• How to access internet throug a firewall of the Linksys router?

  Recently, I went to the ADSL2 + Internet broadband.

  So bought router "CISCO Linksys WAG120N" as my hardware firewall (FortiGate60) had no any port to connect to ADSL.

  Now I am accessing internet throug the Linksys router above and do not use the firewall because I don't know how to configure the firewall to get access to the internet through the firewall of the router.

  My previous broadband service was directly connected to the WAN port on the firewall because it was compatible.

  Please help me to configure the firewall to access the internet from the router through the firewall.

  Thank you

  You must configure the WAG120N in Bridge mode and then configure your firewall to your (probably PPPoE) internet connection.

  Personal information and files on your wireless network can sometimes be seen by people to pick up the signal from your network. This can lead to identity theft and other acts of violence. A network security key or password can help protect your network against this type of unauthorized access wireless. Refer to this article for more information:

  Public folders are a convenient way to share files on your computer. You can share files in the public folders with other people using the same computer and with people using other computers on your network.

• How to secure my network name?

  I have a WRT160N router. It is functional but not guaranteed. How I name it and fix it?

  Thank you!

  Connect a computer to the Ethernet port on the router.

  Open the Internet browser and in the address bar type http://192.168.1.1 . Connect to the router configuration page. The default IP of the Linksys router is admin, let the empty user name.

  Click the wireless set the configuration found in the manual. Replace the name of the wireless network SSID and channel 11. Save the settings.

• Request for Pin wireless connecting to a linksys router

  I want to heck the feature in windows vista that asking to enter a PIN instead of simply asking for my shared key of wireless wpa. Can someone tell me please how to disable this feature in windows vista.

  The possibility of using a PIN instead of a password for wireless is on the router, not the computer . Go to the Linksys configuration utility and disable the PIN requirement wireless has from there. This is general information about implementing a secure wireless network, which includes how to enter the configuration of the Linksys utility.

  Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

  http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

  This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine. The first thing to do is to change the default password because * all * known default passwords for different routers.

  Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

  Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar. ;-)

  Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). Most computers purchased during the last 4 years have the wireless hardware that will support WPA2-Personal (also known as WPA2-PSK). This is the desired encryption level. If your wireless hardware is older, use WPA. Don't use WEP, because who is easily broken within minutes. So go ahead and set the Security Mode WPA2-Personal. Do this and enter a password. For example, you could use the password ' here be dragons, beware you scurvy dogs! The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

  At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password that you have created (exactly as you wrote it with all capital letters and punctuation) to join the network and start surfing.

• Windows Vista Home Basic Edition, Acer laptop wireless, Linksys router and connect Lexmark X 9350 wireless network.

  I'm tired... I tried everything I can think of, as well as everything I can find online in order to connect my printer Lexmark X 9350 WiFi for my Acer laptop which is connected to my home network wireless via my linksys router. At the same time, the printer has been set up through my existing wireless network and was working properly. (FOR A SINGLE DAY!) Then I got the bright idea to installNorton Anti Virus Security. Since then, my printer stopped working through the wireless network. It works as a stand-alone Copier and fax machine, but nothing of the printer.  I contacted Lexmark via online support, but their suggestions did not work or were so confusing that it would take a computer technology to interpret the instructions to correct the problem. I learned more about the Wi - Fi networks and computer by trial and error, I should be able to re - connect my printer the eyes bandaged.  Help, please... This problem is ongoing for weeks. Thank you so much in advance.

  Just a thought, as you say it started with Norton check his firewall exceptions:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  Have a read of the link above re Vista file and printer sharing.

  Permissions/Share info is there as well.

  If you use Norton, make that file and printer sharing is enabled in THE Firewall (or LAN enabled, depending on how their Exceptions are formulated in their firewall)

  See you soon.

• Problem with access to the camera on the net via dsl modem and linksys router

  OK, I read all posts here on what to do in this case and think I have tried everything. I have an Actiontec dsl (verizon) and a v2 wrt110 router. I can see the camera locally, but not on the net. I had it hooked to another place but with cable service broadband with no problems.

