Problem connecting a switch to a Linksys router.

Hello

I need a little help and I looked for a solution and tried some of the different proposals on other threads and nothing seems to work.  I have a Linksys WRT310N router wireless (most of the settings are enabled by default) connected to a cable modem.  The House I live in is connected through this router.  In my living room, I have a home theater setup where I want to connect several devices like an xbox, PS3, a media center and so on.  To do this, I placed a netgear gigabit switch in the living room to connect the devices.  Unfortunately, none of the devices can connect to the internet through the switch.  If I connect them directly to the wall jack in the living room (which is connected to the router), they work fine.  It's only when I add the switch in there that they do not work.  I tried to leave a port open on the button beside that I connect to the router, but who don't seem to have any effect.  I even exchanged the switch out for a brand new and it has the same way.  Is there a setting on the router I have to change to make it work?

Some additional information: it is a switch 8 ports with no uplink port.  When I plug in the devices, the lights on a blink switch show me that there was a link with them.  I called Netgear customer service and check that the switch is functioning properly.  When I connected a laptop computer, he could see other devices on the switch, but he was not able to connect to the router.  I think it may need a crossover cable, but I read that it is no longer necessary.

Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you

No, the switch is transparent.  If you connect a device on the switch, it still does not?

  • Unable to connect to the Internet through a Linksys router Vista Satellite L300

    Hello guys,.

    I hope someone can help me.

    I tried to configure connect wireless to the internet using my new laptop. I used the wizard to set up the connection and he found my linksys router and it binds with it very well. Then when he tries to test the internet connection, it will just say error. I have not had this problem before and I'm a bit confused.

    Please could someone help with this?

    Hello

    To my knowledge, the router first with the data from your ISP.

    If done correctly, you should be able to connect to internet via LAN cable.
    Did you check that first? Do this!

    So if you can properly connect to internet via LAN cable, I would recommend set up the WiFi network on the router.
    There is a will to put the SSID (name of the WLan) encryption settings, MAC address filtering, firewall, etc.

    If these settings have been configured correctly, then you could try to configure WLan settings on your laptop!

  • WRT320N slows down the speed of connection - terms of support of Linksys problem

    My internet connection speed slows down to about half of it is normal speed (or worse) until I have restart my router WRT320N. I see on the net that MANY other people have the same problem and can't seem to find a solution to this problem.

    I have the latest version of the firmware installed and I have the upnp is off

    I was told recently by a representative of Linksys Chat to perform this procedure, and I was wondering if anyone has tried and there set the coupling apparently daily slowdown that set in a reboot of the router for another day or two

    Here is the procedure that I was instructed to do...
    I was told disconnest the modem to the router-connect "than a PC ONLY" via a wired port #4 - reset the router by holding the button of reset in 30 seconds - switch off the router Linksys for 20 seconds and then turn it back on - check the LEDs of the Linksys router to make sure that the power, WLAN and port #4 are lit on the Linksys router. -clone the MAC - change "Mixed" wireless settings - name - change to 20 Mhz channel bandwidth and network use standard channel 11 - and in - use the Mode personal WPA - security settings and set my WPA pre-shared key password
    Before shutting down the PC and router - reconnect the modem to the router and the PC to the router - then make sure that the modem, the router and the PC are disabled for cycle a minute and the power of their back on with the modem being first - then turn on the router and last the PC

    Has anyone tried this, and he had to fix this downturn?

    Thanks in advance

    Well it's been 6 days that I woke up this morning and turned on the router and the modem from power overnight or lower I did after question troubleshooting the slow speed in the night before, does not

    I consistantly get in the 2 to 3% of the broadband speed I pay for - but I have no idea what fixed the issue

    So I'll mark it as "Resolved" and just hope that it comes not back again

    Thanks for the recommendations Klatch

  • I'm unable to access my Linksys router using Firefox browser version 9.0.1, but had no problem with knowledge is this normal or is there compatibility with Firefox problems?

    I am new to the Firefox browser and just tried to configure my Linksys router using Firefox and could not access my router, but had no problem with Internet Explorer. I was wondering is - this normal or there at - it set I can are wrong to use Firefox to fix my router?

    If you have the NoScript extension or other blocking JavaScript extensions (addons > Extensions), you must allow (or temporarily allow) the IP address of your router. Any particular setting should be held in Firefox itself.

  • Satellite M60-164 and the connection to the Linksys router

    Hello

    Ive had my Toshiba laptop a couple of weeks now and the stability of wireless is trying to grind on me...

    I had an older Toshiba laptop that I have connected to my linksys router with a PC card wireless of linksys... absolutely no problem at all with him for over a year...

    Since buying this one with built in the wireless, the only way I cn get the connectivity Toshiba dctor to detect the connection is too "no broadcast" disable my router, my neighbor commented that he could get on my network!

    Sometimes when the PC is start the 'LAN' and 'Wireless' icons on the departure to the high bar take ages to appear... and when they finally do a wireless has a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it... and the internet does not work...

    Sometimes it takes me 3 or 4 times to restart my computer and the router to recognize each other...

    It is certainly an issue on the laptop... I can always connect to each time without fail on the other laptop (who is now my wife) and I have a floor Office from PC using a netgear PCI Wireless crd and which connects no problem every time...

    But don't know about the card installed in this unit wireless network. It s a 2200BG Intel wlan card and if you will look on other assignments, there are many questions about this wlan card.
    Usually the wlan card driver update will solve some problem of connectivity and also turning off the power save mode in the properties of the wlan card.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Linksys router problem

    We have a Linksys router attached to my computer Win xp husband in Florida.  Last year, I was able to access the internet without problem with my laptop Dell600m.  When I tried this time around, even when he said I was connected and the signal strength was very good, I still could not get on the internet.  I spen a couple of hours of frustration to live chats with the guys from Linksys and it did not help. Finally, I decided to go back to the Linksys online and reset it again.  So, it worked and I can now connect to the internet and read mail from my laptop.

    BUT, my husband's computer now receives not all images on its Web sites, only the red X.

    No idea why this happened?  I can't imagine and don't want to lose my connection on the laptop, however, he would like to have photos!

    The IP address is Comcast and I think the problem was when they came to a maintenance operation because it did not work and they changed some settings.  They were not at all useful.

    If anyone has an idea how we can get his photos in return, we would be very grateful...  Thank you!
