I have a WRT54G V8 that half **bleep** works when Wired to my Laptop. It goes In and out of service even thought it is Wired? I hate to see how it will be once its wireless IF I can even get it there! Also It wont go Wireless. Does anyone Know how to make it wireless and why the service is cutting out eventhough its wired.

WRT54GS Not Connecting to the PC During Setup

WRT54GS Not Connecting to the PC During Setup

I Have a laptop im trying to set up wirelessly through this Router and having problems.

Any Help anyone.. please?

What is the IP address you are getting on this PC? Check if you can ping to this router with its IP address (default IP: 192.168.1.1) if not then try resetting it for 1 min by pressing the reset button. Once you get the ping then you can try configuring the router.

Lost Connection to C&C Generals Zero Hour Online using the WRT54G v5 Wireless Network

I have this problem playing Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour online. I'm using the WRT54G v5 Wireless Network & when I'm in the game lobby, it kicks me off saying, "Lost connection to C&C Generals Zero Hour Online". This happens quite often variing on me entering & exiting rooms or other players entering & exiting rooms that I'm in. But it doesn't occur when I'm accually play a game with someone. It also does not happen at all when I'm connected directly to the internet connection so I know the network is causing it.
I've never had any problem with this game on any other wireless network types before. I've tried port forwarding with a static IP address, disabling firewalls, upgrading firmware, etc... No good. I've done some google research & found that varios other people on other forum sites have the same problem, it also occurs on another computer of mine.
Is there some kind of feature on this network that isn't on any others? One wireless network specificly that I've found that the game works on is the WRT54GS.
Any replies will be greatly appriecitated.

Maybe I would if I hadn't stopped playing the game 3.5 years ago. You may want to check the date on those previous message. But here's what I remember:
Turns out nothing worked the fix the problem. Not turning of a firewall, not port forwarding, not updating fireware, nothing. There must be a jitter on the routher that triggers the game into thinking it gets disconnected.
Many other users on the forums posted the same problem with this one router too & no one ever figured out a solution. Eventually that router broke & my family bought the WRT54GS2, which worked perfectly.

I had a problem with my WRT54GS not connecting to my inte...

I had a problem with my WRT54GS not connecting to my internet until I cloned my old routers mac address. I was using a BEFW11S4 which was bullet proof and worked for several years until I changed to Wireless G. Upon purchasing the WRT54GS and setting up all parameters exactly like I had before I could not make any connections, wireless or otherwise until I cloned my mac address to the same address as my previous router. Apparently my ISP had that mac address registered and would not properly perform DHCP even though all other paremeters were correct. I read lots of messages here on line with issues with the WRT54GS connecting and this fixed my problem outright. If you upgrade from a previous generation router (Linksys or otherwise apparently) copy your old routers mac address and clone it to your new router and you should be able to connect. This fixed my problem after several hours and days of troubleshooting. Good Luck Karnage

As an alternative to using MAC address cloning, you can phone your ISP, tell them you have a new router, and tell them to reset their system to accept the MAC address of your new router. This way, you won't have to remember the old MAC address, in the event that you need to reset your router to factory defaults.

I am unable to stream Netflix to my Iphone or Apple TV, from my wireless router . . . even though I am able to watch Netflix on my WII (also wireless) and desktop computer (not wireless).

I am unable to stream Netflix to my Iphone or Apple TV, from my wireless router . . . even though I am able to watch Netflix on my WII (also wireless) and desktop computer (not wireless).
On the Iphone and Apple TV I can connect to Netflix . . . it recognizes me and my account settings . . . and I can veiw all my recent programs and show titles, descriptions, etc.. But when I select one to watch I get a message saying:
"ERROR A PROBLEM OCCURED WHILE PLAYING THIS ITEM. TRY AGAIN LATER, OR SELECT A DIFFERENT ITEM. GO TO WWW.NETFLIX.COM/SUPPORT FOR MORE INFORMATION. (139)
Netflix support say there is nothing wrong on their end . . . that it is an Apple issue. They see the request for the show, the devices are registered . . . but it shows 0 bandwidth to the device.
My Apple TV did this when I first hooked it up a couple of weeks ago. Then after a few days started working with Netflix, for no apparent change . . . now doesn't again for the past couple of days (I think that it auto restarted the other night after a virus scan).
Very frustrating, and driving me nuts! Has anyone else had and been able to resolve this problem?

