make sure the SSID for the 5ghz network is named differently than the SSID for your 2.4ghz network.
manually set the 5ghz network to use the Wide 40MHz radio band and set the wide channel to 38 and the standard channel to 36; or wide ch to 46 and standard ch to 44.
if you're using encryption, set wireless security to use WPA2-Personal and set encryption to "AES", not "WPA-TKIP or WPA2-AES".
report back with your results.

Problem connecting the WIi and linksys WRT160N

I recently bought a new linksys WRT160N so that i can give my wii wi-fi however my wii is still unable to connect to the internet. My wii can find my router but when it is performing a connection test i get an error. The error code is 51330. Any help will be appreciated, thank you.

To fix this error message there are a few things you can try:
Set your router to Mixed Mode.
If it is set to G-Only it will not work.
Set the channel on your router to either 1 or 11.
Set the Wireless Security to WEP(not WPA?WPA2).Also make sure you enter the correct WEP/Network Key when prompted...
All these settings can be found in the wireless tab and wireless security subtab on your router.

Linksys WRT400N - Unable to Connect to 5GHz Band

Good Evening -
I am on my last nerve regarding my situation and I am hoping someone on this board can help me in some way, some form. My Linksys WRT400N router is not under warranty anymore so I can't receive any assistance through Linksys.
I have a Dell Vostro 3400 running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. The wireless card in the Vostro is a DW1520 Wireless-N Half-Mini Card. This card can operate in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band spectrum. Obviously, the Linksys WRT400N is a dual-band router and broadcasts in the 2.4 GHZ and 5GHz band simultaneously.
I originally had a DW1501 Wireless-N Half-Mini Card. Apparently, there was a known issue with this card with regards to connecting to a 5GHz frequency. With the DW1501 I was never able to connect to the 5GHz band ,,, the card would "see" the 5GHz band but it would never be able to connect to it. While on a support call with Dell wireless, they admitted that the DW1501 has an issue with actually connecting ("seeing") to a 5GHz band.
Dell offered to replace the DW1501 card with the DW1520. So, now my Dell Vostro has a DW1520 and it is able to "see" the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz bands. I am actually able to connect at 130 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band which is better than what I was connecting at ... which had been 65 Mbps. Now, the DW1520 card can also "see" the 5GHz band AND it can actually "connect" to the 5GHz band. When I "connect", I connect anywhere between 170 and 243Mbps, or thereabouts. So all is good until I actually open a browser and try and surf the net. When I do this, nothing happens ... it's like I am connected to the Internet but not really. So then I have to disconnect from the 5GHz and connect back the the 2.4 GHz band.
I spent nearly 2 hrs. on the phone this afternoon with another Dell technician trying to find out why I could connect to the 5GHz band but not actually surf the Internet via a browser. After 2hrs, the Dell technician could not find a resolution. However, we have possibly narrowed it down to the Linksys WRT400N router. At this point, I no idea what the issue is. The Dell technician said that I may have to re-install Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I totally disagree. I have downloaded all recent DW1520 drivers and the Linksys WRT400N has the one and only firmware version. The Dell tech also recommended "resetting" the Linksys WRT400N. I have not done this yet ... but will.
So ... I don't know what else to do or where to turn. Is there a setting in my Linksys WRT400N router that I am not aware of that will allow me to connect to the 5GHz band? I have disabled my MacAfee firewall ... nothing. I have checked over everything I can think of ... I have researched the Internet for the optimal settings for the Linksys WRT400N. I have made those changes. Nothing. I don't have any IP address populated within the Wireless MAC filter settings within the Linksys WRT400N. I have done the ipconfig steps and have "refreshed" and "renewed" the ip addresses.
What leads me to believe that there is something not set correctly with my Linksys WRT400N (or maybe it's my AT&T Siemens modem that provides the gateway to the Internet) is that I am seeing the EXACT same issue that a state above with my Dell Precision M4400 Mobile Workstation laptop. That has a Intel WiFi 5300 ABGN network card in it. Same thing ... it actually connects to the 5GHz band, but I can't surf the net.
Finally, when I go to the Linksys WRT400N setup page and I go to Wireless > Wireless Basic Setup and change the Network Mode for the 5GHz band from Mixed to Wireless-A Only, I can actually connect to the 5GHz band but only at 54Mbps.
So, I am at a loss. I am not sure what to do, where to look or turn, nor what to or what not to configure. Any advice on optimal network settings or anything regarding this post would be greatly appreciated. This is like buying a nice sports car and not being able to get out of second gear. What's the use?
Thank you in advance.

