Do Linksys Routers Support WDS (WRT54AG)?

I have a linksys WRT54AG (both a wireless G and A router).
Is there a way to set it up so that my airport express will act as a range extender for my exsisting wireless network?
I troubleshoot wifi problems as a job, so I am pretty savvy, but I am stumped here, been working on it for 4 hours or so.
Any help or reference to a good website would be great appreciated!

Matt,
Not acording to the manual or the readme's with the upgrades for the router.
But you may be able to trick it into communicating with the rest of the wireless network, well one wireless router in particular, and use it to forward all the network traffic to it. You'd need some trickery with the IP addresses it assigned, to make sure they were still on the same subnet.
Or the easy way is to wire it by Ethernet to the rest of the network, works for me. This creates a Wireless Roaming network, one step short of WDS.

    I only no of 1 for sure and that is by downloading 3rd party firmware like DD-WRT, the WRT54G. See the below Link.

  • What Linksys routers support POE?

    I need to replace a Link-Sys WBR-2310 in a closet which uses a POE adapter from D-Link (DWL-P50)
    Are there LinkSys Routers which accept POE without the need for the adapter?
    If not are there LinkSys Routers that will work with the D-Link adapter (again DWL-P50) ?
    If not is there a LinkSys POE adapter/Router combination that I can currently purchase?
    My research keeps turning up old LinkSys POE adapters, and of course they don't list current router models.
    I would like to get the E2000,E3000 or better.

    I think E2000 or E3000 routers do not support Power Over Ethernet.

  • Which Linksys VPN Routers support Multicast forwarding

    Which Linksys VPN Routers support Multicast forwarding / passthru   I have remote SPA942 phones connected thru a vpn to a SPA9000/SPA400 system. After manual provisioning the phones work, but voice mail, auto provisioning, etc that use multicast do not work. VPN is using Netgear boxes which do not forward multicast. I'm going to switch to Linksys/Cisco VPN routers but want to make sure which models will do the multicast forwarding.
    Thanks

  • Can airport express support WDS thru a linksys wag200g wireless router

    just got the above router and have to extend the range of my network so it can reach my mac mini. am trying to use a/ex as a remote but not having any luck. i know alot of routers do not support WDS but was told this one did. can anyone help? am just about ready to throw it through a window!

    Hi again kenkarno,
    So the whole idea of WDS (Wireless Distribution System) is to enable you to use multiple devices (i.e. Wireless Routers) on the same network.
    For example if you set up a wireless network called "kenkarno" but your original router wasn't powerful to cover the desired area, you could add further routers to the same "kenkarno" network as opposed to creating a multitude of networks for each router. The obvious advantage is that if you're out of range of one router you're in range of another without having to switch networks.
    At the moment WDS is very proprietary (hence my first post) so it is common when trying to set up a WDS composed of different brand routers, you may not get them to talk to one another due to incompatibilities in their software.
    In your case, it could be that your Actiontec router will not be able to form part of a WDS with your AE so your suggestion of using ethernet between the Actiontec and the AE could be the way to go here (although you'd have two separate networks). If you went for a second AE you could create a WDS between this and your existing one which may make life a little easier.
    Hope it works out

