Connect E2000 to WRT160N wirelessly?

I ve tried to read previous similat posts but dont quite understand if its possible or not. I just got a linksys E2000 hoping that the signal would reach the whole house includung the backyard pool/area but it doesnt. I want to try to connect my WRT160N wireless ly to the E2000 in hopes that I can place it near a window next to the pool to extend my wireless range. is this possible? If not what are my other options? (outside of the obvious - move the E2000 closer)

You would have to run a cable from that router and get the second router to act like a switch

Having lag problems on the XBOX 360 - connecting to WRT160N wireless router.

Having lag problems when playing on the XBOX 360(wireless connection) after we installed our new WRT160N wireless router. Looking for ideals on how to fix this performance problem?
Cable Conpany: Comcast
Modem Model: zoom
Wireless Router Model: Linksys WRT160N

A few more thoughts:
- Changing the channel settings does NOT achieve anything. I manually tried every setting with no success.
- Changing the encryption settings did not help. I tried "open", WEP and WPA and none of them work.
- Even when this problem shows up, the xbox360 wireless adapter successfully finds and associates with the wireless network. It even manages to read data from the network - it just does it VERY SLOWLY and disconnects often. This causes extreme lag in xbox live games, which shows up as unpredictable play and disconnects from games.
- The fact that G-only mode works fine pretty much proves that this problem can be fixed with a firmware change. The xbox360 wireless adapter and the WRT160N can definately talk to each other using 802.11g successfully so there must be some issue with negotiating the correct version of 802.11x.
- I've considered trying a third-party firmware, such as DD-WRT to see if this fixes the problem. Has anyone tried this and if so what happened?
If you are seeing this problem, please reply to this thread and say so. If enough people respond perhaps Linksys will fix the problem. Even if you're not registered with this board, registering is very quick and easy so don't let that deter you.
Thanks

WRT160N Wireless Connection Crashes

I have a Linksys WRT160N v3 wired/wireless router. It is currently running firmware version 3.0.00 build 010 dated Feb 3, 2009. I have been experiencing issues with the wireless connection dropping while streaming audio/video or while transferring files over the network.
I have 2 desktop PCs which are attached via wired ports 1 and 2 on the router. One of those PCs has a 1.5TB storage drive where I keep my music and videos. I have a MacBook Pro 17 and a PS3 that I connect to the network wirelessly. The MacBook Pro is set up with Boot Camp, running Snow Leopard as well as Windows XP Professional SP3 and has a built-in Atheros 5416 a/b/g/n wireless card. The PS3 is a second generation 120GB model running Sony's latest firmware.
While streaming music or videos or transferring files to either the MacBook or the PS3 from one of the desktop PCs, the wireless connection randomly goes dead. The 2 desktop PCs remain connected and their internet connections remain active. The PS3 displays a network connection error and the MacBook says that no wireless connection is available (this happens in Snow Leopard and Windows XP). The wireless activity indicator light on the router goes out. After 3 to 5 minutes all of my wireless devices are able to reconnect, but if I begin to stream any content, the wireless connection goes dead again.
Both the MacBook and PS3 are able to access the internet and stream online videos (primarily through Netflix) without causing the wireless connection to crash. I have watched entire series through the Netflix streaming service without ever experiencing a wireless crash and watching online content through YouTube or Hulu does not cause the connection to crash. Also, listening to internet radio over the wireless connection does not cause it to crash.
I have tried running the router with Security Mode sent to disabled and with it set to WPA2 Personal-AES. The same crashes occur either way. The Network Mode is set to Mixed (otherwise the PS3 is unable to connect) and the Channel Width and Channel options are set to auto.
Will applying a firmware update solve this problem or are there other tweaks that can be performed to fix this issue? I would prefer not to purchase a new router if there is some way to fix this one. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer.

Before you upgrade the firmware of your Router, try to make some changes on your router and check if that solves your problem or not.
Login to the router setup page and click on the Wireless tab and below change the "Radio Band to : Standard 20MHz" and change the Channel to 11-2.462GHz" and click on Save Settings... Then click on the Sub tab under Wireless "Advance Wireless Settings" and below Change the Beacon Interval to 50,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2201,Change the RTS Threshold to 2202 and Click on Save Settings...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Issue in connecting to the internet wireless with my Linksys

