Advice Required TC & Linksys 802.11g Wireless ADSL Gateway

Hi,
I am just about to fork out for a TC but just wanted to check how I would connect the TC to my existing Wireless Router/Access Point. Am I right in thinking that I will need to connect the two via Ethernet if I wish to use the TC to get an internet connection?
I am in the UK by the way. Any help much appreciated

No matter which "side" you put the TC on (connected to the modem or connected to a router) you can still create two separate networks. My linksys router was a N and I left that in place but did hook up the TC via ethernet (they are sitting right next to each other). I did try it wirelessly and didn't have any problems (but I only ran it for a couple of hours before going back to wired).
I left the Linksys connected to the modem because it was easier/faster to create a new network and leave the existing network alone. That way I only had to change the network on a few devices (AppleTV, iMac, one PC) all my other devices that are not N capable are sitting on the original network.

  • New Mac connection to Linksys 802.11g network

    Help...I bought my daughter a 20inch MAC for Christmas and I still haven't been able to connect it to my Wireless network, a Linksys 802.11g basestation. I have even tried to remove all security from the Linksys, but trying to configure the MAC, it always asks for a password to access the wireless network. I don't even know what password is.
    Any help to guide me thru this??

    Hi there,
    Almost all home based wireless services will require both an EESID and WEP KEY. It's a way to have a relatively secure connection to the internet using wireless. The EESID is sometmes known as the Serial Number of the Wireless Router. In fact, your can find the EESID and WEP KEY (aka Password) right on the router itself. Look on your router for these 2 items. You might also have to configure router through the internet to work with your current modem. You Should have gotten insturctions.
    Your iMac will require, in most instances, both the EESID and WEB KEY. If you find the WEB KEY try using that for the password. The password can also be referring to your ISP account password...
    Good luck, Rick

  • Can I use an airport express to extend a Cisco E4200 802.11n or 802.11g wireless network?

    Can I use an Airport Express to extend a Cisco E4200 802.11n or 802.11g wireless network?  I'd like to improve access in a dead spot with an airport express. I know I can connect this wayt for airplay, but how about extending the signal?
    Thx! ACB

    Apple's "extend a wireless network" function appears to be a proprietary feature that works only with other Apple AirPort routers. As far as we know, this feature is not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.
    It would be extremely unlikely that the Express could do what you want, but some things are never known until  you try.

  • Netgear WG311v3 802.11g Wireless PCI Adapter

    I have a G5 Tower with PCI slots.
    Is there a way to make this wireless card recognized as an AirPort card under OS 10.5.8?
    Currently, it does not even show up System Profiler.

    Just google "Netgear WG311v3 802.11g Wireless PCI Adapter". Apparently it supports Windows OS's. You can also inquire from the manufacturer.

  • Will 2800-400 BIOS update enable 802.11g wireless LAN?

    I recently bought a Belkin 54G cardbus wireless adapter for use with my Satellite 2800-400, which has a Windows ME OS.
    The setup software wouldn't install a driver, even though ME was said to be supported.
    I wrote to Belkin and they told me that it was because the laptop BIOS didn't support 802.11g wireless and that I should update the BIOS. I updated to BIOS version 2 but it didn't make any difference.
    I don't know if Belkin's instructions were on the right track or whether they were they just pushing the responsibility as far away from themselves as they could.
    Please can anyone tell me if my laptop does support 802.11g wireless, with or without the BIOS upgrade?
    TIA

    Thanks for the reply. the notebook does support wireless LAN because I can get a 802.11b card to function OK.
    > But as far as I know its not

    Well it's done now so there may be other benefits. Not 802.11g wireless though it seems.

    Thanks I'll try to find and contact a service partner.

  • Using a Linksys 802.11g over airport

    Simple question, I have plugged in my Linksys hub for wireless internet. However, my internet signal still runs over airport, not my hub. How do I switch my signal from airport to the 802.11g hub?
    TIA

    So, if I understand you correctly, you're current network configuration is:
    Cable/DSL modem > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] AX > (wireless) > wireless computers,
    and you want it to be:
    Cable/DSL modem > (Ethernet cable) > [Internet port] Linksys > (wireless) > wireless computers...correct?

