No. Print servers are clients; your router is an access point.

If you hold in the reset button for a few seconds, it will return to factory settings.

DLink usually uses a CD to install with. Try running back through with the CD to see if there is something wrong with the current installation (repair).

Otherwise, you may have to enable the card (unusual for removable cards), which you should be able to find in user manual.

Comcast will not support that kind of modem. Comcast is a Cable ISP thus the ADSL modem won't work with them because ADSL modem is for DSL providers. Cable Company uses different protocol than DSL. But Comcast will provide you the cable modem if you subscribe to them.

It seems like you are trying to access a network other than your own, and the fact that you do not know the codes tells me that it is NOT your network. Try changing the name (SSID) of your network to something unique that you can identify. Try going through all with a network you KNOW is yours.

This is a sin of a bad unit already, first thin that you can try here is to reset the router by pressing the reset button of the device for 30 seconds , but after that and still the same light better contact your device manufacturer...

make your pw available to your friends by passing the login usb memory stick from friend to friend... this adds them to your wireless profile.. while allowing you to have a protected WAP (Wireless Access Point)

Let put all not IP Address in Obtain. I put all IP ADDRESS manually. Usually this will cause to your internet connection drop. I encounter your problem before but i use DUAL WAN or 2 Internet Provider.
And i hope it's the same problem to me.
Good luck!

electronics like these usually have a reset button behind them, try it. If not, it could be a problem of age, since staying on 24/7 for years really wears electronics out.

It is important in order to setup port forwarding on your router that your computer has a static IP address assigned. Port forwarding will not work properly without. If you don't know how to do it, look at this guide for different operating systems (or come back here and leave a comment with your operating system details and I walk you through the steps.)

Once that is done, open a web browser and enter the IP address of your router in the address bar. the default IP address should be 192.168.0.1.

1. When you are logged in, click the Setup / Configuration link.
2. Then click the Advanced Setup link in the left panel of the page.
3. Click the Begin Advanced Setup button.
4. Click the Port Forwarding link in the left panel of the page.
5. Enter the values 5198 and 5199 in the IP Port Range fields.
6. Select UDP from the drop-down menu and the static IP address of your computer in the IP Address field.
7. Click Add.
8. When you have entered all ports you want to forward, click Save and Restart in the left panel of the page to save your changes.

If you have any more questions, just come back here and leave a comment - I'm happy to help.

I have seen this before and this has cured it:
Check the DNS settings in the Network panel and enter a manual DNS that matches the base address of the router (192.168.0.1 for this router).
System Preferences > Network > Ethernet > Advanced > DNS. Click the + sign and add 192.168.0.1. Click OK, and click Apply on the next screen.

HI! all your computer is connected except for one, you are connected to to the local network but cant get an internet connection, I dont see any problem with your wireless connection bcoz you are connected to the lan, check the security settings of your browser on your windows vista, go to internet option and security, lower it down to medium security, so that you can access the internet or try using other browser like firefox or google chrome.. check your firewall settings as well on your windows vista..

Well, I could be of some help. Could u provide me the below listed information:

# Connect your computer directly to your Actiontec modem and perform the following tests.

A. Click on Start—Programs—Accessories—Command Prompt.
B. In Command Prompt window, type in 'ipconfig' and hit 'Enter'. Note down the IP Address, Subnet mask & Default Gateway here. Also, mail us the same IP configuration.
C. Type ping 4.2.2.2 and press ‘Enter’. Mail us the text that you see just below this command.
D. Type in ping yahoo.com and press ‘Enter’. Mail us the text that you see just below this command.

Yes, it will reset everything though, you will need to set it up again if you have any non standard settings.
Use a pen tip and hold the little reset button in till it starts blinking. (7 or so seconds)
Then you may need to enter http://192.168.1.1 into your web browser and reenter your ISP username and password.
Sometimes, if it is set in your modem, it will just work.

you will need to setup your port fowarding in the router interface If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_eb7ea98642566cc6
