Maybe take a record of your configuration settings for your router, then do a factory reset and re establish again from ‘new’. If that doesn’t work, I don’t know what next might work.

If it does prove to be the case that too many login attempts have been made by your IP, the next question is how to resolve it. Being a subscriber to the outstanding web hosting provided by our very own Hosting Services WA and the irrepressible Daniel Kerr, I am able to go to my website and it asks me if I wish to unblock my IP.

Hi Folks I am setting up a new wordpress blog. The Blog won’t load - "can't find the server". It DOES load when I use my phone. Does this suggest I need to “clear caches” I’ve done that on my laptop browser, but the problem persists. Please - how do I clear the cache on my iinet Router?

Re: Netgear D62 00 Router
I am by no means a networking expert but here are a few comments/thoughts: I’m presuming that your question arises because you recently connected to the NBN and got a new NBN compatible modem/router? The Netgear modem/routers could still be used as routers for either ethernet or wifi networks, it’s just that your new NBN compatible modem/router probably already meets all your needs in this regard. However, if you were needing to extend you network in general - or had a number of devices physically some distance from your new modem/router that might benefit from a more local router you could certainly intergrate the old netgear into your system. The configuration of such a setup would depend on how/why you wanted to do that. The reality for most, though, is that the new modem router will meet all their needs and there would be no need/advantage in complicating their set-up with a second router.

Re: Printer to NBN router
Hi Jennifer, You asked this question back on the 14th and Ronni suggested this site: https://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/Modems-Hardware/Canon-printer-not-wirelessly-connecting-to-new-TELSTRA-router/td-p/541786 which shows quite a few people having similar problems and a couple of solutions that worked for some: Solution 1) I just got connected today with nbn and having same issue connecting to the printer. Then i worked out what i was doing wrong,. Try the following if you havent yet. Go to wlan setting on printerlook for where it says to connect access point. You then have to hold the "Pair" Button on front of the modem while you sel ok on the printer. Hold the "Pair Button to printer says all is connected. Hope this helps. Solution 2) had the same problem with my canon printer. Here's what I did. On the printer I scrolled through and clicked on WLAN then wireless Lan setup ok then red stop button for other setup option then other setup ok then Advanced set up ok I was then able to select my Telstra access point ok then the security settings there was only one setting in white letters so I scrolled down to that ok then I put in the password that was on my new gateway and then ok and then the problem was solved. I can print and scan to my heart's content. sorry this is not very technical but if you follow the steps it will work and you don't have to reinstall your rpinter.

Re: Router dropping out
Hi Jennifer, Without knowing any details how you have setup the Dual-Band network or your ISP. Are you using PPPoE or PPPoA? What MTU setting do you have set? The normal MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit) value for most non-PPPoA is 1500 bytes, or 1492 Bytes for PPPoE connections. For some ISPs you may need to reduce the MTU. I have found sometimes the most stable connection for PPPoE is around MTU 1400 on Netgear Routers You could try: Log into the Router using a web browser Then Go to Advanced setup, and go to WAN setup, and set the MTU at 1400 Power cycle all Then test if you can keep the connection. If you can keep a solid connection at 1400 you can experiment with increasing to 1492 Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 > On 31 Mar 2017, at 5:18 pm, Jennifer Lefroy <lefroy.jenni...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Good afternoon, > I have been having problems with my internet connection dropping out since > moving house - only a few hundred metres - two months ago.

Router dropping out
Good afternoon, I have been having problems with my internet connection dropping out since moving house - only a few hundred metres - two months ago. Telstra eventually improved matters by locating a resistance, but I am in an old area with old copper wiring and I am quite a distance from the exchange which Telstra says makes for difficulties. A few days ago, I could not connect with my router at all and so bought a new one: Netgear Nighthawk VDSL/ADSL as I have been notified of NBN installation between April and August. I managed to set it up and my iPad and iPhone connected but not my Mac desktop. I asked my provider for help, but the technician only succeeded in losing the connections with the iPad and iPhone. In frustration, I turned everything else and overnight the magic happened and everything including my desktop was connected this morning. However, later in the day, I lost connection and trying to reconnect, the password was not accepted. I turned everything off for a few hours and I am now back online. I believe my provider had problems at their end for a short time only. Does any one have any advice or possible explanation or do I just thole the dropping in and out till NBN arrives?

