How do I get the wired connection from my linksys router to my computer to work?

Q. I have a Linksys WRT54G that I have directly connected to my Dell running XP SP2. The problem is that I dont know how to set up the connection so that it works off that wired connection. I have tried going through the connect to menu but it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?
I am currently using a wireless connection to it, its the wired one that my computer will not read.

A. You don't say if you have tried a wireless connection - but I assume you have no connectivity.

- In the interface- protocols - tcpip configuration, make sure your PC is configured for Dynamic IP addressing - not a fixed IP address

If you are seeing an interface status of connected-local (or similar) the router is not seeing the ISP network.
- Log into the router and configure it to clone the mac address of your PC - that should overcome any issues with your ISP. If you don't have access to the router config - then you will need to contact your ISP to correct the problem.

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.

If you reset a Linksys router will it do anything to the connections its already setup to?

Q. I have a linksys router and i wanted to get internet on my wii. And i forget my password so i want to reset it, but im not sure if it will do anything to the computers that have hooked up to it already. Will it?

A. It will disconnect. Also, all your wireless computers will still be using the old encryption key and won't be able to connect to the router. Also, the router will no longer have your Internet Service Provider's gateway IP address and Domain Name Server IP addresses. You'll have to set them all back up again.

All for a Wii?

Here's how to find the encryption key: If the encryption key isn't on a label on your wireless modem or router, the likeliest place to find it is in your router's admin pages. Exactly where in those pages varies from brand to brand. If you don't have a router, the following should apply to your modem itself.

Basically, to get into the admin pages, do this:

1.On a computer connected to a wired port on your router (wireless access to the admin pages should be turned off as a security risk), enter the router's local IP address in your browser's address window.ON A LINKSYS, THIS IS PROBABLY 192.168.1.1. THE LOGIN IS USUALLY A BLANK USERNAME AND ADMIN AS THE PASSWORD.
2.Poke around, especially under wireless security, until you find the encryption key. Copy it down EXACTLY. Copy-and-pasting it into a text file (Wordpad is generally best because it's on almost all Windows machines) is even better, as it can be copy-and-pasted from there into whatever needs it. When you see it, you'll understand why this is a good idea.

To find your router�s IP address in Windows:

3.Click on the Start->Run button.
4.In the text box, type

cmd

and press Enter.

5.A black "DOS box" will pop up. In it, enter

ipconfig /all

A bunch of gibberish will fill the box. Next to "Default Gateway" an IP address will appear. This is your router's IP address.

Hope that helps.

I have a linksys router and im trying to setup wirless internet through a motorola surf board modem?

Q. I plugged the modem into the linksys router (internet port) and had another ethernet cord connecting to the linksys to the computer (when doing this the computer plugged in doesnt even have internet). I dont have a setup disk for the router, and the linksys setup wizard from the site doesnt seem to work.

A. This could be a lot of things.
1. Reset your cable modem. Unplug for 10 seconds, then plug back in
2. hold down the little button on the linksys router (even if brand new) for like 30 seconds. It should reset to factory defaults.
3. Plug modem into internet port on router.
4. Plug computer into a free port on the router.
5. Check computer settings to make sure it does not have a static ip address. you can do this by going to network connections, Local Area Connection (which should show as connected or plugged in), then right clicking and selecting properties. Then look for TCP/IP properties, and you should see the area where you can change the IP and DNS settings. Make sure these are all blank.
6. You can open internet explorer and type 192.168.1.1 Just that. nothing else.
7. it will ask you for username and password. username is admin, password either blank , or admin.

that should get you into router setup.

How to put a security password on a linksys wireless router?

Q. i have a WRT54G linksys router and i disabled the password so i can be easier on the family, but now i found out that hackers/neighbors/ and others are using this network. How can i put up a password?

A. To change your wireless password:

Open a command prompt on a computer connected to your network, and type in ipconfig. Take the default gateway address and put it in your web browser. The login is usually admin admin, or admin *blank*. Then look through the control panel for an option to change the wireless password.

