Router only allows 1 device Internet access?
I have a linksys router. Has worked fine for a while. Just got Internet back. Whatever device connects wirelessly to it first works perfectly fine. The next devices that attempt to connect to it get assigned the generic 192.168.1.1 ip and do not have access to the Internet.
I have no computer, using iPhone and iPad to set this up.
Dchp is on. I've reset it several times and tried. Changed the ip of the router, etc.
I'm sorta technology illiterate, and need some help./
How many devices have you tried connecting to it?
Are you saying when one IOS connects the other can't?
Try leaving the Router open without security and see if both connects…
If works, see which security works with both IOS devices.
I don't think apple products like WEP encryption
First, check your DHCP server settings. The IP pool range should be something like 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200.
No device connecting to the router should get 192.168.1.1, that is the router's IP address. It is impossible unless something else is giving out IP addresses.
Check the wiring, make sure the WAN/Internet port is the one connected to the modem. Someone may have (by mistake), plugged the modem into the LAN port.
Contact with your internet provider and they will increase Wi-Fi access devices free of cost and if you want di it yourself then you will destroy internal connection settings… So don't try this yourself and contact with internet provider
Adrian is correct. Your Router configuration may be set to allow only 1 user.
Try connecting to Router with cable wired to a computer. You should get in the habit of working in the Router settings with a wired connection.It's just safer. Some reseting can lose the Wi-Fi signal and prevent completing without wired connection.
1. Open a Browser.
2. Type 192.168.1.1 into search box.
3.In the "Setup" page under sub-menu "Basic Setup", look down the page to "Maximum Number of Users"
4. If there's a 1 in the box, change it to a higher number based on number of devices you might want to connect.
5. Save Settings and close.
That IP 192.168.1.1 is reserved for the router. If in case only one device is allowed, you need to re.configure the DHCPs IP address pool.
- What's the difference between a cheap router and a good router? Just wanted to know the difference between a cheap router and an expensive router, I know that is a very broad question, I'm just a bit confused on how a router works. Does it increase my Internet speed on multiple devices? I get 50Mb per second, Well at least that's what I pay for. I have a PS3 two iPhones and a tablet, as well as a desktop PC that is wireless. Can anyone recommend an excellent router under $150
- My PC only allows My External Hard Disk and iPhone to be connected? Why the **** nothing else can connect but those two?! I tried my PSP! My Flash memory, and a NEW Flash memory! My PC can't find anything else, as if am not connecting anything anyway… = = Please help me make my PC find every removable disk i connect like before <3!
- My Iphone is not letting me access the internet or internet based apps? I have an Iphone 5. Never had any issues but now it won't connect to the internet or any apps. It does the same thing it does when I have no service (just has that little circle symbol that means it's trying to get through). Orginally, I thought it must be a universal problem but everyone else has service and they are in the same location as me. Also I always use my phone here with no problems. I have tried turning it off and on again but nothing.
- Is there a device that allows stand alone Wi-Fi for just my iphone? I don't have a computer so obviously I don't want to add internet to cable or land line, and I don't know anyone I could share with. I've heard of "portable hotspots" - is this a solution? Or does some part have to be linked with the above?
