WRT1200AC lights for 4 LAN ports

The WRT1200AC router has 4 ports to connect computer to internet connections wired cables. Each of these 4 ports has a corresponding light on the front of the router.

The behavior of these lights on my router is incompatible.

If I plug a cable between an Apple computer (2 year, Mac mini or 8 year old Mac Office) and one of these ports, the corresponding port light turns on when I turn on this Apple computer and turn off when I turn it off.

However, if I plug a Microsoft computer (either of the 2 XP workstations or a Vista laptop) into one of the 4 ports, the light comes on and stays on even when the computer from Microsoft is off (do not sleep but engine off).  The only way to get the light to turn off and always have the cable plugged into the router is to unplug the power cord into the computer.

Linksys customer service told me the behavior with the apples is expected.  The behavior with computers on Microsoft is a dysfunction of the router and I should replace the router.

I'm not sure this is the right diagnosis.

Anbody running this router by using the wired ports and using Microsoft Windows computers for ports and concluding that the lights on the front of the router as expected function, namely that they turn off when the computer is turned off, and they light up when the computer is turned on?  Or the lights stay all the time, so when the computer is turned on and turned off?  Windows operating system you have?  All XPs and Vistas out there?

Thank you

When you have the MS PCs connected to the router only, unplug the power cord from the wall to leave there electric while the LAN cables are always connected. See you then? Some PC even when it is off, providing still the operation on the network card, thus giving a network connection that the router can detect. Only disconnect the cable PC power of the wall on Let's would you might see the LED on the router go OUT when the NETWORK card has no more power to work, even when the PC is off just with his button / stop. Some computers have active NIC to WOL Wake On LAN functionality.

    Hello

    Looking for a Windows XP driver for this mobo high and low. Saw a post saying RJ45 built in loan but no components behind it? Documentation of suggests its loan?

    Any ideas if there is a compatible model that I can use the lan driver from? In addition, and I guess that's maybe that is not there - can't seem to identify the manufacturer of the network adapter.

    any info - even if its bad would be useful.

    Thank you very much

    Hey Buddy,

    What you mean with no. components are behind him?

    Perhaps some of it was equipped with LAN port, and other models are not. According to the specs on the Toshiba site there is no RJ45 LAN port:

  • Satellite U200 - cannot get the LAN port to work

    Hello

    I hope someone can help. I reloaded a new version of windows on my laptop, I don't have the recovery disk but downloaded all the drivers from this site. However, I can not the LAN port to work. I tried several times to install the driver but no luck. In the Device Manager, it says device cannot start for the Intel 82559 fast Ethernet LAN on motherboard.

    Can someone please offer some advice? I am a person of correct PC then understand the concepts and can get around the windows.
    Thank you

    Satellite U200 what model do you have? The number of other Sat U200-xxx would be very useful to know which LAN chip was equipped with your laptop.

    But generally, you can find all the drivers on the European driver Toshiba page.
    Check the model number and serial (bottom) and choose the correct LAn driver Toshiba page.

    Notes; Win XP should be updated to the last State. I mean that you need SP2 and the additional fixes to ensure that everything would be fine.

    Good luck

  • Satellite 1700-300: No. Lan port in Device Manager

    Hi Forum.

    I am currently repairing a 300-1700-Sat and reinstalling windows ME (Yuk I know but that's the preference of customers), however it does not show that there is any ethernet on the system hardware. There is an ethernet port on the back of the laptop, but it just does not appear in Device Manager.

    My first was, however, that it can be disabled in the Bios, I checked and there is no option for ethernet.

    Any idea people?

    Hello

    I'm not an expert, but you are sure that the laptop has a LAN port to 100%?
    The laptop is an oldie. That's why I didn't find a lot of information in the internet, but I studied a bit and found that the device supports only:
    Parallel port, PS/2 mouse or keyboard, 2 x USB modem RJ11, speaker/headphone, microphone (no internal) port, PCMCIA port and external monitor port of CRT.
    There is nothing of LAN port

  • Equium M50 will not recognize the LAN port - error: disconnected network cable

    I own a Toshiba Equium M50 and have problems with the Marvell Yukon 88E8036 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller.

    I used to connect through a Modem/DSL switch "ADDON" and had no problems. I then replaced the ADDON with an ADSL Modem/Router "NETGEAR" DG834G to win the wireless port, and since that time my machine won't recognise the LAN port. .

