Five computers networked with Linksys WRT320N router. Operating systems: Win 7.0 on 3 computers (two hardwired)(one laptop - wireless), Snow Leopard 10.8 on 1 (wireless), and XP on one (wireless). Also networked (hardwired to router) is HP laserjet P2015dn printer. The printer was working fine for all computers using Linksys WRT54GS router. Yesterday I installed new WRT320N, but two problems: (1) the printer does not respond to printing command from Win 7.0 computers, however, it does respond to the MacBook Snow Leopard OS for printing command. (2) the XP computer (wireless connection) sees the wireless network, but will not connect. Can you offer instructions how to solve these two problems? Thanks very much.

CISCO/Linksys -To reset the Linksys back to the default settings - Press and hold the pinhole RESET button at the back of the router with the power ON for 20 secs. then release the RESET button.
To connect to your wireless router, the router's wireless settings needs to be configured with the SSID, encryption etc. and also the wireless cards in all the laptops/computers needs to be configured with these router's wireless settings. Then the laptops/desktop computers can communicate with your wireless router.
Connect a LAN cable from the Linksys to the LAN port on your computer.
Open a browser and enter the Linksys configuration URL
http://192.168.1.1
The default login = admin
The default PW = admin
You can protect your router by changing the default admin PW (write it down and put it in a safe place)
Go to the wireless configuration and set up the SSID and WPA or WPA2 encryption.
Now apply these settings to the wireless card in your laptop/computer.

If your 3 notebooks were already configured with router and then you used WPS to connect your blackberry, then it must have changed the wireless settings of the router, due to which the router and the 3 notebooks are not able to communicate now and due to that, the notebooks are showing acquring network address as they are not able to get an IP address of the router.

Solution: You need to open the interface of the router and check the new wireless settings and then put those wireless settings into your 3 notebooks. You may use this link for detailed instructions, or you may also chat with the technician available for chat on that website. Check or Change WirelessPassword

Hi tabua/rob,

When you try to connect to your wireless network, you will be prompted for the password. Please note that this password is to authenticate you to connect to your wireless network. You need to log into the router from a computer which is connected to the router with an ethernet cable to find this password from the router's web interface.

1. From the hardwired computer (If you don't have one, you may have to connect your computer to the WRT320N with an ethernet cable on one of the 4 ethernet ports).
2. The default ip address of linksys routers is 192.168.1.1. You could access the router's setup page by typing http://192.168.1.1 in your web browser.
3. Please leave username blank. Enter "admin" in the password field (But without quotes)
4. You should be logged into the router's setup page.
5. Click on the "Wireless" tab. You may find "Wireless Security" just below it. Click on it.
6. You should be able to find your wireless password here. If you are using WPA security, then you need to note down the "Pre-shared key" value from this page. If you are using WEP security, then you have to note down "Key 1" value. This will be your password for your wireless network.
7. Then try to connect to your wireless network from your wireless computer. Enter the password, which you have noted in step 6, when prompted. WRT320N should recognize you and allow you to connect wirelessly, provided the password is correct.

I hope this helps you. Kindly rate my solution, if it does.

Thanks

Need to install the USB again.

Hi,
Linksys router is a standalone hardware and is not dependent on operating system and it will work with machine running win 7 provided that the network hardware present in your machine is properly installed with driver in windows 7.

I hope this is helpful to you
thanks

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

WRT160N router has issues with the firmware.
Firmware is the software of the router. First upgrade the firmware of the router. Download the firmware of the router from www.linksys.com/download . Open the set up page of the router and upgrade the firmware.
Check if that solves your problem.
If you still face the same problem then reset the router and reconfigure the router.
