giving that address directly to the router) worked until you restarted, but would only work for one machine at a time.
    When I saw the 2 MacBook Pro's in the cafe having EXACTLY the same issue, I was convinced it was the router. It had the same firmware version number mine did (ver 1.01)

  • Linksys Wireless Router BEFW11S4 - Shows connected, but I can not connect to the internet

    I have a Linksys Router hooked up to a cable RCA modem using Comcast Cable. There are 3 laptops that hook up wirelessly to the router and they have been working fine for the past two years. However, recently all three laptops can not connect to the internet for some reason. I checked with Comcast and they checked out the modem and tested it and it works fine. When I hook my laptop up to the modem with an ethernet cable, it works fine and I can get  on the internet. When I hook the modem up to the router and try to connect wirelessly it appears to be fine. It shows that the router is connected there is connectivity on all our laptops, however when I open a new internet explorer page to get on the internet, it does nothing. A blank page appears and the webpage will not load. Does anyone know how to fix this? Is it the router or the way it is setup in the admin page or could it be possibly something else? Thanks.

    As it shows connected under wireless ....check the Ip address under wireless network connection .....
    If it shows Ip 192.168.1.X ....with gateway 192.168.1.1 ..... try to pnig the gateway address ...
    If getting reply try going online ....
    Also disable the firewall first.....

  • Trying to add a Wireless router as a switch on an existing Wired network

    Hi,
    I'm having a lot of trouble with my WRT54GS v.2.0
    I'm trying to add wireless access to my existing network here at work. I think the main network is using Dlink 40+ node switches.
    I've been reading around and I've tried to turn off DHCP on the router, but when my computer tries to find a connection, it times out. I'm not even trying to get the wireless to work, just LAN for now.
    The router will get an ip address assigned by the main network, so it's connected, but I can't get the computer through to the main network.
    Is there anything I need to be setting up on the computer? Can this even be done?
    Thanks,
    Alex

    please make sure that you dont use the internet port on the router, use the local ports...(1,2,3,4)

  • Wireless Router does not work

    I am at a university that does not want you to use wireless routers, yet everyone around me still has theirs and when i open my Airport dropdown, i see numerous wireless networks that are run by students.
    My router is the ZyXEL HS-100W (a cheap router, but it has always worked for me in the past).
    When i turn the wireless on through the router's firmware, it is registered on my airport's list, and when i type in my password (WPA), I get the green light in network prefrences and it says something along the lines of "user assigned IP" I have full bars, and it says I am connected, yet whenever i try to open a webpage, it says that I am not connected to the internet.
    I tried to turn the firewall off inside the router, and it did nothing, I tried to use no security to see if that would work, and it did not.
    I do know that we have to register MAC addresses with the computer department here, so I am not sure if there is a way to do this within OSX or within the firmware.
    I know that this is probably very vague, but I am looking for whatever support I can get.
    Thanks
    ben

    it was a good suggestion, but i cannot find a place to manually set a MAC.
    The closest i could find is under the WAN page, there is a tab called WAN MAC.
    in that tab is "spoof this computer's MAC Address - IP Address" and then has a spot to input an ip address (the default is in the 192.168.. just generic ip).
    i tried to input my computer's ethernet mac address, and it didnt work.
    maybe there are futher suggestions based on this?
    also, i am not sure if this matters, but when the router is plugged in, and I am wired to the router, i can get internet, but once i switch to wifi, i dont get internet. maybe that will help.
    thanks
