Connecting a wrt610n and netgear wnr2000v2 in wireless repeater mode

I am having trouble getting the wrt610n to connect to the wnr2000v2 that can be set a  wireless repeater.  I had a 160n hooked up and it was working fine, but am unable to get the 610n going on it.  I'm kinda new to setting this type of networking up , but have a general idea of how it works.  I have the 610n running and is broadcasting a signal, but the wnr 2000 will not connect to it wirelssly and repeat it.  The setup in the netgear is pretty basic , but I am new to the linksys 610n and the interface that's why I believe it has to do with the 610n.  Could someone please walk through the settings for me?  Any help would be appreciated.

So as per the scenario that you mentioned according to that could you please tell us the name of the ISP ( Internet Service Provider ).... As it all depends up the ISP ( Internet Service Provider ) setup....  Secondly check the firmware version of the Router is updated or not if it is not then it can be downloaded from the Cisco website (homesupport.cisco.com ).... Once after updating the firmware reset the Router and configure it again...
As far as wireless is concern WRT610N Router is dual-band Wireless-N Router... So that it means it has 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
frequencies...
As far as wireless settings is concern you can use same wireless network name or even you can use different network name...
For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161..
So these settings are sufficient to make the Netgear  WNR2000 v2 as a repeater mode...

  • Trying to connect a WRT610N and a wrt54gs2

    I have a wrt610n and a wrt54gs2 w/speedboost and for the life of me i cannot figure out how to make these two routers operate on the same network...im am trying to have the 54gs2 act as a signal booster but they will not communicate wirelessly. 1st off is it possible and if so can you help?

    A Linksys WRT wireless router won't connect wireless to other wireless access points. A WRT won't operate as wireless bridge or wireless repeater.
    Check if you can install 3rd party firmware like dd-wrt or tomato on your router. 3rd party firmware usually adds bridging and repeating capabilities. However, please note that a bad flash with 3rd party firmware may brick your router and it's not covered by warranty.

  • WRT610N with netgear DG834gt in modem only mode - HELP!!!

    Hi all,
    As the title suggest, I need some help configuring the 610N to work with my previous modem / router DG834gt.
    So far I’ve tried:
    Setting the DG834gt in modem only mode.  It connects to my ISP no problem.  I’ve then connected it to the internet port on the 610N and set it to PPOE.
    I’ve set up the user name and password correctly and hit connect….Nothing.  It seem strange that I have to config the modem with the user / pass and the router, should I try to set it up as static or dynamic IP.
    What am I doing wrong???

    Hi... thanks for the reply and sorry for the bad explanation.
    I've set the connection type on  WRT610N as PPPoE.  The Netgear has a modem only mode accessed through a hidden menu ( http://vpncasestudy.com/download/DG/DG834_Tips100.pdf ) When in this mode it's apparently invisible.
    There's no DHCP or wireless, it literally makes the connection and nothing else. 
    You have to add the login credentials for your ISP into the modem, the modem makes the connection - my problem is working out how to configure the 610N to connect through the modem, if at all possible.
    Hope you can help - thanks.

  • HP LaserJet 6p and NetGear PS-101 Wireless Setup Driver Issue???

    Does any one out there know how to make this combination work?
    I use it on my wireless network all the time for PC's but can not get it to function properly on my iMac. The NetGear is plugged in the back of mp Laser Jet and a Cat 5 connects to my Belkin Pre-N Router.
    IM definetely able to talk to it, but all I get is gibberish and multiple pages spit out of my laser jet.
    I have selected and tried the following setings: Apple Talk, IPP, HP Jet select and the LPD dameon. All do the same thing.
    Been to HP site looking for a fix. I think the drivers in the HP list are the problem. Infact some are GIMP beta's.
    ID just love to get this working as theres so much I would like to print to learn this OS and get use to the Mac World.
    I love this iMac and can't wait to migrate completely away from Windows.
    Appreciate any advice or suggestions that one may have and Thanks!

    Driver - Only CUPS drivers can use OS X's built-in network printing protocols. (postscript printers don't need a driver, just a PPD) Of all the non-postscript manufacturers, only Brother is making CUPS drivers available at this time. (Apple included Gimp-Print drivers because they are CUPS drivers - a limited number of printers are supported) Your Laserjet 6P is supported by the HP Laserjet 6 Series, Gimp-Print driver.
    Next - print server setup. Since the Windows setup software doesn't work on OS X, we need to find the setup details ourselves. Your print server probably supports a couple of protocols- LPD, maybe IPP, and HP Jetdirect (called TCP/IP raw in most manuals). LPD and IPP require that you enter the print server's queue name in Printer Setup. Find the Queue name in the manual. L1, lpt1 and lp are common queue names.
    Hope this helps.

