Wrt310n wireless connection disappears

All,
I recently bought wrt310n. I wanted a GB switch and N wireless.
Consistently, the wireless signal will stop (disappear) then reappear, maybe. It's very sporadic and I've done about everything I know to do to stop it.
It's not interference or settings. I can get it stable for 2 days then down. Then back up...
Any clues?

Access setup page of router .....
Click on Advanced Wireless
settings>>Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation
Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings" .....

Wireless Connection Disappears

Hi everyone, I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
A few days ago I installed a new WRT150N router, hooked up my PC via wire and then two new different model HP laptops with Vista via wireless. Both laptops worked fine with four bars throughout the house; however, I powered down one laptop a night, and when it booted back up the connection was totally gone. I hooked up the ethernet cable to the router, went out to the linksysfix.com/ela site and reloaded. Everything was fine last night, but tonight the connection has disappeared again. The other laptop is doing fine and can be shut down and restarted with no problem.
Sure would appreciate any ideas! THANKS.

One thing is sure the issue lies with laptop, as other laptop is fine. When you restart laptop make sure you turn on wifi switch at front panel. Also make sure if that laptop is using hp wireless assistant then that might be causing trouble. As there would be two utilities for wireless hp's and win XP's WZC. So you have to disable/uninstall hp wireless assistant and make sure drivers of wireless adapter are still there.

Wireless connection keeps disappearing on ibook

I have an iBook G4, along with a PC laptop. Recently I've had to reconfigure the iBook network configurations almost every time after the computer has gone to sleep. It's not difficult to do, but it is annoying. The only thing that I can think is that I recently upgraded to Leopard (10.5.8). Does anyone know whether there is a glitch with Leopard that's causing me to lose my network connection?

I actually have the same problem that Hunter has. It is extremely frusterating to see the wireless connection work so well one minute then the next it does't work. I have the same model and version Router that he has. My laptop works perfectly on other wireless networks (at school, friends houses, etc.) but not here in my own house. When my friends bring their laptops over here, they don't seem to have a problem holding onto a connection with my network. Their laptops work perfectly but not mine. I recently ran a diagnostics scan on my network and this is what I got... 00000012] Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (FAILED),DefaultIPGateway = 192.168.1.1(Same Subnet) (FAILED) Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:

If anyone knows what I can do to fix this issue I would love to know. I've heard things about downloading firmware, I tried that but couldn't get it to work because it was in a BIN file and im not sure what program to use to extract that file.....Thanks

PhotoSmart 310a doesn't print using wireless connection

First... I have to say that if I had known what a HUGE pain in the butt this printer was I would never have bought it. On top of that, the thing apparently doesn't have an option to "hard wire" connect it to my computer... which the guy at the store didn't bother to point out. On top of that HP's customer service is, apparently, non-existent, as attempts to reach by phone are useless.
They can't even seem to get the model number on the machine where you can find it... so the instructions on "how to find your model number" are useless.
That said... here is my problem... which if I can't fix, I'm simply returning this and getting something else.
I have my printer all set up. Wireless is set up. ePrint is set up. Test pages print fine.
I have actually been successful printing with it ONE time.... so I know that it can do it.
It does give me a "low signal" message - however it seems to have no problem printing using the email option, or downloading from the web for the "reports." It scans and my laptop "sees" the scanned image, which is transmitted over the wireless network. If it is truly a low signal problem it seems like it would have issues with other functions regarding the internet.
BUT... when I send something from my laptop (MacBook OSX 10.5.8) to the printer it says...
.. connecting
.. idle
.. priinting (%)
.. then the print job disappears from the queue in the dialog box ... yet nothing actually prints out.
.. it then say's "Printer Ready" - I guess ready for another print job that it won't perform.
.. It does NOT give any kind of error code... say it's "paused" or anything like that. It's as if it THINKS it is printing... but it does not. It makes no sound like it's trying to print either. Paper is loaded in fine and it will print test pages with no problem and doesn't indicate any problems on those other than "low signal"
... When I use the "printer utility" to print a test page - also goes wireless - it prints just fine.
I've tried to use this printer only 4 times now for various jobs... and each time has been an ordeal lasting from 30 minutes to several hours. I've managed to get it to print on one occasion... though I can not remember how I did it.
It has NO problem printing from an email... so I guess I could just always do it that way... but it involves several extra steps to do so and I'm not even sure it would work for every type of print job I need.
It works fine scanning
It works fine photocoping
It works fine printing from ePrint (email)
It just DOES not print via the wireless connection
I don't understand how a company can make something this sophisticated and not have it give you an ERROR CODE when it fails to complete a function... and frankly, I'm fed up with this thing. It's a big, oversized, shiny paperweight and I've wasted way too much of my time trying to figure it out. This is one last ditch effort.
Can anyone help? THANKS so much if you can!
Sue

