Linksys BEFW11S4 v2 with a NETGEAR RP614 v3

I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 v2 with a NETGEAR RP614 v3.
My setup is my Cable modem, into my NETGEAR RP614 v3, and everything works perfectly fine. I got a Linksys BEFW11S4 v2 and updated its firmware from the linksys server.
Now,
I'm hooking the Linksys into the NETGEAR router (ethernet) and using the Linksys wireless to connect my laptop to the entire network.
(My PC desktop is running XP Home and my Laptop is running Windows Vista Home Premium)
My laptop can go online perfectly fine wirelessly, and the signal and everything seems perfectly fine. My problem is however, my Laptop can't see the computers on the NETGEAR router. (The Linksys acquires the correct IP and Domain and everything from the NETGEAR however).
I've set the network discovery and all in Windows Vista to on, however it can't see the computers still. I've even disabled the Firewalls at one point on the desktops.
However, Itunes finds the SHARED music files and stuff from the NETGEAR computers. And when I ran Diablo2, with TCP/IP I could connect to a game hosted by a NETGEAR computer, yet when I hosted, they couldn't connect to me behind the Linksys.
Anyone think they can help ?
Thank you for your time,
Charles Louis

That's because they belong to different networks: I think it goes this way...
Netgear usually operates under the network IP of 192.168.0.x while Linksys operates under network IP of 192.168.1.x ......... now if you want to do file and printer sharing on all your PC's... have them belong to the same network by doing the ff:
► change IP of the BEFW11S4 to 192.168.0.x (preferrably 50)
► disable the Linksys DHCP server
► connect the Netgear to port 1 of the Linksys router
This would make in effect your BEFW11S4 just like a wireless switch.

Constant disconnects with Linksys BEFW11S4/Westell/Bellsouth Ultra DSL

I recently upgraded to the 6mb DSL service from Bellsouth. Previously I had the 3mb. Anyways everything was fine for sometime even with the faster service. The last few weeks I have been having constant disconnects(several a day). Naturally the wireless lite on my Linksys BEFW11S4 goes out each time. I then un-power the router then re-power and I'm off and running again. I am using a westell modem. Bellsouth tells me that its not them since i do have an internet coneection and referred me to Linksys. After several live chats(due to disconnects and then having to start tellin my issue all over again) they had me upgrade my firmware. Well did that and problem hasn't changed. I've played with the different router channels and they don't seem to help as well. Bellsouth told me that I had a static ip, so I tied setting up router that way, but then i got no connection. Unil reently everything was fine, this just started! Any help is greatly appreicated. My 17 yr old daughter is going through internet withdraws upstairs!

If you are on DSL using a Westell Modem; make sure you ask your ISP to bridge the Modem first and use the PPPoE fucntion on your router. Change the LAN IP of the router to something else like 192.168.2.1 so it won't get a conflict with the IP of the Westell. Then if you are on cable, you can try adjusting the MTU size to 1492, 1400, 1300, or 576 then check which value would get your connection stable. You can reset your router right after you upgrade it also, then reconfigure it again. Hopefully yell be fine after that!

IChat AV 3.0.1 Set-Up For Netgear RP614 v2 router

I have been having constant intermittent problems with iChatAV 3.0.1 (OS 10.4.2) on my PB G4. The error I get is "Insufficient Bandwith" when I try to connect with a PC (using Trillian Pro) or MAC (using iChatAV). I have the cable modem plugged into the Netgear. I then plug a PC, X-Box, Laser printer and an Airport Extreme (configured as a remote repeater) into the Netgear. I use the Airport Extreme wirelessly with my PB G4 17" and an Airport Express in my stereo for iTunes. The Netgear was configured to have all blocking turned off, manually set IP addresses for all computers and X-Box. And the UPnP enabled along with the maximum open port settings for iChatAV (TCP & UDP @ 1024-65535) for use with AOL/Trillian programs. If anyone has the Netgear RP614 v2 router working perfectly with the iChatAV 3.0.1, please post the settings ASAP. I talked with Apple service yesterday and they illuted that they have a problem with the bandwith errors. They said they are working on it !

HI John,
From this page http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Netgear/RP614/default.htm I can see that you must have a newer firmware then the pics show as UPnP is not on there.
Static Addreses do seem to do better in some cases.
The PC applications should be able to use UPnP but I am not sure about the X-Box.
You should not need to port forward all ports and do UPnP at the same time. I would turn off the Port Forwarding you have and use it only for the X-Box, if needed, on the ports it needs.
The error mesages and Connection Doctor details are not as good in iChat 3 as they were in iChat 2 (and those took some working out).

