Can I use a Linksys WPC11-VN?

I have a factory sealed Lynksys WPC11-VN v.4 wireless card I'd like to put to use in my iMac SE 600. Will it work in the Airport slot? Any opinions/advice would be most welcome.
Thanks!

That card is a PCMCIA card, and will therefore only work on some portable computers, as these ports are rarely provided with desktop computers if at all. Your options for wireless access are to use an AirPort card, an USB adapter, or an Ethernet adapter such as this one.

  • Can I use a Linksys WRT300N as a range extender?

    Currently I have a Linksys WRT300N V1 that I am not using.  I do not get wireless coverage in my kitchen and back yard.  I want to use the WRT300N as an extended.  Is this possible?
    Currnetly I have a netgear WRT600 connected to my modem (verizon fios).  I would like to use the WRT300N as a repeater/extender if possible.
    Thanks
    Brian

    Linksys routers doesn't support repeater mode, If you want you can use WRT300N as an Access Point by connecting it hard wired to the first router.

  • Can I use a Linksys EA 6900 router with Time Machine to do backup?

    Hello, I have a Linksys EA 6900 router.  I plugged in my WD Passport (formatted in Apple Mac format) 1 GB drive into the USB port and I can see it on the network, browse it etc no problem, but when I try to back up to it using Time Machine, it does not find it.
    Please help, thanks!!

    Backing up that way is not supported by Apple. There are tricks you can use to make it work, but you don't know if your backup will be of any use when you need it. Many people have found that using unsupported methods with Time Machine results in failure to restore when they need it.

  • Can not use my linksys cams on iphone 5

    i have two linksys cams that i haven't beable to see on my iphone 5 they will work on the iphone 4 but not the 5 any ideas?????

    If you want to mirror the phone screen to a TV you need the HDMI adapter (assuming your TV has HDMI input) from your iPhone to an HDMI cable.
    An even better solution is to get an AppleTV and then you can mirror wirelessly to your TV from your iPhone. That works great!

  • Can I use the Airport Express to connect to a Linksys Wireless Network and then use the Ethernet port on the Airport for a wired connection to a device for internet access?  Would I be able to then also use that Ethernet pt to a Ntwk Hub for more wired c

    Thanks for the help.  Looked but not clear on what I am trying to do as being possible.  Can I use an Airport Express to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless Router, such that I can then use the Ethernet ports on the Airport to either connected to a PC wired, or even use a hub off the Airport Express to allow multiple wired connections to it? 
    I am not looking to have the Airport Express extend my wireless network, just connect to it and provide me wired connections in a different location from where my Linksys Route is located.  Would prefer to replace Linksys with all Apple, but just not possible financially yet.  Thanks for the help.

    If the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is an 802.11n model, then yes, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, the AX would join the wireless network provided by the Linksys router and its Ethernet port would be enabled for either a single wired device or for an Ethernet hub or switch for multiple devices.

  • 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.

  • 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 find Network using a Linksys WUSB54G Wireless-G USB Adapter with a linksys WRT150N router????

    Hello.....I just recently bought a linksys WRT150N router and am having problems connecting a computer that uses a Linksys WUSB54G Wireless-G USB Adapter. This computer's operating system is windows 2000 and it cannot find the network I setup.....Even when I double checked that the router was in mixed mode.....Can anybody help?

    I am having a similar problem with my WUSB54GC adapter connecting to my WRT54G router 100 feet away with only a single stud wall in between.  Sometimes the computer connects automatically and sometimes I have to restart windows or use the repair connection wizard to get the computer to connect.  Using Windows XP and Mixed infrastructure network with SSID broadcasting disabled.

  • Just bought Apple Extreme. Can I use my old Linksys extender to boost signal in a closed area?

    Can anyone tell me if I can still use an existing Linksys Wireless Range Extender (WRE 54G) with my new Apple Extreme Routher please?

    Apple uses proprietary settings for their "extend a wireless network" feature, which are designed to only allow other Apple device to extend the network. Therefore, it is extremely unlikely that a Linksys product would be able to wirelessly extend an Apple network.
    If you plan to connect the Linksys 54G to the Apple AirPort Extreme using a wired Ethernet connection, then you could set up the Linksys router to provide more wireless signal coverage that way. Configure the Linksys router in bridge mode to provide a wireless network using the same wireless network name, same wireless security setting and same password as the Apple network.

  • Can I use AirPort Express as booster/extender to LinkSys router signal?

    I have LinkSys N router (which I got free, else would've bought AirPort), its signal isn't strong enough in office room.  Can I use AirPort Express as a booster/extender?  Some sources say Express can only talk to another Express, others say it can communicate with the LinkSys.  Which is it?  I don't want to spend the money for two Expresses unless I have no choice (very limited budget nowadays).
    I've been hassling with this for over a month, and I'm extremely frustrated. 
    Thanks to anybody who can help me with this.