It is more likely a network problem, so please tell me about your network - router brand/model, encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc) and ISP type (DSL, Cable, etc).
In the mean time, you could try this quick trick; resetting the printing system:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
Oh, and indeed this printer does have a USB port for connection directly to your computer. It does NOT have an Ethernet port for connection directly to your router.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Hi
I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

Hi..
Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.

New 6500 E709n loses wireless connection when it or laptop sleeps... & other problems!

Just got this printer and am hoping we can get it to work because we really like it. I believe we've done everything right - it is connected to PC via USB, and to laptop via wireless network. Both computers are Dells running XP. Our wireless router is a Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G. We installed the disk on both. Immediately after installing on the laptop by plugging in USB and then unplugging, we were able to get it to work. We printed and scanned from both . . . UNTIL the printer went into power save mode.
When it sleeps it loses all the network connections (but will still print from PC). Even the icons disappear from the laptop after it sleeps. The only way to get it to work with the laptop again is to start all over, plug in the laptop, enter the WPA key again, and so on. Then it's finebut for just a short while. Now, when I registered my protection plan, I was on the phone with a techie guy and asked him if it's normal to have to keep entering the key every time you want to print, and he actually said that maybe I shouldn't let the printer sleep - wow! I want to conserve energy, so I may even want to shut it off, okay, and I don't feel I should have to go through this rigamarole every time I want the darn thing to just be available to the network. Furthermore, what's the sense of having to turn "Wireless Radio" on and off all the time???
Anyway, there are other problems and the menus in the internal web browser is about as confusing as it can be. Is the passphrase the same as a WPA key? There's a passphrase in there which I did not enter, and I don't know what it is because it's been disguised with dots. When I enter the WPA key on the front panel of the printer, it doesn't stick. One thing I noticed in the instructions is to keep telephones away from it, so I moved ours (was right next to it) but it's still being ornery.
In addition, the scan function only works from the software, not as a standalone if I use the front panel. When using the button on the front panel, sometimes it sees the laptop, sometimes it doesn't, and then it starts to scan, but a menu pops up on the computer asking to update the buttons, and then nothing happens.
Have we a clunker on our hands that should be returned, or is there a remedy? All suggestions welcome!

Let me answer the easy stuff first:
Yes, the passphrase is the same as the WPA-PSK key.
No, it's not normal to have to re-enter the wireless security key over and over again. Politely tell our service agent that he is mistaken on this point.
There's no sense in having to turn the radio on and off all the time to get the printer to remain on the network.
When the printer goes into power-save mode, can you still access the printer's internal web page by browsing to it's IP address? When the printer loses wireless connectivity, can you wake the printer by pressing any of the buttons on the front panel?
I have a couple more questions:
What WRT54G HW version do you have (it'll be on the bottom label of the router)?
What version of FW does your router have? You'll have to browse to the router's internal web page to find out.
Finally, change the WPA-PSK group key renewal period to the largest value possible. Tell if this affects the frequency of printer losing Wi-Fi connectivity?
One more question. After you have the printer connected to your wireless network and it's working, if you turn the printer off (via the power button), wait five seconds then unplug it then plug it back in and turn it on, does it connect to your network?

HP Laserjet P1102w wireless connection/print issues. Unreliable connection

I have this printer in a business public wifi network with bonjour enabled. I installed this printer wirelessly, but any time I print to it, it takes minutes before the printer will actually receive and print the job.
I have found that power cycling the printer starts the print job faster, however I would like to be able to avoid having to do this every time. I cannot see this printer from other computers, or at the IP address it has registered, either. Only in the small window of printing the job does it actually appear on the wireless network, then it seems to disappear again. If I try pinging the printer I get a response saying it was not found. Unless I ping during a print job in which case it replies with all packets sent/received correctly.
I am using Windows 7 32bit, have installed the latest printer firmware, etc.
The blue WiFi light on the printer is usually off or flickering, but not really ever solid for more than a few seconds.