Most likely the router. you said that 2 different laptops have the same EXACT problem. Try this (in order): Reflash the firmware, reset the router then reconfigure the wireless settings. Set the channel width and channels to AUTO.

WRT610N 5ghz xbox 360 wireless N adapter won't connect (xbox 360 "Wireless Mode = Not connected")

Hi folks,
Looks like some other folks have reported similar. Haven't seen if an answer has been found anywhere.
WRT610v2 running latest firmware.
xbox 360 sees both the 2.4 network (ssid = network1) and the 5.0 network (ssid network2) when it does its scan.
Initially, xbox showed network strength for 2.4 network at 3 out of 4 bars and 5.0 network at 1 out of 4 bars.
Connects to 2.4 network just fine
Won't pull an ip address and reports "Not connected" when I select the 5.0 network.
I tweaked the wireless settings per some suggestions I found in this forum and now it shows the 5.0 network at 4 out of 4 bars signal strength. Also turned security on and off and xbox 360 reported the changes in security on the 5.0 network.
So the xbox 360 is definitely seening the 5.0 network. and can tell if it is running WPA2 or not.
If it can see the 5.0 network and recognizes what security and network type (infrastructure) is set, would would stop it from connecting to the WRT610n router and getting an IP address? No mac filters or firewalls are set and, again, connects just fine and gets an ip address if I select the 2.4 (network1 ssid) instead.
Won't work if I manually set IP, subnet, gateway, dns either.
Have tried mixed versus dedicated on the N radio...
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks!
rjb

Hello,
Thanks for the suggestions. Tried as you suggested but still no luck. Seems to see the 5ghz ssid just fine with plenty of strength but just will not pull an ip address or even connect if I manually assign.
Any other thoughts?
thanks again for taking the time to respond.

I have an airport express and want to know how to set up two different wireless networks. One with 5GHZ and one with 2.4GHZ so different devices can connect to either.

I have an airport express and want to know how to set up two different wireless networks. One with 5GHZ and one with 2.4GHZ so different devices can connect to either. I have an iphone 4 that will not connect to 5ghz.
thank you!

Your AirPort Express is already providing two separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, but each band is using the same wireless network name.
This is the default setup for the AirPort Express, which is recommended for most users. The theory here is that devices will automatically connect to the best quality signal based on their capabilities and distance in relation to the AirPort Express.
It is possible to assign a different name to the 5 GHz band, and then "point" devices at that network to connect. Some users swear by this option.....(I am not one of them).... but you might want to give it a try to see how it works for you.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Express
Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
Click Wireless Options near the bottom of the next window
Enter a check mark next to 5 GHz Name.....which will automatically add "5 GHz" to the network name....so you can identify it
Click Save, then click Update and wait a full minute for the Express to restart
Now you will need to "point" your 5 GHz capable devices at the 5 GHz network name. 2.4 GHz devices will connect to your "other" network name.

