Guide to get internet via LAN cable With WRE54G

Hello Guys!
Sorry for my very bad English!
I found a way to get internet through the LAN cable on the WRE54G.
First of all I was thinking; isn't t very weird that I can connect to my standard gateway using the LAN connection of the WRE but not being able to connect to google?.. The answer is quite simple; If i Looked at my LAN settings on my PC there was no DNS server configured.
I opened the standard gateway (192.168.2.1) and looked for the IP of the DNS server.
I opened the config panel of my LAN connection and set my IP to 192.168.2.40, Subnetmask 255.255.255.0, standard gateway 192.168.2.1 and DNS server; the adress that I found on the page of the standard gateway (you can find it as well as you connect to your router directly in the details tab of your connection)...
You really need to set the IP and DNS server manually because DHCP doesn't work quite well on the WRE...
Now you can use the WRE as a WLAN to LAN receiver.
I also found a way to connect the WRE to a second router.
Might be handy if you want to give a wired LAN party on a second router but you are not able to make a wired link between the first and the second router and you really want to add an internet connection to it, just ask!

I have a setup that receives the WiFi signal from a distant router, and I wish to set up another "G" router at this end.  Can you tell me how to connect the WR54G to a WRT54G router?

  • Hi, I'm thinking of buying the Airport Express or Extreme for my school dormitory, would i need to plug them into the already existing school internet via LAN cable or do the products just work by themselves?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    AirPort stations aren't modems, so they have to be connected to the modem you are already using. The AirPort Extreme and Express have a WAN port, where you have to plug an Ethernet cable that has to be connected to the modem.
    After doing this, you can set up the AirPort station by using AirPort Utility. If you have Windows, download AirPort Utility from the Apple website > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1547

  • Can I use AirPlay from my PC to my AppleTV when connected to an AirPort via LAN cable?

    Well as stated above I'm wondering if I can use AirPlay from my PC to my AppleTV when my PC is connected via LAN cable to an AirPort.
    I'm asking because usually your PC has to be on the same Wifi as your other Apple device, so AirPlay can function, and id love the ability to Stream via AirPlay but still be connected to the internet via LAN cable.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    AirPlay is not restricted to wireless only. It can also work over Ethernet. Basically as long as there is a connection (on the same subnet) between the iTunes host and the AirPlay "speaker" streaming should take place without any issues.
    FWIW, My Win8 PC is connected to a Time Capsule via Ethernet. In turn my Apple TV is connected to the TC's wireless network. I have no trouble streaming from the PC to the Apple TV in this configuration.

  • Macbook Pro suddenly will not connect to the internet via ethernet cable.

    I know this is a long shot... but I figured I would give it a try.
    My macbook pro suddenly does not connect to the internet via ethernet cable. Please bear with me, as I am not very tech-savvy - I will try my best to describe the symptoms!
    I connect to the internet via ethernet (we don't have wifi). It was working before I went to work, and when I came home I suddenly couldn't get anything to work (I know everyone says this, but I truly didn't mess with anything). Internet browsers just think for awhile and then turn up the 'You are not connected to the internet' error.
    I went into my network preferences and curiously, the 'Ethernet' shows a green dot and says 'connected'. However it says 'Authentication server is not responding' underneath the last part that says '802.1X: WPA: eduroam' (I think that is my user profile).
    When I go into my 'security' settings I can see that my firewall is off, so that shouldn't be causing any problems.
    I've tried restarting the router and computer itself many times. Diagnostics just gets to a certain point and reports back 'Network Diagnostics cannot fix the current networking problems.' I've also tried switching to a different ethernet cable, and I tried both cables out on a PC laptop and it connected without issue.  Additionally, I brought my macbook along to a friend's house and it connected to his wifi just fine, so the problem appears to just be with ethernet connections.
    I know it's hard to troubleshoot this kind of thing without being there and having a look at the computer yourself, but any tips wouild be greatly appreciated.

    As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
    I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
    I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.

  • Connecting Internet Via data cable

    How to connect internet through Apple data cable.. ?? without WIFI

    You can't connect to the internet via a cable connected to your iPad, it won't be recognised. You can either connect to a wifi network directly on your iPad via Settings > WiFi, or do you only have a wired conncetion to your computer and not a wifi network ? If you do then you might be able to share the connection from your PC to your iPad e.g. windows ICS, or, depending the type of wired connection, you might be able to plug your cable into an AirPort Express and use that to create a wifi network

  • I have an HP LaserJet 8150N that I am trying to get connected via ethernet cable directly to my iMac. I always had this printer connected via a network so I don't know if I am able to connect directly with a cable since it is a network printer.

