How to set up the airport express with a linksys wireless-g broadband router

I need to know if and how to set up an airport express to use to extend a home wi-fi network. I have AT&T service with a 2WIRE modem. I am using a Linksys wireless-G broadband router. I also have the new Macbook Air notebook. The airport express keeps giving me a blinking amber light even when the ethernet cable (from the modem) connected. Please let me know how to set up an extended wifi network using this system. Any help would be appreciated.

If that is all that is done, the Express would not provide more wireless coverage. Instead, it would duplicate the coverage provided by the Linksys and there would be two WiFi systems covering approximately the same area. As per my above comment, one Express connects via Ethernet to the Linksys. The second Express provides the extension.
You must have misunderstood what I was saying.
Linksys is providing a wireless network.
The Express is connected to one of the LAN ports on the Linksys router using a long Ethernet cable (or Ethernet powerline adapters)
The Express is located on the other side of the house, for example.
The Express is configured to create a wireless network using the same wireless network name, security and password as the Linksys router
The Express is configured in Bridge Mode
This has worked quite well for me for years. Computers "switch" from one wireless access point to another smoothly and automatically while they move around the house.
Although this is an "extended" network, it is technically known as a "roaming" network.
This is what I was suggesting as a possible alternative without having to buy more hardware.

I recently purchased an airport extreme base station. I want to replace my older linksys wireless router. I had a successful set up but can not get it to talk to broadband modem, I am missing something but what?

I recently purchased an airport extreme to replace my older linksys wireless router. had a successful set up but can not get connected to the internet. for some reason, which I am sure is apparent to others, i am missing some needed info to connect to the dsl broadband modem that I have. would love some good tips.

Try this:
Turn off or remove power from the DSL model, the router, and your computer. Wait not less than one minute. Restore power to the modem and wait until the status lights indicate a connection to the ISP. Next, restore power to the router and wait until the status light shows connection to the modem. Last, turn on the computer. Check your Network preferences to be sure they are configured for a DHCP connection and that the router has received a valid IP address (not 169.xxx.xxx.xxx).

Lost IP access to Linksys wireless router WRT54GS v.4. How to restore?

Apologies for the long post and multiple questions. If you can answer at least one of them, I will be appreciative!
While attempting to set-up wireless networking between my new Westell Model 6100G and Linksys wireless router WRT54GS v.4 (with most recent upgraded firmware), I lost access to the Linksys. When I hooked up the Linksys again via Ethernet to my XP PC with the modem no longer connected, I was unable to access it via IP 192.168.1.1. All I get is a blank web browser page (with the usual “diagnose, etc.” button). I assumed this is because the IP address conflicts with IP for the Westell, but I am also concerned if it is hardware failure. I have tried resetting the router, but no luck. I have tried ipconfig /all which gave me a different ip address. But when I tried to access the Linksys using this ip address, I was unsuccessful. I hooked up the router to a different pc with no present Internet access and tried IP 192.168.1.1, but still no luck. Trying the IP I got from ipconfig /all at this new pc failed as well.
Is there a chance I have a hardware failure? I had access last night when the linksys was at its original location (I only checked it once before turning in), but I seem to have lost access ever since I moved it closer to my desk and to a new electrical outlet. When turned on, the Linksys has green lights in the right places, so it looks fine, but, again, no access via IP.
If it’s not hardware failure, how do I find out what IP address the Linksys actually uses now if it is no longer 192.168.1.1? Or how do I change it?
Is a WRT54GS v.4 worth the trouble or should I start over and upgrade to a newer router?
Is Linksys the best choice with the Westell 6100G? The configuration procedures seem very complicated compared to my ease of router/modem configuring in the past.
Solved!

"_when I setup the Westell modem in bridge mode, will I lose my Internet connection?_ "
Answering my own question: "yes."
I found what looks like a good step-by-step guide to hooking up a Westell 6100 to a Linksys
router at:
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/vz/4._Hardware#13600
It provides more detail and up-to-date illustrations than Verizon's instructions at
https://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/HighSpeed/Networking/SetUp/QuestionsOne/87126.htm
(which appear to be for an earlier version of the Westell 6100), although they are otherwise similar. The DSLreports faq confirms that Internet and IP access to the modem will be lost during the setup phase. For a "newbie" at such linking, this bit of information is very helpful!
Thank you, Telcoguru, for confirming that I should have followed the instructions exactly from beginning to end before becoming concerned and skipping steps.
I will close this thread and wait for a long lazy day, to try linking the Westell and the Linksys again. If I need to post again, it will hopefully be with more specific questions about specific steps that haven't worked as they should.

My iPad will no longer connect to my Linksys wireless router. Every other electronic device in our house connects just fine. What can I do?

