Use wired ethernet to connect AX to linksys router

there's a wireless linksys router in my apartment (the kind that also has 4 wired ports in the back). the wireless works ok, but my landlord refuses to put a password on it for some bizarre reason. I'd like to run my AX off one of the ethernet ports and set up my own wireless network, just for me. I figure the wired signal from the router will be much more dependable and not subject to everyone in my building who's using our internet to download pron. so should I make any settings changes to the AX in order to use the wired ethernet signal coming from the router? it's a WRT54GS. thanks!

ok this worked, partially. I've got my APX set up in "bridge" mode, which seems to simply pass the dynamically assigned IP address from the Linksys router to the APX and on to my computer. that makes sense. but this is problematic for a few reasons:
-- my baseline intention here was to set up a wireless network that I control completely, that would "hijack" the internet signal from a wired port on the existing Linksys router (over which I have no administrative control) and pass this internet connection to my laptop using my APX (which I absolutely control).
-- however, using Bridge mode, I do not have the ability to control things like port forwarding.
-- when I do a NAT test through Azureus, I get this error: "Testing port 62000 ...
NAT Error - Connect attempt to 69.22.214.163:62000 (your computer) timed out after 20 seconds. This means your port is probably closed."
this tell me that (obviously) the IP address of the Linksys router is simply being passed on to the APX and therefore passed to my computer. that's fine for simply getting on the internet but it's not fine for port forwarding and Azureus.
so, any ideas here? can I still do all this somehow?
thanks!

How can I connect my i pad to a hard wired ethernet internet connection?

Can I connect my i pad to a hard wired ethernet internet connection?

No you can't. You can use Internet sharing with your computer making the computer the WiFi hotspot for the iPad, but you cannot connect the iPad to an Ethernet cable.

Don't configure wi-fi (wireless) if/when (wired) ethernet is connected?

Is there a way to have mac os x not configure the wireless if/when the wired ethernet is "Connected".
My problem is that the wired connection is much more robust and I would prefer that connection.
I want both to use dhcp and request a hostname to be associated with the IP given by dhcp.
Since the wireless will almost always come up after the wired ethernet, it seem to want to
still the hostname to IP association and establish it for the wireless IP address.
This is not what I want.
The use case: put laptop to sleep. Move to a location that has wired ethernet.
Laptop is still asleep with the lid closed. Connect the wired ethernet cable.
Open the lid. Laptop wakes up and quickly establishes a connection using
dhcp on the wired ethernet. I little time later the wireless connection gets established.
The hostname get stolen from the wired and moved to the wireless which is
not at all optimal.
If there is anyway to avoid this, I would really appreciate it if someone could point
me to the solution.
Thanks.

This is a bug in OS X. It seems if WiFi is on, even if there is a Ethernet cable connected it always defaults to the WiFi connection. Even if the WiFi is off and you have a Ethernet cable connected when you turn on the computer and then turn on WiFi it again defaults to the WiFi connection.
I notice this all the time with file transfers across my home LAN. If the MBP WiFi is on the transfers take forever.
If I turn off WiFi files move much quicker from computer to computer. If I then turn on WiFi and do another transfer it goes slow again. This is with a Ethernet cable connected the whole time.
The computer, any computer, should aways default to the fastest connection no matter what other connections are available. In OS X this is not the case.
The other bug you are seeing is the NetBIOS name, Host name, not being propagated properly on the WINS tab under Network, Advanced, WINS, at least it is for me. Which stops Windows PCs from connecting to a Mac.
Sure the Mac Host name shows up on Win PCs but when trying to reach the Mac it comes up with a Username & Password dialog and even though you type in the correct Username & Password for the Mac it comes back with "Name or Password are incorrect".

