• Application of Router WRT160N problem loading with LELA

  Bought router WRT160N downloaded software. everything works fine with the router. but when I tried to open LELA shortcut on my desktop, I have nothing. LELA will open in the taskbar.

  I had exactly the same problems that you described with technical support. I found this link in a post by Basiltoo on 12/15/2008. It worked for me. Previously, I had the x 86 machine error when loading the software upgrade. I have a 64 bit system. There are still a few problems with some of the options, but most of the time it works.  The link is http://update.linksys.com/autoupdate/

  I also uninstalled LELA however add remove programs and restarted before I installed the new version. On the new version, he has a place where it asks if you have a 64 bit system. If you choose the download you receive will be correct and you should not get the 'x 86' mistake.'

  He seems also to stop correctly in this new version.

  Good luck.

  It worked for me.

• WRT160N problem, Cant update firmware (downgrade) PLEASE HELP!

  At this router running for a few weeks. Its got that * beep * problem connection but just today, it is even worse. Every 30 seconds or so, he will lose to the modem and internet connection for about 2 seconds. So even if I try to update my firmware up to 008 I don't get the chance. The upgrade gets about 50% of fact and then I lose internet and it fails. * beep *? Please please please help

  You must not be connected to the internet while doing an update of the firmware.  Just the computer cable connected to the router and that's it.  Try the upgrade again to 008.

• Restricting access to Internet WRT160N problem

  I use router WRT160n.

  I used the access restriction to restrict internet access for 12-05:30 every day.

  during 12-05:30 every day, when I use my laptop to access the internet by wifi, the site is blocked, and internet access is limited. This works correctly.

  However, when I connect the lan from my laptop to the router and try to access the internet, I can browse the site normally. I can browse google, yahoo and all Web sites. in this case, the access restriction cannot funciton properly.

  My question is:

  Why restricting access can work when I use the lan cable to connect to the router?

  How do I fix this so that the router can block all access to the internet, even when I use the lan cable to connect to the router?

  Thanks for your help!

  If you are using an ethernet cable, your computer uses a different MAC address and a different IP address on your local network. Basically, for the router, it looks like a completely different computer. You need to add the IP address or a MAC address restriction policy.

• Configuration/connection WRT160N problem

  I just bought the WRT160N router. I went through the installation process... connected via wired ethernet port, password and rights admin, ect., but when I try to connect to my new router via my wireless card, its going to "acquiring network address" mode for about 5 minutes and then disconnects. I get no error message, it just stops trying to connect and I get the big red X on my network icon in the taskbar. I've been reading the forums and try to help out myself, but I don't know what I can do. I know my wireless card to work, I am able to connect to my network of neighbors.

  Any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  What operating system you are using on the computer... ?

  What is the model of the wireless adapter, you use the computer... ?

  Open the router setup page and under the Wireless tab, change the channel width to 20 MHz only and up to 11 channel, provide a unique name for the SSID and click on save settings...

  In respect of wireless security, check the security key...

  Under wireless settings advanced... Change the tag to 75 interval, change the Fragmentation threshold to 2304, change the RTS threshold to 2304 and click on save settings...

  Now, on the computer, remove all the favourite network and create the profile on the computer wireless and check...

  Hi canadaboth and welcome to the forums!

  To reset the password of the router, please press the reset button while the router is turned on for 30 seconds then turn if market. To connect to a computer via the cable to one of the router LAN ports and proceed to the configuration. Do not fill in the username and admin for the password.

• WRT54G2 DHCP Client Table empty.

  OK this thing is 4 days and worked fine until today. Wireless can connect to it. My DHCP client table is empty (does not see the same wired connections). I tried the firmware update, reset to factory settings I even unplugged it DST foer. No luck.

  Note: this was bought to replace a month 8 old WRT160N which oddly would not release someone from the DHCP client table and would regularly not people to reconnect because he thought that it was already connected. That the only solution was to go inside and remove them manually.

  I don't know what you guys done different with this generation, but you should have stayed with your old G

  Sorry I never posted back, but here is the solution.

  It worked only for the WRT54G2 and not for the WRT160N problem (Im sure this is a hardware problem).

  In any case apparently AVG default firewall (now) blocks all network discovery when it is enabled in your operating system. How and why it affected the client DHCP table i havnt yet understood.

  Solution: If your AVG version help complete (not free) goto Tools/settings system//(whatever profile your using either Standalone or Small home or office) Firewall service. Now scroll CPP of Windows service and to allow for the change. Viola everything works now. Went and did it on all my computers on the netwrk with full AVG and it works now.

  To reset your router you have to press on and hold the reset button on the back of the router for 30 seconds... Release the reset button... Unplug the router power cable, wait 30 seconds and reconnect the cable power., now, you must make some changes on your router if you configure your router settings...

  On your router configuration page, change the size of AUTOMATIC MTU to manual and change the size of 1500 to 1350 and click on save settings...

  Now click on the tab 'Wireless' and below to change the settings as I mentioned in my previous post. Now, you can try to connect to your wireless network.

• Problems with WRT160N and Xbox 360 - please help

  Hello

  I recently bought a WRT160N router and when I play games online (Halo 3 or Modern Warfare 2) it takes about 10 minutes to find a game then that in the Hall. I didn't put in the door or disconnected from my profile, there's just a lot of time. It says that my NAT type is open. I've isolated the problem is the router because if I plug in an ethernet cable from the 360 to the DSL modem I find games instantly. I examined the port forwarding and open ports on the 360 and specifically for modern warfare 2 and it was actually my NAT type go as strict, ironic. I have spent 5 hours trying to mess with this and can't seem to make it work right. If someone could please help me on the settings or have any other ideas that would be greatly appreciated.