  • Airport dual enet snow and usb 802.11g wireless usb adapter

    Can I use a wireless 802.11g adapter with my imac (iLamp)to connect to my snow base station, or bo I need ans xxx.11g /b adapter?

    Sorry - I missed that from the title of your message.
    The answer to that question is no - an exclusively 802.11g USB wireless adapter will not be able to connect to a Snow Base Station. I'd be surprised if this was ever an issue - I don't know of any exclusively 802.11g USB wireless adapters that work with Macs.
    I suggest you avoid use of USB wireless adapters with Macs. Yes some people have used them successfully, but still more people have nothing but grief with these devices. Very, very few USB wireless adapters have any MacOS driver support in the first place.

  • Deskjet 460 802.11g wireless setup on Win7

    {Personal Information Removed}
    There has to be someone in HP who can explain clearly how to set up a Deskjet 460 with 802.11g card in "infrastructure" mode on a router, using Win7. Surely!
    The 460 was not fully supported on Win7, but Win7 has a driver which works with a USB cable. The challenge is how you get an infrastructure network profile into the 802.11g card when the tools on the Starter CD are XP-only - actually, even if they were to work on Win7, they have disappeared from the HP website, so you cannot download them.
    Looking at a previous thread (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Issues-with-DeskJet-460-WiFi-and-Windo...), lots of folks are as frustrated as I am, but nobody has so far answered the key question.
    Before dumping XP I created a network profile on a USB stick, using the Starter CD - this was an xml file in a folder named SMRTNTKY. It was supposed to allow me to replicate the settings on other printers (or on mine if I lost the settings). Now, it is not recognised by the printer, but I have no idea why. I have cleared the profile, inserted the USB stick, powered off and on, with no change - the printout still shows the network profile as ad hoc / hpsetup.
    I and others need a clearly documented process for creating an infrastructure network profile and for getting it into the printer, so we can use the device with Win7. If this needs software, we need that software to be available for download from the HP website, ideally via links from the reply (since the website is a bit of a mess to navigate. Please help.

    Hi,
    Assuming you have WiFi connectivity on your laptop, try setting a temporary ad hoc connection and then use the EWS to connect the printer to your router as a workaround, such a software is not available for Windows 7:
    Follow these steps to install the product on the network with the Windows 7 printer driver.
    Turn the product on.
    Insert the wireless printer card into the printer.
    Reset the wireless network settings on the product:
    Reset all of the 802.11 wireless profiles: Press and hold the Power button ( ), press the Cancel ( ) button two times, and then press the Resume button ( ) eight times. Release all buttons.
    Click the Wireless icon on your system traym then connect to the HPSETUP netowrk.
    Wait two minutes for the printer to obtain an IP Address, and then print a wireless configuration page:
    Make sure the product is on and idle.
    Press and hold the Cancel button ( ) for more than two seconds. A wireless configuration page prints.
    Locate the IP address / URL printed on this page, type it into your web browser to access its EWS page.
    Open the Network / Wireless tab, click the Wireless option or the Wireless Setup Wizard and follow the steps  to connect the pritner to your router.
    Press and hold the Cancel button ( ) for more than two seconds. A wireless configuration page prints. note the listed IP.
    Right click the USB printer icon within Devices and printers, select Printer Properties. Within the Ports tab create a new Standard TCP/IP port and type the listed IP for this port.
    Hope that help, I cannot guide you further within the EWS as I do not have the exact device but you should locate it within the networking area of the EWS

  • Belkin 802.11g wireless USB2.0 with Snow White G3 - A question...

    Will the Belkin 802.11g work with an iBook model M6497 snow white iBook running OSX 1.2? I have been hunting around the forums and net trying to find out if it would work and can't find out if it would work or not. We are on a tight budget and can't afford the current prices for the original airport card.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Rich and Lily in Philly
    G3 iBook Model M6497   Mac OS X (10.2.x)   Burnt out Ethernet card, tight budget - any help would be great.

