How to setup linksys router on a mac

just bought the wrt54G and the setup cd only works for a pc. Does anyone know how to install it on a mac book.

sorry my message was sent before I completed it...
as I was saying, you need to first look for the IP address of your default gateway. In a new Linksys router, it is usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 but to be sure, check your default gateway settings by looking at your wireless adapter configuration.
Once you get the IP address, open up your browser and type in the IP address of the default gateway.
You will be shown a router login page. Leave the username blank and type in "admin" for the password.
You will now be in the configuration/setup menu. You can immediately start configuration from here. If you need any help, just click on the help screens at the right hand part of your monitor.
Hope this helps

WAN IP not available, how to setup Linksys as a router

Hi, I have a WRT100 and a WRT54G. Our ISP does not give us the WAN IP. So all i have is the 192.168.1.1 IP on my network. We have ADSL. So the gateway is 192.168.1.1. How do I setup my router with DHCP to use 192.168.1.1 as my gateway? If i configure DHCP, the router is used as a gateway, but because I do not have the WAN IP, i can not use the router as a router. Anyone have an answer for me. Thanks.

Channel number is on auto
I have a Ubuquiti antenna
Here is the webpage for the antenna
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004EGI3CI/ref=oh_aui_...
I connected Linksys E900 router to this antenna and then another cable is connecting the router to my laptop
To access antenna settings I typed 192.168.1.20 and accessed the antenna settings I chosed bridge option
Then accessed internet explorer typed in 192.168.1.1 for linksys router settings
Here is the linksys settings

While it was connected I tried to surf the net but it did not work
I unplugged it form the router and checked the wifi signals and saw my wifi signal very strong
But tried to connect but it says can not connect
Can someone help me?.
Is default gateway supposed to be the same in main router and the bridge router and the antenna?

You need to verify with the e900 that it actually has the Bridge mode feature, it it does not, the only other thing you can do is to run it in wired AP mode:

If you you an actual bridge mode feature, and the e900 will not work, I suggested reviewing this as an alternative:

How to setup Linksys WRT120N for a dialup connection?

I have a Linksys WRT120N wireless router. There is NO broadband modem connected to it. There is only a dialup modem inside the desktop computer.
Windows XP SP3 is sensing that there is an always on connection to the internet with the Linksys WRT120N
Question: How to I configure the Linksys WRT120N for a dialup connection?
Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Update
The DHCP Server "disabled" setting doesn't stick, it returns to "enable" when returning to the configuartion settings tab, for whatever reason.
Anyway, everything else seems to be there, including the "MSHOME" for networking; but STILL doesn't recognize dialup as default connection.
Here's an example of what I'm seeing:
When a time sync program is run automatically at startup, before the Linksys router was added, it would WAIT for dialup connection to be made BEFORE syncing the time.
After Linksys router was added to the computer, the time sync program, when starting with windows, will NOT WAIT for a dialup connection to be made, it will attempt to sync with NO DIALUP CONNECTION being made.
A temporary fix has been to go to Local Area Connection (the Linksys router connection), right-click and uncheck Internet Protocol (which will also uncheck client for microsoft networks and file and printer sharing).
I've manually reset Linksys router back to factory defaults and waiting for any help.
The USB Adapter has not been configured to work with the computer that will be networked. Currently, I plugged it into the computer with the Linksys router to quickly give you all the information I have for the ipconfig /all
(The networked computer will not always be used. What prompted my post, is that first, what I am really after is trying to fix this problem with the time sync program seeing the internet connection as "on" when a dialup connection has not yet been made. Then, I'll focus on the second computer networking.)
As you requested here's the ipconfig /all info:

How to setup a routing rule for a specific file type for the content organizer?

Hello,
how can I set a routing rule for a specific file type, for example for "pdf" or for "docx", for my content organizer?
As standard I can only choose for the rules the content type, name and title of the file uploaded.
Thank you in advance!
JohnyG

Hi Johny,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to create a routing rule for a specific file type.
I recommend to create rules with the conditions as the image below shows for the Document content type(for example: .docx files):
Best regards.
Thanks

How to setup Apple remote on my Mac Pro

Hi I just received my Apple Remote to use with my Mac Pro. How do I get it to work? Do I have to pair the remote with the Mac Pro? Are there specific programs that will only work with the Apple Remote? I tried Itunes and nothing happened, Pressing button's doesn't seem to do anything. Any help is greatly appreciated

No, the mac pro is the only mac that doesn't currently support the apple remote as is. If you have a ipod touch or iphone, you can use the "remote" app from apple to use your touch or iphone as a remote over wifi. I've tried it before, it works great~ Only tried in itunes though, not sure if front row works.

