WRT54G One Touch set up problem

HELP!  I purchased a WRT54G ver8 so that my mother could move her computer and still connect wirelessly.  I can't seem to maintain a wireless connection.  Based upon things I've read on the community forums, I have disabled anti-virus and Sygate Firewall.  I reset the router (pushing the reset button and powering down the router).  I have upgraded the firmware.  The one touch setup button is frequently orange, instead of white.  Does this mean that I have to change some setting or could the router possibly be defective?  I know just enough to be dangerous, but I am no expert.  So please keep your responses in layman's terms. Thanks!

You'd be better served manually configuring the wireless settings and skip the whole one button thing all together. with a computer directly wired to the router, open your internet browser type in http://192.168.1.1 Then click on the wireless tab in wireless security tab you can set your wireless security type. I usually go with WEP and 128 BIT encryption. You can type in a word and click generate You will want to print out the first key on the page that gets generated so that you can enter it into the laptop. Then on the advanced wireless tab at the bottom of this page the secure easy setup change that too disabled.

  • Maxtor one touch 4 750gb problems on Leopard

    I've installed the 'maxtor manager' software but it does not detect the drive.
    Also I can not eject the disk since presumably the stupid maxtor software is trying to access it. Does it work for anyone else ? How can I remove it ?

    thanks, I have just called Maxtor support, and managed to get straight through on a freephone number, how good it that ?
    They say that maxtor manager is not compatible with Leopard, period.
    Apparently TM is just as good as the SW with the Onetouch so I get the impression that there is not going to be a fix forthcoming The drive works fine other wise
    Yes, this is my experience - it's not the drive - only the software.
    I should point out also that the nice chap showed me how to remove the software as well, being a bit of a Mac Newby. , never though of dragging it to the trash.. too easy perhaps !
    It's good to know that Maxtor support is alive and well.
    TimeMachine will work fine with your drive. As I noted, it works on my old Maxtor 160GB drive.
    Mac is quite good in removing most programs simply by dragging them into the trash. However, any program or app that asks you for your password when it installs will leave some traces floating around. Some apps have an uninstall app that goes along with them.
    You might use the spotlight search using a keyword like Maxtor and search for any file content with those words, just to know if anything is left on your system.
    Dragging into the trash does get rid of most of the program, if not all of it.
    You might consider partitioning your Maxtor and letting TM use, say 600GB, and leave 150GB for storage of other stuff.

    I have 3 ipod touches.  Just got a new one and set up an apple id for it.  But when i use the ipod to go to store to make a purchace.  It tells me to sign in, and brings up an Apple ID and ask for password.  the problem is the Apple ID its bringing up is for my other Ipods.  How do i change it to bring up my id i set up with That ipod.  I never once put that id into the current ipod.  Like i dont even know how it got there.

    This is what yo have to do:
    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign in with the other account.
    That is the only place.
    Try signing out. Then
    Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

  • Problem with One Touch Access for N95 8GB

    Hi,
    I'm having problem connecting my N95 8GB to the Internet via NSeries One Touch Access PC Suite using my Bluetooth. I can connect via cable but bluetooth I cannot.
    This is the error message giving me:
    "Failed to connect to the network! One Touch Access could not connect to the selected device."
    Pls help and advise. Tnx in advance.
    Br,

    I found a situation where your error message appears. It is the case when the nokia is connected using the data transfer mode and simultaneously the OneTouch Application is started. Then the device is not recognized by the modem software. The PC Suite mode is required for the OneTouch Application.
    In my situation I think I already saw all of the possible error messages described in the documentation during the various experiments.
    For example I tried to uninstall and reinstall the cable drivers. Unfortunately the driver page of N95 8GB does not include them only the page of N95. This was a step towards success - what concerns the OneTouch Application.
    Sometimes it is useful to switch off and on the phone, specially when it is not possible to connect with the modem driver.
    In my opinion the possibility of completly uninstalling the Nokia Suite is missing. You can uninstall all parts but after reinstallation the Nokia Phone Browser is no more available, the icon is not displayed. All the software packages are working fine even the modem drivers but not the Phone Browser.

  • Problem with One Touch Access and N73

    I have:
    * Windows Vista SP1
    * PC Suite 7.1.18.0
    * N73 phone
    I want to use my phone as a modem, but after Windows upgraded to SP1 clicking the connect button in One Touch Access results in immediate disconnect message. I tried reinstalling PC Suite 6.8 from the CD I got with the phone and finally upgraded to 7.1.18.0 but the problem still occurs. Any solution to this?

    I've been having this problem for 4 months now and it totally prevented me from using my phone as a modem. But today I accidentally stumbled upon the solution for my case. I discovered that what kept blocking the one touch access from connecting to the phone was the feature called User Account Control, in windows vista. You can turn this feature off by going to the User Accounts. The last option there reads Turn User Account Control on or off. Open it, uncheck the box (Use User Account Control UAC) and click ok. Et voila!
    My one touch access worked smoothly thereafter.
    Let me know if it works for you too. Good luck

  • E71 one-touch key reverts to default setting

    Hello,
    Could someone who has a E71 (or E71-3) please try this? I'm wondering if it's a fw bug, or something with my phone only:
    Menu->Tools->Settings->General->Personalization->
    One-touch keys->Messaging key->Short press
    Select "Camera", or "Clock" (I'm actually trying GMail, but maybe you don't have it installed).
    Go back to the main screen, press the Messaging one-touch key.
    I get:
    "Item no longer available. Restoring default key setting"
    I found a similar report for the E65 on the web (no solution).
    The local Nokia support asked me to "send the phone to a repair center" because at the support center they "don't have a E71 to try that" (!!)
    Mine is a 10-day old E71-3 (850/2100, Brazilian WCDMA band), 100.07.76 fw (no update available for its 0567733 product code).
    Any hints?
    Thanks!!