    Hello! I had lost my iPod touch for several months and finally found it. However, I didn't remember the passcode. Now it's disabled and says to connect to iTunes. iTunes is saying that I must enter in the passcode before it can connect. I tried following apple's instructions on putting it in recovery mode, but when the home button is held down, only the apple logo appears until the disabled screen comes up again.
    Any suggestions?

  • WRT610N - Wireless repeater

    Can i make a wrt610n a repeater using a e4200 as a base?

    Hello. The WRT610N will not communicate wirelessly as it does not have a wireless repeater mode. Even if you disable DHCP server, it will just act as an AP (access point) accepting wireless clients but will not connect to a base or another AP/router wirelessly.

  • Airport Express as wireless repeater

    Hi all, just wondering if anyone could give me a hand. I have just bought an Airport Express (not arrived just yet) not just for streaming music, but for extending my network. I am a student and have just moved into my new house. The internet here already is fine, the people here before me have given me the password to the encryption but not to the account or the router. This will all change in September, however. The router is a Netgear DG834PN. My iMac is having difficulty connecting to the network, I think this is due to the distance it is away from the router, as when I connect the iMac upstairs (nearer to it) it connects fine, hence the desire for a wireless repeater. Will I be able to use the Airport Express as a repeater? If not, what must I do? Must I get an Apple wireless router as well? Will a time capsule be fine? Please remember I cannot access the DG834PN's graphical interface at all.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jake

    You will need to run an ethernet cable from the netgear to your airport express. then setup the airpor express as an access point. As you don't have access to the WebUI of the router then you wont be able to setup the airport express as a WDS or wireless repeater.
    The other option would be to connect a timecapsule to the router via ethernet. Setup the time capsule as a bridge to the router. Then you would be able to extend the wireless network with an airport express.

  • WAP54G Wireless Repeater still has problems after setup

    I have a WAP54G configured as a Wireless Repeater to my WRT54GS router.  I have configured all equipment on my  wireless network (192.169.1.xxx) with static IP's.  My Router MAC has been entered in the WAP54G and the link works . . . kinda . . . .sorta. . . .with issues
    I also have an A/V receiver hard-wired to the RJ-45 at the Wireless Repeater.  I am able to access Internet Radio stations on the A/V Receiver thru the Wireless Repeater uplinked to the Router and out to Internet.  I also have a Synology NAS which is hard-wired back at my WRT54GS router.  Although the A/V Receiver can "see" all audio files and folders on my network NAS, I am unable to play any of the MP3 files.  The Receiver will immediately display "Access Error".  As a test, if I temporarily plug the NAS network directly into the A/V Receiver (threreby bypassing all of my home networking) all MP3's will play fine.  Therefore, the problem must either be in the WAP54G, the WRT54GS, or the configuration in one or both of them..
    My connections are:
    A/V Receiver ------ WAP54GS {{{{{{{{{ wireless }}}}}}}}}}} WRT54GS ----- CABLE Modem ------- Internet
    I also have a NAS directly hard-wired into one of the WRT54GS RJ-45 ports.
    My questions::
    1. When configured as a Wireless Repeater, wll the WAP54G still fully function with hard-wired devices connected directly into the RJ-45 port (as I currently have it set up)?  Most all of the literature and articles I've seen concentrate on the expansion of the Wi-Fi portion of the Wireless Repeater only and make minimal or no mention of using the integral RJ-45 port.
    2. Since the WAP54G Wireless Repeater has a separate actual IP address, do I need to do any changes to addressing on either my A/V Receiver, NAS? or Router  Specifically, does the Wireless Repeater become fully "transparent" to my home network or do I need to re-enter different IP addresses, port forwarding or port trigerring?  (This is the stuff I don't really understand.) 
    3. Should the system basically function as I have described or is there anything I'm obviously missing that would prevent the A/V Receiver from properly communicating with the NAS thru the Wireless Repeater and the Router?
    All replys or suggestions gratefully appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply,
    As far as your sketch is concerned . . .Yes, that is what I attempted to describe in my earlier postings.
    Before my first post, I attempted to verify as much as I was able.
    I noted earlier that I had tried AP Client and could not get it to work.  Literature for the WAP states that the only mode which can connect a WAP to a WRT router is the Wireless Repeater mode.  On the WAP, both AP Client, and Wireless Bridge modes state that each will only communicate with another (second) WAP (there is no mention of WRT in those modes).  That would require a second WAP and yet more $$$, just to uplink ONE RJ-45 to my router.  OK, since it can't damage anything, I tried the other modes just for "grins & giggles".  It resulted in a very-unhappy wireless network.  All network devices poped up with IP-Conflict errors and the network came to a crashing halt.  This is why I ended up with Wireless Repeater mode.
    Yes, with the WAP configured as Wireless Repeater, I AM able to easily ping the receiver from anywhere on my network.  In fact, I've tried 3-4 different ethernet devices plugged into the RJ-45 port of the WAP and I can ping them all.  Amazingly, every other ethernet device I plug into thje WAP work perfectly  . . except streaming music from my NAS to my A/V receiver.  At that point, I suspected the receiver has a network port problem except it perfectly streams internet radio thru the WAP.  The only thing the WAP will not stream successfully is music from my NAS.  I should also clarify that ALL firewall features on my NAS are disabled because it is already on the secure side of my router.  Therefore, I'm positive nothing in the NAS is blocking access from the WAP.  I've also verified my other 3 home PC's can access the NAS.  Two PC's are hard-wired to my router net and one PC is a laptop with wi-fi linked to my WRT router (all are on my 192.168.1.xxx network).  The REALLY screwy part is that I CAN display all files and folders on the NAS from the receiver  . . they just won't successfully play without giving a network error message.  Lastly, as a test, I've even temporarily disabled all wi-fi security.  Result is identical.
    To eliminate everything but the WAP, I temporarily stretched a 75' Cat-5 cable between the receiver and my WRT router.  With no other changes or setting mods, it immediately works perfectly.  Seriously, I've spent dozens & dozens of hours on this.  I"ve even borrowed another WAP from a friend (same version & newest firmware revision) and once it is configured, it does the exact same thing. I've even did a WAP hardware "Reset" and reconfigured it from scratch . . . also same thing. 
    Again, to clarify, ALL of this is on the same side of my home network.  Everything is within my 192.168.1.xxx.  I've triple-checked that I have no IP confilicts, I've tried both DHCP and using static IP's.  I've even tried disconnecting ALL other devices except for my receiver, the WAP and the WRT with the same results.   I am NOT trying to access any of this from the internet side of my router, so I shouldn't need to mess with port forwarding amd all that.  Everything says it "should" work . . . but yet it doesn't, on TWO different WAP devices.  All I can figure out is that the RJ-45 port on the WAP is not "fully transparent" when configured as a Wireless Repeater.  The literature does not state whether it is or if the device is designed as a Wi-Fi repeater only.
    Since I'm only trying to get a single RJ-45 device up-linked to my router, I'm inclined to pick up a $30 ethernet to wi-fi gaming adapter, throw my old WAP on the shelf and get a beer.  It should work, and I've spent WAY too much time on this already.

