hey.. I HAVE the same router but I couldn’t fix it too! I have a PPPOE connection (bayanDSL) but I couldn’t connect to the internet. It is always limited access when using wireless connection

I have the same router, however, i’m having problems with the wifi part.

i can browse the pc using the LAN connection. however, i can’t browse the internet using my phone via WIFI (i can connect to the router but can’t browse any page). my phone works with other free hotspots.

Can you please help me out?

Hi Bob: My phone is a Treo Pro using Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional.

It does work on public hotspots.

Hope you can help me.

@bob: it’s the same problem when using my Sony Ericsson P990i as well. Maybe this info is useful.

I can connect to the router via WiFi but I just can’t browse any website. It just says connecting on the browser for a long time then I get a message stating that the web page cannot be opened.

Re LP-8186: I cant make it work with my ACER 4310, just does not work, I was asked to call their support group cant get thru in those those numbers as well, its hard. I wanna return this thing already.

hi sir,im having problem with my cdr king router…it always redirect to the smartbro portal..btw im using smartbro….i cant use 2 pc at the same time..please help me…cn u email me @ g_mantra22@yahoo.com…tnx so much

hi bob, i have the same router as yours but im really having a bad time with my router. My router works well with my desktop but the problem is in my laptop it says Access Local Only But i cant connect to the internet my isp i smart bro. Also im trying to reinstall the configuration CD for the router set up but the cd says that UNCONNECTED!! every time i tried to play the CD it just say UNCONNECTED. Hope u can help me. GODBLESS BRO and MORE POWER

@coolstrike: did you try to enter your username and password?

This is actually a security feature of smart bro. They already recognize the original MAC address of the pc the connection was installed.

Normally, entering the username and password fixes the problem.

If not, the CDRKING ROUTER has a CLONE MAC ADDRESS feature. Use it and use the MAC address of ur PC (the one where smart bro was originally installed).

How do you configure the encryption key? when i go to the security section of the router adminpage, the PASSPHRASE section cannot be changed

hi bob. i have the same wireless router model from cdr – king.. cannot connect it to my laptop. I’m using a cable connection btw…. please… email me the configuration so i can use my internet connection using cdr king wireless router. thanks in advance..

btw.. here’s my email address: jappykoh@yahoo.com

hey guys, pls help me. im also using the same CD-R KING router like bobs. at the first time i set up the my connection, i have a desktop and a laptop connected via router, i connected the Smartbro utp cable to the WAN port, and the 2 computers had internet, but this time, i lost my connection because i had a delay on paying my account, but now i have my internet connection back, and after i connected it again to the router,my 2 computers had no internet. why is that? i think its the router who has the problem. help me ASAP pls. this is my email add -> keizee311@yahoo.com. thnx

i successfully connect my router LP-8186 wirelessly and LAN-ly.
Heres the Solution:
First, u nid to know that mine is vista ultimate. And our network is skycable (ZPDEE) OR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER.

when u already installed ds router kindly reset ur router by holding the button 20secs. (need to use a pin-like to fit the hole)

if not, proceed..

step 1: plug ur router LP-8186
step 2: connect ur modem lan cable to ur router LP-8186 WAN slot.

By now ur WAN n POWER light should be lighted. And WLAN blinking.

step 3: turn on laptop or desktop, turn on wireless network, search for wireless network, then connect CD-R_King.

step 4: w8 until it connects. when connected, thats the tym u open un broswer (Internet Explorer or Mozilla). Type in 192.168.1.254
u should be able to connect to ur router. if not, repeat procedure.

step 5: u shud be able to see the settings of the router labeled at the left side. To input security,go under wiress then security,WEP, click set WEP. do ur thing then apply changes,ok,close.

step 6: on ur lower ryt left click on the 2 computers, click connect to a network. then ryt click the network that u wer connected before, select properties, security type should se shared,encryption type should be WEP then ur password.

i guess that would be it.. hahaha..

Be careful on changing the settings of the router.. this may cause disconnection.. youll gona have to repeat the procedure again..

i desperately need your assistance on setting up my wireless router.

the CD-R KING should provide a comprehinsive and detailed manual set up in LP8186..I have downloaded their manual and it sounds bullshit..if possible they should provide video tutorial too..until now, they dont update this..i regret of buying this junk wireless router made in taiwan..

