Wrt54gs & secure easy setup.

For some time I had problems getting my router to see my WUSB54GS but after a couple of months  laying in the wardrobe I decided to dust it down and try again.
reluctantly after a few hours it gave up and let me connect my two PCs together.  HAPPY DAYS.  The Internet was a bit slow on the second PC but it was working.  this PC could see and view the shared folders on the other but alas it couldnt see this one.
I persisted until this morning when suddenly the 2nd PC could not connect.  I tried everything but it could see 3 or 4 other networks but not it's own.
I eventually traced it down to the fact that the SSID was changed and the encryption method and key.  How did it change overnight with both PCs off?
I ended up running the installation software again but when it asked for easy secure to be pressed then the lights all flashed, the yellow LED went out and now refuses to come on again!  the USB device says that the easy secure is not available.
What have I done?  I'm used to working on PCs but networking is relatively new to me.  Switching firewalls off only reduced the internet to an absolute crawl and they still couldnt see each other.  all I wanted was a wifi connection to allow me to transfer files between PCs and maybe even run a LAN to game with but it's getting so difficult that I'm once again thinking of the wardrobe again or better still eBay.
TIA.

That means the SES feature of your router is active. Your router wireless settings are randomly generated by the router and not personalized. For example, your wireless network name (SSID) might be linksys_SES_187498 ......

  • Secure Easy Setup Help WRT54GS

    Hi,
    Was wondering what it means when the Secure Easy Setup button on the router remains white.. It usually goes to yellow after the flashing, but this time it remains white...
    Everything seems to be fine on the wireless network, it's just not going back to yellow for some reason...
    I've tried pressing it again, but there is no change.....
    Any input would be greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks,

  • Can someone explain why the Secure Easy Setup light on a...

    Can someone explain why the Secure Easy Setup light on a WRT54G would change from a steady green to steady orange after firmware upgrade?  Everything is connecting properly, and I see no change in performance of network other than light change described.   Thanks. 

    The way I understand the Secure Easy Setup button is this.
    It will be orange when the router is in normal operation mode. The light turns green when you press the Cisco Systems button (that is orange normally) so that the router will search for the web device you are trying to connect to the router. If you want to disable this feature all together go into your router settings page at 192.168.1.1
    Go to the Wireless tab, and then the Advanced Wireless Settings sub-heading, once in there look for the option SecureEasysetup and simply set it to disable (enabled is default) then click the save now and apply the settings. The light should be out now meaning you don't have the Secure Setup feature enabled.
    It is just a personal choice to have it on or off, it should not affect router or internet performance unless you hit the button trying to connect a device to the network.

  • Added a scanner with Secure Easy Setup and my wireless network has disappeared?

    I just replaced my fax/scanner.  I have a secured wireless home network.  I installed the fax/scanner with Secure Easy Setup.  The fax works - but my home network as disappeared!!!  Where did it go?  Do I have to start over and reinstall my whole wireless network?  It took me forever to get it working the first time!  HELP!!!

    when u run easilink again it will give you the chance to change some settings wirelessly, it could be that you have changed some settings and missed that part...
    you could check that by accessing the set up page of the router 192.168.1.1

  • Secure-Easy-Setup Error?

    What happened was that when to go powercycle my router, I accidently pressed the Secure-Easy-Setup button. 3 seconds after I had un-pluged the router, I realized that I had had my hand on the button and was pressing it. I quickly let go and pluged my router back in. It still runs, but now I can't acess the internet on any of my computers. My iPod shows that a new network is present, but I strongly believe that it is my network, but reconfigured and renamed.
    What do I do to fix this?
    It is a:
    (Linksys/Cisco)
    Wireless-G
    Broadband Router
    Model: WRT54GL (EU)

    Press and hold the reset button in back for 30 seconds and release.  Wait 30 seconds and power cycle the router.  Connect via a wired computer to 192.168.1.1 username blank, password 'admin'.  Reconfigure your router back.

  • Secure easy setup button on wrt54g v8

    where can I find an explanation of what this button does and how it can help me print wirelessly to my HL-2070N brother printer.
    What appears to happen when I press button is it flashes for a little while not long and then stops and remains lit.
    What does that mean and what is it doing? I still cannot print to my 2070N

    Okay Linksys understands there are dolt like me out here who can't figure out how to configure so this magic button is suppose to press at same time as something at http://192.168.1.1 except when I try to go to link I get The connection has timed out The server at 192.168.1.1 is taking too long to respond. * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • E2000 won't connect to laptop using Easy Setup Key

    Running Win7. When trying to connect Lenovo laptop to E2000 with Easy Setup Key, the progress bar hangs at 25%. However, the E2000 will connect to the laptop with an Ethernet cable. Same problem on both of my Lenovo G555 laptops. Any ideas?

