Cascade valet m-10 with wrt54g and wap54

Hello, got a question I Read the article about cascading routers, but still unsure of how i should set up my new valet m-10
Im currently using a WRT54G as my main router connected to my modem in my home office, and a WAP54 set up as a repeater in the living Room. We have multiple devices still using Wireless G, and a few that have Wireless N so im wanting
to use the valet just for my N devices and My WRT54 & WAP54 for the G. So do I just cascade the valet off the WRT54? or should I make the Valet the main Router and cascade the G routers? the reason I have the repeater is because the wireless signal is weak in the living room and bedrooms. any ideas that could help me is appreciated thanks ~=)

If your WRT54G and WAP54G are working then you need not have disturb the connection. As well as if you want to make the WRT54G as the primary router then you can even do that. Second there are two ways to connect a Linksys router to another router:
1. LAN to LAN – Connecting one of the Ethernet ports (LAN ports) of the second Valet router to one of the Ethernet ports (LAN ports) of the main router.
This connection makes the computers connected to both routers to be on the same LAN IP segment. This will allow sharing of resources within the network.
2. LAN to WAN – Connecting one of the Ethernet ports (LAN ports) of the main router to the Internet port (WAN port) of the second Valet router.
This connection makes it easier to identify which router the computers are connected to since they will have different LAN IP segments. Thus, computers that are connected to router A will not be able to communicate with router B, and vice versa since they are two different networks.
Here is the link for the configuration - http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=3733&userrole=Linksy...

Problem with WRT54G and DSL NAT router

I have a WRT54G connected to a Westell DSL NAT router. I would like to be able to allow incoming connections to my FreeBSD server.
The Westell router allows me to set IP Passthrough (they call it "Single Static IP"). This gives the WRT54G the outside IP address given to the DSL router. I can then set up the WRT54G for DDNS and port forwarding to forward specific ports I want to my server.
This works, for about 2-3 days. Then, I start to randomly lose outside connectivity. Web pages start coming up with missing elements, or taking a long time to load. This will eventually lead to total loss of outgoing communication.
Normally, I would blame this on the Westell NAT router, but as I'm losing connectivity to the internet, I'm also losing connectivity to the WRT54G. It will try to load configuration pages but will be slow with missing elements, etc.
All communications between computers on my inside network continue to function properly, it's just connectivity to the WRT54G and the internet that seem to start to fail.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on? I just upgraded the firmware on the WRT54G from 1.01.1 to 1.02.0, but I don't imagine this will help.
Thanks,
David Chamberlain

Try setting the MTU to manual and change the value to 1450

Help with WRT54G and CenturyTel DSL

I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm trying to set up a WRT54G with DSL service from Century Telephone.
I'm running Windows XP and have been using this DSL service for several years without a router, so I know I can connect reliably. I've connected my desktop directly to the router (e.g. wired connection) and I've double and triple checked connections and know they are secure and correct.
I ran the setup CD, and it could not find an Internet connection. I went through all the normal steps - powering down everything, restarting. No dice. I downloaded Easty Answer ID 2210 from Linksys about setting up PPPoE DSL connections and followed all instructions - still no luck. I downloaded latest firmware for router, tried again - no luck. When I check router's status page, I see no connection and get error message "Cannot get IP address from PPPoE server".
Then contacted CentryTel tech service to see if they had any suggestions. They helped me set up a bridge connection through the router - but that just demonstrates the Internet conneciton is available and there isn't a wiring problem. Spent about an hour on line with Linksys tech support, but he wasn't able to diagnose the problem and then the connection was dropped on his end.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.
Mark

It is so nice to read that others are having the same problems - misery loves company.
I used to have Comcast, but moved and switched to DSL. I have never had problems like the ones I have experienced since switching, and have not had luck with either CenturyTel or Linksys customer service.
I have the same issue - so we fiddled with the IP address and were able to get one computer on wireless. However, we have three computers in the house - but the other two can't get on the Internet wirelessly. Can multiple computers use the wireless connection after you've changed the IP address for one? It doesn't seem to work for us, despite multiple calls to help desks (Linksys told us it was a problem with our laptop maker; however, we never had issues with this particular computer going on wireless at the old house.)
Any help for WRT54TG/CenturyTel (or any DSL)/multiple computers is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

IP issue on wireless with WRT54G and new laptop

Hello,
I just got a new laptop after having gone over a year without one on my home network and I have an issue...
The laptop sees the WRT54G wireless router, says it connects to said router, and then tells me it can't obtain an IP from the router. I vaguely remember when my desktop PC used windows XP and I had this little tool that worked with the WRT54G when I last had a laptop on my home network, and I had the same issue until I 'authorized' it. That tool doesn't seem to exist anymore online and my desktop has had a fresh install of Windows 7 for what seems like ages... Nothing I change in settings seems to get the laptop an IP wirelessly, anyone have any suggestions...?