    I know that cables are OK I used with other phones and had no problems. I can also plug a PCI card to connect without any problems. It seems to me that if the Marvell Yukon 88E8036 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller has a problem with the netgear Modem/Router.

    Anyone out there with a similar experience and some tips/suggestions?

    PLEASE

    Hello

    For me this doesn't show t as a problem of LAN card but your router is a problem.
    Check Device Manager if the network card is correctly recognized. If there is no yellow exclamation point, so all is ok!
    You can try to remove the network adapter from Device Manager and reboot after new install driver LAN again.

    The question has looked after installing or connecting the new Netgear modem router.
    I would recommend to check first the settings or update the firmware on this router.

  • WRT54GP2 cascade successfully, but VOIP does not work via the LAN port

    Hello

    I searched a lot for a solution to my problem, but have found that it is really above my level of understanding. My apologies if this question has been answered before – if she, I can not find or understand.

    I have an existing wired network that is running on a Netgear WPN824v2. This configuration works perfectly.

    I want to add a Linksys WRT54GP2 to this network to act as a Wi - Fi hotspot and the VOIP connection point. I don't want to replace the Netgear with the Linksys, I want the different VOIP in a physical location access point. I would therefore like to them so cascading: Internet-> modem->-> Linksys Netgear. I do not want to bind the Netgear and Linksys Wireless, but instead, use a cable.

    I actually had this works almost perfectly, using the following parameters:

    NETGEAR IP 192.168.1.1 with wireless off

    Linksys IP 192.168.1.254 with disabled DHCP, active wireless.

    In this way, the Internet works, I can open a session the two routers and wireless of Linksys works very well.

    The problem is that VOIP will not work. I think it is because the connection between the two routers is: port LAN Netgear-> port of Linksys LAN.

    I understand VOIP tries to go through the Linksys WAN port, not the LAN port. If I connect LAN Netgear port-> Linksys WAN port, the phone works indeed but I can no longer connect to the Linksys, wireless router and unable to connect more.

    I would like to VOIP and the wireless work at the same time. Is there a way to get the VOIP by the Linksys LAN port instead of the WAN port? Or is there a way to make wireless and router connection work, if the Linksys is connected to the Netgear via its WAN port?

    Thanks in advance!

    -Jono

    When you wired your VOIP phone directly to the Netgear router you can in fact calls?

    If your Netgear router connect to the Linksys router to the WAN port, it will not work. As you already disable DHCP on your Linksys router and you will not have access to your Linksys router. This type of configuration has some other parameters.

    Connect the Netgear router to router Linksys on the WAN Port, then connect your computer to the router on the LAN Port Linksys. To connect to the Linksys router using default IP: 192.168.1.1 and change the LAN IP of the router Linksys 192.168.2.1 and DHCP must be activate and click on save settings. Once the parameters are now save your network power cycle and all your computers should be able to go online.

  • PowerConnect 5448, how to restrict DHCP BOOTREPLY messages to a specific LAN port?

    In order to counter the effect of the DHCP server that is not allowed on my Ethernet network. I need to restrict DHCP BOOTREPLY messages on a specific LAN port on which the authorized DHCP server resides.

    I tried to read the section "Configuration DHCP Snooping" of the 54xx User Guide, but does not get a clear idea. This description in the user guide seems rough and intuitive for me to understand.

    'Trusted Interface Définition' help? I think I need feature 'port of trust '. I hope only trust ports 5448 can receive DHCP BOOTREPLY packages, while BOOTREPLY arriving in untrusted ports is rejected.

    Daniel finally understand the missing link after an exchange of emails with me.

    I have to add

    Console (config) # ip dhcp snooping vlan 1

    to finally make it work - even if I don't yet use the VLAN.

  • If 2 Airport extreme can stay connected to each other using their LAN ports?

    Hello friends,

    I would like to know if 2 Airport extreme or 1 Airport Extreme and Airport Express can stay connected to each other using LAN ports at the ends? I thought this is the LAN port 1 connected to the WAN port on the 2nd.

    Thank you

    To clarify the issue and the scenario, one of my friend described a typical scenario in which there are 2 AEs. AE1 has an ISP in its port WAN and AE2 has a different ISP in its WAN port. This 2 AE can mutually connected between them by using ports LAN AE1 and AE2 ethernet cable? He said this could be feasible if AE2 remained in bridged mode, without using the ISP attached to its WAN port. I just don't get how this is possible. Friends of the search help.

    Thank you