Sounds like the printer is having trouble stabilizing on the network. Try following the steps in this document to stabalize the printer's wireless connection. You can also try updating the firmware to improve the connectivity. Let me know what happens.

People, help me in refining this list - did I leave something out?
P.S. I was thinking lately, why, after spending so much money, should I spend several days already, in agregate, trying to understand the issue and how it should be resolved? Have I not paid for not having such problems?

Here is a lot more:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/wirelessnetworking/topic4035.html
Highly interesting is the post of J.Exby which i reproduce here:
For months I've not been alone in holding to the notion that the airport client software on Mac OS X 10.4.x has been problematic and unstable in certain (noisy, crowded, channel overlapped) wireless environments. Issues littered around the Internet Mac forums include problems of networks appearing, then disappearing. This is a difficult problem to pin down, given the difficulty of reproducing the conditions that might cause wireless network dropouts.
A major symptom of the problem was seeing the constant messages of:
"An error occurred joining the AirPort network" (Try Again) (Cancel)
when attempting to connect to a wireless network, despite that network being seen, having correct security settings, etc.
Various temporary fixes/ideas floated around the mac community have included:
- reseting pram, nvram and PMU
- installing 10.4 from scratch, instead of 10.3 to 10.4 upgrade process
- Repairing permissions, run Combo updaters, etc
- putting system to sleep or reboot for temporary connection fix
- applying AirPort 2005-001 patch (or not)
- upgrading (or downgrading!) AirPort basestation firmware
- changing AirPort channels
- enabled (or disabling) Interference Robustness
- disabling Bluetooth and BT peripherals
- removing WEP/WPA passwords out of Keychain
- running Keychain First Aid on user/login keychains
- buying new AirPort extreme cards
- replacing AirPort base stations with other vendor hardware, etc.
With the stability of our Windows XP clients now (after driver updates) and the change from Apple base stations to Belkin Wireless Pre-N Router having no appreciable benefit for our Mac notebooks, the OS X AirPort client software suspicions only grew.
During troubleshooting I always have
Applications--->Utilities--->Console
and
iStumbler (96)
running, and I watch output as wireless scans are performed.
From the Terminal I also run:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport -s
and usually see constant
AirPortScanner WirelessScan error -2013261821 airpInternalErr
messages.
After two days of testing (and fixing?) I am even more convinced there are bugs in the powerpc 10.4.x AirPort Extreme Framework!
This is what I found:
Environment at our office:
- wireless Network A (802.11g channel 1, WPA personal)
- wireless Network B (802.11b channel 6, WEP 40bit ascii)
- wireless Network C (802.11g channel 11, WPA personal)
(WAR-marching around our office exterior shows at least 12 outside wireless networks found at various signal strengths!)
Test systems used:
- iBook G4 (10.3.x and 10.4.5)
- Powerbook G4 (10.4.5)
- Intel iMac (10.4.5)
Primary symptom on iBook: networks not displaying long enough under the AirPort icon/menu (or Internet Connect) to connect to ANY network reliably! Perhaps connect to Network A intermittently, never even see Network C.
iStumbler showing some networks respond to poll, then immediately stagnate/disappear.
Primary symptom on Powerbook: stable connections to Network C most times, difficulty "switching" to Network B or A once moving closer to source. Usually stable "seeing" networks via AirPort menu icon, but still have occasional dropouts (due to fluctuating signal strength or interference?).
Primary symptom on Intel iMac: NO PROBLEMS! Can connect to (and steadily "see") all valid Networks A, B, C !
iStumbler constantly polls all available networks, with no dropouts.
Steps taken:
1. Wipe iBook hard drive, install 10.3 from dvd. AirPort signals unreliable.
1a. Perform all 10.3.x Software updates, Repair Permissions, reboot. AirPort still unreliable.
2. Reset PRAM, nvram, PMU. no improvements.
3. Reseat AirPort Extreme card, ensure antenna is firmly plugged in. AirPort still unreliable.
4. Wipe iBook, install 10.4.3 "fresh" from Full retail version DVD. AirPort still unreliable.
4a. Perform all 10.4.5 Software (combo) updates, Repair Permissions, reboot. AirPort still unreliable.
5. Hold down the Option key, and click on the AirPort icon in the menu bar.
select About AirPort...
pay particular attention to each system showing:
iBook: AirPort Framework 421.13.0
powerbook: AirPort Framework 421.13.0
intel iMac: AirPort Framework 426.1.0
Aha! A big difference with the AirPort Framework component version on the Intel iMac!
6. So, using the Terminal let's get this newer Apple80211.framework onto the iBook.
First on the intel iMac:
cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
sudo tar cf ~/intelApple80211frame.tar Apple80211.framework
Copy this intelApple80211frame.tar file onto a USB thumb drive, CDR, iPod, scp, etc. to copy it onto the iBook (home directory).
7. With the tar file copied into the home area on the iBook, turn off iBook's AirPort via the menubar icon.
Now launch Terminal and:
mkdir backup-framework
cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
sudo mv Apple80211.framework ~/backup-framework/
sudo tar xvpf ~/intelApple80211frame.tar
Launch Disk Utility, Repair Permissions on boot drive.
Reboot iBook.
8. Turn Airport on via the menubar icon.
iBook now has HUGE improvements in wireless connectivity! It can "see" all Networks A, B, C reliably and can connect to any of them when in range (having enough signal strength). Switching between networks is successful 90% of the time. Occasional message of:
"An error occurred joining the AirPort network (Try Again) (Cancel)"
usually works after clicking (Try Again), whereas before Try Again almost always failed.
I am unsure how this newer Apple80211.framework will affect future Software Updates on the iBook, but frankly I could care less now that it's able to access all of our wireless networks!
I am unsure if this is the magic-bullet solution for a majority of people, but I'm stunned that Apple appears to be providing new and improved Apple80211.framework software with the intel iMacs, but many of us have been fighting AirPort problems on PowerPC platforms for months!
Come on Apple, OS X 10.4.5 should contain the SAME software component versions for ALL CPU platforms!

