Routers

I just installed a new router, Linksys Wireless G, model No.: WRT54G at my home PC which runs on Windows XP Professional, version 2002, Service Pack 3 and installed with no problems.  My son is able to connect with his X - Box 360 and works great.  However, I am having a problem connecting with my laptop that has the same operating system.  Before the Linksys I was using a Netgear, WGR614v6, who started working intermittently and X - Box Live my son would be cut out of him in the Middle being online. (This is why we have tried to change the routers).  When I put in place at the start, there was no security on the router and I've always had difficulties to access the internet on my laptop and then we added security with a WEP key and are still having some problems.  I went through the installation program on my laptop but it doesn't seem to make a difference.  I have no problem to access internet with Netgear product.  After we had put in place, we realized that the problem could be a faulty connection wire from the router to the modem cable, but since we already went through the installation process we thought we would stay just with the Linksys.  I also noticed on the Linksys box they mention includes WPA2 and WMM, but she does not mention WEP.  Would it be that simple?  I'd appreciate any help.

  • How is it that we still have the ssl_error_weak_server_cert_key error when you try to access the Linksys routers?

    We had this error pop up in FF 32 and 33 and 34 FF fixed it. How is it that since FF38.1 returned error and even now with 40 FF, the error is still there. Why is no longer an exception option Add to these routers? Even some of the most recent always give this error.

    You probably cannot update the key, but you can complain to Linksys.

  • Can I use 2 routers on my home network?

    Can I use 2 routers on my home network? I have a modem/router combo Xfinity but my Airport extreme must be a router that is better than what came with the Xfinity plan. I was told you can use 2 routers for various computers (iPhone, iPad, iMac, etc) and choose the one that gives the best range and result.

    Do you use a separator line and then to the cable connection? Or would I connect the Airport Extreme in the router/modem by an Ethernet cable Xfinity? In any case, what has worked for you, assistants out there?

    Do not use 2 routers, they will conflict (without careful configuration) and even when they are not there is nothing to be gained by.

  • no support of applecare for airport routers?

    I just bought an Airport Extreme 802.11ac to replace a previous 5th generation of the model.

    I don't know if I can get Applecare for it. In the past, other devices (iMac, Macbook, etc..) Contract AppleCare would be applied.

    I find no information to date.

    I had good and bad experiences with the device of Gen 5:

    The bad: 3 routers crossed in 4 years (2012-2016)

    Good: everything covered by the warranty and Applecare

    The ugly: Tucoin the Sergio Leone film, no Breaking Bad

    Anyone? Can you help me? Had similar experiences with the 5th Gen routers? My much older Express is always humming (via Airplay, I guess) after 6 years of daily water courses.

    I don't know if I can get Applecare for it.

    AppleCare is not available for only the AirPort Extreme.

    AirPort Extreme comes with a 1 year warranty. But, if you have indeed AppleCare on your Mac, the airport is covered up to 3 years from the date of purchase.

  • Network: 2 routers Apple broadcasting separate wireless networks; one (Xfinity/Comcast) cable modem

    Hello community!  Need help, I want to use two routers to establish two separate wireless networks on a cable modem connection.  I searched for my answer and see some other threads on this topic, but all are either a bit too technical for me, are incomplete on the answers to my questions - and all seem to be locked.  I have also searched YouTube and only see videos to extend a network with two routers - not my goal.  So here is a long, but a detailed post on what I need someone help with - thank you very much in advance if anyone can all small-not me-I hope it will be useful to others in the future.

    The program installation/hardware: I have internet Comcast/Xfinity that runs to a Motorola surfboard cable modem (SB6141).  I also have two routers apple - a Time Capsule from Apple AirPort (to end 2013) and a new (2016) AirPort Extreme.

    Purpose: This is what I need--I need two separate wireless networks.  Before going further, by using the guest account and 5 GHz of a single router isn't an option for me.  I need to have both wireless networks separate (one of each router), do not talk to each other, or allow access between the two - the only is that they share the Comcast internet gateway.

    My plan is to have the cable modem Surfboard connect to airport Time Capsule, which will then connect to AirPort Extreme (even if it could be reverse - no difference, except that the data that I show below comes from the time Capsule, which is currently connected to the modem cable).

    To read the previous discussions, it seems that the starting point would be: modem router #1 Ethernet WAN, then a router cable #1 LAN Ethernet to the Router #2.

    First issue of clarification - the connecting cable should go to the Ethernet WAN port on the Router #2 or a LAN Ethernet port?

    Now that the first easy question is the road, I need help to configure two routers connected to allow two separate networks.  A lot of discussions about the positions of static IP addresses, cascade, etc..  I need specific help with AirPort Utility on what to change on what router.  It seems obvious that the settings under the 'Internet' and 'Network' tabs are those who need to set - the 'wireless' tabs simply treats the name of the wireless network and settings - these, at least I can understand!

