How to setup WRT54G as a wired bridge through another router

I have a verizon provided wireless router now and wish to utilize my wrt54G as a wired bridge. Basically, I want to use the WRT54G as a switch to connect 3 items that do not have wireless (a A/V receiver, XBOX 360, and some networked storage). The run is too long to have 3 connections directly to the verizon router, so I ran one and want the WRT54G to act as a HUB of sorts.
I connected the LAN output of my verizon router to the Input of the WRT54G, but no internet on the wired WRT54G outputs. I assume I need to switch something to "bridged mode", but cannot figure this out. I also suspect I need to disable DHCP, assign a static IP, and probably more, but I am having no luck.
Any ideas? Help is greatly appreciated.

What's the ip address of your verizon router?
Make sure that the Verizon router's ip address and the Linksys router's ip address both are suppose to be in the same network range.(For ex. Verizon router ip-192.168.2.1, Linksys Router ip- 192.168.2.2). Then connect the Ethernet cable from verizon router to the linksys router in Port number 1. Open the setup page of the Linksys router disable the DHCP and the Wireless (as you said you want to "utilize wrt54G as a wired router" )

How to Parameter WRT54GS to connect to Internet through Livebox-2 ?

I intend to connect a network built around the WRT54GS to Internet by passing through a second network who is already connected to Internet through the Orange Livebox-2 (French).
I have a traditional home network with basic shares on the French Orange Livebox-2 and its WiFi.
The computers runs XP - Pro .
My ADSL access is normally through the Livebox-2
(Range of addresses 192.168.1.xxx) and I run DHCP
Working Group "WORKGROUP".
It works without problem (Internet and VoIP telephony) except the Wifi of the Livebox which is known as poor (range and stability).
I also manages a small "pedagogical workshop" for the school who visit my mill.
This network is available to my young visitors based on a (tower) server containing the libraries and teaching materials and its printer. It’s XP - Pro machine. and to allow a maximum of two laptops be WiFi connected.
The second network is built around the Linksys router (wich integrates no modem, simply a router).
The WRT54GS router (rev 6) whose firmware is original Linksys up to date.
I am setting the two Wi-Fi (Livebox 6 Cnl) and Cnl 4 on WRT54GS and different keys (this is manageable without difficulty).
It has its server DHCP and Wi-Fi to connect their machine.
What about the name of this second network group ? Currently “WORKGROUP” as well.
I am setting a range different on the router WRT54GS (192.168.2.xxx) and enabled the DHCP.
This "educational" network works perfectly when alone and separated from the "home" network and doesn’t get connected to Internet…
I want to connect this router Linksys WRT54GS rev6 cascading through the Livebox-2.
Share Internet via the Livebox-2 access.
What about functionality?
What is the connection to setup ?
Should it be simple physical connection with a cable between the yellow ethernet port "2" of the Liveboxbox and the "Internet" connector of the Linksys router?
Is this a good track to explore? I have searched extensively on the Internet but found proposals who are very old and refer to old Livebox... I did test and is not satisfactory...
I have described as well as possible the needs and the config!
It is the experts to speak now !
I am available for further information.
HOW CAN I ACHIEVE THE INTER CONNECTIVITY?

From what I understand, you want to extend your internet connection - from the Orange Livebox-2 to your WRT54GS. You can actually do this by cascading the linksys router to your livebox. There are tow ways in cascading routers: LAN-LAN and LAN-WAN. For more information about cascading routers, you may refer to this link: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=785463d9ecaf4cac84aed245b08d615f_3733.xml&pid=104&....

But the revised requirement is I need to show the City_name in another page i.e. Page 2 when the user clicks on value of the Count_of_Cities. i.e. If the user clicks on 3, In page 2 the values should be appear like below
DELHI
MUMBAI
CHENNAI
If I click on the 4, the values in the page should be like below,
TOKYO
HONGKONG
BANGALORE
HYDERABAD
Currently in Page 1 I am hiding the City_Name and created a Hyperlink on Count_of_Cities. When clicked on Count_of_Cities it is navigating to Page 2. But the values for City_Name are not showing properly.
Please sugegst how I can show the City_Name values in page 2?
Please let me know if you require any additional information.
Please provide the solution. The requirement is urgent.
Thanks in Advance

I got the answer on my own.

