Ethernet Bridge?

Hello,
I no longer have a network card or an internet account. There is a public access point close by I would like to use.
I have an wrt54g v2.0(latest firmware). Can I connect my computer to it and then use the 54g to connect to the AP.
Is that an ethernet bridge?
I read many of the other posts about this but didn't understand.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

dmo ,
The wrt54g dont have a bridging capabilities... sorry to inform you, But i think you can purchase a WET54G it is a bridge where it can connect to a Access Point...
Many thanks,

wE dOnt gEt mAd! wE gEt evEn!

  • Thunderbolt Ethernet bridge not recognised

    I have an original Apple Thunderbolt Ethernet bridge (TEB) for my brand new MBP 13" retina Mid 2014 edition and I am running Yosemite 10.10.2. I connect to the internet via ethernet regularly to play online video games. I recently plugged in my TEB and found that it wasn't connecting me to the internet. I checked network preferences and tried to run diagnostics but in the network preferences it says there is nothing plugged into the Thunderbolt port. However, when I go to system information and under the hardware tab I selected Thunderbolt, with the TEB connected there is a little drop down menu named Thunderbolt bus and under it it says Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. If I remove the TEB, this drop down option is not there, which gives me the impression that the computer is recognising the TEB, but somehow something is wrong with the software that isn't allowing me to connect.
    Further information before any of you suggest something simple because I've tried all the simple solutions
    I went to the apple store with my TEB and asked them to check if it was working, they confirmed that there is nothing wrong.
    I've also used a brand new ethernet cable, one that I know is working to connect to the modem. And obviously my internet is working because otherwise I wouldnt be writing this.
    So if anyone knows what I can do to fix this problem please help!

  • Apple TV as an Ethernet Bridge

    I currently have an Airport Extreme (802.11g) router next to my cable modem. In the living room I have an Airport Express which is acting as a music streaming device, as well as an ethernet bridge for my xbox 360. I can't remember how I set it up, something about expanding my airport network. But the airport express shares the wireless internet connection over ethernet so the xbox 360 can access xbox live.
    Anyway, I'd like to have my Apple TV do the same thing. I'd like to have my apple TV sync and access the internet wirelessly and share the internet connection over ethernet for the xbox 360 much like the Airport Express has been doing for a year.
    Is this possible?

    Apple TV will not do that, it is not a router similar to the Extreme or the Express.

  • Can't get ethernet bridge to connect to network

    Hi
    I am trying to connect my old iMac G3 (10.2) to my airport express network with an Aeropad Mini (an ethernet bridge powered by USB hub on my mac - made by Macsense).
    The network is seen successfully by an iMac G5, an Intel Macbook and a PC. The connection occasionally works but more often than not it does not see my airport express - instead it connects to a self-assigned IP. Sometimes it connects then drops off halfway through. Other times it just will not connect at all.
    There are no drivers and you set it up via your browser. I can connect to the status and set-up page (192.168.1.50), after entering all the Aeropad info manually, and most times it can see my Airport Express (via the Site Survey on the set-up pages). but sometimes it does not even get that far. I reset the aeropad and restart the mac many times, and sometimes it works but mostly it doesn't.
    I'm using channel 11 and it's WAP-encrypted.
    Things I've tried:
    updating the firmware from the macsense website
    checking it's on client mode
    manually entering the DNS address of my router - 10.0.1.1.
    Trashing the internetconfig preferences from the library
    making sure that ethernet is at the top of my network port configurations
    Plugging it into a powered USB hub
    Trying it on my MacBook (running Leopard).
    Still can't connect - just a self-assigned IP - even on on the new macbook.
    Any help would be appreciated as I really can't get this to work and it's beginning to take over my life!. I thought it was working after I entered the DNS address but it just went down again the next day.
    Thanks.

