I have had this router for some time - worked fine with Xp64 - now I've upgraded to Vista 64 Home, it will occasionally lock up. By that I mean that I can sometimes still see my local network, but I lose internect connectivity. I seems to be at random. But the impression I get is that it is something on the wireless network that is causing it as it seems to be worse if I connect my works laptop to the internet via a wireless VPN connection.
I also have a WB NAS drive connected (Soon to be ditched due to problems with it corrupting files and being extremely slow to extract data) and a Wii (Wireless). Or can any recommend a ADSL wireless router that works well with Vista? (I have to run the PC and NAS drive with static IP addresses due to the time it takes for the network to connect if I use DHCP)

how to get my Presario 700 Laptop connected to Wireless via my Netgear router. I recently had help from a NETGEAR agent that got me on. I thought I could remember how to get back on, but obviously I am forgetting something.

Have Netgear WGR614 v7 router,and Netgear WG111 wireless adapter. My PC is Vista 32bit, and my wifes's new one is Vista 64bit. Mine is direct and connection fine. My wife's PC connects but the connection is not steady and at times intermittent. I suspect I have purchase wrong hardware. The router was supplied by Time Warner, and their techs set it up. The have been back six times, and do not know what the answer is.

Dell laptop Inspiron 1545, WRT54GS - "Connected With Limited Access" - drove me up the wall. Tried everything. Browsed other forums for hours. What did I do? Just for grins, and for NO particular reason, I switched from WEP to WPA Personal / TKIP in the router and to WPA / TKIP in the laptop and other PC, entered the ten-char key I've always used, and POOF - instant connection.

i am trying to make a wireless connection from my sony vaio laptop, running vista business, to a printer (canon pixma ip4300) connected via usb to the print server of my wireless router (siemens gigaset SE551). i installed the printer as a 'local' printer on a tcp/ip address, as per the router manual - admittedly, the manual instructions were for winxp.
the problem: the printer comes up in vista as 'offline', cannot be changed to online, and won't print. documents appear in the print queue but do not print out - only sometimes when i restart the computer, the printer prints out a page or two of whatever the last failed job was. the same wireless setup with my old sony xp pro laptop works perfectly, and the printer works when connected to the vista laptop directly via usb cable, so the problem must be vista... i've turned off win defender and win firewall to no avail.
should i install the printer as a network printer? i have tried this but windows couldn't see the printer - it could see the router, but not the printer connected to it. but i've never setup a networked printer before so maybe there is something simple i'm missing.

I have a small home network, wired right now. I would like to add a wireless access point for near future laptops. Can I add a second router that is wireless to my wired network with having to load router software on a second computer. Is this even possible. My network consists of my PC, HP M8300f desktop PC as home base/client and cable modem with linksys wired router, BEFSR41 connected to a dell 2400 desktop. I am wanting to add a linksys wireless router WRT54G some where in the living room for and access point. Do I have to load the software on the Dell PC or can I just plug in router to wall socket and connect wirelessly that way.

Some of us don't use just a wireless router, but a combination of wireless and wired routers. In such cases the configuration of the devices can be a little tricky. But this thread it will be explained in depth, each step how to set up a wireless access points for laptops. This tutorial is going to explain how to set-up wireless for people who have setups similar to this model:
Modem -> Wired Router -> Wireless Router

I have the most basic of basic Netgear wireless routers (WGR614), yet I still can't set this dang thing up! I am trying to set up two computers that are literally side by side. I go through the set up, it acknowledges the internet connection, then it asks for the login/password for my connection. I don't have one via my provider ("Qwest) as I simply ran through their install disk and it's ready to roll, no sign in, etc.
I've read quite a bit about this, so I thought maybe it wasn't directed at my providers sign in, and instaed used the general sign in 'admin' and 'password' that work on virtually all Netgear units. No go. I also tried the login of '1234', which is used for older routers (which this is not), but that didn't work either. I am obviously using wires, as there is no need to go wireless. What am I doing wrong? All my wiring is correct.