  • Problem with AEBS-N connecting to Linksys WRT54G over WDS

    I have been trying -- without success -- to connect a new Airport Extreme Base Station-N to an existing Linksys WRT54G. The two devices can communicate over WDS without any encryption but they will not connect via WDS using WPA or WPA2.
    The two MacBooks and the WinXP desktop work fine with the WRT54G over WEP, WPA, or WPA2. All three computers can communicate with the AEBS. The problem is getting the WRT54G and AEBS to communicate over WDS with encryption other than WEP.
    Phone calls to tech support at Apple and Linksys were not productive. The Apple rep walked through all the steps to have AEBS-N join a network via WDS and he found no errors in my setup. He then connected me to the next level support for additional help. The second Apple wireless support tech reviewed the situation and said he had no additional information. Both Apple and Linksys support reps suggested I to "call the other company if their device isn't working" or "post feedback so the developers will be aware." Apple tech support had no details (or none they are willing to share) about how WDS works under WPA/WPA2 in their product; I asked for specific details thinking that a third-party Linksys firmware might offer additional modifications to make the two devices compatible. The Linksys rep was similarly unhelpful in giving WDS details.
    I am fine with using a third-party firmware for the WRT54G if someone has the settings to make these two devices work together.
    This is frustrating because both Apple and Linksys tech support said their products will run WDS under WPA or WPA2 but only with their own products. I suspect each firm has created proprietary WDS implementations because WDS is only a mechanism and not a technical standard (www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/802architecturegroup/802-11/4-address-format.doc).
    I would appreciate any information that might allow upgrading from WEP to WPA/WPA2.
    Details:
    AEBS: model A1143, firmware 7.3.2
    AirPort Utility v5.3.2
    WRT54G: version 4 (first four of S/N: CDFA), Linksys firmware 4.21.1
    Desktop: Dell Dimension 4800, WinXP-SP3, Linksys WUSB54G (USB wireless access)
    Macbook #1: new aluminum Macbook (late 2008), OSX 10.5.5
    Macbook #2: white Macbook (mid-2008), OSX 10.5.5
    (I am happy to post additional tech details and/or log files upon request).

    Done. I powered off the Airport Extreme Base Station, restarted it and AirPort Utility, and connected to the MacBook via ethernet cable. I then used AirPort Utility to turn off the Airport wireless connectivity in the Extreme Base Station and configured it in Bridge Mode. The Base Station restarted and showed a green light. However, when I went to reactivate Airport as "join WDS network," the light continued to glow green but, there were obvious network problems:
    - ping command to the Airport Extreme Base Station resulted in 100% packet loss, even if the AEBS was connected to MacBook by ethernet cable
    - turning off MacBook wireless connectivity resulted in the MacBook being able to see the AEBS, but the AEBS cannot connect to the Linksys router

  • Slow/Erratic Wireless Internet Speeds. Have tried a lot. (Multiple Linksys Routers)

    I just moved into a new house, and now have a 10mb ADSL connection.
    When wired (direct to the modem, or through routers) my speeds are fine.
    But when on wireless, they are very erratic. I use a local speedtest site, and when wired it will get up to the correct speed quickly and stay there till test concludes. But on wireless, it will sometimes do that, but 90% of the time it will slowly get up to speed, drop a few Mb's, maybe stay at half speed, maybe go back up, etc....
    I have 4 linksys routers (no not all in use currently), 2 WRT54G's, WRT54G2, and a WRT160n.
    I have two laptops, one running a Dell 1490 card (Broadcom) and a HP Tablet running a N card (it is broadcom, will have to look up the model). Have tested multiple OS's (XP, Vista, 7).
    Nothing seems to make a difference, so problem between all routers. I have tried changing channels to no avail. But other than that, I am not familiar with "fine tuning" as I have never had to in the past.
    Any suggestions would be awesome!

    Sometimes, firmware make a reat difference...Its a real coincidence that you are facing the wireless connectivity problem with all the 4 router's you have.However you try upgrading your router's firmware and try to reconfigure it from the scratch and hopefully it should work...
    Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

  • IPv6 Test Case for LinkSys Routers - Based on Ubuntu + Radvd + DHCPv6 - E1200v2 isn't ready for IPv6