    This is probably repeating the steps which you have taken already, but I thought I'd put them in one place just in case.
    Problem:
    If you're able to see other wireless networks but not your own. (And it works with AppleTV version 1.x)
    It can be any of the following:
    1. No wireless signal/out of range (check your multicast setting and put this as low as possible, check the range with other wireless devices/moving your appletv closer)
    2. The wireless SSID is set to invisible/private (use "Other" on AppleTV and enter the SSID manually.)
    3. The AppleTV doesn't support the channel used. (Tune the wireless to use a lower channel such as those under 10.)
    4. The AppleTV is not supporting the security of your encryption.
    Troubleshooting:
    1. First try setting up a basic wireless network with no security, no frills such as a high multicast rate or high channel number and as a basic wireless b or g network. Position the AppleTV next to the basestation and then attempt to make the appletv connect to it. (Do not use an AdHoc network with your mac, as the AppleTV doesn't see these.) At this stage you're just trying to see if the AppleTV is even able to connect to your hardware. If this doesn't work there is possibly a larger problem at hand.
    2. If this works, then move the devices to their desired locations. (This checks that it's not a range/interference issue.)
    3. If this is still working, then the problem lays in a configuration setting. Firstly enable a security protocol, avoid WEP. Keep adding settings, keeping changes from the default to a minimum.
    If you can't get past step 1, then it could be an issue with your wifi base station. Try getting the AppleTV to connect to a different wireless basestation (perhaps borrow one from a friend or a neighbour's unsecured network.)

  • How do you determine the IP address of an ethernet bridge?

    I've got a US Robotics ethernet bridge connected to a Mac running OS 10.3.9, and I'm trying to access the bridge's web browser interface. (Once I get to that interface, I'll be home free.)
    The bridge does not have a default IP address, the connection software on its CD-ROM is PC-only, and USR tech support is baffled. So how can I find out its address?
    I've tried looking in System Preferences -> Network, in System Profiler and in Network Utility, but it appears that they only display the computer's address, not the bridge's.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
    iMac G3   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I presume you are taking about the USR5430?
    No, it's the USR5432, which unfortunately doesn't have a default IP address (unlike the 5430). The USR site has this to say about connecting to the 5432:
    Macintosh and Linux Users
    The networking device that the Bridge is connected to probably has some form of Web User Interface where you can view a client list. Refer to your networking device's documentation to determine how to view this information.
    When you find the client list, locate the Bridge. You can do this by verifying the LAN MAC address that is on the bottom label of the Bridge and what appears in the client list. Write down the IP address of the Bridge for future reference.
    Open a Web browser, type in the IP address of the Bridge, and then press Enter. This will open the Web User Interface of the Bridge.
    The bridge only has an IP address when it is in
    configuration mode.
    That makes sense. And I am in fact trying to locate the bridge's address in order to configure it.
    Nevertheless, thank you for the suggestion.

  • Setting up router with ethernet bridge

    I have a new computer and want to re-setup my Linksys Model BEFSX41 Version 2 broadband firewall router with the Linksys Model WET11 wireless-b ethernet bridge to use my laptop wirelessly.  I don't want the desktop pc to be wireless, just the laptop.  Do I follow the steps in the FAQ "Hos do I setup my Cable modem with my Linksys Router?".  Then are there more instructions for the ethernet bridge?
    The pc is in the basement with the cable modem and Linksys router.  The ethernet bridge is upstairs where the laptop is.  Is this easy enough do to, or am I better off paying $75 to a computer tech to come to my house to do it?
    Thank you for any suggestions.
    Diane

    You cannot do the job that you described with the equipment that you listed.
    It is not clear from your note how you intend to use the WET11.  A wireless bridge is designed to receive a wireless signal (from a wireless router) and send it to a computer that is wired to the WET11.
    For example, the following setup would work:
    modem -- wireless router )))      ((( Wet11 -- computer
    but you never mentioned that you have a wireless router.
    Note that your WET11 cannot broadcast a network, for example, the following DOES NOT work:
    modem -- BEFSX41 -- WET11 )))      ((( wireless computer
    However, instead of (incorrectly) trying to use the WET11 to broadcast a network, you could use a WAP (wireless access point) to broadcast your network.   For example, the following would work:
    modem--BEFSX41--WAP )))   ((( wireless computer
                                      and/or   ((( WET11--wired computer
    For a WAP, you could use a WAP54G or a WAP200.
    Hope this helps.

  • Request: Provide Ethernet Bridging to NON-WDS Networks!!!