Re: Security message from router meaning?
Hi Ray, I am not an expert in this field, but letters DOS usually stand for denial of service attack. China Unicom is the second or third largest service provider in China, so one of their millions of subscribers appears to have launched a DOS attack on your IP address, the large numbers, 8 thousand etc, may be the number of packets received from that address. Another line appears to suggest they did a port scan of your computer, which is to say they looked sequentially at all the socket addresses (80 for instance is the port number for web servers) to see if any were not secured. They can use that information to gain access to your computer should a port be open. You might want to pass the information on to your ISP, but I doubt they can or will do anything about it. Your best defense is to keep on using a NAT router and to run Apple's firewall. Your ISP will give you some level of protection as well.

Another line appears to suggest they did a port scan of your computer, which is to say they looked sequentially at all the socket addresses (80 for instance is the port number for web servers) to see if any were not secured. They can use that information to gain access to your computer should a port be open. You might want to pass the information on to your ISP, but I doubt they can or will do anything about it.

Re: Airport Express or Belkin Modem Router ?
Hi Paul, A USB drive connected to a recent dual-band Airport Extreme may work as a destination for Time Machine backups, but it’s not recommended. This works well for some, not so well for others, and not at all for still others. Even when it appears to be working well for days, weeks, or even months, suddenly the backups may become corrupted. Sometimes Disk Utility can repair them, sometimes the 3rd-party app Disk Warrior can, but other times they're useless. Then you must erase them and start over! And it's not supported by Apple. See: Mac OS X 10.6 Help: Disks that can be used with Time Machine and: Time Machine doesn't back up to AirPort Extreme AirPort Disks. If there's trouble with this setup, you won't get much, if any, help from Apple. You can use another backup program to backup to a USB Hard Drive attached to an Airport Extreme. http://www.switchingtomac.com/tutorials/how-to-attach-an-external-usb-hard-drive-to-your-airport-extreme/ Cheers, Ronni 17 MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-Core i7 “Thunderbolt 2.3GHz / 8GB / 750GB @ 7200rpm HD OS X 10.6.7 Snow Leopard Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) On 13/05/2011, at 4:46 PM, Severin Crisp wrote: Paul, I can not recall the full reason when I tried this, it was quite a while ago.

Hi David, I’m not sure I understand what you are wanting to do. Since Time Machine cannot back up your Time Capsule's internal hard drive, or a USB drive connected to it, if you have other data there, you'll need a different method to back up that other data. In a pinch, you can disconnect a USB drive from your Time Capsule, attach it to your Mac, and copy or back it up that way. There is a procedure that will let you archive the Time Capsule's internal disk to a USB drive connected to it. But it's not quick; all users will be disconnected from both the internal HD and the connected USB disk while it's running (but the network will remain usable); and it's all or nothing -- you can only use this procedure to copy the entire contents.

Re: Airport Express or Belkin Modem Router ?
David I have used Folders Synchroniser for this sort of thing for years. Not all that fancy but seems reliable and not expensive. www.softobe.com Alternatively SuperDuper may be more to your taste. www.shirt-pocket.com Don't let anyone scorn you for displaying backup paranoia I have five firewire drives on a firewire hub as well as two internal drives in my G5 which are used for backup and other functions for the G5 and MacBook including monthly creation of cloned bootable copies of both computers, hourly Time Machine backups on the G5 and a schedule of other selected backing up tasks of everything in sight. Some vital stuff is additionally saved to data DVDs This comes from my paranoia on this issue, engendered some years ago in the Physics Dept at UWA, when my spectrometer control DEC PDP machine and my desktop Mac had three disk crashes/writeoffs between them in the space of two weeks. I really felt someone was out to get me then. So stick with as much backing up as makes you happy and able to sleep at night.