  • Wireless repeater for wrt320n?

    Hi all,
    After five years my wrt54g failed and I replaced it with a fine working wrt320n, assuming my wap54g would also work as a wireless repeater on this new router. Wrong assumption, this only seems to work with a wrt54g.
    Both devices run the latest Linksys firmware, and wired it works fine, but that's not an option.
    So now I need a replacement AP that supports this function to expand the range of the wrt320n, OR another router that my old AP works on. Though I prefer to keep using the new router of course.
    I searched the web and found devices like:
    http://www.hawkingtech.com/products/productlist.php?CatID=19&FamID=84&ProdID=394
    but I can't be sure this will work.
    WAP610n sounded promising, but it does not support wireless repeater mode. Also read about the wap4400n and several other products. Point is, I want to be sure it will work before I buy anything. Can anyone tell me what solution will work?
    Thanks in advance for any reply!
    Jan

    I had the same problem and bought the Hawking unit. It does work, and setup is not to bad. They have a good Tech support when you run into trouble. The only problem I run into is when I power down the Linksys, the repeater losses its IP address and you have to reinstall. Takes abot 2 minutes, but is a pain.

  • Apple TC and Netgear Router behaving as one Wireless Network

    Having had a problem recently with an HP 7520 printer suddenly begin to disconnect and reconnect to the wireless network of my Apple TC I have tried several workarounds.
    My setup includes a Netgear Modem/ Router (providing wireless network A) which is connected to an Apple TC (providing wireless network B) by an ethernet cable. The Netgear hands out ip addresses to all devices on my network and the TC is in Bridge Mode and provides the wireless network that all my computers and devices connect to.
    To try and identify if the issue is with my printer or something to do with my network or routers I tried connecting my printer to the Netgear router (wireless network A) seperate from all the other devices on my network which are still connected to the TC (wireless network B). This seems to have stopped the printer from repeatedly disconnecting and reconnecting from the wireless network so it looks like a recent firmware update to the Apple TC may be the cause for the repeated disconnections.
    As the printer is now on a different network to all my other devices I would, from all I've ever read about networking, not expect to be able to print from devices on wireless network B to the printer now on wireless network A but I can. All devices are connecting wirelessly to my networks. The only wired link is from the Netgear to the TC which if disconnected stops the ability to print from devices on wireless network B to the printer on network A. It is as if the ethernet connection between the two routers is connecting the two wireless networks together. Bothe wireless networks have a different SSID and different types of security and passwords. Is this normal behaviour? Am I missing something obvious?
    Thanks for any help offered.