    I realize that the topic I am adding here has been discussed quite a few times and also that many comments were made on the issue at least as often. What I am trying to understand is this:
    Why did the initial design of the Airport Express turn off or not provide Ethernet bridging in client mode?
    My brother gave me the AE as a gift over a year ago and just recently I got a wireless router and dsl modem (in one unit) and was able to install the AE for the following usage (which I consider reasonable and 100% compliant to what was written on the box):
    - stream airtunes to the stereo in the living room (ok)
    - get my playstation2 online using the ethernet port (no way)
    Now that I have gone through hours of internet searching regarding WDS, I see that Apple has not intended the AE for this usage as it is only possible using Airport units. Don't get me wrong, but I am not going to go out and buy another base station in the form of any other Airport unit (especially after reading the other threads regarding their reliability!) just to get the funtionality of an Ethernet bridge.
    Bridging requires little to no additional intelligence in the unit other than mirroring the network traffic it is hearing on the wireless side. And that is obviously available since the WDS configuration offers that. I am aware of technical details (I built up the internals of a wireless ethernet bridge in a Hiperlan/2 network over three years ago at a research facility) and want to know why this is not done by default?? The AE is heating my living room as it is and I consider this a reasonable request for a new firmware edition - those who don't use ethernet bridging wouldn't notice a difference and the AE would finally fulfil what is promised on the box.
    Thanks for your time and perhaps persuasion in handling this issue - I hope my AE lasts long enough to experience this firmware edition if it ever gets out there.

  • Web-based utility will not load on new wet54g ethernet bridge

    I just got a WET54g ethernet bridge to connect my bluray player to my existing network (wrt54gs router).  I cannot get the setup cd to recognize the bridge connected to the laptop or the router.  I thought that it would be no problem, just use web-based set-up.  When attempting to access 192.168.1.226 I have to enter the password three times and then a blank page is loaded.  Chat support ended up getting disconnected, so no luck there.  Supposedly some of the steps chat wallked me through updated the firmware through ftp download, but I feel like nothing was done since you can't access the set-up page. Any suggestions are welcome.  I'm running vista if that helps.

    Start it from Scratch...Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your WET54G(ethernet bridge), wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your WET54G(ethernet bridge)...Follow the link here to re-configure the WET54G(ethernet bridge)...Also under the configuration type select Static IP Address : For IP Address enter : 192.168.1.226, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 and save the settings...
    After doing these you can unplug the Ethernet Bridge from the router and power cycle your router and the ethernet bridge both...Connect your ethernet bridge to your bluray player and test for active connection...

  • WRT610N v2- Which Ethernet Bridge to buy to go with it for LG BD370 BluRay player?

    I have a WRT610N v2 router, which I LOVE.  I need an ethernet bridge (to connect a LG BD370) Blu-Ray DVD player.  I've spoken with Linksys tech support & I'm sad to say, got misinformed.  I'd actually ordered a PLS300 (which I cancelled) when I found out there weren't any updates for it.  I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. 
    The tech support person first told me I needed a WET610N & then changed her mind.
    The WRT610N is located in the office about 15 yards from where I need to connect the  ethernet support to the entertainment system.   I also have a wireless printer (Lexmark Platinum PRO905 that is about 5 feet from the LG Blu ray player.  Is the ethernet bridge going to interfere with the Blu ray player?
    I'm just wanting to get connected to NetFlix.  I've paid for this service since last spring but am just now getting around to sorting this out.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!  TIA 

    Thanks, Gollum!  I've now got the WET610N ordered & the EZXS55W ethernet switch.  They both should be here by Friday.
    The WRT610N router is in my office, hardwired to the HughesNet modem & HP Desktop running Windows XP Pro.  The two new laptops (HP dv7-3078nr and HP dv8t-1000 (both running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit)) and the Lexmark Platinum Pro905 AIO are in my den (about 30 feet away).  Right now, the dv8 (my main laptop I keep on continuosly & the Lexmark Pro905 are both here in the den, connected wirelessly to the WRT610N.
    Here is the configuration of the entertainment system:
    LG 50PS60 Plasma HDTV
    LG LHT854 Surround Sound
    LG ACC97WK-R Wireless Rear Speaker
    LG BD370 BluRay DVD Player
    I have DISH network with a 722K DVR
    Do I need to connect the WET610N first?  Then add the bridge?  This is where I am afraid I am going to mess up. 
    Right now, everything is working GREAT. 
    Do you think I need to hardwire the Lexmark printer into the switch? 
    Could someone please advise (in very simple steps) what I need to do to get the WET610N & ethernet bridge connected?
    All I want to do is be able to download NetFlix movies!  I am scared that the (((HughesNet))) is going to be the problem due to their low FAP cap.  Due to my location (I am 25 miles from the closest town with wireless (Verizon, Sprint, etc) offices & have already tried 3 different wireless cards here (none of which worked due to our location).
    I'm beginning to think it would have been simpler to just buy the LG BD390 (wifi already installed) & put my BD370 on eBay! LOL
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!  TIA

