Wireless router conflicting with Virgin SuperHub...

Not sure if anyone can help here
Recently upgraded to Virgin Media's 30Mb broadband and Superhub
This superhub is a modem and wireless router but I've had the wireless section disabled so that it acts as a modem only and that in turn is connected to my Netgear WNR2000 N300 wireless router. This is then connected to my iMAC via ethernet but runs wifi around the house for the iPad, AppleTV2 and my Marantz CR603 streaming hifi
Anyways... All of a sudde the Mac isnt able to connect to the internet; it appears that the router and superbhub seem to be conflicting each other but I'm unsure why (I'm not that technical minded when it comes to things like this sorry)
It's like the IP addresses have changed so sometimes it'll work (after everythings rebooted) but then it stops working again etc...
Does anyone have any advice or tips on this issue?
Regards

Turn the dhcp server off in either the Virgin or the Netgear, 2 dhcp servers is one too many.

  • Linksys Wireless Router Conflicting with Wireless Keyboard and Mouse?

    I am getting ready to purchase a Linksys Wireless-N Router with a PCI Wireless-N Adapter (2). Will I have a conflit with my Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse? I have two home computers that I want to set up with a wireless router. Should I use a Linksys Wireless-N Home Router or a Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router? Which Wireless-N PCI Adapters should I use?

    No you should not have a problem with the router conflicting with the wireless keyboard/mouse.  They are on a different frequency all together from the wireless router.

  • Trying to get a WRT54GX2 wireless router working with a W...

    Trying to get a WRT54GX2 wireless router working with a WPC54G wireless card. The laptop and desktop both will access the Internet and work when hardwired through the router's Ethernet ports. When trying to access wireless, the Laptop shows to be connected to the router and also to Internet, but Internet Explorer can not access any websites.  Suggestions? Thanks.

    what ip address does the laptop get ?? ensure that the laptop is not set for a static ip add....and it gets an ip add from the router ..

    I recently bought a WRT54G wireless router along with a WUSB54GC compact wireless adapter and set up both products as directed.I get a message saying connected to the access point but cannot find internet. While connecting to my internet directly,(using a fiber optic cable with no modem necessary)it connects to the internet however using the modem,wired or wireless it still gets the same error. I am not computer literate,so i don't understand abbreviations or where to go to input information into certain areas,so if anyone could help me with step by step information I would be very grateful. Thank you and happy holidays.

    Let me know the Model number of the adapter & the operating system of the computer ......so that i can assit you further ... ..

  • Looking for a wireless router / accespoint with radio time restriction

    I am looking for a wireless router / accespoint with a radio time restriction but didn't find any information about this option. Are there any routers with the option to turn off the wireless signal between a specific time?
    The router will be used at a small office .
    I hope you can tell me more.
    Cheers
    Michel

    Well there is No router which linksys/cisco manufacture that can stop the wireless signals to be broadcast for a specific time..
    However what you can do is you can get into the setup interface of the router and disable the SSID broadcast and that will stop the router to broadcast the wireless signals...and whenever you need to enable it you can just go back into the setup page of the router and enable the broadcast again.

  • Wireless Router issues with MacBook Pro and Windows XP laptops

    hello,
    I have a d-link wireless router and I have a MacBook Pro and a Windows XP laptops. My issue is that I have to keep rebooting either the router or the modem (which I both replaced) and it still does not work right. Now can mac and windows work simultaneously through a wireless router (d-link) with no issues?

    My problem is that every time I log off either computer, and when I start it back up up again I have to reconfigure all over again for both laptops to get connected to the internet. I called the d-link people and they pretty much said if i still had problem to go their web sites and download their firmware (which I have that version) so I am running out of options because I just can't turn either of them on with out reconfiguring it. Now I am using WPA on them. Could that be the issue? But right now I do not know. This is my first mac and I am getting a little irritated by this. Overall I like the mac except for this little issue. Does that help?

  • Will a NAS Plugged into a Non-Airport Wireless Router work with TM?

    Will a NAS Plugged into a Non-Airport Wireless-N Router work with TM?
    I'm looking for a backup solution for my new MacBook Air and I don't want to spend $200 extra for a Time Capsule when an NAS would do the job.
    Any guidance would be appreciated.