How to Setup iTunes Server with dedicated Mac

Hi,
I'm about to attempt to setup an iTunes Server. But before I do I want to make sure I have everything needed in order to accomplish this the way I envision it.
This is the hardware/software I have:
1. Powerbook G4 1.5Ghz
2. iPhone
3. Time Capsule
4. USB Drive
5. Airport Express connected to Stereo
6. iTunes 8
7. Screen Sharing
8. 10.5.5
9. Intel iMac
Here's what I want to be able to do (ideally):
1. Have iTunes run on the Powerbook.
2. Store all of the media files on the USB drive that is connected to the Time Capsule.
3. Have Time Machine backup the files from the USB drive to the Time Capsule.
4. Use the iPhone as a remote control to skip and rate songs, etc.
5. Sync the iPhone with the Powerbook for Music & Movies and sync it with my desktop iMac for everything else. Also, be able to sync iPods to the Powerbook.
6. Occasionally use iTunes Sharing on my iMac to watch movies or TV shows that are "hosted" by the Powerbook.
7. Occasionally hard-wire the Powerbook to my TV to watch movies or TV shows that are "hosted" by the Powerbook.
7. Not have the Powerbook hard-wired to anything (other than when syncing iPhone & iPods and when it's connected to the TV).
8. Use Screen Sharing to make playlists and generally edit iTunes from my desktop iMac.
Is all of this possible? The only real hiccup I anticipate is with Time Machine backing up the USB drive to the Time Capsule. That and maybe the streaming of movies not working so smoothly on the 802.11g protocol.
Have I missed anything?

Everything should be good.
I have a similar set-up, just substitute my mini in place of your powerbook.
The only thing I would add is I have yet to get coverflow to work on a networked library. In other words, when I view my mini iTunes library from my iMac- I don't see the album artwork or the movie posters...it's just a list of the media.
No major deal, but the reason I keep my drive connected to the mini as opposed to a NAS (network attached storage) device like the Time Capsule.
My mini is my media center and I want to be able to view the cover artwork/posters.
If there is a better way- let me know!

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?

Then , Connect the MACINTOSH Computer to Port 1 or
Port 2 on the Router.Hope you are Online. Now,
Open a new Internet Browser Page, and in the address bar,
type http://192.168.1.1, press return, And when asked for
Username and Password,
Leave the Username blank and in the Password field,
type admin . This will help you access the Router's
Console. Now, Click the Tab " Wireless " at the top,
Rename the SSID from ' Linksys' to your preferred name.
Save the Settings.
Now, Click the Tab " Wireless " at the top,
Then Click the Sub Tab in the Blue Line ' Wireless Security '
just below the Wireless Tab,
Set the Security Mode to WEP, Default Key as Key 1,
Encryption Mode as ' 64 Bits10 Hex Digits ' ,
Leave the Passphrase blank, Type a 10 digit Key
[ can contain 0-9, A-F ] in WEP Key 1 Field alone,
Copy the Key on a piece of paper for your reference,
Save the Settings. Now, Make your Computer Wireless.
Restart it. Once the Computer has restarted,
Go to " System Preferences",
Click on the Icon , " Network " , Set the Location to " Automatic "
Set the Show Listing as " Airport "
Now, Under the Tab Airport, Set it to
By default Join a Specific Network.
Click the + Button to add a Network
As the Network name, type the same name of the Network
that you have typed on the Router's Console, by
delecting the name Linksys.
As the WEP Password , type a $ symbol followed by the
10 DIGIT Number that have had copied on a piece of Paper.
For Example, if your WEP Key is 0123456789,
you will type it on the MACINTOSH AS
$0123456789
Click Apply Now button Down below.
Now, Click the First Tab " TCP / IP,
Check the IP Address below Configure " Using DHCP " .
If it's in the range, 192.168.1.100
and the Router Id is 192.168.1.1 >>>>>>>>> COOL
Check whether you are Online wirelessly with the Computer

Setup e2500 router

Need help with setup for e2500 router to dsl internet. Keep getting error msg and stops setup process

What is the operating system of your computer? If the setup cd will not work, then take it out and proceed in configuring the router manually. But first reset the router for 10 seconds then powercycle it then check the link below on how to setup the router for DSL connection.

