Linksys WET54G problem

Hi,
I have a problem with my Linksys WET54G ethernet bridge.
Every time I set it up and then try and use it I don't get a connection.
This is my setup
iMac Snow G3 600MHz running OSX 10.2.8 connected via ethernet to
Linksys WET54G ethernet bridge which connects to
BT Voyager 2091 wireless modem router.
I can set the network connection preferences so I can get to the Linksys WET54G setup page and can see my wireless network.
When I close that browser and then change the network connection preferences to set the IP address using DHCP then I can't connect.
The Mac keeps assigning itself an IP address.
The WET54G does work OK - I'm writing this using a Win2000 PC connected to it.
Why does the iMac assign itself an IP address instead of using one from the modem/router?
Any help appreciated.
Regards
Jeremy Young

Hi,
Well here I am replying to my own post, just in case it help someone else in the future
I did get this combo to work:
I used a static IP address in the WET54 - something like 192.168.1.60
Then I use a static IP address in the Mac - something like 192.168.1.65
I also added the router IP address as the gateway - 192.168.1.1
And finally I added the DNS server from my router - I found this by going to the router setup and selecting manual DNS - and copying the numbers there.
Now everything is OK and I can surf without wires!

    Hi,
    Since I upgraded the Remote software to version 1.3.3 (4) it seems that when I'm browsing the music Library of my Apple TV, I can click on any artist and or album. So far so good, but after selecting, the tracktitle is shown on top of the screen, but the track is not loaded and cannot be played.
    If I unplug my Apple TV then it works again, but after browsing and changing tracks 1 or 2 times, the bug occurs again.
    Martijn I've read your the post and tried to delete the songs/artists that have the word 'Edit' in it, re-synchronized the apple TV with my iTunes Library, but no luck for me.

  • Linksys connection problem

    I have a linksys WRT54G wireless router. I use it for my macbook and two other imacs at home. The internet speed (i mean the time it takes to load a web page) is so much slower on my macbook than on my imacs. I think it is a configuration problem. I typed in the router on my web browser and tried to secure my network (WEP). I typed in a password and clicked generate, and i was given a really long sequence of numbers and letters. Now, i dont know what my password is. Is it what i typed in, or the number generated? I am using another open wireless network because linksys is so slow. but now, I can't even switch to linksys! I've tried numerous times. When asked for the password I typed in both the password I provided and the one I was given. I get the message "error joining the airport network linksys." I opened system preferences and under airport settings, then security, I changed it from WEP to none to see if that would make linksys once again an open wireless network. That didnt work. So now I dont know what to do and why I can't even connect to linksys anymore.

    I connected an ethernet cable to my macbook and the router and I was able to connect to linksys and change my settings. But there is just something wrong with my router. For the past two days I have not been able to connect to linksys and sometimes linksys does not even appear on the list of networks. The settings appear to be normal, so I don't know whats wrong now.

  • Cisco Ap1242 with Linksys Wet54g ethernet bridge

    Hi to all!
    Can i use any ascii key as wpa2-psk?
    When i try to use some ascii keys the linksys bridge does not authenticate with the Ap. Reading the Ap log it says "authentication failed".
    What could it be the problem? (they both have the same PSK (ascii)).
    Why's that?
    Is there any incompatibility with some ascii characters between this two devices?
    e.g. [email protected]#793mFj#,sd@com
    Thanks in advance

    I think that is not a configuration problem. Without any security policy (wep, wpa) i can connect to the Ap.
    Anyway, if i put a simple key (for example: 12345678) i can connecto to the ap. The problem is when i configure the psk with some ascii characters (for example: @#).
    thanks for your help.

