Airlink101 and Linksys WRT54g

Because of a time clock change, I now have to use an Airlink101 AR504 Router off of my DSL instead of the WRT54g that i've been using for months. Is there any way to cascade the WRT54G off of the AR504 so that i can still have teh wireless network with internet?
Thanks in advance

You can follow this link , though the link gives you steps on connecting two linksys routers you can still follow the link...
However port forwarding is not used in this case...

PS3 and linksys WRT54G. found a fix!!! please look

http://vibrantreality.wordpress.com/2007/10/27/ps3-and-linksys-wrt54g-the-solution/ not sure if it has been posted but it works!!! enjoy

Let me review my setup. I have a WRT54g Version2 Linksys Router. The Router firmware has been updated. I have two computers wired to the router and they work fine. I have a Linksys Media Center and a Laptop that work in a wireless environment and they work fine. The ISP is Comcast.
The PS3 is wired through a Linksys switch to the same Router. The switch is a Linksys Etherfast 10/100 8-Port Workgroup Switch EZXS88W ver 3.1. On the PS3 I have tried all the combinations of DNS that I can identify. The setting for MTU is at 1492 which matches the status shown on the Router screen. I have tried UpNp in both the Disabled and Enabled modes. I am currently using the DNS's that appear on the Status page of the Router.
On the Router I have set the IP address for the PS3 up as a static address in the DMZ as 192.168.1.2 UpNp is currently disabled. I have assigned ports to the static IP in the Gaming screen and enabled them..I have entered the DNS's numbers from the Status page on the Setup page for the Router as static IP DNS's.
If I connect the Laptop to the same wire that the PS3 is currently connected to, the laptop comes up fine on the Internet. The PS3 finds the IP address but continually gives me the DNS failed (80710102) error message. This is also true if I run the PS3 in a wireless environment.
Your assistance is greaty appreciated.

Successful DSL Setup With Westell 6100G and Linksys WRT54G Router

After a week of searching I finally figured out how to get DSL setup with my Linksys router.
All I could get out of the Westell > Linksys router configuration was DSL downloads limited to less than 0.2 Mbps.   No matter what I did on the router settings that was it.    I had a second eHome router that easily configured and achieved the 1.0 Mbps download speeds so that confirmed Verizon and the Westell modem were not the issue.
So what's wrong with the Linksys router configuration?    I had the Linksys WRT54G router Version 5.   Checking the firmware it was the original release of 1.0.0.   (See your routers instructions which can be downloaded from Linksys for how to check your firmware).   I downloaded the latest firmware version for this router model and version number.    Following the Linksys instructions I flashed the latest firmware 1.02.8.   Now I had an updated modem ready to be configured for DSL.
Assuming you already followed Verizons instructions to set the Westell modem to bridge mode setup your router to work with it.
Step 1: Go into the modem typing its address... Default 192.168.1.1   leave the ID blank and the default password is admin.
Step 2: Go to the Basic > Setup screen.
Step 3: Select PPPoE and the screen menus will change
Step 4: Enter your Verizon ID (exclude @Verizon.net)
Step 5: Enter your Verizon Password.
Step 6: Go to the bottom of the screen and hit Save.   Wait and the router will indicate it was saved.
That's it.  All you need are the three entries above to get it working. Turn off the PC, Router and Westell.   Turn on the Westell, then the router and then boot the PC.   It should work at this point.    I now get the full DSL speed for both downloads and uploads.
The bottom line....check you router, especially the older models for updated firmware before you give up on it.

Glad top see you found a configuration for your Westell and Linksys to function. Thanks for posting resolution.

Airport Extreme and Linksys WRT54G v8 set up in WDS mode not working

Hi, I am trying to set up my Linksys WRT54g v8 router with DD-WRT v8.0.0.6 firmware as a WDS remote to my Airport Extreme Base Station set up as the WDS main, with WPA2 personal encryption, and it appears that they are talking to one another, but when I plug in a mac with ethernet to the Linksys, I can hit the linksys router to program it but it won't go out to the internet and gets a self-assigned IP.

Welcome to the discussions!
Duane posted a list of known WDS compatible devices about 6 weeks ago and the Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS were shown as compatible, but not v5. Your post indicates that you have v8, so this may not be possible.

