Connecting a WRT150N (wireless) into a BEFSR41V3 (wired)

I have an existing wired BEFSR41V3 router with 4 used ports.  This router in located in the basement near the modem.
I also have 2 portable computer with wireless cards, and bought a new WRT150N router (wireless).  In order to get the maximum range from the new router, I want to install the WRT150N on the ground floor, where I have 2 wired point.
Can I keep the BEFSR41 as existing and use the 4th point as a bridge been the 2 router?  I would endup with a cascading network:
Modem connected to BEFSR41
BEFSR41 connected to 3 points and the WRT150N
If I do this I may need to change the IP address of one router to avoid conflicting IP addresses. 

I Have Had to do this aswell,
what i did is have my first router(linksys wrt54g) Ip address set to 192.168.2.1
and my second router(linksys wrt150n) IP set to 10.0.2.1
ad it is working fine for me so im guessing this will work fine for you.
Thanks

  • Time Capsule - Can it run as DHCP router, create a wireless network and plug into switch for wired network all at the same time?

    I have a closet with Wired connections from all over the house terminating in it. I also have the internet modem and a switch in this closet. My old setup was a netgear in the closet creating a wireless network and also feeding the Ethernet ports all over the house. In my room, I had an Airport express (a month old) bridging the wifi to make the wifi network larger. The Express was hard wired from the wall and my mac mini was using it's wifi (printer was plugged into other ethernet port). Everything was working great.
    Fast forward to last week. My Netgear died. So, I bought a time capsule. My plan was to move the Express to the closet and have it create the wifi network and also then run cat 5 cord from express to the switch to feed all the wired wall plugs. Reset it and set it up to create the wifi network as well as DCHP NAT. Wireless was running great on it. Then I plugged in the Cat 5 in the second Ethernet Port to the switch. Wifi stopped working and none of the computers would connect using wired connections either. They would see a 'network' but nothing would work. I would unplug the Cat 5 feeding the swtich and the wireless would start working again. Plug the Cat 5 back in and wireless would stop.
    So I thought I would try the Time Capsule in the closet and see if I could get it to work. Pretty much the same thing, except at this point I figured out if I went in and told it NOT to create a wifi network the wired portion worked fine and all the wired computers in the house worked fine. Of course, then I didn't have Wifi.
    I'm not clueless when it comes to networking, but I can NOT figure this out! Can either the Time Capsule or Express Create the wifi network AND also feed the data to the switch for all the wired computers?
    To simplify this is what I want my end result to be. I prefer the Time Capsule to be the wireless connection extender, but if I have to have the Express do it, I'm fine with that.
    1. Express in the closet creating the wifi network as well as feeding the data to the wired connections via my switch.
    2. have the Time capsule in my room at the opposite end of the house plugged into the hard wired connection to extend the wrieless network as well as have wired connections such as my printer and my Mac Mini.
    If I can get #1 to work, I don't think I'll have any problems with #2. Help!

    I have an equally complex setup with a managed switch actually but I have never seen the TC have this kind of issue.
    What I do notice is you have changed the TC from defaults.. you are using a non-default IP range.
    I have run across issues like this where people move things from default.
    I would like you to start over.. factory reset the TC. That will set it back to default router mode.
    Do the min setup on the TC..
    1. Change all names from what you were using. That includes the TC name and wireless name/s
    Make them short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric because that is the correct way to network. Apple default names with spaces and apostrophes are fundamentally bad.
    2. With just the TC plugged into the switch.. and a single computer connected by ethernet. Power cycle the whole network.. this allows the switch to clear all the old MAC address.
    3. Test on the computer just ethernet. Turn the wireless off.
    The computer must use dhcp and must get an ip from the TC.
    It has to get the correct Router.. ie Gateway.. I wish apple could stick with proper network terminology.
    And it must get same address or valid DNS server address/es.
    If it fails.. please plug ethernet directly to the TC.. bypassing the switch.
    You should get the standard IP addressing and internet connection.
    If not please post the screenshot from the Mac of the network preferences showing the ethernet setup.
    I need to see what address it does get. I need you to make sure the ethernet is the TOP of the list. So rearrange the order of network connection. With the airport off it should just go to the top of the list.
    If it appears to be working .. but a browser cannot connect, open a terminal and ping an internet address.
    Ping the actual gateway address the ISP gives you and ping the ISP dns address.