Troubleshooting
Apple TV2 update one day and netflix is browsing but not launching the actual content (error 139)
Ipad2 (another ios device) forces me to update netflix if I want to use it and I get the same error 139 on it.
**** now I have two not ways not working where prior to some update it was fine.
Nintendo Wii is still working ( mind you running an ancient version of netflix ) Dusted the Wii off and gave it to the kids use. Now they are happy again...
PC is also still working ( using some other flash client ) but that's just of interest, we're not going to be watching tv with that.
My wife's iphone 4s is still working. Odd.. still ios but for somereason I am not forced to update the version. So basically she could mirror stream up to the apple tv with it. Nice feature of Ios5. Later found out it is using 1.4 version of netflix. The most useful thing out of that is that all 3 of the devices are Ios and it was actually the iphone with the 1.4 version of netflix that still worked!
I heard from a friend who was on a different ISP he was still working so I took my appletv2 and ipad2 over to my brothers house who is on that same ISP as my friend and both started working. So the ISP is involved too!
Brought the appletv2 and ipad2 back to my house hoping it would maybe still work. No dice Broken again.
Searched the appstore for a decent packet analyzer and there isn't really anything. I was able to sniff the traffic with my PC and also on my juniper ssg5 confirmed that. Turns out port 80 traffic is actually failing and authorization is not happening. The other clients do not do this...
Asked a buddy from work who used to work at the ISP if he could make a call to some one who might actually know what is going on. He came back pretty quick and said yea they are trying really hard to get the beta patch in from Bluecoat asap.
So knowing that it was actually Netflix that changed when it hit 2.0 and in my case the ISP made the adjustment it's pretty safe to say this issue is going to be ongoing unless netflix changes again the way they authorize for licenses.
So that's the summary of what went right down the troubleshooting path but I'll tell what what didn't
2 calls to Netflix (useless... waste of time... they are too quick to blame anyone but themselves)
1 call to apple support (support call was going to cost more than it cost for me to change ISPs)
2 calls to ISP (through the normal means - regular support number)
So why is this intermittantly working sometimes? If you are lucky enough to authorize to an IP address that is not cached they voila you are going to get an authorization / a license to watch the show. Some people report after defribulating their appletv (reseting, rebooting, dns changes, you name it) they get it working. Over the past month we all seem to have got it working for some period of time only to lose it a day to two later.
It's now been several days since the beta patch to the bluecoat and 4 of us who have been communicating on the issue appear to be online all at the same time for those several days and that is a good sign that we might be out of the woods on the issue.
Hope this turns into something helpful for someone else out there.

Can I use an airport express as a range extender to a NON apple router using an internet cable (so not wireless)

can I use an airport express as a range extender to a NON apple router using an internet cable (so not wireless)

Yes, if the AirPort Express is set up to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name as the other router and the same wireless network password as the other router.

HT202157 My Apple TV will not update and it is connected via ether not wireless

I have an earlier version Apple TV and I have tried to update it several times using several methods. I am connected to the internet via ether and not wireless and teh signal is good. I can stream without any issues ever. the update is downloaded fine but not installed. I get a failure to update message. I have tried to updat normally, restore, reset, etc...... I have no more ideas.

Welcome to the Apple Community Bro.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    4.    Open iTunes.
    5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

Can't get external speakers to work (not wireless)

I have the same speakers I had with my former Mac, they are not wireless, they plug in and they are turned on and working perfectly. But my computer keeps using the internal speaker. How do I get it to "see" the externail speakers? I checked all the connections, turned the speakers on and off (They are "powered" speakers, JBL). Thanks

Thanks so much. I swear I tried this before, but saw the other person's post and tried one more time -- plugged the speaker jack into the microphone input. It worked!!! On my old Mac, they were 2 separate inputs. Mine are working fine now, I feel silly for taking up your time but I really appreciate you replying. Happy Nwe Year!! PS I did go to System Preferences but didn't see that choice; I guess I was lucky that my solution happened to be simple, probably because they were the same speakers I got for my old Mac. Thanks again!!

I can connect my lexmark printer by usb but not wireless

i can connect my lexmark printer s400 series by usb but not wirelessly any thoughts please

I'm having the same issue. On my MBP 15" OS 10.7.3 the Lexmark printer does not connect to WIFI. It works on the USB connection. In wifi however it will work on the Virtual Box Windows 7 partition.
In my logic this means the printer is properly connected to the wifi (green indicator and working with Virtual Box and Windows 7) The MBP is properly connected to the wifi network as Virtual Box works in the Mac's environment. The printer is present in the System Preferences indicating it is Idle and does have a IP address.
When I do send a document to the printer it just sits in the Que and in System Preferences the status goes to Busy. In the Que it also indicates it is busy until it tmes out and indicate that communication with the printer is a problem.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi guys, I recently got a WRT54G v5 wireless router, and when I try to play the PC multiplayer game Call of Duty 4, it kicks me for having 'No Packet Flow' and "Loss of Key Packets". I didn't get these with my other router so I know that the WRT54G is the problem. It says that you only get these problems if your router drops OOB packets which COD4 uses frequently. How do I stop the router from dropping OOB packets?

Well try reducing the MTU to 1200. And also upgrade the firmware.
To upgrade the firmware :
Connect the computer to the router.
Open the setup page (Intrnet Explorer : 192.168.1.1).
Username :
Password : admin
Go to Administration Tab. Go to firmware upgrade.
Browse and select the bin or img file thats extratcted from the download.
Start to upgrade.
Reset the router and then reconfigure it. Should work.
To check the latest firmware for ur router, click here.
Should help.

