Is it straight forward to swap over from a wired router to a wireless one? The PC that is currently using the wired router will remain as a wired connection and some new items (laptop, PS3, Wii) will use the wireless connection. The wireless devices are already up and running in a different location and I was going to use the same router at the new location.
View 2 RepliesI am swapping my AT&T DSL and Comcast cable for U-verse. In the basement, I have a Netopia DSL modem connected to a Linksys BEFRS81 v. 3 ethernet Cable/DSL router/8-port switch. Cat 5 cables are attached to the router, then run throughout the house so we are "networked" to the DSL modem and use a patch cord from laptop or desktop into the wall to get to the Internet.

I currently have a 4 year old Dell XPS M1530 that recently died due to an rough impact. About to buy a new Dell XPS 15 and was wondering if I can easily swap my Sprint Mobile Broadband Card between the two. And if so would I only need to download a new driver for it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of swapping out an older 24 port Cisco catalyst 3525 POE switch running IOS 12.0(5) with a 48 port POE catalyst 3560 running ios 12.2(50)The trunk port on the older switch (that currently works) is in port Gig0/1 with as basic of a trunk config as you might find.
In the newer switch I have a 1000BaseSX SFP min gbic with a SC-LC fiber cable attached (8.3/125 – 15 meter.When I make the connections, I get no lights… no connection.
The school I work at upgraded to Cisco Catalyst 2960-S switches, all connected to each other via fiber. I am seeing a problem with one such connection. Cisco Network Assistant showed a "4-Warning" regarding the fiber link port: port was disabled because it was fluctuating between up and down too rapidly. Possible hardware problem, resolve and re-enable. (I'm paraphasing the message...it was 'acknowledged', and I can't bring it back up.)
This message was only showing on our "SV-Copy-Rm" switch's port 49. The other end, on "SV-Maint-Rm" port 49 showed a normal green link status.
Using Internet Explorer, I logged onto SV-Copy-Rm switch's Device Manager, and I first tried disabling/re-enabling port 49 on SV-Copy-Rm. It came back up blinking yellow and showing "port has bad link" when I cursor hovered over port 49. This continued for a few minutes, followed by port 49 being disabled again.
The current thing I'm trying is swapping the connection on both ends to a spare pair of fibers. I'm pretty certain I've swapped to the same pair on both ends, however, now neither switch shows an active link. I've disabled/enabled the ports on both ends, but still no link.
Question: How do I re-establish the above link? (The active connection has 'fallen back' to the designated ethernet Cat 5e connection and is currently running with that connection.)
I purchased and set-up the EA4500 on Thursday. Friday my ISP (Charter) was out and worked on connection for over 2 hours due to slowness issues. Connected directly to modem I get normal ping times on whichever computer is connected. When I get the computer connected by the router (hard wired) I get very long ping responses up to 900ms. They are all over the place 30ms (I can live with that), up to the 900's. I contacted Linksys support last night, who had me update to the cloud firmware and change MT U to 1300, have not noticed a difference. I did end up doing a hard reset on the router last night after I lost tech support. We were disconnected with router rebooted, and I didn't have the patience to connect again last night.
It was so slow on my work computer, a pint to yahoo timed out. The computers connecting to router are

I have an e2000 wireless router and have several devices connected by ethernet cable including private data on an external hard drive. I am planning to allow a tenant in another building connect via an ethernet cable connected to my router. Can I limit that computer (tenant's computer) from accessing all other devices connected by ethernet cable to my router? I know can password protect wireless access and limit access to the internet that way -- but my question is specifically to connections by ethernet cable.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy E4200 router no longer accepts any WIRED connections. I can connect from the modem to the computer and everything works as expected. I can connect other computers wirelessly to the router. I cannot connect any laptops WIRED to the router. Nothing has changed on the systems to restrict internet access. There is something wrong with the router and the WIRED ports. I tried going through the troubleshooting on this site but it was of little to no assistance. The Cisco Connect utility doesn't appear to accomplish anything either. My guess is because I cannot connect to the WIRED ports on the router to connect to the internet to allow for whatever troubleshooting that needs to be done.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a home network with a wired BEFSR41 that, for a variety of reasons, MUST be manually IP configured (DHCP off). All computers and other devices connected to it are manually IP configured. I desire to add a device that cannot be manually configured, and needs DHCP. I therefore need to daisy-chain two routers with the second one DHCP on (and manual IP connection to the main network). The new device needs two-way internet access, but doesn't care if it sees any other current network devices. I've tried several configurations, none seem to work.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a WAP54G in my basement shop, wired to our main router upstairs, which is a Linksys BEFSR81. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the WAP or the router.
I only use the laptop computer in the shop every couple of days, but I leave the laptop plugged in and on most of the time. I used to have the power settings such that it didn't power down completely even after a long time. With that setup, if i didn't use the computer for several days, it would find that the connection to the router had died. The wireless link would report that it had a solid connection, but I couldn't connect to anything. Power cycling the WAP always fixed this.
Recently, I decided to save some wear & tear on the laptop drive, and adjusted the power settings to go to standby after a couple of hours. Now, it seems I can't even go one day without losing my connection.
I am running the latest frimware in the WAP, and the router is version 3.1. I can't check the firmware version on the router at the moment, because the web interface is giving me a blank screen. I know from past experience that I will have to power cycle it to get it to talk to me again.
In any event, it seems like the router connection to the WAP is timing out. I set the router "client lease time" up to 10000 a while back when I first had this problem, but that is clearly not doing the trick.
I have an old BEFSR41 ver. 2 wired outer that I'd like to use with a motorola modem/router as a hub. Is this doable?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a D-link Wireless router (DIR-628) that is connected directly to my cable modem.
From this router I have cables connecting to various rooms in my house. One of those rooms is my home office and in this room my home PC is connected.
I recently purchased a network enabled printer that I want to hook up to the network. As I only have 1 drop in my office I need a switch or related piece of hardware.
Before I go and buy a switch it was suggested that I use an old wireless router I had in storage. So I dug out my D-link (WBR-2310) router and simply plugged it in.
I now have the second router connected directly to my wall outlet which in turn is connected to the wireless router in my utility room which is connected to the cable modem. I am not using the WAN input on the second router but instead am using port 1. Port 2 goes to my PC and port 3 goes to my printer.
Everything seems to work fine...... Except, sometimes some of my wireless connections (laptop, iphone etc...) seem to have connection problems.
Is this because of the second wireless router on my system? If so, how can I disable the wireless function of this second router?
can i use one of my hard wired router ports to plug in a wireless router and use them both?