Does Tiger require ownership (and sharing) of wired printers on a wireless LAN? My G4 (Tiger) is also wired to the LAN, and can access all wired printers through the router. Wireless Macs cannot even find the printers.

Does Tiger require ownership (and sharing) of wired printers on a wireless LAN? My G4 (Tiger) and all printers are wired to the LAN, and the G4 can access all printers through the router. Additional wireless Macs (Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion) cannot even find the printers. Yet, if the G4 shares the printers, then ALL computers on the LAN can access them. However, this requires the G4 to remain powered. Is there a workaround that would allow me to shut down the G4 and still use the printers?

Hello BDAqua!
Well, I am halfway there. Following your steps on the Snow Leopard MBP, the newer printer (a Canon MX860 inkjet) appeared automatically under the "default" icon on the ADD printer window. I used the IP icon with the HP Jetdirect-Socket protocol to find and add the older printer, (an HP 4000N). That required running a configuration page from the printer to locate its IP address. I printed to both printers through this laptop with success!
I then followed exactly the same procedure with the Mountain Lion MBP. For both installation attempts, I got an error message window: Unable to verify the printer on your network. "192.168.111" may not exist or is unavailable at this time. Would you still like to create the printer? If I click Continue, it creates the icon and name in the printer list. However when I attempt to print from an app. the next message says, 'Printer is unavailable.'
Why one laptop finds and uses both printers, and the newer laptop does not, just floors me!
Thank you for your ongoing assistance.

How to setup WinME TCP with wired connection to WRT54G?

I have a WinME computer that I'm trying to connect directly (via network cable) to a WRT54G router. I have an XP computer connected directly to the router and another XP connected via a wireless router, but I can't seem to figure out the settings to get the internet connection on the WinME computer to work, though the network neighborhood is working fine. I tried before to get a wireless connection on the WinME computer, but was unsuccessful (same thing; the network neighborhood worked fine; tried the internet access fix with Winsock to no avail). Now that I've moved all of the computers together into the same room, I thought I would try again using a direct connection, but I can't remember what the settings are for the network TCP/IP protocol? Putting the router's IP address in the gateway block does not seem to do anything. I can't even remember where I found all of the info before.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

I'm not using static addresses (except for the router). Here's the setup:
Internet Connection Type Static IP
Internet IP Address: . . . 206.183.182.233
Subnet Mask: . . . 255.255.255. 0
Gateway: . . . 206.183.182. 1
Static DNS 1: . . . 206.183.176. 2
Static DNS 2: . . . 216.168. 84. 2
Network Setup
Local IP Address: . . . 192.168. 5. 1
Subnet Mask: . . . 255.255.255. 0
Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)
DHCP Server: Enable
Starting IP Address . . . 192.168. 5.100
I've tried both IE and Firefox. I have tried using static IPs to no avail. What should the DNS and gateway settings on the WinME computer be?
Thanks!

How to setup WRT54G to iBook Airport, but has no ethernet cable port

I am trying to help a friend who broke her ethernet port plug. She has an iBook 600 running OS X Panther 10.3.9.
She bought an Airport card and installed it.
Bought the Linksys WRT54G wireless dsl router, but cannot get it going with her dsl because linksys setup CD only wants to install windows "exe" files.
Can she directly access the router just from Safari web browser by using the 192.168.1.1 / user blank / pw admin, and then go through setting up a WPA connection and wpa security manually?
Or does she have to have an ethernet connection first?
(if she must have ethernet cable connection, then she is, up creek with no boat and no paddle)
Thank you.
Best.

Correct... in more specific terms... click on the airport icon.. search for the default SSID( or wireless network name) and connect to it... once you are connected and have verified that you have a valid IP... then your all set to access the 192.168.1.1 page and configure the DSL and Internet.
For the wireless settings and WPA though, as per the last post... almost every single data you change there will kick you off the wireless network and you have to reconnect again...
For example, since you were connected to linksys (unsecured)... the moment you change this SSID to a personalized one... say myfriend101... you'd be off the router UI after you save the settings... so you have to reconnect manually again to myfriend101 (unsecured) again... once you are connected to this... and then decide to put say WPA security.. you'd get kicked off again the moment you save... (you get the pattern)...

How to setup apple time capsule with FIOSinternet and VZ router?)