When I right click on something with my mouse(not wireless)..It opens up the previous thing I had opened rather then what I am currently trying to open. It did it before the update and is still doing it

right clicking on photos, websites etc... with my mouse which is not wireless... It reopens the previous attempts rather then the current one I am trying to see

I found this solution on another newsgroup, so I thought that I'd share it here.
Thanks to all who tried to help.
"I was also experiencing these annoying sync-problems. The cause for
this lies in nvcpl.dll - a nvidia dll, which scans for connected TVs.
The first time the dll is loaded, is at windows-bootup
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->Microsoft->Windows->CurrentVersion->Run).
This causes the first flicker and unfortunately the auto-startup-entry
can't be deleted.
The flicker when right-clicking on video-files is caused by a shell-
extension, which the nvidia-driver installs for all types of video-
files. This shell-extension calls nvcpl.dll everytime you right click a
video file to scan for connected TVs. If a TV is present, the shell
extension shows up in the context-menu as "Play on My TV". I never
tested this, but I suppose when you click it, the video is directly
shown on your connected TV.
This could have been implemented a lot better, this f...ing sync-flicker
is driving you crazy when browsing a video archive.
After scanning the registry, I found the key responsible for the shell
extension. Just search for "PlayOnMyTV" in the registry and you will
find some entries under "shellex" (shell extension). These entries
contain an identifier, {FFB699E0-306A-11d3-8BD1-00104B6F7516} in my
case, I'm not sure if this identifier is static or created dynamically,
so in your registry, it might be another number. Now copy the identifier
and search for it in the registry; delete every occurence when it's
connected to video-file formats (.avi, .mpg, .mpeg and so on) and
afterwards the "PlayOnMyTV"-shellextensions."

Recommendations needed for routers (ibook G4 + PC that is not wireless)

I have a ibook G4 (1.42 GHz PowerPC G4) and I'm running mac os x 10.4.11 and my roommate has a PC which is not wireless - we are looking for a router that would be compatible with both. Can anyone make any recommendations?

Casey, Welcome to the discussion area!
Pretty much any inexpensive wireless router would do what you require.
Also Apple's AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) and Time Capsule would meet your requirements. Apple's AirPort Express (AX) would not since it only has a single Ethernet port and therefore would not be able to support your roommate's PC via Ethernet.

HP Printer Office Jet Pro 8500 (Not wireless)

I need help for this printer but my brief details about the items I am using in my one room home office:
1    Dell 8250 (not wireless) bought in 2002.    (2)    Printer HP photosmart 7150 (not wireless). (3)    D-Link router DI 624. These two items are working with Rogers modem for internet. I also have external harddrive Maxtor 200GB attached to Dell 8250. All these items are on their own computer desk and working fine althoug the dell is getting too slow these days.
2     Bought laptop HP wireless  - Next Desktop HP m8226x  wireless (Dec 2007). Both these items are working fine on their own computer desk in same room and getting the internet via D-Link.
3    Now come my problems as HP printer 8500 bought recently in Dec/2009. I have seen others are complaining on this forum about 8500 go to sleep and remain sleeping until it switched off and switched on to work. It is a big stupid issue for which I have not seen any cure on this forum.
However, before I take this printer back to my store I like somebody who can help me how to connect networking. I am using net work cable 'cat5e' by connecting one end to D-Link and one end to this printer 8500. I am not getting any response.
I need help step by step (please) on how to make this printer networking. I did not get this info on this forum or on hp's website nor in their manual.
I still need to connect Fax set up.
I have tried getting help from hp's support but my calls goes to outside USA and Canada. Those prople are good for nothing but wasted my time asking the same questions. This was the reason I gave up using dell compuetrs and went for hp. It seems that I have also to give hp products and go for my local stores for all my future equipments.
Just for info. I have used hp printers but this one is beautiful and trouble some.
Thank You

It is not so simple as you are telling me in a line or two. I was landed in a server of DI-624 (D-Liink router). I don't explain you as there are number of instructions to follow.(I am being an old man don't remember or not able to write down everything). However, I have to give Network Name (SSID) , security type, user name and password. I went back to check my note book when I installed the D-Link and their tech gave me the name and password. But it did not work this time. I think and choose auto passphrase recommended. I did. Saved info on external drive. I got Passphrase keys and Network name. I have done upto this. I am finding it really difficult to perform the steps without step by step instructions from hp. I am not blaming you. You are a nice person. However, hps top guys I'm blaming for all my troubles because I am using their products for a long time. Why they think everybody who are using their products are experts like them? How much it cost them to give step by step instructions in their manual? It is no use I am getting frustrated as they don't care for customers like me. I am expressing my frustration in hope that they are reading complaints in this forum by me and so many others like me.
I must say this printer 8500 (Wireless) is really a good printer but we need simple instructions (step by step) to follow to make Ethernet, Fax, copy, scan, photo etc to be operative and useful.
Please don't get angry with me. You are a kind man. What do I do now? Do you have any solution for me other then returning the printer - which is very easy for me as my store is kind with me as they recognised me as their customer for over 15 years for many office items buyer. I have also bought their warranty. They don't help me to solve my problems as they are hp's problems. However, they are ready to refund my money on return of the printer.
Thank You
Thank You
