Paradyne 6218-12-200 won't connect all computers

The IP address of an item, unless you specifically assign it one, is done automatically by the router when it connects to the network. This address can be different each time the device connects depending upon what other devices are already connected.

You must enable the DHCP setting on wireless router if you've configured the computer's wireless adapter to obtain an IP address automatically. If not you will get the "failed to acquire an IP address" error when you try to connect to wireless network! Also don't forget to configure big enough IP range on router's DHCP setting, because the router won't be able to assign IP to 6 computers if you only configured 5 IP space on router.

Try assigning your laptop a static IP. To do this in Windows:

• Open Windows Start menu.
• Open Control Panel.
• Classic view: Open Network Connections
  Category view: Select Network and Internet Connections, and thenNetwork Connections.
• Double-click on your active LAN or Internet connection.
• Click Properties
• In the General tab, highlight the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item, and clickProperties.

• In the General tab, click Use the following IP address, and enter: - IP address. The static IP address you want to assign to this computer (try 192.168.1.110 to start). - Subnet mask. Subnet mask used by your router (try 255.255.255.0 to start). - Default gateway. IP address of your router's default gateway (try 192.168.1.1 to start).
• In Use the following DNS server addresses, enter all the IP addressses for the DNS servers your router uses (or you can try your router's address, probably 192.168.1.1).
• Click OK.

Connect your router to computer with ethernet cable then you can access it with following default link. http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.15.1 or http://192.168.2.1 If you are not able to access it with above ip then check your computers ip address gateway ip is your router ip try with it. Then it ask for user name and password. Type user as "admin" and password as "admin" or "password" or blank. Then you can see configuration page of router. Then click on WAN settings and configure your router as static ip then enter ip address and dns server of internet service provider. then apply if you want ip from router enable DHCP Then click on wireless settings then turn on wifi set SSID . If you want secure wifi then in wireless security enable WEP enter WEP code it is your password for connect wi fi. Then save settings and restart router. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Check if the router is assigning IP addresses to the Wireless devices. Also se if you hard-wired desktop has been assigned an IP address manually. Else try to assign IP's to wireless devices manually (Depends on your setup)

Please rate if helpful.

Thanks

The 169.254.x.x IP Address is known as an APIPA address:

In your situation, it is indicating that the system is not receiving an IP address assignment from the Router.

Troubleshooting steps:

1. power off, then power on the router and the computer, see if the system gets a valid IP address.
2. Right click the wireless connection, click Repair
3. Reinstall the wireless driver
4. try a different wireless network see if wireless works on another network
   

If desired change the IP address or Gateway will please right click the name (My Network Places), then right click (Local Area Connection), (Properties), have at the bottom to select, high light the name (Internet Protocol (TCP / IP), Lift Click the Properties, to trim after you customize IP add and modify the following required.Good Luck

Hi there, the only reason it doesn't work it's because the wireless key is not correct. It usually shows limited connectivity when the wireless key is not correct. Even just a letter upper or lower case will cause the problem. Since you are connected with the other computer go under the Router settings and double check the wireless key. Check what kind of encryption the router is using, make sure your wireless adapter can support it.

Once everything is attached you have to reboot everything so your router can assign IP addresses.

If your wireless pciG has a static IP address that is not in the proper range e.g. (if the router is 192.168.0.1 and your desktop is 192.168.15.1 then you can not log into the router, the router has to assign IP addresses in its range of 0.2-0.50)

If your IP address is assigned dynamically, then everything has to be re-booted so the router can assign the address in it's range.