Hello,
I have Apple time capsule and the VZ Router MI424WR. I current set up:
1. VZ router - wireless off, the rest is standard
2. Time capsule: Wireless on in Bridge mode
Result: Internet works but the wireless network is very in-stable. Airtunes is nearly not usable.
I searched in the Internet and there was several comments that is is not a good combination. Therefore it is recommended to convert the VZ router in a modem mode and use only the Time capsule as the router. I tried this several times I do not get it to work. I followed this procedure (http://data.agaric.com/node/2160) but then I need the PPPoE Account number and password. But there do I get this? The Verizon support was not really helpful.
Please, is there a good and complete description to solve that issue?
Thanks in advance
Moebius

Go back to your first setup ...
Verizon router with wireless turned off
Apple Time Casule with wireless turned on
Method 1:
With the Time Capsule in "Bridge Mode", if I remember correctly, you should connect the WAN port to one of the open ports on the Verizon router (I believe bridge mode also turns off the DHCP server on the Time Capsule, if not, find that and turn if off as well).   Change the addressing mode for the Time Capsule to "static" and assign it an address on the LAN which is not in use (choose something you know is out of the way but on the LAN -- I suggest 192.168.1.180 to start -- you can change it once you get everything working).
If it doesn't work this way for you, move the cable from the WAN port on the Time Capsule to Port 1 and try again.
Method 2:
This results in a router behind a router setup, but unless you have devices connected directly to the Verizon router, it shouldn't be a problem.
With the Time Capsule disconnected from the Verizon router, turn on "Connection Sharing" (not bridge mode) and make sure DHCP is enabled on the Time Capsule. You need to change the address range being used by the Time Capsule (which I think defaults to 192.168.1.x to another network -- I suggest, 192.168.2.x with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and give the router an address of 192.168.2.1 on the LAN side. Now, connection the WAN port to one of the Verizon router LAN ports. If you had anything connected to the Verizon LAN ports, move those over to the LAN ports on the Time Capsule and reboot them.
Method 3:
This is the least desirable of the scenarios because it relies on Verizon's crappy radio in their router (the Time Capsule has a much better radio and support 802.11n as well as b and g) whereas Verizon's only support b/g.    Go back to the configuration for Method 1, but also turn OFF wireless on the Time Capsule and turn on wireless on the Verizon router.   Try both bridge scenarios described -- using the WAN port first and if that didn't work, then moving the connection to port 1.
There is no scenario where you can place the Verizon router behind the Time Capsule -- since I believe Verizon is using all MoCA connections for the WAN side of their connection (you'd have to get Verizon to convert you to ethernet WAN and then they would not support you most likely for any STB issues with your FiOS if the Time Capsule was between the ONT and their router ... so don't even bother wasting time there ... more headaches than it would be worth.
If you're still not sure exactly what each configuration screen on the time capsule should say, post some screen snaps (or the configuration settings/choices which you are unsure about and someone will likely know the answer here).

How to setup AT&T U-Verse Pace 5031NV Gateway router for Remote Web Access?

The Pace 5031NV Gateway router is not UPnP able.
logged into the router
http://192.168.1.254/xslt?PAGE=C_3_1b_POST&NEXTPAGE=C_3_1b_POST I defined "Firewall Application Profile Definition "Windows Server 2012 RWA"
I did NOT select an Application Type
Windows Home Server 2011 required port 80 forwarding but the instructions for Windows Server 2012 r2 refers only to port 443. Then the wizard attempts to setup RWA and returns two red errors One refers to posts 443 and 80 so I added 80
port forwarding. I believe 80 is for http and 443 is for https. following is the error screen shot after retrying with both ports forwarded.
I can also say that I had no success trying to do the same with Windows Home Server 2011 and the 2Wire AT&T U-Verse gateway modem though there are a number of forums with discussion about this. But now I have the newest ATT gateway modem from Pace.
Does anyone use RWA with AT&T U-Verse?
Eric Robert Lewis, Ph.D.

