WRT54G behind another Linksys router

the WRT 54 is donated and we are trying to expand to cover more computers from our original 8 pport Linksys rouoter and add wireless. Plugged the WRT internet into a port from the original router and it shows the IP address as 192.168.1.1xx for each of the additional computers we hook up with ethernet and the wireless IP is also of that sequence for IP addressing. But we cannot get to the Internet. The WRT 54 as a stand alone router works just fine, ethernet and wireless Internet connections. Is there something we need to do to set up the WRT to work behind the other Linksys router.

  • Wake on lan for macbook pro residing behind a linksys router in clamshell

    Hi:
    I have a macbook pro residing behind a router at home
    with its lid closed connected to an external display
    and USB keyboard and mouse. When I use it at home, I
    use the keyboard and mouse to wake it up (I believe
    this is called clamshell mode) and use the external display.
    I would like to access the machine from my office.
    I have set up the "wake from lan" option in enery saver
    and have forwarded port 9 (UDP) to the macbook pro.
    But the machine does not wake up and I cannot ssh
    into it from the outside (I have forwarded port 22 to it as well).
    Is this a problem with operating it with the lid closed
    that "wake on lan" is not working ?
    How do I set this up ?
    Thanks!

    It has been fixed by latest SMC firmware update. Works fine on Mountain Lion.

  • Can I connect another Linksys router to my current Linksys router?

    Hello everybody,
    I have 3 computers in my house. One computer which is used by my brother and he downloads a ton of porn, music, and opens a lot of ports for online gaming. Needless to say he is a very high risk user. I would like to isolate his computer from mine and my sisters.
    Can I use two seperate routers? One router which he connects to and my sister and I connect to the other router. Will this prevent any possible file sharing between my computer and my brothers? Is this a safe way to isolate my computer from his? Please let me know how I can do this. Thanks a lot!!!

    yes it is possible.
    Here's what you do:
    1. connect your computer to the new router (your router) to the regular port/s 1,2,3,4.
    2. Access the set up page of the router (at this point there is no internet connection)>> click start, click run typed in the run field http://192.168.1.1 and enter
    3. Leave the username blank and password is admin for the router (unless you changed it)
    4. On the set up page>>> you'll see there local ip address on boxes 192.168.1.1>> change it to 192.168.2.1, then save settings and power cycle your router.
    5. Connect now your router to his router>> to do this, run a cable from the regular port of his router to the "internet or WAN port" on your router. Reboot your computer and your router.
    ** on this way his computer should not be able to talk to your computers coz of the different IP address range**

  • How do I transfer files via Filezilla ftp behind a linksys router?

    I have allowed access for my ftp client though my firewall, but I cannot figure out how to allow access for the Filezilla ftp client. Your help is appreciated.

    Make sure it works from modem directly. To forward ports manually, open setup page of router using http:// 192.168.1.1 in the address bar by giving password admin keeping username blank.Go to Application & Gamings tab & forward ports for assigned static ip of your computer on which you want to access the filezilla ftp.

  • Linksys Router Slowing Apple TV Downloads, but Nothing Else

    So here is my problem.
    I have very fast cable modem broadband (16/2). But Apple TV HD content seems to download at less than 1Mbps.
    My system is cable modem (Scientific Atlanta) to Linksys WRT54G (broadcasting on channel 6; no significant strong nearby WiFi signals) wirelessly to Apple TV / Powerbook G4 /iMac (with WPA security).
    If I run download tests of 100MB files, I'm clocking over 10Mbps most times, clocking about 6-8 Mbps during primetime hours. Yet no matter what time of day, Apple TV HD downloads clock in at about 1Mbps.
    At first I thought Comcast was to blame (see previous thread). But I've ruled this out by connecting the modem directly to the Apple TV via ethernet, and then getting extremely fast downloads. I've also connected the Apple TV via ethernet to the router, and achieved extremely fast downloads.
    So the problem appears to be in how my router communicates with the Apple TV. I've read in these forums that changing the "multicast rate" on an Apple router improved Apple TV performance, but there is no such setting on the Linksys. The only thing that comes close are the settings for "basic rate" and "transmission rate" neither of which make a difference. There is another option to disable the "filter multicast" function, but as far as I know Apple TV is not multicasting in the way that say an IPTV service like BBC's does.
    So I'm at a loss. For now, I'm just leaving the router plugged into the Apple TV via ethernet, but I'd rather (for other reasons) go in wirelessly.

