• WRT160N wireless computer

  Just set up my router.  My computer okay.  went to establish a wireless connection, following the directions that I printed.  Open the laptop, Dell Inspiron - was easily connected to the old DSN router.  Found the router and entered the security password two times following the instructions.  Then it tries to connect.  But he never does.  Finally times out.  Watched encriptación, seems very well on both sides.

  Look at the forums, but has not found the next step when the accepted answer fails.

• Encryption advice please WRT160N router/gateway/modem wireless

  I would like clarification on security and encryption please.

  I have a WRT160N router/gateway/modem wireless with WPA security is enabled.  I have a wired office with LELA installed and a wireless laptop.  A key is required when connecting the laptop but on page properties in LELA, it says "wireless encryption - no ' is this extra encryption in addition to the security theWPA. WH n I try to enable it, LELA asks the password admin but after entering that does nothing (except once again ask!)  What I am doing wrong?

  Thank you

  That your network is already reached, but him dosent software LELA display you something on your safety. This means that the LELA was not able to properly synchronize with the router and its wireless settings. So in this case, you do not have to worry about this, if you want you can uninstall and reinstall the LELA software on your computer, that might solve the problem. Or of another Complitely uninstall LELA software from your computer.

• A WRT160N V3 can be used as wireless access point.

  I have an AT & T's broadband router.  A WRT160N is connected, so I now have Wireless N capabilities.  I have a second WRT160N I want to put in my living room as a point of access, so I can connect my BluRay player and video stream.  How can I configure the second WRT160N as access point?

  Thank you in advance,

  Andrew

  Topic 1. Yes, you can use your second WRT and put in place as a second access point to your network. First of all, unplug the second WRT to your network and wire a computer in one of its LAN ports. Open the web interface at http://192.168.1.1/ on the main configuration page, change the address LAN IP of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2 and disable the DHCP server. Save the settings. Unplug the computer and connect the cable to the first router on one of the second router's LAN ports. Do not use the internet port of the second router! Now you can use the wireless access point in the second router as access point additional for your network.

  For a wireless roaming the two Wrds with identical wireless settings (SSID, wireless security, etc.) and don't forget to enable the SSID broadcast. Only the channel assignments should be different. Different channels spaced at least 5 avoids duplication of canals. Now your laptop can connect to your network via either WRT and internet through the first WRT. It must also be able to move between the two Wrds without losing the connection.

  Re 2. Because the WRT160N has only the ethernet 10/100 ports a CAT5e cable should do. Of course, you can consider getting a better cable, for example a cat6 for future enhancements to your network. It depends on how much effort it is necessary to replace the cable later if you decide to go for gigabit ethernet on your local network.

• WRT160N router broadcasts not Internet

  Hello

  I had a Linksys WRT160N router for about 7 years and recently started having a few problems with it. I guess it is old and needs to be replaced, but before I got up to get a new one I wanted to check.

  The connection displays the full bars, but gives the error that there is limited internet access. I am still in the same room with it when using the computer, did sit no more than 5 to 10 feet away. When I plug my computer directly into the modem, then there is no problem, that's why I'm assuming that it is the router. I tried to look for similar problems in the forums, but if I missed the appropriate thread, I'm sorry in advance. Also, I'm not sure what information would be required to solve problems so I'll add some to start basic info:

  Description: Intel (r) brand double wireless AC 3160

  DHCP enabled: Yes

  IPv4 address: 192.168.1.1

  iPv4 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

  IPv4 Default Gateway, DHCP server, WINS Server and DNS server are all: 192.168.1.100

  Thanks in advance,

  Liz

  You have tried all the steps and I would say that the router has served you well. I think that now is the best time to upgrade to the latest model.

• WRT160N v2: the latest firmware update went wrong!

  Hello

  I just bought this new thing, it is not connected to the internet (wrt160n-> cable modem-> internet)

  so I tried the last thing: upgrade to the latest firmware 2.0.02
  The upgrade - trial went fast enough at 98%, but remained there for about 3-5 minutes.

  Then finally: successful update.

  It has rebooted, my computer got an IP address again, but still no internet.
  So I went to the page of configuration of the wrt160n, entered ID + password and then...

  ... a screen almost empty! No menu, page actually kind of corrupt.
  I unplugged the router from the power, waited for 60 seconds, retried: same question.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you!

