How do I get my IPod touch to connect to my Linksys wireless-n broadband router without dropping the security?
Q. My IPod touch will only connect to the internet through my Linksys wireless-N broadband router if I remove all security when I set up the router, something I would prefer not to do. It will not connect if the security settings are WPA / WPA2 or WEP128. It says "cannot join network" even though I enter the Network Name SSID and the password. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A. The iPod touch should be able to connect using WPA or WPA2 with PSK (pre-shared key) but you are going to have issues if you are trying to connect with WEP because the iPod will try Shared WEP first then failover to OPEN WEP, but by then you will already be failing authentication on the router.
Make sure that you are close to the wireless router when you try to connect and enter in the password a few times.
If you are still having no luck with WPA/WPA2-PSK, you can add a MAC filter to your router, you'll have to add the MAC address of the iPod touch and all the computers that you want to connect to the Internet. It won't stop people from sniffing your traffic or keep hackers off your network, but it would keep normal people from connecting.

How do I turn off the wireless component feature of the Linksys WRT160N Router?
Q. Hello. How do I go about shutting off the wireless feature of my Linksys WRT160N Router (Wireless-N Broadbrand Router)? I am not sure if this particular router has the option or not. I may be wrong. Please help me. I do not need the wireless running right now. I am only using the wired Ethernet ports at this time. Disabling this feature will help me in terms of security. Thank you!
A. Access the setup page of the router by launching an
Browser and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When
it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field
empty and provide password as "admin" (Without quotes)
click on ok.
Click on Wireless Tab & Select the wireless network mode to disable.
This would disable the wireless features of the router.

How can I get my Linksys ethernet wireless router to send a signal to my Mac?
Q. I have a Mac and its wireless, but I get no signal from the Linksys, and I can't use the disk to install the device. Is there another way?
A. If your wireless MAC is the only computer on your network, and you have a modem that was hardwired to the MAC, which you now want to go wireless with. Then you must follow the setup procedures for the router step by step. Skipping any step will likely mean you do not get a signal.
Connect the MAC to the modem with a hard wire cable and make sure your internet is working correctly. Then follow the setup guide for your router, to place it inline with the modem and computer, again, this is a hard wire set up. Hard wire to the modem from the router WAN port. Hard wire from the router LAN port to the LAN port on the MAC. Follow the steps to set up your wireless network, along with security. (IF YOU CROSS A STEP THAT ASKS ABOUT CLONING THE MAC ADDRESS - SAY YES !!!!) This is critical on many DSL and Cable providers, as they expect the modem to see the computer, and not the router. Cloning the MAC address of the computer - in this case also a MAC, two different meanings - makes the modem think it is still talking directly to the computer, and not to the router.
Once you have everything set up, you can remove the hard wire between the router and the MAC. This will cause you to lose your internet. Don't panic. You now need to search for the wireless network you just set up, using the wifi card in the MAC. Connect to your network by selecting it and entering the security code you created when setting up the wireless network. Once you connect, your internet should be back on. Tell it to connect automatically each time the network is in range to allow it to reconnect each time you come home.
