Home Network :: Unorthodox Wireless Router Configuration?
Jan 5, 2012
Here's my situation:I live in a house that has AT&T U-verse. My pc is a couple of rooms away from the U-verse router so I pick up my Internet signal via a Netgear WG111v2 USB wireless adapter. Works great. But I have a couple of "new" Palm Pre handhelds with sync software that requires a wireless connection (won't do USB). Fortunately, I had a Netgear WGR614 v4 54 Mbps Wireless Router in storage. (I used it years ago so it had already been configured but back then it was wired directly to an AT&T router with a patch cable to my roommate's pc and to my pc wirelessly.)
So I just powered it up, plugged a patch cable into my pc's NIC and plugged the other end into the WAN port. Voila! I had connectivity to my Palm Pre's. All was well for about 15 minutes when all of a sudden my pc lost connection (wirelessly) to the U-verse router. And though the Netgear Smart Wizard showed a strong signal from the Netgear WGR614 Wireless Router and the Palm's were picking up a strong signal from it, they couldn't "surf" the Net.
I guess WinXP (being PnP) decided to adjust things causing everything to stop working. (Just a guess.I moved the patch cable from the WAN port to a LAN port. This enabled me to access the Netgear router wizard for the first time since I used it years agohttp://192.168.0.1) I couldn't access it earlier in this "endeavor" when the patch cable was connected to the WAN port. So this seemed encouraging. But no, it didn't work. Nothing was connecting to the Net. And the only way to restore my pc's connection via the Netgear USB wireless adapter to U-verse was to unplug the Netgear wireless router.

I have a problem with my home network/internet - I have a working wireless network that I have used for some time now and it works just fine. the problem is that internet restrictions where I live require me to register each unit to the building network before I can gain access to the internet. My caretaker told me today that normally, I only should register my primary computer and the wireless router to be able to use the internet freely. However when a new laptop appears( I have a guest), I can easily connect it to my own wireless, but it can't use the internet, as if it needed to be registered again. I ran out of registration codes and I really would like to have freedom i connection opportunities. The caretaker said that the system gives every registered unit a "fake" IP, so after giving it to mu router, all other units connected through that router should have unlimited access. Is my network configured in a wrong way? I don't know how to ask this in a more simple way... I just want to be able to connect a friends laptop to the net with just my local password, which isn't happening.

I'm connected through a simple non-configurable switch to a 172.20.0.0. 255.255.0.0 network, with a gateway of 172.20.2.2.
When i use DHCP, i am able to connect to the web.
When i change my ip address to a static address (with an available ip address and correct subnet mask and default gateway) i am unable to connect to the web.

I have a router manufactured by AirTies,the model is Air 4450.This has the capability of being an Access Point in a current network, which is how I want to use it. (Introducing it into my current Sky Broadband network with a Sagem F@ST 2504N router).However, I cannot access the configuration page whatsoever.The manual states the default IP address of the router is 192.168.2.254, so I have set my laptop to a static IP of 192.168.2.100 and patched into LAN port #1 on the rear of the Airties 4450, powered on the unit and cannot access the router at all.I have held down the reset button several times to no avail.how I can configure this unit ?

I've been trying to configure a cisco ASA 5505 for my home network but I'm not having much joy with it. I've looked at countless guides, tutorials and followed the ASA setup wizard in ASDM. The Cisco 1841 is running sub-interfaces for my VLAN's.

I'm trying to run a server for a java application called mekwars. The program needs ports 2347 and 4867 open. I have obtained an ip address from my ISP and registered with dyndns. I can ping my public ip address (my router)I can access my server from any other computer in the LAN. My router is a Zyxel p660hn-T1a. I have configured port forwarding of both ports to my server.I have disabled the firewall in the router and restarted it.My server is running CentOS 6. I have opened the ports in the server iptables, I don't think this is the issue as I can connect from my lan to the server.When I try to connect (from within my lan) to the public ip address of my server the program tells me it cannot find the server. I can't telnet to port 2347 and nmap tells me that the only ports that are open are 22, 23 and 80 ( I believe this are open by default on the router to allow remote management).I can telnet from the lan. My networking isn't great and I'm used to having an "ip passthrough" option on the router to assign to my server. I do have it set as the default router in port-forwarding so I had hoped this would be a similiar option.
Do I have to set a static route in addition to port forwarding or could I have port forwarding configured incorrectly? I'm also considering the router may be at fault and I've emailed my ISP to make sure they're not filtering the ports before they reach my router.

I have 24Mbps connection with my ISP and I am currently using a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. I know the maximum throughput is 54Mbps but thats not the actual throughput. Am I not getting my 24Mbps throughput with the Linksys WRT54G router or should I upgrade an 802.11n router to get my actual throughput that I'm paying for?

My house is wired with Ethernet to just about every room with several connections in some rooms and its come time to expand our network. Right now we have a wireless router connected by Ethernet to a standard Ethernet router and we are experiencing problems with our network printers. While i'm not sure if it will solve our printing problems i am looking to consolidate both my wireless router and my standard Ethernet router into one single router.