Airport Utility Disables Wireless Connection - No Connectivity Error

In setting up an AX to stream iTunes to my stereo over my existing wireless network (Netgear access point), it appears that the Airport Utility has somehow disabled wireless access for my laptop, as I now get a "limited or no connectivity" error message and cannot connect to the internet.
Airport Utility detected the AX, I set a password for it, directed it to join my wireless network, selected WPA2 encryption and entered the 26-character key to the network. AU then said the AX couldn't join the network, and wireless connectivity for the whole PC disappeared and I haven't been able to get it back.
It appears that Airport Utility somehow altered some of the network settings on my PC but I can't figure out what. I spent hours trying to figure this out last night and am at a loss. Help!

Welcome to the discussion area, mrdowntown!
When you are setting up the AirPort Express, you are using a default network provided by the Express with a name like +Apple Network xxxxxx+. You need to be on this network to be able to configure the device. Your computer was on this network.
Chances are, your PC may still be trying to access that network, and not the network that you normally use. See if that might be the case.
WPA2 Security would be used on the AirPort Express if that is exactly the setting the Netgear router is using. If the Netgear is using WPA type encryption, try the WPA/WPA Personal setting on the AirPort Express.
Unless the security settings match up exactly, the Express will not be able to join the Netgear wireless network correctly. See if you can find the settings page for the Netgear to see exactly what type of security it is using.
You'll need to "hard reset" the Express by holding in the reset button until you see the amber light begin to flash more quickly. Then try to reconfigure the Express. Unfortunately, if you don't have the right settings entered on the Express, you'll have to start all over again.

Urgent! T420 with N6205 keeps dropping wireless connection and cannot recover

Hello everyone,
I bought my T420 model with N6205 network card last December, since then, the wireless connection never functions well. Here's the problem(it happens in my apartment):
Every once in a while (normally within four to five days), my wireless connection drops automatically. It would first appear as no connection and it'll try to reconnect, then it appears as successful connected for 5 to 10 seconds(but definitely no internet access), and it'll drop the connection completely again, then automatically repeat :reconnect, drop,reconnect, drop ... never stops. Though I can still use cable to connect to my router to have internet access.
This problem occurs to none of my smartphones, ipad, ipod touch, my old laptop and my roomates' wireless devices under the same wirless environment. They always have solid wireless connection.
Of course, regular approaches have been taken trying to solve the problem:
1. manually disable wireless functionality on my T420, and enable it again
failed
2. reboot computer
failed
3. go to power manager and turn PCI express off
failed
4. uncheck allow the wireless LAN radio to be turned off when inactive
failed
5.updated to the latest driver through lenovo
failed
6. restart router
successful
So it may be that I've got a bad router? This is why I didn't post my problem in the first place, since I was hoping it may disappear with other routers.
I changed to a new router, the problem persists.
There's no way I can restart the router every time when my laptop looses connection, it'll affect the other users.
Based on the description of my problem, I believe there's a great chance there's something wrong with my T420 rather than with my router.
Is there anybody who can help me with this?
Can lenovo staff see this post?
Any suggestion about who I should turn to?
Thanks a lot.

