Linksys wireless router + Airport Express

Hello Everybody,
I just installed the Linksys wireless router to share Internet and printer - works fine with my G5.
But - now I cannot see the airport station anymore which I used to transfer music to different rooms. If I start Airport exp. administration programm, it shuts down the wireless connection to the router.
So how to install now?
Thanks for help

Hard reset the Airport Express and configure it join your new Linksys wireless network.

IMac, Netgear wireless router & Airport express

I've recently purchase my first apple mac: a iMac G5 and would appreciate some help regarding my wireless set-up. In a nut shell...
I have netgear wireless ADSL router in one room (physically connected to a PC but that's not really relevant). The next nearest wireless 'thing' to this is my iMac. The iMac easily connected to my wireless network and works great.
In another room (nearer the iMac than the netgear router) is my airport express, which I want to stream music to from itunes on the iMac. It works, but is only just in range and the connection drops frequently (so is not suitable for playing music through).
My question really is, (without purchasing further kit - or moving the existing kit around), can the airport card in the iMac be used to extend the range of the network? (it seems to me as if the airport extreme is connecting through the netgear router that's further away rather than the iMac).
Or perhaps, is it possible for me to have the iMac simultaneously connected to 2 networks: 1 connecting it to the netgear router (and therefore the web and the windows PC), and a 2nd network just between the iMac and the airport express (to just steam music).
Any thoughts or help would be gratefully received...
PS
So far I've dead impressed with the iMac and the software too - it's a chore to come to work and have to use a windows box!)

Dan, Welcome to the discussion area!
...can the airport card in the iMac be used to extend the range of the network?
Sorry, but no that won't work.

No, the iMac can not simultaneously be the client of a wireless network and act as a server on a wireless network.

Phoneline - DSL Moden - Wireless Router - Airport Express

Is it possible? My DSL line runs into my modem which continues to a crappy D-Link wireless router. I then wire an outgoing ethernet cable from the D-Link to my Airport express. I can join the network but I can't get on the internet. Any suggestions?

Never mind, I found it all by myself.

Wireless router / airport express suggestion?

i just bought a macbook pro, and would like to know if anyone recommends the aiport express over the extreme. also, with its built-in wireless, do i even need one of these routers?

I hear a lot of problems with some third-party routers, so bought the AEBS when i got our first notebook in January. I also wanted the AEBS to support several wired Macs.
At this moment, the AEBS is providing excellent service to three wired Macs, an MBP, and a PowerBook G4, and supporting two networked printers. Performance has been perfect, and the two wireless machines can get a full signal anywhere in out largish house including downstairs (router is upstairs), on the front porch, and on the deck.
If you have more than one computer or need to network a printer, definitely consider the Airport Extreme Base Station.

Airport express using WPS to Linksys Wireless router?

I have a Linksys Wireless router set up to server wireless signal to macs and PCs in my office. It works great, but one of the far offices can't get enough signal.
I bought an airport express assuming I could use it as a repeater in this office.
I'm having some trouble connecting it (config goes great, then when i try and enable WPS mode - entering the current Linksys ID it just flashes orange after restart).
Any tips? Should this be possible?

Never found a solution to this.

I recently purchased an airport extreme base station. I want to replace my older linksys wireless router. I had a successful set up but can not get it to talk to broadband modem, I am missing something but what?

I recently purchased an airport extreme to replace my older linksys wireless router. had a successful set up but can not get connected to the internet. for some reason, which I am sure is apparent to others, i am missing some needed info to connect to the dsl broadband modem that I have. would love some good tips.

Try this:
Turn off or remove power from the DSL model, the router, and your computer. Wait not less than one minute. Restore power to the modem and wait until the status lights indicate a connection to the ISP. Next, restore power to the router and wait until the status light shows connection to the modem. Last, turn on the computer. Check your Network preferences to be sure they are configured for a DHCP connection and that the router has received a valid IP address (not 169.xxx.xxx.xxx).

Does the airport time capsule eliminate the need for my cisco linksys wireless router?

does the airport time capsule eliminate the need for my cisco linksys wireless router?

I understand that your network now looks like this:
Modem > Security Router > Cisco/Linksys router > Devices
If you do not want to use the Cisco/Linksys router and use a Time Capsule instead, then your network would look like this:
Modem > Security Router > Time Capsule > Devices

Linksys Wireless Router to Airport Extreme

Equipment:
- Linksys Wireless router connected via ethernet to iMac in Living room.
- G4 Powermac in sons bedroom
I have an Airport Extreme also. Can I connect this via ethernet to the G4 and broadcast wifi to the G4 from the Linksys router in the living room?

Welcome to the discussions!
What you are asking is if the Linksys can broadcast a wireless signal to the AirPort Extreme and then have the AirPort Extreme connect to the G4 using ethernet.
The short answer is "no". For more details, please read on.
This is not possible because the ethernet ports are not active on the AirPort Extreme in this type of configuration. The ethernet ports on the AirPort Extreme would only be active if the device were configured to "extend a wireless network".
But, the AirPort Extreme can only "extend a wireless network" from another Apple device as it is not compatible with the products of other manufacturers for this purpose.

More error -8 issues - Linksys BEFSR41 to Airport Express

Hey there, I hope you guys can help b/c I am having a heck of a time with this. I'm having Error-8 issues with my ichat AV 3.1 despite numerous changes. Here's the setup.
Motorola cable modem-->Linksys BEFSR41 wired router-->Airport Express and Vonage VOIP conected to router.