  • Connecting WAG320n to WRT610n using WET610n ethernet bridge

    I have upgraded my network with a WAG320n Router/modem and have a WET610n (ethernet bridge) in my remote room.  Because the WET is only one port, I would like to connect my old WRT610n router to the bridge, but need to know the right settings and connection info.  The purpose is to use the additional ports and wireless from the remote location.    
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Problem solved and improved on
    Thanks Klatch,
    The WAG320n is nice, but not simultaneous dual band, so I set it for 5Ghz.  I hard wired an accesspoint (WAP610n) to the router, set it for 2.4Ghz, and placed it about 3 meters apart from the Router.  This gave me better access on the second floor for all devices with either bands.  (I gave the access point it's own SSID to distinguish it).
    To expand coverage to the first floor I installed the wireless N Ethernet Bridge (WET610N) on the fringe range of my routers output (still 4 bars).  The bridge is set to 5Ghz - because that's what the WAG320 is.  Then I connected the WRT610N router (which is simultaneous dual band) to the bridge.  You plug the bridge into a LAN port on the WRT610N, NOT the WAN port.  The WRT610 was programmed to 192.168.1.2, DHCP turned off, NAT disabled.  I have the other 3 WAN ports hard wired to devices (Playstation, Slingbox, Blue Ray Player).  All other first floor PC's are connected wirelessly via the 5GHZ or 2.4GHZ bands.  The first floor coverage is excellent.   I maintained different SSID's for each Router and the Access Point, to distinguish which router or band I want to connect to.
    If linksys only made the WAG320 simultaneous dual band, it would provide the extended coverage to all older and newer devices!!    The whole world isn't wrapped around 5Ghz yet!  So..  If you want to extend and use another router as a repeater (wirelessly) you need a wireless Ethernet Bridge (or gaming adaptor) from the primary router and connect it to the secondary router.   Anything can be done with a little effort.  Thanks

  • Airport Express as an Ethernet Bridge....Can it be done?

    I have both a Airport Extreme Base Station and a Express Base Station. I need to connect my TV to the internet (TV has no Wi-Fi, but is internet capable). Can I use my Express Base as an Ethernet Bridge? I already have both "Stations" on one network allowing me to play music from my computer through my home theater system and use the internet at the same time.

    If you have the newer Airport Extreme with "n", not the flying saucer style, then you would probably be better off in the long run to buy the newer "n" version of the Airport Express.
    That way your network would run faster overall then the older b/g series.
    I sold all 3 of my older Airport Express units on eBay and replaced them with the newer "n' models.

  • Use AX as an Ethernet bridge and a WDS relay simutaneously

    I searched the forum but didn't find any conclusive answers. So here goes:
    I need to connect a computer to my existing wireless network (AX as AP), but it doesn't support wireless whatsoever (Sun workstation). So I want to get another AX to use it as an Ethernet bridge.
    My question is, can the AX work as a WDS relay at the same time to extend my existing Airport network?
    Thanks in advance.

    The only way it'll work as an Ethernet bridge is if it is part of a WDS network, so you'd be getting the wireless extension anyway.
    BTW, it would be a WDS Remote, not a WDS Relay.

  • The WRE54G as an ethernet bridge?