  • Linksys WRT54GX4 Problem

    Hey guys,
    i recently just bought a new Wireless router the "Linksys WRT54GX4" and the "Linksys WMP54GR" for my desktop PC.
    My problem is that it works sometimes and sometimes it just breaks down on me. My computer can "see" that there is a wireless network with a "very good" range, but I can't associate with the access point ( sometimes I can associate with the access point, but can't connect to the internet). I changed the channel from 6 to 11, since I read that channel 6 has trouble sometimes. I always have to push the reset button on the router to get back on the internet.
    And by the way, do I have any advantage from the SRX400 with the WMP54GR? I was going to get the WMP54GX4, but for some reason I didn't.
    So, can anyone help me? I mean, if the internet is working, it works just fine, range is amazing with 4 bars and the speed is fine, too.
    If you guys need more information just ask me
    Thank you guys for your help.
    Best regards,
    Martin

  • Linksys+Mac: Problem!

    Hello everyone. As of now, I am very frustrated with my Mac mini and am even thinking about returning it. Here is what is going on:
    - I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 v2 "base-station".
    - Every PC in my house, laptop or desktop, can connect to the Linksys without any problems at all.
    - I need my Mac to connect to the base-station via the built in Airport card. It will either do one of the following:
    - I will go to Network Status and Airport will have an amber light next to it, saying the base-station won't send it an IP address.
    - In Network Status, Airport will have a green light next to it, saying it can connect and access the internet. However, it will load pages extremely slowly, or it will just drop the network connection.
    I have disabled all security on my Linksys base-station. I have cable internet. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks,
    Vikram

    I have encounted this problem before. What I did is change the channel on the router and it fixed my problem. There could be interferance with say a wireless phone etc. So try that first to see if it works. Most wireless routers default to channel 6.

  • Airport Express and Linksys Router Problem

    I have a Linksys wireless router through which I connect to the internet using my Macbook Pro without any difficulties. I recently purchased an Airport Express unit in order to connect to my stereo and play music using Itunes. However, I seem to be unable to set up the Airport Express as the Airpor Utility does not seem to be able to find it. I tried connecting it to the router using an ethernet cable and this did not seem to solve the problem? Does anyone have any recommendations to solve this problem?

    Thank you for the suggestion. That allowed me to see it to configure it but once I disconnect it to restart it I the network cannot find it and it just blinks orange. I am guessing that it is because I have set the network security incorrectly. I set it at WEP 128. How do I check to see how the Linksys is configured? Or do you think it might be something else? Thank you.

  • Linksys ea6400 problem

    hello, i have an ea6400 linksys router. i am losing signal strength in my downstairs bedroom.which is right below my office where i have the router hooked into the modem. how can i get a consistent signal to my downstairs bedroom.thank you, harvey10ps same problem 2with my cell,only 2 bars and then one bar

    Changing the router's wireless channel and relocating it at the central part of your house will help avoid possible interference in your network. Download the Wi-Fi analyzer app. It helps you to find a less crowded channel for your wireless router. If the connection will not improve, you may need to upgrade or reflash the router's firmware. Don't forget to reset and reconfigure it afterwards. 

  • Linksys WET610N problem

    Hi,
    At home I am using the linksys wireless bridge WET610N to stream media to my livingroom. The setup looks like server <-> Linksys E4200 <-> WET610N. If I connect my laptop to the WET610N i get a speed close to 100Mbit/s. With this speed I can easily view HD movies, by playing them on my laptop. So far so good...
    But if I instead connect my Popcorn Hour A-100 (a media player) , to the WET610N (instead of the laptop) I get really poor performance. just a few Mbit/s, which is not enough.
    So my question is, why is the following setup working fine:
    server <-> Linksys E4200 <-> WET610N <-> Laptop
    When at the same time the following setup is working poorly:
    server <-> Linksys E4200 <-> WET610N <-> Popcorn Hour
    The WLAN connection between the Linksys E4200 and Linksys WET610N seems to be fine. The problem I am having seems to be the Ethernet connection/setup between the WET610N and the Popcorn Hour media player. Any ideas of what the problem can be?
    /Best regards, Jens

    Well in this concern if can forward the port for Popcorn Hour A-100... And inorder to that open the Router setup page and click on Application and gaming tab... Then click on the Port Range Forward subtab there forward the following port and provide the IP address of Popcorn Hour A-100....
    Port No. - 51413
    Then check the connectivity.....