OK. Here's the deal. I am entirely frustrated and also over my head trying to solve this on my own as I have no idea what I'm doing.
I have a Mac Powerbook, OS X (3.9). I have always connected to the internet wirelessly through my Linksys router (Wireless B Access Point, Model Wap 11).
I have recently moved and now use Comcast for my internet. When they installed my internet, I had not yet unpacked my wireless router, so I was set up to be connected via the actual cable plugged in. Now that the router is all set up, I cannot for the life of me get my wireless to work. Currently, I can use the internet wirelessly in other homes/school no problem. In those cases, I don't do anything, I just turn on my computer and it connects automatically. But for some reason in my apartment I cannot make it work.
I *think* the problem lies somewhere in the IP address area? If I look at my Airport settings and go to the TCP/IP tab, there is no information contained on the screen. Meaning, in the area where it says IP Address, Subnet Mask and Router, there is NO data listed, just gray empty space. The same goes for the DNS Servers and Search Domains areas, but at least in that case there is a white box to input text.
I can choose the "Configure IPv4 Using DHCP Manually" and that will let me input numbers, but I have no idea if I should even be playing around with this.
Also, perplexing me even more, is the fact that I can choose my Linksys internet connection through the Airport screen, and when I have selected it, I show full bars. But I can't actually connect.
Silly me, I attempted to call Comcast for help with the issue, but they say that as long as I can connect to the internet in any way (plugged in) then they do not care that I can't connect wirelessly.
I miss checking my email in bed...someone please help!!!
Thanks a million in advance for any and all help.

Are u talking about routers username , password? Well there is one routers username ,password (default is "admin") and the other is your cable ISP username , password (on the routers webpage). I am talking about the latter. If nothing works, try resetting your router ... You will have to configure it again (doesnt take much time if you know it).

My Canon MX 922 does not scan. My printer is connected via cable. Wireless doesn't work either.

My Canon MX 922 does not scan. My printer is connected via cable. Wireless doesn't work either. I get an error message with multiple suggestions but none of them apply to my situation.
I am so dissatisfied with this printer. I'm sorry I got it from Amazon because now it is a hassle to return it. I will never buy another Canon.
The printer menus are confusing. I hate using it. I loved my previous Canon which finally stopped working after many years, that's why I purchased a newer Canon model. Never again. Stick with cameras.
Marcy Hotz

This note won't be as angry and frustrated as the last one...
Because I still had my old printer drivers and other applications on my hard drive, I think the application was trying to connect with the old printer. I deleted all the old stuff.
I also had several scanning applications on my drive which just confused me.
When I used the actual Canon MX922 application, I was able to scan but could only save as JPG, TIF or BMP (and one more, I forget which). So I did some research on the Canon site and found out how to save documents as PDF files using the Canon IJ Scan Utility.
It works now. So I'm satisfied, will keep this maching. I just had to take some time, sit down and focus on the problem.

When I connect to the hotel wireless, it takes 2 or 3 minutes to be redirected to the login page

Hi all,
I have a problem with my Firefox 4 beta: when I connect to the hotel wireless, and I start the browser, I should be automatically redirected to the hotel's main login page.
In FF4b I get 2 error messages (attached) and I am not redirected immediately... it takes 2 or 3 minutes to be redirected.
If I don't want to wait I have to start IE, make the login, and then get back to FF4b.
I believe this situation is connected with the "Test Pilot" and/or the "sync" function of FF...
Any ideas about what I should do? Any setting I should change?
Thanks,
Tozé

My Satellite A25-S279 (WinXP) will not connect to the internet wirelessly since UVerse was installed

My Satellite A25-S279 (WinXP) will not connect to the internet wirelessly since UVerse was installed. (Rather, I should say
it 'connects', then immediately disconnects.) When I had regular DSL, there was no problem, but since UVerse installation,
I can connect ONLY with the ethernet cable.
Thinking it was my 'old' computer, I took it to the local computer place---they were able to connect instantly (wirelessly) AND maintain connection. Sooo...I've told this to ATT, & had 2 different techs out here, both of whom were very patient & tried EVERYTHING they could think of, & both of whom failed to fix the problem. They maintain that it is NOT the fault of the modem/router, but is some 'miscommunication' between my laptop & the modem/router.
Is that possible? Is there a setting I need to change on the laptop? If it worked BEFORE UVerse, and if it STILL works at the Computer store, and if it works WITH the cable, why won't it connect wirelessly?
Thank you SO much for any thoughts!

It is possible. While it's not common, sometimes you could have a working router and a working wireless card in a laptop, but they just don't communicate. It sounds like that might be the problem unfortunately.