    I'll organise this tabbed - here go us.

    First of all, the "Internet" tab/window Airport utility. Here are the options:

    Connect using: Router #1 has currently DHCP (which I think is OK?) What should it be set to Router #2?

    This tab lists also the current address in IPv4, the (255.255.254.0) subnet mask and the router address.

    It has grayed out information in the boxes for the DNS servers; Name of domain and DNS IPv6 servers.  At the bottom of the window, there is an IPv6 Internet WAN address listed.

    If I click on the "Internet Options" button at the bottom of the window, it takes me to the 'Internet Options' window. Here, there are various IPv6 information - it seems that I can choose the configuration of IPv6 and the IPv6 mode using the drop down boxes/selections were also chosen.  There is also a checkbox 'Enable IPv6 connection sharing'. Are the current settings for these for Router #1: configure IPv6: automatically; IPv6 mode: Native; and check/yes to enable sharing of IPv6.

    Next up, the 'Network' tab utility AirPort/window.

    Here, there is a drop-down menu "Router Mode", a DHCP range listed, and the ability to add or remove reservations DHCP and Port settings.  The DHCP range listed for Router #1 is 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.200.  There is currently no reserves DHCP or specified Port settings.  Finally, there is a checkbox to the bottom to "Activate the access control" - it is not currently checked/enabled.

    If I click on the 'Network Options' button at the bottom of the window, it takes me to the "Networking Options" window Here I have areas of entry to specify the DHCP lease duration, can specify the DHCP IPv4 range, as well as part of the extended DHCP IPv4 comments.  There are checkboxes: enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol. Select the host by default (with input if selected text box); Enable the IGMP Snooping; Block incoming IPv6 connections; Allow the Teredo Tunnels; and allow inbound IPSec authentication.

    For this window, here is the current settings on the Router #1:

    DHCP lease is 1 day; Beach DHCP IPv6 is 10.1.2 to 200; Hosts IPv4 DHCP Range is 172.16.42.2 to 200.  The following check boxes are enabled/checked: enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol. Block incoming IPv6 connections; And allow inbound IPSec authentication.

    Who can help me? What parameters, if all do I need to change the #1 router?  How to set up router #2 to make a second wireless network?

    Purpose: This is what I need--I need two separate wireless networks.  Before going further, by using the guest account and 5 GHz of a single router isn't an option for me.  I need to have both wireless networks separate (one of each router), do not talk to each other, or allow access between the two - the only is that they share the Comcast internet gateway.

    What you really need is a combination router / Ethernet switches that s supports VLANdedicated. Given that Apple routers do not, at best, you can potentially get the results that you are looking for, but at a performance cost. In other words, you can have two separate WiFi networks where clients connected to a network can not 'see' those related to another and both routers will always provide access to the Internet through Comcast modem. Note: Arris / Motorola SB6141 isn't a gateway device. Instead, it's a simple modem. A gateway is a router modem combination.

    To do this, should do the following:

    • The Time Capsule (TC) would need to be directly connected to the modem using an Ethernet cable. This base station would remain in its default configuration of the router. In other words, the router Mode (in AirPort Utility) would establish: DHCP and NAT.
    • AirPort Extreme would be directly linked to TB by Ethernet. The cable must be connected to one of the LAN ports on the TC on the WAN port to the extreme. It must also be configured as a router. However, there are differences in the extreme:
      • Use a different name to the Wi - Fi network.
      • Use another range of IP DHCP address. By default, Apple base stations use IP addresses in the 10.0.x.x range. I suggest that you set the base station of the second on 192.168.x.x range.

    There is a major drawback with this configuration. The second base station will be in a State of "Double NAT". Although this "separating" the two networks on different subnets, this condition is not very effective and connected to this network of customers will get lower throughput performance. There is no way around it and it is not recommended.

    First of all, the "Internet" tab/window Airport utility. Here are the options:

    Connect using: Router #1 has currently DHCP (which I think is OK?) What should it be set to Router #2?

    The two should be: DHCP.

    This tab lists also the current address in IPv4, the (255.255.254.0) subnet mask and the router address.

    These leave it as what. The TC is information of IP address of the modem. The extreme, he'll get the TC.

    It has grayed out information in the boxes for the DNS servers; Name of domain and DNS IPv6 servers.  At the bottom of the window, there is an IPv6 Internet WAN address listed.

    These leave it as what.