Dual Band (5ghz and 2.4 ghz) Wireless Network Config and Dropped Connection

Hi, I have an Airport Extreme (802.11N) and a Motorola WR850G (802.11A/B/G) that I'm trying to connect in a dual band setup - but something in my setup is causing the Airport to drop it's connection (before the connection is dropped - everything works great). After I lose connectivity, both routers show up in my list of wireless networks, the light stays green, but I don't have local or internet access. When I try to reconnect, the log on times out. Also, the Airport isn't displayed in the Airport Utility (light is green on the airport itself though). Unplugging and resetting the Airport Allows all computers on the network to connect locally and to the internet for a few hours until the connection drops again. While it is up and running, I have no problems streaming movies off the connected Airdisk, navigating the internet, and connecting both N and G devices to the network.
I'd love to hear from you if you've gotten a similar setup to work, and if possible, have you provide the settings you used to make this work. I've looked around quite a bit and haven't seen a detailed description of the process (even from the Apple documentation). Also, advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated since my wireless networking knowledge is pretty basic.
My configuration:
Time Warner cable modem connected to the Airport's WAN port. WR850G connected by LAN port to Airport's LAN port. Bridge Mode check box selected on WR850G. Airport setup for 802.11n (5Ghz). Unique SSIDs to determine which network is 'N'. Same password for both networks. My Firmware and utilities are up to date.
Computers/Devices on Network:
Two Macs with Airport Extreme N cards. A Vista PC with a D-link N card (only compatible with 2.4 Ghz so it connects to the G network). A Vista PC with a GB ethernet card connected to the Airport Extreme. Various other G devices like iPod touches and an old iBook. Airdisk connected to the Airport Extreme.
Thanks,

I removed the second router (Moto wr850g) and everything seems to be working smoothly. It must be some settings on that one that are causing the problem, but I haven't been able to get it configured correctly. I noticed there were some IP conflicts with my wireless wanting to use the old Moto router IP and trying to assign my Mac an IP from that router. Does anyone know specifically what needs to be disabled on a router in bridge mode? Since I have a third party router there aren't any handy wizards that can configure it for me.
Thanks again

Got new linksys router WRT160NL , but situation same. Tried reboot, renew lease, forget network, reset network setting. Pls advice

Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

Desktops dropping wired connection to e4200 and other Linksys routers

Hi,
On Friday, I lost all Internet connnecitivity on my Linksys e3000. After determining that my cable modem was connected and working correctly, I pulled the e3000 and put my old wrv54g router in place. Wireless worked, but all wired connections showed link but no other apparent connectivity. Neither of my desktops could get a DHCP lease.
At that point, I purchased and manually installed a new e4200 router. All worked fine. Both laptops connected via wireless and both desktops via my house LAN. Until this morning (Monday). Wireless is working just fine, but both wired computers show 100 Mbs connections on an unknown network with no DHCP. Checking status shows packets going out, but nothing coming in. Checking LAN status on the router shows that both ports are connected, but it does not appear to receive anything from either desktop. All was fine last night. Oh, the router is on 1.0.03 firmware.
I have tried about everything I can think of. Configurations both on the router and the desktops (one Windows XP, 64 bit and one Windows 7) and all seems fine. I have disabled and reenabled the network connectors, rebooted both the router and the computers, etc. Nothing seems to work.
I am out of ideas and desparate. Does anyone have any idesa.
Thanks,
Mitch

I actually solved the problem, after a long day of trying everything I could think of, and the issue was not the router. I did a chat session with a Linksys support rep and we figured out that the router was bad. I replaced it with a new one and still had the same problem.
Long story short, I have a weather unit that connects, via wire, to the Internet to retrieve weather forecasts. It is hooked up through a ethernet switch, along with my desktop. For whatever reason, it went flakey and took down everything that was on a wire, including my wife's desktop in another room, which was connected to the router through a hub. As soon as I pulled the power on the weather device, everything started working. When I put power back, everything still worked.
Not sure why, or how this happened, but I will take success any way I can get it.
In regards to the e3000 problem, when I was returing the original e4200 for replacement at Best Buy, the guy there said that they had seen the ethernet switch part of the e3000 units fail before. I had an e3000, which failed last Friday, which was why I purchased the e4200 to replace it. Of course, my e3000 failed completely, including wireless.

