Help connecting emac to Router via Belkin Wireless Bridge FSD7330

Dear All,
I've been given an old emac without an Airport card and would like to connect it to my Netgear WGR614v9 wireless router which I run two XP laptops through.
I've been told that I need a wireless bridge so have bought the Belkin FSD7330. Unfortunately there appears to be no mac software or drivers with either installation cd, despite the manufacturers saying they'll work with macs and I'm out of ideas...
The emac connects fine to the internet when hardwired to the router but won't seem to pick up the router or bridge wirelessly... Can anyone give me an idiots guide on how to get started please?
Any help gratefully received! Many thanks

Hello,
As Allan already indicated, no special software is needed for a (configured) wireless Ethernet bridge; you can use it with a Mac or a PC.
There are different versions of the F5D7330 (one or two antennas; colour). Various variants are mentioned at Belkin's UK support centre web site.
Have a look at this web page regarding firmware. For example, the 1.00.09 version will update applicable units sold with only WEP security to WPA (the use of which is a good idea). You will need a PC to carry out firmware updates.
Generally speaking, do not run any (PC) setup wizard software from a supplied CD. Instead, make use of the web-based interface. You should be able to run a browser on a Mac or a PC, but the pages may not look the same everywhere (if there is a problem with one browser, try another).
If necessary, a manual can be downloaded from the support centre. Use the instructions for setting up the F5D7330 wireless Ethernet bridge in an "infrastructure" mode. The security configuration page displayed after a firmware update (to WPA) may differ a bit from the information in the manual. WPA is normally easier to set up than WEP.

G4 (800MHz) connects to airport network via N300 wireless modem but won't bring up a browser page (Safari or Firefox)

G4 (800MHz) connects to airport network via N300 wireless modem but won't bring up a browser page (Safari or Firefox) - so the connection is there, everything says its a goer - I get a clear black signal icon in the menu bar on top, and a clear signal strength in the Internet connect dialogue box - - but when I run either of the browsers, it just says 'not connected to internet' - even for the 'software update'.

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...

Help Needed i can't connect to the router via VPN

I can not connect to my server via the VPN client i have attached the config. I also havve a bif problem i can't use the webb gui any more and idon't know why.
Thanks i advance

You would need to change the NAT from standard ACL to extended ACL as follows:
access-list 150 deny ip 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 150 permit ip 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any
ip nat inside source list 150 interface ATM0.1 overload
no ip nat inside source list 1 interface ATM0.1 overload

Printing via Belkin Wireless Print Server

I am trying to setup my my mac so that it will print via my belkin wireless print server. I have been able to do this for my windows pc's but not with my mac.
Other threads on this forum have been able to get it working with other printers but I can't seem to make it work.
I'm using a HP Deskjet 6540 on a 802.11g network. The printer is connected to a Belkin Wireless Print Server (F1UP0001). I print when connected via USB but not via wireless. I've installed the HP drivers and the GIMP drivers but that hasnt worked. When I go to install the printer I choose IP Printer and give the ip address of the print server.
Any help would be much appreciated, if you need more infomation just ask.
Thank You,
mholmau

Your printer is a non-postscript printer and requires a CUPS driver in order to use the network printing protocols which are part of the CUPS system in OS X. Except for Brother, no manufacturer of non-postscript printers is providing CUPS drivers. The printer model doesn't show up because the OS X driver only works for USB. Apple tried to get around this by including open source Gimp-Print (CUPS) drivers with OS X. But very few HPs are supported. You should try HP Deskjet 900 Series, Gimp-Print driver to see if it "might" work.
For PPC Macs, there is another open source driver set that supports most HPs, including yours:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
But, these aren't Universal binaries, so they don't work on Intel Macs. The source code is available, and I think it will readily compile on your Mac, but I don't have an Intel Mac to try that on.
Next issue - print server setup. We don't have auto-setup software, so we have to read the manual closely and decide which protocol to use. If it's IPP (=internet printing protocol, not IP printing) or LPR/LPD, you need to find the print server's queue name (sometimes called port name), and enter that in Add printer dialog near IP address.
There are other ways to do network printing. The Airport Express print server from Apple allows you to use the USB driver because it uses Airport-Bonjour software to redirect USB output, instead of using standard protocols.
Hope this helps.

Help, Connected To The Router, But Still Not Connecting To Internet

We bought a router and a wireless adapter a few years ago, I moved out and then moved back. I tried to connect to the network we setup in the first place, but it didn't work and I was told that I had to reset the router, so I did, and I setup a new network, and the computer with the router is working fine, but the computer with the adapter, even after I ran the setup disk on it again, all it does is connect to the router, but I'm still not getting the internet. If anyone has any ideas on how I can remedy this problem I would really appreciate it if you would share it with me. Thank you.
Adapter Model # - WUSB54GC
Router Model # - WRT54G2

Try and download the driver for the adapter again. It can be found here.
Also for the router, that can be found here.