    Linksys, eh???
    In the router's setting, try disabling "IPS" if your particular model has that feature.
    When I upgraded my service to 30/5, I was still getting only 10/4 BEHIND the Linksys router (but 30/4 direct from the modem). So somehow my Linksys RVS4000 was restricting, or not processing quick enough. Disabling the IPS function solved my problem. (But since Linksys uses IPS as a security feature in a proprietary manner, and I don't like to be unprotected, I've since gone with a D-Link router that's safer and faster...)

  • Networking skipped in installing Solaris 9, 10 behind a Linksy router

    Hi, gurus,
    I am trying to install Solaris 9 or 10 on a PC on a 192.168.0.0 network behind a linksys router but can not have the networking set up on it.
    During the installation, I was prompted for the host name, but I did not have a chance to enter the information usually prompted for, such as IP address, network mask, default gateway, DNS servers, etc. That networking part was simply skipped. The installation is otherwise straightforward, and Solaris runs on the PC, only no networking.
    ifconfig -a shows only the lo0 loopback.
    I wonder if this is because the PC is on a 192.168.0.0 network behind a router, or because the network card is not recognized. I ran solaris 9 configuration assistant again. The configuration assistant does briefly displays the network card when polling for hardware devices: "Xir com Pocket Ethernet Parallel Port Card".
    I found a posting on the internet that shows an example of [successful installation of Solaris 10 on a ldap top with exactly the Xir com Pocket Ethernet Parallel Port Card|http://blogs.pfuetzner.de/matthias/?m=200607] . I followed a few steps and got stuck on the pe.bef thing, which I guess is the network card driver, which I do not have. I searched on the internet, but did not succeed in finding one.
    I would appreciate it if you gurus had some advice either on following through that example, or some alternative solution to the problem. Or, if buying a card found in the [hardware compatibility list|http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/sol/components/views/networking_all_results.model.page1.html] would solve the problem, I would buy one. But is the problem due to an unsupported network card, or because of the PC is on a 192.168.0.0 network behind a router?
    Many thanks for your advice!
    Newman

    Hi, Michael, and all who happen to know this:
    I bought a network card (3CSOHO100-TX, the first one in the [HCL as "reported to work"|http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/sol/components/views/networking_reported_to_work.page1.html] ), but this card does not seem to be any better than the other one.
    When running the Configuration Assistant of Solaris 10 3/05, there was not any hint whether the network card was detected. With Solaris 9 9/05, the hardware polling did result in a network card listed among the detected devices. However, in both versions of Solaris, the installation configuration skipped the section for collecting network card configuration information. So I just cut it short and quit the installation when I saw that network part was skipped.
    I already have Solaris 10 3/05 installed with the other card (i.e., without any network card recognized), and wondered if the new card can be detected in the installed unix. I searched in the archive of this forum and [found a link|http://solaris-x86.org/documents/tutorials/network.mhtml] in one of the postings. I followed the steps, but the article seems to be for certified cards only. The 3CSOHO100-TX card is not in the /boot/solaris/devicedb/master file.
    My questions are:
    1. Since Solaris 10 3/05 is already running, are there any commands that can be used to detect the physical card, and then get it configured? I checked Craig Hunt's TCP/IP book (3rd Ed), and tried dmesg | grep eth, netstat -in, and ifconfig -a, to no avail. I also tried prtconf | grep pci, and no clue either.
    2. Since this card is in the HCL list, are there any members on this forum who happen to have some experience with the card and can lend some insight?
    The PC I am using to install the Solaris is a Dell Dimension 4500.
    When the configuration assistant was running there were some messages about resource conflict (two devices using the same interrupt number). I am not good at interpreting the messages, and removed the wireless network card just in case, so there is only one network card in the PC. That did not make it any better either.
    Much appreciation for your help!

