I have verizon with a westell 2200 and a linksys router wrt54g trying to setup a wireless network between pc (wired) and 2 wireless laptops, all can see the router and each other but cannot access webpages through internet explorer, everything was setup according to instructions any help would be appreciated thanks

1. See the post in this thread that talks about Special issues for Westell and Linksys
2. If that link doesn't solve your problem, be sure to post back with specifically which instructions you've followed


It may be helpful for you to start a new thread, as that will make your issue more visible

kahoots - please go to the first post in this thread and look for the link that says My wireless nework doesn't reach far enough

See if that helps. You might also want to follow the Basic Education links to some of the vendor network configuration wizards, but there may not be much information there, as you are pursuing a solution that pushes the technology

When you post back, it would be best if you create a new thread in this (Computer) forum, as the way this forum tends to operate is that threads like this are primarily used for reference and do not tend to be monitored for posting activity.

So, you'll get the fastest "service" by creating your own thread. (We tend to operate a little bit differently, and a lot politer than other FW forums)

Hope this helps

Is this the first time logging into your router? if it is read your handbook. It tells you the user name and password.

I need more ports for my network so I connected a wired router to my wireless router. So right now my setup is I have my wireless router is connected to the modem, then on one of the ports on the wireless I have it going to the wired router. The internet net seems to work ok for almost all sites but 1. I can not go to Fatwallet.com on the computer that is connected to the wired (2nd) router. Any ideas?

ellory said:You can encounter network issues with two DHCP servers active (i.e. both routers hand out IP addresses)

A better answer is to plug a switch into the wireless router. You can buy a dedicated switch, or you can turn your wired router into a switch by using the management web page to turn off DHCP. If you do this, be sure to stop using the WAN/internet port. All connections should get plugged into the LAN ports

Seemed to work.

Thank you

You've supplied more information than I have been able to extract from either Verizon (who basically said they weren't responsbile for providing information on hardware) and Westell whom I haven't been able to get in contact by either phone or website.

I am an advanced computer user both with hardward and software applications. However I have limited experience in networking. I haven't had any problems in connecting to the internet with the Westell Versalink 327W.

The problem that I am having is a conflict with an IP Address. I'm am currently working from home using "Virtual Office" that was setup by the company where I work. Due to security issues they have decided to setup a SonicWall VPN. Currently the router and SonicWall VPN are using the same IP Address 192.168.1.x. The router takes priority over the VPN and does not allow the computer to recognize the VPN. Your article did an excellent job in describing exactly what I am experiencing. I need to reconfigure my router IP Address to 192.168.2.x so that the conflict will be resolved.

My operating system is Windows XP Professional with SP2. IBM Netvista - Pentium III - 734 MHZ - 256 MB RAM I am using Verizon DSL with a Westell Versalink 327M (which I assume has a built in Linksys router).

Pretty amazing isn't it? Although a lot of the credit for the Verizon /Westell information is due to DragonsLore's contribution. (Which I relied on, and then amplified, when I needed to support someone with Verizon network issues

Glad you were able to find the information you needed - and that's exactly the suggestion I would have made.

By the way, I see you're a new member. I assume you found this via google. Just curious as to what search terms you used and how high in the hit list this came up

Post back and let me know if it worked, or if there are modifications that need to be made in what's here to make it more useful for others

I don't know anything about how to set up a wireless network, please help. I have a ADSL service and a wired modem (it said: ADSL Modem Router), it has no antenna. I am confused, what is a router, a modem/router, a wireless router, a wireless modem/router? Now I want to go wireless, what I should buy and what steps I should take.
Thanks