I am using several Macs running Yosemite. I was recently “upgraded” to Xfinity’s new cable modem which can support both 2.5Ghz and 5Ghz networks at the same time. Actually I can connect to the internet over both with a satisfactory bump in speed for the Ghz. However when I connect to the 5Ghz the Time capsule disappears from the Airport Utility and claims to be Not Found. Is there something I have done wrong or just a Yosemite Teething Problem

First restart your mac and try again.
It could be
that the router and the TC are interfering wirelessly with each other.
You can check this by pressing the option key while clicking on the wireless icon on your screen
Open Wireless Diagnostics
enter your user password
Press CMD 4 then Scan
You will see all the wireless channels being used in your location and you can check if they are on the same channel
Make the SSID for the TC simple like MyTC
Set 5Ghz to auto
Update the TC
Try again

Xbox 360 and Linksys E3000

Hello,
I'm having quite some trouble with the new E3000 and my Xbox 360 Slim Model. I thought that the E3000 had like 4 antennas which should broaden the SSID Broadcast/Wifi Signal. Now when I try to scan for wireless networks on my Xbox360 it can't find the signal the E3000 is broadcasting. The E3000 is on the bottom floor and the 360 is on the first floor. Before this I had a WRT54G Linksys router and that one had no problem getting signal to the Xbox360. The E3000 shouldn't have this problem right, because it has more antennas. Another weird thing is that my laptop, which almost sits next to my 360, has no trouble at all finding the SSID/WiFi broadcast...
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I just want to connect my E3000 to my Xbox 360.
PS: I have upgraded to the latest firmware.

Xbox 360 and Linksys E3000Bad news guys. Whatever you were told about the xbox 360 being compatible with wireless n at 5GHz was probably misleading. Please work through the following link: Work your way through this:- http://www.unofficialguidetolive.co.uk/faqs/114-troubleshooting-and-improving-wireless
Pay attention to the following, and I quote from the above link:
"...The Internal Wireless N Adapter for the Xbox 360 S 250GB
As well as all of the points above to consider you also need to be aware that some Wireless N routers can work at 2.4GHz and 5GHz or both. <<<<The new internal Wireless N adapter will only work at 2.4Ghz>>>> so ensure you have this enabled. It has also been found that in some cases it does not work with WEP and prefers WPA2-PSK (sometimes called Personal) with AES encryption (not TKIP) so in summary for the internal wireless adapter these configureations seem to work best-"
We could have saved everyone a lot of time if the XBOX 360 support would have just admitted this from the start. NO 5GHZ compatibility from XBOX Wireless N adapter.
If there is a way to upgrade the wireless N adapter in the XBOX please post for the rest of us.

