SOURCE: my linksys wrt54g v8 will not recognize the internet

Try to do a hard reset on the router. Hold down the button on the back of the router for 10 seconds. This will clear all of the settings out of its memory. Then try to connect again. If this doesnt work power down both your router and your cable modem. Let them sit for a minute and then plug in the modem and wait 30 seconds. THen plug in the Wireless router. The issue should resolve itself.

SOURCE: Linksys N router drops signal

Its not dropping you because of the spectrums, it works on line of sight. If you are in a basement and your router is upstairs it has to go thru a floor and the strength is weakened. Go into your router and increase the signal strength. But you have to mod your firmware.

Here is a link to update your firmware.

SOURCE: portforwarding on Linksys WAG200G wireless modem/router

Bind the IP address to that port UDP or TCP (or both..your preference) #5060 in the forwarding section of your router. check the box to enable it. Click APPLY or OK or NEXT...wait for changes.

I play NHL09 online with my PS3. I have Comcast

I think you may find that this will be entirely your isp. do you have a particular broadband cap and have you used it all? have you tried it with any success with any other online multiplayer games? One thing you can try is to hardwire your ps3 to your router and see how you go

Can u help me retrieve my wifi password?

You need to do a factory reset of your wireless router. This should clear the password in it. There is no password for your 5-port switch.

Want to have wireless with my Limksys Sr2016 switch

Go to: www.speedtest.net with a laptop on your network.

Find your speed. now repeat on same laptop plugged directly into the cable madem.

Do the settingsa change much?

If so, your network is at fault. If not, Comcast is lying to you.

Cannot share my cable modem connection

You need to connect a router to the cable modem.  The router then gets an IP address from Comcast and provides a gateway between the computers connected to the router.
The modem expects to communicate with a single Ethernet device, and provides an IP address to the first device that provides a piece of data called a MAC address.  By placing a router in-between, the router gets the IP address that lets you communicate on the Internet.  It provides local IP addresses to the equipment connected to the local Ethernet and "routes" those to the Internet.  You can either hook your two devices into the router if it has enough ports, or hook you switch to the router and hook your PC and PS3 into the switch.

PS3: i can obtain ip adress but fail to connect to internet.

I would suggest that first you stop using the first modem. Then plug your computer into the modem and install using the comcast cd that came with your welcome package. If that doesn't work please tell me.

Ps3

Are you going to connect your PS3 wired to your router or wireless?
1. check first if ps3 is working behind rca modem.
2. then connect a pc directly to your linksys router
3. open configuration page of linksys by typing your gateway on your browser. (usually it is by default 192.168.1.1)
4. go to applications and gaming tab
5. you'll find there port forwarding..key in your number there
> i guess your numbers are like 88 and 3764 (something like that)
6. if your trying to connect your playstation wirelessly, you need to know your wireless security (if your router is secured).
> go to wireless tab and look for wireless security
> get your key
7. go back to playstation and try to view your wireless network
> connect and type in your key

Linksys 5-port Workgroup Hub

Hi Tman,

Here is a link to the Xbox ports. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908874
In the firewall option, direct those ports to the IP of your Xbox. I don't have an xbox, but I would think there is someway to set a static IP on it. That way DHCP won't change your xbox ip when you reboot it. Some routers allow you to assign a specific IP to the xbox, but not sure about yours.
Visit this site, http://portforward.com/routers.htm It may have your router, and will tell you how to setup the ports for your xbox step by step.