Re: Airport Express or Belkin Modem Router ?
Hi David, Hi Ronni, I think what David is looking for (correct me if I'm wrong) is redundancy for his Time Machine backup. With drives so cheap nowadays, It is certainly something I have wondered about. Like many others, I already have the dual approach of: * a SuperDuper bootable clone - primarily in case of hard drive failure gets me back up and running ASAP * Time machine - in case of file problems, eg file corruption (already saved me here) mistaken deletion, etc But given the particular advantages of TM in certain situations (which the clone does not cover), it would be nice to have redundancy for the TM ideally a simple set-up that just effectively does the TM backup to two disks simultaneously. I would imagine one could always use a mirrored RAID drive but this introduces its own risks. It would just be nice to have some way to either have: 1. Time machine write it¹s backup identically and simultaneously to two attached drives (my ideal solution but I can think of no way to do it!) OR 2. Have an automated set-up to keep a second drive synchronised with the main TM drive. The purpose, of course, is to still have a fully functioning TM backup even if your TM drive fails. As you point out, the problem with your archiving solution is that you copy the entire drive contents a huge time-consuming task on a multi-GB drive whereas the beauty of the TM backup is it only copies the CHANGES typically a quick write of many small files. I wonder how a SuperDuper smartupdate would work this is supposed to only copy the files which have changed since the last update. I don¹t really know enough about how time machine works at that level to know if it would just recognise the clone without problem (if the primary TM drive had failed). If the solution DID work OK, I think you would need to be very careful with timing you would not want to be trying to do a smartupdate from your TM drive at the same time as a TM backup was happening. Anyway, David, if I misunderstood your post apologies for hijacking the thread ;o) Ronni, given your knowledge of the intricacies of TM, I would love to hear your thoughts. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

Yes CCC does pretty much the same thing as SuperDuper and both can do ³smart² updates where the only thing that is updated is what has changed. There are also other ways of ³synchronising² files/folders/drives. The thing is if you use SuperDuper (or CCC) to clone the TM drive, and then keep it updated with ³smart² updates and then your ³main² TM drive dies - will the cloned drive perform in the same way as the original did: * will TM recognise the cloned TM drive as the TM drive * will it be searchable as before for previous versions of a file * will you be able to ³restore² a file using TM as before * most importantly, for the first TM backup using the cloned drive, will it continue to incrementally backup or will it treat it as a ³new² drive and do a complete ³new² TM backup.

Re: VoIP wireless modem router
Hi Eugene, I think it is certainly good advice to check out the modem warrantee as suggested by Daniel, but there is a possibility that you will be disappointed. Some warranties do not cover damage caused by power spikes unless you have a surge protector correctly installed. Not trying to be negative but thought I would warn you of the possibility.

Re: VoIP wireless modem router
Oh yes! I have Belkin Surgeboards protecting all my equipment in my house. I've had a couple die over the years. One protecting my ADSL modem / Airport Time Capsule/ and phone. The Surgeboard took the lightning strike and died, my equipment was protected. Another protecting my TV Sound Equipment and Belkin replaced the Surgeboards FREE! I did not have to even pay for delivery costs of the new units.They were virtually replaced overnight. Their warranty is lifetime, no questions asked. When I setup new clients, I make sure they have Belkin Surgeboards protecting all their equipment. Actually Daniel, I will be getting in touch possibly for another after I check out a new Network setup later this week.

Voip wireless modem router for iiNet naked
Hi Daniel, Derek, Ronni, Carlo, Rob and anyone else I've missed,thanks for your response regarding my toasted router woes.The router power plug was on a surge board but I didn't have a power protector on the telephone line coming in. I suspect that was the culprit as other devices on the same board were unaffected.I rang up iiNet support and they had no other Bob Lites (the normal Bob is too expensive) so suggested the Billion or a D-LinkGoing by the whirlpool forum they recommended a billion.I went out and searched all over Midland including the normal places like Harvey (only stocked a very expensive NetCom - not very helpful), Dickies, JB and GoodGuys had no Voip modems, OfficeWorks had a netcom for $90 less than Harvey.Ended out at Austin computers and they only had the low end netgear for $139. So far this seems equal to the task of the old Belkin.SetUp unfortunately is through the dark side - just as well fusion is installed on my Mac.The supplied software wizards installed and connected to the internet and wireless fine.Voip is still not configured so I'm waiting on a call back from iiNet to solve that one.Thanks again for your help and Rob for forwarding the message to the forum.

Thanks both to Noel and Stuart for your advise. I have the white Belkin router and have never had a firmware update. I purchased a lap top last year and it took me about a week to get it connected.

Fairly easy to set up. Personally (and this is my own experience, so others may differ), I'm not a big fan of Netcomm or D-Link. I find them to be a bit un-reliable and don't last as long. (I've gone through 3 Netcomm modems with a client and they only last about 9 months before falling over. All covered by warranty, but still a pain in downtime and swapping them out for a new one) Just my 2cents with anyway. However, if it's a setting, then a new modem may do the same as well. So if the Belkin isn't too old a model, may be worth revisiting the settings for it,as another idea as well ;) Hope that helps.