Oddly, I found a strange, but far easier solution... plugging it in through a wired connection then removing said wire after using the network gave the laptop an IP address and let it work perfectly wirelessly... Though I'm not sure why that should be... It only makes sense if the router doesn't give out IP's to wireless connections for some odd reason...
Oh and I created and manually recreated the connection at least 3 times... With no effect... I even switched from WPA to WEP to wide open while trying to get it to work (it's back on WPA again now) when trying to find a solution... None got me more than limited connectivity as it wasn't getting an IP address from the router, even though it was connecting...

Problems with WRT54GS and EasyLink after adding Comcast Digital Voice.

I had a working network. Cable modem (Comcast), WRT54GS, 2 wired PCs (one XP/SP3, one Vista Home Edition SP1), 2 wireless laptop PCs (one XP/SP3, one Vista Home Edition SP1) and a HP OfficeJet 7210 printer (connected to WRT54GS as network printer). Everything was fine and worked.
Then, I added Comcast Digital Voice. Obviously, they switched the cable modem for a new cable modem with the phone service option. Now, I can't print to the OfficeJet from the wired Vista PC, and EasyLink displays "initializing" for as long as I'll wait (5+ minutes).
I finally have to kill EasyLink from the TaskManager. Any help or ideas appreciated!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I solved the problem. It turns out the new cable modem and problem with EasyLink initializing were "red herrings".
The problem turned out to be a classic network problem! The hard-wired Vista PC had the wrong IP address. The wireless XP PC had the printer configured by network name instead of network (i.e. IP) address.
When I deleted the printer on the Vista PC and re-added it with the correct address everything worked fine.
Apparently the printer got a new IP address from the server on the WRT54GS after the installation of the new modem. Also, it looks like Vista doesn't report a communication error for a network printer, but does for a USB direct connect.

Problems with WRT54G and Call of Duty 4 hosts....XBOX360

I have a WRT54G wireless router and an xbox360 hooked up wirelessly to it using the wireless adapter made my microsoft for the 360. The problem is that it is nearly impossible for me to connect to ANY host at all. My internet works fine and I dont have this problem with other games. I'm wondering if anyone can help me out with this. My isp is Verizon DSL, i have a Westell 5100 modem, that is about all else I can think of that may have any importance. Thank you for the help in advance.

Check the firmware of the router ... if possible upgrade the firmware .... Also try to forward the ports on the router setup page ..

Help please with WRT54GS and Virgin Media Broadband

I have been using this router very successfully for some time with our base PC, a laptop and another PC upstairs whilst we were on NTL broadband. NTL have recently been taken over by Virgin and as a result we were offered an upgrade on our equipment. Since we now have a new set-top modem I have been unable to receive the internet through the wireless router. I have contacted Virgin and they have said that when I plug the ethernet cable into the router they are not seeing a connection on their system but if i bypass the router the connection is fine. Can someone suggest to me anything i can try to rectify this problem.
Thankyou

Hi...
May I know the model and version number of your linksys router? And what type of connection you have from your ISP...is it CABLE or DSL?
Take the risk. Conquer your limitations!

Problems with WRT54G and WRT54GL

I bought a WRT54G router over a year ago and though it dropped once in a while but nothing major. I then bought a Linksys adapter for my new Dell for my room to go online and since then my router has been nothing but problems. It will run fine for a week, then out of no where it will lose signal and or connection and no matter what I do in the settings or what I reset, I can never figure out how to fix the problem. Usually after an hour it will pick up and I'll be fine again for another week. At the moment, it is not working again and has not for over an hour.
I then thought hey, I'll buy the WRT54GL as I heard many great reviews for the product. I do what the CD says, but then out of no where the cd crashes. No matter what I do, it always crashes before it can finish. The orange light never comes on and it never works at all.
I really do not know what else to do, this has become a real pain. Thanks for your time and help.

Check the firmware of the router ... if possible upgrade the firmware .... Also try to forward the ports on the router setup page ..