I have an iPad (the earliest version) that used to connect to my Linksys wireless router with no difficulty. One night recently I could not get on the internet through my iPad. I checked the Wi-Fi information, which said it was not connected.When I go through the process of choosing a network, on which my home system is clearly listed along with a very strong signal strength, I am told that my iPad is unable to join my own network. All the other electronic devices in our house are connected and functioning fine. Can anyone walk me through the steps to correct this problem?
I need to add that I took my iPad to the Appple store, and the clerk there reset something--I don't know what--and my iPad was able to connect to their network. When I came home, though, I was not able to connect to my home network.

If everything else is connecting with no issues, I would go into the wifi setting on the iPad and redo the info there, user, password and anything else related to your wifi at your house.
It is possible whatever he reset may have reset something to default setting which will not allow it to connect. If you need too then verify the wifi setting by comparing it with another device setting that works on your home network.
Good luck

Can't connect PB G4 to linksys wireless router when 64bit is established

Hello-
I have my PB G4 connected (wirelessly) to a linksys wireless router WRTP54G. If I don't have security set on the router, the PB connects. Once I add the security (64bit) and enter the password, the message "There was an error joining the AirPort network” comes up and I can’t connect. I've connected my other laptop to the network (a PC).
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you in advance.

Does your router support any other form of encryption? See if this KB article makes any sense to you.
AirPort: Joining an encrypted wireless network
Personally, I have a sneaky suspicion it has to do with the way your ASCII/hexadecimal password is or isn't being converted to something recognisable by the router. I use a Linksys router at home with a hexadecimal password generated from an ASCII passphrase, and that seems to work fine.

Airport express using WPS to Linksys Wireless router?

I have a Linksys Wireless router set up to server wireless signal to macs and PCs in my office. It works great, but one of the far offices can't get enough signal.
I bought an airport express assuming I could use it as a repeater in this office.
I'm having some trouble connecting it (config goes great, then when i try and enable WPS mode - entering the current Linksys ID it just flashes orange after restart).
Any tips? Should this be possible?

Linksys Wireless Router Conflicting with Wireless Keyboard and Mouse?

I am getting ready to purchase a Linksys Wireless-N Router with a PCI Wireless-N Adapter (2). Will I have a conflit with my Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse? I have two home computers that I want to set up with a wireless router. Should I use a Linksys Wireless-N Home Router or a Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router? Which Wireless-N PCI Adapters should I use?

No you should not have a problem with the router conflicting with the wireless keyboard/mouse. They are on a different frequency all together from the wireless router.

Linksys Wireless-B Router & Access Point question

Ok, I have a Linksys wireless B router (cant remember the model name off of the top of my head) and it connected to a desktop that I have. I just purchased a Buffalo Wireless-G MIMO router which has the ability to act as an access point. I was wondering if I set the Wireless-B router up to my desktop where my modem is, and then turn on the Access Point feature with my Buffalo router, would the two brands work together or no? Also, if they did work and the Buffalo router acted as an access point would I be able to connect my PS3 via one of the ethernet port on the back of the Buffalo access point? Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
I just purchased this Buffalo router after returning the Linksys Wireless-G with SpeedBooster and having numerous problems with my Verizon DSL (Westell 6100 modem).

Yes you can. Here is a LINK to use as a reference. The only thing you will run into is the routers IP's may be different so make sure they are in the same range. Example router 1:192.168.1.1 and router 2:192.168.1.2 but it may vary depending on what you want your private IP range to be.
The router you want to set as a AP make sure it has the latest firmware and has the SSID/security all set up. Make sure the IP for the router is set then disable the DHCP. Then connect router 1 via numbered port to the number 1 port of the second router.

Linksys Wireless N Router w/ Belkin Wireless G Adapter Connection?

I recently bought a Linksys wireless n router to better serve my two new laptops with wireless n cards. They are now lightning fast and super reliable. However, my desktop, which has a Belkin wireless g card connects about a third as fast and last only about 5-10 minutes before needing to be reconnected, which can cometimes take a while itself. I changed the channel to 11 which helped a little and am running the router on 20 MHz only.
My previous router was a Belkin wireless G.
I'm looking for answers/explanations and possible solutions to speeding up my desktop's speed and increasing its reliability w/o jeopardizing my laptops' supreme performance.
Thanks for your help,
~Josh

Set the Channel Width to 40MHz only,Wide Channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz and click on save settings...Under the Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...Under the Security tab,uncheck.. dw(vs_internetfilter0);Filter Anonymous Internet Requests and click on save settings..Now,power cycle the router and check...

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. Any tips on how to do this?

