WIRELESS ROUTER WRT160N AND HP PSC 2510

I JUST INSTALLED THE WRT160N ON MY DELL DESKTOP AND CAN ALSO SEE IT FROM MY LAPTOP. THE PROBLEM IS THAT NOW MY PRINTER CANNOT CONNECT TO IT WIRELESSLY. I PRINTED A NETWORK CONFIG PAGE AND IT SAYS NETWORK NAME IS LINKSYS WHICH WAS THE OLD WIRELESS ROUTER THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED. I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA BE SMART AND CHANGE THE NETWORK NAME WHEN I INSTALLED THIS NEW ROUTER TO BE MORE SECURE, BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK. HOW CAN I GO BACK AND RENAME THE NETWORK. THE BLUE LIGHT ON THE TOP OF MY PRINTER SHOULD LIGHT UP WHEN IT IS CONNECTED BUT IT DOESN'T
THANKS

Access the setup page of the router by launching an
Browser and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When
it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field
empty and provide password as "admin" (Without quotes)
click on ok. .....
Click on wireless tab .... change the network name SSID to your required name ... click save settings ... .Also go to wireless security tab ..... change the security level as you like it ...
Check thel ight on the Printer ....
if not Power cycle the Router & Printer ....

I have bought a wireless router WRT150N and configured it...

I have bought a wireless router WRT150N and configured it. I have a DSL Cable modem. I am not able to connect to Internet sites (even when connected to the router through cable). I have a VPN client in my laptop and i am able to connect it. after connecting the vpn i am able to browse all the sites. why i am not able to browse the sites without connecting the vpn? If i directly connect to the modem (i.e without router) i am able to browse.
Is there any configuration settings i am missing out?

Yes i think you are missing some configuration setings on the router ....
As it is a DSL connection .... you can use this link to configure the router using DSL connection ....

Clicking noise on phone after installing wireless router WRT160N

I have just installed a WRT160N wireless router and have had success in getting it going after some initial problems with my virus protection/firewall. However I now have a constant soft clicking sound on my phone. I have Comcast high speed internet and also their phone service (over the cable system). Any ideas on how to solve this problem. Without the router, there is now clicking at all.

What type of phone you are using ? Kindly give more details...

Wireless Router WRT160N wired to desktop, I loose internet when wireless laptop is off.

I have the wrt160n v2 wireless router, it does not work for me.
If my XP wireless laptop is only powered ON the Vista desktop internet wired will work, I am not wired or wireless using the laptop, not in internet, only powered on.
If the laptop is off I have no internet on the desktop, still plugged thru the router.
The laptop is used and I was unsure if the built in wireless was new enough so I bought a card to go in it for wireless.
When everything is on all is well for playing on the internet times two computers, but if you turn off the laptop I have to plug the internet directly into the desktop to continue in the internet.
I started to work with tech support yesterday and they are hard to understand. I did bring in the newest firmware and still have the problems.
Can anybody help me, I really don't have the time to be on the phone for hours figuring this all out.
Thanks
Jackie

Well thank you for my promotion to deity status!!!
Unfortunatley my REAL boss at my REAL job probably doesn't read these forums!!!!
And I wish everyone that was having this problem with 160Nv2 firmware could get some kind of compensation from Linksys, but again, unfortunately, I have no control over that, not being a Linksys employee...I had a Cisco CCNA once, but it expired.....and that is as close as I will ever probably come....

If you are getting a public ip address from the ADSL device then connect RV042 to the AdSL device and then configure the settings for wrt54g connected to RV042.with DHCP disbled and connected from LAN on RV to lan On WRT.

TS1398 My wireless router failed and I had to purchase a new one. My security on the new one will not allow me to use the same password. I entered a new password, but of course it is not on my ipod or ipad mini . How can I enter new password ?

My wireless router in my home has failed. I purchased a new router, but it will not allow some of the characters which I used for my old password. Therefore I cannot access the internet with my ipad mini or my ipod touch. I am unable to change the password on either device. How do I go about changing the password on these units so that I can access the internet? Thanks

Wireless router WRT160N will not wok

I bought this router 10-07-09. It won't stay connected to the internet. The router says that I am connected. But I don't have internet. I have called customer service and nothing helped. Sometimes if I repair the service it will work for a little while.

There is a known issue with intermittent connectivity and the Build 11 firmware for the WRT160N V2. Build 11 is the current firmware on the Linksys site. Check to see if you have Build 11 if your router is a V2.
Downgrading to Build 8 is generally accepted to correct these issues, however Linksys have indicated to several people they do not have the build 8 firmware to give to end users.
This is ONLY for WRT160N V2 routers. This firware will not work on WRT160N V1.

Copying wireless router password and settings to a new Powerbook

I recently bought a second 15" powerbook after my girlfriend bought my former one.
I bought a Lynksys WRT54G Wireless G Router and after some configuration, I successfully connected her powerbook to my DSL connection wirelessly. However I now am having trouble connecting my new PB wirelessly. I am a bit apprehensive about messing with setting a new password, etc, since I might mess up her wireless connection. I remember it took some time to set the router properly.
Is there a way to copy, and or see, ALL of the settings that I configured in her powerbook for this Lynksys Router, so I can copy them correctly to mine?
When I tried before, I had something screwed up because I kept getting different errors as I tried different settings.
So I need to retrieve the PASSWORD and SETTINGS for the Lynksys Router from her BP and copy them to mine.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks,
Richard

Thanks for that info.
I will post this to the Airport section.
The problem is that even after copying all of the settings from my girlfriends PB, including a long password starting with a $, my airport won't connect to the Lynksys wireless network. Airport is turned on (on my powerbook), and 'Ive chosen the proper wireless network with the proper password in network settings. I also added my PB Mac address to the Lynksys router when I was hooked up via an ethernet cable, but I still can't connect the the wireless network. I have both Powerbooks side by side. Hers connects wirelessly and mine doesn't.
I'm missing a setting somewhere, I believe.
Thanks,

Does anyone can tell me where could I download the .bin file of this firmware version ??
I already downloaded the file "Setup Wizard (Windows XP/Vista 32-bit and 64-bit)" from the linksys download page but I could'nt find the file, I just found one .bin file "en_lang.bin" under "setup->lcid->1033 folder but when I try to upgrade the firmware with this file the setup page throw me a error.
Thanks in advance... !!