Hi,
Before you manually configure the router to forward the required ports to Windows Server Essentials, did you
assign the server a static IP address
by DHCP reservation of an IP address or by assigning an IP address that is outside of the DHCP address range? Just a confirmation, thanks for your understanding.
Please refer to following articles and check if can help you.
Windows
Server 2012 Essentials: Router Setup
Configure a Router - Windows Server Essentials
By the way, if you select “I want to skip the listed issues for now and run the wizard again later”
option and click Close button, then type RWA website in IE, can you access RWA website successfully? Or get any error message?
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

Connection between Wireless network (shared) and wired network through a router/modem

I have a windows 8.1 X64 installed on my pc. i have connected a USB wireless network adapter to it so that i can connect to another wireless
network. my internet connection comes from this device as well.
I've got a Modem/router/AP (TD-W8970) and i set it up to work as wireless router with DHCP server enabled. i wanted to share my internet
connection that comes from wireless network adapter in home so i did the followings:
1. connected the WAN port of my router to the Ethernet port of my PC.
2. in windows' network adapter settings i shared my wireless network adapter's connection with the Ethernet port.
now i can connect with my laptop to my wireless router and use internet connection that is being shared by PC's wireless adapter but i
can't connect to the PC in order to have a home group with it or use the shared files/folders in PC.
More Details:
Wireless network adapter local settings:
IPv4 Default Gateway/ DNS server/ DHCP server = 192.168.1.1
IPv4 address: 192.168.1.4 - IPv4 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Ethernet
port settings:
IPv4 address: 192.168.137.1
IPv4 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 .
my question is how to make that connection like a LAN and what configuration do i need to apply on both router or PC.
Thanks in Advance!

Hi,
Please try the following steps for test to configure your network sharing.
1. Open CMD, type ipconfig/all. Then remember USB wireless card DNS server address.
2. Open Network Connection, Change Adapter settings, USB adapter properties, check network sharing.
3. Open Local network connection, generally speaking, Router's default lan address is 192.168.1.1, you can asign the desktop PC IP as 192.168.1.2.
4. Access into Router management interface, then enable router's DHCP service. Set its gateway same as sharing host address, DNS server same as USB wlan's DNS server address.

How To Setup WPA on WRT54G?

I have looked everywhere but cannot seem to find a how-to guide on WPA.
Everything I hear says WPA is more secure than WEP, but if it automatically exchanges keys, what prevents someone else from hopping on the wireless? My thought is it has something to do with an initial code to connect it to the network... but won't this just be like WEP?
I just need a how-to guide how to setup WPA.
I have a WRT54G v3.1 with latest firmware, and am using XP SP2 with latest updates. The card is non-linksys (I want to say Broadcom, but I am not sure).
Just need to know what to configure on the router and my PC.
From what I understand Personal vs Enterprise (If I remember, maybe it is called Corporate or something) is that the non-personal version requires a server, which I don't have. So I need personal.
The router does also have WPA2 on there, I do not know the differences but I would assume it to be better than regular WPA.
Thanks!

You may go to the linksys router set up page http://192.168.1.1 leave username blank and admin is the password.
Click on the wireless tab and the sub category tab under wireless the wireless security , you can choose wpa on the security mode, choose TKIP as the algorithms, on the pre-shared key typed in here your password for your wireless, this will server as your network, it should be at least 8 characters long. Leave it on 3600 seconds.

I have another router tenda w311r+ and there i have options in WDS- Lazy, Bridge and Repeater modes..
Lazy mode is without asking BSID but others ask so i asume Lazy repeats every routers around signals..
But what then is difference in Bridge and Repeater mode?
I wasnt able to set all up corectly..
Read tutorials about w311r+ and doing similar couldnt get it work..

1
In tenda i have
Wifi settings
BSSID NameTenda123 Passw123 <---- This is not same as WRT54G settings, do i need to make it like that also? Even channel the same?
WDS settings
Repeater ESSID Mac of WRT54G and WifipasswofWRT54G <--- this is the same as set inWRT54G
2
And do i connect from computer to NameTenda123 to get repeated signal from WRT54G ?
Or the same name as reapted signal router i need to connect? BSSID of WRT54G? And do i need to set in tenda wifi settings witch now are different then WRT54G wifi settings but in Tenda WDS repeater settings are set..
Maybe i need to set Tenda wifi off and only set WDS to be on?
3
Also to WRT54G i log in to 192.168.0.1 and maybe i need to set Tenda to 192.168.0.2 ? and something else?

How to setup WRTSL54GS VPN?

