Does WRT54G receive + transmit wireless?

I'm concerned that the WRT54G recommended by Best Buy is not the solution I need. I don't want to open the package until I figure this out (since it's no fun trying to return at Best Buy). I have a wireless router in-place serving both wired and wireless devices in one area of my house. I have another area that has 3 wired devices I want to connect and bought the WRT54G router as an access point with wired ports, so I wouldn't have to run cable across my house. I downloaded the users manual and checked what meager specs were on the linksys site and can't confirm that the WRT54G will serve as an access point by receiving a wireless signal from my existing wireless router, rather than getting input via cable from the cable modem. The access point I found at the store only had one wired port and I didn't want to have to put a hub behind it to handle multiple devices. Hope this makes sense. Appreciate any input.

Only the Client Bridge, WRT54G, requires DD-WRT.  Have you seen the sample pic for Wireless Bridge?

Also the instructions say WEP security....  WPA works too.  Just take your time and follow the instructions to the letter and you should be fine.  And dont forget the resets, reset before flashing and reset after.

  • I have an HP2055dn printer that isn't receiving a wireless signal from an Mac Airport router.

    I moved the printer and it doesn't receive the wireless signal.  Does the printer need to be attached to my computer for it to receive a wireless signal from another computer? 

    Hi,
    Do you use access point (AP) for your network ? The printer needs to be close to the AP, not computer(s). One option is to have a booster/amplifier but this costs money and time.

  • Help two macs with identical setup and one does not receive phone calls using Yosemite and iOS 8.1 on iPhone 6. What is going on Apple?

    Ive got an imac from 2008 and MBPr from 2013. the imac does indeed receive regular calls but the newer  mac, the MBPr from 2013 does not.
    what is going on apple?
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), iOS 8.1

    i got it. I fixed it by setting Time Zone in automatically in both iphone and MBC
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences > Date & Time > Date & Time.
    Enable "Set Automatically".
    Click the Time Zone tab and confirm the closest city is correct.
    do the same in the iphone and it will work 

  • In what QOS does the receiver SOAP adapter work BE or EO?

    Hi,
    In what QOS does the receiver SOAP adapter work BE or EO?
    My guess is that it is by default EO, if so how do i make it work like synchronous?
    There is no option to set it explicitly.
    Thanks]
    Shakthi

    Siva,
    In receiving adapter you can't set the status. The receiving QOS is set in the pipeline by using the Sender Comm.channel QOS.
    So for example in SOAP to SOAP scenario, if you set the Sender comm.channel as BE, then through out the Pipeline till it reaches the Receiver Comm.channel the QOS will be considered as BE only( Even though you didn't explicitly said to the Receiver comm.channel).
    Hope it helps!

  • Does Apple TV support wireless connection to the new MacBook Pro retina in an extended display mode?

    Does Apple TV support wireless connection to the MacBook Pro retina display in an extended display mode? What is the output resolution and is sound also transmitted across?

    SB1983, by extended display do you mean mirror?  All MBP since early 2011 support it if they are running OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.  The resolution will depend on your Apple TV (2 Gen is 720 and 3rd Gen 1080) and wifi, it will lose some quality but I find it minimal.  It does also mirror the sound.

  • Phone does not receive incoming calls

    Please help.  Verizon can't seem to.  My phone does not receive 90% of its incoming calls or messages.  I have been told to delete all of my messages and call logs- no use.  I have tried removing the battery and resetting the phone.  I did make sure the phone was not in "do not disturb" mood- it is not.  People who call me say that it doesn't ring, just goes straight to voice mail even though the phone is on.  Very frustrating problem as my 6 year old phone before seemed to give me better service.  I feel like a child who is only allowed to make outgoing calls!  Please help.  All suggestions are welcome.  Thank you.

    Check the Call Forwarding section. There are two options to select. One says Forward All Calls and the other says Forward Unanswered Calls. Make sure Forward All Calls is not selected. That would cause all calls to go to the number specified which may be your voicemail. To get there from the home screen click the Phone icon > push the option button (left of the trackball) > click options > click Call Forwarding.

  • My iPhone does not receive call phones

    My problem is that most of the time my iPhone does not receive phone calls. I can call, send and receive sms, mail works, wifi, everything. But most of the incoming calls are not received, therefore my iPhone is not reliable as a phone. I have updated the firmware, I have reset it several times, but nothing changed. If I make a call phone and don't switch my iPhone, the person I have call can call me back and likely I would receive the call!!??? Someone can help me to fix my problem? Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    Try testing the iPhone without any accessories.
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1737 provides general tips that will resolve most issues related to making and receiving calls.
    Try contacting the cellular service provider, if the issue persists after trying the tips in the article above. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937 provides support resources for iPhone service providers.

  • Wrt54g as a wireless card

    I have a wrt54g running my wireless network, can i use another wrt54g as a wireless reciever to add another computer to my system?

    No.. You just need to get an extra wireless adapter, it can PCI/USB wireless adapter for desktop computer user or wireless PCMCIA card/USB wireless adapter for laptop user (check first, most likely there is built-in wireless adapter on laptop).

  • Does Linksys Make a Wireless-N Cable Modem/Router Combo

    Does Linksys make a wireless-n gateway router, a combination router and cable modem?
    I currently have the combo device for wireless-g but want to upgrade to wireless-n.
    Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I think at the moment Linksys does not sell 802.11n gateways.
    I generally recommend not to get combo devices but better get two separate devices, one simple modem and a wireless router.
    1. You have a far larger product choice for the router and they are usually cheaper.
    2. If the router dies you can still have internet through the modem directly. If the combo device dies you are offline.
    3. Less functions in a device makes simpler design and in average more stable and reliable devices.
    4. You can replace either device at any point. For instance, if you switch from cable to DSL or FTTH you can simple replace the modem. You may have to change the internet connection setting on the router but other then that you can keep the router. Likewise, if in two years from now you want to get the next-generation wireless router you can keep using your modem (if it is still fit for your internet speed)
    Just some to think about...

  • Upgraded to Maverick. Now cannot connect to wifi. All my other devices will connect. Have rest wireless hot spot switch and cable modem. Other devices still connect but MacPro does not. MacPro wireless is self assigning an IP address blocking access.

    Upgraded to Maverick. Now cannot connect to wifi. All my other devices will connect. Have rest wireless hot spot switch and cable modem. Other devices still connect but MacPro does not. MacPro wireless is self assigning an IP address blocking access. It will connect if I connect to my iPhone hot spot via wifi. Any ideas?

    If you follow this video you'll see how to delete your WiFi AP from the OS, this will allow you to select it again which I feel will correct your problem.
