How can I get my Cisco wireless router to wirelessly connect to my Verizon Fios Actiontec router?

I have Verizon Fios for internet, tv and phone. The Verizon Actiontec router is connected with a ethernet cable into my desktop and the internet is up and running. Now I bought a Cisco Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router, and I wanted to connect it to another desktop two floors up. I set up the Cisco router according to the instructions, but I'm not able to connect to the internet. It shows that my computer was able to get a Local Network connection, but internet connection keeps failing.... I tried changing the IP address. But I'm confused about the whole thing. Is the Default gateway number suppose to be the same for both routers? Is it possible that the Actiontec router isnt giving off a strong enough wireless signal? I'm open for suggestions! Thanks

Mac or Windows machine?
Is the WRT connected directly to the upstairs computer? I don't think you can use the WRT that way?
Have you had a look here?:http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/General-Linksys-Router-FAQs/td-p/4286
I THINK you would have to have a WETxx (Ethernet Adapter)  instead?
 If it connects to the Internet even breifly then I suppose that means your connected but it may be losing the signal and failng. You would porbably have ot get a WAP(Access Point) and use it as a repeater.
 I'm a bit rusty on the names so I hope i got them right, hope it helps.....

  • New imac 27(Intel based,bought 2013) slow wifi connection with my Verizon fios actiontec router. All other wireless devices in the house(ipad 3gen,MacBook Air ,hp laptop) have a much faster connection. Should I change router settings to G only,etc

    New imac 27(Intel based,bought 2013) slow wifi connection with my Verizon fios actiontec router. All other wireless devices in the house(ipad 3gen,MacBook Air ,hp laptop) have a much faster connection. Should I change router settings to G only,switch channel from auto to maybe 6,channel width to 20mhz? Already changed security settings to WPA2.  Currently router is running in mixed b and g mode.

    If you have one computer running on G they will all run on G. All ROUTERS are backward compatible, in otherwords if you have a group of computers and all of them are N compatible and one or two are G They will all work but the N computers will run at N and those that are G will run at G speed not N.
    It can get confusing but really it is simple. The newest is 802.11 AC and ic used with the newest Mac Computers made available in November 2013. So if you have the newest Airport Extreme that is 802.11ac and the newest computers that are AC compliant your speed will be 5 times faster than anything on the market right now.

  • I want to use the ethernet connection from my new iMac to my Time Capsule.  It seems only the Wifi is seen by either device.  Ive connected the Time Capsule to the iMac.  How can I get the iMac to use the wired connection

    I want to connect my iMac to my Time Capsule using Ethernet.  I have them connected via an Ethernet cable, but only WiFi seems to be working.  How can I specify the Ethernet connection instead of WiFi?  Thanks
    Welked

    Go to preferences, network and see if ethernet is indicated. Be sure it shows a green dot.  Also be sure it is at the top of the list (above WiFi).  If not click on the the wheel at the bottom and set service order.

  • How can I get a replacement key for my wireless keyboard?

    I have a first generation Apple Wireless Keyboard with a key that has come loose. When I enter the serial number (beginning 3374900K***) into the selfcare database, it is not recognised, which prevents me from proceeding further and finding out if I can get a replacement key.
    Should I bring the keyboard into a store, or is there any other way (online) I can get this resolved?
    Thanks.

    Hello w:
    I think an Apple store would be the best approach.

  • How can I get my Mac to detect my wireless printer?

    I recently upgraded to yosemite and my Mac no longer recognizes my canon pima printer (wi-fi connection). I deleted the printer on the printer list after I received a connection error with the intention of adding it back and now cannot get my Mac to detect the printer to add it. I installed the updated driver from canon's site. Thank you for your help.

  • How can I get my new 5th generation iPod to connect to my Wi-Fi

    The Wi-fi signal shows up as strong but when I try to connect to Safari or talk to Siri, it dosen't work. When I go other places with my iPod, it connects fine. All my other electronics including a 2nd generation iPod have no problem connecting to the Wi-Fi. Also, I had a 5th generation iPod before my current one and it wouldn't connect eaither. What can I do?

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How can I get my iPhone 4 w/ iOS6 to Connect bluetooth with my Alpine CDE-133BT Car Stereo?

    My iPhone 4 with iOS6 will not send a bluetooth signal to the Alpine CDE-133BT Stereo I installed on my 2006 Toyota Tacoma. It had previously connected with iOS5. I contacted Crutchfield where I opurchased the stereo from and they said this is a common complaint with multiple brands of stereos not being compatible with the new iOS6 update. Has anyone had this issue and has a solution? Or is this something that Apple will have to fix?
    BTW, my phone recognizes my stereo as a bluetooth device but the stereo does not recognize the phone.
    Thanks.

    Hi I've had my CDE-133BT since July and recently updated to IOS6 on my iPhone 4 (not an S).
    I had to hold the BT phone button and forget all the devices paired to the 133BT.
    Then pair the phone again.
    I can stream music now however I can't control (change tracks, pause or play from the 133BT).
    This is because Alpine needs to update the firmware I believe.
    Hope that helped!

    Connect your phone to computer, and sync like this. Check the boxes for the playlists, artists, albums you want to sync. Then click Apply. If you have enough space on your phone, you can choose Entire music library.

    How can I get my iphone with ATT service to connect to internet using the Apple Network that all my other laptops and macbooks find easily and accept.  The iphone only "discovers" some random DSL code that is NOT mine and that needs a password.  Help!!! Not once has this phone allowed me to use my email.

    There does not seem to be any hour glass type of waiting.  When I installed AI I also had to manually activate it because it would not connect to the internet.  I also have photoshop version 3 and 5 (but I removed 5 yesterday but that didn't help) on my computer.  I tried disabling firewall but that didn't help.  I can see no internet related information in the exchange panel.

    Please verify that the programs (Ubuntu, Mint, Boot-Repair, etc.) you are attempting to use, support the Atheros AR8161L gigabit ethernet controller natively. Not all operating systems and software programs support every network device and/or configuration otut of the box. Many times, specific drivers must be loaded or injected into the OS for a device to function properly.
