Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter with SpeedBooster

Anyone get the Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter with SpeedBooster WPC54GS to work with their Mac?
Mac OS X (10.4.8) iLife 6

Yes. I have Linksys WPC54GS version 1.1 (with the Broadcom chipset) running OS 10.3.9. I believe version 2.0 also uses the Broadcom chipset, but I do not know if that is the same for version 2.1.
BTW: I originally used a Linksys wireless router but a year ago changed to the Belkin Pre-N Router F5D8230-4.

Linksys Wireless-G PCI Adapter w/Speedb or Linksys Wireless-G USB Network A

I am currently using a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband router on my G4. The PC in the house is using a Wireless-G PCI Adapter w/Speedbooster. Both machines connect to the internet without issue.
I am adding a new G5 to the mix. I plan on using the router on the G5. I plan on purchasing a wireless adapter/card for the G4. Will the Linksys Wireless-G PCI adapter work on a Mac G4? How about the Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter? How about other manufacturers products?
Any assistance will be appreciated. I will need to move work files from the G4 to the G5 ASAP.
Thanks.
G5 2.3GHz & G4 355 MHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi there
Before thinking about wireless cards for the Mac (a minefield!) you can hook your G4 up to the G5 using Target Disk Mode. See this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
You can then transfer what you need from the G4 to the G5 even before the G4 is back on your network.
As for wireless cards, here is a list of supposedly compatible cards:
http://home.earthlink.net/~metaphyzx/Wireless.htm
However, approach with caution as manufacturers change the chips on these cards without warning. If you can't get hold of an original airport card, then the safest bet would be to go for a Sonnet Aria Extreme, made by a company that specialises in Mac products (I have no affiliation by the way). It's not the cheapest wireless PCI card out there but it is one of the few guaranteed to work with a Mac. Hope this helps.

LinkSys Wireless-N USB Adapter

I just purchased a LinkSys Wireless-N USB Adapter (WUSB300N), and I was wondering how to get it to work with Mac OS X 10.4.10? I have searched the LinkSys site and Google for drivers for this product, but none have been made. I was also wondering, if my product does not work with Mac, if there is any other wireless USB adapter that is compatible with Mac OS X?

If it needs to be USDB, this is the only one I found...

Problems with 3 Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster

I bought 3 Wireless-G Broadband Routers with speedboost.
They all had problems. After buying a second one, I figured the first one had a defect. Then I had more problems. Is this just more bad luck? Then I bought the third one, and still had problems, especially with the program it had me install on the pcs I had at home. It just wouldn't keep a connection. Then, most of the time I had to restart the router.. Shame, I thought to myself... I wondered if linksys knew about this router and its problems.. I even tried to upgrade the firmware, and it only had problems after that on one of the routers. I just got a complaint from one of my friends about the router. I had a feeling I knew what it was once she told me the problem it had. Then I asked her the type a router it was. "Linksys" she told me and I told her my story with 3 bad routers. . It was weird..
Oh, well, hopefully linksys will look it up and see what is up with the product. Buying the 3 same routers and them not working was a little weird. At least it wasn't working the way it should have.
That is all from me.. I know this is a serious post, so reply all that want to.

What you want to do is set up your wireless security. The routers setup page
(192.168.1.1) can only be accessed IF someone can get on your wireless network first. Of course, you want to change this password to something other than 'admin' anyway. This you can do by accessing the administration tab in the setup pages of the router by going here to see how it is done.
Now, you want to secure your wireless network by going here.

Can't find Network using a Linksys WUSB54G Wireless-G USB Adapter with a linksys WRT150N router????

Hello.....I just recently bought a linksys WRT150N router and am having problems connecting a computer that uses a Linksys WUSB54G Wireless-G USB Adapter. This computer's operating system is windows 2000 and it cannot find the network I setup.....Even when I double checked that the router was in mixed mode.....Can anybody help?

I am having a similar problem with my WUSB54GC adapter connecting to my WRT54G router 100 feet away with only a single stud wall in between. Sometimes the computer connects automatically and sometimes I have to restart windows or use the repair connection wizard to get the computer to connect. Using Windows XP and Mixed infrastructure network with SSID broadcasting disabled.

Linksys wireless router G problem with ASUS Eee PC 1000H laptop

This is a new laptop with a Ralink rt2860 chipset. Problem: I have trouble connecting to the router at my office. When I can connect, I often get such a low connection speed that the signal drops out and I lose the connection entirely. I have no trouble connecting to other routers. ASUS tech support says this is not a problem with the laptop. The rep told me that some "older" routers have a problem recognizing the Ralink chipset. Logically, if I can connect but it drops out, does this indicate a need for a signal booster? Does anyone know about any related compatibility issues? Thanks for any help; this is driving me nutty!

I know just enough to be dangerous. How is the change the channel on the router changed? Sounds like a system administrator job...

