WRT160N Won't connect to wired PC

Got this yesterday and it has been great for all my wireless needs, laptop, PSP, and Wii. Today tho I ran into a problem of it not allowing the wired PC to connect to the internet. It shows a connection and shows no errors but I have intermidiate to no connection on it what so ever.
Why does it show connection but then not allow me to get online?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to configure your router manually...

WRT160N Won't Connect With Windows Mobile Device

I had another wireless router for years that connected almost instantly to my Windows Mobile 6.1 handheld device. I switched to the WRT160N and it works great with my wireless laptops. The device does not even show up in my available device lists on my Windows Mobile phone with wi-fi. I tried manually connecting and it does not work. I tried all of the other security settings, it does not work. The phone manufacturer (not the sevice provider which is Verizon) has acknowledged that they are having calls only about Cisco branded routers. Does anyone have a solution?

I had exactly the same problem. Tried the live technical support chat but didn't solve the problem. Resorted to random changing of settings and discovered if I changed the router setting Wireless -> Basic Wireless Settings - Network mode from 'Mixed' to 'BG-Mixed' my Windows Mobile 6.1 device found the network and happily connects with WPA2

Wrt160N won't connect to my hp L7880

Just hooked up a wrt160N to replace an existinfgD-Link router. Every laptop connects seemlessly, the only issue is that I can't get my HP L7880 to conect. It appears in the detected device menu but it is not highlighted like the laptops which are able to conect to the network. Thnaks in advance for any help. Paul

I believe your HP L7880 is a wireless printer -- but I don't see it listed on any of HP's help sites --- here's a link for setting up a similar model (7780) that should work for your L7880 -- http://tinyurl.com/y9srlg4
You may want to check and see if the printer's drivers are up to date also

WRT160N won't connect my desktop

I just bought a WRT160N, this isn't my first linksys wireless setup so I kind of know what I'm doing. I get the cable modem hooked up the router then the router to the desktop, plug in the router power supply but on the set-up disk when it says to hook up the power supply to the router it always comes up and says error that it cannot set up the router. The lights are all on the router, when I got to my network and sharing center(VISTA) it says limited connectivity and the line from "This Computer" to "Network" is green but from "Network" to the globe for intertet is not and there is an X thourgh the globe. Then under that for Access ---- Limited Connectivity.
Any ideas, thanks a lot.

My Wii and my Linksys WRT160N won't connect

When I try to go on to the internet from my Wii console I can only get to the point where the Wii console recognizes my network but won't allow me to connect to the internet (error code 51330).
I have tried turning the router firewall off and various other things but nothing has seemed to solve the problem...
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I had the exact same problem with this model of router and finally figured out how to fix it. First, go into your wii settings and then into the internet settings. Find your Mac address for the wii and write it down. After that you need to use the software that came with your linksys where you see the router and all the hubs surrounding it. You must log into your router and then you will see a menu that says something with "access". You will need to go there and on the second or third line there is a place for you to create a list. This is where you enter the wii Mac address. Once you do this and apply the new settings your wii should be working with the internet.

WRT160N won't connect to tv

I'm having an issue getting my tv to start connecting again to the wireless router.
Have tried pin setup (timed out & didn't connect...attempted at least 10 times in this fashion)
Have tried entering the password (router seems to refuse the connection to the tv)
About a month ago, I was in the Network Magic Map & it looked like one of the laptops had been cloned, so I removed it from the network. Could this have created the issue? How do I reauthorize if that's the case?

Are you getting an error message when you try to reconnect your wireless TV to your router? What type of security are you using on your router? I do not think that it was the case about your Network Magic. And try to check wireless macfiltering on your router as well, check if it is enabled that might be the reason why your wireless TV cannot connect anymore.
Accessing the router’s web-based setup page:
http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=3676
When you get to the setup page of the router: click on the Wireless tab and then click on Wireless MAC Filter.
Prevent - means block wireless access from the devices listed on this screen.
Permit. -means allow wireless access by the devices listed on this screen.

