WRT160N Internet Connection-Can't Connect to the Internet!

Hello! My family and I just installed WRT160N V1, but can't get our laptops in synch with the wireless internet. Our main computer runs off Windows XP, while our laptops have Windows Vista. We completed the set up process, and can even choose our newly established network from a list of wireless networks on our laptops. Unfortunately, that's as far as we've gotten! Please help!

So if I am not wrong,you are able to go online on the wired computer but not able to go online on the wireless computer...If that is the case then,try to adjust the wireless settings on the router.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box.
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

  • WRE54G is already connected to WRT160N Router, but can not get access to internet?

    Hello,,,
    I have seven of rung expanders WRE54G and all settings i set as this link
    http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=4104&p_created=11611...
    * same wireless SSID name
    * same Channle  ( What is the difference between the channel number 6 & number 11 for example?)
    * security ( i used WPA2 mixed, that is not in WRE54G, so what i should use)
    * Each Expander has own IP address as 192.168.1.2 up to 192.168.1.8
    Is the gateway mean the main IP of router 192.168.1.1 ?
    all those expanders connected with WRT160N ( the Link gets Blue light)
    but my laptop can not get the IP address near of any of those expanders, to get the access to the internet!!!!
    What is the reason please?

    I am very happy to communicate with you ( I sure i can learn some thing from you my brother )
    Your words are true seven the number of expanders is not easy option
    or the cause of the success of the wireless network coverage May succeed strengthened,
    with one or two, but more than that needs to be a better distributor.
    I think I will use RangePlus WRT110 as repeater in some floor where the wireless signal
    is not can work, after connecting through the wire with the main router,
    and then I can get half the reference from the repeater when i useing the WRE54G expander
    What do you think?!!

  • Can't connect to the internet with my wired desktop computer or my wireless laptop!

    I'm stumped? Tonight I was surfing the internet when all of a sudden I lost my internet connection from my desktop computer? I tried various solutions to fix this but nothing worked? I'm currently hooked up to a wireless router model WRT160N. Here's the clincher, I unhooked the ethernet cable from the port on the router labeled "internet" and hooked it back into my ethernet port on my desktop computer and persto  everything worked fine!! I can't connect to the internet either using my laptop!? I hooked everything back up to my router and tried accessing the internet but nothing worked? When hooked up like this I lose my internet connection on my desktop computer as well??? I'm confused??? What could be causing this??? I've just recently configured my router last Satuday with the help of a Linksys technician?? I bought my router last tuesday!?! Need help here!!!! Both my laptop and desktop computer have Windows Vista Home Premium as OS.

    You need to re-configure your router...

  • WRT160N does not connect to the internet, i thought it was supposed to be simple to install!!!

     Hello I am trying to get wirelss internet in my house, so i went out and brought a linksys wireless router WRT160N. I put in the setup cd, did everything that it said and started it up, everything that was supposed to light up did, apart from the internet which stayed red. Why can i not get the internet as i did what it told me to. also in the user guide it tells you that you dont need a modem as the gateway acts as one but i have read that you do. If you do need a modem i will be very angry as this router cost me £75. i have a modem but it is a usb modem and obviously that would mean that i would need to get a new modem as there are not any usb modems. all we want to do is get the internet how can it be so hard.
    ps we have orange broadband if this helps

    To able to go Online with the Linksys router your modem should be connected to the Router. As your Modem is a USB modem so it will not work with the linksys router, Either call your ISP and change your Modem which has Ethernet Port on it. If your Modem already has a Ethernet Port, Connect the ethernet cable from your Modem to Computer and check if you are able to go online or not. If not Call you ISP and check the settings of your Modem. Once you are able to go online from your modem, then you can configure your Linksys router.

  • 10.6.8 some devices can no longer connect to the Internet

    I have a home network with two MacBook Pros (let's call them MBP1 and MBP2), two iPod Touch, and an Airport Extreme connected to a cable modem. All networking and Internet access have been working flawlessly.
    Then we updated both MBPs to 10.6.8. Now, out of the four devices, only MBP1 can still connect to the Internet. MBP2 and the two iPods can see the wireless network, but can't connect to the Internet.
    We tried a variety of things suggested in other message threads on MBP2: install the 10.6.8 combo update, fix permissions, trash preference files, to no avail. We reset the Airport to factory settings and set it up again. We ran Disk Warrior on MBP2. We have exhausted everything in our bag of tricks.
    Anyone else experience something like this?
    Is 10.6.8 a red herring, and is this due to something else?
    Help!