I have forgotten the Username and Password for the Login ID... and it is not the default (Username: *blank* Password: admin). I have heard you can hold the reset button on the back of the wireless router but will this reset my wireless network? By that i mean... will i be able to connect with my laptop still through that wireless network or will i have to set it up again?

my netgear router dg834g will not portforward, i am new too this so its probably an easy mistake where i am going wrong.
ive tried following the insructions by finding my router on portforward.com and going through those steps, and it didnt seem too work so i started too look for more detailed guides on the internet.
i came across this Internet video Internet - port forwarding on the dg834g and did everything it said once id completed the steps i went too canyouseeme.org too test my port and it was closed.
error: i could not see your service on xx.x.xx.xx on port (43594)
reason: connection timed out that is what canyouseeme.org told me.
id also like too add i think my problem may lie with my laptop not being directly connected too the router, would this change any steps in the Internet video above?

I recently bought an hp laptop with windows vista and the wireless netgear router 614 v8. However the connection is always dropping, and usually won't connect after coming out of sleep, it can't be a problem with the router because there are other computers not vista that have no connection problems. Do i need to change any setting on my comp? restarting the router does nothing

I just moved into a new apartment where there is already wireless internet set up in my office. I don't actually want/need wireless so I'm trying to connect to the wireless router (Linksys WRT110) via ethernet cable, but am getting "local access only". The other two computers that are connected to this router are connected to the internet and thus are NOT having this problem.
-I can not connect directly to the modem because then everyone else loses their internet access.
-firewall is off.
-ping test doesn't work, I can't ping anything since I can't get online AT ALL.
-I know my cable works; if I connect it to the modem, I can get online.
-I know the router works, because everyone else can get online. I tried to get help from Linksys, but they want $30 for one-time help, which, IMO, is BS.

I've my friend who share my connection of 2mb/s. Problem is when he download GBs of stuff my speed comes to an end . Is there anyway I can allocate him limited speed say 20kb/s through my router? My router is Linksys Wireless-G ADSL Home Gateway WAG200G. There is no option for this inside the router settings.

I have a Dell XPS laptop loaded with Vista. Here's my problem. I have a wireless router that transmits a very strong signal. It shows the computer is receiving the signal from the router however it won't let me access the internet and gives me an "error". I've called my service provider (Time Warner) and all is fine from their end. I have a Netgear router and it is working fine. My work computer is also a Dell that is loaded with XP. My work computer and everyone who comes to my house with a wireless computer doesn't have any problems at all connecting to the internet. It almost seems like my XPS is not set up correctly but my XPS will connect with other wireless signals from my neighbor's routers.

I had to use my new HP laptop, connecting Belkin Share 5x; 802.11g to Time Warner Cable, to set up my network. After about 15 minutes or when I come back from 'hibernate', etc., I get "Local Access Only". I've replugged the modem power cord but most times the repair message is to connect a cable to the adapter.... which defeats the purpose of a laptop. Belkin was installed first with and then without using an Ethernet cable; I get local access only message both ways. And perfect Internet when I do plug in the cable. I've spent hours on the phone with Belkin Support; no luck. My XP PC, using Linksys adapter, picks up the connection beautifully. What to do?

I have never run into this before. I have a dsl modem/gateway (actiontec) which i use to connect to the internet. when I connected a Linksys WRT54G v.4 router to my laptop thru RJ45, WITH wifi disabled on the router, I lose connectivity to the internet on the wifi connection.
I'm used to XP with independent connectoids. Looking at the properties on each connection, they appear to be correct. Has anyone run into this on Vista? I thought surely by disco'g the wifi on the Linksys Router it should just be a standard wired connection. both routers are setup for DHCP. Is that what's confusing Vista?

My Packard Bell EasyNote MX37-U-05 (Running Vista Home premium) was working fne on a wireless network through a BT Wireless home hub. It did automatic updates and since then has connection problem reporting "limited Connectivity" what does this mean and how can I cure this problem? It seems to be the same if I connect through the Wireless or direct on the hub Lan connection.

