2 wireless residential gateway - att

I share a wireless residential (att) gateway with my landloard as part of my rental agreement.

How can I be sure that I have my system secure from prying eyes?  Both Landloard and neighbors?

  • Wireless broadband gateway WBG-1200 Toshiba has

    Hello

    I have this router, but could not find updates the firmware for it on the Web from Toshiba site? Is there anything (I think it's a discontinued product)?

    The reason I ask is because the device has stopped working since my ISP changed my ADSL connection to the ADSL service BT instead of the normal ADSL Max.
    This device should work with ADSL Max? Do I need to change the settings to make it work?

    Thank you.

    Hi gloomdog,

I couldn't find any firmware updates online, but would suggest you reset the router and let automatically pick the BT wholesale's ISP configuration.

  • Cannot access the internet using a wireless connection via ATT Uverse using laptop computer with Windows XP

    My wireless Internet connection has stopped working when I converted to ATT DSL to ATT Uverse.  My laptop sees the network and says I'm connected with all the green "bars".  However, when I try to connect to the internet I have two things to happen.  Either I get a long period which ends with the message that I can't connect to the network.  Or - I can connect to the internet for a very short period of time - a part of a screen is displayed and then crashes.  I entered the codes of security several times to ensure accuracy.  How to solve this problem?

  • Connect my Officejet Pro L7580 on my my wireless home gateway

    Is it possible to connect my Officejet Pro L7580 all-in-one directly to my Motorola Wireless Gateway?  I consider the printer becomes visible by other wireless devices and would allow me to print wireless laptops, my iPhone, etc.  Currently, the printer is connected via a USB cable directly to our pc at home.  From a wireless perspective, I currently have the available printer to print wireless connection first via the pc at home.  It works intermittently and the home pc must be on to make it work.  My Wireless Gateway has only an Ethernet port which is connected to the pc at home and it has a USB port.  Not sure of the term appropriate for the size of the USB port, but it is not standard and the size is associated with the USB output on most printers.  Thank you!

    Yes, you can keep it connected, but I don't know why you would want to.  All of its features will be available through the connection to a gateway.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910g impression - but never does

    Printer model:

    Operating system:
    MS Windows XP Media Center Edition, V 2002, Service Pack 3

    Method of connection:
    Wireless residential gateway AT & T U-Verse

    Description of the problem:

    Network printer not printing after the first print job prints. Display printer panel says

    "print...". "and the laptop display for printer status says" error - printing "(HP Officejet

    Pro 8500 A910 (network) - required user Intervention).

    I ran the HP Print Diagnostic Utility 4.1 for this printer when this has

    has occurred. He meets problem with queue print - print jobs are stuck in the print queue

    (list of files waiting to print). Click on fix to remove and print again

    jobs. I click on Fix and basically it tells me that it is impossible to clear the queue, to transform

    the printer off and on again, restart your computer and re-run the diagnostic tests which

    not looking then no problem with printing.

    I'm only able to print after turning the printer and then turn it on again - and that a single document

    or file with success before coming back to the same behavior. This is not a solution because it

    a printer is used for small businesses.

    All functions worked very well after the initial installation. Not sure when stopped working as he

    is used mainly during the tax season. There has been no hardware to my configuration changes

    Since the initial installation.

    Fax: The printer receive fax but never prints (now printing... displayed on the screen of the printer up to)

    I'm going to printer and on again.)

    Please help solve the problem. What information do you need?

    I tried both solutions you provided.

    None worked.

    I had the problem with a HP Photosmart 2610 AIO printer that I have had for almost 10 years. Has been using remanufactured ink cartridges and they work perfectly until there are about 3 1/2 months. The printer works now than if I use HP ink cartridges. I'm guessing that some required HP update HP ink cartridge only!

    I have tried everything I know to try and even some suggestions for HP and nothing works. So, I thought to replace the remanufactured cartridges that were installed in my printer 8500 currenty (I had a mixture of HP and refurbished who had worked successfully for a while) with original HP cartridges.  This seems to have solved my problem with printing.

    Of course, there was a HP update that required the printer using HP ink cartridges to perform. Is there anyway that we can get this update? If so, I would like instructions to do it for my two printers.

    Thanking you in advance for a quick response.

    Kind regards!

  • Stream Mini 200-010: upgrade BCM43142 on HP Mini 200-010 Stream wireless

    I have upgraded to Windows 10 and because of the location of my residential gateway (RG), I'm limited to wireless. I want to upgrade the card to an AC class with bluetooth wireless. I have updated the drivers, but still have a dropout.  Someone at - it a good upgrade adapter known? I replaced the card in my laptop and it connects now reliable tape 5g without abandonment.

  • New wireless brother MFC-495 does not print Windows XP laptop

    Similar to other issues but quite different:

    1 installed the printer on the desktop that does not have wireless using the USB port.  Prints.

    2nd software installed on my laptop wireless.  I can see the printer in the Printers folder, it says ready, but will not be printed.  Printer has been implemented with the SSID, etc. and has even an indicator that it's getting the wireless signal.  I know that the laptop is wireless or I would not be writing from it now.