    Hello!
    Here on this guide, you'll learn how to deploy your own Linux IPv6 Router, that can be used in ANY network, to give IPv6 connectivity to ANY ethernet device, including Windows, Mac, Ubuntu Server and Desktop, RedHat and, of course, LinkSys routers like E1200v2 and E2500 for its WAN interfaces.
    I wrote this guide because I found a BUG on E1200v2, which doesn't work with IPv6 yet, already lost some money to figure this out.
    That's it, when you see a E1200v2 box at the store, you can read: "* IPv6 Enabled", but that is not entirely true, since it does not work as expected.
    Here on this post, it is a complete procedure to reproduce the problem.
    NOTE: The model E2500 v1 does not suffer from this problem!
    NOTE: This guide is very usefull if you have a LinkSys E2500 router and want to connect it directly into a Linux Router!
    Who am I?
    A.: I'm Thiago, I work in Brazil, for a company called iG (ig.com.br), I'm working here as a Network Engineer / SysAdmin and I have +10 years of experience with IPv4 networks + 5 years with IPv6.
    * Brief
    1- Install a Ubuntu 12.04.3, to act as your router, on a PC computer with two ethernet cards (eth0 will be Ubuntu's default route, eth1 will be used to connect LinkSys E1200v2);
    2- Prepare your Ubuntu Router (very important step, read it carefully)
    3- Connect E1200v2 directly into Ubuntu's eth1 ethernet card;
    4- Connect a Windows PC at E1200v2 LAN port 1 (used to configure your E1200 with Cisco Connect everytime a reset is desired);
    5- Reset (restore it from factory defaults) your E1200v2 router;
    6- Install Cisco Connect in your Windows PC (LAN port 1);
    7- Configure your E1200v2 as usual;
    8- Browse the Internet (still IPv4);
    9- Open Windows Command Prompt and type: ipconfig, ping, etc;
    10- Open Google Chrome or Firefox and go to your E1200v2 Web Admin Interface at http://192.168.1.1/
    11- Install a Ubuntu 12.04.3 Server connected at E1200v2 LAN port 2 to test IPv6 connectivity in deep, or;
    12- Boot a Ubuntu Desktop 13.04 Live CD connected at E1200v2 LAN port 3 to test IPv6 connectivity in deep;
    IMPORTANT NOTE:
    * This tests will require IPv4 connectivity to the Internet, since the IPv6 blocks used on this example, are blocks used only for documentation (or small tests) porpuses, which means that those IPv6 tests we're about to do, will not reach the Internet (in IPv6), neighter be routed out from your E1200v2. But it is enough to prove that E1200v2 drops its clients IPv6 connectivity. Feel free to replace those IPv6 address with your current / valid IPv6 blocks (if you have a IPv6 /48 block from your ISP, you know what I'm talking about).
    * Network Topology (Ubuntu Linux Router)
    IPv6:
    eth0
    2001:db8:0:1::/64 = uplink allocation
    2001:db8:0:1::1 = upstream router IP (Ubuntu's gateway IPv6)
    2001:db8:0:1::2 = customer configured IP (your WAN uplink interface to provider - Ubuntu's eth0 IPv6 address)
    eth1
    2001:db8:1::/48 = statically routed subnet pointing at 2001:db8:0:1::2 that come from you IPv6-ISP
    2001:db8:1::1 = your first IPv6 within your own infrastructure (Ubuntu's eth1 - E1200v2 directly connected here)
    eth1:0
    2001:db8:1:1::/64 = your first IPv6 /64 with Router Advertisement plus DHCPv6 running on Linux (radvd) (Ubuntu's eth1:0 - E1200v2 gets its WAN IPv6 address from this subnet)
    2001:db8:1:1::1 = IP of your first /64 subnet, Radvd + DHCPv6 running here, Ubuntu as IPv6 router
    IPv4:
    eth0
    192.168.10.0/24 = uplink allocation
    192.168.10.1 = upstream router IP (Ubuntu's gateway IPv4)
    192.168.10.2 = customer configured IP (your WAN uplink interface to provider - Ubuntu's eth0 IPv4 address)
    eth1
    192.168.20.1 = your E1200 will gets its WAN IPv4 address from this subnet - most common scenario for IPv4 wifi routers running inside enterprise environments today
    * Complete procedure
    1- Install a Ubuntu 12.04.3, to act as your router, on a PC computer with two ethernet cards
    Install the following packages in your Ubuntu Router:
    sudo apt-get install radvd isc-dhcp-server
    2- Prepare your Ubuntu Router (very important step, read it carefully)
    2.1- Ubuntu's file /etc/network/interfaces contents:
    # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
    # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
    # The loopback network interface
    auto lo