Can't Connect Via Wired Ethernet Broadband Connection

Replaced a Westell 7500 with a DSL-N10 because of constant disconnects. The Westell had no problem connecting via the wired ethernet broadband connection which I switch to when I need to improve buffering for videos. The DSL-N10 won't connect and reports "Error 651 Modem reported a problem". I reconnected the Westell to determine if there was a problem but it connected to the wired connection immediately. Question is do I need to change or add a setting in the DSL-N10 to get a wired connection or is this something I need to conract Verizon support about?

I have an ipad first generation. I am trying to connect to a linksys router and it is not finding the wireless network. what do i need to do?

I have an ipad first generation. I am trying to connect to a linksys router and the ipad is not finding the wireless network. What do I need to do? Thanks for your help.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Can I use the time capsule connected to my linksys wireless hub

I just bought the Time Capsule to use as storage and use my printer remotely. I already have at home a Linksys wireless hub, can I use both, the Time Capsule, and the Linksys ? With the Capsule connected to the Linksys.

I just bought the Time Capsule to use as storage and use my printer remotely. I already have at home a Linksys wireless hub
So, you want to use the Time Capsule only as a backup device and continue to use the Linksys router for your wireless network, is that correct?
If yes, are you able to connect the Time Capsule to the Linksys router using an Ethernet cable?

Can't browse web (outbound HTTP port 80) using wired Ethernet

I just purchased a new 20" Core 2 Duo iMac today (Leopard installed) and I'm seeing a very strange problem: I can't browse the web using a wired Ethernet connection. Here are the specifics:
- When I set up wireless ethernet w/ Airport, it works fine (outbound port 80 access is successful)
- Going back to wired ethernet, when I pop down into a shell, I notice that outbound FTP (port 25), outbound SSH on port 15554 works fine. When I run curl (text-based web browser), it hangs. This tells me that its only port 80 that's giving me problems and nothing else. The network connection in general is fine.
This tells me the following:
- wireless ethernet is working fine
- wired ethernet mostly works - all outbound TCP ports that I've tested work great. Its just the HTTP/Web port 80 that seems to be blocked.
I went into the Security area and under Firewalls, it appears that the default configuration is set up to allow just about anything out and in.
This is so bizzare - I thing as far as networking goes, the web access is the most important one, so I can't see Apple disabling this somehow. What gives??
Earlier, I had set up a few user accounts for the rest of the family and set up Parental Controls on my two kids accounts. When I started noticing the outbound web access issues, I even went as far as deleting all the accounts to try to return the system as close as possible to how i received it.
Anyone have any ideas why my outbound web access is blocked?
Thanks,
Ben

I am not sure what the fix is but let me give it a try here for you. (Making sure edit works with questions 1,2,3)
1. What version of ColdFusion Builder are you running. Are you sure you are running Beta 3?
2. Can you access these files from your explorer window?
3. Are you using RDS to connect to these files or the file system? (should be able to do both but that might be helpful to know which is failing.)
4. Now the final question... by browse you might have a different issue. What version of CF server are you running? This might not be the issue but again could be if you are running developer version. If not an issue let me know and will try to hook up with you via connect to do an online screen share and help you out here.

AirPlay function when using wired Ethernet?

Can I use AirPlay between my IPhone 6 and new Apple TV when the AppleTV uses a wired Ethernet connection?

As mentioned above, the answer is yes. That is how I use it. It will also work fine if both the ATV and a Mac are wired.
It is somewhat unfortunate that Apple has decided to name certain networking features with "Air" as I've run into many situations where people think it will only work if the devices are all on the same WiFi network. Recently, after installing a printer and connecting it to the network with an Ethernet cable, someone asked me, "Why did you do that? Now I won't be able to AirPrint to it."
Sigh.

