Connecting E1200 and WRT120N ... wirelessly?

Just got DSL today and have to put the router way over by a phone-jack. My desktop is in another room, with the WRT120N, hard-wired to it.
I'm looking to have the WRT120N as an access point to the new E1200 that came with the DSL setup. I don't see anything about WDS in the support documentation for either of these routers, and running through all the Menu options inside the routers doesn't seem to reveal anything helpful for connecting 2 routers wirelessly.
Is it possible? or just not supported?
Thanks!

No, not possible. The only way to have communication between those two routers is to have them physically connected.

  • BT hub 4 and HP wireless printer

    Hi, 
    I have taken advantage of the Hub 4 for the dual band connectivity.  What didn't come accross in my mind was if devices connected to 5GHz frequency could connect to printer on 2GHZ freq and print etc...
    Is it possible if I use USB port on the BT hub 4 to connect printer and print wirelessly from devices etc... 
    It is a pain to switch networks just to print

    Dual band routers transmit 2.4Ghz and 5GHz and that software inside the hub connects the two so that they are seen as one network rather than two.  This would mean that your printer should just see your network and accept any jobs that are sent from it regardless of the frequency of the device that sent it.
    As far as I am aware the only thing that would cause this not to happen would be faulty software not connecting the two or if the two frequencies have been given separate SSid so that they are effectively two networks.
    Make sure you set Homehub up with only one SSid and passkey and all your devices should see and communicate with each other on your network. Remember to search for you Homehub on your printer and enter the new passkey that came with the hub.
    I believe you can connect your printer to the USB on the Homehub but I am not sure if anybody has got this to work yet. No doubt somebody will post if they have done it.

  • WRT120N - wireless capability routinely fails and requires router reboot

    I purchased the WRT120N wireless router about a month ago and have found that the wireless capability of this unit routinely fails.  I have numerous wireless devices in our home but it's the Apple iTouches that use it most of the time.  Every day or two the wireless function just stops working and I have to rebooot the unit via the admin web page.  Then everything continues to work for a while until we notice that it has failed again.  I upgraded the router firmware to v1.0.04 and followed the instructions carefully but this made no difference.
    Searching the web revealed that this was a wide-spread and well documented problem.  Many other forum posts warn consumers to avoid buying this cheap and unreliable product.
    I am about to give up return the unit to the store I bought it from but thought I'd give one last chance to this forum to see if there was any fix or alternative.
    Please advise.  Thanks.

    hi, to this topic I'd like to post my problem. so i have wrt120n wireless router, and I had a problem with connecting two computers ( one PC on cable,  other Notebook with wireless). When both computers is online, router start to reboot. Event wiever posted :
     Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 0000E87303EE.  Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.  especially when trying to send a file between computers through skype.
    so that first problem, now I can't connect to internet at all. I've found almost the same problem:.
    The computer is able to connect to the router perfectly fine, but I can't get on to the internet because I'm unable to aquire an IP address from the router. Instead of giving me my 198.168.1.x IP, I'm getting a 169.254.x.x.
    But the thing is that i can't connect to router adress 192.168.1.1, I tried to reset router but still nothing. any ideas? how connect to the router?

    When I visit a friend with only a cable modem internet my Mac Book Pro will not connect.
    I see that the Mac Book Pro is picking up the internet when I check the internet preference section but it will not open Safari.
    What do I need to do connect via a cable modem?

    You need to power off the modem for 15-30 seconds, then power back up and then connect. The modem is remembering the last connection (your friend).

    I currently have a WPN824 v3 Netgear router and I’m trying to set up my Apple TV. I am able to connect it to my wireless network but my airplay feature is currently not working. The icon does not appear on any of my devices. My ipad and ipones all are currently up to date and are all joined to the same network. Is it the way that my router is configured. Please help let me know what I need to change in my router settings or does my router not work with Airplay. Or is there a simple fix.

    you don't mention which products you use
    only ipad2 and up support mirror

    other devices only use airplay for apps which support tvout options

  • 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.

  • Netgear WNDR3700, Tp-Link WPS510U, Epson Photo 1400 and PowerRIPX: wireless connection

    Hi All
    I need some advice regarding a wireless connection to my inkjet printer.
    I have recently replaced my router with a Natgear WNDR3700 dual band device (2.4G and 5G). Connected and working wirelessly are my MacBook Pro, iPhone, Zeppelin Air, smart TV. Connected and working wired are my satellite modem, VoIP ’phones and laser printer.
    However, I have an Epson Photo 1400 with a Tp-Link WPS510U which isn’t working. It worked with the old router.
    Netgear’s Genie application shows the printer to be available under AirPrint.
    The printer driver I use is PowerRIPX PostScript.
    The TP-Link has the correct IP address from the previous configuration (192.168.1.10).
    Printing shows the document processing in the print queue, but there is no flashing green LED on the front of the printer and no output results.
    So … how do I actually get this to work? Advice gratefully received.
    Cheers
    Paul

  • I have a Windows XP Pro PC and Can't Get it to Connect to an Airport Wireless network

    Hi, I'm kinda at my wit's end here. I have a desktop PC using Windows XP Pro operating system. To get wireless, I'm using an external wireless d-link USB.
    It works fine on my home network. I took the desktop to my local repair guy. There's nothing wrong with it that would prevent network connections. And, natch, the wireless network is working well on everyone else's computers there, including my MacBook. But what happens with this PC is that it sees the network and then tries to connect and doesn't connect ever.
    Any ideas?

    Googling around, I decided to try changing the password to 13 characters on the airport. That did the trick.

    The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
    Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
    Read up the issue.

    Cisco vpn client..
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
    I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
    The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
    It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
    Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

  • I recently bought an external hard drive and attached it to a wireless modem router. The problem is that i can't access it from my macbook. I get a "connection failed" and "the server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally".

    Well I believe I described the problem above. I want only to add that the external hard drive is a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Drive 1TB and the wireless modem router is a Belkin N Plus (model F5D8635-4 v1). Also, in the finder window under "shared" I see a "belkinserver" and when I click it, it says "connection failed". If I click "connect as" I get the "the server "belkinserver" is available on your computer..." which I mentioned above. I tried to connect macbook via ethernet to the modem router and then when I typed "smb://belkinserver" it immediately prompted me for a username and a password and when I typed them finally I got to enter the contents of the hard drive! So what's the problem wirelessly? 

    If your external drive does not have an independent power supply, you may wish to consider a couple of lower-cost options before tossing the drive. Bus-powered drives have no external power source and must get all their power from the computer. They can exceed the computer's USB energy budget.
    Cheapest option:
    1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
    This gets power from two of the computers USB porst sna can provide enough power to wake up an under-performaing bus-powered drive.
    If you don't have enough ports to use this, try the next cheapest option:
    Newer Technology 7 Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Hub with Power Adapter for Mac & PC
    Such a hub has a an independent power supply to make up for wahat the comptuer fails to provide.

    Go step by step and test.
    1. Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
        Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
        Restart the computer.
