Wireless Linksys will connect to access point but not to internet?

Are you sure the access point actually reaches the internet?\nCould the access point merely be a node for reaching a netowrk or segment of computers?\n\nIf you cannot figure this out, you can email me...\njesselasalle@hotmail.com\nI am a very efficent Network administrator

There should be an icon on the right bottom corner that has a bubble that pops up when it detects wireless internet. Apparently your computer has a built-in wireless card so it should pick up signal. It is probably turned off, you can turn it on by going to the bottom right corner and looking for the icon with the little signal bars (sort of like on ur cellphone). Right click it and see what the status is, you might be getting low connectivity that does not allow you to connect. If it's not on, turn it on (enable). Your internet should work, it might not the first couple of times you open internet explorer (or whatever browser you use), but it will. Try it out at a library, coffee shop, or any place that offers free wi-fi.\nHope this helps

browse to your linksys through your web browser - login...click on the security tab - on the line that says firewall protection - click on disable...but uhh...i wouldn't recommend that you do that...

dude, please be more specific about what you ask, please...\n...and since I don't know what specific model you are using, i would recommend visiting the Linksys support site (listed below)...\nbut if you're too busy, here's some basics:\n#1 - a Linksys router has a default IP-address of 192.168.1.1, open a browser & type this IP-address...this will open the router log-in page, default login name is 'admin' (without the quotes) & initially there is no password (if your router is being configured for the first time)...\n\n#2 - now, configure your internet connection right away, there are several options: PPPoE, Static-IP..(i forgot the other ones)...\n\n(be sure to write the settings & keep it somewhere safe)...\n\nthere are 6 or 7 tabs in the router configuration page(if i remember right)\n\nif you also have the quick user guide that came along with the CD, that's easier to follow...well, the CD also contains some FAQs that you might want to view or read...

By default linksys gateway address are 192.168.1.1, so unless you turned it off, that is the address you need to access your router, if this doesnt work you will need to reset you station, with the reset button located in the back.

i am guessing this isnt your router that you are connecting to. Just because there is a wireless router does not necessarily mean there is internet service.

I have a linksys wireless router G WRT54GS with speed booster  PSP connects fine.

If you just installed your Linksys (assuming you have something like a WRT54G or similar) then open your web broswer and go to 192.168.1.1 and the default login username is admin with password admin.  First things first, CHANGE the default password.  \n\nNow, under Wireless and then Basic Wireless Settings, you might want to change your SSID to something other than the default "linksys".  You can also disable the SSID broadcast, but don't let anyone tell you that's a security measure.  This is a common misconception.  SSID broadcast supression is not meant to be a security feature, it only supresses the SSID in the beacon messages only and doesn't protect you from wireless attacks, turning off SSID broadcast is more to prevent accidental associations.\n\nNext, under Wireless and then Wireless Security, you can select WEP (minimal protection) or WPA PreSharedKey (preferred).  WEP is weak and easily cracked for someone who knows how to do it with the right tools and is within range of your network.  I like to say "WEP keeps your honest neighbors honest" and leave it at that.  Most secure is to use WPA PSK with the AES algorithm, and use a decent length key, a passphrase of some sort up to 63 characters, the longer the better.  Whichever you choose, WEP or WPA, you'll configure this on both your wireless router or access point, as well as the wireless client machines themselves.  If/when you install a Linksys or other PCI card, or maybe a PCMCIA card in a laptop, you will use the client utility to connect to your SSID and provide the WEP or WPA info the same way.  Or perhaps you have a laptop with a built-in 802.11 radio and you will use the Windows wireless network config tool... right click My Network Places and select Properties, then right click your wireless network connection and select Properties, then select the Wireless Network tab and you can configure it from there.\n\nFinally, you can also use wireless MAC address filtering (the next tab to the right of Wireless Security) to lock down the access point so it will only accept frames from the MAC addresses you decide to allow.  On your wireless PC bring up a command prompt (start, Run, "cmd") and give the command "ipconfig /all" and you'll see the MAC address of 12 hexadecimal digits.  You can put this MAC address, such as 00:16:6F:7A:B8:15, into the list, and select the option to "Permit Only" those MAC addresses.\n\nHope this helps, good luck.