    No. TM will not backup to any NAS other than Time Capsule

  • What wireless router works with this OS?

    i have bought 2 different routers that are not compatible with this OS...anyone know what wireless router i can buy that will work with OS X Mountain Lion?

    "Cisco Connect" seems to be support software which Cicso may not have updated for Mountain Lion. (It's hard to tell from the Cisco forums.)
    Supposedly, many of the functions on Cisco routers can be controlled through the web interface.
    Support software aside, jdcastaldo is right that the actual routing and wifi functions should be independent of the operating system of the clients.

  • WRT54GC Wireless router problem with iPod touch and Ipad

    Hi
    I have a WRT54GC wireless router and both my ipod touch and ipad can connect to the network. They can both use the internet for like one minute and then the internet becomes very slow, and dies. Network connections are lost and I'm getting messages like 'can't connect to itunes' or 'lost connection with youtube'. The wireless router works fine for the laptops in the house (all windows). In the house where I live in the week (closer to my school) there is another router and i don't have the problem over there, also no problem to connect to my schools wireless network... So I think it's a combination problem of apple products and that router. I've tried a lot, like resetting network configuration, updating firmware, changing from wpa to wep1,... Anyone an idea?
    Thank you
    Bert

    oh and the connection to the router isn't lost.
    Thank you

  • Wireless router conflict

    I just got a new wireless router. Install went great. Access to everything on the internet, including my web sites etc. Then I made some changes on one of my sites (I have 2 web sites, a wordpress blog and e-mail that are all connected together via my web sites). Now I cannot access either of my sites, my blog or my email that is connected to my site. I can, however, access anything else in the universe on the web. So, I have deduced that there must be something in dreamweaver that caused this. Can anyone help? Thanks

    It looks like I have bigger fish to fry than worrying about a wirless router. My web site is www.charterdestin.com but the site is not up as of this morning. Apparently, according to my hosting guy, someone hacked into my computer, messed with the passwords and both the sites are down.This is very bad because it's my business.
    I am working on an imac so I called apple and they told me that the site was hacked from the hosting end which makes more sense to me as I have  online accounts that nobody has touched. If I were a hacker I believe I'd go for the money but maybe thats just me. The hosting guy is working on it as we speak checking the logs or whatever they do.
    The hosting guy wants me to format my computer but the apple guy said that will erase everything and bring it back to default factory settings which will be horrid for me. All this is going on at the same time which is a bit overwhelming.

  • Router conflict with Roadrunner and/or their motorola modem

    I have owned a linksys router for over five years now and about 1 month ago my entire house comprised of 3 desktops one of which is wired directly to the router others are wireless, 4 laptops (wireless), 3 iphones, an xbox 360 (wireless), a ps3 (wireless), (i dont mean to flaunt but i stress the importance of a stable internet connection in a house of my size and), started hitting pings of over 2400's... there is connection but virtually no response....most sites time out before comeing up. so naturally we trouble shooted this anomaly on our own... tried connecting a computer directly to the motorola cable modem and found it in perfect working order... when on speedtest.net we saw pings around 15-20 and download speeds up to 19mbps every so often up to 25mbps but never lower. through either router new or old i see pings over 2400 with out fail and downloads areound 4mbps wihjch wouldnt be horrible if it werent for the latency.
    so we figure old rounter.... got a new one. one of the linksys wrt110's and saw no improvement which was frusterating because the router was clearly the problem
    so we thought for some reason the protocols within the modem itself were the problem and replaces this as well.... i have tested the signal power/strengths/frequencys with the modems as well and although my knowledge is limited to what i have learned on my own i know its well within proper ranges to function.  (it would be common sense id think seeing as how the signal is fine when not being filtered through the routers.but i tested anyway).
    now i tried one other thing..and that was to instead connect the internet through my computer and thenback out into the router via a 2 ethernet cablescards andashared connection ... still no dice seeing as the internet connection was still giveing ping readings around 240. as a final resort to find whether it was routing in general that was conflicting or just the linksys routers fault for the latancy problem i connected another machine directly tomy computer via shared connection andit works perfectly but it isnt really a viable solution considering the multitude of internet hungary machines in my home.
    now i know all this is rather vague but the story itself tells volumes about my problem but not really how to fix it... the only equally vague solutions i can conjure is to either 1. buy adifferant brand router ( i am rather attached to linksys afterthis length of time) or 2. find an underlying protocol or signal differance that wasnt there for almost5 year up till 1month ago. HELP me  please i just plain dont know enoughabout this and apearantly niether do many other people because i have talked with 2 linksys routertechs on phone and had timewarner cable come to my house twice aswell.. they even replaced the modem
    im plain out of ideas