What security mode are you using.
WPA or WPA2? You could change the router to WPA only and see if that helps. I have see some portable devices that don't negotiate the protcol properly but never a notebook. If you have Bluetooth turn it off. It seems to affect my 1x1.
I have the 1x1 card and it pretty bad connecting at 24 to 48 Mbps only with a good signal. I don't know why Realtek is used in a Business class notebook. Maybe some others can add what they have and is working 100%.

WRT310N Drops Connection

Hello,
I recently purchased a WRT310N (version 2.0) after using a WRT54GL for years.
Here are my issues with this router:
1. After updating and saving settings the router will drop its IP address and won't renew it without a reset. Connections to the router are fine, but no web access. My WRT54GL doesn't do this, both using the same modem.
2. I am using port forwarding to remote desktop into my PC. I can connect initially for about 5 seconds but then the router drops connections and requires another reset. I have reset the firmware to factory defaults twice and setup nothing but port forwarding. The disconnects still happen.
I require remote desktop to this PC for work so it's crucial we get this functioning ASAP. It doesn't make any difference whether I'm using wired or wireless connections. Issues are the same.

As you upgraded the router's firmware,I would suggest you to reset the router for 45 seconds and reconfigure all the settings again.Reduce the MTU value to 1350 and click on save settings..Under the Security tab..Uncheck Filter Anonymous Internet Requests.Power cycle the router and check..

Cannot establish wireless connection with Macbook

I bought Belkin ADSL2+ Wireless 802.11g Modem Router recently and have problems connecting via Airport.
However, the signal for the Macbook is strong and generally, I could connect for about 10-15 seconds. Afterwhich, a dialog box that states that there is an error connecting to the wireless network appears and the connection disappears.
It should not be a modem problem as I could connect to the internet via wireless on my PC and can even connect to VPN with the same router.
What could be the likely problem? Please help.
Thanks!

Thanks for reply! I have my network in preffered, and the software/laptop locks on
the network (see it, says it have excellent signal strenght) and gives note
'waiting for keys' (the WPA2 encription key is in the settings - both of router and laptop client - Odyssey).
I've got firmware ver.7 so it is probably the latest.

Getting round the leopard/router/wireless connection problem

I was completely unaware that so many people were having problems with wireless connections in leopard until last night mine died! I'm not 100% sure mine is the same issue yet, as most people seem to have been saying they can recover connection via reboots/restarts etc. We have lost our connection completely, and can't seem to recover it at all.
We have 4 macs on the go here - two running on tiger, which have no probs connecting, and two brand new machines running on leopard - one 3 months old, one 2 weeks old. both are suddenly unable to connect to the internet, yet can detect the router sporadically.
Now, the debate seems to be between those who say the router is entirely at fault, and those who say mac shouldn't be ignoring the issue, and should provide some sort of fix to counter what is presumably a fairly universal issue. I don't really mind who gets the blame but i would like to be able to resolve the issue - and seeing as i can't download any updates even if apple did make a fix, i'll have to deal with it from the router end!
so could people post up makes and models of routers that have been categorically proven to work with leopard please? and don't just cop out with airport extreme and time capsule - we can't all afford that! Any help much appreciated, and apologies for the longwinded ramblings!

I'm having the same problem as you. If you downgrade to 10.4 or boot those machines off a 10.4 boot disk you will most likely find the problem disappears as is my case. Or plug them in wired to at least get updates.
One way to rule out your router is to see if the Leopard machines can see other Wireless networks in your area (the Tiger machines should see them).
In my case my Mac Mini (running Leopard) cannot see any networks ... it just network scans and finds nothing ... although there are at least 10 networks close by as verified by my working Macs.
Once can surely assume that every router in the neighborhood didn't suddenly stop working when I upgraded to Leopard.
Interesting note everything did work for me in Leopard for a while (as was your case as well). And every now and then the Mini still picks up the router (which is right beside it).
The genius I spoke to said that this problem seems to occur with certain hardware configurations (or revisions of the airport card) and suspects a corrupt system file is the culprit ... as wireless networking and Leopard works fine for most people.