We have adsl and the current system setup is as follows:
I have a plain dlink adsl modem connected as my starting point in bridged mode. This is to allow different users to connect with their own adsl isp user accounts.Then after that I have a linksys wireless router that is connected to it via a switch on an available port on both the switch and linksys router.We can all access the wireless fine,access the wired PCs, printers, etc.My problem is I want to add a third wireless router to the equation that will dial a single account and will be used primarily for our mobile phones and guests. So, always on, wireless connection to an always connected adsl line.
I got everything working up to a point.When I connected my new wireless router via its wan port,it worked as expected.I had enabled DHCP on it and also assigned a static ip for itself in the same class as the rest of the network. Any device connected to that wireless network can access the internet and the other devices connected to the same network. However, when I try to access the rest of the network,I get a host unreachable error on ping and when trying to access it directly via ip addresses.I then disabled the dhcp on it and thought that my primary dhcp (the linksys) would assign the devices, but that also did not work. I am sure that if I had connected the router via one of its normal lan ports it could have worked, but then I can't set it up for PPPoE.

I have a Thomson TG585 v7 router which is in bridge mode. I also have a NetGear DGND3300v2 router which I would like to connect to the Thomson (eventually I will purchase a switch and connect another device along with the NetGear). The problem is that the NetGear only has 4 LAN ports and no WAN ports, which I assume you would need to set this up.

My home computer accesses the Internet through an ADSL modem and a phone line. I added a wired router (Linksys BEFSR41).I've since bought a laptop computer, an iPhone4 and a wireless router (Linksys WRT160N).Again, on the advice of a friend, I ADDED the wireless router, so now have two routers connected.The devices are connected as follows:
-Wall jack to ADSL modem
-ADSL modem to BEFSR41
-BEFSR41 to WRT160N
-WRT160N to desktop computer.
As I understand Linksys routers, the default IP address for ALL Linksys routers is 192.168.1.1.Both the iPhone4 and the laptop are unable to connect to the wireless router.I'm assuming the two routers are conflicting with each other, so I thought I would remove the wired router..Can I change the IP address of the BEFSR41 router from 192.168.1.2?
Would this resolve the conflict between the two routers and allow the wireless devices to "see" the wireless router? What's the correct procedure for removing the BEFSR41 router from the system?

Often my router drops connection to all my devices. Multiple times a day. It's only for a minute or so, but it's annoying. I'm using a Linksys Wireless-N router (WRT160N) with WEP encryption. I'm running two Windows 7 laptops, LG BluRay player, Apple TV, Xbox 360 (Wired) iPhone 4, and a iPad 2. It doesn't matter if I'm browsing the web, watching Netflix, or playing a game, the connection gets lost. As we speak it happened again. I have no clue on what to do. I've reconfigured it multiple times. Firmware has been updated months ago.

I have a HP G62 Laptop that's less then a year old (replacing a Dell we had for several years without problems) and a 2Wire router with ATT DSL that we've also had for years. Ever since we've had the new laptop we've been unable to use the wireless without problems. Periodically, (maybe once an hour or so) if the laptop is connected wirelessly it will make the router disconnect from the internet and cycle off. The router lights all go red, it cycles back on, green lights come on and re-connects.I've had ATT run a line test, had them send technicians here 3 times, they've gone through the house and followed the line to the box, trimming branches on the way. I've gotten a new router and I've tried a USB wireless adapter for the lap top. However, as soon as the wireless is disabled and it's plugged in by ethernet all of the problems go away. This would be fine if it was mostly used at a desktop but it's mostly used on the couch/around the house and the ethernet cables get in the way and keep breaking.

I have a Linksys WRT54G2 wireless router set up on my home network. When I first got the router, I used the installation disk on my desktop PC to set up my wireless network. I am getting rid of this computer, as I now have a laptop computer. The laptop can already utilize the network, and I can even configure the router using the laptop. Obviously, the old desktop doesn't even have to be turned on for any other laptops or devices to use the network.
If I get rid of the old desktop, will it be necessary to run the installation disk that came with the router on my new primary PC? Or is that a one time process to configure the router with the modem and set up a network?

I am wanting to buy an access point to extend my range on my home network. I think i've used one AP before and if i remember correctly, after i plugged it into my main rounter and configured it, i unplugged the ethernet from it and moved it to somewhere else in the house. But i can't remember for sure if this is how it works or do i have to have an ethernet cable running to it at all times?

