Hook up Linksys Router to ValetPlus?

I just purchased a TV with internet capabilities so I'd like to hook it up to my home network but it's way too far away for the direct connection they would like (no wireless adapter).  My home network is current up and running using the Valet Plus M20.
I have two old Linksys routers, the WRT54G2 and the WRT600N, can I wirelessly hook up one of these routers to my ValetPlus?  If so, how do I go about doing it?
Thanks!

It is not possible to use Linksys router as a wireless bridge.
Two Linksys routers can not communicate with each other when wireless.
You can use wireless bridge WET610N.

  • HELP PLEASE !!! Can't get Linksys router to work.

    Okay, I am a new owner of an Alu-imac 2.4 ghz !!!!!!
    Installed Leopard last night and wanted to get my internet set up and ……. IT DIDN'T WORK !!!!!!!!
    The Diagnostic thing wouldn't recognize my internet.
    (Info for you):
    1) I have an Linksys wireless router that is right behind the computer. I have to have a router for my 360 and my PS3 across the room. So I had the cable internet modem hooked to the wireless router and then to the computer. (just like it was hooked up to my PC)
    2) I tried everything I could think of to get it to work. The diagnostic show that the Ethernet had a green light, but it would not let me online at all.
    3) So then I tried unplugging the modem and the router and still nothing. (It gets stuck on the page where it asks "do you use a cable modem, if so please restart it and then hit continue") And still nothing.
    4) So then I tried to just run the internet straight from the cable modem to the imac, and this didn't work either….. Then for some reason like a 1/2 later the network settings brought up the IP and everything and I had internet.
    5) *But I need my Linksys router to be used !!!!* Is there any advice any of you can give me !!! I can call Linksys if I need to when I get off work, but I thought maybe some of you could help me first. *I did have to call Linksys before I could get the router to work on my old PC as well*, so maybe it's something with them ????
    HELP PLEASE !!!! I want to love my Imac so much.

    fonz500, are you still having this issue or is this now a dead thread?
    Let us know if your still need help.

  • How do i add a Linksys Router to my MacBook?

    I have a relatively new MacBook, purchased last year....
    Do i hook up the Router and, then, switch to Airport to set up my router password?

    I have a linksys router hooked straight into the AE so I can use it for its VOIP ports. It works no problems, but you might need to plug your computer into the linksys router when you're trying to access the camera.

  • WRT54G behind another Linksys router

    the WRT 54 is donated and we are trying to expand to cover more computers from our original 8 pport Linksys rouoter and add wireless. Plugged the WRT internet into a port from the original router and it shows the IP address as 192.168.1.1xx for each of the additional computers we hook up with ethernet and the wireless IP is also of that sequence for IP addressing. But we cannot get to the Internet. The WRT 54 as a stand alone router works just fine, ethernet and wireless Internet connections. Is there something we need to do to set up the WRT to work behind the other Linksys router.

  • Airport Extreme, Linksys Router WRT54G: Internet is Impossibly Slow

    I have a problem regarding wireless internet activity on my Powerbook G4. In my house, I have a Linksys Router (WRT54G) that has worked fine for other laptops (including an iBook running Airport Extreme, a Powerbook G4 running Airport, and an iMac running Airport) for many years. When I got a refurbished Powerbook G4 1.67 GHz with Airport Extreme, I found that while Airport could be configured to recognize the wireless network (with a WEP 40/128-bit encrypted key), it barely works on the computer. The signal strength is strong (the laptop is hooked up right above the Linksys router), but the Internet barely works at all. Surfing to webpages takes 10-20-30 sec to work, and often the connection seems to drop off all together. Something is clearly wrong because despite the fact that this is my fastest computer with the fastest wireless capability, it runs at a slower pace than any computer I have ever used on the web.
    I was wondering if anyone has had similar problems with getting Wireless Extreme on Powerbook G4s to work with this particular (and older) model of Linksys wireless browser (WRT54G). Some Internet sleuthing led me to believe that perhaps the router firmware needs to be updated or something like that, but I haven't really found any definitive answers. If there is anything wrong on the laptop-OS-side, I have no idea. I would appreciate any pointers that you can provide!
    Thank you to all,

    Hi all,
    Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, my problems persist.
    I was able to reset my router and to configure it again on the web-based router configuration.
    As per your suggestion, I tried switching the Wireless Network Mode to "G-only." Not only did this kick off my older computers on the network (an old iMac and an older Powerbook G4, both with normal airport), but it did not fix the speed problems on the new Powerbook G4/with Airport Extreme. I am back on the mixed setting now in order to get most of the computers on the network back to their old working states...
    I also tried disabling my WEP encrypted key but found that this did not speed anything up at all.
    I have upgraded my firmware from its previous version, v 1.41.2 (very old!), to the latest from the Linksys website: v 4.30.5. This has not helped at all either.
    Is it possible that there is any setting on the Powerbook/Airport Extreme itself that is causing these problems?
    Thank you all again for your help,

