7500 Westell Router Used as Bridge with Linksys wrt320N

When I turn on the 7500 Router, the "Internet" light comes on and then I am unable to access the internet. I turn the router off and on again and this internet light does not come.Then I am able to access the internet.
Why does this occur and how can I fix this?

when the router is bridged, you should not see the internet light on it.  the internet light reflects if the westell succesfully made a dhcp or pppoe connection.

  • Using WPA/TKIP with Linksys WRT54G

    I cannot connect my R61i using WPA...it gets through everything except the last step, "waiting for IP configuration". 
    I can connect my older laptop to the same router using the same security, the Lenovo just doesn't work.  I downloaded everything I could find remotely associated with this from the Lenovo page.
    Does this Lenovo not operate under WPA/TKP or am I doing something dumb???
    Any help would be appreciated.
    thanks, donnyboy

    assuming that the WRT54G and Intel WiFi adapter have been updated with the latest firmware and driver, respectively... i would then configure both the WRT54G and TPR61i for WPA2 Personal + AES encryption (but disable TKIP).  and as carbon_unit advised, uninstall thinkvantage access connections, as TVAC is not necessary, and can conflict with Windows' native ability to manage the connections, ime.
    i've found that installing Intel ProSet for WiFi (which also includes the wireless adapter drivers), can be helpful; it provides a few more options to fine tune the wireless adapter settings.
    and beyond the scope of your question... you might also take a look at 3rd party router firmware, like Tomato or DD-WRT, both of which provide more robust & reliable performance than linksys' stock firmware.  it's a straightforward procedure, but be careful to choose the correct firmware for your particular WRT54G (version).
    for optimal performance & reliablity, i'd also configure the router and wireless clients for 802.11g only (disable 802.11a/b)

  • Are there advantages to using Adobe Bridge with Premiere Pro?

    I frequently use pictures with my videos.  Normally, I use Windows Explorer with the picture viewer to browse for what I'd like to use.  I've experimented with Bridge, finding it to be a memory hog and slow.  It got me wondering - Are there advantages vs. Windows Explorer?

    Bridge can be used to easily add hierarchical keywords to large amounts of clips (and afaik it's the only tool in the Adobe suit that can do hierarchical keywording with video files). Those keywords can then be used to find clips inside of Premiere. On large projects (1000+ clips) that can be a life saver.
    Apart from this and the features you mentioned (the cross software color stuff is useless for video as of CS6), I did not find any use to Bridge for video. Plus as you said, it is a memory hog, slow and in my own experience unstable with /  not adapted to video.

  • Using Messaging  Bridge with Distributed Destinations

    I'm having some problems using Distributed Destinations with the Messaging Bridge in WLS 7.0sp2. Our configuration consists of the following:
              * WLS Server1:
              * JMS Server1:
              * inbound queue
              * outbound queue
              * JMS Server2:
              * inbound queue
              * outbound queue
              * WLS Server 2:
              * JMS Server3:
              * inbound queue
              * outbound queue
              A distributed destination is configured for the inbound and outbound queues.
              Two messaging queues are configured so that bridge from WLS JMS to Tibco JMS using the distributed destinations.
              Everything is working fine for the inbound, but we have found that the outbound messaging bridge is picking up messages from only one of the two JMS servers on the first WLS instance. When monitoring, it can be seen that there is no consumer registered against the second JMS server.
              Any suggestions?
              

    Hi Rob,
              Consumers on distributed destinations are always pinned
              to a single physical destination on creation. Only
              producers can round-robin each message. When a
              distributed destination is used as a source destination,
              you will need to configure a bridge per distributed
              destination. Alternatively, you can enable
              forwarding between the physical queues, which automatically
              forwards messages from physical queues with
              no consumers to physical queues that have consumers
              (but the extra hop impacts performance). For more information,
              consult the JMS documentation.

