If the printer has wireless capability built in , no cables are necessary. Install the printer driver in the mac as a wireless connection. Connecting a printer to the router is pointless, unless you want to install the printer as a network printer, which would disable wireless.

I presume you power cycled the device. Sometimes just unplug for a bit and then power on will help. What lights are lit or not lit on that DSL modem ?

Are you able to sign-in to your router as admin?

probably not maybe it is time for you to do an audit on what programs you really want and uninstall the rest through programs and features in the control panel next to a defrag on the c drive it all of that doesn't speed things up consider backing everything up to an external hard drive and up grading the hard drive to a solid state hard drive as they are much faster than the disc type

I googled the error code. http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/wfc/en_na/ds/results.jsp?error_code=51330&system=Wii

The it sound as if the problem is your laptop. Are there any other device that you can connect to the internet while disconnecting the laptop? I had a problem once that when I connected one of my computers to the internet, the internet speed would drop to just Kbps. Try using another device, and see if it have the same results.

It sounds like, somehow, an antivirus or firewall app is blocking access to those sites. I'd check there, first. Then, if no help, you may have to simply uninstall and reinstall the modem. If you have your manual, reset the modem and follow the steps to install it as if you just bought it. If the modem has a battery, remove it to completely re-set the unit. http://support.actiontec.com/doc_files/GT701R_QW05.5_User_Manual_3.60.3.0.7.6.pdf

On the second router just plug a port cable in from your main routers port into the wan port and then be sure to change the second routers gateway and IP address to a different number. Say that your main router IP is 198.18.1.1 and for your second router IP you could use 10.10.10.1 or what ever combo you want and then you should be able to use both routers together. Is this what you are trying to do? Linksys routers as well as all routers with DHCP enabled should be able to handle up to 255 separate IP address's for a LAN network. Is the firmware of the Linksys the latest? If not, down load the latest firmware and flash the router to update it. Or, check out third party firmwares like Tomato to flash that tired Linksys and turn it into a real router.

you can fix compatibility problems by right clicking on the printer ( add printer section under control panel) properties tab , then compatibility tab the clicking in the tick box and highlighting the os in use apply then ok That makes the printer compatible to the computer if you got a disc with the printer , use and let the wizard instal the printer

Get a New modem my friend... sorry

If this is a Verizon router/modem that you are trying to connect your own router to in order to use it as the DHCP device with your home network, you will need to contact Verizon technical support and they will perform the bridging operation for you. You cannot do it yourself with many of these devices.

Wireless capable modems are touchy, Put tinfoil over your splice connectors as they leak signals that totally confuse your modem. Never leave any bare wires, I tinfoil the entire modem to prevent the neighbors from hacking me. I don't use wireless, only CAT5 ethernet cable.

The C1000A Router is branded by Centurylink. ActionTec's name for this is V1000H. The user's guide is available here: http://setuprouter.com/router/actiontec/c1000a-centurylink/manual-1081.pdf

suppose to make it easy to setup wifi but verzion disable because of security concerns wps has security risks

If my memory serves me, I didn't install the software for my Actiontec modem/router combo. I call Verizon and told them I refused to install the software and they helped step me through getting rid of this garbage. You should never have to install software to get a modem or router to work as any software the comes with it, is simply used to provide easier configuration.

Since I couldn't find anything about bypassing this software, I would suggest contacting Verizon directly. Their technical support should be able to assist you.

Most Actiontec Modems and Routers DO NOT have a default login. The exceptions are the Actiontec Modems and Routers made and branded for a specific Internet Service Providers (ISP). Some ISP's require a default user name and password. These Modems and Routers have a sticker on the bottom of the device with the default User name and Password printed on them.

Reboot your computer. Check for any pending Windows updates and install as needed. If you still get an error read through the text of the error. It will usually give you a clue on what is causing the issue.