    I have an HP LaserJet 8150N that I use for my work and I have had this printer for ever and it is one heck of a work horse! I am trying to get it connected via ethernet cable directly to my iMac. I always had this printer connected via a network so I don't know if I am able to connect directly with a cable since it is a network printer. I have tried to reconfigure the printer using the JetDirect menu giving it a new IP address but still no luck. If anyone could help me through this issue I would appreciate it.

    Second, seeing "connecting" and connection failed is normal. You must click on "Connect As" in the Finder window and then enter the username and password for the admin account on the other computer. That should fix things.
    Thanks for responding.
    When does clicking on "Connect As" happen in the process above?
    After step six? Seven?
    After the connection has failed?
    Is this the FInder window that shows the icon of the computer you want to copy the file from?
    You should see "Connect As" in the Finder near the top right of the window as shown below:

  • LAN cable with MBP

    Hi every one, i have an EDIMAX wireless router and modem at home of a speed of 1.5 mbps ADSL at home, works ok with my MBP after some issues (i think every one knows what i'm talking about), after the last update it started to give me a hard time but after updating the last batch of APEX and AP it's ok now, my question is, how to secure my router by means of even if some one hooked there PCs to my router using LAN cables can't get access ? i'm using EDIMAX (AR-7064g+A). thanks in advance.

    The question of keeping the kids safe is not so much one of the network settings as the use of Parental Controls. This is another feature that can be accessed via the System Preferences panel. It needs a separate user account for your little ones (that will keep them away from your files as well) and then can be fine-tuned. Time-Limits in that panel seems to provide exactly what you want while Content has the access to the internet restrictions. Mind you, if they are bright (see below), they may well find a way past this eventually, so it is worth checking the logs from time to time.
    I guess from looking at your reply to Craig Brady, it is your kids who may be plugging in another computer (or accessing via your computer) using the LAN cables. As Craig says, there is not much that can be done with the setup you have now. Perhaps some more information about machine availability might be useful.

  • Satellite Pro P100 - Can't connect to Internet via LAN

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro P100. Model No SPSA4A-005002
    I used my recovery disk and wiped my computer, because of a virus and now I cant connect to the internet via cable but my wireless internet works perfectly.
    Its completely dead there are no lights at the back of the laptop from where I plug the cable in.

    Hi
    Is your LAN card recognized properly in device manager?
    In your case I would try updating the LAN driver. You can get the latest version here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
    Furthermore you check the BIOS version. The latest version should be installed and load the default settings there.
    In worst case its a hardware problem and you have to exchange the whole mainboard :(

  • Can't Connect to Internet via Ethernet Cable.

    Hi
    I've looked around but haven't found anyone with exactly this problem. I can't get my MacBook Pro to connect to the internet via ethernet at my dorm. I am on the same connection with the same cable on a different computer right now, so I know that is not the problem. When I plug the cable in to my MacBook Pro it tells me that the cable IS connected, but when I try to go on a site on either Safari or Firefox, it takes a couple minutes trying and then tells me that I don't have a connection. I guess the problem lies somewhere between the connection and the browser. I am using DHCP (I don't know what that means but that's the default and other posts have said to make sure that that's what one is using) and the "connect using PPPoE" box is not checked. My ip starts out 192 etc. so I assume it isn't self-assigned. I WOULD LOVE ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER.
    I just got back to school today and this is already making this semester pretty awful.

    I am having the same issue. Everything was working hunky-dory but then just up and stopped. The Airport works ok, but considering I am leeching off someone else's across the hall, that is not the most reliable solution.
    In my Network Diagnostics, the Ethernet connection is given a green light, but the it seems unable to find the internet at all.
    I have reset the router several times, restarted my computer several times, and various combinations of the two, as well as changing ports and cables etc...
    any suggestions?

  • I just changed ISP and now I cannot get internet via my Time Machine

    I just switched from DSL to cable internet. Now I cannot access my existing wifi network, and am having connectivity issues with the internet via wifi AND ethernet when I use my Time Machine as my router. By bypassing the router, the internet works fine. My IP address starts with 169 when I have the modem and Time Machine paired together, so there's some sort of miscommunication, I'm sure. I want my wireless network back! FRUSTRATING!!