  I think that the problem of my lie with ip addresses.

  Camera 192.168.0.115

  Router 192.168.0.1

  Modem 192.168.1.1

  The port forwards on the modem MUST be set to port forward to the IP Address of the Linksys router. It should be only the modem IP can see, so it's the only place you can move forward from the modem. What exactly is in this drop-down list in the config of the modem port forwarding?

  The problem is that there are two distinct here networks once you are inside your modem. There is a network between the modem and the router. Allthat is on it is the modem's ethernet interface and the port of the Internet router (or WAN). There is another network on the side the router as your PC's LAN, camera, etc. are on. All know the modem is how to get to the network to which it is directly connected to. While you could add a route staic on the modem to tell him how to get to this network, the modem must still know I have oprt route traffic to your camera to the router.

• Security number of Linksys WRT300N?

  Due to problems with my wifi, I had to reset my router and the modem. I need to reinstall my settings now, and that's why I need to write a security number. That should be written on the back of my router (model WRT300N), a bar code with 8 numbers. I can't find this code. Where I can find it or is there another way to reinstall my connection and put a password on it? It is now open access. Thanks in advance for your support. (I don't have the manual or box more, so this is not an option).

  No need to use the on the router 8 digit PIN because not all devices do not ask for it. What you can do, is the security of the network by going to its page configuration and installation of security from there. For detailed instructions, you can visit this link: set-up of WEP, WPA or WPA2 Personal security on a Linksys wireless router wireless. For security strengthened, I suggest that use you WPA2 Personal.

• How can I determine if my router is able to bridge Mode

  I have a linksys router WRT 54G I want to have the ability to Bridge Mode. How can I determine if this router has this ability.

  Linksys Article ID: 24583 details the procedure to develop a device that is able bridge in bridge mode, but which numbered ports on the router bridge Mode access.

  Thanks for any help.

  Linksys WRT firmware does not support bridge mode. You will need to use a 3rd party such as DD - WRT firmware.

• Can someone help me to establish a wireless connection with an Android Cruz Tablet and a Linksys router?

  I have a Linksys WRT54G2 V1 and received a Velocity Cruz T301 and cannot figure out how to configure this wireless, I don't have the cd or the manual that is supposed to come with her. Any ideas on how to solve this problem? I've got Linksys plugged into my desktop ok, but when I try to access the installation page that says let him the empty user name and use admin as password should it take me to the installation site. That is not the case, that is to say invalid.

  Tablet turns on fine and shows different connections wireless with little locks on them. The 1st time I tried to set up a connection, he showed with others, but it has a lock on it and wants to know the password. He used the name of my computer not the Linksys.

  My computer is hooked on one of the 4 ports and says that I have excellent connections. There is a Linksys right below that, but he said connection is bad. It is not locked, but is not strong enough to get even on the tablet of the Cruz connection.

  Now I know why I've always had wired connections, cause it makes me crazy. If anyone can help I'd be very happy. If only I could get across to the top of page the things would be very different, I'm sure, but it is just let me access it. I tried 3 different browsers. My computer Windows Vista on a Dell vostro 220 desktop is connected to the Linksys router and works fine.

  Hello

  Please see the link below.

  I suggest also please contact the manufacturer of the Tablet for assistance.

• I have an Officejet 8500 has more, but he can't find my Linksys router

  I just bought an Officejet 8500 a more printer,.

  It does not detect my router Linksys (WPA), all the other networks in this area are visible, except our Linksys router, with WPA security.

  Tried to set up with the software, plug the USB printer and tried to connect the linksys router, it say: you are out of reach of your wifi access point (something like that)

  Help?

  Here are some tips:

  1. ensure that 802.11 g is present.  Other modes (such as 802.11n) wireless are OK, but g must be present.

  2 broadcasting your SSID and don't use MAC filtering.

  3. make sure that your router has the latest firmware.
