Wireless router model befw11s4 won't work

I just moved into a new place, and got my internet connected today. I am trying to set up the wireless so that i can use my laptop but it won't work. I plugged everything in, turned it off, reset it, waited a bit, but nothing. I think it has to do with configuring ips, but i don't know how. I used to just go to the 192.168.1.1 page to do that, but it will not load, it just times out. What do I do? Please help, thanks

First power cycle computer ...router & modem .... after powering up ...check the Ip address on hardwired computer ... also check the light status on the wireless router ....
If getting Ip - 192.168.1.X ....ping 192.168.1.1 ..... if getting positive replies .... try going online ....
If you are getting request timed out .... disable all firewall on the computer then again try to ping the 192.168.1.1 address ....
After opening the setup page .... reconfigure the wireless router ....

HT4356 I was gifted a new Samsung wireless printer model ML-2165W, it works with my desk top and lap top but can't get it to work with IPad. Did I just receive a "boat anchor" printer in the eyes of Apple?

I was recently gifted a new Samsung wireless printer Model # ML-2165W and while it works fine with all my computers, I can't make it print from my IPAD. Was I given a "boat anchor" in the eyes of Apple?

It looks like your printer isn't on the list of air print enabled printers. It'll still work, you just need to do some tweaking.
You can see if samsung has any apps to enable printing.
or
You can look into a third party app like Print n Share or Print Central.
Then you can print from your iPad.

Setting up security and such for wireless router wrt54g without admin rights (work computer)

We are moving, I am in a new location with a new company and my only computer is this one from work. Trying to get my home network setup, I'm locked out of admin rights on this thing and am trying to set up the above router. I thought I had a modem problem at first, but finally I am online wired for now to the cable modem. I would like to get this router up and running, but I can't use the easy setup disk, and I just tried using the easy setup download and it is locked out as well. How can I get my router setup with security, with no admin rights on the pc?
This will be my first wireless router, so I am very green on the specifics and terminology. Any help is most appreciated.
Many thanks,

Thank you toomanydonuts!
I will do this when I get back to the townhouse this evening.
Just so that I am prepared for tonight - I want to confirm and ask a few questions on the "options" and note a couple things I noticed that may help with answers...
Internet connection type - should be easy, I assume there is a "cable modem" option.
SSID - I do not know what this means or what to choose
wireless encryption method (WEP, WPA, WPA2) - Which is best, or is there one I must pick due to computer used and such, I also want to get my Nintendo Wii accessing correctly, I saw these options on that setup, though it didn't work per my first message on the board. I assume whatever encryption method used needs to be chosen for the Wii?
wireless encryption password - I think I can handle this one
A couple of notes -
this laptop has this always on radar looking for wireless connections - how can I name my router so I know it's mine, other than the fact that it is the strongest signal. Maybe that's a network setting?
Thanks again, glad I came here.
Edit: I suppose I should add, just to ensure - in order to do this process through the url provided above, I need to be ethernet wired through the router to the modem? in order to access last night, I was straight into the modem, didn't seem to work wired through the router.

Wireless Router Installation CD won't open

Trying to install a netgear WPN 824 wireless router on my Imac 17, the installation disk won't open. I am installing the router for use with a PC laptop.
Thanks

You probably don't need the CD. Just plug a network cable (should have come with the router) from your Mac to the router. Use one of the numbered ports.
Then open up your browser (Safari, Firefox, etc...), you'll get an error message that page could not load, or something like that.
Depending on the router, you might have to look at the quick, guide, type in the default IP address of the router in the address line. Example: 192.168.0.1 -or- 192.168.1.1
It will then take you to a Netgear page, and the Wizard should start for you.
Hope that helps a little,

How do I password protect wireless access point router model BEFW11S4 ver. 2?

My wireless connection works fine when it is not secure. My model router is sort of old and isn't supported by linksys. I had someone else set it up with a password, but someone must've hit the reset button as it no longer is working. When I set the "passphrase" for the WEP in the setup for my router it says it is successful. When I to my network it asks for the password. It accepts it, but then I get a message that says there is limited or no connectivity. I also get a message that there is no IP address. When I try to "repair" by right clicking the properties under the wireless connection, it says it Windows is renewing my IP address, but it fails, then the screen where you would normally see the IP address says Private Address IP 169.254.240.4 but it still is not connected. When I drop the Mandatory WEP and go back to the non-secur connection it works fine. Any ideas?