Hi Julie -- -- You should be able to get good advice from Belkin about your laptop, as long as you get on to the Australian mob. You can email back and forth, they will give you the firmware update as an attachment, with instructions. If you have problems doing the update, just contact them again, I seem to remember that you can phone them too.

Router suggestions
I am with iinet at the moment but for the last couple of days was having severe problems keeping my connection up and running. I am using a Netgear DG834Gv2 which I have been using for some time. I think an upgraded router would / might address my stability issue. Having had a look online I am inclined to buy a BiPAC 7800(N). Do any of you have any suggestions or experience with this model in particular with iChat AV? Also can you suggest an alternative ?

Re: ROUTER
Hi Daniel, The Belkin is about 2 /3 years old, I bought it from iinet. I purchased a laptop last year and could not get that to work. I eventually got it working after days of spending time fiddling. Now with the ipad, I am experiencing the same problems. The shop could'nt help me connecting the lap top, so not much point asking them about the ipad. It is probably an incorrect setting. Thinking of getting someone in to set it up for me as I simply do not have the time messing around with it. What is your charge rate ? I am in Carine. Thank you so much for your info though.

Re: ROUTER
Hi Julie, It is likely to be a security password encryption issue. Check whether it is WEP, WPA or WPA2. I'm assuming it is WPA2. Try different options (but not WEP). You may also have to do a firmware update. We had to do that for some Linksys ADSL modems before they would work with Apple wireles. Might save you a couple of dollars!

Re: ROUTER
Hi Julie -- -- To endorse Stuart's recommendations, I remember than when I first got my Belkin router (maybe 5 years ago), there were continually-recurring problems until I got and applied a firmware update. -- You may have to push a bit to get the right update. When I first tried Belkin customer service, I scrambled for hours with various of their Indian customer service people. It was not until I mentioned that I had a WHITE Belkin router that I was passed to Australian Customer Service, apparently the only people who had the right firmware for my model.

Re: wireless-router
Thanks to all those who provided ideas about a router. The scene certainly has changed with gs and bs and some routers not being ADSL compatible. Ended up choosing a Billion 7404VGPX ADSL2+/3G Modem with VoIP. Hope it does all the dances that are promised.

Re: wireless-router
Hi Merv, I have been running a Billion 7402 VGP for over four years now - same unit, hasn't skipped a beat (touch wood!) VOIP with Internode's nodephone is indistinguishable from fixed line. It has fixed line support so my standard phone will receive the fixed-line calls coming in and make outgoing VOIP calls from the same units (and fall-back to fixed line if the internet ever went down (it doesn't - touch wood, again!). Although this model would meet all your needs, it obviously is not a current model. Billion seem to have more of a choice now than four years ago - for VOIP routers, see: http://au.billion.com/product/voip.php I haven't looked more closely to see which current unit is the logical successor to mine - I guess I will update... sometime... but, really, at present it still does everything I want :o) Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

Re: Telstra Wireless Next G Gateway modem/router
Hi Vlad Nice to hear from you and thanks for your interest in this. I bought the first modem from a local phone shop in Busselton about a year ago. As soon as I had it home and tried to set up I came upon the problem, that is ongoing. I then found out about Telstra Country wide who work from Bunbury and the manager there has been helping out ever since and is determined to find out what the hell is going on. He had ordered the second modem early this year which is the one we are working on now, and is about to order the third. I hope BigPond actually take up the challenge to. Im thinking of upgrading to a new macbook with snow leopard and hope I dont have the same issues Best regards Chris On 21/05/2010, at 12:35 PM, Vladimir James wrote: Chris, I have been following your problem with the 3G9WB with interest, as I have been considering the replacement of my Maxon BP3-EXT with the Netcomm device. The Netcomm 3G9WB is listed by BigPond as the recommended device for Snow Leopard. BigPond states that the Maxon BP3-EXT does not support ... Snow Leopard, although I have recently brought to their attention the fact that I have been successfully using it with SL for many months. Strange. (I have had no reply from them on this matter.) In any case, I await some resolution to your problem. Could you tell me how you went about obtaining the 3G9WB, as BigPond is not exactly clear about this?