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. I installed the current Bonjour printer services software on the Windows machine, and separately installed the driver software for the Epson printer on the WIndows machine. Running the bonjour wizard, I get an alert saying 'I don't have sufficient access to my computer to connect to the selected printer'.
The printer has 'sharing' turned on from the Mac end; this works with a Powerbook via the wireless connection. Sharing is also turned on in the Windows printer control panel for this printer (under properties). The Mac is a G5 running 10.5.8. When I try to print a page from the Windows machine it gets hung in the print queue.
Any advice how to proceed would be appreciated!
thx,

How do I connect my laptop to my Linksys wireless router through the internal wireless card?

I just purchased a gateway laptop and was trying to hook my Linksys wireless router up to it. Ive gotten it hooked up but only through the secondary device (that catches the signal)... I was wondering if there is anyway that I could make my internal wireless internet card a point or no? Can I only connect it to the USB network adapter or is there really a way to go COMPLETELY wireless? Thank you for your time...

Is your internal wireless card enabled? Go to device manager and make sure it is enabled.

Connecting itouch via Linksys wireless router

My itouch connects to my Linksys router but cannot log on to the internet ("server not found"}. My macbook connects fine and my itouch connects to other servers without problem. DNS, router # all are displayed on the DHCP panel and look fine. Any ideas??

I'll repeat some steps to try that I posted in another thread ... some of these you may have done, but take note of #4, that's what bit me and I don't see that posted anywhere else.
1- Turn on SSID broadcast if it is turned off. Your Touch needs to see the network in order to connect for the first time. You may be able to turn SSID broadcast off at the end, if you feel its necessary.
2- Check the encryption type you're using (WEP or WPA) and whatever security code is being used. Make a note of that.
3- Check to see if you have MAC Address filtering enabled. If so, disable it temporarily.
4- Check to see if your router is set to only issue a maximum number of IP addresses. It bugged me for a long time why I could randomly get on my network sometimes, but not always. Turned out that my router was issuing a max of 4 IP addresses and when my Touch couldn't connect, it was because the max had been reached!
5- Now see if your Touch sees your network ID. If so, select it and enter the passcode from step 2.
6- If you're able to get on your network, check to see that your router sees the MAC Address of your Touch. Make a note of that address and add it to the MAC Address filter if you're going to turn it back on (see step 3).
7- (optional) Change your home network to use Open DNS (http://www.opendns.com/), which has nothing to do with your Touch's ability to connect to your home network, but has some nice security and administrative features.

Macbook causes Linksys wireless router to crash

My daughters Macbook causes the Linksys wireless router to crash. I've already loaded the latest Linksys firmware but it did not help. It's the only computer that causes the router to crash. I have used several other non-Apple systems on the network without any problems.
I think it's something that the Macbook is transmitting out but haven't pinpointed what it is and how to fix it.
Any ideas on how to get her Macbook to work on our network wirelessly?

Welcome to the discussions!
What you are asking is if the Linksys can broadcast a wireless signal to the AirPort Extreme and then have the AirPort Extreme connect to the G4 using ethernet.
The short answer is "no". For more details, please read on.
This is not possible because the ethernet ports are not active on the AirPort Extreme in this type of configuration. The ethernet ports on the AirPort Extreme would only be active if the device were configured to "extend a wireless network".
But, the AirPort Extreme can only "extend a wireless network" from another Apple device as it is not compatible with the products of other manufacturers for this purpose.

Linksys Wireless Router: WRT54G Version: 2

I was just curious, since I have been talking to someone about the Linksys Routers and they were saying that WRT54G Versions 3, 4 & 5, all work successfully. Then when I asked him about Version 2, he said that he THINKS that the router will work.
Can someone please give me an answer: Will the Linksys Wireless Router: WRT54G Version: 2 work with a MacBook Pro?!

I get from 3 to 6 Mbps wireless and wired, which is considerably slower than my other Windows-based desktop and notebook over my 30 Mbps cable connection. My Dell notebook and desktop consistently get 15 Mbps wireless and 22 to 28 Mbps wired. Mac OS is relatively new to me, so I haven't had a chance to read as much I need to about optimizing connection speeds. But, I can either fix it by optimizing it, or perhaps Apple will come out with a firmware update since some people have been complaining about slow connections speeds and dropping connections.
In my work, I have several computers going at the same time, and for typical Web surfing, I see no difference in speed between the 6 Mps on the Mac and the 15 Mpbs on the Dell---it's really limited anyway by the Web site server. I do notice a difference in download times, but even for very large files, the difference is noticeable but not a problem. And, there has never been a problem streaming video or downloading trailers, etc.
Of course, only five years ago, my cable connection was first 128 Kbps (which was high speed then), then they jumped it up 1 Mpbs, then 10 Mbps, and now 30 Mbps---so the 6 Mbps on the Mac still seems pretty fast to me.
Speed will always be slower over the wireless compared to your Ethernet connection, but once you get speeds in excess of 1 Mbps, you only see the difference in download times, surfing is the same.