    Hiya,
    I have a wre54g  and i also have a xbox 360 thats too far away to plug into the ethernet. As i dont want to pay 99 dollars for microsofts wifi xbox 360 thing, i was wondering if the front ethernet port could possibly be used as an ethernet bridge. That is to say, the device receives the signal and i use the ethernet port to get online with the 360 directly.
    Is such a thing possible? simply plugging in the ethernet cord and power caused it to recognize the fact it was plugged in, but couldent find an ip adress.
    Thanks in advance.

    I purchased a WRE54G range expander because the signal to the upstairs wireless computers was weak.  The expander solved the problem.  However, I thought I could also use it as a ethernet bridge for my son's PS2 -  from this thread it appears not.
    So the question is if I get a WAP54G, will it serve both purposes (i.e., will it epand the range like the WRE54G does, as well as allow him to connect the PS2 to the web through the wireless network)?

  • Mesh Ethernet Bridging with VLAN Tagging Issue

    Hi all.
    I'm a little stuck with a 4400 7.0.220.0 + RAP 1550 + MAP 1260 Ethernet bridging issue. I'm using the VLAN tagging functionality and I'm finding that periodically a VLAN that I've tagged on the MAP will deregister from the backhaul and stop passing traffic. If I go into the Mesh tab on the MAP, select the wired interface, remove the VLAN from the list of tagged VLAN IDs and then add it right back to the list, its starts passing traffic again.
    Has anyone else seen this? I can't find any relevant bugs.
    Justin

    Hi Saravanan,
    It is one RAP and three MAPs. After a TAC call and 30 hours of monitoring, my VLANs have remained registered. I think the issue was mismatched VLANs to bridge groups an it looks like the mesh bridge may be stable for now. Here is what I was seeing on the RAP and MAPs when the VLANs were deregistering unexpectedly. Notice how VLANs 2 and 10 are mapped to opposite bridge groups on the RAP and MAP:
    After I removed all the VLAN IDs from the Trunk configuration on the MAPs (through each AP's Mesh tab -- Ethernet Bridging config) and then rebuilt the VLAN IDs, I ran the same commands and now see this:
    My very unscientific theory here is that the mismatching was causing consistency checks to fail, so the RAP was just tearing down the registrations after getting bogus or non- responses from the MAPs during the periodic VLAN registration maintenance checks (debug mesh ethernet registration).
    If I have continued issues, I'll post back with updates.
    Thanks for the response!

  • Help -Can't print to my HP LaserJet via Ethernet Bridge

    I have a new MacBook Pro with OS X 10.4.5. I'm trying to print with my old HP Laserjet 4MP Postcript printer. The printer is an old serial port printer connected to an Asante Ethernet Bridge with an Ethernet cord that plugs into my computer. This has worked fine for years on my G4 with OS 10.3. But, as soon as I try to use the same connection with the same settings on my new MBP, I get nothing.
    Printer Setup finds the drivers for this printer no problem. Connected via AppleTalk. However, when I send something to print it never prints. The printer window just keep saying "Waiting for Job to Complete..."
    Any ideas why I can't print. I've repaired permissions and I search other forums, but other people seem to be able to print like this???
    Or, are there any alternative drivers that I could use to access this printer?
    Thanks!
    Laura

    I don't have an answer but can suggest a couple of things. I use an old HP Laserjet 2100 with built-in ethnernet. I don't use Appletalk to print but IP printing. Your bridge must have a TCP/IP address. You might be able to use IP printing to send directly to that. Another idea is maybe you need to enable Appletalk on the MBP. By default it's disabled you can turn it on in the networking panel. You might already have that so I'm not sure if that would help. One last thing might if you have the firewall on in the sharing preferences that could be blocking it also.

  • Ethernet Bridge for Powerbook Titanium G4 instead of Airport

    I have a macintosh titanium G4 powerbook that can only take an airport card, not airport extreme. I decided instead that I should buy a ethernet bridge. Can I buy a bridge that will access the internet at 54 kbps and then use an ethernet wire to my laptop? If so, will this give me 802.11g speed? Can anyone recomend such a bridge (e.g. linksys)? Thanks

    Since you have a portable laptop (PowerBook), I would think a compatible 802.11g PCMCIA card would be the best solution.
    Let's take a step back...
    802.11b is probably faster than your internet connection. Therefore changing to 802.11g won't give you faster internet access.
    802.11g will only increase the speed of large file transfers between computers on your network.