  • Connection between Wireless network (shared) and wired network through a router/modem

    I have a windows 8.1 X64 installed on my pc. i have connected a USB wireless network adapter to it so that i can connect to another wireless
    network. my internet connection comes from this device as well.
    I've got a Modem/router/AP (TD-W8970) and i set it up to work as wireless router with DHCP server enabled. i wanted to share my internet
    connection that comes from wireless network adapter in home so i did the followings:
    1. connected the WAN port of my router to the Ethernet port of my PC.
    2. in windows' network adapter settings i shared my wireless network adapter's connection with the Ethernet port.
    now i can connect with my laptop to my wireless router and use internet connection that is being shared by PC's wireless adapter but i
    can't connect to the PC in order to have a home group with it or use the shared files/folders in PC.
    More Details:
    Wireless network adapter local settings:
    IPv4 Default Gateway/ DNS server/ DHCP server = 192.168.1.1
    IPv4 address: 192.168.1.4 - IPv4 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    Ethernet
    port settings:
    IPv4 address: 192.168.137.1
    IPv4 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 .
    my question is how to make that connection like a LAN and what configuration do i need to apply on both router or PC.
    Thanks in Advance!

    Hi,
    Please try the following steps for test to configure your network sharing.
    1. Open CMD, type ipconfig/all. Then remember USB wireless card DNS server address.
    2. Open Network Connection, Change Adapter settings, USB adapter properties, check network sharing.
    3. Open Local network connection, generally speaking, Router's default lan address is 192.168.1.1, you can asign the desktop PC IP as 192.168.1.2.
    4. Access into Router management interface, then enable router's DHCP service. Set its gateway same as sharing host address, DNS server same as USB wlan's DNS server address.

    It's very easy to update firmware; read the manual that comes with the router?

  • Is there any way to connect my Apple wireless/bluetooth trackpad and keyboard to my Mac Mini without using a wired or usb keyboard?

    Is there any way to connect my Apple wireless/bluetooth trackpad and keyboard to my Mac Mini without using a wired or usb keyboard?

    Well, I read that already, but I am trying to start up my Mac mini(new purchase) and I cannot get to all the system preferences etc since I cannot get past the startup screens. The site also mentioned waiting to turn on the keyboard until a language was requested. Neither language screen worked. I feel as though I'm just about ready to throw in the towel.

  • Can I turn off the wireless and use the wired connections at the same time?

    Can I turn off the wireless and use the wired connections at the same time?
    This is to avoid transmission when I work without the need for wireless

    Yes, you can. Just open the web interface of the router. On your browser type the IP address of your router, usually http://192.168.1.1 go to wireless tab and disable it.

  • Can no longer connect to encripted wireless.

