- When resetting the router to factory settings I can connect with both devices mentioned (security is not enabled)
- When setting the WPA2 security key for the first time, I can connect with both devices.
- When I try to connect with either device for the second time I cannot connect, messages (from mobile phone):
The nework SSID is visible Trying to connect Connection broken Network remembered
And then a loop is present that keeps trying to connect, but almost never succeeds. Maybe once in a hundred attempts. When a connection is made, it works fine for as long as the connections stays present. After the connection is broken, it all starts over again. The 5 Ghz network is behaving exactly the same (only tested with my mobile phone, laptop doesn't support 5Ghz network).
I have lowered the speeds and tried different channels, but behavior stays the same.
My friend has had constant issues with his wireless network using his dated Linksys router. So he finally decided to upgrade to the Netgear N750. It's a dual band router that simultaneously broadcasts 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. He setup the 2.4 band for the laptops and mobile devices to access, and the 5 band just for gaming on his xbox 360 Slim. He immediately ran into a problem. The 360 slim's built-in wireless card only picks up 2.4 GHz frequencies. To remedy this, he purchased Microsoft's xbox 360 wireless-N adapter as it can pick up 5 GHz frequencies. However, there was no change after plugging the adapter into the 360 slim. His HP laptop can see the 5 GHz network just fine, so we know it's being broadcast. Could it be the xbox is out of range of the 5 GHz band? Is the adapter not functioning properly with the 360 slim?
I'm not a computer whiz and need exact instructions for how to update the firmware on netgear n750 wndr4000 wireless router. I called netgear and they wouldn't I don't want to spend another 100+ on a router.
is there anything I can do to prevent this? My last password was yUe!k837A!*5L^PcWgw@H06^ using WPA2-PSK [AES] and they still get through? I turned on the allow list to only allow certain devices through and they somehow add themselves to this list as well? WTF?
My laptop is unable to connect to our router unless I am right next to it. I am in a split level house. When I go downstairs in our family room the laptop will not connect or is very slow loading. Once I move the laptop next to the router everything is fine.
The lap top is an HP Pavilion with Windows 7. The router is netgear n750 WNDR4000. :Laptop was connected to internet this afternoon now this evening I have problems.
So I recently moved a little bit away from where I was. My new area only has one internet provider available called "Hot Spot". We got the 10 down 5 up plan and I get what I paid for in that respect. My issue is that it won't even stay up for longer then 20 minutes. At first I was using the Netgear N750 WNDR4000 router, but I switched over to my ASUS RT-N56U router thinking it might fix the problem. Same thing happening with this ASUS, but when it goes out and I try to load a web page I get the error "you have set the wrong dynamic or static IP address for your RT-N56U." The router setting is set on automatic IP so I'm not sure if that's the problem. I called the ISP and told them I have Dish for TV and they said that is most likely the problem as it can often conflict with the IP or something like that. So I called Dish and they sent me this "Hopper Internet Connector" which supposedly fixes this issue because it directly connects it to the router instead of wirelessly. That still didn't fix the problem. I have tried turning wireless off completely and it still happens. I have reset the router to factory settings probably 4 times. I really don't know what else to do..
I'll try and keep this brief, we were having problems with our netgear router (DGN1000) mainly with connection when online gaming with PS3, generally poor connection - so purchased a TP-Link router (TD-W8960N). We could usually access the netgear wirelessly on our laptops Dell and Acer Aspire 4820T (both Windows 7) without any problems and were still doing so last night. However hubby attempted to install the new router last night and all seemed to go fine but after installing we couldn't connect to the wireless network through laptops, iphone ps3 etc - even though we could see the network with excellent strength, after hours of trying called TP-Link they went through everything they could think of and still no joy. Gave up in the end and went to reinstall the netgear Router and now we have the same problem with this router, even though earlier in the night it wasn't a problem - we deleted the previous networks so there was nothing stored in memory & tried everything we can think of (although neither of us are brilliant with IT we do usually get by).We even set up an unsecured wireless network (on both routers) and still couldn't connect?