    Linc... I followed your advice and started looking elsewhere for the problem. I remembered one thing that was different on my laptop: some time ago, I switched my DNS settings to use Open DNS.
    So I checked the DNS settings in the other laptop and the iPods, switched the DNS setting to Open DNS, and everything works like a charm.
    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

  • Can I use apple TV on home network with time capsule or Airport Xtreme without being connected to the internet?

    I'm wondering if I can use Apple TV to play movies and slide shows on my TV, play music over my sound system and print from my devices (Iphone 4S, iPad and MacBook pro 2011) by using an Airport Xtreme or Time Capsule (to back up the devices) if those devices are not connected to the internet. Can anyone advise pls? Reason for this is that I work on a moving ship and don't have an internet connection to speak of for much of the time (and if I do it's a wireless system that I need to pay by the minute and that is too slow to support the Apple TV), but would all the same like to create a wireless environment where my devices can interact with each other. I seem to get conficting info and a rep at the apple store in Honolulu told me that you cannot use Airport Xtreme or Time Capsule without an internet connection (it was busy, he may have misunderstood my question).
    Looking forward to your input.

    Don't try to home share it.. as that is dependent on using Apple ID.
    Just airplay to the ATV.. iTunes: Using AirPlay
    The movie should play exactly as your doing music.. but get rid of the whole home share if that is causing issues.. there is no mention of needing home share in the above..
    If you still have issues you might need to do it other ways.. like export the movie from itunes.. and play it using vlc which should allow you to stream it to the apple TV using airplay.
    That is a bit tricky and I have not used that setup but it should work.
    http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/23412/can-i-stream-any-video-played-wit h-vlc-player-to-apple-tv
    If you have a hunt around you should find it fairly easy to do.. but straight airplay should work.. there is a very recent update to ATV which might help it with airplay.

  • Can no longer get my laptop to connect to the internet

    Hi,
      I recently moved my router and dsl modem after reconnecting everything my laptop no longer can acquire internet access. I have network magic on both my desktop and my wired laptop. I tried resetting the modem reseting the router. nothing seems to work.
    I have network magic version 5.5.9195.0-Pure0
    Using Windstream DSL
    The modem is a Speedstream 4200 Adsl Modem version a12
    The router is a Belkin f4d7230-4 version 7000
    The problem is present in both wired and wireless configuration.
    The desktop is using Windows XP SP 3, the laptop is using Windows 7 64 bit professional
    I am using ZoneAlarm Extreme Security.
    I am able to connect the desktop directly to the DSL modem (bypassing the router) and have connection but when I try to connect the laptop, no internet access is available.
    I am lost!!! Any suggestions??

    Hi...
    Here is one item you can check... If I am following how your home network is setup...
    Usually when this happens you have to clone your mac-address to the appliance. This can be done using the administration console on your Belkin router.
    First, attach your laptop or desktop directly to the DSL and check your connection.
    Then after you have tested your internet connection ok directly attached to the DSL router you reconnect your Belkin router and open your network connection to the web interface. (check your ip address and gateway once attached to the Belkin and see what the gateway address is - this is the ip you need to use to get to the Belkin web interface) Once attached to the web inerface on the Belkin find the "Clone Mac Address" wizard within the advanced administration settings. Then once you clone your mac address using the wizard you should be reconnected to your network like it was originally and your setup should work again...
    Hope this makes sense...
    Good luck...
    H.

  • Is anyone having a problem with the new iPad (Gen. 3) not staying connected to the charger? It seems to ALWAYS get jiggled loose and no longer be charging. My iPad 1 has no issue but I can't browse Internet w/o new iPad unplugging. Horrible!

    I notice that my new IPad (3rd generation) will not stay connected to the power cord at all, I'm not exagerating, if I plug it in and browse the Internet without fail it will become unplugged and I will have to push the plug back in (Ba-beep). Ive actually grown to despise that sound when you plug your iPhone or iPad in because it reminds me of how much money I spent on something that PHYSICALLY will not charge while I'm using it.
    I know the problem with it holding a charge while in use, I get it, the screen is amazing and it takes a lot to run the display, however, it is unacceptable to me that I can't even keep the thing plugged in while I'm using it. I can not even leave it on my Cal King bed overnight because I will wake up in the morning to find that the plug has been jiggled loose in a corner, so it's still attached but not making a connection thus not being charged. 
    I love the 4GLTE from Verizon and I love the iPad, but I'm actually using my 1st generation IPad while I am at home so I can leave my new $900 iPad on a table to charge free of incident so I can use the 4G while I'm away from wifi during the day. I have been getting more upset about this because I can not even use the Griffin extended cord to charge the iPad and be far from the plug because only the original apple sync/charge cord will have a better shot at staying in. Absolutely none of my non apple cables will stay in the iPad 3 while having it in my hands.
    The plug is at an angle, unlike the first iPad, not sure about the iPad 2. Please let me know if they have same issue.
    If anyone else is having this problem with the Gen 3 iPad please let me know because I'm tempted to do something about it with apple and I'm hoping that I just for some reason have a bad cable receiver or something and maybe I can get a replacement and enjoy the iPad as I had expected to. There is no reason why I should be even using my first iPad and I have friends that want to buy it but I am not selling it because I'm unable to sell it because I can't handle the new iPad while it's plugged in, that is ridiculous if it's a common issue so please let me know!