I have a Time Warner Cable business class service with no static IP, with a wireless modem which is plugged to a CAT5 distribution panel. On the jacks (2 other rooms on the house) I have a Linksys E3000 and a Linksys Valet router for signal boost and gadgets usage (TV, cameras, etc).The main router (TWC) has it's own external IP which TWC assigns to me and internally distributes via DHCP the range 192.168.0.x. With that said:
- The E3000 has a 192.168.0.6 IP -- this is fixed setup on the TWC router (ubee brand) by MAC address
- The Valet has a 192.168.0.7 IP -- this is fixed setup on the TWC router (ubee brand) by MAC address
- The main router has the 192.168.0.1 as the gateway and web-interface
Whenever I connect something to the E3000, it is distributing the 192.168.1.x range and the valet 192.168.2.x range.That works perfectly for my home based business until I decided to use more stuff on the network such as a IP printer, IP cameras, etc.
- The IP cameras are connected to the E3000 due to signal strength and I have manually assigned them the 192.168.1.15 and 192.168.1.16 IPs and ports 9001 and 9002.
- The printer is connected to the E3000 and I have manually assigned the IP 192.168.1.30.
Issue 1: Port forwarding On the main router (TWC - UBEE) I have tried to setup a port forwarding by informing the Local IP as 192.168.0.6 (E3000 IP), Internal Port 0, Public Interface IP (0.0.0.0), Ext Start Port 9001, Ext End Port 9001, Protocol - Both, Enabled Yes. On the E3000 I did the same config (screen shot attached e3000.png).This is not working properly. I can't get into the camera.
Issue 2: Printer/ The printer is only accessible if I connect to the E3000 (because it is on the 192.168.1.x network)
Issue 3: How to configure all the devices on the same subnet? If I want everyone to be on the 192.168.0.x network, how to configure properly the E3000 and the Valet? I have tried to force them into the same network but it would not work properly. It would not get an IP from the UBEE router (main).

I have a question regarding setting up a wireless access point on a network. Lets say my router is going to connect to a switch. The switch puts out 192.168.4. addresses. I want the wireless router to do the same. So I turn off DHCP.Everything works fine and everyone can communicate. Here is my question. How do I ever connect back to the wireless router if I need to change the settings? If the wireless routers address is 192.168.1.1 I cannot get back to it since i am now on the 4. subnet. I have also tried changing the router's ip to an address on the subnet such as 192.168.4.100 but on two different routers this didnt work. One didnt me and said there was a conflict with the WAN IP. The other one would not let me get on the internet.

We operate a home office network (workgroup) of 6 older PCs running Windows XP SP3.It's a Windows based network using a designated "home" PC as a server, and until recently we were using ethernet cables and a hub/switch for sharing files which worked well because we only share small document files, no music or video.The workgroup does not have a shared internet connection, we don't want or need one for what we do, although the individual PC's can connect to the web using USB dongles just for checking e-mail.Recently the ethernet hub died and I decided to take the opportunity to upgrade to wireless file sharing.None of the PCs have inbuilt wireless adapters so I bought a D-Link USB wireless adapter for each PC.I also bought a Netgear N300 router, thinking that this was suitable entry level equipment for wireless file sharing. Now I'm not so sure.So far I was unable to install the router on the "home" PC because the installation CD seems to assume that the router will be used for sharing an internet connection and does not seem to offer an installation option without a standalone modem. How to install this type of router to create a closed home wireless network without a shared internet connection.

I have cable internet with a speed plan in the 10-15 mbps range. I have a wireless Belkin g router that is several years old. Connected to the router I have my cable modem as well as my PS3. I connect wirelessly from my PC to the internet, as my PC is in the other room (more on that later). When I'm streaming movies via WiFi to my TV, the connection is highly unstable. Some days, I will not experience any stuttering (or very minor stuttering), whereas other times the stuttering is almost unbearable. Last night, I had trouble streaming a DVD quality movie whenever it went above 2 mbps total bitrate. Other times, I can stream HD movies without much stuttering (except for very action packed scenes).Interestingly, I stream Netflix movies over my PS3 via a *wired* connection. Last night, I conducted a speed test on my PS3. First, I had the PS3 plugged into the wireless router. I achieved speeds around 2 - 4 mbps on average. I then plugged my PS3 directly into my modem and achieved speeds around 10 mbps! The boost was instantaneous. I should note that on my PC, I speed test regularly over the WiFi and achieve around 4-6 mbps on average (only once did I achieve 11 mbps).

I have developing a utility which lets a user do the following :-
1)Identify the internet gateway device / router using uPnP
2)Check for the portmappings present in the gateway
3)Add / remove a port mapping from the gateway device
4)some other functions like loopback interface testing etc
Now , I need a router simulator (or any other way )which supports the following to test my work uPnP+ NAT +can be configured using SOAP XML messages although this is not a requisite as I am using Microsoft's SDK for uPnP ?Host 3 (or may be 4 is the RAM allows) virtual machines , connect them into a subnetwork using this software and then testing for the above requirements .

Firstly I cannot get my Linksys RE1000 to work with my network having tried the set up CD on 2 computers (mac and windows). The main router is a BT Home Hub 2.0
The main router is in the basement where out internet connection enters the house, also in the basement is our LAN board where we have ethernet cables extending to parts of the house. There is weak wireless signal from groundfloor up to the top floor so wanted to find something where I could plug into the ethernet port and it would broadcast an wireless network to the upper floors/areas with a weaker signal. Thought the RE1000 would do this job but i can't get it to do it wirelessly let alone connect it to the main router using a ethernet cable.
