I recently swapped a router out for an old one to check an internet problem (to rule it out basically) and when I tried swapping the newer (better) one back in it networks fine (ie computers can see/stream off each other) but it doesnt recognize as being plugged into the internet.
After doing a factory reset via routerlogin.net I still have the same problem. The only thing I can think of is maybe the port got damaged? (The ethernet cables all work fine).
My process for hooking up the new router in case I was doing something wrong:
Unplug cable modem power, swap all the cords, on router while cable modem was rebooting and then once modem connected I turn on router. Did I need to restart the PC as well? Is that why this is screwing up?
I have a netgear WNDR4500. What I want to do is stream video from my PC to my IPAD using a program I downloaded from the IOS Store. I simply cant seem to get the router to forward the port.
I will post 3 pics showing what I see on the router side and what the streaming program is asking erroring out. The program on my IPAD just errors out and does not see the PC at home at all.
I have two routers, one Apple router and a WNDR4500. The WNDR4500 is the second router and I need to have access to the computers and printers on the first router. Right now I have a cable from the first router (Apple Router) connected to the WAN port on the second router (WNDR4500). How do I set up so I can use both routers as wifi access-spots, both have internet and all the printers and computers are available on both? So I can print and share regardless of which wifi and router I'm connected to.
I installed firmware version 1.2.0.9 a couple weeks ago after seeing in the release notes that the port forwarding bug where clients would get 'no route to host' was resolved (one of the original posts found here:URL
After installing the firmware and confirming it's running I've seen no improvement. I still must reboot my router 2-3 times daily so clients can access the ports that are defined in the port forwarding module.
I have the Netgear wndr4500 router setup as an AP. The wndr4500 has a feature for guest wifi but will not connect to the internet. The main wifi will connect to the internet fine. I'm wondering if I use the WNDR4500 as an AP, the guest features do not work?
I recently purchased an Asus RT-N12B1. It has an external hardware switch which allows the router to operate in different modes. I put in access point mode. Then I connected an ethernet cable from a LAN port on my Verizon supplied Actiontec MI424WR-GEN2 E router to a LAN port on the access point and turned off the wireless in the router.
I have dynamic DNS setup and port forwarding setup in the router to forward from port 50000 to 192.168.1.2:22 which is a server plugged into a LAN port on the router. This is no longer working since adding the AP and disabling wireless on the primary router. how to debug?
For about two months now I have been experiencing a problem with my Internet connection. It started when I upgraded my Dell Inspiron 530s from 64 bit Vista to 64 bit Windows 7. After a day, I started getting the "Local Area Connection: A network cable is unplugged or broken internet connection." However, the cable is not unplugged. My other PC and laptop (which is wireless) can connect to the Internet, so I know it's not my ISP or my router. It only happens about every other day. It would work perfectly on day and other day I would go to my internet and I would have no connection. The weird thing is that when I restart my computer, it connects right away. My other two computers that was upgraded also does not have this problem.
First, I thought it may be the cable, so I replaced it with another cable I had. No luck.Then I thought it may be the port on the router, so I plugged it into one of the other ports (including the port that the working PC was plugged into). Next, I checked Device Manager > Network Adapters > Intel(R) 8256v-2 10/100 Connection. There is no exclamation point next to it. Plus, under Properties, it indicates that this device is working properly.I shut down all my computers, and unplugged the dsl modem and router. I waited a few minutes and then plugged in the modem, followed by the router. Once both of those were fully booted, I turned my computers back on. Still after a few hours, I lost connection.Following this, I went to Run, typed "cmd" and then "ipconfig." Under Windows IP Configuration, it reads:"Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Media State.........: Media Disconnected."
I cant get a connection to the internet when i open up lan theres a red x when i diagnose lan it says to plug in ethernet cable ive done that but then it says it may be unplugged or broken i even changed the ethernet cable but same problem, so i figured its the driver but that says upto date however when i reinstall it says theres no network adapter installed, i havent installed anything recently and to besure it wasnt because of an microsoft update i even did a system restore
I do not have access to internet (I'm on some unsecured internet from around here now, very slow). When I start the internetdiagnostics from windows, he says it's the modem or the connection from laptop, router, modem to internet. However, the lights indicating internet and dsl on the modem are brightly burning and the router shows nothing abnormal too.