    Hello,
    I am running a wired and WPA TKIP Encripted wireless network through a WRT350N and Netopia DSL modem. I have a Western Digital Mybook Premium 500GB hard drive connected for storage.
    The system had included 2 XP Home PCs one using a Linksys WMP54GS Wireless PCI adapter and the other using a Netgear “G” USB adapter configured through Windows since the Netgear software would only do WEP.  There are also 2 laptops one being an older model with the Linksys “G” PCMCIA and a newer Core2Duo using Intel Proset.
    February I built a New PC which I connected via CAT5 which required moving the WRT350N, modem and 500GB MyBook into the computer room. In this room we also have our Dual mode 2.4 Ghz Linksys CIT300 Skype phone and our 2.4Ghz main phone. The new PC also has a Logitech G7 mouse using 2.4Ghz wireless. Everything ran smoothly for just over a month.
     Around the same time as the start of the network connection Issues I swapped the Motherboard in the New PC with an SLI version and set the machine back up still using CAT5 and no wireless.
    I cannot say for certain that we didn’t have any issues before the time of the swap but it did become very noticeable around the same time and I just want to cover all the bases.
    What happened is the wireless PCs slowed down a bit and then the Netgear connected PC started to have disconnect issues that were very noticeable since it was the machine that pulls our e-mail. We then noticed the Linksys G Desktop having connection speed issues and then finally all the wireless machines will no longer connect via encrypted wireless at all. If I reset the Router they connect without a problem. I can change the SSID and turn off the SSID Broadcast without a problem but the moment I turn on WPA Personal, TKIP, and set a password they all lose connection and will refuse to connect. I have sat down at each machine and deleted the wireless profiles and set them up with all the same SSID, Security, and keys but they will not connect.
    I even ran Net Stumbler on my Laptop to look for other wireless networks but only find one on Channel 11. Mine shows up too but at Channel 1 using the 40Mhz channel. Network mode is set to Mixed, Radio band is auto, Wide Channel is auto, Standard channel is also Auto.  
    Is there anything else I may be missing? I have reset the router many times and have tried restoring from saved configurations but nothing works at all. The only thing that works now is the wired connection. L
    I sure hope Linksys reads these forums because they sure do not read their tech support e-mails!
    I look forward to any help.
    Thanks,
    Martin

    First of all, re-download and re-install the latest firmware for your router.  After installing the latest firmware, make sure you reset the router to factory defaults, then set up the router from scratch.
    Next, make sure you have a unique SSID (don't use "linksys" ), and turn on SSID broadcast.  Turning on SSID broadcast makes it easier for your computers to find and stay connected to your router.   I used to recommend that SSID broadcast be turned off for security reasons, but this is no longer required because new "cracking" techniques have made this old trick useless.
    As a test, turn off all your 2.4 GHz devices and unplug them from the wall.  This would include your phones, wireless mouse, and any Bluetooth, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless keyboards, etc.   Also, turn off any 5+ GHz phones, as some of these also use the 2.4 GHz band.   See if this makes a difference.
    Since your Netgear "would only do WEP", I don't understand how you ever got it to work before with WPA encryption.  Please explain.  Are you saying that the Windows software was doing the WPA for you? 
    Update you computers with the latest drivers for your wireless adapters.
    As infinityx mentioned, update Windows XP to at least SP2.
    It sounds like you may have the Intel Pro Wireless 2200bg card.  If so, this card is known to have connection problems.  The problems with this card worsened with a recent Windows update, but were fixed with the latest driver.  Go to the Intel web site and download and install the latest drivers.
    Also, you can try another channel on your router.  Since you have a neighbor on 11, try any channel 1 thru 6.  (Always try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors.).

  • How to connect a E1200 wireless router to a machine tool network for wireless communications

    Hello all, I am new to the forum, hope someone can help me out. I am wanting to connect my E1200 wireless router to a machine tool in our factory that has programmable controllers and is connected to the machine components via ethernet connections. This is so we can troubleshoot the machine without having a wired laptop. We have several ethernet switches on the machine and a range of IP addresses say from 192.16.1.1 through 192.16.1.150, and 192.16.17.1 through 192.16.17.150, all of the addresses are not used but random addresses in the range. I would like to be able to connect my E1200 to either one of the networks without having to make a change in the router setup. I can make it work on either network but when I switch my cable to the other network it has to be reconfigured. I am currently connecting my data cable to a ethernet port on the router and changing my router address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.16.1.1 and selecting a range of 150 so it will assign numbers as needed. This works great until I change to the other network and I have to change my router address to 192.16.17.1, I know this can be done on some routers because the technicians from the machine builder use them when working on the machines. thanks

    On the basic setup tab make the changes shown below:
    This basically make the router disappear off the existing networks and turns it into a wireless AP.
    Then when you set your laptop's wireless adapter to whatever IP network you want to connect to.
    If you need to connect to your router again change the laptop's adapter IP to something like 192.168.200.2
    Keep in mind nothing ever gets plugged into the Internet Port on the router.
    What I do with these manufacturing machine's is put them on the company network with static IP's. Then so operators can transfer programs and view drawings I place ELO touchscreens at each location. For the Laser cutter operators that do nesting they have a desktop workstation for the CAD software and put the nests on a network share or direct to the laser cutters.