Main issues.... error -8 when trying to video or audio chat. Tested with appleu3test03= NO GO with Intel iMac but MBP works! Tried vid chat with brother and NEITHER WORK.
I cannot figure out what is going on but I think it is the router. Problems started when I switched to Linksys from netgear. Could it be that I need to just pony up and get an Airport Extreme so that I can utilize UPnP? Or am I missing something.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi,
I would renumber the devices radiating out from the router (192.168.1.1)
Airport 192.168.1.100
Computer one 192.168.1.101
Computer two 192.168.1.102
It's not a big thing but I prefer it in case the power goes off or things needs rebooting. And it points to the order of things
The Airport doing NO Distributing Addresses should allow UPnP to work. It's just a dumb Wireless Access Point now.
Otherwise if you are doing Port Forwarding it will be to only one Computer and only Text chatting will work on both due to the 443 port being below 1024(NAT)
If the Airport is not allowing UPnP then I would go for Port Triggering if your Linksys does it.
Some BEFS41 versions do. I have linked yo to the lowest version listed on the Port Forward site's Triggering pages.
Don't worry too much about the PC app they say you need.
Fill in the Trigger port at the top and without hitting enter scroll down to see how that effects the table.
Then set it up like this
This pic shows Port 5190 and the AV ports
You will need to add the Bonjour Ports (5297, 5298 and 5353) and Jabber ones (5220, 5222, 5223) as single lines like the port 5190
On My Linksys you did not have to specify Protocols. Nor do you on the link above.
As you have gone Static (router to Airport) you could try allowing the Airport to do Distributing Addresses as the Subnet problem will have been dealt with and the NAT issue will be more linear.
The Vonage device will have conflict on port 5060 (In fact 5060-5063) with iChat if In-Line between the computers and the Modem. Your set up suggests that this is not the case and it should not be an issue.
If by Brother you mean the other computer this will need the Bonjour Ports in both directions (5297, 5298 and 5353) to be able to work.
Strangely this still needs the port 5060 and does contact the SNATMAP server according to my Little Snitch hence the reason for UPnP or Port Triggering for your LAN.

Vonage - Linksys WRTP 54G - airport express

I have tried a bunch of things but to no avail.....
cable modem > vonage/linksys WRTP 54G ------ wireless (2) airport express
Can someone help with a step by step set up so that the airport express's will acutally carry the signal from the linksys router. I get the green light and can even print to the AE, but my internet signal is not being carried through, since I can't hook up an ethernet cable to a remote AE and surf the net?
Please help, I am about ready to see how far I can throw these AE things, probably pretty far since I can get a good grip on them.
Thanks in advance

I believe that this is not possible.
In other words it doesn't support WDS.

Macbook causes Linksys wireless router to crash

My daughters Macbook causes the Linksys wireless router to crash. I've already loaded the latest Linksys firmware but it did not help. It's the only computer that causes the router to crash. I have used several other non-Apple systems on the network without any problems.
I think it's something that the Macbook is transmitting out but haven't pinpointed what it is and how to fix it.
Any ideas on how to get her Macbook to work on our network wirelessly?

Can't connect PB G4 to linksys wireless router when 64bit is established

Hello-
I have my PB G4 connected (wirelessly) to a linksys wireless router WRTP54G. If I don't have security set on the router, the PB connects. Once I add the security (64bit) and enter the password, the message "There was an error joining the AirPort network” comes up and I can’t connect. I've connected my other laptop to the network (a PC).
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you in advance.

Does your router support any other form of encryption? See if this KB article makes any sense to you.
AirPort: Joining an encrypted wireless network
Personally, I have a sneaky suspicion it has to do with the way your ASCII/hexadecimal password is or isn't being converted to something recognisable by the router. I use a Linksys router at home with a hexadecimal password generated from an ASCII passphrase, and that seems to work fine.

I can't print wirelessly using Airport Express. I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not.

I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not. I've tried several USB connectors, and several different ports on my USB hub; same result. I need to have the HP connected to the hub 'cause from there it's connected to our desktop Mac.

Hi,
I am currently replying to this as it shows in the iChat Community.
I have asked the Hosts to move it to Snow Leopard (you should not lose contact with it through any email links you get)
I also don't do Wirelss printing so I can't actaully help either.

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!
thx,

My iPad will no longer connect to my Linksys wireless router. Every other electronic device in our house connects just fine. What can I do?

I have an iPad (the earliest version) that used to connect to my Linksys wireless router with no difficulty. One night recently I could not get on the internet through my iPad. I checked the Wi-Fi information, which said it was not connected.When I go through the process of choosing a network, on which my home system is clearly listed along with a very strong signal strength, I am told that my iPad is unable to join my own network. All the other electronic devices in our house are connected and functioning fine. Can anyone walk me through the steps to correct this problem?
I need to add that I took my iPad to the Appple store, and the clerk there reset something--I don't know what--and my iPad was able to connect to their network. When I came home, though, I was not able to connect to my home network.

If everything else is connecting with no issues, I would go into the wifi setting on the iPad and redo the info there, user, password and anything else related to your wifi at your house.
It is possible whatever he reset may have reset something to default setting which will not allow it to connect. If you need too then verify the wifi setting by comparing it with another device setting that works on your home network.
Good luck