    If i m not wrrong, you have connected your Router to your computer and your computer to the Modem and you have shared the Internet Connection through your Computer.
    Well basically you dont have to share Internet connection from your Computer, As you Router already has a NAT and it can Share the Internet connections on your other computers also. 
    Connect the Modem to Linksys router on Internet Port and Then connect your Computer to any available Ethernet Ports. Now you can configure your Linksys Router.

  • Wireless router interfering with ds4 bluetooth.

    Today I hooked my ps4 up to avtv in the next room with a 10 metre hdmi cable. The ds4 connection is very flakey and drops out a lot. My router is near my ps4, if I turn the router if the ds4 works flawlessly. Is there a setting I can change on my router (virgin media router) or anything else I can do to sort this out so my ds4 connection is more stable? I can't move the router very far from the ps4 as everything else in my av rack is hard wired to the router inc the ps4.

    After a few hours testing tonight (changing router to 5ghz, turning off WiFi unplugging powerlines adaptors etc). The only thing that really worked was taking the ps4 out of the av rack and standing it on it's end then moving closer to the connecting wall. Ad long as my phone's WiFi was turned off the ds4 connection was ok, although it did drop out occasionally. So I've come to the conclusion that the Bluetooth inside the ps4 and ds4 is a piece of Crap. Basically I've wasted my money on a 10 metre hdmi cable. Seems pstv has slight lag so that's not gonna be an option. Guess I'll have to stick to playing my old 360 in this room.

  • WRT54G Wireless Router Installation With Verizon DSL in Windows 2000

    Okay, here's a question that I've got. I am trying to hook up a Linksys WRT54G router to a Verizon DSL connection that uses a Westell 6100 modem on a desktop running Windows 2000.
    Can someone please give me step-by-step instructions for changing configuration settings on the Westell 6100 modem and the Linksys WRT54G modem so I can get the router working?
    And don't suggest going to Linksys Technical Support, I've been on the phone with them for over 2 hours and neither one of the people I talked to was even listening to a word I was saying.

    You can follow these steps:
    Make sure you are online directly from modem
    Connect router, that is, connect modem to internet port on router, and one of the computer to one of the local ports on linksys router
    Login to router's setup by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name
    Change local ip address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.1
    Turn off modem and router
    After 1 or 2 minutes turn on modem, and another 1 or 2 minutes turn on router
    Now try to access internet, it will work

  • Is wrt120n wireless router compatable with befsr41 ver 2 router to connect them together?

    i cant get it to work with my other router and i need to because i have 5 things to connect to the internet and network. 
    Thanks 
    Gary
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Connect two routers together here.  Or go buy a $20  4 port switch and just plug it in.

  • Ethernet not working with Virgin superhub (UK)

    Hi,
    When I plug my MacBook(mid 2010) into my Virgin Media super hub, I am given the error "self assigned ip address may not be able to connect to the Internet".
    I haven't used the Ethernet on my MacBook before and after reading apple support and virgin media support, it seems as if it should just work. The Ethernet connection is enabled in MacOS and have attempted using DHCP and self assigning an ip address.
    I have tested the cable I am using with a friends laptop, running windows 7, and it connects fine.
    Any advice on getting this to work would be great.
    Thanks

    Try creating a new "Location":
    System Preferences > Network
    Select the AirPort from the left hand side
    Click on the Locations combo box and select Edit Locations...
    Click on + to add a new location, call it "Home" (or anything else you prefer)
    Click on Advanced
    Select the AirPort tab and enter your network name
    Select TCP/IP tab. 
    Configure IPv4 Using DHCP
    Now click on Renew DHCP Lease.  After a few seconds you should get an IP address (probably 192.168.x.x)
    Click on Proxies tab.
    Select Auto Proxy Discovery and Use Passive FTP
    Click on OK and Apply, etc.
