WRT160NL Setup Disk Fails

Hi,
I just bought a WRT160NL ... well actually, I just came back from the store with my second one and am having the same problems this time as the one I just returned. I follow the instructions on the set-up disk program and then when it gets to Step 4 "Plug your router into the wall" and it starts to try and find the router.... it just never does. Everything is plugged in right, it just doesn't find the router.
Any help would be much appreciated, I'd really like to just chunk this thing at the wall at the moment
Thanks,
Mike 
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The odds of buying two defective routers in a row are pretty small.  This is most likely a problem with the router and/or modem settings.
The setup disk does not work for all types of networks.  Since it has failed twice, stop using it for now.
1)  Please state your computer operating system.  Also state operating system of all computers you have easy access to. 
2)  Did your ISP give you a User Name?  Password?  IP address?  Subnet Mask?  Default Gateway?  DNS server address?
3)  Please state your ISP
4)  Please state the make and exact model number of your modem (not the WRT160NL).
5)  Please do the following test:
Power down your entire network.  Using an ethernet cable, connect your modem directly to your computer.  (Do not use the WRT160NL for this test.)  Power up the modem and computer.  Verify that you have a working Internet connection, then proceed with the following:  (Even if your Internet connection does not work, state this, and proceed.)
Go to "Start" > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
A black DOS box will appear. Type in "ipconfig /all" (with no quotes), then hit the Enter key.   Copy all the results to your next post.  To do the copy, highlight the results, then use the copy (Ctrl-c) keys and the paste (Ctrl-v) keys.  If your "IP address" does not start with 192.168 , then for security reasons, erase the last half of your IP address.

  • The attempt to burn a disk failed. An unknown error occurred (4000).

    Whenever I try to burn a CD from iTunes, the burning process starts and continues for about two minutes, cancels automatically and then displays the following statement: "The attempt to burn a disk failed. An unknown error occurred (4000)."
    Several Apple technicians have tried but been unable to assist me. They have pointed me to articles at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93360 and http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93286 but none of the suggested solutions solve the problem.
    1. I have the most recent version of iTunes (6.0.1).
    2. All of the songs that I am trying to burn are authorized. For example, they include the Complete U2 Collection, which I recently downloaded from the iTunes Music Store.
    3. I am not trying to burn a CD with the same Playlist more than seven times.
    4. My CD burner works perfectly fine using other CD burning software, such as Windows Media Player or Roxio Easy Media Creator. However, these programs are not compatible with any of the many pieces of music that I have purchased and downloaded from the iTunes Music Store.
    My hardware configuration is as follows:
    Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
    HP Pavilion 061 PJ467AA-ABA M1180N
    iTunes 6.0.1.3
    CD Driver 2.0.4.3

    Found aspi32 running.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can restore my ability to burn CDs from iTunes? Thank you very much!

    I am having the same problem. I get an error 4450 - unknown. I have purchased several songs but it appears I will not be able to burn them to CD.

  • Trying to reinstall CS5.5 Master Collection from DVD media on Windows 7 64 bit - setup.exe fails due to msxml3.dll error PDApp message [FATAL] PIM - Failed to Create XML instance : DOMDocument40 ADXML::initWithXMLPath Error:80040154