Linksys befw11s4

I am trying to figure out if I can use an Airport Express (the $99 dollar thing) with my wireless Linksys befw11s4 to stream music from itunes in my Windows XP Pro laptop. I cant seem to find a strait answer on the web. I am not sure if it is becuase the Linksys rounter is old or what. itunes, linksys, and xp are all so popular someone must have figured out how to do this. I spoke to someone at the apple store who said it could be done but he did not know how. I am looking for some relitivly clear instructions.
Maybe I am searching for the wrong thing terms but cant seem to figure out it it is possible and how to do it with this set up. I dont know why it is not as easy as conecting the linksys router to the airport router with a cat5 cable and then the airport router to my stero.
Any help would be appreciated.

Do I need to log into my linksys router and do anything?
No
2)It only allows computers with listed MAC addresses.
OK, you will need to make a change. The best solution is to disable this feature since it offers no real security. If you don't want to do that, you must add the MAC address of the wireless interface of the AX to that list.
3)does not broadcast its name (i thnk this is called SSID).
This doesn't have to change. However you should be aware that this offers no security. The SSID is still broadcast between the base station and any connected clients. Therefore it only takes a few seconds to find the SSID and access your network.
Sometimes this option does cause problems with wireless connections.
If you want to secure your network, forget about hiding the SSID and MAC address filtering. Use WPA2 or WPA with a non-dictionary password... if your wireless devices support it.

Linksys BEFW11S4 v4

Hi,
I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 that works just fine, or so I think. Currently there are 2 desktops and a PS3 connected to the router via cat-5. One desktop has Win Vista/Win 7 (both 32-bit Home) installed and the other desktop has XP Home. I recently got a Dell N5010 laptop with Win 7 Home 64-bit installed on it. I'm trying to set up the wireless network so I can use the laptop upstairs, but after setting up WEP and WPA, I can either NOT connect to the internet on the laptop, or when I do connect, the desktop with the dual OSes gets kicked off the internet, then the laptop disconnects, and I have to reset the router in order to get online with the desktop. I've searched everywhere for a solution. Everything is set to obtain an IP automatically, I've tried doing manual configuration, I've made sure firmware for the router is up-to-date, all network adapters have the latest drivers, I can use the laptop when it's wired to the router. The laptop has an Intel WiFi Link 1000 BGN adapter installed. Drivers are the latest, status says it's working properly. Like I mentioned before, I can use the laptop and everything else wired to the router when security is disabled, but I, personally, do not want my network unsecure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, I am able to connect without any problems when the network is unsecure. Setting the security to WEP worked. The last time I tried that, it kept saying Limited Access, so that was probably user error and me not putting the code in correctly. Firmware version is 1.52.03. There aren't any other wireless devices on the network since the PS3 is connected to the internet via a cat-5 cable.
Is it safe to use WEP instead of WPA?

Can't connect to my linksys befw11s4

i have an existing wireless router in place at home and all of a sudden one of my laptops can't connect to my linksys befw11s4 router. I can connect my other laptops and desktop with no problems. I have rebooted my router and cable modem several times to no avail. When I look at my connections on my dell inspiron 125 laptop, running vista home premium, it shows up as local access only. I have disconnected it and reconnected with no success. Any ideas?

Open the router setup page,click on the status page and note down the dns1 and dns2 no.On the laptop,assign the static dns under WAN and restart the computer...Now,check.

Does Linksys WUSB54G work with airport express?

i just purchased a linksys to use with my airport express and it doesn't work...

I suspect it is probably a WEP issue.
Problems connecting an XP PC to a WEP enabled Airport Extreme Base Station
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/2002.html
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

You could avoid using the Linksys software and use XP's native support but you may need to turn on Wireless Zero Configuration as the Linksys software will have probably turned it off.

BEFW11S4 Problems with Laptop and Xbox 360

For the past few weeks my Linksys BEFW11S4 has been malfunctioning. When I try to connect to the wireless network from my laptop, it says "Not Connected" but I can still access the internet for a few minutes before it really disconnects. Unplugging the router and plugging it back in lets me connect again, but still it gives the "Not Connected" message and boots me off within a few minutes. It has also been causing problems with my Xbox 360. It is connected with an ethernet cable to the router, but every time I turn the Xbox on it says that it is not connected. After I unplug the router and plug it back in, the problem is fixed, and I can go online on my Xbox for as long as I want. Anyone know how to fix this?