? possible to connect AEBS to existing wireless internet connection

Hi
I have a cable connection to a Netgear W614 wireless router and can connect to the internet wirelessly using my MBP.
What I would like to do is have an airport extreme in a separate room with a printer connected to it connected to the same wireless network. What I hope to do is be able to connect wirelessly to the internet through my Netgear ( as I have been doing) but have wireless access to the printer connected to the AEBS.
I seem to be able to see how to "set this up" if the AEBS is hardwire connected to the netgear ( and thus the internet) but this defeats the purpose for me as I want to have the Netgear and the AEBS in separate rooms. I cant seem to see how to get the AEBS to wirelessly connect to the network and share the printer and yet retain internet connection through the Netgear.
Is this setup possible e.g MBP connected to a wireless network which has a Netgear wireless router connected to the internet and a AEBS connected to a printer in diffrerent rooms?
Cheers

Hello RichwhG. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
To connect the AEBS to the Belkin, wirelessly, in order to extend the Belkin's wireless network, you would have to establish a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) between the two.
Unfortunately, most non-AirPort routers are not compatible with Apple's implementation of WDS...so it very unlikely that your router can be extended wirelessly with the AEBS.
The few that are known to work are:
o Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not v5)
o Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
o BT Voyager 2091
o Netgear WGR614 v6
o Buffalo WGR-G54
The other option is to configure the AEBS as it's own wireless network to share the printer, but you would then have to switch wireless networks between Internet access or for printing.

Ipod touch 1st generation can't connect to my linksys wireless router wr110. THe signal is strong and there is a check mark beside my network name, but when I try to open safari it says "unable to find server".

My friends MacBook connected easily to my wireless, but why not the ipod touch? When prompted for "Password" I enter the security key info and nothing, nadda....zip. The MacBook asks for the "Security Key" info not "Password", like the touch. What's the difference?

Click on the blue arrow to the right of the network name, if IP address starts with "169." ,restart your router. It should connect properly after your router reboots in a minute or two.

Turn off your firewall and antivirus software.

My iPad will no longer connect to my Linksys wireless router. Every other electronic device in our house connects just fine. What can I do?

I have an iPad (the earliest version) that used to connect to my Linksys wireless router with no difficulty. One night recently I could not get on the internet through my iPad. I checked the Wi-Fi information, which said it was not connected.When I go through the process of choosing a network, on which my home system is clearly listed along with a very strong signal strength, I am told that my iPad is unable to join my own network. All the other electronic devices in our house are connected and functioning fine. Can anyone walk me through the steps to correct this problem?
I need to add that I took my iPad to the Appple store, and the clerk there reset something--I don't know what--and my iPad was able to connect to their network. When I came home, though, I was not able to connect to my home network.

If everything else is connecting with no issues, I would go into the wifi setting on the iPad and redo the info there, user, password and anything else related to your wifi at your house.
It is possible whatever he reset may have reset something to default setting which will not allow it to connect. If you need too then verify the wifi setting by comparing it with another device setting that works on your home network.
Good luck

TS1398 I can no longer connect to my home wireless on my ipad2, have done all the suggested fixes, still cannot connect. Daughter cannot connect her iPod, but husbands laptop is connected to wireless.

All of a sudden my ipad will not connect to our home wireless. I have reset the wireless settings, turned my ipad off and back on, turned off wireless and back on, basically have done all of the fixes suggested and still I cannot connect. My daughter cannot connect her iPod either, but my husbands laptop can and is connected to our wireless. The wireless is working and until two days ago I had no problems connecting.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Brand new ipod/itouch 4th generation won't connect to available hm wireless

I have a new 4th generation ipod touch. I also have a new computer using windows 7. I have set up the computer and wireless is working great. I have set up and synched the ipod to itunes without problems however, I cannot connect to my home wireless network. I have done the network reset. There is no option to "forget this network" that comes up when I click the arrow. I cannot access the support document that you provide in other links because it says it is "damaged". I have my wireless network password protected but my itouch will not accept the password. I know the password I am entering is correct because I used it to join my new computer to wireless and that worked fine. I have tried about 20 times to enter the password so I know that it is correct and it will not join. Please help.

I've looked at those documents...that's how I knew to try all of those other fixes.
It is a linksys. That should not be an issue...as I said, it works fine with my brand new Asus Windows 7 computer.
A few things:
If you have read the Apple documents why did you say, "I cannot access the support document that you provide in other links because it says it is 'damaged'."? Also, who is you ?
Testing the iPod Touch WiFi on another network will give you a baseline as to whether the WiFi in your iPod Touch is working at all. If it doesn't work on other networks then it may need service/replacement.
What model Linksys router do you have? What kind of security are you using WEP, WPA, WPA2? How is it configured? (see my previous post for what's relevant). Is it 802.11g?, 802.11n? Do you have the latest router firmware?
Note also that just because one device seems to work OK on a WiFi network doesn't prove that the network is golden. Not all devices use the same features of the Wireless 802.11g/n protocols. Low-power devices are different than desktop computers.
Have you tried testing with security turned off? (This check is suggested in the Apple documents).