ITunes store won't connect via Wired connection, but will via wireless

Hi
At the moment I can't connect to the iTunes when I'm using an Ethernet connection but it works when I use wireless.
Any ideas how i can sort this out?
Thanks

Check your Preferences set up-- you may need to manually reset to the other connection.

T60 RANDOMLY won't connect to internet when starting up

One fine day this machine just stopped connecting to the Internet, either wired or wireless. I think it was a windows update to XP that caused the problem
Made it work again by loading the updated drivers:
Power Management 1.60
HotKey Features -- forget release # , but it was the latest
Access Connection 5.62
when possible I uninstalled these files before installing new versions
Reinstalled the netowrk card drivers, noting that the newest wireless driver didn't support the network card in my T60 and downgrading accordingly per the .txt file that accompanied the newest release
Everything works, sort of.
But if I shut down and then do a cold start it won't connect (either wired or wireless). When that happens you know because at boot Access Connection manager will tell me that it failed to connect. If I do a restart then it will connect (99% of the time).
I can close the lid and go into standby mode (hibernation is disabled) and when it resumes it will connect (if it was connecting before)
And then sometimes even on a Restart it won't connect, but an subsequent restart seems to work
Any ideas?
1) Could it be the order that drivers are loaded, and how would I change that
2) Could this be a sign that the CMOS battery needs replacing?
3) ??????

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I think I may have found the fix. According to microsoft the problem can arise when winsock gets corrupted, either as part of a service pack upgrade or when NORTON is uninstalled.
The fix can be found at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259#FixItForMeAlways
on that page you will find a section titled "fix ir for me" This will rewrite your winsock file. So far it seems to have worked
Cross you fingers.
You can see if this is the problem by going
control panel
adminstrative tools
component services
services local
and then manually start DHCP CLIENT (and if needed) WIRELESS ZERO CONFIGURATION
You should be ablre to connect then

My iPhone 3GS won't connect to my Linksys WRT160N v3

I have an iPhone 3GS and figured what a great idea it would be to have a wireless network in my house! So i bought a Linksys WRT160N v3 wireless router. And problems galore! I can connect to my network alright but my iPhone won't switch over to "wireless" mode if you know what i mean. It remains in "3G" mode. Not sure why it won't switch over. After doing some research, i may have stumbled upon the problem...maybe? Looking at the specs of an iPhone 3GS, it appears that it doesn't support "N" routers(i.e. 802.11 b/g - but no "N") So did i screw up and buy the wrong router? Is this router backwards compatible?
Thanks!
Dave

Same problem with Linksys WR160N and WiFi iPhone connection. No matter what you do it won't connect. It DOES for about 3min and then kicks you out, period.
I just bought this Linksys WR160N and my OLD Linksys G worked 100% better then this.

Printer won't stay connected via wired router

I have a Deskjet 1512 all-in-one and I'm having some problems getting it to work. I have Windows 8.1 and I'm connecting the printer through a linksys router via USB. The USB Control Center that I downloaded from linksys shows that the printer is connected, but it keeps connecting, then losing connection and I can't figure out how to keep it connected. So far I haven't even been able to print anything.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi @Blends412,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that your HP Deskjet 1512 printer will not stay connected via wired router. I am happy to help!
According to your printer's specifications, and user guide, this printer only supports a direct USB cable connection, from the printer to the computer. You will need a USB 2.0 printer cable. The cable looks like this.
Please see this guide, Setting Up the Printer Hardware for HP Deskjet 1510 and 2540 and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 1510 and 2..., on how to setup the printer.
Hope this resolves your issue, and thank you for posting!

