WRT110 Only provides wireless to other computers when wired to a separate laptop

This never seemed to happen on our old computers, but now that my fiancee and I are both running Windows 7 and switched our Internet Service Provider, here is our problem:
Every time I try to open my laptop and connect to our router, it connects, but has limited or no connectivity.  I cannot navigate the internet.  If I cycle the router and modem, I can usually connect to the internet, but only after about 5 or 10 minutes of cycling and re-cycling.  If plug in ethernet directly to modem, I have internet; and if I plug in ethernet directly to router, I have internet, and other laptops are now able to get internet connectivity through wirelessly connecting to the router.  Otherwise, they are unable to as well.  Why does this happen? I completely reset my router to factory defaults and reset the passwords and all, but to no avail.  Anyone please help.  I'll answer any questions to provide more info.

Well, the reason your old computers had no issues is, maybe, you changed your computers, your ISP AND Operating Systems?
 Is the modem new also or is it the same one you used with your old computers? Are the modem AND the WRT110 the same ones?
 Are you saying if you connect ONE computer via ethernet to the router then the other one's can connect to the router via wireless. Are you sure they aren't using your computer as a host?(Internet sharing). If you hook any of the other computers up to router via ethernet can the others connect wireless also? Can ALL the computers connect to the router and the internet via ethernet?
 If you are using any "Auto-Config" setup then you might try setting the router and conmputers manually.
Sorry I can't help more....

  • How do I make it so that the one computer that has the main itunes account on it be used on other computers, when it comes to backing up phones and not deleting data off of phone that isnt on that computer itunes becasse its all on the one main computer

    how do I make it so that the one computer that has the main itunes account on it be used on other computers, when it comes to backing up phones and not deleting data off of phone that isnt on that computer itunes becasse its all on the one main computer. Baiscally the problem is that one comuter and one account has always been sued for eey persons itunes. Now if we want to be able to backup and use itunes on our own computers fro our iphones and such, how will all he data that is on our phones not be deleted once its plugged into a new computer? Also, is theere a way to get all the stuff on thw current itunes onto each computer, via differtn account name?

    option discovered in preferences. Really this and any feature that moves deletes or edits a users data should as far as possible be OFF BY DEFAULT. It shouldn't by default and without the users specific say do this dangerous and unnecessary thing without even letting the user know what it's doing!!! And then cause me a few hours (as i'm new to mac) searching for the option so as to switch it off. If i hadn't noticed the status cage declaring that it was copying files then i might never have twigged that this insane thing was occurring. And if i hadn't of noticed i would have been left maintaining the contents of the folder i copied the files to, the folder which as far as i was informed and so believed was also the location of the music files i was playing. How does Apple justify this 'genius' piece of software non-design? Surely it will hurt no one if this was off by default for new users - overall at least i dare say it would cause a lot less distress in the future for the unsuspecting public at large. Thanks for the support.

  • Can AirPort make USB internet wireless to other computers?

    Hi I'm very new to this whole Mac thing, and even more new to using the AirPort. Currently, everything is set up fine, we have a cable broadband plan and it's plugged into the AirPort and wireless for both my and my husband's laptops.
    I've recently been shafted by my broadband supplier though, and have been looking into other plans. The most convenient cost and download-wise are all usb wireless modem plans, however!
    So, my question is: if I get a USB Internet Stick (or Datacard) and go on a wireless plan, can I still wirelessly connect both computers to the net at the same time, and would I do that through the AirPort?

    Hi,
    An AirPort Extreme base station or an AirPort Express requires an Ethernet WAN input. The output of a USB (or ExpressCard) mobile broadband modem has to be converted (for example, through a special adapter similar to this one).
    Another way, as bpbpbp already indicated, would be to use a dedicated mobile broadband router (something like this, this or this); either independently or in connection with an existing wireless (Wi-Fi) base station.
    In all cases, make sure that a certain mobile broadband modem is supported before you buy. Usually, there is a list of supported devices for each mobile broadband router or special adapter.

  • I have apparently already authorized 5 other computers and need to sync my iphone with this computer.  How do I unauthorize the other computers when i no longer have them?

    i have already authorized 5 other computers that I no longer have and now cannot sync and store my music etc. on my current computer.  how can i unauthorize all other computers if I no longer have them?

    Go to store on the menu bar. Select view my account.  From there, go to manage devices.  It will give you a list of all the computer that are authorized to use your account.  This will allow you to choose which ones you want to delete.

  • Connecting wirelessly with other computers including pcs in my home network

    my home network is set up wirelessly through my linksys router with 2 pcs (vista) an ibook and an iMac. My pc recognizes the iMac but when I go to open the public folder it says "Windows cannot access...". When I run diagnostics, it says make sure you typed the path correctly (I have) and you have permission to access the shared folder (I think I do.) I have enable file sharing dvd sharing, screen sharing, file sharing, printer sharing and web sharing.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    You might look over the articles in Mac Help regarding Windows-based comps. Perhaps they would shed light on perhaps a misconfiguration in the networking.
    Mac Help is in the Help menu of the Finder. Select the index (upper right) and go to W/Windows-based computers.