For connecting to network, you have to use WEP key 1, and not the passphrase. Rest you are doing correct.

Installed a new DSL router, now AirPort won't work

My DSL router started dying a few days ago. The tech from my provider came right out and replaced it; the wired connection to my MacBook Pro is fine, and the wireless connection to the old iBook G4 via AirPort initially worked OK, but now the house wifi name won't even show on the menu.
When the new router was programmed, it was set to "Enable DHCP Server".
The router is a Comtrend ADSL. I'm logged onto it now, and the settings at the "Management" control panel DHCP are "enable" and "disable". Is there anything I should change there?
Under "Access Control", I'm shown a table headed "Feature/root/support/user/apuser" with category titles like "account access", "wireless - basic", and "wireless - advanced", and under the "account access" category, there are popdown menus with choices "none", "LAN", "WAN" and "both". Is there anything I need to change there?
Any ideas? I'm kind of feeling my way through this, so apologies in advance if nothing makes any sense.
Machines involved in this fracas are a G4 iBook, an Intel MacBook, an iPad2, and a couple of iPhones. Main wired connectivity is OK on a MacBook Pro, which is probably snickering smugly as I type this.
Thanks in advance,

almost all Netgear routers have a firewall. So log into the router. Username Admin and password is probably password. If not these days they print in on the bottom of the router. Check the ports used for mail are not blocked.

X220i wireless radio and hotkeys won't work after hibernation

I just bought an X220i laptop. I've spent a weekend downloading updates and drivers and searching the forum and support site, but I have two unresolved issues. Once I bring the computer back from hibernation, the wireless radio is off and will not turn back on. I can bring up the dialogue box, click the "turn on" button, and nothing happens. The only way to restor the wireless connection is to reboot the machine.
A related, but less frustrating, problem is that after hibernation, none of the hotkeys work. Again, rebooting is required to use any hotkey functions. Both of these problems occur after hibernation mode only. They do not happen when the laptop recovers from sleep mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Are you using the preloaded Windows 7?
Can you try running System Update (search in the Start menu) and having it update your drivers?
Unfortunately, System Update often fails to offer the latest versions available, a serious problem.
(See BUG: System Update fails to offer latest versions of some components)
So after running System Update, be sure to check Drivers and software - ThinkPad X220, X220 Tablet, X220i, X220i Tablet (MIGR-77280) and manually install whatever was missed by System Update.
Hope that helps,

Cannot get current version iPod Touch to log in to a Netgear N3000 wireless router using 128bit encryption. Works finr at 64. Also work fine on my Linksys access point at home. Suggestions?

See subject above.

Has someone an idea how to get into the system of the iPod, that i am able to see what he is doing?
I already tried to works with XCode, but not able to connect to my device.
Also worked with the iPhone Utility, nevertheless a bit helpful.
Or a hint, how to destroy my actual firmware and to set up a new one, means setting up a completely (brand) new iPod like i bought it at the store?!
Support can not help me any more because my warranty is over ince 2 days.
Thank you

WRT54GS wireless router - Outlook Express won't allow me to send/recieve e-mails.

I've followed the Port Triggering advive on http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=666&p_created=108421...
but still doesn't work.
these are the error messages that pops up when I open Outlook express:
***The host 'SMTP' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'POP3', Server: 'SMTP', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D***
and

Can anyone help?

The only other email problem like this that I have seen is that occasionally Windows has "fogotten" my email password. Try entering your password again. If this does not fix it, I would suggest deleteing the email account completely, then reboot, then setup the email account again, and make sure you carefully follow all your ISP's recommendations.
If this still does not fix the problem, contact your ISP tech support. I had an email problem once that could not be resolved, but when I called tech support they told me about a new email system change that they "had not had time to post yet" in the instructions.
Hope this helps.

Will apps on ipod only work if you have a wireless router? My apps never work. they very briefly start but then put me back on the homescreen.

Okay, so, i got my ipod last week. love it!! but, anytime i download apps from itunes to my touch, they never ever work. i don't get it. they always briefly start and then put me at the homescreen. any suggestions???

Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
Then restart your iPod. Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPod touch. To turn iPod touch back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

Computer internet works but Ipod and Wii can't connect to wireless router

For Christmas I got a brand new Ipod Touch. It's able to pick up Wi-Fi and so you can explore the web with it. I went to radio shack and bought the Linksys RangePlus Wireless Router Model No. WRT110. I got it all hooked up and both the Wii and my iPod was able to connect to the internet. Well Thursday I opened the Linksys Advisor and noticed that 4 people were stealing my internet. I went into settings and put on the highest security. After doing that, I turned on my iPod and my network showed up but it wouldn't connect. It says "unable to connect". All the information such as "IP address, subnet mask, router, ect.." are blank from the settings. I click on my network, it doesn't ask me for a password (it never has), and it says "Unable to connect". I've tried countless ways to connect my ipod and wii back to the wireless router but nothing has helped. Does anyone know how to help me out?

As you have enabled higher security on your router, it is highly possible that your bot your Ipod and Wii do not support that security...Try to change your security from WPA/WPA2 to WEP and both should connect...

Problem for connecting my computer to my wireless router via ethernet cable

I have a wireles router model BEFW11S4. I have three computers connected to the router by wireless. All these connection work well. I have also a computer connected to the same router via an ethernet cable. This connection does not work, I cannot access internet with that computer. What can I do to correct the problem?

First off, you need to ascertain if the network card in the computer that is not working is capable of sending and receiving legitimate packets.
Best thing to do is try and connect this machine directly to your Internet Service Provider modem and see if it works.
If it doesn't, first you need to check if your computer is capable of acquiring an IP address automatically (See below for details).
If it is setup to acquire an IP address automatically, but still does not work you either need to find someone who knows how to test network hardware for you or you could try installing a different network card in your computer.
There are 2 ways a computer can receive an IP address. A typical way is for your router to provide one to the workstation using something called DHCP. The other method requires you to know the exact IP addressing required on your LAN such that your workstation when manually configured with an IP address knows where to send it's packets to get out to the Internet.
To check if the computer that does not work is configured to "automatically" receive an IP address from your router, do the following:
1. click on Start
2. click on Control Panel
3. double-click on Network Connections
4. right single-click on "Local Area Connection"
5. click on Properties
6. Scroll down the list until you see "Internet Protocol (TCPIP)"
and then double-click that item
7. Make sure "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically" are checked.
This setting allows the workstation to send a broadcast message looking for a DHCP server which can assign an IP address to the workstation. Your router typically would have a DHCP server configured for providing IP addresses. The typical home-based routers can be configured to run a DHCP server or not. Chances are that your wireless computers are automatically acquiring an IP address from your router and therefore it should work on Ethernet connections as well.
It is possible for something to be not working inside your router that would prevent the DHCP server from distributing IP addresses only on the Ethernet connections. If this is the case you would have to acquire a new router.
There is more that can be looked at, but this is where you need to start.

IPod Touch (and iPhone) can't find Belkin N Wireless Router

I spent over an hour looking for an answer to this problem today and accidently found a solution - so am posting the answer.
Have a 2 year old Belkin N Wireless Router (model F5D8236-4v1) with SSID broadcasting on and WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK) security selected.
All the Windows laptops in the house could see the wireless SSID and could successfully log in after entering the WPA/WPA2 password.
Both iPod Touch and iPhone 3GS could NOT see the SSID. Also entering the wireless router IP address directly instead of the SSID did NOT work.
After an hour of looking for solutions on-line, including:
- Tried no security
- Tried WEP 64 and 128 bit security
then stumbled across a thread in a forum where someone referred to changing a "-" (dash) in an SSID name to a character. So tried this.
The old SSID name includes spaces - "name name1 name2". I deleted the spaces, and the problem was solved.
This Belkin router comes with a default name of BelkinN_WirelessXXXXXX, but does not say in the online help to NOT use spaces in the SSID name. And again, the Windows laptops could see the wireless Router while it had the SSID name INCLUDING the spaces in the name.
Hope this saves at least one person going through the same wasted hour.

Click on the blue arrow to the right of the network name, if IP address starts with "169." ,restart your router. It should connect properly after your router reboots in a minute or two.

Wireless Router asking for different password when trying to change settings

I have an "old" wireless router Linksys BEFW11S4 V2.
I am trying to change settings using the web interface.
I can get in using the "admin" password but as soon as I try to change anything (such as SSID, security, etc) and click "Apply", it asks me for a password. This time, the "admin" password doesn't work and I get to a red screen saying I entered a wrong password. I reseted my router and came back to the default but still, I get the same thing.
...any clues anyone?
Thanks.

Try upgrading the firmware from ftp.linksys.com/pub/network ..also after upgrade ...reset the router & reconfigure it ... See if it works ...