  As your ISP is a provider DSL, most providers DSL has setup their modem in DHCP Mode, so your Modem acts like a router. So, right now, your Setup is NAT behind NAT. So if you try to open the Ports on your Linksys router it does not work as your Modem Hangs only ports.

  So the best way to work is to convert your Modem in Bridge Mode and it will solve all your problems.

• WRT160N V3 games problems! need help!

  OK, here's our problem, I just moved about 6 weeks ago and have since purchased a wrt160n router, my brother and I can lose countless hours playing COD4 on our ps3 (2 on our network both wireless) we often have trouble connecting when playing @ simultaneously. He seems to get along with him immediately online, but when I log in game, I have to wait anywhere between 5 to 20 minutes, because it now says 'download settings', we thought it was a problem of the internet from comcast, but now I hear about port forwarding? I was power cycling think it was a bad internet connection and the strange thing is going online with the ps3 it gets first right line but the other must wait 5 to 20 minutes? someone has an idea? I can't find the help I need or if I can't find an article on this subject, it does not specify if the fix works for more than 1 PS3?

  Our facility:

  Cable modem

  Router WRT160n

  1 computer (wired connection)

  1 laptop (wireless)

  and 2 Playstation 3 (both wireless)

  You have to open the Ports to your PS3 on your router. If this isn't the case, then I think it is perhaps because of this, you have to deal with this problem.

  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...

  This settings are for your 1st PS3.

  On the Configuration tab, change MTU size in 1452 and click on save settings...

  Once you return to the game to the top page, click the Security tab and uncheck block anonymous Internet requests and click on save settings...

  Click on the tab "Games and Applications" and then click the sub-tab "Port Range Forwarding"...

  (1) on the first line in the box, type Application in ABC, in the start box, type 80 and type of box in 80, leave the Protocol as and under type 192.168.1.20 ip address and check the box to enable...

  (2) on the second line in the box, type Application in DEF, in the start box, type in 443 and the type of box in 443, leave the Protocol as and under type 192.168.1.20 ip address and check the box to enable...

  (3) on line 3 in box from Application to the IAD, in the start box, type type in 5223 and type of box in 5223, leave the Protocol as and under type 192.168.1.20 ip address and check the box to enable...

  (4) on the fourth line in Application area type in JKL, in the start box, type in 3478 and 3479 end box type, leave the Protocol as and under type 192.168.1.20 ip address and check the box to enable...

  (5) on the fifth line of type Application in MNO, in the start box, box type in 3658 and type of box in 3658, leave the Protocol as and under type 192.168.1.20 ip address and check the box to enable...

  (6) on the sixth row in the box, type Application in PQR, in the start box, type 10070 to 10080 end box type, leave the Protocol as and under type 192.168.1.20 ip address and check the enable box and click on save settings

  (7) now assign IP on the ip address of your PlayStation:-192.168.1.20, subnet mask:-255.255.255.0 default gateway:-192.168.1.1...

  (8) also assign addresses dns on the primary dns of PlayStation:-4.2.2.2... Secondary dns:-192.168.1.1

  (9) turn off your modem, router and PlayStation... Wait a minute...

  (10) connect the power supply to the modem first, wait another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute, and turn on the PlayStation and test...

  For you 2 PS3, follow this setting.

  When you connect to the router configuration page, click on 'Application and Gaming' and then click on the "DMZ" sub-tab below, click on 'Activate' and in the IP Source address, type the IP address: 192.168.1.50 and clik on save settings.

  Now you need to assign a static IP address on your 2nd PS3. 192.168.1.50 subnet mask IP address:-255.255.255.0 default gateway:-192.168.1.1... Primary dns:-4.2.2.2... Secondary dns:-192.168.1.1...

  Turn off your modem, router and PlayStation... Wait a minute...

  Now try to connect your PS3 to your wireless network and try to play this game and see how his work.

• WRT160N & IE problems

  I've had my WRT160N router installed for over a month now and you have a recurring problem for Internet Explore to connect to the internet.  I was not able to determine a consistent cause; Sometimes a ping query will show internet connectivity, other times not.  Sometimes simply to load another page or you restart the browser will work, sometimes I have to restart the router, that always does the trick.  It is very annoying, anyone have any ideas that would lead me to a solution to this?

  WRT160N v2 router got some / similar problems with v2.0.02 build 011 Firmware, if you have WRT160N v2 router with firmware mentioned above, you should downgrade the firmware to v2.0.02 build 008 Firmware... See this

• Laptop (HP ZV6000) and WRT160N plu connection problems

  I recently got a new HP Touchsmart 600 and set up with a Linksys WRT160Nv2 router. The Touchsmart works fine, no problem, and is so the Dell Latitude D630 I use for work.

  However, for some reason, I can't get on the internet through our other computer, which is an older HP Pavilion ZV6000.

  I implemented the Broadcom Wireless software that came with the computer and it says that it is "connected" to the router wireless... but when I open Internet Explorer, it says 'cannot connect to the Internet'... and immediately goes to work offline.

  I used to have the laptop HP connected to a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router and never had any problems (or, at least, nothing that I couldn't solve).

  Is there some kind of conflict between the WRT160N and the HP Mini PCI Broadcom 802. 11B / G wireless LAN Card?

  You have the static IP address on the HP laptop.

  Do the automatic IP address settings wireless network connection and see if you are able to access the Internet.