Wanting to cascade 2 Linksys WRT310N wireless routers

What would be the most likely settings for cascading a pair of WRT310N wireless routers together so that 1) all computers on the network operate as if it's a LAN, 2) all retain gigabit 'wired' capability, and 3) both routers can also be used as wireless access points (or one as a range extender to the original hooked to the modem)?
I've tried it via the AskLinksys directions with little success. I had initial success in briefly having internet on the 2nd router-equipped computer (via wired) but had no access to other computers on the LAN (i.e. could not share iTunes libraries nor do file transfers via Appletalk). Trying to follow the directions and switch the second router to 192.168.2.1 leaves the 2nd router unable to be reaccessed via browser to adjust settings. It also doesn't appear to achieve anything. I have better luck with router 2 at 192.168.1.2 in that at least you can access and adjust settings on router 2 thereafter but... after the brief success in having internet, I've not been able to get internet access on the computers on the 2nd router since (I did happen to have the 3 Macs notice each other but the 2nd pair of Macs on router 2 couldn't surf the internet).
The running tally of devices intended to be included in the network:
3 Macs (iMac and 2 mini's) -- 1 in one room with a PC, the others in another room together with a Wii.
1 PC (running XP)
1 XBox 360 (upstairs, sharing router access with the iMac and PC)
1 Nintendo Wii (sharing router 2 with the 2 Mac mini's via wireless)
I also have a pair of Gigabit switches (5 port) I am hoping to include in the network at some point in the event I need room to expand the wired access. At the moment though I'm more curious about getting both routers enabled and working. I want to have one be the primary router (connected to an Arris Telephony Cable Modem via Comcast as well as the iMac and PC and an XBox360) and the other work as a switch for additional computers (2 Mac mini's) in another room as well as a wireless access point/range extender (set forth for wireless connection to a Wii).
Both WRT310N's are running the latest firmware available (v1.0.07 build 014-LS-HNDreplace_date("Dec. 1, 2008");Dec 1, 2008).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

1. Connect your modem to Router #1 on it's Internet Port, configure the Router #1 for initial internet access(I hope it is already)...
2. Do not connect Router 1 to Router 2...Just connect a computer to Router #2 on Port1 and access router #2, change the LAN/Local IP Address of Router #2 to 192.168.1.2(assuming router #1 is running an IP Address of 192.168.1.1) and disable the DHCP/DHCP Server(Router 2) and click on Save Settings...
3. Connect Router #1 from it's Ethernet Port to the Router #2 on it's Ethernet Port(LAN - LAN Connection)...This way you will have just one network and computer's connected to Router 1 will be able to communicate with the computer's connected to Router 2...
4. You may now connect your Switch to any unused ethernet port on your router...

Wireless Connectivity problem between BT HomeHub and AirPort Express

Hi Guys,
I'm new here, and have just bought my 1st Apple product!
I'm afraid I haven't had a very good start though, and would really appreciate some assistance please.
My problem is with connecting my Apple AirPort Express ("APX") to my BT HomeHub ("BTHH") wirelessly, whilst also being able to use the internet. I can only get the internet to work, whilst also streaming music from itunes to APX, by connecting the APX to the BTHH via an Ethernet cable. Perhaps I should state my equipment:
*Room #1*
Computer: Laptop
Operating System: Windows XP, Service Pack 2
Modem: BT Homehub (the curved version with blue lights)
Above Connection Method: Wireless.
*Room #2*
Hi-Fi (Linn)
Apple AirPort Express
Above Connection Method: Digital (mini to regular toslink).
*What I Want:*
- To be able to wirelessly connect to the internet (PC to BTHH)
- To be able to wirelessly stream music to the APX from iTunes
- to be able to do both of the above simultaneously.
Problem:
Once my laptop has found the APX network, as soon as I then connect to it, my BTHH internet connection disappears. or the APX disappears and I have to do a factory restet before my computer can discover it again. (It leaves me having access to only one network or the other). Hence, I cannot stream music to the AirPort and use the internet simultaneously. One or the other. I am trying to "Join an Existing Network" via the AirTunes software.
Very depressed as I don't know much about networking and had hoped it would just configure automatically. I have fiddled but it always loses the presence of the AirPort altogether until I do a factory reset for it to reappear as an available wireless network again.
Please please help a struggling newby - anybody got an idiot's, step-by-step guide to the perfect settings? thank you to anybody who can assist.