  • Linksys router with only a wireless laptop?

    Hi,
    I'm going over to my folks tonight to set up their Linksys wireless router.  They have DSL service and just a wireless enabled laptop.  I understand the router will need to be connected to the laptop for initial setup. Once that setup is complete, will they then be able to disconnect the cable from the router to the laptop and use the laptop throughout their home?  They do not have a desktop pc to permanently plug the router into.  Will this be a problem?
    Thanks for your help,
    Jason

    You should use a wired connection to configure the router initially simply because otherwise you may have difficulties connecting to the correct router wireless in the beginning if other people in the proximity run another Linksys router in default configuration. Thus it is highly recommended to use a wired connection although it is possible to configure the whole router without ever connecting a wired computer to it.
    I think you must use a wired connection if want to use the setup program on the CD. But it is not mandatory to run the setup CD. Sometimes the program will not even be able to successfully configure the router.
    You can always configure the whole router through the web configuration interface at http://192.168.1.1/ Again, for the initial configuration use a wired connection to configure the wireless network and to secure it.
    Regardless how you do the initial setup, after the router works you don't need a desktop connected. You don't even need a computer if you just connect a wireless device like a WLAN VOIP phone or a Tivo or similar.

  • HELP I have a wireless Linksys router WRT54G connected th...

    HELP I have a wireless Linksys router WRT54G connected through my cable company broadband modem on a Mac. I have another computer to which I installed wireless capability because it didn't come with it. This required attching some piece of equipment to the back of the PC which enabled it to get on the internet without another cable modem. My question is this. If I get an iphone or a laptop(with built in wireless ability) will I automatically be able to go on the web because of the router on the Mac.

    yes certainly... if you get any wireless device in network that would certainly connects to a wireless n/w of router...

  • Voip softphone behind a linksys home router - one way voice

    Either a softphone or a 7960 works when connected directly to a users DSL modem, but behind this particular linksys router it results in no inbound voice stream.
    I have to assume that this particular linksys router/fw is firewalling off the returned udp stream. We have tried putting the PC at a fixed address, putting it in the DMZ, as well as setting all udp inbound ports to point to the internal address. Nothing seems to work.
    At other external locations, this setup, without any special stuff works fine. I have come to the conclusion that this is specific to this particular model of router/firewall.
    The device is a Linksys BEFW11S4, not the more common WRT54G series.
    Anyone have any suggestions? My next step is to bring it back to our lab where we can do packet captures.
    Roger

    I have this same Linksys router and it works fine with a SIP based IPT using a 7960 and a softphone. With no modifications to the Linksys whatsoever. I have used the phones with SIP services such as FWD and SIPPhone as well as connecting to my own servers. You just have to use STUN or a SIP outbound proxy server.
    I believe you are correct though and that the DMZ and port forwarding doesn't work on this router at all. I have tried it and nothing works. I believe the OS is faulty. I have tried using a couple of different versions of the firmware and none work.

  • EA6300 - Cascading the Linksys router to another router (LAN-LAN) - Does not Bridge built in Wifi AP

    Regarding: 
    http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=3733#
    Cascading the Linksys router to another router (LAN-LAN)
    The Bridge mode function on the EA6300 does not bridge the Wifi AP radio to the network.
    The ethernet ports are bridged, and the router can see network devices and wifi devices connected to itand ping devices in both directions , but Wifi clients connecting to the unit running in bridge mode are not "bridged" to the network.
    ~
    Using the built in webpage of the router, all devices can be pinged.
    Ethernet RJ-45 devices plugged into it can ping the unit and pull up the units config webpage, but not ping wifi clients connected to it.
    Wfii devices connected to its access point radio, can pull up the units config webpage, but not ping ethernet RJ-45 devices connected to it.
    If there is a bridge, then the bridge is broken in half and not functional.
    ~
    All devices are set with IPs on the same subnet,  192.168.2.x
    ~
    I have a Netgear router in Bridge mode, and it works fine, connecting the wifi access point and RJ-45 ethernet clients together like it should be, so I know how Bridge mode... should work...
    But it doesn't on this unit, it is not working completely out the factory door.   It will bridge one Router to another via the RJ-45 ethernet ports, but its own AP radio is no longer bridged and connected (like when running in NAT
    Note that doing cascading  using NAT as described under "Cascading the Linksys router to another router (LAN-WAN)" works fine.

