Can I use a WRT54GX2 as wireless bridge for my Blue Ray to an E1000 wireless router?

I recently replaced my WRT54GX2 router with an E1000 for networking in my home.  I now have a Blu-Ray disk player, and thought I may be able to use the old WRT54GX2 to wirelessly bridge a network connection for the Blu-Ray.  I am having trouble fignuring out how to configure it, if possible at all.  Any help would be appreciated

A WRT and a E1000 are wireless routers, i.e. router with an integrated wireless access points. They accept client connections. They don't connect to other access points. They always require a wired connection to your main network.
Running a wire is the best solution anyway, in particular for video streaming and similar.

  • Can you use airport extreme as a bridge to netgear wdnr4500 wireless router

    can you use airport extreme as a bridge with a netgear  wndr4500 router.I need to extend my wireless connections to the other side of the house

    can you use airport extreme as a bridge with a netgear  wndr4500 router.
    This is extremely unlikely. The AirPort Extreme can provide this function with other Apple routers, but as far we know, it is not compatible with products from other manufacturers for this purpose.
    Suggest that you use a Netgear product for the best chance of compatibility.

  • Need Help using WRT54GL as Wireless Bridge for Xbox

    Hi.
    I need help configuring my WRT54GL as a wireless bridge for my xbox.
    I have a Billion BiPAC 7404VGO currently in service as my main router/modem. i.e. I have my ADSL connection and PC connected to this. I also connect to this with a laptop.
    I have an original xbox at the other end of the house (cat5 NOT an option).
    Basically I want to connect my xbox to the rest of network. I have a WRT54GL I can use for this. I just dont know how to set it up.
    The WRT54GL has Firmware Version: v4.30.7 (out of the box).
    My Wireless network is using WPA.
    I have a VPN setup through to work via the Billion.
    The idea is to stream media from my PC to the xbox (media centre).
    Any help would be HUGELY appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    A wireless router is a device which requires its own wired internet connection. A wireless router is not a wireless access point like the Linksys WAPs. A wireless router does not connect wireless to other wireless routers/APs with standard Linksys firmware. With Linksys firmware you need a WAP54G or similar. The WAPs support wireless bridging and repeater mode.
    If you already have a WRT54GL then you have to install a 3rd party firmware which adds wireless bridging capabilities. Read the wikipedia article on "WRT54G" for information about which WRT models support 3rd party firmware and an overview of projects and links.
    Remember, however, that you may brick your router if you install a 3rd party firmware incorrectly and you probably void the warranty if you install 3rd party firmware (it is even possible to find out after you restore the original Linksys firmware if you don't clear the NVRAM before).

  • Can I use an AE as a Bridge allowing me to hardwire my iMac and offer a wifi to my MacBook? The Ethernet in my office is hard wired but does come in from a router on the other end of the building that has a wifi that cant reach my office...

    Thanks, I thought so but wanted to be sure before running out and buying one...  I also called Apple Joint Venture and they helped me set it up without the Airport by using my iMac as the wifi!  Thanks again!

  • Wireless Bridge for gaming

    I am using an Airport Express to create a wireless network in my home, with WPA/WPA2 encryption.
    I would like to buy a wireless bridge so I can connect to the internet on my Playstation 2 and play games.
    Does anyone know of a good wireless bridge for this purpose? One that can be used with WPA/WPA2 encryption.

    What is your router brand?
    I believe some router can be tweak using its web based interface to dedicated bandwidth for gaming.
    Are you using wireless for gaming, maybe if you step up to N protocol, it might help you too. But you have to get wireleen N router and have macbook that capable with wireless N protocol.
    If you using wired online gaming, consider one with gigabit port.
    Good Luck

  • Can I use TC as a backup drive for a Windows PC

    I bought a TC. We still have one desktop PC. I am hoping to use TC as a backup drive for that PC in addition to its wireless capabilities. Can I do that? Or, do I have to have an external hard drive hooked up to TC that is used to backup the PC?
    Thanks!

    Does TC have to be formatted in some special way in order to have the PC write to the drive?
    No, the TC is a network drive.. its internal format happens to be HFS+ and cannot be changed, but it would not matter if it was formatted to some strange standard you never heard of. It presents to the network as an SMB files store.. that just means it is like a shared drive on another computer.
    I prefer to simply reinstall the operating system & have the data files to restore in case something happens. At least, in my limited experience and others' stories, that seems to be a simpler route.
    I disagree here. A full backup of terrible mess sure, that is worse than a bad fresh install. But a clone of the PC on the day of creation.. that is a very special backup.. and I store them for every pc I setup. Fortunately very few these days.. To install the OS, drivers, updates (these take forever plus several registrations to MS), antivirus, security software, basic software like office, register everything, ring microsoft to convince them you are reinstalling because you had to wipe the pc and are not stealing the software. Discover that the PC has no original disks because the supplier loaded it onto a partition on the hard disk which is now dead. Load emails.. those are painful..remember all your account names, account info, all the passwords all the favourites.. that takes a few days.
    When you get a new pc, an unused full install.. everything registered.. everything working as it should.. take a clone snapshot.. and protect it like crazy. That snapshot will have your pc back in working condition in under 1 hour. What is more it will be small.. a few gigabyte at most.. you can probably fit the whole thing on a 8GB usb stick. Lock that away in a draw.. it is precious.. my precious.. get it with a nice ring on the end.. !!
    There is a full working pc with all your software, fully registered without more effort than starting the restore. All shrunk down to an $10 storage device.
    You can do the same thing after say 1 year.. the backup might no longer fit on a nice disk but you can get hard disks for very cheap. It also represents a working volume, all the current passwords, all the current favourites and setups. After that things tend to go downhill.. files and registry bloats out and viruses get in.. etc. But at least the day of creation backup is so so worth it.
    So, maybe I can still use the MS Backup process I've been using and write to the TC as an "external hard drive" location for the backup file?
    It will work.. much more cannot be said.
    Wishing you a Happy New Year - wherever in the world you might be!