  Did you try a hard reset, use a pen that I think just next to the power plug to the back of the router there is a reset button with the router connected to the power hold it down until you see the flashing front light put your factory after that

  1. set up your router using the cd that came with it

  2. After setting up is done and you are able to go online try the update again

  that should do the job

• Need help for WRT160N and Vista

  You don't know if there is still a problem, but that's.

  I have Time Warner cable internet and a router WRT160N connected to my desktop on the 2nd floor, all right, download speed is great, near 740 kb/s most of the time.

  I have a laptop running Vista about 75' away and on the 1st floor. The signal strength is very good, most of the time bars 4. Problem is that the download speed is around 20 to 35 kb/s most of the time if I download anything on the computer directly connected or not.

  This is my wifes computer and she had to take the Vista operating system. I still use XP.

  My question is... is there some switch or command I have to on Vista to achieve best download speed. Or should I say forget the wireless and ethernet cable to the laptop.

  Thank you... Bob

• WRT160N V3 DMZ and Port-Forwarding does not work

  Hi all

  I have a V3 WRT160N and DMZ or Portforwarding do not work.

  I tried on locally

  WAN_PC-> WAN - PORT-> WRT160N V3-> LOCAL - PORT-> LOCAL_PC

  The WAN_PC has a static IP 192.168.1.2, subnet 255.255.255.0

  The WAN PORT has a static IP 192.168.1.1, subnet 255.255.255.0

  ON the WRT160N V3, I set up a DMZ on 192.168.0.100.and off the firewall.

  On the LOCAL_PC (192.168.0.100:8888) is an Apache

  So when I type 192.168.1.1:8888 on the WAN_PC I get NOOO the Apache on 192.168.0.100:8888 Web site?

  WHY??????????????

  Please correct me if I'm wrong. My understanding of your installation, it is that you have a computer connected to the internet port of the router and another computer connected to the router's ethernet port? Is this correct? You don't have a modem for internet connection or something like that? If you can post here a diagram that will be better. Thank you.

• With the help of WRT160N with Time Capsule

  Hello!

  I recently put in place the router on my existing network that uses Apple's Time Capsule. I chose the option 'use this with existing router' vs 'replacement of the existing '.

  I have a main tower and laptop. The laptop connects fine to the new network on the WRT160N and find the shared main tower connected to the Time Capsule network. But the Tower cannt see the laptop shared.

  I noticed that the IP address ranges are different bewteen the two networks. The Capsule is 10.0.1.X while the WRT is 192.168.1.X. This has nothing to do with why a computer can not see the other?

  Thank you!

• WRT160N LOSES INTERNET CONNECTIVITY

  I have a wrt160n connected to a Motorola ATT DSL Modem.I only have intermittent internet connectivity. He worked awhile then lose internet connectivity on my XP computer plugged directly on the router, as well as on my laptop vista home wireless. I worked twice with the Linksys support and followed their suggestions of reconfiguration, but the problem persists. The modem ip address is 192.168.1.254. Linksys said to change the default address of the router to 10.10.1.1... I did, but it didn't fix it. Some of the messages on the forum said to change it to 192.168.2.1. I tried and still intermitttent only connectivity. I can bypass the router and go directly to xp destop and it runs rock solid, so the problem is somewhere in the settings of the router. I'm about to renounce it and sell it on ebay and buy an ATT modem/router combo. The Ant is my last resort. Another thing, I downloaded and installed the latest version of the firmware 2.0.02 11.

  I'm under the router with DHCP. I use my own SSID with personal WPA2, AES encryption. Linksys support had me change the standard channel to 2,452 GHZ and disable any filtering of the internet. Now, I use an IP from 192.168.2.1.

  I am courious to see if anyone has had this router to work on a DSL ATT modem. Also, anyone have any suggestions on where I go from here?

  Thank you

  If you have version V2 of this router, you can downgrade the firmware.  See here:

• Connect WRT160N wireless to the BEFSR41 wired

  Hello-

  I use the router BEFSR41 which is connected to my comcast modem and all PC, printer, computers cell phones work perfectly when you use additional ports.

  I want to know if its possible to add a wireless router, WRT160N, across to the top, so I can move and then another room with the laptop.