My New MacBook and Linksys WRT54G v3

*So, I purchased a brand new MacBook from the Apple Store today. I took it home thinking it would connect right to my existing home network and I'd be in business in no time. After all, I was replacing an old PC and had a major project to complete toward my MBA. Needless to say, I wouldn't be losing sleep and posting here if everything had gone according to plan.*
*Here's the deal:*
My integrated AirPort Extreme Wireless (802.11n) connects to my router, but doesn't hold the connection. I load a web page for a few seconds, and then the connection is useless. The signal strength, even though I'm right in front of the antenna, appears weaker than when I connect to another network in the area.
*Here's what I've done:*
- All updates for my MacBook have been downloaded and installed; OS X 10.5.5 is running
- Linksys firmware has been updated to the latest version 4.21.1
- Reset my modem and router numerous times
- Contacted the useless chat support on linksys.com
*Here's what I've learned:*
- I can connect to other networks without issue.
- My router works fine with the integrated ethernet port (I didn't buy a notebook to be tied to a
cable, did I?)
- Buying a $249 protection plan that doesn't let you call them after 6:00 Pacific makes that plan
pretty much useless
I'm hoping someone can help me. I really don't want to be stuck to a cable or stealing someone else's connection when I'm paying for my own. I've read lots of different posts on this, and it seems I'm certainly not alone. I didn't anticipate any problems since my ex-fiancee (yeah, I know) bought a new MacBook less than a year ago and it worked flawlessly with the WRT54G... in fact, its setup was impressive and much, much easier than getting it going with my Dell+Linksys PC card.

My suggestion:
4.21.1 firmware is not flawless, I've seen it do some pretty flaky things. But you might try this:
1. Reset the Wireless Security on your 54G, set it to WPA2 Personal, then input exactly a 10 character password. If the password you are using isn't 10 characters long, input something on the end of it to make it 10 in length like 1234 etc.
2. Go into the 54G Advanced Wireless settings, look for Beacon Interval, change it from 100ms to like 15 ms (think the range is 1 to 255 or something).
3. Change the packet threshold from 2346 to 2306.
4. Change the other packet threshold from 2347 to 2307.
5. And shorten the Beacon interval from default 100.
6. Hit save on the linksys and let it reboot. Sometimes you may need to disconnect power from the 54G so it reboots correctly (flashing power LED means it didn't boot correctly, it should be solid).
7. Check the wireless channel in use, try using a different channel, try 3 or 7 or 11 if it is on 6. If you know there are other routers in your area, change the name of your router from default linksys to 'private' or something else.
When you set up your macbook airport, get really close to the router within a few feet would be good. If you renamed your router's SSID to private, input the network name in Airport settings, and be sure to add that network to your preferred network list (under Network, Advanced, Airport, add your network to the list and it will prompt you for the password, input it twice if it asks, that only means it is adding it to keychain access.app.
One other thing you can check, under System Preferences, select Energy Saver, select Options, check the box for "Wake for Ethernet Administrator Access", enabling this will keep it from putting the Airport card to sleep to save energy.
Once you establish a connection with the Linksys remain close and surf the net to test it out, then move away from the router to where you lose the connection, if that happens, check your system.log. To do that,
1. Click on the Apple icon, click on "About this Mac",
2. Click More Info, select Software on left panel, click on Logs, click on system.log in upper right,
3. Scroll down to the very end of the log, it should report the error seen by airport. If it displays airport: MAC Auth succeeded, that means it authenticated with the linksys. Trying a different channel on the router sometimes helps with connection.

Bellsouth and Linksys WRT54G Router

Hey,
I am able to connect to the internet through my modem and can connect to my router from my computer but when I hook the modem up to the router I am unable to get to the internet. I have done all the steps from Linksys and still no results. Does anyone know the exact settings that the router needs in order to get it to work?i.e Do I need a domain name or anything like that? Any help is apprecitated.
Thanks

There are a few settings you need to understand about having the router connect to Internet through the DSL modem. The router has to first establish connectivity with your DSL service by logging on. This is accomplished via the following settings.
1. Login Type should be set to: PPPoE
2. The username/password for your DSL service, must be entered into the router. This is the same uname/pwd that you use when you connect the PC to Internet thru the DSL modem. It should be something like (xxxxxxx)@bellsouth.net for username and then the password.
3. With Bellsouth there is no need for Host name or Domain name. You can give the router a unique name per your preference.
And finally, In order for your PC to now communicate with Internet via the router, You must setup the router as the DHCP server.
4. Set the router for DHCP server (enable). The router will become the defacto IP address provider on your network and will isolate you from the direct connection that the DSL modem normally provided.
With these settings your router should log into your DSL service thru the modem and you should be up and running.