I have a WPA2-PSK security, the modem is Zyxel. Also, the ethernetcable portal on my laptop is broken, so I can't do anything non-wireless. My phone has the same problem with this internet, it can get a connection, but no internet.
The detected problem is the connection between my access point, router, or cable modem and the Internet is broken.The network gateway is accessible, but Windows couldn't receive network traffic from the Internet.All other devices (iPad, Xbox, android phone) have no problem connecting to the Internet.Desktop is the only one experiencing the connection issue.
My laptop died last week and have been using my husbands, which I hate! We had some issues with computer freezing on some webpages or after being on webpages for awhile (like facebook). Yesterday it froze and I could not get it back on. When he got home he did scan disk (which I also did) and got it working after going into safe mode and doing system restore. He said an update had gotten through and messed things up. Anyhow, after he was on it a few hours last night, we lost connection. I figured the crazy weather was the culprit but it has been off all day. Our router is working and connecting but the adapter is not. Also our home phone says there is no line. We have unplugged everything several times, checked to make sure everything is in the right spots, I have even reset the router and rebooted the adapter. I uninstalled and restalled the adapter also. It is now telling me that "the connection between your access point, router, or cable modem and the Internet is broken". The only lights I have on the adapter are power, battery, DS and now the US light is blinking. The online and link lights are not on.
I know that WRTP54G is a voip device, but it is router as well and my problem is related to routing part.I cannot access public internet servers with IP in subnet 2.0.0.0 / 8 and 1.0.0.0 / 8. In the 2.0.0.0 / 8 subnet are some akamai cdn servers (yes, the fbcdn .After some time I've found, that routing table in wrtp54g contains also entries:
which cannot be deleted. It looks like someone wanted to filter dark space when the router was developed.Is there any way, to get rid of it? I've restored to factory defaults, no change. Firmware version is 3.1.27.ETSI
I know that N operates on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, whereas AC operates only on 5Ghz. Yet many AC routers advertise as operating on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. So what happens when you connect to an AC access point on 2.4Ghz? Does that operate using 802.11n?
What happens when you try to connect to an 802.11ac access point using an 802.11n client on 5Ghz? Is this possible, or are legacy connections only possible at 2.4Ghz?
I have a Netgear WNDR4500 (802.11n, dual band) currently that I am very happy with. I figure I will eventually switch over to AC. I'm trying to determine if I would be better off simply replacing the N unit with an AC unit, or running both (perhaps WNDR4500 to handle 2.4Ghz clients, AC access point to handle 5Ghz clients, or similar).
I have the netgear wndr4500 setup on my home theater shelves which are located in the corner of the room. When using my ASus G74sx with the Atheros 9002 wifi I consistently get disconnected. The wifi connection is lost and needs to be re-established.
Interestingly, when I am using the laptop downstairs the disconnects never happen. I have pored over my router's settings, updated to the latest firmware, as well as installed the latest drivers on the laptop. I also tried setting the router to short preamble and changing the channels to 11and automatic.
I have netgear WNDR4500 and laptop with Intel Centrino Advanced n-6230. Win 7x64 pro and all run at 54 mb instead of max 400+..I'm fighting with it from a year +/- now and then and I just dont know what to do.
I have time warner internet service and just upgraded my service to their extreme internet. In doing so I had to change my modem to a docis 3.0 modem; the motorola sbg6580. Its a modem that has a router and wifi built in but its really bad and not nearly as good as my net-gear router.
I'm considering adding a dedicated Firewall to my network.Here is what my home network currently consists of:
-Comcast Arris TM722 Broadband Modem -Netgear WNDR4500 N900 Gigabit WiFi 450/450 Router -2 x Netgear GS108NA 8 Port Gigabit Switches -1 x Netgear WN2500RP Universal WiFi Range Extender -4 Pc's running Windows 7 Home Premium -Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ -3 x Blu-ray players - Sony & Oppo (2 wired, 1 connected by WiFi) -Sony PS3 (wired) -Onkyo TX-NR905 AVR (wired) -Sony KDL-55HX800 TV (wired) -2 x Vizio E400 Seies Smart TV's (1 wired, 1 connected by WiFi through Netgear WN2500RP Range Extender) -HP Photosmart Printer
All wired connections using Cat6 ethernet cabling.So, I want to setup a Gigabit Firewall between the modem and the router (and just use the router as the wireless access point) but I don't want to take a hit on my bandwidth speed.I was thinking of the Netgear ProSafe FVS318G for this.