    Open time machine and shut it off.
    Chances are you will still be receiving the emails, meaning that it is a spam type of malware that may have changed your mail settings and only appears to be from the time machine.
    Open your mail program preferences and set to delete from server after being read, if that is possible with your mail program.
    Sometimes it is not best to forward all the seemingly harmless and funny emails that come your way.
    After all, that is what the kids writing viruses are counting on.
    Perhaps a free antivirus program such as Sophos may help you out.

  • Plug-in order for connecting to internet via AP Extreme with cable modem?

    Help!
    My internet's been a bit slow the past few days. I was scared to do anything because when I first got my Airport Extreme, it took me several days to figure out how to get connected, and it was highly frustrating. I remember that there was always a blinking orange light and some issue the utility couldn't identify, and the ultimate fix had something to do with unplugging and replugging my cable modem, but I'm not sure at what step in the process I did this.
    Now, I tried unplugging and replugging the modem and though my base station was showing up in the list of networks under the Airport icon at the top of the screen, it kept saying there was an error when I tried to connect. Airport Utility wasn't even finding any base stations at all, so I tried several orders of unplug/replug to no avail. Each time, the green light was coming on but my computer couldn't find the base station and wouldn't connect to the network. I then tried the reset button (5 seconds). When I reset, the utility could find the base station, but I'm back to blinking amber and when I try to configure the base station, it says "the wireless network could not be found." Does anyone here know the magic order of the plugs? I'm using an Ethernet cable to connect from modem to base station and running Tiger on a Powerbook G4. Any help would really be appreciated!!

    Is this a cable modem with a usb port? If so you are correct. It doesn't connect easily. You're better off with a modem that has an ethernet port. Now if you are referring to a Sprint Novatel U720 USB modem I can tell you it works.

  • If my phone is lost with 'Find my iPhone' activated, will it notify me if they connect the phone to the internet (via usb cable to charge/try to use itunes/etc) in a place where 3G/signal is unavailable?

    Dropped my phone and returned to the area 10 minutes later and it is gone.
    Problem is that there is a lot of dead area around here. I was wondering if they connected the phone to a laptop or PC connected to the internet with the intent to charge it or get into itunes(in an area with dead signal), will find my iphone notify me?
    Thank you in  advance...stressing very much about my phone. It is my work phone.

    Only way to be able to locate your iphone is if it is turned on. Just a note.

  • I can access internet via boot camp with windows 7, but not when I use the Mac w/Mt Lion side. Thanks for any tips!

    I'm using a 2012 Intel-based iMac with Mt. Lion and Windows 7 with Boot Camp. I used to be able to access the internet on both sides. Now, my only internet access is through Boot Camp. At one point, access was unable on both sides but IE in Windows 7 automatically diagnosed the problem, changed some settings (which I don't know) and I could access the internet on both sides . . . for a while. Now, I can only get online in Boot Camp. Since IE detects no problems it doesn't apply the fix as it did before. Does anybody know what's going on?
    I should mention that I installed Boot Camp because there is no Mac version of the software (VantagePoint)  I need to use (duh).  I wanted to be able to use the software w/o rebooting all the time so I installed Fusion. Of course, I didn't ask the VantagePoint techs if this would solve my issue. It didn't - VantagePoint won't work with Fusion, but it will with Parallels. So I installed Parallels and imported Boot Camp. Apparantly, it was not set up properly, I'm getting all kinds of errors reported in Console (e.g. "Found cross-bounds GPT partition. GPT disk detected," mdworker cannot talk to sandbox, etc.).  The VantagePoint techs say the first step in a VM retry is to regain internet access to the Mac.
    Anybody who can help will become my new best friend. Thanking you.

    Are you using a MacBook Pro? Is everything installed on the same drive?
    I would love to know how that install was performed. When I install Windows under boot camp, my MacBook Pro drive ends up with 4 partitions: Mac, Mac Recovery, Windows, and a small partition that I believe is used by boot camp.
    Installing BitLocker on Windows requires the creation of a new small partition that Windows will boot off. The small partition is unencrypted, while the primary Windows partition will get encrypted. The following post discusses the maximum partition issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22753791#22753791
    Has anyone installed Windows through boot camp on it's own drive, and if so, can BitLocker be installed on that without reaching any partition limit? I'm assuming that's possible, but would like to know before I spend hundreds on new hardware.
