Hello, I recently went with a new Internet provider, and they provided me with a Linksys MX5600 router. I have a serious problem in that I cannot access the devices on my network anymore (printer, NAS, other computers). I assume the problem is that, on my old router, the IP addresses of the...

Hi, I'm trying to set up "Wake on WAN" on my local dekstop PC. I've enabled the related settings both in the BIOS and in the ethernet network adapter's advanced settings, and the system works when I send the "magic packets" from a PC inside the network (wake on LAN). However, when I try to send...

I have a Trendnet TEW-723BRM ADSL router/modem. It works well in all respects other than the fact that I can't get the router to forward/open ports. The setup is a little different than other Trendnet routers, but fairly straightforward. Here is a link to the emulator for the port...

I have CenturyLink fiber optics with a Zyxel C1100Z modem/router. I want to set it up as standalone modem and connect that to the ASUS RT-N56U router. I've read that I can go to the Zyxel and turn on Transparent Bridging and turn off Wi-Fi. My question is how do I connect the router to the...

In my office I have a wireless Cisco Linksys EA4500 router, it has 4x wired ports (which are all in-use right now). Now across the house I have setup some HW that requires 4x wired RJ-45 connections (the hardware is not WIFI ready) so I see 2 simple solutions: 1- Buy 2x switches one to...