  • When I use Adobe Bridge with PSE 8 is asks for my serial

    I just launched Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac and chose to use Adobe Bridge to find images. Adobe Bridge opened and I found the image I wanted but when I double-clicked on the image a Photoshop Set-up dialogue box appears asking for my serial. So, I found my serial in my email because I bought the digital download and it says my serial is wrong. The weird thing is is that PSE is running and works fine. So why is Adobe Bridge asking me for my serial and rejecting it?
    thanks
    Jerry

    Subversion is a program/system that stores files on a server, does versioning, etc. We use it principally for code management but also for our image files. It integrates into Windows explorer so you can check-in/check-out files, etc.
    I was just wondering if there was a way to use Adobe Bridge as the front-end for it somehow.

  • Re: Lorex Security Camera with Linksys WRT320n Setup Help

    I setup a Lorex security camera system that allows for to view them via remote acces.  I am able to view them through the local network but not via outside network connection.  I believe lies within the network settings that i have in place.  I have tried to apply the port forwarding settings but still not able to.  If someone has this type of system setup or know where to point me I would appreciate the help.  The default web port is 80 and the TCP port 6100. 

    1)  I assume that you have set your security camera to a fixed (static) LAN IP address  -- is this correct?
    2)  And that you are forwarding the appropriate port to that address   --  is that correct?
    Rules for using fixed LAN IP addresses on Linksys routers:
    With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the computer , printer, or camera, not in the router.  This is the best way to assign a fixed LAN IP address.   In your WRT320N, there is an alternative method  --- you could use the "DHCP reservation" method to assign your camera the same fixed LAN IP address each time you boot up your network.
    When using a Linksys router, normally, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.  However, if you are using "DHCP reservation" your camera's address should be within the DHCP server range.
    Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would normally need to be in the range of
    192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
    192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
    assuming you are still using the default DHCP server range.
    Also, in the computer, when you set up a static LAN IP address, you would need to set the "Subnet mask" to 255.255.255.0 and the "Default Gateway" to 192.168.1.1 and "DNS server" to 192.168.1.1
    It is also important that no two devices on your network be set to the same static LAN IP address.
    Also note that many cameras cannot use the proxy DNS server located at 192.168.1.1 .  In this case, enter your true Internet DNS server address (found in the router)  into you camera.

  • Using Airport Extreme with Linksys Router/Modem

    I was just told that my Mac mini is excruiatingly slow on the internet because I am using a Linksys router with Xfinity and that Airport Extreme will be much faster.  And that I should plug Airport Extreme into the modem.  When I checked, I don't have a separate modem.  My Linksys is a combined router/modem.    What should I do?  Do I plug the Airport Extreme into the Linksys box, or do I get a completely different modem that is only a modem?  And, if I plug Airport Extreme into the Linksys box, how do I configure the network for Airport Extreme, and what else do I need to do?   All help greatlly appreciated...I can barely get onto the Apple website!

    When I signed up with Xfinity one of the stipulations was that they would not install a router/modem but only a modem. I had heard of problems with their router/modem and I didn't want to go down that path.
    I don't but you mighht be able to get them to change out your router/modem for a modem. I would start there by asking them.

  • Using Adobe Bridge with Photoshop Elements

    I have an iMAC with iLife 08.
    I take photos in RAW format with a Nikon camera.
    I have been editing photos this way:
    After uploading photos to iPhoto, export them as jpg to a new folder on the desktop, external HD or wherever. I open Photoshop Elements, edit the exported photo.
    Then I'm stuck with my edits outside of iPhoto, unless I then import them back into iPhoto. It works, but it's cumbersome.
    Today I thought I'd try a different route. I opened Photoshop Elements, and tried to use Bridge to browse photos. I can find the iPhoto library easy enough, but if I click on it, it opens iPhoto, and I'm stuck - can't open the photos in Photoshop.
    I am hoping that if I do it correctly, I can save my edits directly back into iPhoto.
    Any ideas?

    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Bridge with Linksys

    Im looking to buy the Airport Extreme. Im told it can bridge to another wireless router/Access Point.
    In my basement I have a cable modem connected to a Linksys WRT300N. But it will not reach my whole house, so I need to add another Access point. Due to the nature of the basement running CAT5e is not practical.
    So Can I bridge the Airport Extreme to the WRT300N? I know you can do it with the Airport Extreme and Airport Express, but I would rather keep the Linksys and not have to buy two routers.