Huawei MT882 and linksys WRT54G V2

Hi!
Since a month ago I have a Huawei modem MT882.
Since then I had to upload the firmware for two times, the router always stops working, i.e., I can't connect to the internet.
Does any one know if there are any incompatibilities between the linksys router and the Huawei modem?
My router firmware is the last available (v4.21.1)

Hi,
My ISP is CLIX from Portugal.
This router has already some years and it worked fine for about 3 years. But in the last year I changed for a ADSL ISP and it was when the problems started. After chatting with Linksys experts we got the right configuration and it was working fine. However I had a lot of problems with the ISP provider and I changed again. One more time the router started to loose the internet connection.
I tried a lot of configurations but doesn't matter what I do, it just restarts working fine when I program the firmware again.
Thanks and Regards

Droid X WiFi and Linksys Wrt54G

Hi,
I just got the DX yesterday and it recognizes my home network. However it does not obtain an IP address. I checked the wifi capability on unsecured networks and it works fine. ANy ideas on why the dx and my router aren't talking to each other.
Thanks,
Chris

Maybe try going into your MANAGE NETWORKS and select your connection, then click on "FORGET" so that it is removed. (I'd also "FORGET" any other ones that are in your list, just to get a clean start. Then re-add it, including the Key .... Also, make sure you'redoing this in close proximity to the Router just to make sure you're getting a solid and strong WiFi signal. Just a thought. If after re-entering your KEY and it still doesn't Acquire, I'd definitely start looking at the Router configuration.

I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work?

I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work? And one more thing about the setup, the linksys router shich acts as a base is in a different room as the airport express which i wanted to use for airplay. So I'm hoping to hook up the Airport express via wireless signal. If i can set it up, can someone pls help me out by posting detailed instructions. Thanks so much!

The first message that AirPort Utility will display during the auto setup will be that the Express will be confgured to "extend" the network. When AirPort Utility analyzes the network further, and sees that the Express cannot "extend" the 3rd party network, the next message will indicate that the Express is being configured to "join" the wireless network.
Once the Express is configured, if you later go into AirPort Utility to check the settings under the Wireless tab, you will see that the Wireless Mode is indeed "Join a wireless network".

Can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 Wireless Printer with the AirPort Extreme Base. The printer is NOT connected at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, and is placed in another room. It worked just fine with my previous router (Linksys WRT54G). Help me!

Hey Guys!
I just got my AirPort Extreme Base, but I can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 wireless printer with it.
The printer is not connected to the AirPort Extreme's USB port. It is placed in another room, and I'd like to use it (the printer) wirelessly (not connected to the USB port os the AirPort Extreme), as I used to. There is no place for the printer close the AirPort Extreme. It worked just fine with my previous wireless router (Linksys WRT54G). I'm very disappointed with the AirPort Extreme Base Station because of that!...
Can you help me? Please?!
Thanks Folks!

This must be a tough one, no suggestions at all.

Linksys WRT54GS and AX WDS with WPA

I have researched everything in these forums and I thank all for their hard work. Am I to conclude that if I want to use the AX as a bridge (WDS) that I can only use WEP encryption? I tried following the instructions with WPA and when I plug the AX back in, after the cycle time it goes green for about 5-7 seconds then starts to flash yellow. What are my options?
If I by the new Airport 802.11n will it help? I know I won't be able to access the n speed since I am only core duo and not core2 Duo but I really want to make this bridge happen on a secure network. Any other options? I am trying to provide secure internet access for my home entertainment system (Kenwood) over a wireless network since there is no RJ45 plug nearby.
Intel iMac 20" and MacBook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.4.8) Linksys WRT54GS v4.71.1 Router, Speedstream 5100B Modem

Anyone have any ideas? Anyone familiar if the Alchemy firmware upgrade will allow me to do this?
Is my only option to downgrade to WEP security? Client mode with WPA works fine....but I would really like WPA for the WDS.
Thank you to anyone who can help...I am trying to avoid spending$100+ for something that I may be able to do with the equipment I currently have!

Re: Topic: Linksys WRT54G and WDS

Hi all - this topic was in the 'User Tips' section of the forum, and I'd really like to ask the author 'Frank Canzolino' a couple of questions about certain settings for the Linksys before I proceed with trying to get the APX to work with it...
For example, it says in step 4 to copy the MAC address seen in the 'status' tab - is that the MAC address of the Linksys router or the MAC address of the computer I'm working on?
And I also have extra security measures set up that I'm concerned about - I have MAC filtering turned on, for example, as well as a trusted IP range which I'm not sure the address of '.201' would fit into. My range is basically completely occupied with 5 different machines and a Nintendo Wii - not sure where the APX would fit into the whole equation...
Any help would be appreciated - does this board have a PM or 'email user' feature? I was trying to get a hold of the original poster, but the most I can seem to do is 'subscribe' to his posts...
Dual 2.0 PM G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