It seems that router is not configured properly ..... checkthe firmware version on the status page of router ..... .
Upgrade the firmware if required .....

SB6121 modem & Linksys BEFW11S4 router compatability?

I know it's an old router, but after upgrading my service to 30mbps, I only get about 5mbps even with the direct wired hookup from the router. I get ~25mbps with the router removed, so the modem is working OK. I checked for the firmware upgrade, and I already have the latest installed.
Since this router is a 10/100, I think I should do better, at least with the wired connection (I may have to put up with slower speeds on my wireless connection with the laptop). Is there something I can do to realize the potential of my new ISP account?

You're spending hundreds each year on internet service and now you have a fast service. I think you need a router with a big CPU.

MSI BToes and NetGear RP614 and ICS

Hi folks
Do any of you know if its at all possible to have a NetGear RP614 router and a MSI BToes working together?
My problem is...
i have 3 pc's on the router and sharing the internet quite happily. Now i just bought a laptop and wanted it to connect to the already setup LAN via bluetooth. So i bought 2 MSI BToes 30m dongles. In the manual it says i need to enable internet connection sharing on the pc that talks to the laptop via bluetooth. Only problem is that i can't enable it as it says the ip on the LAN that it needs is already taken.
I thought heh it could be 192.168.0.1 that it wants so i changed the router to 192.168.0.2 but it still doesnt work :(
any ideas folks? any help is much appreciated.

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. Any tips on how to do this?

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. I installed the current Bonjour printer services software on the Windows machine, and separately installed the driver software for the Epson printer on the WIndows machine. Running the bonjour wizard, I get an alert saying 'I don't have sufficient access to my computer to connect to the selected printer'.
The printer has 'sharing' turned on from the Mac end; this works with a Powerbook via the wireless connection. Sharing is also turned on in the Windows printer control panel for this printer (under properties). The Mac is a G5 running 10.5.8. When I try to print a page from the Windows machine it gets hung in the print queue.
Any advice how to proceed would be appreciated!

Having trouble setting up a linksys WRT54GS router with v...

Having trouble setting up a linksys WRT54GS router with verizon DSL using a westell 6100F modem. the modem works fine by its self but the router will not connect to the internet when installed like the cd tells you to.
online help and phone help has been less than helpful, anyone have any Ideas?

Ok I found " Installing the liksys wireless router with a westell 6100 modem" in the verizon troubleshooting guides. printed the instructions so I would'nt forget. step 1 open your web browser and enter http://192.168.1.1 in the address field. PROBLEM it comes up with a login screen that I don't know how to sign into. tried the obvious stuff. cannot get past the login screen. I knew this sounded to easy to be true. anyone have any ideas?

Will the Linksys WRT160N work with windows vista at all?

Will the Linksys WRT160N work with windows vista at all?
Some one please clear this up for me, it could be answered in the simplestterms from the English Language of course.
I've recently purchased the Linksys WRT160N however after purchase "of course"I manage to find reviews stating that the router will not work with the WindowsVista Premium, or windows Vista for that matter.
E.g.(Comments like These 'which are not my own')----------
"When I tried it with a new computer running Vista 64, it would install but the Linksys System Advisor would not. After 1 chat and 4 phone calls with support the system will still not run."
"It is a good product with XP, but if you use Vista 64 good luck. After several hours of working to get it running my patience and options have run out."
"It has taken almost a week for us to figure out that the Linksys Router, WRT160N from Best Buy does not workwith Vista Premium. I looked on-line to Linksys Website and discovered that the router, WRT160N is notsupported for Vista users. .."
E.g. (CommentContradicting to what has been said above)------
"Bought this to replace my outdated Linksys (new Vista laptop) and was blown away. Thisthing practically set itself up. It replaced the wired router and wireless routers I was using, asthe signal strength is awesome. I'm still pulling over 5meg ... "
So I guess one could see why I am confused, based on the 2 sidedcontradictions pertaining to this router actually working with windows vista ornot.
So can someone respond (preferable a Vista User) and tell me the truth as of towhat this router can an cannot do in terms of Vista? Thanks

It should work with vista without any issues if you are running any software on the computers (64 bit) from linksys it may not work but if you will connect that computer with an ethernet to the router it should work fine.