  I play internet games on my desk and do not want to move to the wireless, but use the laptop to other purposes of internet and sometimes need to use it in another room.

  I have read the posts here and it seems possible, I want to just make sure I get the correct connections. I have also read the messages that State no, do not.

  Are there easy instructions?

  Thanks for any help,

  CAT

  I think that from the beginning that my problem was trying to connect wireless to my desktop PC... and after an hour or so trying to reconfigure the son discovered is not wireless because at the end of the year I had to buy a new network card and wasn't capable wireless.

  I thought that since my office was the main link everything had to go through to the 'House' to work wireless connection.

  So the first time that I have not found a link on the desktop, we wire the PLACE directly to the computer laptop and charge the WRT software on the laptop. The problem, he had us were always wired to the router BE and this is the page of the Linksys who returned to the top. We try to change the LAN IP address and turned off DHCP, but of course when I am connected to the internet on the desktop, it was not to find the router.

  Of course during all this time, I was looking at this site and then went on the Comcast site, it just clicked and after several configurations more lead changes and trying to think about what I wanted to accomplish exactly, and how it "should" work... just went ahead as it was already set up and connected wireless to the BE and he was there.

  I also remember that when you reset the modem and the router... it takes 'time '. As at least 5 min, what seemed like 15 minutes at the same time, I tried all of this. My frustration level has not helped knowing that it "can" be done if I just follow the signs.

  So overall, my error when trying to set up my office as the main connection for the wireless and don't listen to not when my granddaughter told me that she 'had' upcoming wireless on the laptop.

  Thanks for your help and great advice. We have the wireless connected and followed your instructions on securing the router with the network name, encryption WPA2 and AES... and hope never to lose the piece of paper its written on.

• WRT160N + RTP300 + questions with others for access with PSP and teamspeak

  Seen with the RTP300 Vonage phone service, I was able to port forward to allow TeamSpeak work properly. In other words, others may join my server. I installed the WRT160N, with a secure network, to work the long side of the RTP300 last night and now nobody is able to join the server. Get the error is that the server is offline, when it is not. I went through and made the redirection of port, as directed by portforwad.com, nothing helped.

  As I have had this set up prior to the installation of the new router, long set my firewall to allow this program to run/gain access.

  In addition to that, my stepson is now having problems when it tries to connect to the internet with his PSP and I don't know exactly how to go about this peripheral access via the wireless router.

  The IP address of your new router is 192.168.1.1.

  Assuming that your RTP300 router running the IP 192.168.15.1 default, connect the router to the ethernet port RTP300 1 for the WRT160N router to the ethernet port 1 (not the Internet Port)... To connect to a computer to Port 2 of the WRT160N router...

  Press and hold the reset button on your router (WRT160N) for 30 seconds... Release the reset button... Unplug the power cable from your router, wait 30 seconds and reconnect the power cable... Now re - configure your router...

  Access to the web interface of the router WRT160N, open an Internet Explorer browser on your computer (desktop) wired page. In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press ENTER... Let the empty user name & password use admin lowercase...

  On the configuration in Network Configuration tab, change the IP Address of the router to 192.168.15.10, disable the DHCP server and click on save settings... Wait a while and unplug the power cable from your router, wait 30 seconds and reconnect the power cable...

  Your wireless router needs to be configured, and the computers connected to the wireless router should be able to access the Internet...

• WRT160N, auto-negotiation has failed at 100 Mbps, can wall jack be the cause?

  Hello

  Can someone please help me with may be a simple problem for you, but it starts to drive me crazy. Sorry in advance for the long post.

  WRT160N installed in the basement, linking (cable) 3 desktops and 2 laptops (wireless). When connecting by wire, some computers have troubles in autonegotiation speed, always end upward with connection failed. Force the speed of 10 Mbit/s full duplex solves the problem.

  Curiously, both computers have no problem to 100 Mbps Full Duplex auto-negotiation (HP nc8430 laptop with 5 years and the Broadcom NetXTreme Gigbyte old IBM ThinkCentre M50 8189-Tower network chip, I do not know the exact network chip, but I think that until the Gigabit). Less than 1 year of office by using a Committee of Asus P5N7A-VM with the integrated Realtek, also Gigabit network chip, still FAILED to negotiate at 100 Mbps. The wall plate has 4 Sockets. The question above is the same regardless of any plug used.