Power Mac G5 Won't Connect to Linsys Router via PC

Greetings, I'm running a Windows XP Professional machine that is hard wired to a cable modem and connected to a Linksys Router (the WRT54G). I have a Power Mac G5 in the basement(running Panther) that recognizes the router but won't allow me to connect to the network, claiming I'm entering an invalid password. My original problem started without having the external airport antenna, but I received that today and still, no signal. The PC also recognizes an internal IP address beginning with 192... and the Mac recognizes one beginning with 169....anyone have any suggestions? I'm pulling my hair out of my head. Thanks.

Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.7)

sorry..you do have the configuration right. i think i'm having problems with both. i've been on the phone with Mac, Linksys and Microsoft for the last two weeks and no one can seem to figure out the problem. I took my G5 to an Apple Store, had the card tested and it worked. I've also connected the internet directly into the Mac and through the Router via Ehternet and that works.
I set the PC up with the Linksys software and created a Network---though, I can't seem to locate it on the PC. My Mac recognizes the Networks there when I click on the Airport Icon in the upper right hand corner, but tells me my password is invalid-same if I use Network Setup Assistant. If I Create a New Network through Airport and choose the Router's Channel, I get an Airport Window that shows full signal strength, but there are no lines in my Airport Icon in the upper right hand corner of my desktop, but rather a small box that looks like a mini TV inside the icon. Bizarre.
That is my dilemma in a nutshell. And as I said earlier, both machines still have Internal IP addresses. If I try and configure on the Mac Automatically, I get zilch. And the maddening thing is that I was actually able to get online about two weeks ago when this nightmare started..I didn't get past my Home Page, but I got on. Hope this clears it up a bit. Thanks.

Need help setting up Powerbook G4 to Belkin Wireless G Router 802.11g

Cannot get the laptop to go online, says "the specified server could not be found. Called my internet provider, Belkin and no one can get it online. Can anyone give me the steps to setting up the laptop maybe the settings are not right? I bought an airport card thru ebay and did install the card in the laptop. My signal level is full so looks like the card is working. It does say that the base station id is not available not sure if this would be the problem? Again any suggestions would be helpful, I have had a friend here and look at it also and he could not get it to work. I am using this also with my PC but that is hook directly into the router. Just want to get the laptop so I can surf the web. Thanks!
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.1.x)

When I open the internet connect there is an box for airport to turn it on and off and in the box under signal level there is a blue bar there is no black or grey bars. And I am not sure abt the security on the router how can I find that out. Sorry if I act stupid with this but I am learning as I go. Thanks!!

Trying to connect to Airport Basestati PC via Belkin Wireless G USB adaptor

When it comes to the authentication point it usually messes up, what type does the airport base station use and what is the encription etc?
Anyone have problems with this?

When it comes to the authentication point it usually
messes up, what type does the airport base station
use and what is the encription etc?
If the base station is using WEP then this is probably the issue.
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

Connecting to Airport Express via Linksys Wireless-G adapter

I am trying to use a linksys compact adapter (WUSB600N) to connect a Windows XP PC to my Airport Express- The linksys monitor CAN detect the Airport Express, but "cannot associate with the access point" for a few seconds, then "can associate... but cannot find the Internet"
I haven't had any problems connecting my MBP and a Vista notebook to my AX, just this PC using this adapter.
Can anyone help me?

To Connect your Computer to the Wireless Network you need to change some settings on your Router...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbors network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Sharing Internet connection/Using a macbook as a wireless bridge/router?

I was wondering if it is possible to connect a computer, or more specifically an Xbox 360 or PS2, into the MacBook's Ethernet port. Then somehow use the MacBook's AirPort to connect to my wireless router. Thus, this would make my MacBook some sort of bridge to my wireless router, so I could use my gaming systems to the internet.
I would like my set-up to be the following
PS2/XBox360 = Macbook >>> wireless >>> Router = Modem
I've explored the system preferences of Mac OSX, and noticed that in "Sharing," under the Internet Tab, there seems to be some way to share your connection. I've selected the options:
"Share your connection from: AirPort"
"To computers using: Built-in Ethernet"
My settings could be off, but it does not seem to work, although the description makes it seem entirely possible. If it does, this would save me money from having to try and buy another wireless router for my room, as we have no cable/Ethernet lines going to my second floor.
Any help on trying to figure this out, or reassure me if it does or doesn't work would be great. Thanks a lot!

Slow connection with WRT160N router through wired & wireless

When I connected directly to my cable modem, I got ~10Mbs. But when I connected through my new WRT160N router with either wired or wireless, I got only half the speed, which is 4-5Mbs. Anyone know why or any idea how to change the setting to make the connection faster. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Login to the web administration interface and under the security tab disable SPI (stateful packet inspection). This feature is designed to detect wan interface attacks (ping of death) and block the sender. It kills your throughput for your internet connection. Try xferring a file across your lan (wireless to wired pc) and check your N speeds. The xfer speed should be 100mbps since the wired pc will most likely be limited to 100mbps by your nic. If lan speed is slower than 100mbps (assuming you have and are using N standard) then you may have a bad router. Definitely disable SPI though and that should fix your slow wan speed.