    Looking at the accessories for Mac portables, there is no USB adapter compatible (most likely due to there being no Mac driver). The Ethernet bridge seems like the only option, though it's out of stock at the moment, but seeing that you have a non-functioning Ethernet port, I guess that'd not work very well.

  • HP jetdirect ew2400 802.11g Wireless Print Server

    I have a network setup where there is a PC desktop and a couple of
    laptops (one Macbook Pro and the other a PC) which are respectively connected to a Linksys wireless router by wire and wirelessly. There is also an HP All-In-One 6110 thrown
    into this mix, which is currently hard-wired via USB to the desktop. I
    want to make the AIO networkable, both wirelessly and wired. I did
    some research and came across this JetDirect product from HP.
    I have a question about this particular product. It mentions in the
    literature that this product will either work wirelessly or wired. No
    where does it mention that it will do both at the same time. I am
    familiar with wireless routers which allow both wired and wireless
    connections. Would the same not be true for the print server?

    Henry G4 makes some good points.
    I am not sure I understand why you want to use both wireless and ethernet at the same time. In both cases it would be on the same local network, right? The only situation I can think of using both wired and wireless is if you have two separate networks and you're trying to share it on each.
    So, I add this: whether the printer were wired or wireless, it would be accessible to all computers in the same local network.
    Here is your real problem - drivers. Unless you have read something elsewhere, the OS X print driver HP provided for your AIO only works for direct USB connection. Not even with an HP Jetdirect. (not sure about scanning driver) read here:
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&task Id=120&prodSeriesId=408888&prodTypeId=18972&objectID=c00218889
    It will be cheaper to try sharing as Henry suggests. You will need the hpijs driver set:
    http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs
    PS - I know this is hard for Windows converts to get their arms around, because on Windows, a driver is a driver. But on OS X, we're not there yet - there are two kinds of print drivers.
    PS#2 - This product "might" work for your printer (I don't have one). It has software on the mac & PCs to make USB devices appear to be at the computer:

  • Recent News on How to upgrade the 802.11g Wireless Card to a 802.11n Card

    Hi everyone!
    I have a macbook Core Duo (not core 2 duo) and I want to buy the new airport express. I was really upset to see that I will not gete the performance upgrade of the n technology on my new computer. Finnaly I saw this post on AppleInsider
    http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=2510
    It says that you can replace the wireless card in the Macbook with a card from the Mac Pro (the same size and same amount of antenas) and the n technology would work (and increase speed and performance).
    Here is how to do it:
    http://www.hardmac.com/articles/71/
    Has anyone done this yet? Does it work? Is there a violation of Applecare by doing this? Where would you get a n airport card for the MacPro?
    Any ideas on this subject would be great!
    If it is true and leagl, then I would be very happy.

  • 802.11g on a Firewire G3

    My router handles 11g. What do I need to use 11g on my Powerbook?

    The only option if you have an old PB to upgrade to 802.11g is to purchase an PCMCIA 802.11g card. Or you could use a 802.11g wireless bridge (but this is not very portable, but can be a solution for an old iMac).
    You want a third party WLAN Cardbus cards based on the same Broadcomm chipset that Apple used in the Airport Extreme which will work in a Mac running OS X 10.2.6 or later and Airport 3.1 or later.
    Companies using the Broadcomm chipset include: Linksys, Buffalo Technology, Belkin.
    Not all cards though do work.
    Another option is to use an Atheros card with the Orangeware driver.
    The other thing to consider is that do you really really need the extra speed of 802.11g. The only real benefit is if you are transferring really really large files in an internal network (eg video files) and has no "real" impact on wireless internet access (as 11Mbps is generally a lot faster than your average 512Kbps ADSL speed).