    Sorry I have to copy and paste to just read your reply now.. stupid site.
    If I understand you correctly in effect the TC is a client of the Netgear router so is just another access point on the Network. Rather than connecting to the Netgear via a wireless connection, it is connected with an Ethernet cable and receives an IP address from the Netgear like any other device. Although the Netgear and TC create 2 different wireless networks/ access points it is actually just one network?
    Yes, all just one big happy network now.
    Any idea why my printer has started disconnecting/ reconnecting approx every 5 mins from the TC wireless network? This has only just started in the last couple of months and does not appear to happen when the printer is connected via the Netgear wireless network connection.
    I think you mentioned in your first post a suspicion about the latest firmware.. it is really poor.. downgrade to 7.6.1 and I think it will work better.
    But also remember HP is a PC company.. have you setup your TC with all nice SMB names.. short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.. not nasty apple names with horrible worms.. like these, '  and spaces..
    Also too much auto .. fix and lock everything down.. mode, channels, etc.
    Another question you might be able to help with. Would it make any difference, good or bad, if I just used the Netgear as a modem and let the TC do all the routing functions?
    The Netgear must be able to be bridged and the TC has to be able to get authentication.. I am not sure if this is adsl or cable.. but if adsl and your ISP uses pppoe then yes it is possible and routing with the TC is ok.. no better than the Netgear though.. and worse .. much worse if you have PC or games consoles. All of which want upnp which TC cannot supply.

  • IMac and Netgear DGND3300v2 on 5Ghz wireless n network problem

    Hi guys, I'm can't seem to be able to connect my iMac (bought around Christmas 2010) to my Netgear router on 5Ghz wireless N properly.
    Everytime I restarted the iMac, it will automatically connect to the 5Ghz network as I have set it up before. However, as soon as I start trying to use internet in any way, the connection just drops and all I can find then is my router on the 2.4Ghz network, running 802.11g.
    I know the iMac can definitely connect to the wireless N network because I also have Windows 7 Ultimate on it. When I boot to Windows 7, the network works flawlessly. No connection dropping whatsoever.
    Also my MacBook can connect to the 5Ghz with no problems. And it was bought in late 2008.
    My iMac is running Mac OSX 10.6.7. In system profiler, the Airport tab has the following information:
    Software Versions:
      Network Preference: 6.2.1 (621.1)
      AirPort Utility: 5.5.2 (552.11)
      IO80211 Family: 3.1.4 (314.1.1)
    Interfaces:

    Country Code: AL (shouldn't this be AU or something?)
    Supported PHY Modes: 802.11 a/b/g/n
    Supported Channels: 1 to 13
    Wake on wireless: supported
    Status: not associated
    Local wireless networks: just a bunch of 802.11g and 802.11n running on 2.4Ghz in my building.
    Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance!

    I've seen some threads saying changing the security on the wireless to WPA2-PSK will solve the problem, and I checked - my router is running using WPA2-PSK.

  • Wireless Access Points - Time Capsule and Netgear

    Ok...Netgear support site was completely useless so I am hoping that someone over here can help me out. I think what I am trying to do is relatively simple but for 3 days now I have gotten no-joy.
    Here is my current configuration: Westell DSL Modem (wireless disabled) --wired-- Netgear WNR834B (SSID 1, operating b/g mode) --wired-- Time Capsule (SSID 2, operating n mode, connection sharing Off Bridge mode). All other devices are hanging off wirelessly to one of the two routers.
    What I am trying to do is add a wireless Access Point (Netgear WN802T) to the picture. I need better coverage on the other side of the house and don't want to run wires. The WNR834B is WDS compatible but I can't figure out how to put it into repeater mode or bridge mode. So I thought my next best bet (before going out and buying even more hardware) would be to try and extend the TIme Capsule network. I have been unsuccessful so far (SSIDs are the same, channels are the same, WEP set because I read somewhere that WPA was not supported in repeater/bridge mode). Is it even possible to use a Netgear Access Point with the Time Capsule (I would think it would work, but I just can't get it to).
    I can get the WN802T to be seen in my network, but I can not get it to carry the internet connection.
    Any advice or steps would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for any/all help

    friars, welcome to the discussions!
    Sorry, but the possibility of extending the wireless network created by the Time Capsule with a device from another manufacturer is almost zero. Based on information from other top users, the only Netgear model that is shown as WDS compatible with an Apple base station is a model WGR614 v6.
    Take a look at an Apple AirPort Express to "extend" the network created by the Time Capsule. While the Express will also do WDS, the bandwidth on your network will be cut by 50% with the addition of just one WDS device. The "extend" feature on the Express does not impose this type of penalty and it is fully WPA/WPA2 capable as well, much more secure than WEP.
    For about the same money as an Express, you might also consider ethernet power line adapters. Almost as good as having a direct ethernet connection. Available from Netgear, Linksys, and others.