    Most likely no. That is because most non-Apple router's implementation of WDS is not compatible ... and this is true the other way around. It is true that some early Linksys models, mainly the WRT-54 series were compatible, but I have not seen anything since then that is.

  • Can i use airport extreme as wifi range extender in conjunction with a Linksys AE4500 router

    can i use airport extreme base station as wifi range extender in conjunction with a Linksys AE4500 router

    If you are trying to "extend" using wireless only......Apple tells us that their "extend a wireless network" feature is designed to only work with other Apple routers.
    So, in order to use your AirPort Extreme as an extender, you would need to have another Apple router.....an AirPort Express, Time Capsule, or another AirPort Extreme as the main base station.
    I haven't tested the specific Linksys model that you have, but have owned and worked with several other Linksys models, none of which were compatible with Apple for the purpose that you ask about....so I would have to say that it is extremely unlikely that your model would be compatible with the AirPort Extreme.

  • Can you use the Airport Express A1264 as an AP and a DHCP server at the same time?

    Can you use the Airport Express A1264 as an Access Point and a DHCP server at the same time?
    I would like to use it as a DHCP server and AP at the same time in my LAN (no internet, just local machines through a few switches). I was lead to belive this could be the case from a few networking friends that haven't been friendly enough to help me out setting it up.

    I need it to act as a dLink/Cisco/Linksys/etc basic wifi router, in the fact that you can access it via wifi, and it will spit out DHCP addresses (192.168.1.xxx) to everything wired downstream of it.
    I want to simultaniously provide a Wifi connection and a LAN connection at the same time
    Thanks,

  • Can I use my WRT54G as a DHCP server only? I've got 5 dynamic IP's from Time Warner..

    Hi everyone, I'm wondering if I can use my WRT54G as a DHCP server only only my network, without having to have any of my PC's plugged into it's router ports?  I looked at the settings but I couldn't get it to work.
    Here's why:  I just got Time Warner Business Class cable internet which comes with 5 dynamic IP's.  I want each computer, well 4 of them at least and 1 for the WRT54G, to have a unique IP when accessing the internet, and the other computers (5 more computers) to use the DHCP server in the WRT54G to get a NAT IP for use on the internet.
    We play Diablo II on the internet and only 4 computers can be connected through 1 IP, so that limits us in my current configuration.
    Current Equipment: One WRT54G, one Netgear GS116 16 port gigabit non-managed switch.  One Time Warner Cable modem.  Also attached to the network is one HP network printer, a Buffalo LinkStation NAS and a Zensonic Network DVD player.
    Current config:  Cable modem -->  WRT54G --> Netgear switch.
    Ideal config: Cable modem -->  Netgear switch -->  WRT54G.
    With my current config, I am not taking advantage of the 5 dynamic IP's, but all the computers connected to the Netgear switch or the WRT54G can connect to the internet and the NAS. 
    So my ideal config (where I don't have to buy anything and where all the computers can print and access the NAS) is to connect all the computers and devices to the Netgear Switch and somehow force 4 of the computers and the WRT54G to get a dynamic IP from the cable modem, while the other computers and devices use the DHCP server on the WRT54G to get to the internet. 
    Is this possible?
    I called Time Warner Cable and they weren't any help.  I called the Linksys sales department and they weren't of much help either. 
    I suppose that I could purchase a new 8 port switch and attach 4 computers, the cable modem and the WRT54G to it.  Then attach the Netgear to the WRT54G to accomodate the printer, NAS, and the other 5 computers.  But in that senario, the 4  computers connected to the new switch can't print and can't reach the NAS.  And geez, some computers would have to go through 3 devices to reach the internet, which has got to slow them down.
    I did read about the Linksys EFG120 which has a DHCP server, but at $400 and only 120 gigs, it doesn't work for me. 
    I called Time Warner and the cost of more dynamic IP's is prohibitive, I'm already paying $79 a month for this internet and they want another $50 a month for 7 more dynamic IP's and that wouldn't help my NAS or my printer.
    The cost of a 16 port gigabit switch with DHCP is an amazing $800 or so, which is out of the question. 
    Sorry for being so long winded and thanks for reading this far.  I'm looking forward to any replies. 