I'm fairly network literate but I need a walk through for setting up a VPN on WRTSL54GS router and how to confirm settings are working.
I talked with Support (in the Phillipines)and advised me to set my DSL modem to bridge mode, done that and Internet connectivity is OK. But the documentation on configuring the VPN is very weak. For testing I am dropping the wireless on this router and connecting to a neighbors open wireless router and unable to connect to the VPN I setup. My router does have the latest version of the firmware.
I plan on using the VPN to connect to the network storage connected to the router when offsite.
Thank you for your help.
Dave K.

That was the point of buying this router. I really don't want to leave my workstation on 24/7 but, prefer to have a low cost storage online dedicated to the purpose.
Is there a home based router with firewall, wireless, wired capability, with attached storage accessable from both inside and outside securely that does not do pass-through VPN but instead can act as a termination for the VPN?
I have configured the FTP server and have connected that way but that leaves the password and username transmitted in clear text. Any sniffer could pick up on that. I want to make this a secure connection even better if I could restrict the MAC address to my laptop only connecting.
I'm open to ideas. What have others done low cost?
What if I purchased low cost network storage with its own IP and placed it inside my home network, of course it would have a NAT'd non public IP. I suspect since the router is pass through VPN the storage would have to have VPN capability?
And I think I read something in the forum that if the VPN is setup only the VPN is allowed through and I would not be able to surf the net? Not quite sure of the details how this works. Might be another road block to using this router.
Thanks in advance.

How To Connect WRT54GS Wirelessly

I have a WRT54GS router that I want to setup wirelessly with my Windows XP desktop that only has a wireless adapter installed. There is no ethernet port on the pc. I have looked at the Stickys and read the FAQ but still haven't found an answer that clearly states how to setup the router without using an ethernet cable connected to the pc. I want to have the ability to access the web based setup page as well so that I can secure my settings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Generally, it's better to configure the router through a wired connection to be sure you configure your router and not someone else's... Thus if you have any wired ethernet device it's better to use that instead of trying a wireless only setup.
You can set it up only through wireless, however, you should make sure you are connected to your router in the beginning. Easiest test would be to unplug your router from power and check for available wireless networks. If there is still another "linksys" network to be seen, you must be extra careful.
Anyway, then plug your router back into power. Make your computer search for networks and connect to the unsecured "linksys" network. It's best to put the computer close to the router for this to make sure you connect to your router.
Then open the web interface at http://192.168.1.1/ default password should be "admin", no username required.
To be sure it's your router, go to the Status page, check it's really a WRT54GS and check the MAC address you see there. It should be the same as the one printed underneath the WRT (maybe one or two off in the last digit). If it's a completely different MAC address, check the LAN and wireless subtabs and the MAC addresses shown there. If all MAC addresses are completely different, unplug the router from power and see if your computer is still connected to the web interface or not.
Anyway, once you have established it's really the web interface of your router, check the firmware version and on the router and the one available online. It's best to upgrade the firmware before you do the configuration. If you have the latest firmware you have to configure the router. I would recommend the following steps:
1. Go to the Wireless page. Change the SSID to something unique. Save settings.
2. You'll loose the connection. Make your computer search for networks again. You should now see the new unique SSID. Connect to that network and open the web interface again.
3. Next set up wireless security. Enable WPA2 Personal with AES encryption and set a strong passphrase. Save settings. You'll loose the connection again.
4. Now you have to reconnect. Depending on your computer and the software use to configure the wireless you may have to remove the unique SSID first from the list of preferred network before you can reconnect. The computer usually remembers the SSIDs joined before and won't connect if the security settings don't match the one used before. But you have to find that out.
5. As you are still using XP the computer may not support WPA2 or AES encryption (which is the best and strongest you can use today). Thus, if you are absolutely not able to reconnect the computer you will have to reset the router to factory defaults pressing the reset button for 30 seconds and start over. Choose WPA Personal with TKIP and a strong passphrase then. That should work. I would not recommend to use WEP which is easily cracked.
6. Once you have managed to set up your desktop to connect to your secured wireless network you should make one more change: change the default password "admin" on the "Administration" setup page.
7. Remember to clean up the list of preferred wireless networks, in particular, don't forget to remove the "linksys" network from that list. Otherwise your computer may automatically connect to a "linksys" network if one comes available in the proximity.
That should be it.