    2.2- Configure Ubuntu /etc/sysctl.conf file
    Uncomment the following two lines on it:
    net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
    net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
    After writting, run "sudo sysctl -p" to apply the changes.
    2.3- Configuring Linux Router Advertisement daemon (radvd)
    Your Linux Router Advertisement daemon running on Ubuntu, must have the following content:
    # Ubuntu eth1
    interface eth1
        # Enable RA
        AdvSendAdvert on;
        # Enable clients getting their IPs from DHCPv6

           # When not allowing clients to auto-generate their IPv6 address (SLAAC), DHCPv6 will be used instead
           AdvAutonomous off;
    2.4- Configuring DHCPv6
    Your isc-dhcp-server6 configuration file (/etc/dhcp/dhcpd6.conf) for IPv6 must have the following content:
    ddns-update-style none;
    default-lease-time 600;
    max-lease-time 7200;
    authoritative;
    log-facility local7;

    subnet 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    * Reboot your Ubuntu Router to apply all the changes
    After rebooting it, try to "ping 8.8.8.8" to make sure your Ubuntu Router have at least, IPv4 Internet connectivity.
    NOTE: From this point, you'll be able to start testing IPv6 from behind your Ubuntu Router (i.e. from its eth1), if you connect a Ubuntu Desktop, a Mac or a Windows on Ubuntu's eth1, it will provide IPv4 and IPv6 address to that devices, including your E1200v2 WAN port...
    3- Connect E1200v2 directly into Ubuntu's eth1 ethernet card;
    Plug a RJ45 cable between Ubuntu eth1 ethernet card and E1200v2 WAN port.
    4- Connect a Windows PC at E1200v2 LAN port 1
    This Windows computer will be used to (re)configure your E1200v2 with Cisco Connect everytime a reset is desired.
    5- Reset (restore it from factory defaults) your E1200v2 router;
    Press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds.
    6- Install Cisco Connect in your Windows PC (LAN port 1);
    Boot(reboot) Windows and install Cisco Connect on it.
    7- Configure your E1200v2 as usual (by finishing Cisco Connect installation procedure);
    After concluding this step, your Windows PC will have both IPv4 and IPv6 address, that come from E1200v2.
    Windows gets its IPv4 from DHCP and IPv6 from SLAAC (main point of the problem), both provided by E1200v2.
    NOTE: From this point, you'll be able to see the problem with E1200v2 internal RA daemon, you'll lose your IPv6 connectivity that come from E1200v2. But, lets keep testing it...
    8- Browse the Internet (still IPv4);
    That's it, try to browse google.com from your Windows PC, if Ubuntu Router can "ping google.com", Windows PC should be able to do it so.
    9- Open Windows Command Prompt and type: ipconfig, ping, etc;
    Run "ipconfig" to see your IPv4 and IPv6 address...
    Run "ping 8.8.8.8" to see if you can reach the Internet...
    10- Open Google Chrome or Firefox and open your E1200v2 Web Admin Interface at http://192.168.1.1/
    Access your E1200v2 Web Admin and go to the "Status -> Router" menu.
    Write down its Internet IPv6 address, it will be something like this:
    IPv6 - Internet IP Address: 2001:db8:1:1::2000
    NOTE: You can get this address at the Ubuntu Router itself, by reading the file /var/log/syslog (`grep pool' might help), for example:
    # grep pool /var/log/syslog
    Sep 24 00:47:13 ubuntu-router-1 dhcpd: Picking pool address 2001:db8:1:1::2000
    Sep 24 00:47:13 ubuntu-router-1 dhcpd: Picking pool prefix 2001:db8:1:1::/56
