Any computer experts here, router issues

[ttwarrior1]

Can't connect with my linksys router, but i see it is detecting it. currently connecting without the router. Ive done everything i think i need to do but not working,i think i created a second wireless connection also so not sure whats going on

Cannot connect with primary dsn server, windows found a problem that cannot be repaired automatically. I have everything written down if anyone can help , perhaps on here or on messenger

Linksys wanted to charge me 20 bucks just to talk to me, i asked if they would accept SBR pts

Are you sure the ethernet cable is plugged in correctly?

[mathdotcom]

unplug power to router
unplug ethernet from back of router [coming from cable modem]
wait a minute, plug the shit back in

works 95% of time for this problem

if not, unplug everything including cable modem and repeat

Have you updated your router's firmware anytime recently?

You may have to do a hard reset to restore to factory defaults and set up your network again. Without knowing your model I'll just give the generic advice:

"A Hard Reset (also called 30/30/30) makes your router go back to a Factory Default Settings.
It's very simple to do, but doesn't works in all cases.
With your router ON, press the Reset button for 30 seconds. Unplug the power cable from the unit WITHOUT releasing the Reset button and wait 30 more seconds. Then plug in the power again BUT KEEP HOLDING the Reset button for another 30 seconds.
It does not work in all cases, but maybe can help."

If that doesn't work you'll have to find the specific instructions to do a hard reset with your router (search the web). If that fails to work you may have a hardware problem. I would suggest that you install DD-WRT if it still does not work after the hard reset(s)/new network setups. It's a little complicated but there are detailed instructions available on the web.

If you value your time after doing the hard resets I would just plunk down $50 bucks on a new router.

i believe to do a reinstall or reset , ill need a 2nd ethernet cable, looks like instructions say i need to have 2. In fact with my router not even on right now my laptop is still detecting it.

Yes i tried unplugging everything

So it isn't an issue with the modem, it's an issue with the router and computer. Are you using a DSL modem or cable?

[ttwarrior1]

dsl and linksys router

[ttwarrior1]

hard reset failed, i also couldnt press the windows key so i could type in IPCONFIG. When i came back on i kept losing my internet and it would say computer locked and i would have to press my name over and over on the front page

Warrior call one of those local stores that fix computers, Geek Squad or just a friend that knows about networking

did the hard reset, and ipconfig shows this, believe it says my wireless if off, i think

[jjgold]

Is there a button on your laptop to enable wireless??

[ttwarrior1]

yes and it comes on, but still can't connect with router if i take this ethernet cable out of my laptop and back in the router.

earlier before i did the reset it would detect the router at least

[jjgold]

your connecting to the right router??

Whatever you named it

[mrmarket]

Do you have an Ethernet cable running from your modem(cable or dsl) to the WLAN port on the router? You need another Ethernet Cable running from the router to your computer if you need wired internet access (via the LAN port on your router).

[excel]

Long shot but maybe try and re-download the drivers for your wireless card.

[excel]

Googled a couple things it could be windows 7 lack of wireless compatibility.

found this article

[excel]

You might have to download the wireless driver on that page.

[MexicanStallion]

You probably need to update something. If you go to the linksys site you can update firmware or something like that? My thing was under warranty, so I let the guy over the phone do everything. It sounds really similar to my problem I had recently.

[ttwarrior1]

too many posts, have headache, yep i did all that stuff

[ttwarrior1]

need a new wireless profile i think, not sure

[chunnnn2010]

you can try the spring 4G wireless router. it only costs you $40 per month

[ttwarrior1]

wtf, wouldnt do that for 40 sbr a month

[ttwarrior1]

damn some helper fvcked up my computer this morning and i had to call att to reset my modem and get a new id and pw

Still not on my router, i did press reset on that as well. I believe i need to create a new connection and then type in 129. blah blah blah stuff

[ttwarrior1]

everything cool now, had to reset router and modem both and had to call att to get a damn pw
