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.

  • Not prompted to enter the password for the wireless connection.

    I have windows 7 and were able to access wifi trouble-free connections. However, today, I'm at a new location and when I click on the desired link I don't get no prompt to enter the password or key. I can access my computer connection currently wifes laptop so I know that the connection is working correctly. I went to control panel, network configuration and manage the connections and removed all my other connections. I rebooted and still cannot access the connection desired because I can not enter the password. I also tried to add the connection and it still doesn't work. Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    In the same exact location, your wireless computer does not work, and your wife request computer password and works OK with the password?

    The password prompt is displayed only after the computer is currently connected to the access point.

    Maybe your computer firewall blocks the ability to connect to the access point.

    Wireless in general.

    Most laptops have a physical switch for the wireless card. Read the manual of the computer and make sure that the wireless adapter is on.

    Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

    Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Above everything is OK and it connects to the wireless router. Log in from any computer which is, or can be connected to the router with a wire wireless, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless streaming is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    When the work turns on the Wireless security.

    Note * people sometimes make mistakes in writing and retype the password for security.

    Another way is to copy in the menu of the router and then paste it when asked of the wireless card.

    --------------------------------------------------

    I really checked and configured every thing and it doesn't work.

    Software firewall application that is not configured to allow local traffic (between the computer and the router is also a possible problem.
    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 .

    By entering the password, you must press the key several times to switch between its different characters, such as those used to type a SMS with mobile devices...

  • I can create a password for my wireless connection, but it still says that there is no guarantee. What should I do?

    I will create a password to my wireless connection, but he said still not guaranteed.  I'm doing something wrong?  I have windows 7 and use an ATT router.  I can't understand why I can't have a password, even if she gives me the opportunity to make a.

    There are safe areas normally two on a wireless router - one is the password to connect to the router and change its settings and the second is the Security (e.g. WPA2) wireless mode and the key.  This is the second (setting a mode of wireless security and the key) will change the label on your connection wireless "Unsecured."  You probably need to review instructions specific to your model of router in order to change the settings of the router.

  • Cannot change the password for my wireless connection

    The wireless router has changed the key and I need to change the key/password on my windows computer 7, but it is not letting me.

    Usually on other computers, you can right-click the connection wireless from the taskbar and it will give you options of 'Connect' and 'Properties' (and you can change it in the properties).  But on this computer, there is no 'Properties' option, simply connect.  How can I get the Properties tab?

    You use a third-party wireless instead of Windows Manager? If to check with the manufacturers support site or your user manual for assistance to change the properties of the wireless network.

    You could also, last spring, just remove the existing profile and then re-create it with the new encryption key.

  • Request for PIN serverside code?

    Hello guys,.

    I develop a serverside only approx. devices can use this application using an application client that connects to the service of the BES with MDS. Now, I would like to confirm their PIN NUMBER, so that I can retrieve the custom DB information.

    So, how can I get the PIN code of the BES? Clientside is no problem, there are enough examples here on the Board, but how do you know that on the side Server?

    Please advise and thank you in advance for your help!

    On your BES server, edit the file rimpublic.property (in c:\Program Research In Motion\BlackBerry Enterprise Server\MDS\Servers\xxxxx) and add these two lines:

    application. Handler.http.Logging = true
    application. Handler.http.Header = pine

    Then restart MDS.

    Http headers will then have a HTTP_RIM_DEVICE_ID entry with the pin of the device.

    is useful if your device connects to the server using http, of course.

  • How to find my WPA/WPA2 key for PS3 wireless connection?

    My needs for PS3 the WPA/WPA2-keys is my network PC or router.  Everything I tried failed.  I fear that my own PC network is assigned a new WPA key to my router and I can't find that key.  Is there a universal key by default?   Is this something I can unknowingly put in place myself?  Wouldn't be easier to just start a new home network and assign new keys?  Help, please!

    You will need to connect to your router and see if the security key is available for consultation.

    If this is not the case, as you say, it would be easier to reset the router to factory settings and start over.

  • Bishop Smartphones BB 8520 blackBerry desktop software requests for unblocking code connection

    I want my wife to backup is unlocked 8520 (tmobile running). Her friend tried to install an app some time ago (I don't know the details) and the result was it's the blackberry all deleted data instead. Thought I would setup the software of BB (for Win7) Office Manager but when connected it calls for the "unlock code". Wifey is scared s - less than at the time when I enter the unlock code, the bb will destroy itself again. And, of course, I don't want to be between it and the phone if that were to happen ;-). Can someone tell if it is safe to proceed? Or, if not (or if questionable), is there another way to backup/restore of the data on the phone? She has no data plan, btw. $30 / mo tmobile talk/text only is sufficient for its application.
    Thanks much for any help!

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Looks like she had a locking device assigned to his BB password. When it is in place, it is required when connecting to the PC to do something with this BB at all. So, since the PC keyboard, you must enter the correct password that customarily used to unlock his BB on his keyboard. If, given the difference in keyboards... a lot of people think that, on their BB, they hit some specific characters for their passwords when their password is something completely different... in fact, it's the characters of the password that are needed, not only the physical of the BB pressed keyboard keys (ALT and control keys using change as a result of the BB keyboard character).

    If you enter it's bad, it should say, as well as tell you how much you have left the attempts (usually there are 10 attempts). If this happens, then you can always untether and enter the password on the BB keyboard (they are the same counter), closely observe can see what are the actual password characters.

    Good luck!

  • 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.

  • Problems with getting a wireless connection for my IPOD touch 32 GB

    Bought an IPOD itouch 32 gb last night.  When I connected the ipod, it is connected to my itunes account and copied my music for me.

    It is also recognized by the name of WI - FI for my wireless account.  Unfortunately, I can't remember or find my password for my wireless connection and so I am unable to connect my wireless to the ipod and establishing the ability to connect to the internet and get my email, etc.

    What is the best course of action for me now.  Should I drop my wireless connection and it restore?  Note: I have a laptop that connects fine, but he asks me a password... it goes directly to the wireless?

    Thank you!

    Go into your router configuration utility and in most cases, you will see the password. If the password is not in clear text, you can change it to something that you will remember. If you do this, you will need to change the settings on the laptop, too.

    To enter the router configuration utility, connect a computer with an ethernet cable. Open a browser such as Firefox or IE and type the IP address of the router in the address bar. For a Linksys router, you must type: 192.168.1.1 [press on enter]. Refer to the manual of your router for more details.