  • N95 software update - one touch connection problem...

    I was having problems connecting my laptop running Windows XP Professional to the internet via bluetooth, so i updated the N Series PC Suite Software. Now I can connect to the internet via bluetooth but cannot connect via USB cable. The One Touch Connection Wizard only shows the bluetooth connection in the dropdown box, even though my USB cable connection is recognised in the Get Connected Wizard. Can anyone give advice how to solve this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You should only get that message when you are trying to create a new account.
    Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.

  • E72 - One-Touch Keys Problem

    Hi all,
    could someone with an E72 try to assign to one of the one-touch keys (e.g. the calendar key) an application which is not one of the default ones.
    When I try to assign one of my own applications, I don't see them (only the default applications are shown).
    This was working perfectly on my other E-Series phones (E63, E55).
    Is this a general problem or is it just a problem with my phone?
    Thanks in advance

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks for trying to help me.
    That was a strange problem. I had to change the phone language to another one and then back to the original one. After that I could choose my own applications again for the One-Touch keys.
    Never had this problem on my other E-Series phones.
    Anyway, problem solved.

  • External USB Maxtor One-Touch 3  suddenly fails to mount on MacBook Pro:

    External USB HD suddenly fails to mount on MacBook Pro:
    My One Touch III 600GB drive, external power supply, suddenly will not mount and is not recognized by the system profiler or Disk Utility, however, drive, connected USB, appears under windows XP.
    1. Power cable and usb cable working.
    2. Using external AC adapter(not relying on USB power).
    3. Other USB devices, mice, flash drives work on both USB ports.
    4. Drive works on Windows, folders and data integrity ok.
    5. Drive format is NTFS.

    Questions:
    1. Does Apple set sleep or lock switch for devices (drives)?
    2. If so, can it be reset manually?
    3. Does Apple have configuration profile for devices, like a registry key?
    4. If so, where is it located?

    NOTE: This Update is required when using a OneTouch Drive as a bootable device. Seagate suggests that you dismount and disconnect your FireWire Drive before continuing.
    Users have identified issues when connecting OneTouch External Drives to FireWire Ports on their Mac G4 and/or G5 computers. These Problems range from system hangs, kernel panics to slow data transfer rates. The cause of these problems has been traced back to the FireWire Driver. Seagate has resolved these problems through updated FireWire Drivers.

  • HT4145 How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? I get a message saying it cannot be extended. Thank you. Arup

    How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? As we live in a rural area and our landline broadband speeds are awful, I have moved on to a 3G provider in the UK (EE/Orange) and set up the wireless modem which is working very well with an iMac. I have an Airport Extreme base station which was previously connected with an Ethernet cable to the landline router, and two Airport Express stations as Range Extenders. I would now like to use the Airport Extreme and the two Express stations to extend the range of the Alcatel WiFi device. I have tried automatic and manual set up with the Airport Utility but at the crucial step for selecting a network to extend, although the WiFi device is recognised, I get a message saying it cannot be extended.
    Thank you for any help you can provide.
    Arup

    This is a problem with a lot of cheap end wifi hotspot like devices.. sometimes you can just swap the sim out to a real 3G wireless router.. that is a better approach IMHO than wireless repeater ever will be.
    In the meantime..
    Have a go with the suggestion.. place the express as wireless bridge. With a computer connected to the wifi from alcatel unit.. (I am amazed Alcatel still are in domestic market.. I thought they sold out). Set the express to join the wifi.. you do this in the airport utility.. old one is easy.. but in v6 you have to trust to luck so to speak and hope the auto setup works.. tell us if you have trouble.
    With the Express bridging.. you can then plug it by ethernet into the TC.. which will be in router bridge..
    ie
    You can then run the connection from wireless or ethernet on the TC.. and it will relay back to the alcatel for internet.. all a bit dodgy but who knows.. it may give you what you need.
    Wireless repeater is never particularly reliable in my experience. I would avoid it if possible.

  • MAXTOR ONE TOUCH III 1TB 1000GB EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE on MacBookPr0?

    Need more Ext HD storage for iTunes on my MBPro Is anyone using a MAXTOR ONE TOUCH III 1TB 1000GB EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE this drive on MacBookPro, is it any good? Advise

    The Maxtor one-touch models, comes with a EMC Retrospect startup item to run its backup software. I tend to disable this functionality, as it often is not updated for the operating system actually being run and can cause problems with setting up. Instead, I use Shirt-Pocket Superduper for backing up. I'm not sure the Maxtor is bootable on a MacBook Pro, but when you first get it, you'll want to reformat it with Disk Utility to have a GUID partition for optimized backing up for the MacBook Pro.
    If you plan to use it with a Windows machine, you'll not be able to use it for full backing up, but at least data files will store on it, if you format it FAT32. Your alternative is still to format it GUID, but get MacDrive by Mediafour for your Windows machine to be able to read the drive, or network it use the built-in networking of the Mac as described here:

    If you aren't, well the above paragraph is just extra non-essential info!

  • JSplitPane divider (One touch expandable)

    Hi all,
    I am having some problems with the JSplitPane divider. I am using onetouch expandable.
    I want to stop the divider moving all the way up to the top of the window when the up arrow is clicked on. When you drag the divider up it stops near the top but doesn't go all the way up. but click on the up arrow on the divider bar and it rises completely to the top. How can I stop this from happening.
    I have managed to add an action listener to the buttons on the divider bar, In the action listener I do the following - splitPane.setDividerLocation(0.1);
    splitPane.updateUI();
    This works but then an exception is thrown -