If you are given the option, use WPA2 with AES for your security settings.

How to use router if need to operate wired desktop,wireless laptop and wifi phone on mac bound wan connection?

Q. I submitted my linksys router mac address (found on the back of router) to my wan operator (who provides mac based connection) but my wireless laptop and wifi phone did not connect.

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.

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.

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.

How to make Linksys wireless router private?

Q. I have a Linksys wireless router and want to keep it private. Can you tell me step-by-step what to do? Thank you!

A. One thing that one must do is password protect ones router in order to keep people from logging into your network and stealing sensitive data.

If you think offenders are logging into your network through a router, than password protect your router.
Log into your router. Set up the password there.

XP
1) Goto Start/Run
2) Type in "cmd"

Vista
1) Click the Start button
2) Type in "command"

Once you are in the command prompt:
1)Type in "ipconfig"
2) In your Internet browser type in "http://" followed by your default gateway (found in the command prompt)
***Example: http://192.168.1.1 (try clicking the link)
3) Login (search online for login info) Usually admin, password
3) There should be a link on the side somewhere. It should have several options like WEP, WPA etc.

Another method is implementing MAC addressing or dynamically assigned IP addresses.

If you reset a Linksys router will it do anything to the connections its already setup to?

Q. I have a linksys router and i wanted to get internet on my wii. And i forget my password so i want to reset it, but im not sure if it will do anything to the computers that have hooked up to it already. Will it?

A. It will disconnect. Also, all your wireless computers will still be using the old encryption key and won't be able to connect to the router. Also, the router will no longer have your Internet Service Provider's gateway IP address and Domain Name Server IP addresses. You'll have to set them all back up again.

All for a Wii?

Here's how to find the encryption key: If the encryption key isn't on a label on your wireless modem or router, the likeliest place to find it is in your router's admin pages. Exactly where in those pages varies from brand to brand. If you don't have a router, the following should apply to your modem itself.

Basically, to get into the admin pages, do this:

1.On a computer connected to a wired port on your router (wireless access to the admin pages should be turned off as a security risk), enter the router's local IP address in your browser's address window.ON A LINKSYS, THIS IS PROBABLY 192.168.1.1. THE LOGIN IS USUALLY A BLANK USERNAME AND ADMIN AS THE PASSWORD.
2.Poke around, especially under wireless security, until you find the encryption key. Copy it down EXACTLY.

How do i delete devices on my linksys router?

Q. My linksys has 34+ devices on it and only 2 are min is there any way to delete the other devices?

A. There are several ways.

Easiet for end (non-technical) users is, reset your router to factory default settings and set new password on wireless connection.

For intermediate users, choose your devices in allow list by your MAC address of your wireless/network card. so, others will not be allowed to use your router as they are not listed in allow list.

Advance users, Follow both steps from above and set your local IP range to very small so other can't use it and try using static IP dedicated to your MAC id.

Seems that you are not too familiar with routers, as you are asking this question. I recommend you to take first option. Hope it helps!

I have a linksys router and im trying to setup wirless internet through a motorola surf board modem?

Q. I plugged the modem into the linksys router (internet port) and had another ethernet cord connecting to the linksys to the computer (when doing this the computer plugged in doesnt even have internet). I dont have a setup disk for the router, and the linksys setup wizard from the site doesnt seem to work.

A. This could be a lot of things.
1. Reset your cable modem. Unplug for 10 seconds, then plug back in
2. hold down the little button on the linksys router (even if brand new) for like 30 seconds. It should reset to factory defaults.
3. Plug modem into internet port on router.
4. Plug computer into a free port on the router.
5. Check computer settings to make sure it does not have a static ip address. you can do this by going to network connections, Local Area Connection (which should show as connected or plugged in), then right clicking and selecting properties. Then look for TCP/IP properties, and you should see the area where you can change the IP and DNS settings. Make sure these are all blank.
6. You can open internet explorer and type 192.168.1.1 Just that. nothing else.
7. it will ask you for username and password. username is admin, password either blank , or admin.

that should get you into router setup.

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.