Netgear Wireless Bridge connects to my long term hotel's wifi, and feeds via ethernet into the Internet port of my WNDR4000.WNDR4000 has my Desktop and WHS connected via gigabit, while the HTPC is 450mbps wireless N with an Intel 6300n, and my Macbook air is connected via 5ghz wireless n as well.I'm having a very bizarre issue where all large file transfers - even over gigabit - are corrupted, while direct downloads are not. I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I CANNOT make a working windows install disc from a tech net iso, and eventually starting checking sha1 hashes. This is how I discovered that direct downloads to machine's hash correctly, but if I transfer it to another machine the sha1 is completely different.
For example, if I download the iso on my macbook air and transfer it to my WHS, the hash is correct on the MAcbook but on the WHS it fails. If I download it to my desktop and transfer it to the HTPC or WHS, same thing happens. There errors are bad enough that Windows setup errors out with a corrupt file error if I make the disc from a networked machine. I have to use the local file to get it to work.
i have a laptop and i don't have an internet in it so here are some wirelesses connections but all of them are sercured it asks me to enter the security key to access to the point so is there anyway to open it like to hack it without having to know the Password key?
I travel some for work. When not traveling my laptop connects directly to my company's intranet via a standard Ethernet connection.While on the road I use a wireless modem to pick up hotels wireless Internet. I connect and then log into a VPN to access my email and websites. This has always worked very easily incubus unsecure public routers.
However twice now , and both times on secure wireless I cannot even connect. My laptop easily finds the signal, usually really strong I click to connect and it never passes " validating identity". I know the secure routers password but it never even comes up to ask for it. Like I said it seems like it only happens on secure wireless routers. In this case it's frustrating because it's when I visit family and their home routers are set up secure with password.
I cannot get my computer to recognize my Netgear WNR1000. I have called Netgear to explain the issue and was on the phone with them for 45 minutes.They did get the laptop to work but my desktop still does not. They told me it was a browser error. If I disconnect the ethernet cable from the router to my computer everything works perfect.I tried to reinstall the CD that came with the router and as I try to get through step 2 it says no router detected.I think this is my hold up but I have no way to know how to fix this. I tried to go on the Netgear website and they tell me that I have to be able to connect to the internet to download through the router. Well I can't do that because obviously that is the hangup. If I click on my Network Connections. It shows my computer connected to a Network with limited capability and then a big red X going to the internet.
If I use a Verizon 2200 WIFI as my ISP, how can I use my Netgear WPN824 connected to my desktop, and then eliminate the need for a USB-WIFI dongle for the desktop?
I need to replace my Netgear WGR614 v6 router which is a good 4 or 5 years old, and i think is the cause of a very slow internet connection. Download speeds are reaching 1.1mb/s but browsing on the internet is unbelievably slow and fails to load pages most of the time saying the DNS look-up failed. I was thinking of purchasing the Buffalo Wireless-N300 Cable Router. I'm with Virgin Media, i think on 10meg broadband. I think it will support moving from wireless G to wireless N, but my laptop is fairly old too - Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook C series.
I have a Netgear wnr2000 v3 wirless router. Im trying to get the Verizon Samsung Network extender to work on it. I am using a ethernet cable not wireless. When i go into the Netgear's Control panel and click attached devices it does not show it and it wont work. I called verizon and they gave me port numbers to put it in the port fowarding but you need the IP address which i dont know
I am unable to connect to wireless network in my office. the configuration and all worked out just fine and I was able to connect unsecured, however when we put a key on there, I am unable to connect. I am even able to connect to my neighbour's unsecured network and I can connect to our wireless router via Ethernet cable.

Computer will connect to non secured WIXFDR-117 Clear wirless but when I set any authentication security types it only connects to the modemn and not to the internet.I get a Local connection only on the networking screen.I have tried WPA and WPA2 with TKIP and AES encryptions.It also will not connect using the ethernet cable on any settings.This computer did connect to a secured network though a 3 year version of netgear but I do not know the security settings.
basically, my iMac detects the extender as routername_EXT which is fine, but says that the password i type is wrong. when i use my original router with my iphone with the same password it works, but when i try to use it with my extender it says that the password is wrong.