Problems with Wireless Router and Adapter

I tried posting this in the wireless adapter forum but nobody responded :-(
I'm using a WRT54G Router btw, and the firmware is v2.02.7, Feb. 27, 2004.
Hi everyone,
I have a Linksys Wireless G Router and several computers that I try to connect with. One of them is a computer running Windows XP and using a Linksys Wireless USB B Adapter (WUSB11). Another is a laptop running Mandriva Linux using a Linksys Instant Wireless Network PC Card (WPC11). Another one is running Windows Vista and using a Linksys Wireless N card. I also have a laptop running Windows XP using a Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter (WPC54G). I also have another PC running Windows XP and uses a Linksys Wireless USB Adapter WUSB54G. Finally, I have two macintosh laptops running OSX and with airport devices installed.
Anyway, I have problems with my internet connection frequently being interrupted and even sometimes I won't have a connection at all for hours. This occurs with my Linux laptop, the PC with the Wireless B Adapter, and the laptop using the Wireless G Notebook Adapter. In addition to this, the macintosh laptops have internet even more infrequently. However, I seem to never have a problem with the Windows Vista desktop or the Windows XP desktop that has the Wireless G adapter. I try repairing the connection and often it does not work. I have also tried resetting the router and the cable modem. I'm not sure what else I can do. I even bought a Wireless N router and had little success with that. We even went as far as moving the wireless router upstairs into our living room, thinking that the signal was somehow suffering from interference or that distance was a factor. Anyway, sorry for the long post but I could really use some help!
Thanks.

Hi… logon to wireless N router’s setup page, open I.E. an in the address bar type 192.168.1.1 it would ask for username and password, put "admin" as a paassword (default password) without any username...linksys setup pops up, click on on wireless tab and and try changing radio band to wide 40MHz, wide channel to 9 and wireless standard channel to 1 or 11, go to advanced wireless settings reduce beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304, change N Transmission rate to 270 MBps…also try upgrading latest firmware on router, check whether it makes any difference or not and let me know.

Linksys Wireless-G BR W/ SpdBooster (WRT54GS-CA) questions

Hi, I'm thinking of purchasing a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router With SpeedBooster (WRT54GS-CA).
Does it have url/domain filters? I know it has Parental Controls but I'm not interested in purchasing that service or using PC. I'd like to have url/domain filters as a free service.
What other Linksys wireless routers have url filters and Quality of Service components?

The WRT54GS have a Website Blocking by URL Address, and Website blocking by Keyword; and it also have a QoS.

WRT54GS with SpeedBooster MAJOR ISSUES!

I purchased and used a Linksys WRT54GS Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster back in January of 2006 for my small apartment in Manhattan. My roommate and I had no problems with the router at the time, and we were happy with its performance. I left Manhattan last April, and moved into a home in Boston. I left my roommate our router, and purchased the same model router for my home in Boston. I use both a desktop PC and windows laptop in my new home. I have had problems with my WRT54GS speedbooster router from the start. Mainly, an inconsistent connection. I find myself unplugging and replugging the router 3 - 4 times a week to reconnect my internet connection regarding my desktop. As if that weren't enough, I have had major headaches with the internet connection on my wifi laptop. My laptop is 2 years old, running on a G network, and often times I will either have no or limited connection in my bedroom where I do work on my laptop (my bedroom is probably 30/40 feet away from where the router sits, on a higher floor). I've read numerous gripes online, whether it be an article or customer reviews, regarding this specific model router and consumer issues with it. Can anybody help? I really am on the verge of purchasing a non-Linksys G router with hopes to have a CONSISTENT internet connection. Thanks.

I downloaded the Easylink Firmware tool. To upgrade the firmware, I was prompted to plug the ethernet cable (from the back of my wired computer) into the laptop itself, with the other end already in "port 1". Well, the router never recognized the ethernet cable in port 1, so when i clicked to proceed forward, the router was not recognized, nothing happened, and I have the same problem. I vaguely remember now when I first got the router, I went through the necessary steps with the router and the PC, did everything fine. Then I just started up my laptop, it recognized the network created on my PC, and I just used the internet on my laptop that way. However I have always received the following message when starting up my laptop: "Duplicate name exists on the network". I usually just X out of it, and proceed forward. So my question is, did the actions listed above create my current problem? Why isn't my router recognizing the ethernet cable plugged into it from the laptop? Also, is there any way to test if the issues stems with my network adapter in my laptop???

Should I get a Time Capsule, an Airport Extreme, or a Linksys Wireless N?

