Linksys Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

Hi, this switch is not configurable (L2), and there´s no special reset botton, so the way to reset it is power off and power on.

so you have 192.168.1.77 as the default ip address and 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask. What Ip address does the computer you are trying to ping have is it in the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.76 in the dos prompt and what is its subnet mask ? type in ipconfig what is the equipment between the p.c and the EFG250 what connects it to the network ? A switch are cisco vlans involved or cisco port filtering ?

sounds to me with that type of message that machine has connected to router. but router is not connected to modem/switch depending on what type of internet you have if router has usb ports and you plug a thumb drive into it and pc can see that drive yes my thoughts are correct

If you connect with a cable to your Router and access the control pannel you should see what is the SSID (name of your Wireless network ) of this routeur. If you can not do that , while the router is in function check the available wifi available with your portable laptop or tablet , it should be the strongest signal since you are close by. To make sure it is the right one , shut down the routru and recheck with your laptop to seee witch one has dissapeared from the list available

Have you installed Cisco connect software on the main computer? You will find gust network settings on Cisco connect software. Or you can open the setup page and check the wireless settings. Check this link for guest network settings. i hope this will help you. Cisco Guest network access for Linksys routers

See setup instructions of your router. You should have the instructions in a PDF file in your installation CD.

refresh your wireless connection by turning off the wireless switch of your laptop and then turning back after 30 sec.

You actually may not have set up a password on the router. It comes from the factory with a default. The default username is left blank and the default password is "admin". If that doesn't work, then there is a different password on the unit. You can clear the password by doing a factory reset on the device, but then you will need to use the defaults to go back in a set up the device all over again. The external reset method is to press and hold the RESET button on the bottom or the back of the unit (it may be recessed into a small hole that you will need to use a paperclip on) for a minimum of ten seconds.

The easiest way I can think of is to shrink the DHCP address pool. To do that, at least on the model of Actiontec router I have, click on "Network (Home/Office)" the go to the "IP Address Distribution" section of the screen. "DHCP Server" should already be selected, and under that, you'll find "Start IP addresses" and "End IP addresses." Usually, the start will be 192.168.1.2 and the end will be 192.168.1.254. What I usually do is change the start address to 192.168.1.200. That leaves over 50 addresses for normal wireless connections, and I'll general assign IP addresses from the rest of the range as follows: 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.9: routers, APs, etc. 192.168.1.50 to 192.168.1.59: printers 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.109 for other static devices. (I often find that Blu-Ray players, cable boxes, etc. behave better if they have a static address.) But really, on home network, I doubt you'll have more than 15 devices that need static addresses, so you could set the DHCP start address as low as 192.168.1.16 if you wanted to.

Anyone who connects to your wifi connection can send emails a and such, but only from their own accounts unless they know how to hack into your accounts (doubtful). Hopefully I've answered your question. The wording and saying it instead of whatever device you're referring to is confusing.

Change the position of the WiFi router, because there are things like duct work, metal studs and electrical wiring concealed in the walls that can and will have an effect on WiFi signal strength.

Access your router by entering your IP address into the IP address tool bar at the top of the page. The linksys address is 192.168.1.1.You will be prompted to enter the user name & password. Enter admin for user name and admin for the password. It will probably update firmware automatically and you will now have unrestricted access to the system's utility software including change of password.

Access the settings menu for either the IP address or the MAC address.

Not knowing what kind of tablet you have, I'll give you the general troubleshooting steps: 1) Turn off your tablet. Power it all the way down. 2) Unplug your router. 3) Wait 10 seconds. 4) Plug your router back in. 5) Wait 60 seconds. 6) Turn your tablet back on.

When you plug it in, it will be enabled and wont have any security features. So you need to set up wireless security and passwords if you are using wireless. Note that you can only set it up if you are connected to it with a cable from the computer. It should have an installation CD that makes the process easy.

Unless you set one up, you will need to reset as I previously answered. You might want to try the admin password: leave the user name blank, and enter the password "admin"

First of all, please make sure that the router is properly reset. After connecting it to the computer, you can access the console to change/add the password. If you need help call 1-855-615-2280.

I'm not sure about the 922, but other SPA phones can be reset without an admin password: hit the menu button, press 14 on the keypad, and OK the reset.