Dual Band Network: Time Capsule (N only) and Linksys (B/G) Works *Long*

Ok, so this was more tedious than I thought it would be, but things actually seem to be working at this point.
Goal: Create a Dual Band network with Time Capsule (N only) and a Linksys WRTSL54GS (B/G)
Time Capsule: 1000BaseT wired, and 802.11N 5Ghz only wireless
Linksys: 100BaseT wired, and 802.11G 2.4Ghz wireless
Airport Utility 5.3.1
Time Capsule v. 7.3
I set Time Capsule up first, following the step by step directions for "Create a wireless network"
802.11N only, 5Ghz
WPA2 Personal
DHCP 192.168.1.1 (kinda important)
This worked fine-tested on a C2D iMac, both thru ethernet and wirelessly thru N. Time Machine backed up fine.
Now the tricky part, configuring the Linksys.( I just want to mention I had to reset this thing completely about 10 times to get it to work, using a miniscrewdriver)
Starting with a freshly reset Linksys, I connected from my MacBook ethernet port to one of the Linksys ethernet ports (Not the WAN)
I disabled Airport
I logged in to 192.168.1.1 using blank for login, admin for password (default for Linksys)
I did the following:
1) Confirmed Internet Connection Type was "Automatic Configuration-DHCP"
2) Changed Network Setup to "DHCP Server-DISABLED"
3) Turned off the Firewall settings in Security (not sure if this is necessary)
4) Changed the Operating Mode from "GATEWAY" to "ROUTER"
5)Changed the SSID to "LinksysG_ONLY" or something like that
After each one of these steps, I had to save the configuration, thru the Linksys browser interface-which blows.
6) Finally, I changed the Local IP Address of the Linksys from 192.168.1.1 to 10.0.1.251 (thanks to Henry B. for that)
7) And....I no longer had access to the Linksys at all! This stumped me for a while, until...
8) I checked my Ethernet settings (in System Preferences/Network): 192.168.1.1 was set as default router address. But my Router (at least for configuration purposes) was now 10.0.1.251, so it could no longer find it.
9) So I added a new Ethernet port (using the "+" sign), called it Ethernet-Linksys. Set it to Manual. Put in an IP of 10.0.1.250, and a Router IP of 10.0.1.251.
10) I got access to the Linksys setup page again! (Note: I'm sure there is an easier way to do this, but this is how I got mine to work )
11) I set up WPA security again, set it to an unused channel (2 in my case), mixed b/g network.
12) Finally, I moved the ethernet cable from my MacBook directly to one of the ethernet ports on the Time Capsule. I did NOT hook up the other end to the WAN on the Linksys (which for some reason I had done 100 times before) I left it in one of the 4 ethernet ports on the Linksys. Repeat, the WAN (ethernet) port remains empty.
13) I then turned Airport back on the MacBook, connected to "LinksysG_ONLY", and...I was online. And everything seems to work.

Hi kjk et al,
I've been searching the boards for something like what you have described in such nice detail. Before Time Capsule, I used a Netgear g router connected to the cable modem and an older Apple base station connected to the Netgear as a bridge. I removed the Netgear and set up my Time Capsule as the primary. The newer computers in my network can access the Time Capsule, but the old Dell with a 802.11g wireless card cannot. I don't remember seeing where I could access TC to change a setting of "N only" or b/g, but I am guessing that it is running N.
I tried to follow the steps you used for Linksys. The pre-step 1 thing, resetting it "10 times to get it to work" - how do you know when it is really reset? With Netgear plugged into electricity, I stuck a paper clip into the hole labeled on the diagram as "restore factory settings" and watched the color of the IO icon change from green to amber to green. I did it again for good measure.
I plugged ethernet from PowerBook G4 into Netgear not-WAN ethernet ports (like your MacBook to Linksys). I disabled Airport. Using Safari, I logged into 192.168.0.1 and got to the Netgear SmartWizard configuration assistant. It says, "No Internet Connection Detected. Please check the connections to the Internet WAN port and cable/DSL modem" - so I looked at your instructions but see no mention of connecting the router to the modem.
Trying to follow your numbered steps...
1. In SysPrefs: Network, Location showed Automatic, Configure showed Using DHCP.
2. I don't see an option in Network to "DHCP Server-DISABLED", but I can choose Configure: OFF. I clicked Apply but browser still gives same message.
I don't know how to continue the steps.

Improving Performance between WRT610N (v1) and WET610N (v1)

Any advice on how to improve performance of the connection between these two Wireless N devices?
WRT610N (v1) and WET610N (v1)
We have a PS3 connected to the WET610N via Ethernet directly, and it connects the PS3 communication wirelessly to the Internet through the WRT610N. Just wondering if there are some known tweaks that will improve performance between them. One thing I think is ridiculous is that the WRT610N is showing only 30% signal strength on the WET610N. That is ridiculous as they are not far from eachother.
Any input is welcome!

Whats the Distance between your Router and the Bridge? Are you connected to 5GHz wireless network or 2.4GHz wireless network? Whats the Wireless Settings you have setup on your Router.

Issues with Deskjet 5650 and Linksys wireless print server.