Thanks for your time.. Let see if I undertood... If I download the file, and I run the file under the setup folder (setup.exe) Does the file upgrate the firmware ?? and I don't need to upgrade it by the administration opcion in the router setup page ?? Or How exactly is the procedure to upgrade the firmware, after I download the file Setup Wizard (Windows XP/Vista 32-bit and 64-bit) ??
Thanks again...

RangePlus-G Wireless Router (WRT160N)

What do you guys think of this router?
I am going to use it for 2 xbox and 2 computers.One xbox is going to wired and the other with wireles,same with the computers one wired and the other one wireless.

This router is a Good Router, If you are planning to buy this router, then i think you should look out for version 1 of this router. Version 2 has some issues. Version 1 will solve all your purpose and it will work perfectly fine.

Wireless Router, Sleep, and Connectivity

Hello,
I have an iBook G4, connected wirelessly to a new Linksys WRT54G router (with the latest firmware installed).
Several times per week, I find that my iBook does not "see" the router after waking from sleep. This is easily corrected by rebooting the iBook. However, I'd rather not have to reboot.
The router is using WPA2 encryption. I had a D-Link prior to the Linksys, and remember the same thing occurring. I understand that others have experienced this as well with various routers.
I am interested in any suggestions of how to avoid rebooting to regain the signal.
Thank you in advance,
Steve

Try changing your settings in System Preferences>Network. Set Location to Automatic, and Show to AirPort and select the AirPort panel below. Add the name of your network and the security method used. Change "By default, join:" from Automatic to Preferred Networks, again click on "Apply Now" button.
After that, click the "Options..." button and check through what's offered to see how you might want to restrict access. If you use your iBook to access outside networks, you don't want to make that too much of a hassle for yourself, so I'd recommend checking off the setting "If no preferred networks are found: Automatically join an open network" Again click the "Apply Now" button.
In that way, your iBook will first look for your specific preferred network at home, yet still latch onto an open network when you're away.
In addition, if there are a lot of interfering systems around, use interference robustness.
Finally, you could always change to using another channel, some will be better than others.

Wireless Router RTS and Fragmentation

If I'm streaming video, does anyone know if it's better to have a large Fragmentation and RTS, or a smaller one?
My D-Link router recommends an RTS of 2347 and Fragmentation of 2346, but I would like the best performance for video streaming. Thanks!

well on the router's setup page, click on the advanced wireless settings... try reducing the beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304...also N transmission rate to 270mbps...check whether it makes any difference or not.
(Edited post for guideline compliance. Thanks!)

WIreless Router WRT54GS and DSL Modem

I'm going fo a week of trying without any success in configuring my wireless net at home. The modem is ok, configured by my ISP and gives me Internet easily when I attach the cable diretcly to my notebook. However, when I put the Linksys router in between it never works, neither wired, nor wireless.
I've tried a lot of things, including change the modem from router to bridge (when I turned it to bridge it never worked, forcing me to go back to the routing mode). So, the modem is already doing the authentication, it's configured as PPPoe. What I need is to make the Router only do the job of transmit is wirelessly, and that is what I'm not achieving.
note: My OS is Windows XP and the router lights it all normally when connected. I even see the wireless network broadcasted with the name I chose and excellent signal, but even if I succeed in conecting to it, I can't navigate at all.
note 2: I've tried the Linksys CD and the Easy Link Advisor, and both failed before completing the installation. The Easy link couldn't see the modem. The cd always stopped while trying to configure or to acess the Internet.
I beg for someone to solve this cause for the first time in my life I'm considering pay for some tech to resolve this.

well, can u pls tell who is ur isp??
try to config the router manually instead of using cd---reset router---open setup page---check Internet IP Address in Status page
if ip: 192.168.x.x, then, in the WRT54GS, local page change the local ip to: 192.168.2.1---power cycle entire n/w---this should work
pls check this 1st, and let us know---we can proceed further from there

I have a printer (HP LaserJet 2100) connected via ethernet to my wireless router (Netgear) and want to use it from my MacBook Pro.

However, the print & scan window just allows me to click on 'add', but then eveything is greyed out and the printer is not displayed.
I was able to connect the printer without any problems to my Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows (Vista) systems and I'm used to having the least problems with Macs up to now.
I've read about similar problems here and followed the advise, but the problem remains.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks

For you to "see" the printer in the Default view after you click the plus button to add, the printer would have to support an advertising protocol like Bonjour. For Linux and Vista, you would have added the printer by selecting a protocol and entering the IP address of the printer. You can do the same thing on the Mac. In Print & Scan, after you click the plus button to add, select the IP icon and then enter the IP address of the printer. Change the Protocol menu to HP Jetdirect-Socket (this is called RAW Port 9100 on the other OS's); leave the Queue name blank; change the Name to LaserJet 2100; leave the Location blank and select the supporting model name in the Use menu. Click to Add and then see if you can print.
