• WRT160N Wireless connectivity limited or not

  Hello. I have a WRT160N router set up on a XP computer with DSL service. Have a Realtek to connect to the network local and Marvell Yukon for the wireless, which presents itself as the connection to the local network 5 in network connections. The Realtek works well but the Marvell Yukon shows "limited or no connectivity" and cannot renew the IP address. Tried to manually key in one IP address, but it runs very slowly (584 sent, received 4) and Network Magic also does not detect connections wireless at all.

  Y does it have wireless connection can get a speed much better with the IP address or are there other parameters that need to be adjusted for this? Is it possible to have two connections working or should be just one or the other?

  Hello. Yes, the OS is Win XP Pro. For some reason, the wireless network connection properties has a second tab for wireless network. The second tab there arises as advanced.

  What finally solved it for me has been assigned an ip address that has worked. Both cards work fine at the same time without any conflict so far. Only using one of them at this point, but it is good to know that the other is works when necessary.

  Thanks for your help, if. Really appreciate it.

• 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,

  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.

• Can I improve my wireless connection if I upgrade my hardware?

  I currently have this modem (provided by my internet provider)http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-SURFboard-SB5101U-DOCSIS-Cable/dp/B002M3SHXA/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics...

  

  My router is:http://www.amazon.com/Cisco-Linksys-WRT160N-Wireless-N-Broadband-Router/dp/B000Z3U1P6

  

  My internet service is:

  Download 25 Mbps

  3 Mbit/s upload

  With my current hardware, I surge not what I could use?

  I can watch netflix by wifi on the PS3 or plug in my laptop via a HDMI to my Tv, but it puts in buffer much more when someone else in my apartment is as well the WiFi (phone, ipad... etc).

  I read on the new technology of AC that will hopefully me and another person to broadcast several HD movies and games at the same time.

  I can do better without upgrading my internet service?  How much better?  It is worth to buy new equipment for just a slight increase if that's what I get with new hardware?

  I hope that there is enough information here.

  Thank you

  Yes, it's true that streaming requires a lot of bandwidth. It is normal that your buffs of internet connection when many devices use the internet connection at the same time and especially when your wireless router is only a single band. And even when you're playing with the channels and use WPA2 Personal, the connection would still be affected if many devices using the same connection of single band on the router. I think that it is better for you to get a double router broadband. Dual band means that the router can simultaneously provide the connection 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. For normal internet use, connect you devices to the 2.4 GHz network; and for streaming, you connect to the 5 GHz network. It is important to note that, in order for your wireless devices to connect to the 5 GHz network, that is on these devices wireless adapters should support or work with the network of 5 GHz (802 11A).  New models of Linksys router these days has access to the network of comments, too, which is an additional safety feature because the above devices will have a different IP address and will have no access to your main network.

• WRT160N, lost connection

  Often my WRT160N loses all wired computers and wireless connection in my house (3 wired, wireless 2). Means that I can't connect to the internet and to 192.168.1.1 against any of my computers.

  Last days he began to lose the connection 4 or 5 times a day (earlier than 3 to 4 times a week). My solution is to turn off and turn on again the router. The LAN again. However I Don t want to be permanently by power off / on. What can happen?

  I m using 2 switches wired non-linksys, but the last time it happened (a few minutes ago) only my PC worked and was connected directly to the router (wireless).

  Can you give me a solution to my problem?

  Concerning

  In the meantime I found the problem.  Too many sources in P2P. I reduced this limit and things came to normal.

  What is meant is that this router is not the best for P2P.

  Thanks in any case.

• WRT160N: Wireless works great, Wired is slow

  I replaced my old router from Linksys 8 port with a WRT160N wireless so that my iPhone would have Wi - Fi in the House.  (AT & T network is not great where I live.)

  My iPhone yells now, great connectivity.  But my two desktop computers that are connected directly to the router are creepy.  Pages take forever to load, and often don't load graphics.

  A friend suggested I hang the wireless on the old router and run at the same time, but I want to get the wireless works fine on its own.

  Any suggestions on what I can change to get the router speeds up the performance of the computer cable?