  • Can no longer connect wirelessly with other computers

    I have an iMac and a Macbook Air.  For some reason I can no longer connect wirelessly between the two. They don't show up in Finder.  Therefore I can't use "Remote Disk" on my Macbook Air to install programs.
    Recently I switched from using an Airport router to a Cisco router. Could this be the problem? I can still connect to the internet through my wireless network, but can't find my computers.

    Hello,
    All the information you need is printed on the back of the Hub. There are two passwords, one for the Wireless setting (WPA password) and one for access to the hub (Admin password).
    (Taken from http://www.jarviser.co.uk/jarviser/images3/newhubpswd.jpg  ).
    If you have forgotten what you changed the admin password to, then I'm afraid you're lost and you should factory reset your Hub:

  • 5 stars not showing up on other computers when importing images that have been worked on. Catalogues settings include write metadata to xmp keywords do show up though

    our working group usually one team member imports and completes job in lightroom 5 . All settings on team computers include write metadata to xmp.  Key words show up if another team member adds the images to their catalogue but the 5 stars don't show up.
    We use the 5 stars to show images that were worked on and complete.
    Would love to sort this issue out as we rely on being able to see the star rating not just keywords.

    [Sorry for the delay in getting back.] Of the three files you included in the Dropbox .zip, 2 had no rating, and 1 had a 5-star rating (*research*.dng).  So indeed, the rating didn't get written to those two files and wouldn't show up when they were imported into another catalog.
    A couple of suggestions:
    1. Triple-check that the option Automatically Write Changes Into XMP is set in Catalog Settings > File Handling in everyone's Lightroom.
    2.  After someone sets the rating, check the thumbnail in Library grid mode -- does it have a badge in the upper-right corner indicating the metadata needs to be updated?  If it does, then that means the metadata isn't getting written immediately back to the file:

  • How to use a non-standard true type font that won't be changed by the native environment on others' computers when they open the document?

    We are using a non-standard true type font (Zurich Ex BT) when creating a .pdf document but when others view it, the font is changed on their computers.  How do we use this font and keep it from being changed when others look at it?

    This is actually good stuff and well written but I hesitate to advise people to use either the "oven trick" or really even the heat gun method as both are notriously short-lived even if they appear effective. Your far better bet is to send the board in to one of the vendors on the internet who are set up to do a proper reball. Even those fixes are good for maybe 12-18 mos. But again, you get a high grade for spelling it out.

  • Accessing iphoto wirelessly from other computers

    Hi
    I'd like to know if there's a way to access my iphoto library wirelessly using my MacBook Air.
    I have my iphoto library on an external drive connected to my iMac.
    I have a Belkin router.
    I prefer to keep one library for all my photos (as well as itunes music).
    Can wireless access be done, without using Airport and/or Timecapsule?
    Thanks
    AS

    Depends on two things
    1. What version of iPhoto you have.
    2. What you want to do with the LIbrary.
    If you have any version of iPhoto prior to iPhoto 11 v9.5, then you can use iPhoto Sharing to access the library to view it,
    If you're thinking of editing - actual photos, or even things like importing photos, adding albums or keywyrds - then you run into the standard networking warning:
    See this article
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168
    for more. Note the comment:
    “Additionally, storing the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or data loss.”

  • Wireless slows or drops when wired machine accesses internet

    This just started after updating both machines to leopard.
    I have a mini connected via ethernet to my AEBS extreme and a macbook pro connected wirelessly. when the mini accesses the internet the connection on my macbook pro either slows to almost nothing or cannot connect to server. the mini maintains a normal fast connection speed and the connection on the macbook pro looks fine in system prefs. the normal connection speed will resume after the mini has stopped using the internet for about 5 minutes.
    it seems like the AEBS extreme is giving priority to the hardwired mini but nothing in the base stations settings indicate this. any ideas?
    it's really annoying when I'm trying to work and my roommate is watching youtube or something...

    Hi… logon to router’s setup page, try changing wireless channel to 1 or 11, go to advanced wireless settings reduce beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304, change Transmission rate to 54 MBps…also try upgrading latest firmware on router, check whether it makes any difference or not.

    Hello, gushingstream. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues connecting to Wi-Fi.  I would also make sure all firmware updates have been processed on the router.

    More than likely your clients aren't all running the recommended minimum Mac G5 dual 2.0MHZ or Windows 3.0 Intel Pentium D platform required for "unlimited" data rate playback of H.264 HD content. Try limiting your video data rate to something in the 4.0-8.0 Mbps range (2.0-4.0 Mbps for even older, slower machines) and see if clients get smooth playback.

  • When to create a separate JMS Server

    Gurus
    Please provide/point to guidelines on when to create a separate JMS server within the Weblogic server 11g, the Pros and Cons of doing the same.
    From Oracle JMS Guide for Weblogic , the main value add I am able to see is the separate Persistent store and a separate logical container for JMS resources related to my project. These will be important value additions since we will be using a shared environment where artifacts from multiple projects will be deployed.
    I researched online , but could not get more inputs. Appreciate any pointers.
    regards

    There is a JMS Server and Persistent Store section in the JMS configuration best practices book.

    I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.