Connect the routers "internet" port into the cord coming from the DSL modem. If your DSL provider uses PPPOE authentication you will need to configure your router to work with it. You can edit this in your router's configuration page which can be accessed by going to internet explorer and typing its ip address (192.168.1.1 on linksys routers or 192.168.0.1 on dlink) in the address bar. When you hit enter you will be prompted for a password and username. The default for this is typically username:admin password:admin. There will be a section in the configuration where you can add this. Otherwise i would check your physical connections and reset your DSL modem after you connect the router by unplugging it and plugging it back in.\n\nHope this helps :)

Your question is a bit obscure, but I'll have at it. \n\n=====\nWireless \n\nI'm presuming your laptop does not have WiFi builtin. It can be connected to the Internet through an Ethernet port or a USB port or ... if you have the right equipment. For instance, you can buy a USN WiFi adapter (most look a good bit like a thumb drive) whcih will connect to any access point it can reach. If it's not access protected, this might be enouhg. \n\nOr you can use Ethernet to connect to a WiFi radio, use that to connect to an Access Point and proceed. \n\nin either case, there will be issues about configuring your system for a network connection on USB or Ethernet. Usually, the installation utility for the USB WiFi adapter or the Ethernet adapter, should do this for you, especially if you're using Windows as it's the most popular opeating system by far. If you're using Linux or one of the Mac operating systems, your harware maker might not support Linux. And it's possible the Linux mavens haven't yet gotten around to reverse engineering that particular piece of hardware and making a Linux driver for it. \n\n\nNow let's consider the case of a wireless router. Your laptop connects to it via Ethernet cable. Assume that's a good connection. your next question will be how to connect to a WiFi network within reach. Will it work?\n\n802.11 a/b/g/n all allow several kinds of connections. The client mode can connect to an access point, an access point can connect to several clients (typically 3 or 4, except for odd antenna arrangements), or one client can connect to one other client. \n\nIf your router is set up as an 'access point', it can only connect (except in rare cases) to a client, and can't ask the client to connect. If your router is set to 'client mode', it can ask any reachable access point to allow a connection. Access points broadcast beason signals telling clients who and what they are (unless the beason is defeated in some security modes, in which case the client wanting to connect must know the access point's information). \n\n=====\nDSL\n\nIf your laptop is connected to the router via Ethernet, and the DSL adapter is connected to the router via Ethernet, and both connections are suited to the ports (speed, duplex, crossover/no crossover, ...), you are likely to have success. You will probably have to know the IP addresses of the devices, and properly configure them, but that should be enough. \n\nThe router should have a way to defeat the wireless radio in it, as you may not want others to connect to the Internet via the router. Check the router documentatin for its control interface where this sort of thing should be covered.\n\nIf you want to use the router to provide a wireless connection to the Ethernet connected to the Internet (via  DSL), you should need only to make sure the router is in access point mode, and the radio enabled. If you don't require encryption for connecting clients, anyone who can hear the router's wireless beason breadcast should be able to use the DSL Internet connection.\n\nBut, there is considerable variation in the configuration methods and flexibility between routers from various vendors. You should certainly read the manual(s) and check the vendors' Web sites for additional material.

Make sure to check the router option to connect automatically.\n\nIt is the first element in the WAN setup options screen.\n\nIf that doesn't solve it, make sure both the router and modem are connected to a good regulating power bar.  \n\nThis said, don't expect industrial quality for 50$.

from your cable or DSL modem connect the ethernet cable to the router input.  Install and configure using the CD which came with the router.  During the installation process it checks the connectivity and you are on if its passed.  Couple of tips though.  \n\n1. Change the default SSID\n2. Never broadcast the SSID (make sure the broadcast option is uncheked)\n3. Set up a 64/128 bit WEP key\n\nOnce you done the above then all your wireless adapters can pick up the signal once you set up with the authentication.

no if you are just trying to get on the internet  wirelessly no you just have to have it connected to the dsl modem if your computer has a wireless card in it it will detect the wireless network

Yes and no. If you want to connect to the internet, and do not have a wireless card, and a wireless signal available to it, Yes.\n\nIf you have a wireless card, and a signal is available, then No.