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • After update I can't connect to the internet in no way, shape or form

    I rarely update because: 1) something always breaks when you update (like now) and 2) I don't like to deal with new crap like GNOME 3. Anyway:
    I bought a new router (TL-WR1043N) and configured it with an old Ubuntu because connecting to 192.168.1.1 didn't work on any of my Arch Linux installations. Now... here's where it all starts... I can't use the 'n' wireless on my laptop since I have to install something to use WPA, and to install that I need to update, but I don't want to deal with GNOME 3 and Firefox >3. But I gave up eventually gave up and connected my laptop to the router by Ethernet cable. Setting that up was very easy: 'ifconfig eth0 up; dhcpcd'. Voila! I updated my whole system and restarted. To see how badly I damaged my system I opened Nautilus (I use Openbox with some GNOME programs): shock and dismay, the fonts are visible from the moon. I guess I'll have to quit using GNOME programs completely now but I expected that. I used to use KDE back in the day and when KDE4 came forth from that unholy pit, I immediately abandoned it for GNOME. This time we had more time to prepare, everybody knew what GNOME 3 was going to be. I started using Openbox quite a long time ago.
    Anyway: Now to fix my wireless right? WRONG! I can't connect to the internet on cable to get the packages for wireless. I installed Windows 7 64 on the same laptop and it connects to the cable. Ubuntu 9.10 Live also connects, but due to the changes of rc.conf and network stuff I can't connect at all with Arch Linux.
    So I decided to abandon it completely and reinstall from scratch. But the Live CD also doesn't work. With all the ways I've tried it all comes down to this:
    dhcpcd always times out waiting for a carrier and 'ip addr' shows 'eth0: <NO-CARRIER, ....' if the interface is up. I'm not sure what information I should give you, but I can't paste any here since I can't connect to the damn internet on that laptop.
    About the router: the cable is plugged on port 1 and the LED for it flashes if I reboot the computer. In Windows it stops flashing while it connects and flashes again when connected. I removed 'network' from DAEMONS and it flashes till I start it with '/etc/rc.d/network start'. This hangs for a while and returns '[DONE]' even though it doesn't work and the LED never flashes again on the router.
    In rc.conf I have exactly what the example says for DHCP. In any case, it doesn't work with the Live CD either.
    EDIT 1: From lscpi: painstakingly typed:
    06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
    07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconducctor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01)
    EDIT 2: Just to be clear: I can use the wireless on the laptop on the Live CD, but I want to use the cable because of the greater speed (94Mbit/s on cable 60 something on wireless n, 20 something on g) and because I rarely move the laptop.
    EDIT 3: lspci -v shows "Kernel driver in use: r8169   /   Kernel modules: r8169", so the driver is loaded.
    EDIT 4: So if I boot from the CD. ip addr shows:
    eth: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 1000
        link/ether 00:1d:92:...etc... brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    And  the LED flashes. When I type: "ifconfig eth0 up" it stops, never to light up again and ip addr shows: "eth: <nO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN qlen 1000
    Last edited by imtired (2011-09-08 12:36:51)

    When you're in Arch, use output redirection
    lspci >lspci.out
    then boot into Ubuntu or something where you can access the files and the BBS,  Of course, don't forget to use a new file for each command output.
    The new network config in rc.conf is not that complicated (wired anyway; never used wireless).  OTOH I've had issues on two machines where I have to restart the network daemon (rc.d restart network) or rerun netcfg (netcfg eth0) after boot to get connectivity. And I still haven't come to grips with the ip command.

  • My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet".How can I change ip address?

    My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
    Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.

    First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
    Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
    After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
    If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.

  • I can't get my airport time capsule to connect to the internet

    I can't get my new airport time capsule to connect to the internet. It works fine with my linksys router

    We cannot help with that amount of info..
    What internet type and modem do you have? Exact modem make and model may help.
    Is the linksys router also the modem? You do know there is no modem in the TC?
    How is the Linksys authenticating if it is plugged into the modem??
    If cable did you shut down the cable modem for at least 20min to change the router.. this is always required with cable system.. often the time is longer.. one hour or overnight even.

    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
