• Internet connection problem, error: status WAN down.

  Hello. We have a Windows 7 and a Motorola 2247-N8 wireless modem/router. Recently, our internet connection has dropped. I was able to reboot the router, but on the main login page, it says "Status WAN" is declining and the PPP username and password are empty. These two things are related? Can I do to solve this problem? Thank you.

  Thanks for the information.  Your observation of the Westell modem/router is in line with what your ISP says you: your modem is assigned an IP address by a DHCP server at your ISP.

  Your two pieces of equipment have in fact several parties.   Both of them have modems, which is the interface between you and your ISP.  Both of them have routers.  A router is required between the two networks; in your case, this is the Internet on one side and your local area network (LAN) on the other side.  Unit integrated Motorola also a wireless access point.

  You only need one of each part: a modem, a router, and a wireless access point.

  Normally, you should be able to use the Motorola device and renounce the Westell unit.  However, the unit modem Motorola seems to have a problem to connect to your ISP.  According to the User Guide, that I found for him, this unit of Motorola doesn't seem to be able to connect to the type of system used by your ISP.

  You can use parts of two devices: the modem and router Westell unit and wireless point from the Motorola unit.

  I'm going to assume that this is the User Guide for the your Motorola device--> http://www.arrisi.com/modems/datasheet/2247-n8/2247_user_manual.pdf

  Connect an Ethernet cable between your computer and one of 4 yellow Ethernet ports on the unit of Motorola.  Open a web browser and type http://192.168.1.254 in the address bar and press enter (see page 13 operating Guide).  You may or may not assign a password for the configuration utility (you should end this) as described in step 4.  Skip steps 5 to 7.

  Click the "Configure" (page 16), then click on "DHCP server".  Uncheck the box "Enable DHCP server", and then click "apply changes".  You want to disable the DHCP server in the Motorola unit because you plan to use the DHCP server in the Westell unit.

  If you already haven't, go back to the configuration menu and click 'Wireless' and set "of basic wireless settings" (p. 21), you want wireless to be activated, you want the 'Standard' to be compatible with your laptop and other wireless devices (B/G/N is the most flexible; use G or N-only if you know that all your wireless devices use the same wireless standard).  I recommend uncheck Wireless Protected Setup.  "Channel" should be 1, 6 or 11 (you may or may not need to change the channel; in general, this is necessary if you live in an area where there are many nearby wireless networks, as a residential building).

  In the "Wireless security" (p. 23) article Choose WPA2 if all your wireless devices support this standard. Otherwise, use WPA.  Don't use WEP or anything.  Do not 'hide the SSID' or "Block Wireless Bridging."  If you wish, enter a new name SSID (p. 24). If you do this, do not use your name or address in the SSID name.

  Make sure you click on "Apply changes" once you make a configuration change.

  At this point, you can exit the utility of configuration of the Motorola.

  Disconnect all connected to DSL entered the Motorola phone.

  Plug the phone cable between your wall socket and the entrance of LILY on the Westell unit.

  Connect an Ethernet cable between the port of 'Data' at the back of the Westell unit and one of the yellow Ethernet ports on the unit of Motorola.

  At this point, you should be able to access the Internet using any device connected by wifi to the Motorola unit or (b) any device connected to one of the 3 Ethernet ports yellow on the unit from Motorola which is not used to connect to the Westell unit.

  Last words:

  If you created a password to access the device configuration utility (and you should), write it down on a sheet of paper and the paper to the tape drive.

  The IP address, you need to use in order to access the configuration of the Westell unit unit is 192.168.1.1.  Write this on the same sheet of adhesive paper such as password and the Westell Westell unit.

  The IP address, you need to use in order to access the Motorola unit configuration utility is 192.168.1.254.  Write this down on the same sheet of paper as the Motorola password and stick it to the Motorola unit.

  The DHCP server in the Westell unit by default local IP addresses assignment between 192.168.1.15 and 192.168.1.47.  This should be more than enough.  You can check the IP address local to any computer by opening a command prompt window and typing in Windows

  ipconfig/all (press on enter)

  This will show you the IP addresses assigned to all NICs (wired and wireless).  You need only be concerned with IPv4 (not IPv6) addresses.

  Note that if you open a web browser and go to a site such as http://www.whatismyip.com/ , you will be able to see the IP address public attributed to your Westell modem by your ISP's DHCP server.  In this case, "public" means that all users can see at this address.  However, router Westell "cache" local to your devices IP addresses so they are not visible on the Internet.

• Strange internet connectivity problem

  Hello!

  I'm having a connectivity problem I have never met before. I use a wireless router from Apple with internet cable.

  Yesterday, my computer would be is no longer in contact with my router wi - fi. I get a message that the network could not be attached (I ran the Diagnostics wireless, but it's a whole lot of sense to me empty files). However, I also have a Roku, and which IS connected to the WiFi without problem. I completely stopped and restarted the computer, no joy. Reset the modem and the router, no joy. Still works with Roku, not with the computer. But the weird part is, I have Optimum Online, which allows subscribers to log-in to its hotspots, and it worked! I am connected Optimum wi - fi network on my computer right now.