  • Can't establish a network with Wireless-G Linksys router and Macs

    I have a Wireless-G Linksys router and two Macs. My DSL cable is connected to the modem, the modem to the router w/Ethernet cable, and the router to a desktop Mac out of port 1. With this setup, I can usually -- not always -- connect to my wireless network with my PowerBook, but then the desktop Mac cannot connect to the internet. Either Mac connects to the internet when hooked up directly to the DSL modem. I have reset the modem. I have connected to the router's console and everything seems to be in order.The PowerBook can connect to the internet through the wireless router as described above, so there don't seem to be any Mac/PC incompatibility issues at work.My local gurus and my ISP are stumped. Any suggestions?

  • Slow Internet Speed on Linksys router

    I have an ibook that I use for work and when I am at work the inter speed is just fine (we're on an Airport). When I take it home and try to get on the net it is very slow. The crazy thing is, we have an Imac at home and connect via wreless to it and have no problems what so ever. Have any suggestions?

    Mass market routers like Linksys are not very efficient with high speed broadband. I really don't think there's much you can do to improve the Linksys performance.
    Just to be sure its the router you might want to check your cable modem signal strength; and the connectors from the street to your cable modem. Sometimes a bad splitter can cause very bad signal strength. You might want to test your speed by hooking up your iBook directly to the cable modem without a router. Run a speed test from somewhere like http://speakeasy.net. Be sure to pick a test location close to your home. If you get really fast speeds without the router than with the router then you know its the Linksys.
    I had similar problems with Linksys. I upgraded it with the dd-wrt firmware. This improved reliability but not performance. You might want to buy a ZyXEL router which is very fast and very efficient. Also, its much more reliable than your Linksys router.

  • Linksys router interupts service often

    I have my PC and G5 hooked up by hard wire to my linksys router. My Powerbook is wireless. My linksys router oftern interupts the internet service. Sometimes everday. I know its the router because I have unplugged my internet line from the router and plugged it into the modem and the internet works.
    My only solution at this point is to shut down my G5, unplug the modem and router. Once the G5 is shut down, I plug the modem back in, then the router. Once those are going, I turn my G5 on and the internet is back up....at least for a day.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this interruption? The only other observation I have noticed is that most of the time, the interruption happens after either my G5 or powerbook were asleep, then I hoped onto the internet.
    Thanks.

    Wireless connections have been lots of trouble for Airport. Firmware updates have improved reception. And some improvements with OS updates.
    Newer router? latest firmware?
    Loss of connection on wake from sleep was noted in MacFixit article.
    Are you using 10.4.5 or something more current?

  • Linksys Router, Can't Access Internet

    I'm trying to hook up a Linksys router to my mom's iMac so I can get wireless on my Powerbook. I followed the instructions, and everything seemed to be ok - all the proper lights are green, the network pref says it is connected to the internet, my powerbook is picking up the signal - but I can't actually load anything on the net (except the linksys registration module I get when typing in the router's IP). I tried linksys tech support, but they only stated the obvious and punctuated every other sentence with the fact that they only have limited support for Macs.
    It's especially frustrating since I have to disconnect everything to actually get on the internet to find help! Argh. Any suggestions?

    The router is pretty smart, and will sync up with the modem without difficulty.
    Since you have internet access, go to www.linksys.com. Click on support, techincal support, and easy answers. Click search by answer id. Here are two you want to look at:
    #759 Setting up wireless security
    #187 Setting up WPA on WRT54G
    If you also search by phrase on 'setting up' and the name of your service provider, ie, might be Verizon for DSL or Comcast for cable. That will bring up a instructions for your service provider.
    As Sig stated, the WRT54G is basically plug and play. However, you do need to enable security. 3 recommendations:
    1) Disable SSID broadcast. You'll tell your PB the SSID, but others don't need to know it.
    2) Protect your wireless information by using WPA Personal security, as WEP can be broken in 15 minutes. Use a long pass phrase which includes special characters like any of those above the numbers on the keyboard. Longer and complex is more secure. I had difficulty with WPA2 personal, as my PB would not connect coming out of sleep, however WPA Personal works fine.
    3) Prevent others from sharing your internet connection by enabling mac filtering (use your systems airport id or in the system profiler go to network and use the mac address). That way, you only allow your machine, or others by choice, to use your connection.
    That should get your router securely setup. Then on your PB connect by entering the network name (the router SSID), the type of security (WPA Personal), and your pass phrase.