Problem getting connection to work with WRT54G and iPod Touch 4G

Hi, I just recently received a brand new iPod Touch 4G and I seem to be having connection troubles with it. This has also happened on my previous iPod (an iPod Touch 1G). This router has a pretty old firmware from like 2006. The problem is not that I can connect to the router and get the ipod to show the checkmark, but it is that I cannot get any network connection through the router. I have a Windows 7 laptop that connects perfectly fine using the router. Also, I believe my Nintendo DS Lite can connect flawlessly as well. I noticed that there seems to be a bit of trouble with Apple products connecting to Linksys routers in general. Does anyone know what may be causing my connection issues? When I got my iPod Touch 1G, it wouldn't connect from the get-go so I just ignored it and used the wifi at my university whenever I went there during the day.
If I need to provide any technical information, I can because I have access to the setup for the router. Thanks. :-)

Try changing the security mode to WEP and see if that works.
Open the setup page of the router.
Click on Wireless tab and go to Wireless MAC filter sub tab. Make sure that Wireless MAC filter is disabled on the router.
Try to upgrade the firmware on your router.
Connect the computer with the Ethernet cable to the router.
Download the latest firmware from Linksys website and save it on your computer. Open the setup page of the router. Click on Administration tab and go to Firmware upgrade sub tab. Browse the firmware file that you have already downloaded and upgrade it on your router.
After upgrading the firmware on the router, it is recommended that you should reset the router and reconfigure it. Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 10 seconds. Power cycle the router and reconfigure it.
Change some advanced wireless settings on the router. Click on Wireless tab and go to Advanced wireless settings. Change the Beacon interval to 75, RTS threshold to 2307 and fragmentation threshold to 2306. Save the settings.

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!

Using WRT54G and WET11 with another router as the Gateway

I have a wired network in the house with access to the Internet through a router on the 2nd floor. I connect a ReplayTV DVR in the basement to the network with a Cat5 cable running across the floor between the DVR and a switch. I'd like to replace that with a wireless solution.
I have at my disposal one WET11 bridge and two WRT54G routers. Neither of those routers is the one connecting the house to the cable modem. Is there a way I can connect one of the WRT54G routers to a switch in the basement and have it talk to the WET11 connected to the DVR on the other side of the basement?

I made some progress, but then ran into a couple of snags. I'm not routing with the WRT54G so I connect it to a switch through one of the 4 ports that is not the one labeled Internet.The network looks like this:
Cable Modem --> Netgear Router --> Switch --> WRT54G(port 1)
Laptop --> WRT54G(port 4)
With that cable arrangement I was able to log in to the WRT54G's administration page from my laptop, give the WRT54G a name and change it's IP address to 192.168.1.251. I left the subnet as 255.255.255.0.I also started to configure some other settings, but I did not write them down. I was able to access the Internet from the laptop at that time.
I was also able to move the cable going from the laptop to port 4 on the WRT54G with the WET11 Ethernet Bridge and could access the Internet. And, I was able to remove the bridge, turn on the laptop's wireless capability and access the Internet through a wireless connection to the WRT54G.
I tried to access the WRT54G's admin page wirelessly, but was not able to get to the login screen. I ran out of time and set everything aside for a week. When I got back to it, I was unable to access the WRT54G's loging screen. I can still connect the laptop to port 4 on the WRT54G and reach the Internet, but I cannot do so using the bridge.
Is there some tool I can use to determine the IP address of the WRT54G? I tried resetting (using the button on the back), and I tried several IP addresses in addition to the one I'm pretty sure I used. I'm assuming that I'm trying to log in using the wrong IP address.
I have a second WRT54G that I can still log on to. However, I don't want to do anything with it until I understand what I did wrong with the first one. (Both of them are version 6.)
Another snag is that I was never able to get the setup program to find the WET11. It claimed that it couldn't find the one I had plugged into the laptop's Ethernet port, even though I was able to connect to the Internet using that bridge to the WRT54G. However, that does not work anymore.
Pointers as to what went wrong would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

Constant disconnect with centurytel and wrt54gs

I set up dsl for my parents with centurytel, and linksys wireless router.
they can get online fine but seems like while they are surfing it constantly drops the internet connection. if you go to 192.168.1.1 it shows disconected and you have to either wait for it to reconnect or just hit the connect button.
I have it set up with auto dhcp and the router is set to 192.168.2.1 I have centurytel at my house and work with no problems what so ever, any ideas to remidy this?
I have gotten router update already, checked to make sure all the dsl filters are on all the phone lines. rechecked all the settings, reset both modem and router and started from scratch ect ect. is there something Im missing.
Thanks, John

Connect a computer straight to the modem and check for a static connection...If that does not diconnect you, download the firmware for your router from here , re-connect your modem==>router==>computer...
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device: -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...
Then, unplug the power keep holding down the reset button for another 30 Seconds...
Plug the power back in, and keep holding down the reset button for 30 Seconds...
Release the reset button...Click here and follow the link to re-configure your router...Connection should be fine...