  So I don't know where is the problem! It is not the router, because this is related work with Roku and is not the computer, because it is connected and working with the Optimum hotspot. What gives?

  Try this!

  Go to the Apple menu > System Preferences > network

  Select a Wi - Fi connection in the sidebar and then click on the button "Advanced...". "in the lower right corner of the screen

  In the list of preferred networks, delete the name of your Wi - Fi network

  Click on the "OK" button to save that change and then 'apply' in the network preferences window.

  Now, go to the Applications folder > utilities > Keychain Access

  Make sure that "Login" keychain is selected and "All items" in the category is selected in the sidebar

  Use the search field to find items that Keychain with the name of your Wi - Fi network and remove

  Quit Keychain Access

  Now try and access your Wi - Fi network

  you have set in the router? Are there obstacles in the path?

  Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

  Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click
  top - tab of the driver - write version - click on update driver (can't do
  nothing that MS is far behind the certification of drivers). Then right click on the Wifi

• Satellite Pro C665 and internet connection problems

  Hi, will try and give as much information as I can, so sorry for the long post.

  I bought this new laptop in August is so very old, I connect to the internet with modem USB 3 G telstra and a cycle of 3 weeks he began to abandon the connection within 30 seconds approximately.
  The blue LED on the identification of the USB modem still flash, it has a connection, but I would get the yellow explanation mark on the icon of internet connection in the task bar.

  Now, the only way to recover the connection must close the connection of Telstra, unplug it, plug it back in and reconnect, a few times I have to reboot and will have to go through this routine 5 - 6 times and sometimes up to 10 attempts before I get a stable connection.

  So first I thought it might be the USB modem, so I got a replacement of telstra, but made no difference, then I had a replacement sim card and still no luck.

  Then I did a new install of Windows 7 and installed all the current updates, still no go.

  I then bought a wireless router to eliminate the USB connection and still have the same question.

  Sometimes it can be very frustrating trying to get a solid connection, but once it gets a good connection, it will stay connected for hours without any problem

  I'm not an expert with computers, but can usually find a solution to problems of software, I have, but that left me speechless and I think I've covered most of the region to address this.

  Thanks for your time.

  Unfortunately I can't say anything on Telstra 3 G USB modem. Toshiba doesn't support third party hardware, software and does not offer any kind of support.

  I put t know where you got this USB modem but I m wondering you didn't visit their store and test in functionality it bring your laptop with you. The people who work there could make inspection on site.

  I also put t know why you have this problem at home. Your router is not known to us, but is there a difference when using WLAN secure or unlocked and without password?

• Satellite C850-19Z - internet connectivity problem

  Hello

  I bought this laptop about 14 months ago and have had fairly consistent problems with internet connectivity. Initially, the problem occurred when the prompt "Choose your browser" would appear. After selecting IE or chrome, in a day or two, we would start to get the "limited connectivity" message. We have around this simply by avoiding the selection of the browser prompt, but would still have problems every few months, IE being told there was a communication problem with the DNS server.
  We did the usual stuff: unplug the modem for a few minutes and sometimes he would settle the matter, but only temporarily.

  Usually, as soon as the first problem arises, it would be just a matter of time until we could get no connection whatsoever. The only thing that could make it work again was a complete restoration of the system, we have done 5/6 times over the months.

  In any case, it happened again, but this time NOTHING we tried before doesn't work. He started by see us full bars and 'connected', but being not able to open Web pages and now tells us that there is the usual problem of "DNS server".
  Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm not able to get a new laptop, or pay for repairs now.
  I must also respectfully as advice or assistance request to explain as if you were talking to a 5 year old... This is NOT my fort!

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Usually all the laptops with the factory settings and good connection LAN or WLAN can be used immediately for the internet. You have to just pick your favorite browser or install it also and just start using it.

  In your ad I didn't understand one thing: what type of connection do you use.
  Are you using a LAN or WLAN connection?

• Windows Firewall/Internet connection problems

  Recently, a problem came with my Windows Firewall. I don't know what caused the change, but I'll be surfing the internet very well, when a small bubble appears in my task bar that says: "your computer may be at risk. No firewall is turned on. "This has happened in the past, but when I clicked on the bubble to check before, my firewall is activated, so I simply rejected it. However, just a couple of days I noticed that when this bubble came, my internet connection would fail temporarily. So, when I saw the notice again once my firewall was not turned on, I checked. It seems that Windows Firewall turns itself off tension. I have no idea why he would do this. I manually turned it on again several times, but still it does.

  I run Windows XP Media Center Edition and (to my knowledge) have all the service packs/updates.

  -Josiane

  Well, I asked a friend gifted in computer science, he suggests Spybot. I downloaded spybot, scanned my computer and found a Windows Firewall security override in my registry. Deleted Spybot, and now all is well again. This is a very quick and easy solution.

  I can do the most sophisticated malware cleaning below to another date, when it is more convenient for me.