    Hi, 
    There's no WLAN bridge feature on the new Linksys Smart Wifi routers. You might also like to check and review these articles about Bridge Mode:

    Hi, I have a wireless linksys router model WRT54G. what i want to do it´s configure a network in my home. I have 2 pc´s, a laptop an a desktop. what I should do to be able to share files,music,videos. between both computers? the laptop has Windows Vista, the desktop has Windows XP Professional. could you give me more details? step by step.   thank you really much.

    its really simple to set up a network, first make sure that all computers are in the same workgroup by right clicking on my computer, then properities, then computer name.
    there you can make the setting for the work group
    do not use the default one, create your own, do this for each computer.
    next thing is to choose any folder that you want to share and right click on it, select sharing, then check the two boxes to share this folder and the other one to allow others to make changes to this folder.
    doing this bypasses the trouble od setting up passwords for right now.
    you should not have the network up and running with folders being shared with all in that workgroup.
    you may want to check the manual for vesta as it may do things a bit differant that xp
    you could also run the create a network wizard in the xp system. 

  • Airport Extreme, Linksys Router WRT54G: Internet is Impossibly Slow

    I have a problem regarding wireless internet activity on my Powerbook G4. In my house, I have a Linksys Router (WRT54G) that has worked fine for other laptops (including an iBook running Airport Extreme, a Powerbook G4 running Airport, and an iMac running Airport) for many years. When I got a refurbished Powerbook G4 1.67 GHz with Airport Extreme, I found that while Airport could be configured to recognize the wireless network (with a WEP 40/128-bit encrypted key), it barely works on the computer. The signal strength is strong (the laptop is hooked up right above the Linksys router), but the Internet barely works at all. Surfing to webpages takes 10-20-30 sec to work, and often the connection seems to drop off all together. Something is clearly wrong because despite the fact that this is my fastest computer with the fastest wireless capability, it runs at a slower pace than any computer I have ever used on the web.
    I was wondering if anyone has had similar problems with getting Wireless Extreme on Powerbook G4s to work with this particular (and older) model of Linksys wireless browser (WRT54G). Some Internet sleuthing led me to believe that perhaps the router firmware needs to be updated or something like that, but I haven't really found any definitive answers. If there is anything wrong on the laptop-OS-side, I have no idea. I would appreciate any pointers that you can provide!
    Thank you to all,

    Hi all,
    Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, my problems persist.
    I was able to reset my router and to configure it again on the web-based router configuration.
    As per your suggestion, I tried switching the Wireless Network Mode to "G-only." Not only did this kick off my older computers on the network (an old iMac and an older Powerbook G4, both with normal airport), but it did not fix the speed problems on the new Powerbook G4/with Airport Extreme. I am back on the mixed setting now in order to get most of the computers on the network back to their old working states...
    I also tried disabling my WEP encrypted key but found that this did not speed anything up at all.
    I have upgraded my firmware from its previous version, v 1.41.2 (very old!), to the latest from the Linksys website: v 4.30.5. This has not helped at all either.
    Is it possible that there is any setting on the Powerbook/Airport Extreme itself that is causing these problems?

I would like to make it better in the basement as well.
    In this current set up what could i do to make it better. Since "main" router is not beaming wireless should I add another "third" router?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It should pick the strongest one of either the 2.4Ghz SSID or the 5Ghz SSID but only in the case were both router's have the same SSID for the 2.4Ghz and the same SSID for the 5Ghz. (Remember have separate SSID's for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz signals)
    It can be confusing so here's an example:
    Main router:
    2.4 Ghz SSID: myhouse
    5Ghz SSID: myhouse_5gz
    Linksys router:
    2.4 Ghz SSID: myhouse
    5Ghz SSID: myhouse_5gz
    As a wireless client moves around the location it will switch to the strongest signal for the SSID it last connected to.