I am one of the many users experiencing problems with wireless connections that work until your laptop goes into powersave mode, then only allow "Limited or No Connectivity" I have 2 wireless routers, a Linksys and ActionTec, supplied by Verizon with FiOS and Linksys has helped me a couple of times to make it work but that is all. Verizon is clueless. As am I since I have 4 XP laptops that all work. Vista is apparently trying to prevent me from hurting myself, and therefore I am unable to fix it.

After upgrading Vista Ultimate to SP1 two days ago, I noticed on the Taskbar that I'm getting a yellow Caution symbol on top of the Network Icon. My internet connection seems to be working correctly. I've tried resetting my Linksys router, removed and reinstalled Norton Internet Security 2008, upgraded my NIC drivers, (I'm using an ASUS P5K Deluxe motherboard with built-in networking.), tried the Network repair options, etc.

I have 2 computers at home both running XP SP2. One plugs directly into my Netgear router and the other is wireless. I recently bought a laptop withe Vista Home Premium. I was able to connect to the network before, but I think I accident;y changed something. It is now showing my network as a public network. It continually says "Identifying. Public Network)" in the Network and Sharing Center. Access is Limited connectivity. Also I am NOT able to access the Customize link in the NaS Center like I was before.

I went home for the Christmas break and I am trying to get my laptop to connect to the network back at my house. I set up a wireless network through the main computer and have found nothing but problems. The main computer is running XP and I am running Vista. Now, the problem is my computer will detect there is a wireless network available but it will not connect. It let me enter in a password to connect but it tells me there isn't enough strength to connect. This makes no sense due to the fact that it will display 90% network strength.

I'm re-posting this because it is only visible online at the MS website, not on NewsReaders so.... (I'll try again)...I just installed a D-Link DIR-625 router, before, we had a Linksys router with no issues whatsoever. (This is in secure WPA mode, there is no problem in "unsecure" mode) My sons PC has Vista installed. He has a D-Link wireless usb adaptor. Before, with the Linksys router, hookup was as would be expected, find the SSID, click, a prompt for passphrase, sweet. Now what happens is this... I right click the network icon in the taskbar and select "Connect to a network" a list of available networks shows.( as usual) I click our SSID and a different message appears than before, instead of getting the usual prompt for a simple passphrase, I get a "Windows needs more credentials to connect to this network", I click it and then a window appears prompting for...
Username
Password
Domain pass
this is not an option suitable for the usual WPA Personal encryption, first off there is no user name, no domain, its just WPA personal, TKIP,passphrase... what can I do? like I said it connects fine if no encryption is used. and it worked fine Lo these last 2 years with a Linksys WRT54G I'm not very familiar with Vista, I'm an XP man myself (I and my wife have XP, router installed on mine)(My wife has windows XP with a Linksys adaptor and it works fine so I know it is a Vista conflict)

I've got a problem with my wireless network, I've got a dlink adsl2+ router 604gt or something (not at home ATM) it was working fine last night not a problem at all, had dinner then went back to the Internet and it wouldn't work page could not be displayed etc, logged into modem all is good it's got internet acces and working fine. So I left it for the night and this morning I tried again and windows can't seem to get an ip address from the router it comes up with the 169.254 etc etc takes agesbto identify the network and then finally displays limited connectivity. Tried manual settings to no avail, tried restarting both computers and still doesn't work, I just don't know what could have changed in the 45min that I was away from it. modem still registers inter access and looks to be I'm full working order just the computers have a coniption when trying to be friends with it.

When I try to connect to my wireless broadband on my laptop, its showing my network with full signal, but when I click connect, it's telling me I can't? I know my wireless is working because I'm on my desktop PC right now which uses the same connection. Anybody know where it's all gone wrong? I only know the basics when it comes to computers so sorry if this is all a bit vague...