    But same back to you.. with knobs on!!

  • Can you use SQL as a data source for a project in the same way you can in Excel?

    Excel allows you to create a data source that executes a SQL stored procedure, display that data as a table in a spreadsheet and have that data automatically refresh each time you open the spreadsheet. Is it possible to do the same thing in MS Project, displaying
    the data from the stored procedure as a series of tasks?
    Here's what I'm trying to do - I have a stored procedure that pulls task data meeting a specific criteria from all projects in Project Server. We're currently displaying this data as an Excel report. However, the data includes start dates and durations so
    it would be nice to be able to display it as a Gantt Chart. I've played around with creating a Gantt chart in Excel and have been able to do a very basic one, but it doesn’t quite fit our needs.

    No, You can not use sql as a data source for a project.
    You have 3 options to achieve it:
    1. You can create a Sharepoint list with desired column ,fill desired data in that list then you can create a MS project from Sharepoint List.
    2. You can create a SSRS report in which you can display grantt chart Joe has given you that link.
    3. You can write a macro in MPP which will take data from your excel. In excel you will fetch data from your stored procedure. write a schedule which will run every day to update your data or
    create an excel report in which will update automatically and write macro in mpp which will fetch the data then publish it so that it would be available to team members.

  • Multiple iphones each with an apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates?

    We have two iphones each with a different apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates without risking having my apps overwritten.  Basically does itunes keep the two iphones as two separate entities ?  Does iTunes differentiate between the two devices and keep two different SYNCs ?

    Yes, you can use the same computer for BACK UPS, RESTORING AND UPDATING. But that is it.
    You cannot, however, use it to sync the different devices. iTunes will only recognize one device to sync with and if you sync any other devices with that iTunes library, it will replace what is on the phone with whatever is in the library. It cannot differentiate between devices. At most, it will jsut recognize that the phone has been synced with a different iTunes library.
    So if you would like to use the same computer for backing up, restoring and updating, just make sure to turn of Automatic Syncing in your iTunes Preferences.

  • I have 2 iCloud accounts. Can I delete one account so I can make use of additional space I purchased for the secondary account? Also iPhoto seems to only connect to the primary account? How do I send files to the secondary account?

    I have 2 iCloud accounts. Can I delete one account so I can make use of additional space I purchased for the secondary account? Also iPhoto seems to only connect to the primary account? How do I send files to the secondary account?

    Both accounts are completely independent from each other. In order to use the space that you have purchased for your secondary account, you must change it to become your primary account. Yes, as you said, services like photo stream only work with the primary account. Unfortunately, there is no comfortable way to just transfer data from one account to another one, but you can do it via a third party application e.g. via Dropbox: e.g. for photos: photos stored with your current primary account > manual transfer to dropbox > after you made your secondary account to the primary account,  transfer the photos back to your new primary account etc.

  • Can i use technical system type 'third party' for r3 system in idoc2file sc

    Hi,
          i am doing a sample out bound scenario (idoc 2 file), distributing idoc from sap system to csv file (in same network). in this can i use thchnical system type 'third party' for R3 system. will the scenario work properly or not.
      And some times some of the business systems in SLD are not visible in ID, when assigning business system in ID.can any one tell reason for this.
      can any one suggest me,........ Thanks in advance & would be appreciated.
    Regards

    Hi,
    <i> can i use thchnical system type 'third party' for R3 system. will the scenario work properly or not.</i>
       --- No u can't use this...Ur technical system must be "WebAS ABAP" only.  For file system you use 3rd party system. means ur technical system like follows.
    sender
    R/3  -- WebAs ABAP
    Receiver
    File  - 3 rd pary system
    <i>And some times some of the business systems in SLD are not visible in ID, when assigning business system in ID.can any one tell reason for this.</i>
      Click "Clear SLD cache" repeatly for some time in ID, it will come.

  • How can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

    I have two iPads.. an iPad and an ipad 2.  I registared my new ipad 2 and now my old ipad is will not let me log on and is telling me that my e-mail address is already in use.  how can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

    And by using the same Apple ID you can also share purchases.  If you have a different Apple ID for each iPhone then you can't share purchases.
