I am connecting above wireless router to a computer with windows xp. so i can use lap top wirelessly. i can connect but cannot encrypt it for security. when i tick wireless security wpa/wpa2 it saves ok but when i try to save after putting passphrase in it wont save error message can not connect to internet appears
Instead of WPA encryption use wep ecnryption. It will give you a choice of 1-4 links that you want. If this does not work. Press the reset button and try again.
you could do it that way I guess, but the easiest way that I could think of is by getting on the hardwired computer that is directly connected to the router to get on the internet, once on the internet, in the address bar, type in this: "192.168.1.2". And if it gives you an login page, both the user name and password are both blank, unless changed other wise. The on the left-hand side, go to advance settings, then click on "expert". Once there, go to security, should see a passphrase and generate key, channel numbers. You then type in your passphrase, and should be a generate button, and that is your network key, depending on the coordinate charts.
That's not a lot of info to go on, but let's try: first, you've got to set the router up for the WPA encryption and put the passphrase in there. You have to do that set-up while you're connected by wire to the router otherwise you'd lose the wifi connection half way through the process. Once the router is set up, do the matching thing on your computer, switch on wifi, and disconnect the cable from your computer to the router. Get back if that's what you'd already done and let us know what stages worked and at what point it fails.

We have a 3000 sq ft split level house, so range is critical (could we extend range with antennas, access points)?
Stability and reliability are also critical
We use a comcast cable modem
Must support mixed environment - 2 Macs connecting wirelessly, 2 PCs (1 with a wired connection)
We all want to be able to share a printer (which will connect to router with a wired connection)
Network attached storage, media streaming - I'm not worried about these now, looking for basic connectivity. Though would be great if I could grow into this in the future...

I've had 4 LinkSys routers over the past 4 years. 2 were 4 port wired, the other two were 4 port wired with wireless. In each case they worked for a while, would sometimes drop connections, but then reconnect. Eventually the WAN (uplink) ports fail. The cable-modem works if I connect my lap-top or towers directly to it. Both wired and wireless ports continue to function. Its just the uplinks that fail. No visible indications of a problem. The lights look good on the cable-modem and the router. Nothing makes sense as to why these ports would all fail. The most recent one lasted 33 days. This one I bought replacement service on it and WILL be replacing it. Any ideas on why these are failing?
