Question about Computers & Internet

At&t wireless router 2wire 2700hg-b

This may seem strange this router has two computers on the nework one is a laptop. Both computers can access the internet. the problem is that only the laptop can access email accounts like gmail or yahoo. I believe the other computer needs something set to do his, but I dont know what or were to check. it can go to the gmail log in page or any other internet page but cant load the gmail messages page when you enter your log in details. This is also the same for any other mail message pages as i set up a new account in hotmail on the laptop but couldent get to the messages from the other computer. The browser on the desktop is firefox but internet explorer is also installed annd can be used. Firefox is set as the default browser. Has any one any ideas how to fix this so i can access email fom the desktop.

I guess you probably aint set-up a wireless router before, what you need to do is get it connected up so you revieve local area is connected then, load internet explorer you will recieve a message like page not displayed. where you usually type in www.ebay.com for example type in the number thats on the bottom of the router ie it looks somthing like this 192.168.1.1 for example. a menu will then appear, fill in your broadband username details etc and you should be up and going, if you have problems feel free to email me,, All the best John [email protected]

Make sure that all the wireless cards are set in the properties to obtain an ip address automatically, dissable the wired lan adpter connections as this can confuse the router. Restart all the pc's and then right click on the wireless pc icon in your task bar and then click view wireless networks and make sure that you are connected to your network and that the internet is available, known as local & internet in Vista. open up internet explorer, go to tools, internet options and delete browsing history cookies and temp files and then refresh the page as the proxy server will need to refresh.

hmmm...only thing that makes sense here is that your dSL is unhappy...did you check that phone line into the modem? that's what the internet light means when it's out, actually..if its not the line, then it's the modem..

not much else that is off on this.

I have experienced this same pop-up. I have been a Yahoo mail client for the past 14 years and I can tell you with a certain level of confidence that this is something you don't need to worry a about. It's a conflict between the yahoo mail server and the yahoo messenger server.

I was trying to manually the router up as wireless.

Hi,

If you want to connect to the router wirelessly you need to know the SSID or the Name of the Router (Nework Name) and the Network Key or Wep Key. The Default Wep Key is the 10 digit key located on the bottom sticker of the router. It is near the Bar Code. You can also personalize the Network Key by simly accessing the router. I've listed the steps on how to access the router incase the Network Key on the sticker is not working.

Open a Web browser and type http://gateway.2wire.net or http://192.168.1.254; the 2Wire Home page opens.
Click the Home Networking tab at the top of the 2Wire Home page.
Click on Wireless Settings. then click EDIT SETTINGS located on the right panel.
Here you will be able to fine the setting for your wireless connection
You can change the SSID, Wireless Channel, Wireless Security, and Network Key
Connect to your SSID by clicking on START then click on Connect To, Select your SSID then it will ask you for your Network Key. Type the Network Key then hit Connect

Rate me if this helps so i can help others

Laptop doesn't read 2701HG-B 2wire router

make sure that the wireless part of the router is enabled by logging in to the router's page. check if the wireless light is on. try to customize the wireless settings like changing the wireless name (ssid) and the wireless channel to prevent interferences.
make sure that the wireless adapter/card of the laptop is also installed properly.

hope this'll help you and just ask me if you have other concern

ciao!

2wire 2700hg-b wired router wont allow setup of Linksys WAP54G access point

the ip address of the 2wire router might be different from the ip address being used by the wap54g (ip address is 192.168.1.245 by default) that's why it's not being detected.
you need to directly connect the wap54g to a computer and set the computer to use a static ip address (ex. 192.168.1.240) and run the cd that came with the wap54g. you need to set the ip address of the wap54g to the same segment being used by your router to make them see each other

hope this'll help you and just ask me if you have other concern

ciao!

Slow speeds compared to speedtouch 330 usb modem

How do you connect to the 2wire 2700HG? Wireless or ethernet? In any case I suggest to access the mdc (management and diagnostic console) of your 2wire and check the DSL Diagnostics under the Troubleshooting Category. Check the attenuation rate of your 2wire there so you can see if external problems are affecting the 2wire. The 2wire is also a modem\router and eventough it rarely affects the speed of your connection, the 2wire Firewall might also affect the speed of your cx. Another thing to check are the electrical interference on your 2wire. EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) do affect the 2wire router greatly. I mean it LITERALLY. A great Interference can cut your signal strength from full bars to 1 bar even tough your just 10 feet away from the router. You can also check the Broadband Status on the Network at a Glance Page to check if the speed are jumping in and out. And also try to contact your Internet Service Provider or the 2wire direct technical support (1-877-3478680) for further assistance. God Bless!
