Question about WatchGuard Technologies (WG017192)

Used Router... But Thats It

I aquired an Edge X5 through my employer at no charger. But all that I recieved in the transaction was the router itself, and I need to know what else I need to configure the router to my network and ISP. I havent been able to find any information on this. Is their anyway to get this router to work without actally having purchased it, like Watchguard sending me new software for the product. I just need any information on how to configure this new router.

Laptop cannot aquire network address from wireless router

If you connect the computer to the router , it works.
That means the wired connection is OK.
Open the set up page of the router check the wireless settings of the router.
I think your network is secured and you are not typing the correct network key.
just open the router set up and check the wireless settings .
Make sure that the DHCP server on the router is enabled

My zoom adsl x5 modem/router will not let me go wireless

What is the Operating system on the laptop ?
If it is XP then in the bottom right hand corner you will find Wireless network connection ( looks like 1 computer monitor). Use that icon to connect to the wireless network.
If it is windows Vista, then in the bottom right hand corner you will find 2 computer monitor icon. Use that icon to connect to the wireless network.
If it is Windows 98/ME/2000 then use the adapter utility to connect to the wireless network.
For MAC you will see the AIRPORT icon at the top.

Check the wireless settings of the router first . Make sure that yopu have all the wireless settings of the router. If you are not sure about the settings, then open the router set up and check the settings.

Computer can't aquire ip address

try restarting the modem by pressing the reset button with a pen. if that fails you will need to have that modem replaced.

Sounds like there is a problem with the modem itself, where it can assign multiple IP's

check the cables. the cable coming from the modem should be connected to the internet port of the router.
power cycle. turn off all the devices then turn on the modem first. wait for the modem to boot up before turning on the router and the computers.
if you are using a wireless computer, make sure that you are connected to the signal coming from your router. customize (change ssid, wireless channel) your wireless settings if still set to default and try to connect again

hope this'll help you

I have recently aquired a router and a Wireless PCI Card. Although I am automatically on the internet when I boot up my Computer,I keep getting a message on screen that I have limited or no conectivity....

the limited connectivity means that your router is not connected wirelessly probably because you have not entered the correct passkey, or it's still giving your lan RJ45 network cable the ip address and this is why you are still connected to the net.

If you are on a Netgear modem/router as i suppose you are if it's from sky, you should connect the RJ11 phone line cable into the router leading to a broadband filter, then connect the filter to your phone socket.

There should be no wires between your pc and the router, so take out the wire that is connected to the router (RJ45), which you should have used to set the router up coming from your onboard wired network card.

You will now be connected only via wireless connection, right click on the wireless network icon in your taskbar, click show all connections and then click on your SKY****, whatever it is and then you will need to enter the WPA-PSK security passkey which is with your Sky paperwork or on the router itself.

Connecting a second pc to a router

First step is to restart the router, power off then on.
That will restart the DHCP server on the Router.

If the above fails, check below.

Make sure you are getting a IP address from the router.
- Start - Run - cmd - ipconfig
If not check that the DHCP service is running.
- Start - Run - services.msc
If you find that dhcp is working a your have a vaild ip address 192.168.1.2 or 192.168.2.2 something thing like this,
then go to cmd again, and try to PING the default gateway.

Hope this info helps.

Best of Luck.

hello, Anytime windows gets stuck "aquireing the connection" there is usually a security key thats not entered correctly. Do you know if you configured your wireless network for "wpa" or "wep" ? If so, we need to get that setup on your Laptop.