    I have heard about this concern with Atheros adapters and where it cannot connect with WPA or WPA2. Check if you set the security to WEP if it will connect. (Usually it does). And better check for updated drivers from this website. http://www.atheros.cz/ (manually update the drivers). The automatic update with windows will most of the time load the same driver version. So it would be best to update the drivers manually.

  • I changed my WRT54G security settings from WPA to WEP

    I changed my WRT54G security settings from WPA to WEP and now one of my latops (Dell 5100) will not connect wirelessly. It is using a linksys wireless-B notebook adapter. I am at a loss at how to reconnect this to my wireless network.

    Go to the setup page of the router on the wired computer and click on the Wireless tab,check the network name(SSID),change the Wireless Channel to 11-2.462 GHz,Keep the SSID broadcast enable and click on save settings...Click on the subtab Wireless Security and change the Security mode to WEP or WPA as per your requirement.If you are using WEP then,note down the KEY1 as the network key(case sensitive)...
    Now,on the laptops,delete the preferred network and then,try to connect the Wireless Network.

  • Error: You must have at least 1 Easy Setup File?

    I just upgraded from FCE 1.0.1 to FCE HD v3.0. I have Quicktime 7.4.5 & OS X 10.4.11
    When I launch, it takes forever because it's trying to load all my audio plugins into it and then at the end of that I get this error message:
    Unable to start Final Cut Express HD. You must have at least 1 Easy Setup file. Please re-install Final Cut Express HD and try again.
    Since it takes so long to install and I've already done it twice now...to no avail mind you...I was wondering if a guru or enlightened person would fill me in with what's going on and what I might do about it?

    You may as well get rid of everything as we don't know where the problem lies.
    This says FCE 2 but it is for FCE 1.0.1 as well. Remember many of the FCE 3.0 and FCE 1.0.1 files will be the same/shared.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93690
    When you reinstall, do not install FCE 1.0.1.
    Simply install FCE 3.0 and you will be asked at some point for the FCE 1.0.1 serial number as well.

  • DVD capturing - What setting on Easy Setup?

    Hello,
    I'm caputuring video from my DVD player which is : connected RCA to a Canopus converter box : out firewire and into the Macbook.
    When I capture the video, I get the message saying "Audio/Video rate may not match sample..." after I'm finished capturing.
    I have no idea which setting in Easy Setup to choose from.
    It is currently set at: DV - NTSC 32 kHz
    Any suggestions?

    If you are capturing via a box like the Canopus ADVC-110 (any model, actually), you should use the DV NTSC DV Converter easy setup. (Assuming you're in the US, that is.) Select this easy setup BEFORE you create a new sequence and/or try to capture anything from the Canopus. Also make sure that the Canopus box itself is set for NTSC, not PAL.
    You should NOT use the DV NTSC 32KHz easy setup.

  • FCP 7.0.3 Easy Setup audio setting issues

    I have created two custom Easy Setups.
    SD:     DVCPro50 PAL with audio set @ 48.000 kHz, 16-bit, 16 chan
    HD:     DVCProHD 1080i 25fps with audio set @ 48.000kHz, 24-bit, 16 chan
    I open FCP, load the SD easy setup.  I then click on Audio/Video settings.
    Select "Audio/Video Settings" and view "Capture Presets Summary"
         - Audio format is listed as 48.000 kHz 16-bit 16-chan
    Select"Edit" and "Capture Preset Editor" comes up.
         - UnderQuicktime Audio Settings:
              - Device:  AJA Kona 3
              - Format:  48.000 kHz 16-bit 16-chan
    If I then select the HD Easy Setup, and then "Audio/Video Settings"
    Select"Edit" and "Capture Preset Editor" comes up.
         - UnderQuicktime Audio Settings:
              - Device:  AJA Kona 3
              - Format:  48.000 kHz 16-bit 16-chan (THIS SHOULD BE 24-bit)
    Select the "A\V Device" tab:
    The audio device has defaulted to the 16 bit setting as well.
    It appears that FCP or AJA is keeping the audio bitrate from the previous Easy Setup.
    Even if we close FCP completely, and reopen into a new project, load the HD Easy Setup, the bit rate still shows as 16.
    I have tried deleting the following:
    apple.finalcutpro.plist
    Final Cut User Data Folder
    Thanks,
    Mike

    The camera definitely recorded in SP, that icon was visible on the viewfinder...
    What settings should i be using in FCP to capture the video? From attempted research i found most comments suggesting to use a basic Firewire settings. i have used this in PAL format but the results are poor.
    One thing I am confused about is the 32khz or 48khz settings. Which should i be using? I have an older version of FCE 4 where there are many settings for both 32khz and 48khz for DV FireWire but in FCP7 there are only options for 48khz.
    Any advice would be welcomed at the moment.
    I am also willing to upload clips of what I have to demonstrate visually the poor quality video I am capturing from the Canon

  • INGESTED DVCPRO HD FOOTAGE IN WRONG "EASY SETUP" - HELP!