    That is a hell of a setup. I don't know if it would be easier and cheaper to either buy a real router like a Cisco, get fixed IP addresses and a RV042, or buy 4 network cards for the four of the five computers which need the internet access for gaming.
    O.K. First your setup:
    1. You wire the modem to the 6-port switch.
    2. You connect the remaining 5 ports with the WAN ports of 5 WRTs with DHCP on the WAN interface.
    3. You configure each WRT with unique LAN IP addresses in the same subnet, e.g. 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3, 192.168.1.4, 192.168.1.5.
    4. You turn off all DHCP servers except on one, e.g. 192.168.1.1. That router will be the default router and internet connection for any client which gets dynamic LAN addresses (as fallback or guests, I would not configure the NAS or printer with DHCP addresses if you have everything else on static IP addresses). You can certainly disable all DHCP servers if you want, too.
    5. Now you connect all WRTs with each other.
    5a. You connect port 1 of the 1st WRT with port 1 of the 2nd.
    You connect port 2 of the 2nd with port 1 of the 3rd.
    Port 2 of the 3rd with port 1 of the 4th.
    Port 2 of the 4th with port 1 of the 5th.
    (Do not create a loop connecting port 2 of the 5th with port 2 of the 1st!!)
    5b. You buy another switch and connect each port 1 of each router with this switch. This has the advantage that you don't have a long cascade between the 1st and the 5th router like in 5a.
    6. You connect all devices to the LAN.
    6a. If you did 5a, you will probably put each computer to the router which internet connection it uses. The NAS and printer could go anywhere.
    6b. If you did 5b, you hopefully bought a 16 or 24 port switch. Then you plug simply everything into that switch. Otherwise you can certainly use the free ports of the WRTs like in 6a.
    7. You configure all your devices with static IP addresses. For instance,
    IP 192.168.1.11
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.1.1
    For the DNS servers I would highly recommend to use the DNS servers of your ISP directly and not use the relay on 192.168.1.1.
    The gateway address defines through which router the computer connects to the internet.
    8. You may still have to configure port forwardings on the router to the game computer if required for the game.
    An interesting alternative to this setup might be to buy 4/5 network cards for the 4/5 computers with direct internet access. Then you use the one network card to connect to your single LAN behind your single WRT. The other network card goes into the switch behind the modem and has direct internet access. You then have to tell Windows which of the network cards has the default gateway for the internet connection (to prevent routing all traffic through the LAN and the WRT to the internet). One game computer would have to be behind the WRT.

  • Using a Linksys WRT300N as head end for 1130AG

    We currently have a seperate DSL line connected to a Linksys wireless router/switch for public use. We were given an 1130AG access point and would like to find a way to use a switch port off of the Linksys to connect to the FA port on the 1130AG and have the AP pass DHCP requests and all other traffic to the Linksys. This works if instaed of the 1130AG I use another Linksys router. I am able to assign the second router a static IP off of the first router and that second router uses a different IP range for it's DHCP clients. Because the 1130AG is restricted to handing out 10 DHCP client IPs I can't do the same thing and supply enough IP's to the public in my Jury room. I have been unable to get the AP to use the Linksys DHCP assignments. I orignially tried assigning a mgmt vlan and gues vlan on the AP where the mgmt vlan and ssid are the same as the ssid on the Linksys. Neither was succesful though I was able to connect to the AP when I forced my laptop to connect to that MAC. I then tried only have the mgmt vlan and opening that up for public use, that met with the same results. Then I tried setting up the AP to have no vlan but use the same ssid as the Linksys, still no luck. If I set the AP to receive it's address by DHCP it receives that address from the Linksys but other client traffic doesn't appear to work. So the two units are speaking to each other.
    Has anyone tried to do this before? I know I should have a controller for the AP but I don't currently have the budget for that unit and the AP was given to us.
    Thank you in advance.

    You can get it to work, but the 1130 management has to be configured for vlan 1 and the ssid has to be mapped to that vlan also. The Linksys router along with other soho routers don't have support for routing and having more than one subnet.

    Hello friends.. I have a similar question, in that I would like to purchase the 2TB TC for use as a NAS device, in addition to taking advantage of the Air Port extreme.. Then I could dump my Linksys router.
    I was originally looking at a Synology NAS solution, but the TC seems like it can meet my needs.
    I have a Synology NAS as well as the Time Capsule.  If you look at the 3.2 beta program, the Synology actually attempts to replicate TC functionality in that you can use it with Time Machine on your Mac.
    I must say, Airport on the TC is definitely a nice feature!

    I'm surprised more people aren't using the TC as a dedicated NAS deviced.. I've searched high and low on forums around the web, and don't seem to see many people trying to use it as I've outlined.
    I can't see why this wouldn't fufill my needs, and take the place of a separate NAS solution (like the Synology, or iOmega, Seagate, etc....)
    Has anyone used this TC as such?
    Yes, you can do this and it's something I've been trying to do, but I'm currently having issues.  I have another thread stating I consistently get "connection failed" messages.  I'm basically storing my music/photo/video files on the TC and keeping my Mac hard drive fairly lean.  In terms of NAS functionality, the TC is very basic.  Synology/QNAP and others have a lot more features so don't rule them out.