I have 3 desk tops and 1 Laptop. the desk tops are wireless connected via my Xfinity ( cable Modem) and a Trendnet 652- 300 mgb router setup. Recently installed the Trendnet router ( initially w/o security). I was able to readily connect to and access all pcs to Internet. However, recently went to Trendnet on line site and installed Router password security. Was able to connect and access the Internet on 2 of the 3 desktop pcs as well as the Laptop. However, 1 desktop ( running on Windows XP Professional, 5.1.2600 SVCPK 3, Optiplex G x 60 ) does not permit access to Internet. Once I get to the screen asking for the password ( network key) , I insert same I receive an error message stating "Network key s/b WEP pr a WPA key".
I bought a used HP nc6000 and can't get it to connect to my secured account. The router I have is a Linksys E1000. I know my laptop has the wireless card and it's working because I can log into my "guest" account but of course that's unsecured and I don't want to be using it. Especially when we do purchasing over the internet. My laptop shows my secured account and when I try to connect it just says "waiting for the network" and then times out.I'm sure this is part of my problem and wnat to know if it can be fixed or not. The laptop shows WEP and the router is WPA or WPA2. Is there any way of making these work together.
I had been using my printer through my linksys router with no problem until I added a password to the linksys. Now I can't print. My computer says it can't "ping" the printer.
I can go to the public library and log on without a hitch, but at a coffee house or cafe I can not connect. Sometimes it says 'cannot validate..' and sometimes it just says 'unable to connect to wireless network' What gives?
we purchased a new Toshiba laptop recently w/ win 7 OS and we cannot connect wireless to router using verified password. all other laptops, computers, LCD, etc. connect with no issue. we are using N response and WPA2 security settings. we have changed security from personal to auto with no success. we have also changed settings from tpik and aes - no success. we have verified the password several time to make sure and we also tried a friend's laptop running win 2000 OS and it connected perfectly with password. the strangest thing is that we managed to connect the new Toshiba wireless (secured) at our friend's house eliminating the thought of an issue with the laptop. we upgraded the firmware to the lastest version and that did not solve issue. the new laptop sees the network router and request password but, cannot authenticate to connect
I have a Netgear WRG614 and a Westell 610015 Modem. I need Port Forwarding. I have tried setting up a static IP then Port Forwarding but it doesn't work. I have tried port forwarding from the modem but it doesn't work. I wanna forward ports "80, 9958, and 5816". The reason is because I am gonna host a game server on my computer.
I replaced a Netgear router with a similar Netgear router, but the LAN is no longer working.The old Netgear router would drop internet, but LAN would work. Replaced it, the new Netgear router works fine with the internet (cable modem), but the LAN with two computers will not work. The desktop with Windows XP, and a laptop with Windows 7. After runing network setups on both computers several times, I have been unable to reestablish the LAN, however internet access via the router is working. Reinstalled the old router and the LAN works fine, allowing file and printer sharing. Old router is a Netgear WGR614v2, new router is a Netgear WNR2000how to reconfigure the router/computers to get the LAN working again with new router.
I got new internet last Thursday. It is fiber optic through VTX1. I am running windows 7. I can connect to the internet just fine directly but when I try the netgear it tells me No Internet Connection. When I go through the setup process it tells me No Ethernet Cable is Plugged Into The Router Internet Port. When I hook up my very old Cisco router the internet and Wi-fi work just fine. I have updated the drivers and have windows firewall off. This is it plugged directly in:

I had an old G router that had an unsecured network. It died and I replaced it with an N router and installed a secured network. I have a cable modem with wires that goes to the router. From the router, I have CAT 4 wires going to several access points around the house. Into one of these acess points, I have pluged in a wireless access point that broadcasts wirelessly---unfortunately, it is broadcasting the old unsecured network. How can I make the wireless access point broadcast the new secured N network?