Hi I have several questions before I make my purchase. I've got 2 computers in my upstairs bedroom that are wireless. I currently have a Wireless router which is a Linksys WRT54G.
It's already getting on in age so I was thinking of replacing it with a better wireless router. I'm deciding weather I should go with a Linksys N or go the apple route.
Will I get faster internet if I go with a Linksys Wireless N? What is the difference between G and N?
I was thinking of getting a Time Capsule because I wanted an automatic backup of my data.
Is a time capsule going to perform the same as a Linksys? Which router is better?
what is the difference between Time Capsule and Airport extreme. Are they basically the same with the only difference being the hardrive?
If I get a Time Capsule then do I still need a Linksys router? Is it easy to setup a wireless network using a Time Capsule or Airport Extreme?
Last question. My mom's computer upstairs uses a Linksys Wireless G usb adapter. It is also getting on in age.
The connection is always labeled as low and sometimes she can't go on the internet. What would be a much better wireless adapter for my mom's computer?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Enough of a difference for it to be worthwhile.
I was thinking of getting a Time Capsule because I wanted an automatic backup of my data.
The backup app is Time Machine, not Time Capsule. TM can work with any external HDD connected to the Mac, but only TC is officially supported for wireless backups by Apple. Hacks are possible to connect a USB HDD to an Extreme.
Is a time capsule going to perform the same as a Linksys? Which router is better?
Better if we are talking N vs. G.
what is the difference between Time Capsule and Airport extreme. Are they basically the same with the only difference being the hardrive?
Yes, but that is a significant difference.
If I get a Time Capsule then do I still need a Linksys router?
No.

If you can setup your Linksys, you should be able to setup the AirPort as well.

Sorry, none off the top of my head. Maybe you can provide the details on the computer she has.

BEFSR41 fed from SPA2102 VoIP Phone Adapter with Router

urrently, a broadband cable modem is connected to the input of a new BEFSR41 4-port router. The router feeds 4 computers (a newer "primary" PC, and 3 secondary "old goats" that I use to print online grocery coupons). The 4 PC's are networked to share a common printer, a single directory on the "primary" PC, and using a 4-port KVM switch - I switch a single keyboard and mouse to whichever PC that I am using at the time.
I want to purchase a Linksys SPA2102 VoIP Phone Adapter with Router and integrate it into my existing system (noted above). This is probably a no-brainier for some, but I am new to routers and VoIP and that is why I am posting here, before buying the SPA2102.
According to the SPA2102 instruction manual that I downloaded from the Cisco website, there are two RJ45 connectors, one YELLOW and the other BLUE with the following typical connection configurations:
YELLOW . . . Connect one end of an Ethernet network cable (included) to the ETHERNET port of the Phone Adapter. Connect the other end to the Ethernet port of your PC.
BLUE . . . Connect one end of a different Ethernet network cable to the INTERNET port of the Phone Adapter. Connect the other end to your cable/DSL modem.
What I would like to do is, hopefully, simple and effective. I want to connect my cable modem to the SPA2102's BLUE connector, and from its YELLOW connector connect to the BEFSR41's input. Will this work, ensuring both the BEFSR41 and SPA2102 function properly?
Thank you.
CurlySue

if you have access to the device and it is not remotely provisioned by the VOIP company. try to change the registration expires to a 24 hour time period as well as well as the Resync Periodic: in the provisioning tab to 24 hours as well.

Linksys wireless n wrt300n

The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

Problems with Linksys Wireless-B Adapter

I was wondering if anyone had any problems setting up a wireless network using their MSI Neo2 Platinum. I currently have a linksys wireless adapter connected to mine, and there is no wireless signal being received by the adapter. The adapter is getting power, and is detected by XP, but there is no signal. I tried moving the computer closer to the router, but to no avail. I currently have the PCI card connected to the network PCI slot, but before I had it in one of the others. Made no difference really.
I called linksys and that didn't work. The same card works in a biostar board that my sister's computer has, and works perfectly there. I can't seem to find the problem so now I'm going to go ahead and blame it on this wonderous motherboard :P. System specs if you need it:
Processor: FX-55
Motherboard: MSI Neo2 Platinum
Memory: Corsair TwinX1024 PC3200
Hard Drives: 2 Seagate Barracuda's 120 GB (each) SATA
What's wrong?! Thx in advance for the help.

My son hooked up a Linksys 2.4 GHz Broadband Router to my Yahoo DSL modem. My Mac computer operates on OS 10.2.8 and my son's computer is a PC laptop. Everything was working fine until I my desktop screen went blank. I reinstalled everything and attempted to install Yahoo DSL. While I could not operate DSL on my Mac, my son was able to use the internet on his PC laptop. I disconnected the router and reloaded Yahoo DSL software and it works, but my son can't use the internet now. Recently Microsoft discontinued support Internet Explorer (IE) for Mac computers. Do you think I need to re-install IE on my computer even though I don't use it? When I installed Yahoo DSL, the Yahoo DSL icon never reappeared. All I do now is click on Firefox, Netscape, or Safari to get on the internet.