File and print sharing with wrt54g, ver. 6

computers connected to my wrt54g, ver. 6, router (firmware ver 1.01.1) cannot see each other's shared files although they can all share the same internet connection just fine. file and print sharing has been set up on each (they were connected to a wired router before i purchased the wrt54g and they saw each other and shared files, no problem). how can i share files through this router? what went wrong?

Are you running software firewalls on any computer? Has the LAN IP network changed (e.g. it was 192.168.0.* before and now 192.168.1.*)?

Problem with Roles and Triggers

I'm having a strange problem with Roles and Triggers in Oracle. It's a little difficult to describe, so bear with me...
I'm trying to create a trigger that inserts records into a table belonging to a different user/owner. Of course, the owner of this trigger needs rights to insert records into this other table. I find that if I add these rights directly to the owner of the trigger, everything works okay and the trigger compiles successfully.
However, if I first create a Role and grant the "insert" rights to it, and then assign this role to the owner of the trigger, the trigger does not compile successfully.
To illustrate this, here's an example script. I'm using Oracle 10g Release 2...
-- Clean up...
DROP TABLE TestUser.TrigTable;
DROP TABLE TestUser2.TestTable;
DROP ROLE TestRole;
DROP TRIGGER TestUser.TestTrigger;
DROP USER TestUser CASCADE;
DROP USER TestUser2 CASCADE;
-- Create Users...
CREATE USER TestUser IDENTIFIED BY password DEFAULT TABLESPACE "USERS" TEMPORARY TABLESPACE "TEMP" QUOTA UNLIMITED ON "USERS";
CREATE USER TestUser2 IDENTIFIED BY password DEFAULT TABLESPACE "USERS" TEMPORARY TABLESPACE "TEMP" QUOTA UNLIMITED ON "USERS";
CREATE TABLE TestUser.TrigTable (TestColumn VARCHAR2(40));
CREATE TABLE TestUser2.TestTable (TestColumn VARCHAR2(40));
-- Grant Insert rights on TestTable to TestRole...
CREATE ROLE TestRole NOT IDENTIFIED;
GRANT INSERT ON TestUser2.TestTable TO TestRole;
-- Add TestRole to TestUser. TestUser should now have rights to INSERT on TestTable
GRANT TestRole TO TestUser;
ALTER USER TestUser DEFAULT ROLE ALL;
-- Now, create the trigger. This compiles unsuccessfully...
CREATE TRIGGER TestUser.TestTrigger AFTER INSERT ON TestUser.TrigTable
BEGIN
INSERT INTO TestUser2.TestTable (TestColumn) VALUES ('Test');
END;
When I do a "SHOW ERRORS;" after this, I get:
SQL> show errors;
Errors for TRIGGER TESTUSER.TESTTRIGGER:
LINE/COL ERROR
2/3 PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
2/25 PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
SQL>
As I said above, if I just add the Insert rights directly to TestUser, the trigger compiles perfectly. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Thanks!
Adrian

Hi Raghu,
If the insert rights exist only on TestRole, and TestRole is assigned to TestUser, I can do the INSERT statement you suggest with no problems if I just execute it from SQLPlus (logged in as TestUser).
The question is, why does the same INSERT fail when it's inside the trigger?

Both WRT54G and WRT300N stop responding

At one of buildings at our church, we have had a WRT54G acting as an access point. For awhile it would require a reboot about twice a month due to lack of connectivity. About two weeks ago, it would barely function. Our staff could connect to it but connectivity would go down several times a day. After reboot it would work for an hour tops. I pulled out the WRT54G and replace with a WRT300N. The staff experienced the same problem. There are about 8 staff members that connect to the router for LAN and internet access. What could possibly cause the dramatic drop in performance? Given no network changes. When folks connect with wired Ethernet at their desks, they do not experiences any problems. There has been an iMac and an MacBook Pro added to the wireless network. Is it possible at wireless interface is sending spurious/chatty packets? How could I monitor this? An MAC address filter is used for security. No WAP or WPE password security.

try putting the following wireless settings on the router
ssid - any non-linksys name
radio band - wide
n-channel - 9
standard channel - 11
also ensure that the router has the latest firmware on it ..