  • Netgear DG834G V2 WIRELESS ADSL Router/newbie

    Hello Everyone,
    I have just signed up to eclipse to get broadband.
    I have wanted to go wireless so I picked the
    Netgear DG834G V2 WIRELESS ADSL Router
    This needs to work with Both my PC (Medion/Intel Pentium 4E, 3200 MHz)
    and my Mac (G4 400Mhz OSX) (at the moment they are connected by an ethernet lead).
    Not knowing that Netgear Router doesnt support
    Mac wirelessly but for the pc you can use
    Netgear 802.11G WIRELESS USB Adapter – WG111
    So my problem is what can I use with this
    router so I can use it wirelessly with my Mac
    At the netgear forums I was told I would have to get
    a network adapter is this correct?
    please help...

    As Donald said, an AirPort Extreme card will not work in your G4 400 MHz.
    If your G4 400 MHz is a very early model based on the Yikes! architecture, it does not have any internal slot.
    If your G4 400 MHz is based on the Sawtooth architecture, it has a slot for the original AirPort card.
    You can use the information in KB 58418, Power Mac G4: How to Differentiate Between Models to determine which Power Mac G4 you have.
    If your Power Mac G4 doesn't have an internal slot or if you can't get an original AirPort card, I would suggest either a Mac compatible PCI wireless card or an Ethernet wireless adapter. The Ethernet wireless adapter does not require any drivers and therefore will work with any Ethernet device regardless of OS.
    Unlike Donald I do not recommend any USB wireless adapters. These require drivers that must match the version of Mac OS that you are using. Frequently these drivers are incompatible with OS X and other software installed on the Mac. Many people have tried them and given up.

  • How can I make by MB Pro work on 802.11n wireless?

    A month ago we bought a new MacBook and in conjunction with that purchase we upgraded from a Linksys 802.11g to the AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi Wireless Base Station. We wanted to have the 802.11n access for the new MacBook and for our other laptop (mine) - a MacBook Pro 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo 15" purchased in March 2006.
    I just figured there would be some downloadable upgrade to take my MacBook Pro from 802.11g to 802.11n ... but that does not appear to be the case. (Boy, do I feel stupid.)
    So - the question: What do i need to do to get my MacBook Pro to work fully on the 802.11n standard? Do I need something new physically installed in the laptop? Is there a downloadable upgrade or something on the CD that came with the Airport Extreme unit that I can install? Help!
    I really hope I didn't buy a $200 router that I can never fully utilize - there has to be some way to upgrade from a/b/g to a/b/g/n, right?
    Thanks to any and all who can provide guidance on this.
    MacBook Pro 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   puchased in March 2006

    Thanks for the tip on the upgrade. I upgraded to Airport Utility 5.1 (I had 5.0) and then did the firmware upgrade at the link you provided. So, all is installed, and I restarted the MB Pro, but my Network Utility still shows that I have only 802.11 a/b/g capability.
    Do I need to take other steps? Do I need to anything like turn my cable modem or Airport Extreme unit on or off or something like that?
    I am really frustrated and confused on this. Is it possible that my MB Pro that is all of 15 months old can't upgrade to 802.11n? I know that the new Inel Core 2 Duo MB Pros have the 802.11n built in. My MB Pro is the older Intel Core Duo (not "Core 2 Duo").
    Anyone else have ideas? Thanks!

  • Does Linksys Make a Wireless-N Cable Modem/Router Combo

    Does Linksys make a wireless-n gateway router, a combination router and cable modem?
    I currently have the combo device for wireless-g but want to upgrade to wireless-n.
    Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I think at the moment Linksys does not sell 802.11n gateways.
    I generally recommend not to get combo devices but better get two separate devices, one simple modem and a wireless router.
    1. You have a far larger product choice for the router and they are usually cheaper.
    2. If the router dies you can still have internet through the modem directly. If the combo device dies you are offline.
    3. Less functions in a device makes simpler design and in average more stable and reliable devices.
    4. You can replace either device at any point. For instance, if you switch from cable to DSL or FTTH you can simple replace the modem. You may have to change the internet connection setting on the router but other then that you can keep the router. Likewise, if in two years from now you want to get the next-generation wireless router you can keep using your modem (if it is still fit for your internet speed)
    Just some to think about...
