Netopia Recent Questions, Troubleshooting Help & Support

Your router has several light on the front that indicate what the current status of your connection is. Make sure to check your manual to see what your router is trying to tell you.
As far as the splitter or router issues are concerned: you should use a splitter on an ADSL connection. You won't really need one if you don't have a telephone line, but it's best to use one. Also, don't forget you can also try to hook up your router to a friend's connection and see if you're getting issues with that router on a different line as well.
If you're still clueless after this, don't forget that most ISP's won't charge you if there does happen to be a problem with your telephone line. Make sure you check your ISP's policy regarding that.

You must hold the reset key for 30s to clear back to defaults. The defaults are here;

go to START>(MY) COMPUTER> and right-click on the cd drive-- choose properties and Autoplay options-- or if your just trying to run a cd just double-click the drive or right click and choose open

Take the new router back to where you bought it and get a different router. There is a problem with this router.

hello arthur, you wont need the eircom firmware you just need a firmware update for the netopia 2247nwg-vgx

just copy the driver to the flash drive and you are done or just install straight from the net

In order to get your router back to the original settings, you must push in the reset button (usually on the back of the router) for somewhere between 10 and 30 seconds depending on the router. You may need a pin or something small to push in the button, because it can be recessed. Once you have reset the router, the username and password will be changed to the defaults, admin and password, respectively. One thing you must remember is that resetting the router will change all of the router settings back to the factory settings. This means you will lose all of the changes you made since you got the router. Make sure to write down any things you've changed, so you can change them back after the reset. Also, I recommend updating to the latest firmware after the reset.
If you need more help post back! Thumbs and testimonial are welcome!

Not true. Any wireless b/g adapter will work -- and that's only if you need wireless, i.e., the router has 6 or 7 wired ports, also.
Further, I'm having a problem finding software that'll work with the Netopia device under Ubuntu (that's what I'm doing here :-)

Well if your trying to set nat type for Black Ops Moderate is about the best you can get while in the game, I get open once in a while majority of the time it is moderate. But here is how you get the best possible connection. 1st enter your router usually 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.1.1 What you want to do is get your router information, DNS, Default Gateway, and Route Address.// Now you go into your gaming system and go to internet connection setup. You will want to give your System a static IP usually something along the lines of 192.168.2.160 or 192.168.1.160 notice the possition of the 2 or the 1 depending on your router IP if its a 1 use 1 if its a 2 use a 2.// Enter all the information from the router to the gaming system. Now 1 more step before you go online go into your routers gaming and applications setup go to DMZ and whatever IP you gave your system make sure you put the same in the DMZ of the router. now what you want to do is restart the router so it takes the changes once you save it. Now restart your machine as well once you have it all saved and bring it all back up.. Happy Gaming and hope this helps you out.

Yes they both belong to the same standard... so definitely it works as it is...

They both are G standard and it will work exactly as the same...

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.

Do you mean a wireless adaptor or the router ?
The router will work but the adaptor will not.

If it is the ROUTER then if you wish to give me the specific model i will dig out those steps needed.

Again if it is just a netopia wireless adaptor then that is a NO-GO