    You'll see the above message on your Ubuntu Router, right after turning on your E1200v2. Pool address is the IPv6 Internet IP Address of your E1200v2's WAN port, pool prefix is the delegated subnet to your E1200v2 router. After thatn, it will start to advertiser that block on its LAN ports and WiFi (which doesn't work as expected, there is a problem there, whithin E1200v2 itself.
    11- Install a Ubuntu 12.04.3 Server connected at E1200v2 LAN port 2, to test IPv6 connectivity in deep;
    Here is the most important test:
    * Testing the IPv6 connectivity from E1200v2 LAN ports.
    This test is very simple, we just need to try ping E1200v2's IPv6 Internet IP Address.
    This Ubuntu Server will have the following content on its /etc/network/interfaces file:
    # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
    # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
    # The loopback network interface
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    # The primary network interface
    auto eth0
    # IPv6 - SLAAC - No DHCPv6 client required - E1200v2 will kicks off this IPv6, and I don't know why...
    iface eth0 inet6 auto
    # IPv4 - Requires DHCPv4
    iface eth0 inet dhcp
    After this, your Ubuntu Server will be able to "ping 8.8.8.8" and "ping6 2001:db8:1:1::2000" (E1200v2 WAN IPv6 Address noted before).
    To prove that E1200v2 have a problem with IPv6, try to ping it, just run:
    mtr -n 2001:db8:1:1::2000
    ...And after a few minutes, Ubuntu Server will lose its IPv6 address, because E1200v2 is kicking it off.
    You'll be able to see a lots of package loss going on "mtr -n 2001:db8:1:1::2000".
    If you connect a Mac OSX on E1200v2 LAN por 3, for example, it will also lose its IPv6 from time to time.
    Wireless clients connected at E1200v2, like Android, iPad, Windows, Mac and Ubuntu laptops, also loses its IPv6 (that come from E1200v2) from time to time.
    You guys must note that the E1200v2 itself, ramdomly becomes unreacheable from its own LAN ports (via IPv6)!! Which is unnaceptable.
    12- Boot a Ubuntu Desktop 13.04 Live CD connected at E1200v2 LAN port 3 to test IPv6 connectivity in deep;
    Boot a Ubuntu Desktop connected at your LinkSys E1200v2 router, and open 2 Terminals, on each of it, you should run:
    Terminal 1:
    mtr -n 2001:db8:1:1::2000
    Terminal 2:
    sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog
    You'll be able to see a lots of package loss going on "mtr -n 2001:db8:1:1::2000" after a few minutes AND at the syslog, you'll be able to see when you lose your IPv6, that come from E1200v2.
    Conclusion
    E1200v2 doesn't have a working IPv6 Router Advertisement service. Please Cisco, fix it!
    The IPv4 from behind E1200v2 is fine, I'm using LinkSys products for about +10 years now... First time with problems like this but, IPv6 is more or like new and, problems are expected... Lets work on it?!

    Try to use dhclient perhaps?  Might I also suggest letting systemd deal with the dhcp issue and not NM.  That may seem incongruous but it is possible NM is mis-handling the dhcp hand-off to the network card.  I'm no guru but I got thinking about this when I saw this in your output:
    aug 26 19:15:39 arch_daboka NetworkManager[527]: <info> (enp1s0): device state change: ip-check -> secondaries (reason 'none') [80 90 0]
    aug 26 19:15:39 arch_daboka NetworkManager[527]: <info> (enp1s0): device state change: secondaries -> activated (reason 'none') [90 100 0]
    aug 26 19:15:40 arch_daboka NetworkManager[527]: <info> NetworkManager state is now CONNECTED_LOCAL
    It is very possible that I'm mis-interpreting this information so please take it with a boulder of salt. 

  • Does SRP series routers support VRRP?