View 1 Replies View RelatedCan a wireless router be plugged into one of the ports on a wired router?I use a wired router and won't use wireless router because of security concerns. However, I am putting a PC in another part of my house. This PC will have limited types of usage - and security concerns will not be an issue for the type of use that machine will have.Running coax across the house will be difficult. My thought was to use a wireless setup for this one machine. But that would work only if I can plug a wireless Router it into a port on my wired router.
1) Can I plug a wireless router into a wired router?
2) If the answer is yes, will that compromise security on the wired ports because the wireless router is connected to it?
Router (wired) = Linksys BEFSR41; Router (wireless) would be "G"
In my office we have wired network and DHCP is not configured. every one has to enter IP address manually.
I want to attach a wireless router so laptops connected with WIFI should be a part of same network.
A week ago, my desktop (with Windows 7) stopped connecting to the internet over it's wireless connection. It would connect to the router and obtain an IP address, but couldn't connect to the internet. All other devices in my home can connect just fine. Through the course of trouble shooting I found out that I can't connect to the internet with my desktop using a wired connection either. Also, I'm using ATT, so the modem and router are 1 unit.
Here's what I have tried:
Reinstalling the drivers.Resetting the wireless router to factory settings.Changing the security settings on the router.Running netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log ;netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log; netsh winsock reset catalog and restarting TCP/IP v4 and v6 are set to get automatically Made sure MAC address wasn't being blocked on router. I tried disabling ipv6 I can ping myself (@ 127.0.0.1) and no packets are lost. I tried pinging my ip address from the router, and nothing got through. This was true using wired or wireless. I tried connecting to the routers configuration page (using its IP address) and I couldn't. Did a virus scan and nothing turned up.
I have been having a heck of a time getting my gigabit network working off of either my new router, or 2 older ones. Since my house is wired with cat5 cables, I was thinking about putting an 8port router in my networking box that is tucked away in the corner of the house, and then using my new Dlink 857 router as just an access point in a more optimal location in the house.
My questions are as follows:
Would be slower for either the wireless internet speed or the speed of file transfers between the wired computers?
Would I be able to transfer files both ways from the NAS that would be hard wired to the 8-port router? Is there any benefit/disadvantage to my idea that I have not thought of? I know it is possible, but do I want to do it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIntalled a new router (Linksys Cloud 1200) yesterday. Immediately after that the 2 computers that were connected to the network could no longer access the internet. My laptop and my ipad can access the internet wirelessly. The laptop which was not connected to the network when I connected the router can access the network both wirelessly and wired. Printers attached to the network will print without a problem.Finally I took an old computer out of storage (running WinXP) and hooked it up to the wired network. It too has no problems accessing the network. So have to assume the issue is a software issue with the two computers that were hooked up to the network when I changed the router.I have read the posts here - I did a stack reset on one of the computers but no luck. I removed Norton 360 and Team Viewer which in other posts people said they had issues with...to no avail.
Since I dont have a wireless connection to the 2 computers that cannot access the internet - I cannot download TSG SysInfo. However here I did copy the ipconfig lines below from the desktop thats not responding. [code] Was working fine until I replaced the router. I tried going back to the oldrouter (Netgear) same issue - no wired internet connectivity.

When I tried to use the XPS, I found that it had no connection. I regained connectivity after using the Windows Network Diagnostic tool, but neither computer seems to keep connectivity when left alone, at least for very long.