    If I click on the "Internet Options" button at the bottom of the window, it takes me to the 'Internet Options' window. Here, there are various IPv6 information - it seems that I can choose the configuration of IPv6 and the IPv6 mode using the drop down boxes/selections were also chosen.  There is also a checkbox 'Enable IPv6 connection sharing'. Are the current settings for these for Router #1: configure IPv6: automatically; IPv6 mode: Native; and check/yes to enable sharing of IPv6.

    Unless your ISP provides your IPv6 service, change the IPv6 configuration option to: 'Link-local only' on two base stations.

    Here, there is a drop-down menu "Router Mode", a DHCP range listed, and the ability to add or remove reservations DHCP and Port settings.  The DHCP range listed for Router #1 is 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.200.  There is currently no reserves DHCP or specified Port settings.  Finally, there is a checkbox to the bottom to "Activate the access control" - it is not currently checked/enabled.

    Router mode should be: DHCP and NAT to two base stations. Ignore the DHCP reservations and Port settings for now. Let the current DHCP range for the TC. Change the DHCP range for extreme for: 192.168.1.2 a.200. At this point do not access control for each base station.

    Since you seem to need the step by step instructions or need help to understand the different terms networking, I highly recommend that you help you to become familiar with networking, specifically on Apple systems. I suggest you consider taking the e-Book to the next control: take control of your Wi - Fi Applehttps://www.takecontrolbooks.com/apple-wifi network

  • Why can't I use my Airport Extreme routers to extend my Google fiber network?

    I had waited for a long time, and finally got Google fiber installed at my house this afternoon.  I had been so excited and had everything for my home network mapped out.

    I've never used router Wi - Fi an ISP, but I read that so many good things about the fiber of Google box Wi - Fi I had planned to make the core of my Wi - Fi network home.  The plan was to have the Google through my home box.

    I have two base stations Airport Extreme AC I used with my old set up with Time Warner.  My plan was to use to extend my Google Wi - Fi network with a floor and one on the ground floor. Unfortunately, I can not understand how to get there.

    I did a hard reset on two of my Airport Extreme routers and went to set them up as extensions, but I can't do it.  I have open Airport utility, select my device, choose 'Other Options', select 'Add to an existing network' and click Next...  Each time, my only option is to create a new network.

    Does anyone know a way around this?  I would really like to be able to have a base station wireless AC in every room of my house.  I also need the Airport Extreme routers set up somewhere in the chain so I can continue to do my wireless Time Machine backups.  Any tips?  I am currently very frustrated.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Unfortunately, Apple routers will not be able to extend wireless signal of a 3rd party router. Or, another way of saying the same thing, is that routers Apple will extend only wireless signal from another router from Apple.

    If you could install another Apple router near the Google router and connect the Apple router using an Ethernet cable to the router fiber, and configure the router from Apple provides wireless... then... other airports will be able to extend the signal of the "main" Apple router

    You can use the fiber for a second wireless network or comments... or... If you need another network, there is probably a way to disable the wireless router fiber.

    Another option... If possible... would be to run both of your Apple routers Ethernet cables to the router of fiber. Then, Apple routers can be configured to extend the network of fiber like that.  Note that Ethernet cables should be left in place permanently with this option.

  • The most recent airport TC is compatible with all other routers?

    I have a relatively complex setup, in which case I have 2 TP-Link routers & outdoor CPE of TP-Link covering an acre & two buildings.  You want to have the capabilities of backup for my new MacBook.  The discussions I've seen so far are either old or do not seem to solve the problem...  Ideally, I replace the main router with TC and run ethernet to SCE in open air that feeds on 2nd router for the 2nd building.

    Routers are routers, and it is usually not much matter if they are wired... It is only when you use wireless configuration that things get complicated.

    A lot depends on how your existing two routers are connected... both should not be in router mode...

    There is no reason why you can not try to replace the main router with TC... test and see...

    If you experience problems after the exact problems... but first you need to know this modem and high-speed type are you?

  • I have 2 routers.  Both can have time capsule for wifi?

    I have a Netgear C3000 Modem/Router, where my internet comes from the wall.  I also have a router VPN Sonicwall for work.  My sonicwall going through my Time Capsule for wifi.  Recently, I upgraded my internet speed with my ISP to 150.  When the internet is channeled through two routers, the speed is quite slow (about what it was before the upgrade).  When I get wifi directly from my Netgear, the speed is much faster.  Can I have 2 sources on the internet through my Time Capsule?  1 for the work (slower wifi) and 1 for home (faster wifi)?

    Can I have 2 sources on the internet through my Time Capsule?

    Unfortunately, the time Capsule cannot handle this... because it would need to have two WAN ports to be able to handle two Internet connections. Since then she has only one, you will need to decide which source you want to use with time Capsule.

