Netopia 3 Reach Wireless USB Adapter Installation

Hi,


Welcome to Fixya. If you want to obtain the Wep Key or Network Key on your router you need to access the Wireless Settings Page. To access the router page you need a working computer that is connected to the router. To access the router page just open a browser then type 192.168.1.1. Go to the Wireless Settings Page you will see there Network Key or Passphrase. The Network Key serves as a password or security code on your network to make it secure.

Thanks for using Fixya.

You do need to find the IP....

Using a Windows Computer.... Get to a C: Prompt...

"Start", "Run" ...in white space.... enter "cmd"

At the C: prompt..... Type "arp -a" and hit the enter key.

Above command will show all IP's on your network.

Connect directly to your ISP by what ever method. Get Network Magic from Cisco. Download the free evaluation copy and run it. Reintroduce your router and let Network Magic help you solve the trouble. It may be that your firewall is too tight.

I hope this helps you

This is your password for the wireless network. Do you remember setting up one for your wireless network?

You can connect your computer to Internet if you have a Wi-Fi card in the computer. You need to connect the modem ethernet cable to the netopia wireless router and then connect to internet through wireless connection. First task is to configure wireless network connectivity on your netopia router connecting the 1st ethernet port to your pc lan card port, you will need the netopia instruction manual for this. The wireless configuration will be through a browser window(like internet explorer/mozilla firefox). This may take roughly 20 -30 minutes.

There are some things you might try.

The Belkin card will come with third party software you can disable this utility by right clicking on the icon in the Taskbar and choosing "Use Windows Zero Configuration".

Then you will need to go into Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Services >> Wireless Zero Configuration >> Right click and check that the service is starting automatically >> click on Start >> Apply - that should then detect your wireless network and the internet.

the cable modem should be giving the netopia an ip address

go inside the netopia by opening Internet Explorer and type 192.168.1.254

a little window will pop open

the username is admin, the password is the serial number on the bottom of the netopia

once in, click on configure, lan, then wireless at the bottom

make sure the wireless box is checked

name your network (SSID its called) like randy578

then click advanced if you want to enable wireless security encryption, your key to get online securely

click submit underneath it

clike the yellow triangle up at the top right

click save and restart

in like 2-3 minutes, click the wireless connection icon by your clock

connect to randy578 network

you should now be online

spin

.

If you mean to say, your WEP key or password(network key) to allow your computer to go online wirelessly, you need to access the Netopia's setup page via a browser. From there, you can go or click the wireless section/tab which will give your settings for your network like security key or network name.

ok heres the solution.
goto start,control panel,performance and maintainance,administrative tools,services.
Scroll down to bottom to WIRELESS ZERO CONFIG,double click and click start.
now exit and wait a minute and your limited or no connectivity should change to connected,
let me know if this helps,
Patrick.
