Linksys WRT120N - Configuring as a repeater

Hi,
I have with me 2 routers, one of which is a Linksys WRT120N.
I wish to configure the Linksys such that it can be used as a repeater.
Could someone help me out with the know how ??
Regards,
Vyas

No. Linksys wireless routers don't operate as router only as access point. You must run a wired connection between your routers to use it as access point.

I am having trouble getting my work computer to connect wireless to my home router. I was told it was because my work computer is set to "dynamic" and my home router is probably set to "static"... how to I set my home router (Linksys WRT120N) to "dynamic"? I'm Dumb Dora when it comes to this so specific step-by-step directions would be appreciated.

How to setup Linksys WRT120N for a dialup connection?

I have a Linksys WRT120N wireless router. There is NO broadband modem connected to it. There is only a dialup modem inside the desktop computer.
Windows XP SP3 is sensing that there is an always on connection to the internet with the Linksys WRT120N
Question: How to I configure the Linksys WRT120N for a dialup connection?
Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Update
The DHCP Server "disabled" setting doesn't stick, it returns to "enable" when returning to the configuartion settings tab, for whatever reason.
Anyway, everything else seems to be there, including the "MSHOME" for networking; but STILL doesn't recognize dialup as default connection.
Here's an example of what I'm seeing:
When a time sync program is run automatically at startup, before the Linksys router was added, it would WAIT for dialup connection to be made BEFORE syncing the time.
After Linksys router was added to the computer, the time sync program, when starting with windows, will NOT WAIT for a dialup connection to be made, it will attempt to sync with NO DIALUP CONNECTION being made.
A temporary fix has been to go to Local Area Connection (the Linksys router connection), right-click and uncheck Internet Protocol (which will also uncheck client for microsoft networks and file and printer sharing).
I've manually reset Linksys router back to factory defaults and waiting for any help.
The USB Adapter has not been configured to work with the computer that will be networked. Currently, I plugged it into the computer with the Linksys router to quickly give you all the information I have for the ipconfig /all
(The networked computer will not always be used. What prompted my post, is that first, what I am really after is trying to fix this problem with the time sync program seeing the internet connection as "on" when a dialup connection has not yet been made. Then, I'll focus on the second computer networking.)
As you requested here's the ipconfig /all info:

How to connect linksys wrt120n with ubee modem+router on twc.

Hi,
I have a twc connection with a ubee modem+router, it keeps on dropping connection all the time, i googled about it and came to know that if we just use the ubee device as a modem and install our own router along with it, it works fine. I have a linksys wrt120n and i tried installing it but it is not working, the internet is not working. When i try to do it with the CD, it hangs up in between and i tried manually but i am missing something in the settings may be.
Help anyone?
Mukul

If you ubee modem router is set to bridge mode then there will be no wifi signal. If you still have a wifi signal, you need to call your ISP and have them verify it is in bridge mode.

Username & Password for linksys WRT120N

Hi,
I am trying to figure out my WEP code to use to connect to XBOX LIVE. To log on to my internet we just have a WPA-Personal I think, so I have been trying to sign into my router to hopefully obtain my WEP key there, but cannot sign in. I have tried every combination of usernames and passwords such as:
[none] admin
admin admin
[none] [none]
n/a ... and more but nothing works.
Please help. Thanks
Ryan

You can actually retrieve the network key using a wireless computer that is already connected to the network.
If you are using a windows 7 computer:
1. Left click the wireless signal icon on the system tray to open up list of wireless networks.
2. Right click on the name of your network and click "Properties"
3. Under the "Security" tab, put a check mark on "Show Characters". It will display the code you need to connect your XBOX.
If you are using windows vista:
1. Go to Control Panel-->Network and Sharing Center
2. Click on Manage Wireless Networks
3. Under "Networks that you can view and modify, Right click on the Network and click on Properties. It is going to show the wireless network key after clicking display characters on the Security Key box.
If you do not have a wireless computer that is connected then reset the router and just reconfigure the wireless settings after.
Take note: If you reset the router it will set everything to factory defaults. You need to reconfigure the router to work again. The following link will show you how to do proper reset for your router.

Linksys WRT120N Keeps disconnecting

Greetings everyone!
Well, my problem is that my Cisco Linksys WRT120N router keeps disconnecting, my family and me are all using the wireless connection. But sometimes the router just disconnect us all, its like its restarting, it only close down for like 5 - 10 secounds and then its back on. Sometimes it does it like every secound hour and sometimes it does it 3 times in 10 min. I usually play games on it and even tho I am the only one using it, it still disconnects.
We got 2 wireless cameras running on a secound router that is merged (Thats what the nerd that setted it up for us told me) with the primary existing router. I am not really that good at computer I just dont want to get disconnected all the time.
Have a really good weekend and take care!

Hi there,
If this is true on both wired and wireless connection, isolate the concern by connecting your computer to the modem directly. Observe the connection while connected to the modem. If the connection is unstable behind the modem, you need to contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to fix the issue. If the connection is fine on the modem, reset and reconfigure the router. If the problem is present only on the wireless connection, you can reconfigure the wireless settings. Change the channel width to 20 MHz only and select channel 1, 6 or 11 to avoid wireless interference. Also make sure the router is on a higher and open location. By the way, it would help if the router’s firmware is up to date.

I have to capture wifi from my original router to my newone linksys wrt120n? HOW?

I have a router and it sends to me internet. Its possible capture That wifi and retransmit from wrt120n?