  • Can't connect to internet wirelessly with WRT120N router

    ok, it's nearly 4am and i've been trouble shooting this problem since 11pm... love the technology, but it completely evil...
    let me start off by saying i'm not too tech savy. took a couple computer courses in high school and thought it was my passion but they got way above my head in college, so i settled for art (those classes are much easier to pass as long as you draw your homerwork, don't blow up your sculpture etc etc)
    anywho, i bought a brand new computer today since i play wow and my old computer was nearing on a decade old and had nearly a dozen manufactury resets from all the viruses from downloaded music. i don't know the make of the new computer (just spent like five minutes looking over the box and it doesn't seem to say) and i literally walked into best buy and walked right up to the computer department store head and said, "which computer should i buy to play wow on for less than $600." he thought for like thirty seconds and pointed to an ASUS and i immediately bought it. took it home, watched tv for a couple hours, then went to set it up since i had a raid in like two hours, thinking, "brand new computer, nothing's gonna go wrong!..." 
    well it did. my router gives me grief from time to time, so i spent the first hour unplugging, resetting, refreshing (i think that's what the button by the blue lights that has the circling arrows does) and nothing. so then off to the interweb since... oh! this might be important! the one computer i'm on now that has a hardwired connection is running normally, not great, normally. and i just checked my mom's ipad, it's on the network too. my phone, a samsung galaxy s 4 had been connected since i had it, and decided to stop connecting when at least until i noticed i couldn't connect my new desktop and my gf's phone, an iphone 4 wouldn't connect either... in total, i think there's one wired desktop connection, my fail wireless desktop connection, wireless laptop that hasn't been opened in months, an at&t signal booster, an ipad, and 4 phones that connect when they feel up to it. my old iphone 4 i ran on 3g because it was more reliable than my wireless. there's never more than 3 devices running at once. i've seen a few threads mentioning too many devices on one network. could that be it? i hope not. we have comcast as a provider too, if that helps.
    oh, and maybe i should describe my problem more clearly. on my phone, when i go to the wifi settings, it still list my network as one i'm linked too, it's just "not in range" and my new desktop can't see it at all. pretty sure it's not a hidden ssid because i connected my phone to it recently and had no probs. also, i'm fairly, but by no means 100%, certain that it's not the wireless card in the computer because i can see a few other networks and my phone had already been on it without giving me problems until earlier today. 
    if you know how to help, please be thorough in explaining it, and if i need to give more info, i'll try my damnest. please please please!!! help me, i spent all my money on this **bleep** computer and don't have anymore to buy another new router.

    Hi there. To start, that blue button that you have been pressing on the router is the Wifi Protected Setup button. You press that button when you want to connect a new wireless device that supports Wifi-Protected Setup to connect to the wireless internet via your wireless router without having to enter anything on the new wireless device. So it means, you did not reset the router. I would like to verify with you though because it is not clear to me (sorry), how do you want your new desktop computer to work? Wirelessly or with Ethernet cable plugged-in? If it is for wireless, you will only need to connect the computer’s wireless connection to the router wireless network and to enter the wireless password if you have wireless security enabled on the router. Also, the router should be able to provide simultaneously internet connection to multiple devices – be it wired or wireless. Sometimes the reason why the wireless would not work is when there is wireless interference in the area that you will need to change its wireless channel to something else. To have wireless security enabled on the router is helpful as well in making sure that the router will provide a better connection speed.

