Log into the router and see if it is set to grab DHCP from the ISP, it may need to have a static IP set.

you could download the quick start from linksys.com for that but basically there is no installation necessary with windows, it's a network device that does not need to be installed. simply plug it in.

Do you have QOS on the router to be ON?
Or have you set up Access Restrictions?

the best would be trying to upgrading your router to a new firmware like tomato or dd-wrt which has much better features and your wireless device would start working.

www.dd-wrt.com that is the one i use and its fantastic.

If the power light keeps blinking it means that the router has reached its end point or else you have short circuited the board, or the router is reached up to the maximum whereby it has totally failed. The best would be to replace that router now or try to use a software named tftp to get into the router interface if it is possible then upgrade the firmware/ You can get tftp by searching in google.

Both the voltage and the polarity should be printed on the case of the router. The polarity should be right next to where the power plugs in.

The polarity information will look something like this:
--(-(+))--

If you take the router into a local Radio Shack, the clerk will probably be able to tell you which power supply you need.

verify AT&T if your modem have built in router, if does disable the DHCP server from second router, if you are using wireless, change the channel to 8 instead of 6, maybe you have neighbors using the same channel.

turn it off for about 5 to 10 seconds, turn it back on and should resolve the issue assuming wi fi was set up correctly.

If that does not work then re configure it and try it on a different channel

192.168.1.1 default IP address unless you change it before....to verify the IP on your router ...right click on network icon or adapter icon ...select status...then DETAILS...the Default gateway is your routers IP

my problem is my roueter can not be recognize. no router connected

Normally on a 3-way video switch box, there should be 4 ports.

1 ports connects the monitor
3 ports connect the 3 computers video output

- Changing the LAN IP Address of your Linksys will do to fix the issue.

Physically connect the XBox to one of the LAN connection of the router or be connected wirelessly.

If unable to connect to the Internet open these ports using the router under virtual server or port forwarding:

TCP 80, 3074 and 53

UDP 88, 3074 and 53

Note: Also the IP address of the XBox should be open to the section.

Might I suggest checking out this site, http://www.ps3chat.com/playstation-3-online/1351-routers-ps3.html . I think that the Linksys router is having issues keeping the connection alive on your PS3. You should also consider setting a static IP.

Mantoo,

Try resetting the router by depressing and holding the reset button on the back for about 15 seconds. It might be that options were set and by resetting the router it puts it back to factory default settings.

Also, ensure you have the cable from the computer plugged into the correct port for the router. It should not be in the "uplink" portion of the router as this is intended for another router. To be safe, looking at a picture of your router, you'd want to use the "2" port and ensure the cable from your modem is going into the "WAN" port.

Hi .
First who is your service provider?
Can you connect to the internet if you directly hook your modem to your computer.
1>If so connect your Modem to your router on the colour code slot on the router which says modem
2>Connect a cable from the router to your computer
3>The lan light on the router should be turned on
4>Check wether your lan says connected . To check that click start-> control pannel -> network connections
5>If it says connected try internet explorer settings
6>If it says limited or no connectivity
Click start ->run -> cmd->ipconfig
7>It should say ip address as : 169.254.x.x.
8>If so type ipconfig/release
9>It shoul say ip address: 0.0.0.0
10>Type ipconfig/renew on command promt
12>Disable and enable lan

Let me know if this helped and also if you dont what kind of messages you get .

What were yo doing exactly when windows says router not found?

to access the router open internet explorer and type in

http://192.168.1.1

username admin
pass admin

unless you change the above, use the details that you created.

easier to configure if direclty connected using ethernet cable not through wireless laptop or anything wireless.
type in exactly in address bar 192.168.1.1 nothing else(no http or www.) and hit enter. if this doesnt work try to hold the little button near power plug on router for about 10 seconds to reset it and try once again. If it works when you type in the 192.168.1.1 and hit enter you will be prompted for password. user is always linksys and the password by default is admin. then hit enter. now you should be in configuration pages.

You need to setup the router after doing the upgrade.