Linksys WRT54GS2 router won't install software, wired connection is partially broken

Whenever I try to install my included router software, I always get an "Error 302", which reads:
1. Exit the Program.
2. Eject the Linksys EasyLink Advisor Setup Wizard CD.
3. Restart your computer.
4. Reinsert the Linksys EasyLink Advisor Setup Wizard CD.
The fact that I'm making this thread should tell you that this isn't working. I Googled around to look for potential fixes, and one person said that the software may not work with Windows 7 (which I'm using), and suggested going to http://192.168.1.1/ and configuring it from there. Problem is, I have no clue what the login information for this is, since I'm running on a university network.
To add to my misfortune, plugging my computer (desktop) into the router's ethernet port cuts my internet speed down to a little less than 10% of what it would normally run at, with the added bonus of disconnecting every 30 seconds or so.
Basically, I would like to get my router in working order, so that I may use a secured wireless connection on my PS3 whilst using a wired connection on my PC. I cannot do so for two basic reasons: The setup always results in Error 302, and the connection itself can hardly stay stable.
Some information, if it's any help:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
Model: WRT54GS2-RM
S/N: CUQ01J569884
My internet connection was in working order before adding the router into my setup.
I tried live chat support, which in retrospect was a pretty stupid idea since I disconnected almost immediately.
Thanks in advance.

First throw the CD away, it is useless. Connect via wired computer to 192.168.1.1 with username blank, password 'admin'. Now configure your router manually like normal.

HP 6520 wifi won't connect

Just took a 6520 out of the box, trying to set it up/print to it from a windows 8.1 computer, after returning a 4620 printer that had the same problem.
Ran the setup software. Setup software can't even manage to figure out what wireless network the computer it's running on is connected to - useless.
Printer can find the wireless network, and when using the wrong password, won't connect, citing wrong password.
When I use the right password, it just fails to connect.
I've rebooted my router, rebooted my computer, rebooted the printer. No good. Print doctor software is useless as it can't even find the printer.
I've turned off MAC filtering on my router, and disabled Windows Firewall. Nothing.
I have an epson printer that has no problem connecting, and every other wifi capable device I own can connect to my wifi with no problem, from both Android and apple phones to tablets to four different PCs and laptops to my freaking nest thermostat. Why can't my printer manage to just work over wifi?
I do not have a USB cable for the printer (it wasn't sold with one), btw, so trying that is out (besides, I bought this as a wireless printer, not a wired printer).
Help please.

Hi MattMihaly,
Welcome to the HP forums!
I see you have a Photosmart 6520 and a Windows 8.1 computer that don't seem to want to talk to one another. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will certainly do my best to help!
I would suggest you start by following the steps for Windows 8 in this 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Message Displays on the Computer During a Wireless Network Installati... document (make sure to follow the Option two: Connect with the Wireless Setup Wizard under Step five). If that doesn't resolve it, please try the steps under Your printer has never worked over the network in the HP Wireless printing center.
I realize you may have tried some of these steps, perhaps all of them, before but often trying them in a specific order is what makes the difference
Let me know how this goes for you!

Time Capsule won't connect to anything

I was using my time capsule for about a year and never had an issue until I moved. Now that I'm in the new house, no devices will connect to it except my MacBook Pro. Hard wired LAN or over WIFI my smart TV won't connect neither will my PlayStation or my iPhones or iPad. Nothing. Again... My computer connects over WIFI but nothing else. And nothing works directly hooked up from the Time Capsule to any device via LAN cable.

TC needs a full factory reset when put in a new network.
It remembers far too much from the previous setup.
So.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Do do a new setup .. if the modem you have is cable pure type modem.. the TC must be in bridge.. you MUST turn off the cable modem for 20min for the MAC address capture to time out.. then power up the modem and power up the TC which is in DHCP + NAT mode.
If the modem is a router.. put the TC in bridge mode..
If you run into troubles give us more info.
what modem.. make and model and type.
What model is the TC.. A1xxx from the base.
What version firmware?

Printer won't connect to wifi

Hello
I've recently bought Samsung m2020/2020w wireless printer, but I cannot seem to connect it to wifi. When trying to connect via WPS, then wireless setup light keeps flasing for 2 minutes but won't connect. Also tried to connect the printer to wifi through my PC via cable, but that gives me "general error". Sent my printer for warranty repair, but it came back as OK (they managed to connect it to their wireless networks). I've switched off my windows firewall, tried firmware update on the printer and connecting it to the router using laptop. Wifi works okay with other wireless devices such as smartphones and laptops.
Im using Cisco epc3825 router.