  • Is this a dropping connection or a wireless issue....

    Hi all,
    We've been having some problems with our Infinity setup for a few months now and it's getting a bit annoying, I could use some help in fixing it
    So, every evening (could be daytime too, we dont use it then really) our connection seems to drop every 10 mins or so. If I'm gaming, it will drop me out of a game and I'll have to reconnect. I can usually reconnect in seconds. If we're watching Netfilx, it will stop, and restart a few minutes later...
    Oddly, the blue Hub lights (HH3 I believe) never falter, solid blue throughout.
    Restarting the router (and white box thingy) works pretty much everytime - and only occasionally are we disconnected for more than a few minutes.
    The setup is Infinity 2 I think, into the master socket. I'm running a handful of Apple devices, a home server, a Mac and a PS3. Probably important that none of these devices have changed at all location, spec or otherwise.
    Occasionally my server cannot be found on the network either, despite it running continuously - a restart usually cures this but would it point to a dodgy router? (it's a wired connection,so no wireless issue)
    I'm guessing I need to run some tests but not sure what?
    I did try and call BT Support a while ago, but the chap said he couldn't help me because my Mac Air has no ethernet cable, just wireless

    seems to me like a faulty router or modem mate, to make sure its not actually dropping fully you will want to login to the router page using 192.168.1.254 then going to troubleshooting and then helpdesk and it will tell you the uptime. login with the password which should be on the back of your router. do this when the wireless next drops. btw dont keep resetting the white modem, it will cause your speeds to drop as it will think its a line fault, just reset the homehub. if the uptime is less then 2 mins then its dropping fully, if its more than than lets say 1 hour for example (and you reset it one hour ago before the wireless dropped) then its most likely just the router being faulty.

  • Airport Express can't connect back to wireless network

    Here's the situation. There was a power glitch in our neighborhood that knocked our linksys wireless router offline. We have since gotten that back up and running. Meanwhile, our 2 Airport Express (used for iTunes only) went yellow and wouldn't rejoin the network with a hard reset. I have been trying to do the factory reset. The lights do their 4 green blinks but when the Airport Utility (not Airport Setup Utility - is that gone?) tries to rejoin the expresses to our wireless network we get the following error:
    AirPort Utility was unable to find your base station after restarting.
    The settings for this base station have been successfully updated, but there was a problem re-joining the wireless network or finding the base station. You may need to select your network from the AirPort menu and try again.
    I am confused. We are using WPA2 personal encryption and I have included that info in the Airport Utility so it's not a password problem. I am sure I'm missing something completely stupid.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

  • HELP - Vista won't connect to WRT150N

    I just installed a new WRT150N and have Windows XP, Mac OSX, and Linux boxes connecting just fine. The XP and Mac machine's are wireless, the rest are wired. But I have one Vista machine that won't connect wireless. I think it has to do with the SSID which is not showing up correctly on Vista. The router has the default 'linksys' SSID, but on Vista it shows up as just 'li'. I've tried to create a new connection with the correct SSID but can't seem to get rid of the old one or find a way to correct it. Anyone know if this is a known problem and/or how to fix it? Thanks, Steve

    For the record I got this working by doing two things...not sure which actually fixed it as I did them both and haven't tried to narrow it down. 1) Upgraded the bios (I'm hoping this is what fixed it) 2) In the wireless settings, changed the Network Mode from 'Mixed' to 'BG-Mixed'. This works for me as I only have G wireless cards at the moment. I haven't tried setting this back to Mixed to see if its just the bios that fixed it. Hope this helps someone else... - Steve

  • WPC300N lost connection to WRT150N after router firmware update

    This is my second WRT150N in a week: out of the box it worked great, and then I updated the firmware to 1.01.9 (which is basically the same) and now my laptop WPC300N adapter can't connect to the WRT150N router! Anyone know how I can fix this? Set up: DSL modem connected to WRT150N WRT150N connected to desktop by wire. Laptop with WPC300N connect to router wirelessly. Thanks!