Linksys router requires ethernet port-help!

Bought new Linksys router that's Mac-compatible, thought I'd connect it to my Ethernet source, then connect MacBook Air to the router wirelessly, but the router's setup software (run on external SuperDrive) insists I connect an Ethernet cable from the router to the Air...obviously, that's not going to happen. Even if an Ethernet-to-USB adapter did the trick, I wouldn't want to buy it just for this setup.
Anyone know a workaround? All I've thought of is to haul my iMac up to this new office, do the installation/setup on the iMac, then once the router's up and running, connect wirelessly with my Air...if that'd work.
Any thoughts? Much appreciation, Lee

Hi Linksys. I am in a hotel in Wuhan China and every time I go to use their ethernet plug in through an adaptor it still does not give me access to the internet, the problem is that whilst I am at work I have no problem getting on line with wifi; however for all those times when i wish to use Skype or just e-mail someone, I cant get on. I bought the adaptor and when I use it all I get is a message saying that there is a problem with the 3 ports, and then advises me to check my firewalls.
So buying an adaptor is not working for me. If you find an answer then please let me know.

How to setup real SFTP in Yosemite?

There's lots and lots of information online about how to setup remote access to my mac using SSH and SFTP in Yosemite...but apparently none of it is actually useful for genuinely remote access...access from outside my network, access from miles away. Because here is what I have learned:
The ip address listed in the Sharing pane when you access remote login is internal. it's some version of 192.168.x.x, which is essentially everybody's computer and utterly useless from outside the network.
So my actual public ip as assigned by my service provider is really my IP if you are trying to get to my computer from outside.
But that IP doesn't "just work" via SSH or, much more importantly for me, SFTP. Evidently that involves something called "port forwarding" which one used to be able to do via Airport Utility, but is no longer possible because such options do not exist in the current version of the utility.
(What I want to achieve is for a friend of mine, a friend on a mac about 4 miles away, to be able to directly access very large files on my computer. I don't want to use clouds or public sites or anything like that, I just want to be my own private little FTP server just for her. That used to be no big deal.)
So... is there a solution for this?

Dropbox may be a better option if you can both have accounts with enough storage, it is a simple setup process that can be forgotten about.
Bittorrent sync is another option that mirrors data between several endpoints. You should get better performance if the files are not being transferred over the network (Dropbox & Bittorrent sync create copies at each end).
ssh & port forwarding allows you to use sftp, if you do some more setup you can also use sshfuse to mount the remote content as a network disk, it's a plugin for http://osxfuse.github.io
Just be aware that many scripts & botnets are constantly attempting to login on visible ssh ports on routers across the internet. Enabling ssh to outside access means that any user on you Mac can be a potential login - have good passwords set on ALL user accounts, and do not enable the root account password. There are also options to disable passwords in ssh (& use ssh keys only) if you want better security.
ssh is good, but it is not trivial to setup and it won't open ports for you. Apps like bittorrent sync can use UPnP to request port forwarding rules, to make setup easier.
Back to My Mac is OK, provided you are willing to hand over the keys to your Apple ID.
P.S. You keep mentioning ftp, please avoid ftp. ftp can use plain text passwords that can be sniffed over the network, avoid opening the network to inbound ftp traffic too.

Linksys Router- Assign IP Address?

I have a Linksys router with my Mac Pro. I have my mac pro wired into the router but it is a wireless router so there are other things on the router as well such as the Xbox. I have to have certain ports open for the Xbox to work and my torrent client to work as well. Sometimes the router auto assigns the IP to my computer and then I have to go into the router settings and change which IP has which ports open for it. Is there a way to assign my computer an IP so it gets the same IP every time and same with the Xbox?

Open Network preferences click on the Advanced button then on the TCP/IP tab. Note the IP address assigned to your computer by the router, then change the TCP/IP IPv4 Configure drop down menu to DHCP with manual addressing. Then insert the IP address your router was using under the previous setting. Click on the Apply button. Use this IP address in your port forwarding configuration.