  • Please help... Linksys router and Imac help

    I just switched to Mac, but I might be returning the Imac and getting a Dell or something because it's getting a little ridiculous.
    My IP address on my Linksys router is not being recognized by the airport in my new Imac. It took FOREVER for me to get this to work and now it has crapped out 2 times in the last 4 days. I am about to take this new Mac back to the store and go back to a Dell.
    Here is a basic description of what is happening:
    When I do a diagnostic test I click on Airport and it is saying that the airport signal is fine (green dots), but it doesn't find the IP address. I select my network name that the Airport is picking up and still nothing. I can even get online by selecting a different wi-fi signal from someone that lives close to me too. It's obviously something with my Linksys router that does not work well with my Mac.
    Also, even when my Mac doesn't get online, my Ps3 and 360 both still do so I know it is the computer/router that is the problem.
    I try unplugging the router, modem, restarting...etc. but it just seems so wierd that it goes off like that.... It's also very annoying, because then I have to hear from my wife about that we spent $1500 on a computer that won't get online some of the time, when I can still get online on my PS3 and 360.
    By the way, when I am not connected to the internet Safari will NOT let me put in the 192.168.1.1 in the address bar to get to my router settings. But I did check them from my PS3 and the "clone my MAC" thing is still enabled.
    Apple's software update tells me there's no new software available for my machine, which leaves me with no idea what's causing this or how to fix it.
    Any advice, solutions, or tips are greatly appreciated.
    Can anyone please help me??? If this is going to be a continuous problem, I am taking the computer back and getting a new Dell or something since we mostly use the computer for the internet functions.
    Anybody please help???

    Let's double-check your iMac's AirPort settings ...
    System Preferences > Network > AirPort
    o Location: Automatic
    o In the left column, verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "+" to create one. (Note: If you are unable to create an AirPort configuration, the AirPort card in your computer either doesn't exist or it is not recognized.)
    o Verify that AirPort is "On." Click "Turn AirPort On" button if not.
    o Ask to join new networks: (enabled)
    o Show AirPort status in menu bar: (enabled)
    Systems Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced

    If you connect your iMac directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN ports on your Linksys router, can it access the Internet now?

  • ASA 5505 Connected To Linksys Router

    Hello, I have a cable modem internet connection and my cable modem is connected to an ASA 5505.  The inside interface of the ASA has an IP address of 192.168.2.2 and is connected to a Linksys router's internet port which has an IP address of 192.168.2.1.  The Linksys router then has a local area network of 192.168.1.0 and all my clients are on that network.  Everything is working fine except in my ASA logs all the traffic shows up as the router's external address which is 192.168.2.1.  I would like to see the 192.168.1.x address of the clients in the ASA firewall.  I've tried making some changes to the Linksys router but that hasn't resolved it.  Is there any changes I can make on the ASA to get this to work?   Below is some of the config:

    The Linksys doing NAT is the reason why the ASA sees all the traffic as having source address as 192.168.2.1. The only way for the ASA to see the original 192.168.1.x address is to change the Linksys to not do NAT.
    One thing that I notice is that there is not a route statement in what you posted for the 192.168.1.0 network. It is not clear whether the route does exist and you did not post it or whether the route does not exist. But if it does not exist it would certainly be a reason why you lose Internet connectivity when you change the Linksys to not perform NAT. (the ASA would have no knowledge of how to forward to the network and would drop all the traffic). Try adding the route to the ASA and changing the Linksys to not perform NAT and let us know if it works.

  • Intel MacBook Connecting to Linksys Router

    Hey Discussions,
    I'm getting ready to purchase a MacBook. Currently, my setup is a G4 Mac mini that is wirelessly connected to a Belkin repeater (which is repeating the signal of a Linksys router). I've heard rumblings that Linksys routers are being funny with the new Intel processors. Now, since I do have that repeater and since the repeater creates a new wireless network in addition to the weaker Linksys one in my present location, would I have any problems getting the MacBook to connect to either of the wireless networks? This sounds like a problem that will have to be solved by experience.
    Thanks!
    -Mateo

    Hmmm...I hope it will be simple. But I don't know if the fact that I have that repeater creating an entirely new network will be to my advantage or disadvantage. I guess we'll find that out on Friday!

  • Help! Have a Linksys Router WRVS4400N, Ipad and Desktop doesn't get internet at same time. Just one of the other. How do I internet on both? Thx!

    Good morning
    Hi Kathy,  my name is Johnnatan and I am part of the Small business Support community.
    If you have an old firmware it would be a good idea to go out to Cisco.com and see if there is any firmware updates. I have looked on the site for you and I see the latest firmware is:2.0.2.1
    http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=282414016&softwareid=282487380&release=2.0.1.3&rellifecycle=&relind=AVAILABLE&reltype=all
    You can also try to reset your device to its factory settings, to reset your router please take a object that has a point and hold the reset button in on the back for "atleast" 30 seconds until the lights on the front to start flashing.
    About Mac address, you can map a Static IP with a specific mac address, You can folllow these steps in order to configure it.