    Yes I did updates on both router and adapter, but the original firmware on the router was basically the same as the one posted on Linksys web site (which I downloaded and used to updated it). On the first router that I bought, I followed the CD instructions and did the firmware update right away, and ran into the exact same problem. I did not have a chance to test to see if would work out-of-the-box. Now, the adapter just sits there with the "Act" light blinking regularly.

  • My HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 won't connect to my wireless router

    This is bizarre.  I have had my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 for about 6 months.  It has generally worked fine, and we have used it wirelessly only.  But now it refuses to connect to the router.  It can FIND the router, and it can find other networks in the area, but it won't connect to the router.  I ran the Wireless Network Test, and the results say:
    Wireless On - Pass // Wireless Working - Pass //
    Network Name (SSID) found - Pass //  Wireless Networks Detected - 9
    Printer Settings Consistent with Wireless Router Settings - Pass / No Filtering - FAIL //
    So it recommends solution as follows: "1 If MAC Address filtering is enabled, and you would like to keep it enabled, you must add the Mac address of your printer to the list of permitted devices for your router before continuing."
    Except, guess what, I don't have MAC Address filtering enabled.  I wouldn't know how to do that, much less check for it.
    Also, before today, this was never a problem.  HELP!
    Thanks....
    If you are interested, here's more detail and background.  
    Before today, the only problem we have had is that frequently our Apple laptop (OS X 10.6) has trouble connecting to the printer.  This has been odd because the printer is connected to the network, and so is the laptop, but the laptop can't find the printer - it thinks the printer is "offline" (even though it's not).  Usually, if I wait a while, it will find the printer, and it will resolve itself work fine.  If not, we sometimes have found that it can fix itself if you restart the laptop -- restarting the printer does not make a difference.   In fact, I did exactly that today, and it resolved itself.  And I printed.  Fine, right?
    But then I wanted to do more printing, and the problem of the laptop not finding the printer came up again, so I decided to really "get to the bottom of this."  I don't remember exactly what I did, but somehow I was persuaded by the online help, that the correct solution would be to go into my System Preferences / Print and Fax, and click on the "-", which de-installs the printer, with the idea of re-installing the printer.  But then when I tried to re-install the printer, it could not find the printer.  Ugh!  Wierdly, it found an 8600 Scanner, but not an 8600 printers.  After installing and de-installing the 8600 scanner a few times, I eventually deinstalled everything, and I decided to start from scratch.  I got my HP disk, and installed all the software again from the beginning (even though it was already there), and then it looked for my printer, but couldn't find it.  So then I got a USB cord, and plugged that in.
    So, now I have a situation where I do have a working printer via the USB cord, but no wireless connection at all.  In particular, since the Office Jet Pro 8600 won't connect to the router, I don't know what else to do.  My Apple MacBook pro is 2 feet away from the printer, and it is connected to the router just fine (as is my blackberry), and I have never before had a problem connecting to the wireless router by the printer.
    Any suggestions?

    There are two things that can trip the mac filtering test to fail:  actual MAC address filtering setup (sounds like this is not the case) and using wireless channel 6 or automatic for wireless channel in the wireless network settings (in the router).  Since it does show failed for MAC filtering and you do not use this option, try changing the wireless channel in the router to 1 or 11.  Those two channels provide the best compatibility with printers due to less interference.  Almost everything defaults to auto or 6 for the channel and this causes a lot of interference.  This change should not affect anything at all.  To do this, you may need to contact the router manufacturer as the process differs from router to router.
    What brand and model is the router?
    Has anything in the network settings changed at all?
    What version is the Mac OS X?  There may be additional steps to take as it sounds like there are two separate issues involved and this could be revisited later.

    Hi all, I received a new 16gb iPod Touch over the weekend. I don't have a PC or an Apple computer around, so I went down to the Apple store and they activated my iPod for me. Cool. Now I want to buy some songs from the Wi-fi store, but it looks like