    If anyone is able to solve this they are a genius (or I am doing something very stupid!)
    I am trying to reinstall CS5.5 Master Collection from DVD media on Windows 7 64 bit PC but setup.exe fails due to a msxml3.dll error.
    Following a big bundle of recent Windows 7 updates, I started getting 'bad image' msxml3.dll error messages when opening any CS5.5 master collection program (Eg Premiere / Photoshop / Illustrator / Dreamweaver). Following advice on some threads here I tried uninstalling and then using the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool to clean up install, then reinstalling from my original DVD media.
    Whenever I try using run setup.exe from installtion disc 1 the installing fails due to 'Missing files'. I have also tried dowloading trial versions and runing setup.exe fro mthe downloaded files but i still get the same message.
    I have searched the forum and others have experienced this error but none of the solutions I have found seem to be working for me - as many seem to relate to download installations whereas I am installing from original DVD media (which worked fine before on the same PC)
    These are the FATAL messages from the PDApp log
    12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] PIM - Failed to Create XML instance : DOMDocument40 ADXML::initWithXMLPath Error:80040154
    12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] Setup - Could not initialize ADXML object
    12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] Setup - Unable to initialize. Error parsing setup.xml file
    The PDApp troubleshooting seems to indicate that this is caused by error in downloads but I am getting it with both original media DVD and downloads.
    I have also tried using my logon (which has admin privileges) and under our main admin account - and I get the same errors.
    Is a clean install of Windows 7 + CS5.5 my only option?
    Any help / info / advice / solutions very much appreciated! I have spent the last 2 days trying to sort this out and seem to be getting nowhere.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply kglad - much appreciated.
    I have already tried that option (along with downloading files) as it was one of the solutions mentioned on other threads, but that also failed.
    Any other ideas?

  • Very sick Macbook Pro OS v 10.6.8 - initially running slow so I tried backing up to Time Machine and reloading the OS but the install disk failed. I was able to recover from the Time Machine back up but many applications are not working properly. Help!

    I am also no longer able to back up using Time Machine (backups fail), can't access iPhoto (which was a problem before attempting to reload OS) and I suspect other apps are no longer working. The computer is however running faster in Safari and Mail...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    If there are any files you can transfer to  a regular storage drive do that first and then disconenct all drives.
    Hold c boot off the 10.6.8 disk and use Disk Utility to Erase with Zero option the hard drive, takes some time, let it complete as it's mapping off any bad or failing sectors.
    Then install 10.6. log in and update to 10.6.8 (important!)
    Now use Migration Assistant to transfer over just your user files, we need to rescue those first out of TimeMachine's EVIL clutches, once you've got that, transfer them to the regular storage drive and disconnect.
    Note: if your 10.6 disk fails, call Apple for a replacement, you need the machine specific version, the 10.6.3 retial doesn't have iLife and only works for machines pre 10.6.3 release, not afterwards. Factory installed 10.6.4 machines and afterwards need machine specific disks.
    Then either:
    Log into the admin/first set up user on the machine and delete the Migrated user, then reboot and use Migration assistant again to TM everything this time
    Or
    Just install all your programs again from fresh sources.
    If your TM drive is really hosed, then you'll need Data Rescue $99 to read the TM files directly and transfer the results to another regular storage drive (not the first one just in case), then pick through the debris and locate your files and transfer them to another drive.
    I don't like TimeMachine, but for newbies it's better than nothing.
    (I prefer cloning my entire OS X parititon instead, I can access it from any computer (Linux, Mac or PC) and I also can boot my Mac from it. I use Carbon Copy Cloner, but that's for later once your all better. )

  • Attempting to copy to the disk failed. An unknown error occurrred (-51).

    I have tried resetting my 20G iPod, as well as re-downloading and running the iTunes and iPod installer. If I delete something off of my iPod, unplug it, and then plug it back in again, the song name is there again, but this time it has an exclamation point next to it and it won’t play the song. It plays the rest of the music fine through the computer and through my stereo (I was having some problems with it skipping to the next song in the middle of a song, but I reset it and haven’t had the problem since). I don’t want to have to restore the iPod for the simple fact that I didn’t take the time to backup all my music. That would be a pain. Also, something else I’ve noticed is that I can actually hear its hard drive now kicking in and out when it’s really quiet and plugged into the computer. I hope that I just never noticed that before.
    Without having to restore, is there anything else that I haven’t tried? HELP!!