  • HP Photosmart 7525: Unable to print from iPhone 5 since the evolution of routers

    iPhone 5

    Printer HP Photosmart 7525

    We bought a new router and when it was installed, I cannot print from my iPhone 5. My phone is set up on the new WiFi router. I guess the signal to the printer is going through the router. I don't really know.

    I need help to know how to enable printing from my iPhone.

    Hello

    AirPrint is based on Hello (multicast), which should be supported by your router.

    Some routers does not support such an and some may need to change the settings of the multicast router work.

    Please let me know your router brand and model to understant better capabilities.

    So, you can try the HP ePrint app and check if that can allow the addition of the printer by its IP address.

    Click on the plus sign while choosing a printer and type its IP address, which can be found by clicking Setup > network > network display the summary on the front of the printer:

  • iPhone 6 does not connect to some wifi routers

    Hi gurus of the Forum.

    I hope someone can help with this weird wifi problem I have on an iPhone 6. The phone is running iOS 9.2.1 (latest version) and I'm in the United Kingdom. The phone has been connected to my home router, which is a Hub of sky and works well, I hung up for 5 minutes and then went back to it and the wifi connection was gone. I tried to reconnect and he would not find the router. I've tried everything to fix the problem but no luck. Now here's the weird thing in the household, we have another iPhone 6 (iOS 9.2.1), a 5 s iPhone (iOS 9.2.1), 2 x iPads, MacBook Air, and all these have no problem of wireless connection to the router (Sky hub) and connect to the internet.

    In my investigations (using neighbor routers, public routers, etc.), I discovered that the phone does not detect blank sky hubs hubs, hubs of Talk Talk, an iPhone 6 set up as a personal hotspot. Wifi looking for networks but not found. However, the phone WILL find and connect to networks and hubs BT so I know that the phone's wifi works perfectly OK.

    To try to solve the problem, I did the following: -.

    1 reset the phone (hold down Home and Power)

    2 reset the router

    3 reset the 'network settings' on the phone.

    4 erased the phone and set up as a new phone (still will not find the router)

    5 restore an old backup.

    6 disabled 'assistance to wifi '.

    7 disabled "wifi network" under the heading Privacy > sites > System Services.

    8A tried to manually enter the SSID and password of the router on the phone.

    9. manually entered the device and wifi MAC address of the router

    10. banged my head against a brick wall - has not helped and I had a sore :-) head

    So in my opinion, I tried everything what can be done to solve this problem, but nothing helped, so I come to the community to beg for help.

    I read something about iOS 9.2.1 having wifi problems, but I will reiterate, the phone was working fine and then stopped without reason. I have also other phones running 9.2.1 with no problems.

    Please help as my head becomes painful overall hit.

    Thank you very much in anticipation

    Steve

    PS please don't waste your time and your mine responds telling me to do the things that I've done - thanks.

    Hello

    Anyone have any ideas? I am all of them.

  • All my Apple Extreme routers must be 802.11ac to get speeds of ac?

    I think to replace all of our Apple upgrade routers to ac 802.11. I read somewhere that all routers, or even worse of all customers, must be compatible ac or the network will not work at speeds of HQ. Can anyone clear this up for me?

    Any other questions, I should consider to optimize the performance of ac in a home network that has 4 Apple extreme, connected between them to cover a bigger house?  Thank you.

    A network works at the speed of the slower part, then Yes. all routers must be AC so that the network to operate at the speed of AC.

    If you want high performance connect everything with wires.

  • How long is the Apple support its routers for?

    Basically. I'm looking for a new router I would like to know how much time Apple support their routers for, I know bugs and security flaws are found quite often so I would like to know how long it will be before a router would stop receiving updates as I know another router factory there once a router is the end of life--what some firmware updates will be available.

    Thank you.

    In general, Apple will provide support for 5-7 years after a product is discontinued.  But they must not offer updates to the firmware at all once a product is discontinued.

    For example, the 5th generation AirPort Extreme was abandoned in June 2013. No update firmware of the product have been since then.

    With regard to the flaws of security and bugs... it isn't usually the router that is the problem... it's almost always the operating system of the computer.

  • Routers are supported by the Time Machine feature?

    Hello!

    I am looking for a router that supports the feature Time Machine for someone else. Now, I know that the Nighthawk R7000 router doing since I was able to find a tutorial on the Internet. The X 6 as R8000 is apparently too much. Is there a list that shows all routers compatible with Time Machine or do I really get random routers and check their manuals to determine if they support Time Machine? No doubt the right of the latter?

    Thank you very much!

    Benjamin

    Hi @Chosenusername

    Welcome to the community!

    Most of the newer model will support this feature, but it is also best to check their precision manuals.

    Thank you!