  After several attempts, I think I've isolated the cause to the wall outlet. There are about 6 metres of cable (~ 20 ft) between the router and the wall outlet. The computers connect to the wall using a cable of 2 meters (~ 7 ft). Go through the wall outlets, I pulled a 10 meter cable (~ 30 ft) connecting the router directly to the computer, then the computer is not always to 100 Mbps now could connect without any problems. So, this seems to indicate that the wall socket has altered the quality of the signal.

  The cables (between the router and the wall) are straight with T568B wiring (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T568A/B#Wiring) the sockets are CAT5 RJ45 Keystone Jack free tool (http://www.amazon.com/CAT5-RJ45-Keystone-Jack-Black/dp/B000BSN7RO)

  So here are my questions:

  Q1. A wall outlet would cause a loss of significant signal or alteration?

  Q2. If the wall outlet is the cause of the loss of signal quality, how is it some computers have no trouble to autonegotiation to 100 Mbps Full Duplex and also when forced to 10 Mbps FD, all network problems disappear?

  Q3. And the most important question: can you please provide a solution?

  Thank you very much in advance for any help.

  Hello

  Follow up and FINAL solution to close this thread. The cause was the wall outlet. All sockets are of the type version tool-less Keystone Cat5e. All the exihit speed negotiation issue and can be used at 10 Mbit/s full duplex.

  I could borrow a punchdown tool and tried a new plug. This time, I tried Keystone Cat6 jack _WITH_ tool. Can be overkilled my cable is Cat5 only. But I don't want to take any risks because the price difference is negligible between Cat5e and Cat6 decision. The new Jack is working perfectly. The AutoDetect computer easily at 100 Mbit/s/s. The fix is so obvious, as soon as I replace threaded plug by a Jack of tool WITH the speed issue disappeared. I have connect / disconnect several times, even restarted the computer to ensure that the new Jack is working OK

  Although I'm not a guru in network cabling. But I'm not computer (using Windows & Linux) and I'm quite a handyman. I can't possibly screw up Assembly of ALL taken without tool, I've had. And the misconfiguration of the network in the operationg system is out of the question. Added to this fact that the new tool WITH jack is much easier to mount and all prectly work on the first attempt. I would say in conclusion that WITHOUT TOOL, CLAMP in Ethernet JACKS are UNSTABLE. At least that's my experience.

  It's pretty frustrating, that Jack is the last place I guess as a cause of a wiring problem. I changed to RJ-45 Sockets, wiring maps network and same router. All this has not solved until one day I discovered by chance that the cause was the wall outlet. (New computer loan with Ubuntu, I forgot to reduce the network speed to 10 Mb and directly connected to the switch without going through the wall socket and discovered that the computer can connect immediately to 100 MB).

  Hope this might help someone else.

• WRT160N V2 physical ports seem to be dead... * beep *.

  I got this router installed in my home network for about a year.  The firmware is updated.  Brief description of the home network:

  Comcast Cable Modem

  WRT160N v2

  2 wireless laptops connected to the router

  HP Business Inkjet wireless connected to the router

  1 iMac hard wired (or wireless) to the router

  1 NAS200 hard wired to the router

  1 Epson printer connected to PSUS4 connected to the router

  Sunday night while he was working on the mac, I got a message that I lost the internet connection. I tried powercycling the modem and the router, no change.  I can't connect to the modem (192.168.1.1) of the Mac when connected to the router hard.  If I turn on the wireless on the mac, or use a laptop computer connected wireless, I can connect to 192.168.1.1.  When I do, none of the wired devices appear in the table of network. The Modem is connected to the router, but not connected (DHCP 0.0.0.0) and there is no internet connectivity. If I connect a computer directly to the modem cable, there is a link and it works fine.

  Any troubleshooting I can do, it seems that the physical ports are dead.

  Explanations, or suggestions would be appreciated.

  Justin

  Time to reset the router and reconfigure.  Press and hold the button of reset for 30 seconds and then release.  Wait 30 seconds and now the router power cycle.  Disconnect the modem for now.   Connect to the router via a computer wired to 192.168.1.1 with empty user name, admin password.  Now, reconfigure the router back to your configuration.