    OK, this falls under the heading: Just plain stupid. Nevertheless, now I am looking for a fix. I'm new to HD. I shot a short film with a Panasonic HVX-200. I was not going to have to do the post-production and would periodically load the footage into FCP as it was shot just to see how it looked. Then it turned out, I was asked to edit it under a tight deadline. However, when I ingested the footage into FCP I never changed the easy setup. The editing is now done and I wish to output to Digi Beta. But I now see the sequence settings are set for CCIR 601 NTSC! Is there a way to "undo" this and put in the proper setting? Or is the only way to re-ingest and re-edit? This is embarassing. But, hey, we all have to learn. Maybe publishing my error will save someone else down the road! Thanks for any help.

    That's very interesting to learn that 601 NTSC is the proper setting for Digibeta. I didn't know that. Here are the exact current sequence settings:
    Frame Size: 720 x 486. Aspect Ratio: CCIR 601 (40:27)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: NTSC - CCIR 601 / DV 720 x 480
    Field Dominance: Lower (Even)
    Editing Timebase 29.97
    QuickTime Video Settings:
    Compressor: Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2
    Quality: 100%
    Audio: 48Khz, 24-bit
    Config: default
    I shot in DVCPRO HD 720p60
    Gosh, I'm trying to remember if I had to render the footage as I dropped it into the timeline. I didn't think so. But now I can't swear to it.
    I guess I have (at least) 2 questions: (1) Is there a way to "revert" to the HD format for this sequence now that it's edited? (2) Do I even want to do that if I want to output to digibeta print? What's the best thing to do to obtain a maximum quality digibeta print?
    By the way, I just heard this week that the film was accepted into a film festival, so I'm under a dead line to deliver a print, preferrably in digibeta or beta sp format.
    Would greatly appreciate any help. And thanks for the welcome to the forums!

  • Unrendered and Easy Setup

    I have a new Sony SR11 and I'm experimenting with a FCE workflow. I've recorded a few minutes of video at the camcorder's highest setting, but am having problems getting it to play in the viewer in FCE - the audio plays, but the video shows "unrendered". I've read through the forums but haven't found an answer that helps me yet.
    Source video:
    Recorded at 16 Mb/s with a frame size of 1920x1080.
    Easy Setup:
    HDV AIC 1080i/60
    When I create a sequence even after setting the above Easy Setup value, the sequence has a frame size of 1400x1080. If I read other posts correctly, the reason that FCE needs to render my clips before playing them in the viewer is that the frame sizes don't match. 1400x1080 != 1920x1080.
    Assuming that's really the problem, how do I change the sequence frame size to 1920x1080? Or does FCE/AIC not support 1920x1080?

    Found answers to my own questions. Posting here for others in case they have the same issues:
    Alright...here's the fix. It's a PITA but it works:
    You need to download this free converter: MPEG Streamclip
    File -> Export to QuickTime
    Compression: Apple Intermediate Codec
    Quality: 100%
    Sound: Stereo/48 kHz
    Import the converted file into FCE and everything will work smoothly. Here's the rub:
    1. Extra step
    2. Extra, larger files. A h.264 original out of the camera that was 69mb turned into a 216mb file after conversion.
    Kinda defeats one of my primary purposes for moving to FCE instead of iMovie (save disk space by using referenced files instead of imported ones)

  • Timeline format Easy setup

    Hi, I'm doing animatics for an animated show, working with storyboards. When the show goes to online it will be in HD. Do I need to set Easy Setup to an HD format for the animatics?

    You shouldn't be getting the render line so you must be doing something wrong.
    You are shooting at 30fps and not 60fps?
    In Streamclip do this:-
    File>Export to QuickTime and select Apple Intermediate Codec.
    Do not alter any other settings.
    Simply click Make Movie.

  • Missing Easy Setup File 1080i50

    Hi guys
    Just upgraded to Sony HDV camera (HVR-A1E) PAL (UK). Pop into FCP5.x easy setup menu for capture and only settings are for 1080i60. Where is the 1080i50 gone? Cannot capture more than a few seconds of HD before dropped frame rate window pops up. Can capture HDV in iMovie, but when you try to import into FCP it gets upset! Using iMacG5 2GHz with 1Gb RAM.
    Any thoughts, or anyone who can put me in touch with the missing file or instructions on how to set it all up manually would be GREAT!
    Cheers
    Paul

    Just gives me a new list to choose from when I start program. The list contains only one version of HDV which is the 1080i60! So that didn't help. Any other ideas!
    Cheers