  • How to Get New Windows Setup Disk

    I got an r61i with Windows XP a couple of years ago.  I purchased another hard drive and installed Linux on it.  That is what I normally use, but, I kept the drive with XP when I need to use Widows.
    I seem to have lost the drive with XP on it.  I guess I'll have to get another drive and get a new setup disk, but, I can't find out how on the Lenovo site.  I bought the computer new (through CDW).   I saw another post where someone with the same computer downloaded Windows XP, but, I can't find any mention on the Lenovo site of either obtaining a CD or downloading.
    Does anyone know?

  • Why do I keep receiving the error message: disk failed image corrupt

    I am trying to upgrade my version of Firefox from 2.0.0.2 (downloaded Nov. 2007) to the new version 3.6.12. on my IMac desktop computer.

  • Attempting to copy to disk failed.

    I was using my iPod in cold weather the other night. The battery died and when it warmed back up the screen was in grayscale and it was in "disk mode". I have since restored it several times and am trying to sync it with iTunes. I keep getting an error message "Attempting to copy to disk failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation". The iPod was syncing just fine prior to the cold crash. I tried changing the permissions in my iTunes music library and xml file. Help?

    First, reset the iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    and restart the Mac with the iPod connected; then try it again.
    If that does not help, connect the iPod to the Mac. With iTunes not running, run Disk Utility. Does the iPod's hard drive appear in the Disk Utility sidebar? If so, select the iPod's DRIVE, not the volume indented under the drive, in the sidebar and go to the Erase tab. Set the format type to +Mac OS Extended (Journaled)+ and erase the iPod's drive.
    If the erase completes successfully, quit Disk Utility and run iTunes. Immediately use the Restore button to install and initialize the iPod's software. You can then set it up and sync it as desired.

    I just moved into a new apartment and my father had an extra wireless router lying around but misplaced the setup disk. The only time I have ever set up a home network it has been with the use of an automated setup wizard. Is there any way I can download this software, or someone can give me step by step instructions on how to get this thing up and going?
    Any help would be much appreciated!!!

  • Setup disk once again

    Hello i have one question about my setup disk.I have PC I7 [email protected], 12GB DDR3 and three disks.Two new seagate 3.5 500GB 7200.12 and one external disk 2.5 Seagate 7200.4 ESATA connect. How i setup this disk to work in premiere  CS4 ?? RAID0 helpful ?? I think about this configuration:
    RAID0 from two disks 3.5 and partition this:
    50GB: SYSTEM + OS
    150GB: Render files, scratch files, project files
    800GB: media files
    External disk: Export media files
    This is it good ?or maybe this configuration:
    No raid and:
    DISK 1 3,5:OS + PROGRAMS+ PROJECT FILES+SCRATCH FILES
    DISK 2 3,5: MEDIA FILES
    DISK 3 2,5: EXPORT FILES
    I read FAQ but there is no solution for two disks. I know that partitioning is no good.I have one question about preferences: Optimize for memory, or for perfomance i CHOOSE ??
    I will work on AVCHD files from panasonic 151E
    My english is no good and sorry for my mistakes
    Best wishes

    DISK 1 3,5:OS + PROGRAMS+ PROJECT FILES+SCRATCH FILES
    DISK 2
    3,5: MEDIA FILES
    DISK 3 2,5: EXPORT FILES
    I would use the following setup:
    Disk 1 3.5: OS & Programs
    Disk 2 3.5: Project & Media
    Disk 3 2.5: Export & Scratch
    I would refrain from partitioning and possibly get a Velociraptor for OS & Programs and then use:
    Disk 1 Velociraptor: OS & Programs
    Disk 2 3.5: Project & Scratch
    Disk 3 3.5: Media
    Disk 4 2.5: Export
    Hope this helps.

    i deleted photobooth by accident and i have tried to get it back with the setup disk, i got imovie and garageband back but not photobooth. Any ideas?

    PhotoBooth is not on the iLife disk which has iMovie and Garage Band.  PhotoBooth is integrated into OSX, so it's not going to be easy to get back.  You'll need to get it from the recovery disk or partition.  Which OSX are you using so we can point you in the right direction.  NEVER delete any of the OSX programs.
