How do I share internet using WRT54G router?

I have a computer that is connected to the internet, and it has 2 Ethernet ports. I'm using 1 of them to connect to the internet, and I want to use my WRT54G router to connect to the internet through the second Ethernet port, for my wireless devices. Is this possible? If so, how would I set it up. I have it plugged in right now, but it says limited or no connectivity on my computer, and it doesn't appear to be working on my wireless device.

It is something like this. Unplug the Ethernet cable from the computer and plug it to the internet port of the router. Now install another cable from port 1 in router to your ethernet port in your computer. Port 2 to second computer, etc. You will need a wireless adapter on each computer if you want to go wireless.
Now, you have to configure your router. Either use the CD or connect it manually.
Log on to router using 192.168.1.1 and use admin as password. Leave username blank.
Click on Wireless. Now change the SSID to something other than Linksys. Ex. Yankee. Click on save.
Click on Wireless Security. Change mode to WPA2 Personal. Change Algorithms to TKPS+AES. Make up a passphrase (8 charactors or more) Click on Save.
Now go to computer with wireless adaptor and look for your wireless network (ex. Yankee Secured Network) Click on it then connect. It should ask you for the key. Put the passphrase you set up in router.

Howto use WRT54G router to make satellite receiver LAN terminal wirelessly connectected?

Hi,
I have a satellite receiver with Ethernet LAN port connection point. I also have wireless network in my house to connect my computers wirelessly to internet.
Is it possible to make this satellite receiver wirelessly connected to my wireless home network by using WRT54G router attached to it?
If yes:
1)Which terminal of WRT54G router I must use for interconnection with satellite receiver ?
2)What I should do to configure WRT54G to achieve my goal, and how?
Thanks,

Thank you very much for the first reply.
However let me simplify my question this way:
In order to make satellite receiver part of my wireless home network, is it possible to use WRT54G as wireless adapter by connecting it with an Ethernet cable to LAN terminal (which has Ethernet connector) of the satellite receiver?
If the answer yes:
WRT54G has 4 Ethernet connectors marked 1,2,3&4 for LAN and one marked as Internet for ADSL modem.
1) To which connector of the WRT54G I must connect the cable end coming from satellite receiver LAN terminal?
2) What should I do (step by step please) to configure WRT54G to achieve my goal?
Thanks.

Why is my Wireless Network so painfuly slow ?!?!?!?! [Im using WRT54G Router]

I have a wireless network/internet connection setup in my house. I have Wireless G Linksys Router sending my 10mb Internet signal to my Laptop PC and G5 Mac, the internet works fine, great speeds on both pc and mac, however...
When i try and transfer files between my mac and pc on the wireless network its painfuly slow [it takes about 5 minutes to transfer a 60mb file]. However when i plug them in together using an ethernet cable the speeds are great and 50mb will transfer in a matter of seconds rather than minutes.
My problem is that having them connected via an ethernet cable is far from practical and i really want to be able to do fast transfers via the wireless network iv setup, this must be possible ?? this why i purchased this router after all !!
If anyone has any idea why the wireless network is so slow or how i could go about sorting it out then please let me know...I cant stress how much it would be apreciated !
Some Relevant Info which might be handy in diagnosing the problem:
- Im using a Linksys WRT54G Router with the latest firmware
- My Internet goes from the modem into the Router downstairs which then sends the wireless signal to my pc and mac upstairs
- Wireless Reciever [airpot extreme card] on mac is wireless G
- Wireless Reciever [Intel Pro Wireless] on pc is wireless B
- Transfering from mac to pc or pc to mac makes no difference to speed, its extremley slow for each.
- Im the only person using the network
- Im running the latest version of Windows XP and OSX Tiger
- The Signal Strength when recieving the Internet is Excellent
- Iv tried disabling any firewalls within the network [on the router/pc] and it makes no difference
PLEASE HELP !!!Message Edited by Altair on 10-08-200608:34 PM

Part of the problem is your wireless B. This will limit any file transfers to a maximum of 11 Mbps = about 1.1 M byte per second, after allowing for system overhead bits.
Therefore the minimum possible transmission time for a 60 M byte file, through a wireless B, would be about a minute.
Your wired connection runs at 100 Mbps, so the same file would take only about 6 seconds.
This may explain part of your problem. This is part of the reason your system is taking much more than 6 seconds. However, I do not know why your system is taking 5 minutes instead of 1 minute.

How do I share internet between my iphone 4 and my ipad?

