This option is available via the web interface under the WAN Settings screen.

Enable the WPA/WPA2 wireless encryption feature on your unit, and don't give anyone else the password.

Hi g_c1,

If you haven't changed the default IP, then your trying the wrong IP #. The default IP for that Router is 192.168.200.254. See if that helps.

Also, you can always go to the Start and Click on Run, and at the line enter cmd. When you get to dos type in ipconfig /all this will give you a list of all IP assigned to that computer. The one that your looking for is called the Gateway. That line has your IP address of the router.

Good Luck

Problem might be due to some electric surge or some electric appliances placed near the router as the problem goes away after a power cycle. Make sure that there is no high voltage current carrying wire placed near the router and place the router on some insulating material. If this also doesnot help, try upgrading the Firmware of the 3 com router and then check.

Make sure the ports for viewing are properly forwarded. If it's not showing the images, verify that your browser have all plug-ins installed. The camera should have static IP address. And yes you can have more than one camera behind the router on a different port.

there's a few possibilities that might cause this problem.
First thing that comes to my mind is your wireless control access to the router's network.
In order to get through things here you need to get into the router's interface (http://192.168.2.1) using your password (default is admin), from their you need to get into wireless (b.t.w - I'm sorry if I'm not accurate here, I'm not in front of the router right now).
After getting into wireless you need to see if there's a control access tab in it (if not it might be in advances settings at the left main menu).

if it point to prevent... the problem is not about access control, otherwise you need to enter your MAC address in the table below, before putting any MAC address I will like you to tell me if it's on prevent or permit option.

Unless, you can try another computer to connect or there is a tiny (and I mean sometimes pinhole) reset button to push, it may have seen its last day. It has happenned to me and I picked up a little 35 dollar Belkin that worked great.

Try to upgrade the firmware of your router.

It is not possible to break the password of WiFii.
Contact with the service provider and get the wireless DSL authentication password .

Save slight model differences between the different OfficeConnect routers, the procedure to do a factory reset is like this (from memory, for exact details you have to find a manual)
- power off the unit and remove all cables
- connect a normal (straight) network cable between the WAN port and either of the four LAN ports
- power on and wait until the status led is beginning to blink slowly, like 30 seconds
- then power off, reconnect everything and power on again

After this procedure you will have to input all settings from the very beginning, the default password is admin if I recollect correctly.

I am pretty sure what you have is an ethernet hub..not a wireless router. It would be used as a distribution site for a shared network. The BNC port is a connection for coaxial cable.

I had the same problem since a bought it last week and I was going crazy. Install this firmware and everything will work fine:

Hello celinegroot,
I made a video for you explaining in simply method
There is the Video on YouTube
Thank you for using FixYa.

The first thing I would check would be in the configuration (point your web browser to 192.168.1.1 when you have a wired connection) panel, under:
Wireless settings > configuration

If the 'Wireless mode' is set to 'SuperG', this may be your problem. The SuperG setting will only work with SuperG enabled wireless adapters. First change this setting to 'Mixed 11b/11g'; if it still doesn't work switch down to '11g' then to '11b'.

Do all your wireless testing with a laptop or PC as close to the router as possible - same room at the very least.

If all other settings are correct (double check them), this is the only thing I can think of that can instantly make a difference.

If you feel the firmware may be faiilty, note that although 3.0.1 is the 'newest' on the 3com website, even in their own knowledge base they refer to newer versions. These newer versions are available at:
http://3crwdr.googlepages.com/

You could try using one of these (at your own risk), if you feel it is the firmware itself that is causing the fault.