  Here is the solution.  I did the downgrade of firmware and everything is working fine.

• Bluetooth wireless connection

  Hello analyst.1,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  I understand that you can print from your MacBook Pro to your HP using Ethernet and wireless printer, but not via Bluetooth. I know how it is important to ensure that you can connect to your printer via Bluetooth. I'll be more than happy to help you with this.

  Use OS X El Capitan: Add or remove a printerand make sure you have the latest version of the software installed and printer connection instructions, specifically, this section:

  Add a Bluetooth printer

  1. Update your software: choose the Apple menu > App Store, click updates, and then install the listed software updates. Even if no updates appear, this ensures that OS X has the latest information on printing software you can download from Apple. If you don't do this, you see a message that software is not available when you connect your printer.

     If you have a printer AirPrint, you have no need to check the software updates.

  2. Prepare your printer: use the instructions that came with your printer to unpack the printer, install the ink or toner and add paper. Turn on the printer and make sure it is not the display of errors.

  3. Connect your printer: follow the instructions that came with your printer to make sure it is ready to connect through Bluetooth. You must also make sure to activate Bluetooth and set up the printer Bluetooth as a new device.

  After connecting your printer, if you see a message prompting you to download new software, be sure to download and install it. OS X will automatically use AirPrint if your printer supports.

  Have a great day!

• How to configure a printer wireless connected to Time Capsule?

  I just bought a printer HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M577z MFP Flow. It has capabilities of wireless printing. So far, I was able to connect wirelessly to one of my MacBook Pro computers, but only by having the printer create an Ad - hoc network that allows up to 5 devices to connect to the printer. But that of not what I want because every computer should manually disconnect the Wi - Fi network, connect to the Ad hoc network, the print job and then reconnect to the Wi - Fi network whenever a print job is required. It is very difficult and frustrating.

  What I would like is striking is the printer act like a network printer by wireless connection to my Time Capsule. I can't connect the printer to the USB port of time Capsule because they are far away from each other, and I don't want to use cables throughout my place. But I have no idea on how to do it because I can't find this option in the menu of the writer or configuration of the United Nations the HP utility software.

  I hope someone here could help me, please. Thank you!

  I have an Epson printer, so some of my experiences may or may not apply.

  I also have a time Capsule, and my printer and Time Capsule are far apart.

  My current configuration looks exactly what you are looking for: a wireless network provided by Time Capsule than all my Apple devices to a wireless connection, and my printer connects to the same wireless network.

  When I first bought the Epson printer, I needed to connect it to the Capsule of time via a USB port.  This sounds as if it were true for you as well.  So, for this very short period. I moved the printer via the USB port next to the printer, the connected Time Capsule, made the setup and then the printer recognized my standard wireless network.  I've returned to steady state, which I use now, with the printer and the far (actually on different floors) Time Capsule.

• 7520 HP loses the wireless connection. What can I do?

  I've seen lots of talk about HP products, loss of wireless connection.  I have the same problem with my 7520.  Initial Setup is perfect, but he began to lose the connection when it went into standby mode.  Someone at - it a solution?

  THERE IS A FAST SOLUTION!
  On April 18, 2014 (page 11 of this thread), I posted a quick solution. My HP7520 printer has worked on Netgear router WIFI 7550 flawless since then. I suggest you read this post.
  From long experience with HP, I found they have great hardware, but their software has always been dismal. The ultimate "fix" would be for HP address their failure of a software that allows to my difficulty in working.
  A single "tweak" in the router security settings wifi will do. The rest of settings changes other people have suggested are short lived (about an hour in most cases), while they don't be reconnected unless they restart everything. It makes sense because of what is happening.
  The single "twist" parameter should logically point HP programmers to where in the firmware, there is the problem. They listen to? And, really, it doesn't matter on all other settings printer and router. All mine are back to the default settings and it all still works very well.
  Go to a BBQ and stop wasting your time on this issue.