I have an iphone 4S (model: MC603B/A) with 7.1.2 (11DD257). The operator is Carrier 16.1.
I have tried to share internet between this iphone and my ipad, but I cannot do it because when I arrive at the relevant option through adjustments (mobile data>set up "share internet"), I always get the same message: (to activate "share internet" in this account, contact Carrier - translation from Spanish.
I have contacted ONO, which is the phone company that is providing me with service, thinking that it was my "carrier", and they sent me back to "apple" to sort this out. They say that I could have this service if my iphone was well set up but they cannot do it themselves.
How could I set it up?
Thanks for your help in advance,
Telma

In order to use hotspot, you need to be provisioned by your phone carrier to do so. I suggest you go and talk to someone higher up with ONO.

How can I share printers using a non apple router, imac to ipad?

Newbie in osx, but experienced in linux.
My new imac has 3 printers setup for sharing, but ipad 2 / iphone 4 fail to see them. I am using the belkin router that I owned already, instead of buying an Airport.
I found a solution at askubuntu.com Q 26130 at http://askubuntu.com/questions/26130/how-can-share-my-printer-so-that-i-can-use- it-with-airprint
I setup a linux machine on the network, with no physical connection to any printer. The 1st, an hp fax psc has a usb to imac, as the 2nd, an hp psc, the 3rd printer is an epson wireless, which is only connected on the network by wifi to the belkin router. I'm certain the imac "sharing" is properly setup, because the linux machine has no trouble finding the printers. Only the ipad / iphone have a problem.
Once I put the linux machine (with the above changes) on the network, everything works as desired. I can print on the ipad / iphone to any of the 3 printers, using the built in Airport printer routine (not the epson or hp apps). And the imax and linux machines can also print on all 3.
So, I suspect the imac isn't telling the router to display the printers on the network in a way that iOS can see them. I know it would work if I owned an Airport, but I'd rather not spend that much right now.
I'm sure someone knowledgable in OSX might have an idea where to stick an Airport definition file, created from the python script in askubuntu, that could solve this without having to run the linux laptop all the time. Any ideas?
TIA

It's possible to use free software (Virtualbox and Ubuntu) to fix the broken iOS 5 Airprint printing with non supported printers. Here's a fix that works on my imac, but should also work on even a windows pc.
My setup is a lion imac with 2 non-airprint supported usb printers attached, a belkin wifi router that provides network connectivity for my imac, ipad, and iphone.
Install ubuntu 11.10 in a virtualbox vm. Specify to use the "Bridged Adapter" with "en1: WiFi (AirPort)" for the network hardware. Make sure the imac's usb printers are setup with sharing. On ubuntu, select System Settings > Printers and add your imac's shared printers to the list. Then start ubuntu's firefox and set "localhost:631" in the address. On the administration tab, under the Server section, check "Share printers connected to this system" and hit Change Settings button to activate it. Go back to ubuntu's printer setup, and right click on each printer and check that the properties Policies tab does not have any messages about it being unshared. If so, then go back to firefox and make sure the Server sharing checkbox is enabled. It may help to reboot.
Fire up virtualbox to be able to use AirPort printing to your imac's usb printers, when you want to print from the iphone or ipad. This also works on iOS 5.
Only problem is error message from iphone to check the printer for errors, even though it actually prints ok.

How can I share internet connection of iPad?

Under the following considerations:
- An iPad3 has established a 3G/4G data connection.
- There is a wireless access-point working.
- iPad is connected to that wireless access-point.
- There is a notebook (or desktop whatever) also connected to same wireless network.
... is it possible to share iPad's internet connection across the network and how?
Important note:
I am not looking for iPad to perform like a wireless hot-spot. IMHO I am looking for a gateway/router application for iPad.

You can't.
If you don't want to use your local WiFi you could try using a mobile phone that allows you to create a personal hotspot.

I'm having trouble connecting my Intel iMac with the internet using wifi router

I'm having trouble configuring my iMac to accept a connection with my Telstra Elite mobile broadband Wifi router.
The iMac's Wifi is turned on and the elite router is selected in the Wifi list with a tick.
The router is turned on, and connected to the internet.
I'm able to surf the net and collect emails using my MacBook Pro ( what I'm using now) and my iPad with no hassles by connecting them to the Telstra Elite Wifi router. But I'm unable as yet to get a connection using the iMac.
The Telstra router accepts up to 5 simultaneous connections.
At present the display on the router says that three devices are connected. They being the iPad, the MacBook Pro and the iMac.
Can anyone help me out?

How do I share internet videos from my pc to my tv with apple tv?

i would like to go to lds.org on my Apple PC and share a Family Home Evening video from there to my panasonic tv with apple tv connected? how do I do it? right now i only get itunes to play but not the shared screen that I was hoping for?

Do you have Mirroring turned to the on position on your iMac. To turn it on click System Preferences > Display > Display Tab > at the bottom of the screen check "Show Mirroring Options in the menu bar when available. Above that you will see Airplay on/off. Turn it on. If you do not see it your iMac does not support Airplay. But it should be there on a 2011 iMac running Mountain Lion.