How to set up printers using wired ethernet without appletalk

Curse of Snow Leopard. I've spent an hour or more reading posts to no avail. I have a couple of macs on a wired ethernet network and a couple of older printers. Everything was a breeze to set up using Appletalk but now that I have a nice new Mac Pro and OS 10.6 I'm stuck.
Can someone walk me through this process step by step? Or point me to instructions I can understand? I know the printer IP addresses. I know that for the computers I'm using DHCP which I vaguely know has something to do with the internet. I get that these addresses change and that's bad for sending to a printer. I do not get how to change the printer addresses--they are programmed in to the hardware in both (old--from the '90s). I also don't have a clue what the difference is between IP printer, LPD printer, etc. I can get the system to see the printers and I can set them up but nothing prints. Yes, I could use a print server running an older OS with Appletalk but I'd really like not to have to--power, heat, noisy fans, more boxes and monitors in my workspace.

Well, I suggest you do some experimenting - try IP > HP Jetdirect protocol instead of LPD (Jetdirect doesn't require a queue name).
I have seen other queue name possibilities mentioned on the web - PS (means send to the postscript queue), PCL (means send to the PCL queue), and text (means send to an unfiltered text queue).
text may be a good first try for queue name - to see if anything will work.
Have you tried pinging that IP address to make sure it is right? Is your computer's IP address in that same subnet 192.168.1.xxx?

How do I access my time capsule using a Ethernet cable connected to my pc?

I am trying to access my saved files on my time capsule. I don't have internet so I'm trying to use an Ethernet cable. I'm using a PC laptop not a Mac. I have no idea how to access them.

Load the airport utility for windows.. as that helps by loading the bonjour for windows service.
Then open windows explorer and type the IP of the TC directly which you will find in the airport utility.
\\10.0.1.1 (that is default.. replace with whatever the actual is).

I'm Able to connect AE to Linksys Router: Some tTps

OK:
For several weeks (off & on) I have been trying to connect my Airport Express to my Linksys WRT54G wireless router network, but have run into several recurring bottlenecks. Well, I feel that I have busted through the dam yesterday, based on some feedback from folks, along with a lot of trial and error. Below, I address a couple of problems that keep recurring in this forum.
*Problem 1:*
My AE in no longer seen on my network.
Solution:
My AE should have its own Apple ad-hoc network, if all I have powered-on is my laptop, the AE and a set of powered speakers that the AE will stream music to.
The AE's ad-hoc network should show up in your system tray's connection window
with a name similar to "Apple Network XXXXXX" , where XXXXXX represent the AE's 6-rightmost hex digits of its 12-digit hex MAC (Media Access Control) address.
Last week, I did a complete factory reset on the AE. Yesterday, when I tried to have the laptop generate an ad-hoc network, it couldn't: it kept trying to attach to a prior network that I had created with my router (which by the way, is currently turned off), but couldn't find it. I did several more factory resets, with no luck. The AE would not generate the ad-hoc network ! I tried both, with and without an Ethernet cable running from the AE to the laptop.
Frustrated, I took a gamble and did an "intermediate" reset of the AE.
Note: The AE is wired to the laptop, plugged in, with stereo speakers connected and turned-on. Using a paper clip, I pressed-in the AE's reset button, and held it for ~10 seconds. It worked I could now see my "Apple Network XXXXXX" ad-hoc connection listed in my system tray's list of networks to connect to.
Now that I had the ad-hoc network for the AE, the question was to figure out how to add this device (the AE) to the Linksys router's wireless network.
*Problem 2:*
I'm unable to add the AE to my existing Linksys wireless network.
Solution:
I turned on the cable modem and the Linksys router, and let them boot.
At this point , I have the AE hardwired to the router via Ethernet cable.
I opened the Linksys Easy Setup (or similar name) Help tool to view what the Linksys tool could see. It saw that the laptop was connected to the router, but not the AE. Initially, the laptop was connected via Ethernet cable to the router, but I then made that a wireless connection withe the Easy Setup.
I opened Airport Utility and proceeded to configure the network for AE, via a Manual setup. Airport Utility was able to see my ad-hoc network and saw the AE, with its name "Apple Network XXXXXX".
I wanted to have the AE join my existing 64/40-bit WEP wireless network.
I had followed all of the prior advice but with no luck.
Here's the kicker:
On one of the the Airport Utility tabs:
You want to select to "Join A Wireless Network".
On the tab that has the checkboxes , check your settings:
"Remember this password in my keychain" (Optional, I have it checked)
"Set time automatically" (unchecked)
"Advertise configuration globally using Bonjour" (unchecked)
If you have the "time" and/or "Bonjour" checkboxes checked, you will get a different set of network connection types to select from under the Wireless tab, and the typical WEP settings (WEP 60/40) won't be among the choices
This is where I was having problems. If you use the above checkbox settings,
you WILL get the WEP 40 in the drop-down menu to choose from under the Wireless tab. Make sure that the password/encryption key that you use for is the same that your used for when setting-up your wireless router. You do not have to precede it with a $ sign. (Example: when you setup your WEP-40/64 connection with your router, you had to use a 10-hex digit encryption key, or provide a 5 ASCII character Passcode that would be converted into a 10-digit hex encryption key. My advice: Forget about the PassCode...just type in a 10-hex-digit key into the Key 1 slot in the router setup, and USE THIS SAME KEY in Airport Utility. It will be 10 hex digits long, where hex-digits are 0-9, and A-F.
Finish the setup, and once Airport Utility reconfigures, you will get the solid green LED on the AE. At this point disconnect the Ethernet cable.
Now, open your router's setup program and check the network. You should now see the AE on the same network as your router and laptop, wirelessly !
Open iTunes. In the lower-right corner, you should see a dropdown menu from which you may select speakers. Select your speakers by the name you gave them.
Click on any tune that you have in iTunes, and click the Play button. You should now be able to hear the tune playing out of your speakers, wirelessly !
You are no longer using the ad-hoc network. You now have the AE connected to same same wireless network that your laptop is on, via the wireless router.
Music is playing from iTunes (via AirTunes) on your laptop, though the router to the AE, to the speakers, wirelessly !