    Hi,
    can somebody check if SRP routers support VRRP or HSRP? In documentation isn't this capability mentioned. I need make a backup to my main IOS based router.
    Regards, Martin

    Hi,
    the console port indeed does not support RS232 modem control (data set ready/Data Carrier Detect (DSR/DCD), data terminal ready (DTR)). However, you cannot change the settings on the console port. You need to configure your modem to to ignore DTR and assert autoanswer. The associated Hayes-compatible commands are AT&D0 and ATS0=1, respectively.

  • Which E series routers support the Wireless_Advanced.asp hidden page?

    I know the E2500 and the E4200 support the http://192.168.1.1/Wireless_Advanced.asp settings but what other E series routers support this hidden page where you can set Beacon Interval, RTS and Fragmentation thresholds?

    I own the E3000 v1 and it has this feature so I presume that the E1000 & E2000 have this feature. You say that E2500 & the E4200 have the feature.  I presume that the E1200 v1 to E4200 v1 have the feature while E1200 v2 to E4200 do not have the feature. See new userguide for E1200 to E4200.

  • How long do Linksys routers last?

    Hello.
    Is it me or do Linksys routers do not last very long? I had two different Linksys routers (many years ago's BEFSX41 v1 and 2009's WRT54GL v1.1 with their latest stock firmwares). BEFSX41's network stopped loading correctly even with its internal web pages and after reinstalling its latest firmware. WRT54GL seems to be having random and rare wired network disconnection problems with my computers and cable modem, so maybe it is the router. My friend's five years old Linksys WRT router was misbehaving even with third party firmwares (both DD-WRT and Tomato).
    Do these consumer routers not last very long?
    Thank you in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    For me, it really depends on how we we use the device. There's no definite time span on how long the device will last. If you're having problems with the device, there are workarounds that you may do to get it working again.

  • Interconnecting two Linksys Routers

    I have two linksys routers WRT54G with Internet IP 10.254.1.58 and LAN IP 192.168.1.1 and the second Router WVRS4400N with Internet IP Address 10.254.1.67 and LAN IP 192.168.1.1. Both Routers use same Internet Gateway 10.254.1.1 and Subnet 255.255.255.0.
    In WRT54G Router, there is a network Printer 192.168.1.50 connected to its LAN Port. Since both Routers are within the same building and the users connected to WVRS4400N cannot PRINT in the Network Printer connected to WRT54G Router. I would like to have users connected to both Routers to be able to share this Network Printer. Please help me how I can do Routing within the two Routers. Please HELP.

    Let me know the kind of connection you are using .... are you using WRT54G router behind WRVS4400N router or vice versa .,....
    Also let me know is the connection coming from any router ??

  • Guest networking features on Linksys routers?

    Do any of Linksys routers have the recently popular guest network access feature where you can create a password protected or no password secondary network that provides internet-only access to guests and prevents them from accessing your main network (computers, printers, HDDs etc?). Does Linksys's highest end WRT610N have a similar feature that works slightly differently but does the same thing?

    Peanuts,
    It really doesn't answer our question. I want file and printer sharing enabled on my netwrok and I do not know what their work group is (they are guest) besides Windows Vista and Windows7 see computers in other workgroups with no problems. So with file and printer sharing enabled on my home network and wireless guest loging into the gust access on the router can they ever see the home computers.
    The computers connected to the guest network will NOT be able to see the computers connected to your home network. Just like what VALETLINKSYS said, the guest network is using another IP range which is 192.168..33.xxx which is totally different from the IP range of the home network - 192.168.1.x.

  • HT204023 Does the iPhone Personal Hotspot support WDS?

    I understand that WDS is a requirement for range extending an iPhone Hotspot.  Does the iPhone support WDS?  Alternatively, Has any tried using a range extender to boost the signal of an iPhone hotspot? If so, which manufacturer and model number?  Thx.

    Do you honestly think that such a feature would exist on the phone if it had the potential to damage it? Use some common sense.