Hi Bob,

I’ve just purchased a Belkin N1 Wireless Router and can’t connect to the internet, I’m subscribe to Bayantel DSL and the connection type is PPPoE. Already tried to configured it but still unsuccessful. Hope you could assist me. Thank you very much!

hi! i don’t if i shpould post my question here, not a techie person… i also brought the same wifi router, CD-R Kings’ LP-8186… router was set up by the smart broadband personnel who installed our broadband connection… we have 3 laptops (acer aspire one / win vista), acer aspire one netbook (xp) and an asus eee pc 701 (converted to xp)… the two acer laptops can detect the wifi connection but the asus laptop can’t… when i check the properties of the router connection on the acer netbook, it was set up using WPA2-PSK, and when i check the wifi properties on my asus laptop there is no option for WPA2-PSK, just WPA… i think i need to reset the router but don’t know how… i’m afraid if i do, other laptops won’t detect wifi… help! oh, my nokia E63 phone can also detect the wifi signal and was able to connect online… pls help… my email add is bhebhe_koy1105@yahoo.com… sorry if i posted wrong…

pls….help me, the router i have is color white.it’s been a month i can’t use it. i can’t connect to the internet..i am also using a dsl broadband.i think they are not compatible.

Hi, just need help. I bought the same router for use with my vista laptop. problem is, until now I’m forced to use the LAN. everytime I connect to the WLAN, it says disconnected (even with the LAN connected). I can’t figure it out since the signal is fine (100%) but the laptop just can’t connect with the router.Would really appreciate the help, thanks.

The laptop can already detect CD-R_KING but then when typing the ip address 192.168.1.254 many times it still won’t connect.

Hi,

Been using this brand of router( lan, wifi) with smartbro for over a year with no problem. Until recently, I assigned a password via 192.16.1.254. Since then, i couldn’t connect on my wireless anymore. It’s giving me a “limited or no connectivity” flag or notice. Something must be wrong on the set up I did.
If there’s anyone out there who can help pls let me know. My email is bgarc1621@yahoo.com

hi. i just bought the same router. but i can’t configure it, the installer that came with it keeps on giving me an error message. how can i set it up?

have the same router working fine for the first couple of months… (bought it off my officemate, slightly used)…

suddenly, it can’t detect my pldt zyxel P600 series modem anymore… the WAN led on the router is not blinking nor the LAN led on the modem when the two are connected…

the only way i could get the router working again is to wire the modem directly to the computer first and make the internet connection run for a little while… after about 30 minutes or so, i connect the wire of the modem to the router and it’ll work again… the leds will light up and i could use the wifi… this kind of routine is now getting tedious…

please help me… my email is aya_1822004@yahoo.com

Hi. Could you please help me out? We have the exact same installer, but neglected to use it. Now that we finally have a use for it, we don’t know how to set it up anymore. We lost the box and everything.. I have just the router, a chord which seems to conenct to the internet and the one for the power. Tried hooking up everything but when I tried locating the wifi signal, it couldn’t be found.

What do I do? Please help..

hi! I have problem setting up my LP-8186 router. can anyone tell me whats the right settings for this router and how this setting can be done. I am not a techie person. I bought this since aside from being cheap it says on the box that it includes a quick setup disc. After installing the hardware I tried to run the easy set-up button for the sofware setup but it wont work. I tried to do manual but i can only connect to LAN at first there was no internet connection, I tweaked some more settings i ultimately got it but no wifi my compact and acer loptop cannot detect wifi signal. So I tweaked the settings some more, now I dont have both LAN and wifi. I got so frustrated i remove the router and got back to the modem connection.

I’m using PLDT myDSL with xyzel 600 modem. my OS is windows XP.

Hello! I bought a newer model LP-8686 but im having problem. Im using windows vista ultimate so i can easily see if i have an internet or not. my connection icon in the sys tray says “Local and Internet” but i cannot browse any sites or connect any instant messanger. So the two things im thinking for the cause of this problem is that the unit is defective or there are still some problems with the configuration.
I know this is a different unit but i hope you can still help me with it.

Hi, I got the CD-R KING LP8186 and was working with smartbro. I switched to mydsl and the internet is working with the cable but can not connect via wireless… pls help, thanks

please send me how to configure my router..send to me please…:)

hi, i have the same wireless router but i can’t seem to configure it with both my laptops. the Quick Installation Guide that came with router isn’t helping and frankly the technicians at the cdr king branch near aren’t the most friendly ones. will you please help me? I have a NEO netbook and an HP laptop.. thank you in advance!!

Hi Sir, we both have the same router & it is working fine. Only thing is that I want to set-up a security access for my router, so that whenever the router is turned on, you need a user id & password to be able to have access to the wireless connection. Appreciate it a lot if you can spare some time sending me a step-by-step guide.
Still Merry Christmas & A Peaceful New Year!