So I have this Netgear N900 (WNDR4500) wireless router. I have one PC connected via ethernet cable to the router and 4 wireless devices connected wirelessly. As long as the ethernet-connected PC is turned on, the other wireless connections work fine, but as soon as I shut down that PC, the internet connection is lost (although I can still connect to the router via the wireless laptops - router login page - so I know the router's wifi part is working). Why would my PC need to be on? Does the PC handle any of the internet connection for the router?
I hope I don't need to keep my PC running 24/7 so that the other devices can access the internet!
Added a wireless router to our office here so that people with laptops could get on the net without having to physically plug in. Right now it is ok, but the router is acting as it's own DHCP server instead of our server here assigning out the IP's.
The main gripe I have is I can only login to the router through my phone and not through my computer. How can I achieve this. We have multiple offices that all connect through a VPN. I would like our sys admin to access the router at his location as well.
Do I just turn off DHCP on the router and thats it? The model is Netgear WNDR4500.
I have a Netgear WNDR4500 running the stock firmware, acting as a router for my home. I also have 2 routers that are flashed with DD-WRT (Linksys WRT54G and Asus WL-520GU) running as client bridges. The Netgear is 192.168.1.1 and the other 2 client bridges are 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.10.3. The Netgear router is performing DHCP giving addresses from 192.168.10.100 to 192.168.10.254. I have numerous machines connected to the Netgear, wirelessly and wired, and numerous machines wired to each client bridge. All machines have IP addresses that are 192.168.10.100, 192.168.10.101, 192.168.10.102, etc... Everything is working fine, but I have one question: When I access the Netgear router, it shows the client bridges as clients, machines that are wired and wireless to the Netgear router are listed as clients, but the client list does not show any clients that are connected to the client bridges. I assumed that since the router is performing DHCP that all clients would show up.
I have searched the forums and found that there have been others with the same problem as me,but none of the solution offered was working for me so I decided to start this thread.I have an Acer laptop that wont recognize my ethernet cable, it says that there is no cable connected.
Yesterday I was on my toshiba satelite L550-OCD and the wireless wasn't working then it started working again. I closed my laptop and when I went back to it it wasn't working again and hasn't since. It says there's no wireless connection to plug in Ethernet cable now I have tried Fn F8 and it doesn't do anything. So I went into my toshiba assist and opened optimize. Then toshiba hardware settings and clicked LAN and it says it's turned on. But when I click radar it shows it is not connected and the light is off.
I have a cisco router 2612 where NAT is defined ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.1.63 80 175.x.x.x 80 extendable It appears that after sometime (may be in few hours) the NAT is broken and I no longer can access the server over port 80 externally.
I recently upgraded an AP802GN-E-K9 to version 15.2(2)JB (ap802-k9w7-mx.152-2.JB), which broke the web interface. The http server is still running, however the web interface is not available. The following is displayed instead Navigating to /ap_home.shtml etc shows the correct pages. Extracting the "tar" file from the Cisco site and looking in the /html/level/15/ directory in both the tar and flash shows files missing that I'd expect to exist ( frameHome.html , navHome.html etc ).
Alas, I have no SmartNet on this device (embeded into my 887VA-W) as it's for home
I have an acer aspire 5552 laptop that wont connect to the internet. When I tried troubleshooting I get the message "network cable not properly plugged in or may be broken". When I go through the control panel/system devices/network adapter the only thing that shows is pdanet. Right now the only way I can connect is through my cell phone using pdanet. How can I get my network adapters to show back up?
I have a new wireless router (new network, entirely). I used to get intermittent "network access denied" messages. Now, I get intermittent connectivity loss: "No internet access." I typically just right click and troubleshoot. The problem is solved and I get the following message: "Problem with wireless adapter or access point." Once fixed, things go on well for a random time (never more then a day). Then, however, they just fall apart.
We can not get on line with our home computer (dial-up). The computer dials out, the modem at our ISP picks up and then hangs up - Error 720.[code] The last two were installed by Avira Antivirus, a program which we have uninstalled.Can I download support files for a network adapter? Windows XP SP3
There is no "blinking light" indication on my E3000 at the Internet (Yellow label) and Ethernet port no 4. I tried plugging in 2 cables at all of the ports. I got the blinking indication at Port 1 through 3. The same cable's have no response at Port 4 and Internet port. As a result my I am not able to connect to the internet.