  • Linksys WRT320N Problems. Keep losing speed day after day

    Hello,
    I have a nasty problem and I absolutly got no clue on how to fix it.
     A couple of days ago I installed my new WRT320N router in combination with 50mbit speed from Ziggo (netherland internet provider)
    At day one speedtest.net always gives 47/48 mbit down and 5 mbit up.
    But after a few days the router keeps dropping and dropping and dropping till about 2mbit.
    Now I've resetted the router and also rebooted the modem for new software etc but still nothing works.
    Ive also tried to reset the router to Fabricage settings and that worked .... until it went lower day after day.
    I also took some tips from this forum which was MTU setting to 1350 on manually instead of 1500 automatic and that worked... until some days passed and again ive got 10mbit today.
    I'm clueless and in desperate need of your help!
    What setting keeps dropping my router speed from 50mbit to almost zero in a couple of days each time?
    Thank you in advance!
    Rens Voeten
    Edit Each time i switch the MTU to 1500 and then again to 1350 makes the speedtest.net meter jump up to 50mbit again like crazy.
    But if i want to leave it, it will decrease again day after day.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Login into the Linksys setup page and Click on Subtab Advanced Wireless Settings under Wireless tab...Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    If the above settings doesn't works then try to reflash/upgrade the firmware of the router.Download the firmware from www.linksys.com/downloads and save it on the desktop.Now go to the linksys GUI and click on the Administrator tab and then subtab "firmware upgrade" to upgrade the firmware.

  • Linksys router, problems with SNMP

    Hello,
    We have several Linksys RVL200  routers out in the field. They work fine except now we want to enable SNMP to  monitor bandwidth usage with PRTG Network Monitor. I’m having a problem with a few of these getting SNMP  to work properly.
    I’ve configured all the devices  exactly the same, however some of them will not display the Ethernet sensors to  monitor bandwidth properly.
    I believe we have the latest  firmware installed (v1.1.7).
    I’ve done some onsite testing with  an SNMP tester and the results are the same.
    Do you have any suggestions on how I  can proceed?
    Thank  you,
    John

    Do you have problems with web browsing or other online applications? If not, the problem may lie with the games themselves. It's possible the games require ports to be forwarded to work correctly. Check the game documentation and see if this is the case.

    Whenever my housemate and I play Starcraft Brood War online (Both connected to the router), it is fine with just two of us in the same game. However, when BOTH of us play with people using outside internet (in the same game), there is severe lag. But if it's only ONE of us in the game, the lag clears up.

    as the setup page is not coming up, it could be a firmware issue....so go to www.linksys.com/download and download the latest firmware file and save it on the computer...
    then go to ftp.linksys.com/pub/network and save the tftp.exe file...run this file...
    here , the server is the router's ip add , password is router's password and then browse the firmware file and click upgrade....
    after upgrade , reset the router for 30 seconds and reconfigure

  • Linksys SRW224G4 - problem with WebView

    Hello !
    I've bought a Linksys SRW224G4 switch and I have a problem with webview management. I can't use this feature because when I try to open web page, I see "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" message. One way to solving this problem is reboot of whole switch, but after some minutes from start to mgmt via web, problem occurs again.
    I've read in internet, this problem is known and it's connected to version of IE, it must be 5.5 or 6, not higher. But these information are old (2007, 2008) and I can't believe that this problem is not been solved yet. I'm using IE v.7.0.5730.13
    Can You help me?
    Some information of my switch:
    Boot Version: 1.0.2 (Date: 17-Aug-2006, Time: 14:55:46)
    Software Version: 1.2.2b (Date: 20-Mar-2007, Time: 11:44:49)
    Hardware Version: 00.03.00
    And "SRW224G4 v1.1 business series" information on front pannel.
    BR
    J.

    You're correct, it requires to use IE version 5 or higher to access
    the web interface of the switch. To further isolate the problem, you may try
    different computer also. If you're getting the same problem, you may consider
    updating the firmware of the switch. Thanks.
