I have an old linksys router, and I actually just got it to work. The problem is that I don't have the software that came with it. Does anyone know where I can d/l software to set up a security password? The linksys site doesn't have it.|||The "software" is actually the firmware on the router. You should be able to connect to the router directly by putting in http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1 into your browser. Then you can use the options to set up a password.|||google the model number.....u'll surely find it on some site..|||You should not need any software. Just connect via an ethernet cable and browse to 192.168.1.1
wdw|||the firmware is on the linksys site

How do I set up my Linksys router/network?
I had to reset my wireless Linksys router yesterday. It's a WRT54GS model. Now, the connection is unsecured - I don't know how to secure it or set the network up as the directions from the box are long gone.
Can anyone help? I can't seem to find out how to do this via google... But then again I don't seem to be the most computer literate person out there! Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks a lot!|||To reset your router, push and hold the reset button in for 30 seconds. Once reset, go to linksys web site and with your model # you can get all the info you need. Go to support.|||I'm assuming you installed the Linksys easylink advisor software? Right click the Linksys icon in your system tray(near clock) and then click Open Linksys easylink advisor. Wait until your network is checked, then click the actions tab.On the right side of the Actions page, click Security. On the next page click Next. I'm pretty sure you'll need to connect your computer directly to the router to continue. Follow the remaining instructions.

How can you disable the firewall options for a Linksys Router?
I recently bought a Linksys Router, and after unchecking the options linked with the firewall, it still seems to block a lot of sites. I am a student, and I have a lot of online classes, so I really need to get this resolved. Does anyone know how to disable the whole firewall? It is a Linksys Wireless G-Router, and I am connected with a wire, if that helps...|||Well, a Linksys Wireless-G Router (I'm guessing a WRT54G?) shouldn't really block any sites with its firewall. All that is enabled on the router is:
Block Anonymous Internet Requests
Filter Multicast
Filter Internet NAT Redirection %26lt;---Off by default
Filter IDENT(Port 113)
So therefore I don't think your firewall is the problem. What is your setup? Is it:
ISP --%26gt; WAN of Router --%26gt; LAN of Router --%26gt; Your Computer
What sites does it block, what does it allow?
Are you on a dynamic or static IP from the ISP?
If you are on dynamic, leave DHCP on. If static, turn off DCHP and put in the static IP. If your have a dynamic IP, you may have to set up DDNS.
Try this:
Go to Start -%26gt; Run --%26gt; type in CMD and press enter
Type in ---%26gt; ipconfig /flushdns
Now try accessing the site. If it works your IP settings are wrong.|||you sure no your business when it comes to linksys routers.....
|||If there's a site I need to get in, I just unplug my connection from it and plug in directly to the modem.|||The firewall in a Linksys router does not block outbound access. There may be site blocking in it or some sort of pop up blocker but the Firewall is not your problem.

Is there anyway to reboot my linksys router from my computer?
I was wandering if there were any ways to reboot my linksys router from my computer, thanks!|||Yes. Open your router IP address in any browser, log in as root and push a reboot button.
Depending on the model, you also may be able to set up SNMP-based management and designate your host as managing - once this is set up, you should be able to use SNMP to reboot your router (among other things).|||There is, if you still have the manuel from the box that came with it. You make an account with the linksy website and you can use a restart function there , I dont know how well it works but i have seen it done before with certain linksy models.|||no just un plug it and plug it back in after 30 seconds

Why do I have no signal from my Linksys WRT110 wireless router?
I moved from my old apartment and I am trying to setup my Linksys router but I am using a Mac now and I don't have the CD. I downloaded the setup wizard and went through the setup but it says it was unable to verify my internet connection. I know that my internet is working because I have hooked up directly to the modem. Can someone help me?|||Connect the Mac to the router by Enthernet cable. Look in the router (http://192.268.1.1 - no "www") to see if it has an IP address, a gateway address and at least one DNS address (in the Status page). If not, the router isn't connected to the internet. (Then call your provider's tech support number.)
If the router is connected to the internet, see if you have Wireless enabled (in the Wireless page).
NEVER install router software in a computer. A router isn't an installed device, so it doesn't need installed software. Setting the router up by hand (which takes about 20 seconds) is faster and it leaves no residue in your computer.

How can i get my linksys router to give me internet signal?
i hooked my att dsl modem to my router and i get signal but not internet. i have linksys-g 2.4.|||The signal you are seeing is just a connection to the router.
You need to reboot your entire network when installing a new device like a router. Unplug the power from your modem and your router. wait 30 seconds. Plug in power to your modem, wait for your DSL light to go solid then plug in power to your router.
If you cannot connect restart your computer. If everything says it is connected click on "file" in your internet explorer and make sure that it does not have a check beside "work offline".
Did you set up a password on your router? It is a good idea to, but with windows Vista you have to make sure to enter the password ype and encryption type correctly. Reply if you still cannot connect and I will edit with additional information.

Can I add more computers to a linksys router?
Hello
My computer is using a cable modem, a linksys wireless g adapter and a Linksys router (wrt54g). My brother wants to use the same connection for his laptop but we can't connect it. He's using a verizon adapter (don't use it) which shows sometimes the connection and the network connection in the taskbar says that another application is being using for wireless connection.
My other brother didn't have any problem with his mac.|||ask ur brother then....he ll solve ur problem...!!!
manish|||The Verizon Adapter has a utility to set it up. If you find and run it you can get it to connect.|||Yes - disable the wireless connection on your brothers laptop and make sure you have a good cable, and good connections on both ends.|||run the application that configures his verizon adapter. mac has nothing to do with it.
