Windows 10: Routers without WiFi

Hi everyone!

I work at a small business and finally getting a fibre-optic connection after many decades of near dial-up speed internet. I love using access-points for WiFi as that's what I use at my house (Ubiquiti ac-pro the best i've ever had) and my cable modem router to manage my network beyond the access-point.

To get to the point; are routers WITHOUT WiFi still a thing? I need a router with a WAN port to do what I plan for my networking (not a regular switch). Plus I want the access-point to throttle my own internet so my employees don't steal too much bandwidth (my fibre connection will be 50 Down and 50 Up) which my access point will do since employees will only use WiFi and not Ethernet.

What's a good router without WiFi? I'm finding load balancing routers which I don't need and having an access-point and a router with built-in WiFi seems like a waste lol

Any help is appreciated! *Biggrin

950XL Wifi / Router Problem

Since I have purchased my 950XL the wifi connection in my router shuts down, I still have wired connection but all devices connected via wifi lose their connection to router. Apparently others have the same issue as well Windows Phones

Any suggestions is highly appreciated.

UPDATE:

• I have had 15 conversations on Twitter with @LumiaHelp & so far they have suggested general instructions. I will report back if they truly provide a solution.
• This is the model of the modem that gets affected DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem | CDA3 | Hitron Americas

UPDATE FEB 6:

• Lumia Help & Microsoft's provided solutions via Twitter (@LumiaHelp) has been useless.
• If anyone has this issue, please kindly complain on Twitter as more voices are needed.
• They are suggesting this is an isolated issue & I keep sending the list of people whom everyday come up with this problem.
• I need help to raise awareness otherwise we won't be noticed.
• My ID on twitter is @LotfiCo if you want to include me in your message.

Update June 6:

• After months of back and forth with Lumia & Microsoft support, the phone works with certain routers and as evidenced by latest replies, it still doesn't work with some select other routers.
• This effort has been useless in a sense that proper attention has not been given to this issue.
• Is having a wifi connection too much too ask on a "smart phone"?
• The support response has been ridiculous at best.

 

I cant access to my wifi router

Wifi router

Hello marcosamerio..
If you are unable to connect access your wifi router then there must be some problem with connection. I think the following step scan help you to connect it properly to wireless router.

Connect your computer to the wireless router. Although you can access the router wirelessly, it is better to use an Ethernet cable to directly connect to your router so that you can securely adjust router settings. Plug the Ethernet cable into the appropriate Ethernet jack on your computer. Plug the other end of the cable into any one of the open Ethernet ports on the back of your wireless router.

2. Open a Web browser. In the URL address field, enter the IP address for your wireless router. This information should be contained in your router’s manual. If you cannot find it, enter “198.168.1.1” as the address. This is usually the default IP address for most routers.


3. Enter the username and password for your router. This should also be supplied in the router’s manual. If you don’t have this information, go to the RouterPasswords website and find the brand and model of your router. This site lists the default login information for most wireless routers.

4. You should now be able to see your wireless router settings. You can configure your network ports, as well as SSID (wireless network name) and passwords.

 

How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

I will assume that these devices belong to you.

step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

Break command list: Break Commands

Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".