    The Linksys has some Nice QoS features I want to keep but since it not going to support WDS, I will look into finding a way to run the ethernet cable for the extreme.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Using Time Capsule with Linksys WPS54GU2 print server

    Just curious if anyone else has had issues with using the Time Capsule with the above print server. I have been pulling my hair out trying to get this to work with WEP encryption turned on (WEP or no encryption is all the Linksys supports). Before I upgraded to the Time Capsule, I was using a 40-bit encryption key and everything was fine. It appears that you can only use 128-bit encryption on WEP with the Time Capsule, so I had to change keys. I haven't been able to ping the print server unless it's wired or encryption is turned off.
    On top of this, I've also tried to run the old router with 128-bit WEP using the same key, and that doesn't work either, so it would seem to point to the print server as the culprit. I'm running the latest firmware on both devices.

    Did you ever get this to work? I've got a similar Print Server and its WPS54G. PS was working wireless and now after adding the Time Capsule it no longer does.

  • IPhoto: Using Adobe Bridge

    I am presently using both iPhoto and FCPX. I only use iPhoto store the photos and images I use in albums. If I need to modify them I take them into Photoshop and then save them backin iPhoto. However, I now have about 5,000 images and feel a need to be able to sort them further and do more global commands on them (such as resize). For this, I really miss using Adobe Bridge. Is there a way to use Adobe Bridge with iPhoto?

    Thank you. I am beginning to think I need to investigate exactly what and how much iPhoto really does. I didn't know it was this powerful. I will go to the link you gave me.
    I think I am feeling overwhelmed with so many images because I need to find a good way to organize them via keyword (which I know iPhoto does - I just don't know how to select by keyword "yet").
    I did like the capability in Bridge of selecting a lot of photos together and resizing them to all the same size in one command (via Photoshop).
    I really do need a powerful photo manager so I need to understand how much iPhoto can do for me. I see I also have a lot of duplicates now so my initial idea of sorting by photo album name was not a good idea. I need to use keywords instead.
    If iPhoto doesn't allow me to resize a batch of photos in one command, for the few times I need to do it, I can always export them into a folder and then do it in Photoshop because I would want to retain the photo in its original size anyway.
    Now to the link you gave me . . .

  • Blackberry Bridge with Proxy

    Hi,
    I'm using Blackberry Bridge with my Playbook and it works great for email when it's not connected to the Wifi, but when I connect to the corporate Wifi (which uses a proxy) the Bridge tries to use the Wifi for the Messaging (and other) applications. This causes problems as when you try to run the Messaging application you recieve a message similar to this from the corporate proxy server:
    Access Denied to http://127.0.0.2:187/messages
    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this? It would be nice if the bridge knew to always use the Bluetooth not the Wifi, or if there was an option in the Proxy settings to list exclusions from the proxy.
    Thanks,
    John

    Yep, exact same issue here.  I haven't found a work around for this as of yet, I'm also interested if anyone has a solution?
    For now, I've been unchecking the 'use HTTP proxy' in wifi setup so I can at least bridge with my BB for mail/calendar and the have limited ability to use the browser to navigate to company internal sites etc (that do not require proxy credential auth).  If I need to access the 'outside' with the PB browser, I've been manually editing the proxy server info on the PB.  (which subsequently kills the ability to send/rec mail etc)  Ugh...
    This is definitely not ideal, I'm hoping this is addressed/resolved in upcoming updates.  (preferably proxy auto-detect, but bridge simply ignoring the proxy settings would do the trick)

  • Is it ok to use Westell 6100F in non-bridged mode with Linksys router?

    I'm a new Verizon DSL customer.
    After several attempts I was only able to connect my Verizon 6100F modem with my Linksys wired router in non-bridged mode.  I just changed the IP address in my router, and then released and renewed.  I did this just yesterday and the connection is fine...so far.
    Fyi, I'm using the Linksys for its firewall.  I don't need wireless.
    Since I didn't bridge the modem, I assume I'm basically using two routers, the 6100F and the Linksys.  Will this cause me issues in the future?
    I need to decide whether to try again to bridge the modem or just leave it alone.
    Thanks.