you don't mention which products you use
only ipad2 and up support mirror
and only iphone4s and up support mirror
other devices only use airplay for apps which support tvout options

Logging inbound and outbound connections through my Linksys router

Hi There,
I have a Linksys wireless router (WRT54G series) that I use to connect to the internet with my cable modem. I would like to be able to configure my home network to log inbound and outbound connections through my router.
My router, which I bought brand new a couple of years ago, provides some very basic logging through its administration interface. I can view a current log of very recent (within the past couple of minutes) inbound and outbound connections/traffic. However, I would like to be able to configure my network to log all inbound and outbound traffic for at least 1 or 2 days and have this log saved somewhere so I can retrieve and review it at a more convenient time. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this with my current Linksys router and would like some help in configuring my system.
Is it possible for me to configure (perhaps with a firmware upgrade or even by replacing my older Linksys router with a newer one) my router to continuously log a day or more's worth of inbound and outbound connections? If this is possible, what changes do I need to implement? Does Linksys offer a wireless router that has more sophisticated logging capabilities? What is the longest log period that I can create with a Linksys router?
If it's not possible to create such a log with my router, then what other components would I need to log this information? I've thought about setting up a Linux server with two network cards installed to act as a gateway between my router and cable modem which will log traffic. Would this be a good strategy to implement logging?
Thanks in advance.
Tom

well...the router's in-built log will only provide basic information about the incoming/outgoing log . So, it will be a good idea to install a separate log viewer .....

HT3500 Wifi connection stabilization - on Linksys Router

Any help for a stubborn wifi connection that intermittently works on the G-band and N-band, but continuously drops signal to MacBook Pro OS X? Signal will drop on a hat, sometimes works for 30 minutes and other times 30 seconds.

If your MacBook Pro does not have this issue when connected to other Wi-Fi networks then either the Linksys router is the culprit or there is Wi-Fi interference present in the area that is preventing the router from providing a clean signal.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.

How do i create a secure internet connection with my linksys router?