    How do I get my laptop and printer to really talk to each other?  BTW, my wireless router works fine from my phone runs Android on it.  Power doesn't have to be on the desktop for this.

    I really don't want the computers on the network since I will be out of the office, but so far the system made me do in my attempts to get the printer to print wireless.

    I have all the IP addresses, but rather would not provide them.  Had problems with the protection of privacy on several fronts recently.

    When I go to printers and faxes, I have several printers 'shared' here.  Probably because I installed the drivers for the printer on the desktop and laptop.  Regardless, none of the printers to print from the laptop from the desktop computer.  The port on one is "roselaptop": Port TCP/IP Standard.  The other is COM4: serial port.  I have 2 computers on a network as a network home and figured that should solve the problem.  The laptop is the "residential gateway" in the network set up.  Looks like I should be able to add this wireless printer to the network.  It's playback a signal very well.

    I'll try to disconnect the USB cable from the desktop computer and see what happens.

    Thank you for all your detailed descriptions that have helped me!

    Rose

    You are currently too caveats regarding the IP addresses, but may help the following:

    When you have a router, the ONLY IP address that is "seen" by the rest of the Internet is one assigned to your router by your ISP.  The router assigns IP addresses to the devices to the 'internal' - your LAN - that's why they are called "private" IP addresses  There are three blocks of these private IP addresses: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255; 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255; and 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255.  Almost every router uses the third block (which has the smallest number of possible addresses).  And almost every default router uses is 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.0.255 or 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.255.

    Regardless a block of IP addresses used by your router, it is important that all devices are on the same subnet.  For example, if the default gateway (which is the local IP address of the router) is 192.168.1.1, then your computer AND the printer must have the form 192.168.1.x IP addresses.  If your default gateway is 192.168.0.1, then others should be 192.168.0.x.

    The difference between a shared printer and a network printer, the shared printer is a "resource" of a computer that is connected to the network.  In order to access a shared resource (if it is a file on the hard disk of the computer, or a printer attached to the computer by a cable of USB, series or parallel), the computer that "owns" the resource must be turned on and connected to the network.

    In your original post, you said that you had a wireless router.  This is the typical way that specific set up networks.  It is inconsistent, however, describing your laptop as the residential gateway.  Maybe say you you see an icon called "Residential gateway" laptop "My Network Places."  If so, this icon represents your router.

    Your description of the ports is also confused.  Usually, when you configure a port for the printer, the port name is the name you give to the printer - not the laptop.  But what is important here is that the IP address displayed on the screen 'Set up the Port' for the port of "TCP/IP Standard" that the printer uses (the one with the box), must be the same as the IP address assigned to the printer (which you find in print 'report Network Configuration' from the control panel of the printer).

    Hello

    Maybe this can help.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted

    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  • Linksys makes a Combo of Modem/Router Wireless N cable

    Does Linksys router wireless n gateway, a combination router and cable modem?

    Currently I have the unit combined for wireless g, but upgrade to wireless-n.

    Thank you!

    I think at the moment that doesn't sell Linksys 802.11n gateways.

    I generally recommend not getting the combined devices, but better to get two separate devices, a simple modem and a wireless router.

    1. you have a far greater choice of products for the router, and they are usually less expensive.

    2. in the event of the death of the router you can still have internet via the modem directly. If the combined unit dies, you are in offline mode.

    3. less functions in a more simple design makes the device and averages more stable and more reliable devices.

    4. you can replace a device at any point. For example, if you pass the ADSL or FTTH cable you can simple replace the modem. You may need to change the configuration on the router but other internet connection so that you can keep the router. Similarly, if two years from now, you want to get the router new generation wireless you can continue to use your modem (if it is still suitable for your internet speed)

  • Some clients get assigned to WRT300N, while others do not have a default gateway

    Two existing working posts, existing wireless phone and other wireless cable connects to the internet very well.

    Try adding cell phones work, they aquire signal wireless, gets the assigned DHCP IP address but can't connect. Looked at the output of ipconfig and shows no gateway by default - IP of the router is 192.168.1.1 - with everything by default, I did a reset on it.

    The existing machines have all default gateway assigned. Only difference I see is working machines are XP pro. Never had a problem with laptops work connect anywhere else.

    Any ideas on how to install in order to work laptops can connect?

    Correct your network configuration in vmware. After that a "ipconfig / renew *" or a reboot must get a new lease of work, including the default gateway. Make sure that vmware does not use the 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 subnet for network cards.

    Hello everyone!

    Here's my problem:

    When I turned on my Xoom this morning I received the notification that he was ready to receive the update of the system. I clicked to start the download of the update, and then noticed that my Xoom was using 3G instead of wifi. I tried to put it on my wifi (AT & T), but was unable to come. I tried to restart my Xoom, thinking that could clear up the problem; It did not work. It took a reboot of my residential gateway to run wifi. When the Xoom reconnected to the wifi, it was not download the update of the system.

    My reboot it to prevent the update of download?