Yes, it is possible to use the WRT120N router to access the internet. The configuration will differ depending on how you are going to connect the WRT120N router. If you will replace your old router with the WRT120N, you only need to remove the old router and configure the WRT120N to work with your ISP.
If your ISP is Cable, use this link: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=80&app=vw&vw=1&login=1&json=1&docid=0ff4c94586a345d082828...
If your ISP is DSL: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=80&app=vw&vw=1&login=1&json=1&docid=20ee1457387f40178cd5f...
If you want the WRT120N to extend the wireless network of your old router, it will be possible provided that the WRT120N router is connected hardwired to your main router. For the steps, refer to this link: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=785463d9ecaf4cac84aed245b08d615f_3733.xml&pid=80&r...

Linksys WRT1900AC with Wi-Fi repeater

I want to use Linksys WRT1900AC as my main router. In another more distant place in my home, i have a weak Wi-Fi signal. I don't have an option to have an Ethernet cable there, so i want to use another device as Wi-Fi repeater. That Wi-Fi repeater will use it's local Ethernet ports for a single device in that location (IP security Camera).
All the repeaters that i found, are expensive:
Linksys WUMC710
Linksys RE2000
Linksys WAP300N
Any recommendation for a router from different brand or any other device from Linksys that could do the job?
I rather stay with Linksys brand in order to achieve (hopefully) better stability.

sabretooth,
There are many cheap routers that can act as Wi-Fi extenders, such as the Edimax BR-6428nS ($30 via amazon). That way i get fully functional router and cheaper price.
I rather have Linksys model so i could keep all network equipment with the same brand and in order to avoid pairing issues, but not if I have to pay more and get less flexibility.

Linksys router configuration

OK, first off, I swear I'm not an idiot. I had my linksys router working fine and for reasons that will go undisclosed (because they may fly in the face of my "I'm not an idiot" statement) I reset my router and modem and needed to set everything up again. I got the modem (DSL) reconfigured and functional but I cannot for the life of me get the router functioning again. (I called linksys and they said they couldn't talk to me unless I paid them $45 to buy a support program)
I know for sure that I have the cables connected properly (DSL to modem, modem to 'internet' port on router, router port1 out to computer)
I have gone to 192.168.1.1 and configured the router several times based on two or three different websites. This has included setting the router name and setting the SSID and saving settings within the configuration module any time I did anything.
I've also gone into System Prefs/Network and done some stuff in there. The current settings are:
IP Address: 192.168.1.46
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.1.1
DNS Server: 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.1
Under "Advanced" I've got the TCP/IP tab with:
Configure IPv4 Using DHCP (grey out pulled down menu)
IPv4 Address 192.168.1.46
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.1.1
Last night when I was working with directions from the linksys website I had the router address set to 192.168.1.2 also.
I would be THRILLLLEDD if anyone could help me.
Thanks so much.
Peter Booth

what about the settings between the modem and the router?
If your modem is a router (and it is not in bridge mode) then you will have to set the IP address
accordingly. Say the modem IP is 192.168.0.1 (on the lan side, then your settings on the router
(on the wan side) would be something like 192.168.0.2 for IP, DNS 192.168.0.1, Gateway
192.168.0.1, mask 255.255.255.0.
If your modem is not a router (or is stuck in bridge mode), then your router (on the wan side)
will be your IP's settings. You will have to use DHCP unless you have a static IP.
I had the same problem a while back, and what happened was my modem/router got hung in
bridge mode after I reset it trying to get it to work (via my IP's tech support instructions) when
I upgraded my DSL speed. My tech guy told me to return the modem and exchange it because
once the thing gets stuck in bridge mode the only way to get it out is to send it back to the factory
repair shop. I sent it back because I like running the dual firewall arrangement (my firewall/router
and the modem firewall/router).
Make sure the modem/router is not using the same IP address range (on the lan side) as your
router uses (on its lan side), other wise you could have conflicting IP addresses between the two.

MSI RG54SE II Configured as a repeater

Hi,
I just bought the MSI RG54SE II, and I would like to set it as repeater. I have a Belkin connected to my modem, anyone has any idea how to do that?
Thanks in advance.

Nope, as you go by wire to them.
Repeating is repeating the signal you original started with, only that gives extra traffic on your network.
You better do roaming.
Quote
Roaming access
If you are installing additional Access Points to cover a broader area with Wi-Fi access, it is possible to allow clients to roam freely between them. The common method is to use the same SSID and Security settings on each access point.
Use a different channel on each AP. e.g. if you are in the US and installed two access points, use channels #1 and #11. Or if three access points, then use channels #1, #6, and #11 (keeping the channels at least 5 apart should help keep interference between APs to a minimum).
When using multiple Access Points, each one should be connected by LAN to LAN uplink as described above. They can even be attached to different switches within the same organization.
>>Link<<
As said, simply use wired-AP's and let the clients roam them. (it will also speedup your network instead of slowing down)

Linksys WRT150N Configuration

Problem with my linksys WRT120N i can't connect to the address 192.168.1.1

Hello friends
i need help cuz i can't connect to the address 192.168.1.1
i didn't change the address 192.168.1.1 to an other address but i can't connect to this last i want to change my options
i really need help plz

Make sure that the computer is connected to the router on the Ethernet port..Now,check the ip address on the computer....Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
If you get 4 replies then,Adjust the Browser Settings on the computer....Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...

Linksys EA6900 configuration for BT

Hi All
I have been having a few issues with my BT homehub, disconnecting, dropping connection, etc. so I decided to try a different router to see if it was actually the BT homehub causing the problem. However I cannot find anywhere where there are a list of settings to use - does anyone know what they are?
Basically, I have tried:
Connection Type: PPPoE (only other options I have are PPTP, L2TP, Bridge Mode and Static)
Username: [email protected]
Password: BT
Service Name (Optional): BT
Oh and I had seen on post that mentions changing the MTU to 1492.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