For example, it says in step 4 to copy the MAC address seen in the 'status' tab - is that the MAC address of the Linksys router or the MAC address of the computer I'm working on?
The Linksys WRT54G.
...I have MAC filtering turned on...
Turn it off. MAC address filtering is not a real security feature. The MAC addresses of wirelessly connected clients are easily captured and cloned.
Any help would be appreciated - does this board have a PM or 'email user' feature?
Not sure what a "PM" is... The only way to directly contact another poster is if they have their e-mail address listed in their user information. Click on their name and you will see information on that user. It appears that Frank does not have an e-mail address listed.
If you have detailed questions, post them here and someone will probably have an answer.

How to hook up a Linksys WRT54G to Motorola NVG589. PLEASE HELP!

Hello, I have recently switched over to AT&T Uverse and I am loving it. One thing I miss is having extra ethernet ports to plug in my desktop computer and my Xbox 360. When the Uverse technician came in, he installed a Motorola NVG589 modem that also has a built in wireless router. He also installed a VAP2500 as a receiver for 2 wireless TV boxes. The VAP2500 plugs into the back of the Motorola NVG589. 3 other TV boxes are plugged into the back as well. My dilemma is the fact that all of the ports are being taken up. I need at least 2 more ethernet ports free so I can hook up my Xbox 360 (my model doesn't have built in wifi) and my desktop computer as well. I told the technician this when he installed the system and he told me to go on ebay and buy 2 cheap splitters and split 2 TV boxes that are coming into the NVG589. I did so. It didn't work out. I called up AT&T and the guy over the phone said that was the worst thing I could've done. He told be I should buy an ethernet switch. I had my Linksys WRT54G (Version 6) router laying around at the time and realized that it had a built in ethernet switch. I want to get this to also function as another Wifi hotspot because I have an old PowerMac G4 downstairs that won't connect to the NVG589 for some reason (it says connection timeout). I am guessing that the wifi card in the system may be too old to connect to the modern NVG589. So, I need the 2 extra ethernet ports and another Wifi hotspot from this setup. I have tried multiple things to get this to work. The closest way I could get it to work was when I plugged an ethernet cable from the LAN port on the WRT54G to port on the back of the NVG589. I then plugged the TV box ethernet cable I had to disconnect into the second LAN port on the WRT54G as well as plugging my Xbox 360 into the 3rd LAN port and my computer into the 4th LAN port. This worked great for the TV box and the Xbox 360. However, the computer's ethernet connection ran very slow and the WIfi from the WRT54G was very slow as well. The Wifi from the NVG589 was slow too. I unhooked that setup and put it back to what it was beforehand. Is there anyone that knows of a flawless way of setting this up? Any articles someone can link me to? I've heard of bridging the NVG589...would that help me? How exactly would I do that? Please HELP. I have attached pics. On the back of the NVG589 - green ethernet is the DSL cable, both white ethernet cables along with the black one are TV boxes and the yellow ethernet cable is the VAP 2500. Thanks!

Ya, the install tech must have been sleeping or texting or something during training.... or it's possible he misunderstood you and thought your were talking about needing extra phone ports, which could be accomplished with simple splitters. You were almost where you needed to be with your setup, you just missed some steps. Connect your wired computer only to one of the Linksys' LAN port. With the Linksys powered up press and hold the reset button for 15 seconds (will need toothpick or unfolded paperclip). This will perform a "factory" reset. When the Linksys is fully rebooted, log in to the Linksys. Do not configure the "Internet Connection Type" on the Linksys. Navigate to the "Wireless" section on the Linksys and configure the wireless. Do not use the same SSID (wireless network name) that the NVG589 uses. Save changes. Navigate to the "LAN" configuration on the Linksys and set the routers address to 192.168.1.1 and disable the DHCP Server. Save changes. This step will kick you out of the router. Power down your computer and the Linksys, run an Ethernet cable from a LAN port on the NVG589 to a LAN port on the Linksys, then power up the Linksys, and when it's fully rebooted, power up your computer. You should be good to go at this point. You will want to individually configure your wireless devices to use either the wireless network from the NVG or the wireless network from the Linksys. Otherwise they make keep jumping back and forth between the two, which will degrade performance for that device. You may still notice a slight to moderate performance drop for the wireless on both the NVG and the Linksys because they will be competing for the same wireless airspace along with the VAP2500.
How can you be in two places at once, when your not anywhere at all?