• Very limited wireless connection

  I have a HP Pavilion dv7 - 3153ca with a 64-bit windows system 7 and I'm only able to get a wireless connection when the laptop is very close to the modem. Once the laptop is moved, for example, to another floor of the House, the connection is lost and cannot be re established until I have the back next to the modem. He has no problem with the wired connection. This has happened while he was trying to pass my McAfee security provider, although I don't think this is the problem that my other laptop (a Dell) converted without this problem. The other laptop continues to maintain its connection Wireless throughout the House, so the router and the modem is not the issue. I downloaded and re-installed the adapter without modification. I have scanned the laptop and nothing is reported in the mess. Are there any ideas as to why the wireless connection works only when the laptop remains close to the modem? Thank you.

  It seems I may not have been very clear in my previous post.  I wanted to suggest was to reverse the connection of the antenna.  As mentioned in the thread I linked, the connections might have been reversed from what they should be from the factory.  If this is the case, then connect the antennas in a factory setting would not solve the problem.

  Have you tried to reverse the antennas?  If they are in the deformities, then this would fix it.  If they are in the right position, then the worst you would have (only in the deformities) would drop signal strength.

• Portege 4000 - Installed W2K - wireless connection problem

  I installed W2K the Portege 4000. XP was too heavy a resource for this system.

  After you install the network driver wireless Cisco (3.5.13.0) of your Web site, I am unable to get a wireless connection. In XP this comes automatically with an icon. The network device switch that I also installed did not help.

  I have the following:

  Connection to the local network - ethernet

  2 - wireless LAN connection

  Although LAKE 2 is activated this still does not pick up wireless.

  Any ideas?

• Wireless connection on Portege R100

  I have a couple of portege R100. When you connect to my domain, using the wireless connection, the logon scripts fail to run the first time. If you log out, then log in again, the script will run without problem. Y at - it a fix for this problem?

  Hello

  Unfortunately have no proper explanation, but I guess that WLAN cannot be connected so fast that LAN and it may be the reason why the first logon fails. In my opinion it has nothing to do with the functionality of the device and this is just a feature of network.

  Maybe some WLAN expert can give you a good explanation.

  Good luck!

  Hello @adityarai82,

  Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! The forums are a great place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

  I read your post about the WiFi problem and wanted to help you!  I understand that you have tried the troubleshooting steps a lot already, without success.

  Try to review these steps, offered by community member @Great-Christine-Tree:

  First of all, we have a step by step guide to guide you through the process of diagnosis here:
  Troubleshooting your wireless network and Internet access

  A second option is to try the following steps:
  Powercycle the network:
  1. turn off your laptop.
  2. unplug the power to your router.
  3. disconnect the power to your modem.
  4. wait at least 45 seconds.
  5 reconnect the modem and wait for it to come back online.
  6 plug in the router and wait for it to come back online.
  7. turn on your laptop and test your connection.
  
  Turn off the power to the adapter:
  1. open Device Manager. (Win Key + R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
  2. expand the network adapters.
  3. right click on the Ethernet adapter / wireless, and then click Properties.
  4. click on the power management tab.
  5 remove the check mark next to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
  6. click on OK.
  7 test cycle.
  
  Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
  1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
  2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
  3. in the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without the quotes and press ENTER.
  4 restart your PC and test.
  
  It can also help to reset the winsock catalog:
  1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
  2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
  3. in the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes, and then press ENTER.
  4 restart your PC and test.
  
  Reinstall the NIC drivers:
  1. download the drivers from here , but do not run them again.
  2. go to your Start menu/screen and type Device Manager.
  3. expand network adapters.
  4. right click on the wireless adapter and choose uninstall.
  5 install the drivers downloaded in step 1.
  6. restart your PC and test.
  
  Test an ethernet connection:
  Explicit. Test if the problem persists on a wired connection to the adapter hardware troubleshooting wireless can be directed to the appropriate areas.
  
  Test another connection:
  Many people excluded their home network as a problem if another device working on the same network. Networking is not as simple as that. Each device interacts differently with your router or modem and it is impossible to exclude the settings for this device until the laptop has been tested on another network.
  
  If these steps do not resolve the problem, try this document published by Microsoft for network management issues: wired and wireless network problems. You can change the operating system with the drop-down list in the upper right of the document.