I have a iMac DP 1.8, a iMac G3 700 mhz running Tiger and a Toshiba laptop running XP and I am on a wireless network. I use a Linksys WRT54G router for the wireless and I am using a Linksys WPS54G wireless printserver to connect an HP Deskjet 5650 to the network. This was all working fine for the past 2 months until Monday evening when the Mac's lost connection to the printer. However the Toshiba can print to it just fine.
I cannot for the life of me figure out what happened. The iMac DP recently had a security update for intel installed this past Monday, but no updates have been installed on the G3 iMac. I have contacted Apple, HP and Linksys and they have been no help at all. Apple says it's a Linksys issue, Linksys says it's Apple issue and HP is just cluless. I would appreciate any assistance offered.
Thanks

Paul, I am amazed you were ever able to print via the Linksys wireless server on your mac. I have the identical router and print server, and only the Windows PC's on my wireless network have been able to share the printer on that wireless server. I've been unable to find a driver for my iMac, and could never get the iMac to find the server. Finally gave up and bought an HP 2600n color laser and connected it directly to the iMac via USB. You're right about lack of help from Linksys. There is an Apple folder under "unsupported" on the print server installation CD, but there's nothing helpful in there.

Problems in Internet access in the middle being a modem and Linksys RV016

Good afternoon, I have another problem with Cisco Linksys RV016 Router, the router used to connect to ADSL Internet 3 links which these in turn give direct service to a server right now each of them, the idea is to connect the 3 modems LAN router and connect the server, this is no problem so far. The point is that here at my work people access to Remote Access Servers for Windows and VNC TightVNC or my servers with Linux (ask why not login at TeamViewer or LogMeIn, but it is another matter), the idea is to leave as they are, that everything is apparent and improve systems with load balancing (Router). The modem has ports open for remote access the 3389, are accessed without nigun problem, but when connecting the router and can not, I opened the same ports in Router and name and works.
Servers handle the no-ip.org for access and name resolution on DNS and so with that name assigned by the no-ip is where remote access from the Internet.
I do not know if you understand, but I hope someone help me with this.
In advance thank you very much and greetings.

Look, the first phase of my work to be done is to try a single server and it has Windows Server 2008, you explain:
1. This ADSL modem connected directly to a single server (Windows).
2. It is accessed without any problem by remotely from another network and / or from the Internet via remote access.
3. The modem has port 3389 open to allow remote access from another network or Internet (up to here is my current scheme and there is no problem).
4. Connect between the modem and Linksys RV016 router server.
5. I open the same ports with the modem for remote access.
6. If I have Internet server.
7. Remote access is not working.
As time??? something can be done to solve this problem. The server as you mentioned earlier is running as a service no-ip.org for publication DNS name and not have to be constantly changing the IP by automatic changes made by the supplier (eg server name and for which so is taken from the internet: servidorwin.no-ip-org).
See if you explain me better.
Thanks in advance and greetings.

Problem connecting MBP to established Linksys wireless network

just got MBP 2.16 (my first mac!). Having trouble connecting to my established linksys wireless network. I have the BEFW11S4 (V.2) etherfast wireless access point + cable router with 4 port switch. Currently have 128 encryption enabled. The linksys router is broadcasting its ID (I can see "linksys" on my mac) but it seems to not accept the password. I tried entering the 26 WEP key, the passphrase, the WEP key in quotes, the WEP after a $ sign... all to no avail. please APPLE community, help out a mac noobie before i have to turn back to Bill Gates....
Dell Dimension 8200, MBP 2.16 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2 GB SDRAM

To find the IP address or the status, go to system Preferences then network. It will show you the status of any internet connections. You should see one for Airport, it will either show a green light and say 'Airport is connected to the internet' (or something like that) or a red light and say 'Airport is is active but not connected' (something like that). If you double click on Airport or click 'Configure' you will see tabs, click on TCP/IP and it will show all of your details including your IP address.
As for the other, it always refers to wireless networks as 'Airport' and that response is the standard response from a Mac.
the password should be typed in the hex section, not sure about the $ sign. I've never had to do that before. But if you can't connect even with no encription then I would think it is another problem. I would turn off the encription until you can at least get connected and then you can worry about the security afterwards.
