How to use router to connect wired desktop, wireless laptop and wifi phone using mac bound wan connection?

A. Ok, so you gave them your mac. How long ago? Sometimes it takes up to 24 hours to go through.

You have your ethernet from the Internet going into the WAN or INTERNET port on your router and your wired computer connected into the LAN on the router. Does that computer get online? If so it may be an issue with wireless settings on the computer. Either way power down the router, wait 30 seconds and power it back on. restart all computers. Can you connect to any now? If wired won't go on, call your ISP again. If it does but you cant connect wirelessly, update again and I will expand my answer.

Q. I have my main laptop set as the admin for my linksys router and I got an IPad for christmas but I forgot where to go to add its MAC address to the list! Please help! Thanks!

A. By default, a Linksys' ip address is 192.168.1.1. Put that number into the address bar of your internet browser. When prompted for a username/password, enter your info. The default username is blank, and the password is admin. From here, go to the wireless security page. Find the mac filter list. Add the mac address. Done.