Hello,
what band the printer is using (2.4 or 5 GHz)?
What is the security on the wireless network that you use?
have you tried to connect the printer withour WPS?
because it gives you a general error in wired side, I think your problem is bigger than wireless-only issue.
I think it is better to move your post to the small business->wireless forms that is responsible for your device type.
Regards,
Amjad

[HP Photosmart D110a] Printer won't connect to network

Printer: HP Photosmart D110a
Operating system: Mac OSX 10.6.8
I'm living in a dorm room and trying to wirelessly connect my printer to my computer. I can't connect my printer to my university's network because it's protected. Instead I've been connecting to my printer's SSID network. I go into Settings --> Wireless --> Wireless Settings --> Wireless Setup Wizard --> the printer scans for routers, and then the SSID name comes up in a list underneath my university's closed network. It's called HPD110a.7809C6.
I connect to it, it says it's connected, but then the Wireless light keeps flashing blue. I go back to the Wireless tab and it shows that it's connecting, connecting, connecting... and then there's no connection.
My printer was working a little while ago. It's been tempermental and has occasionally worked. But since the last time my roommate used it and turned it off, it's refused to connect to that SSID network and has thus refused to work. I think I solved the connectivity issue I had before by connecting it to the SSID network, but now it won't connect.
Things I've tried to combat this issue:
Restarted the printer, both by turning it off and turning it on manually, as well as pulling the plug out of the back while it was on (I've read in my search for an answer for this problem that doing that can help some issues?) and unplugging it while it was off and then restarting it
Continuously tried to reconnect to the SSID network
Tried to enter the printer's IP in my internet browser's address bar; nothing came up, since it isn't connected
Turned off the wireless in the Wireless Settings menu, then turned it back on a half hour later, then waited to see if it'd reconnect
Reset printer drivers
Updated my ePrint software and installed all availible HP product updates
I've printed out the Network Test multiple times, and each time it's said everything passes, but that I've had numerous disconnects and that the connection is low
I even moved a music player that was near my printer, thinking that maybe the metal was messing up the connection somehow (last resort)
Changed the empty ink cartridge (last resort)
I haven't tried restarting my computer, but I don't think that's what the problem is. My roommate's computer can't connect to the printer either (she's running OSX 10.8).
I have the printer in my Printer list twice in two seperate ways: One version is connected through the IP address, and the other is an option that appeared once while I was connected to the SSID network and just became a new printer. That one includes the scan option, but the first one doesn't. When I try to print something, the first printer says "Network host [IP ADDRESS] is busy.. will retry in 5/10/20/etc seconds..." and the second printer says "Printer offline."
The same thing happens with both whether I've gone into my Airport settings in the upper right and connected to the printer as a Device or not. It still shows my printer as a Device that I connect to, even though the printer itself says it's offline.
Additional informatiom:
I don't have a USB cable for my printer, so I haven't tried that yet.
At one point during all the re-setting and restarting, I saw the printer's IP address appear in the Wireless menu as the connected network, but it still wouldn't print at that time.
That's all the information I can think of in relation to this issue; if anyone needs to know anything else, let me know. Hopefully it's enough, and hopefully someone will have the answer to my problem.
Sorry if anything is confusing or frantic; I've been dealing with this for a few days now, and I've searched all the help forums I could and looked through as many HP documents as possible, but nothing has changed the situation. This is basically my last hope.

After just switching from Cable to FIOS, I had to get my HP C4580 wireless printer back online too.
What was important was that the Printer settings knew about the IP and port changes that are impacted from the new network and router from Verizon. How to do this is in your HP printer network setup manual and handled by their driver when its installed on the PC.
If all fails, try hooking up to your printer via an USB cable and start from there. Make sure everything works wired before trying again from a wireless setup. Youll end up with two printers in your Windows Printer choices, one for USB and one for Wireless, but thats no big deal.
