Linksys WRT54G interferance with Wireless Security

I searched the site and didn't see this type of problem, but I have a brand new WRT54GS with speedbooster.  Setup and works great.  Today I plugged in a Chamberlain wireless vehicle alert in my home, the result was my wireless internet connection was interupted.  This required me to reset the router.  Is there something I can do to prevent this so I can run both devices?  Thanks for the help!!!!!

It looks like Chamberlain makes a few different models of their vehicle sensor.  Which one do you use?
I found a user guide, but it did not say what radio frequency the device uses, and it did not mention anything about changing the channel.
Since you had a problem with your router, I would have to guess that the Chamberlain probably uses the same 2.4 GHz frequency band as your router.  If this is the case, then the solution is to get the two devices to use different channels, and preferably 5 channels apart.  There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band, and the channels overlap one another.  Usually channels 1, 6, and 11 work the best.
If you cannot change the channel that the Chamberlain is using, then change the channel in the router.  In most cases, this should eliminate your problem.

  • Linksys WRT54G compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

    Is the Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router (WRT54G) compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

    Use the LAN port and cable. That way you'll get no interference and great data transfer. Or this maybe helps. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/connecttolive/xbox360/homenetworking/equipment.htm

  • Problem with wireless secured network in hotels

    Hello,
    I'm a cabin crew member and I travel around the world almost every week. Since the update ios 6.0, my Iphone 4 16 GB doesn't connect automatically on the wireless secured network of hotels, while it worked before the update in the same hotels. My Iphone still connects automatically on my own home network, but I must ask every time to the help desk of hotels for manually connecting, by registering my mac adress on the router. Problems in Japan (Tokyo), USA (New-York, Washington, LA) and Senegal (Dakar). I'm really upset and Apple seems not concerned. Please help me.

    Welcome to the forum.
    I'm not so familiar with Linux, though've installed and dealed with some distrs, but as far as i know they're mostly compatible with each other.
    So, check this forum (though it's Ubuntu) and try to find solution there, if no one here helps.
    Also there's a member here called wyth, which helped some Ubuntu-users, which was great. Try PM him if no help here or on that forum.

  • Facetime works with wireless security disabled, dropped otherwise

    On a D-Link DIR-615 wireless router, configured as an access point.
    Security mode: WPA-Personal
    WPA mode: WPA2 Only
    Cipher type:AES
    I tried inserting a 1.3 Mb file, to no avail.
    I have an iPad mini with OS 8.1.2
    Please let me know if more information is req'd.
    To have facetime with my son and grandchildren I have change the security mode to 'none' during the session! Really? If I do not, we have about a one minute session that is dropped.
    Any ideas will be explored!
    Thanks in advance,
    Grandpa Pete

    Three answers:
    1-The router is an access point as it is a 'slave' to the wired router. The wired router assigns the ip addresses and is connected to the Comcast-Arris modem.
    2-Security mode options: None, WEP, WPA-Personal, WPA-Enterprise and
    the password options are Auto (WPA or WPA2), WPA2 Only, WPA only. I chose the WPA2 only as some other place I'd seen something about a problem with the TKIP cipher. I'm a novice, though. What you're suggesting makes sense and I'll try to go to WPA only.
    3-I tried inserting a file showing the wireless router setup page, via a screen shot. I can't even insert a half Mb file, for whatever reason. The error page says to keep it to less than 2 Mb.
    -As above, the wireless device must be an access point. It's in the living room, where wireless devices are mostly used. The wired router is in one corner of the house, with the main winxp pc.
    -I can't make the wireless router security mode WPA2, so I used WPA for everything and see if it works for the next facetime session. All the other wireless devices are now functional.
    -I'm not understanding the third option. Is that for my tower, each wireless device?
    (No, winxp is not a joke. I use it as my main pc os and have no need to replace it. I'm posting my problem in this forum because we now have an apple product, the mini iPad, and I'd sure like to use it for the facetime with the wireless security setting on during the session. So far, it's REQUIRED to turn the wireless security off to keep the facetime session longer than about 60 seconds.)
    Thank you very much for your time! I really appreciate it. As a novice, routers are still mysterious to me, what with all the settings inside of them.
    Grandpa Pete
    btw: my question is not solved. Not at all! I still believe I have an unsolved question. I don't know why the green box and checkmarks exist! Did I miss something?

  • Imac running Safari Browser with Linksys wrt54gs version 6 wireless router

    I am having problems getting the router to work properly I think. I am not sure that I have it connected correctly. This is my situation, I am able to go on the internet with no problems I have Airport extreme built into my mac and it is turned on.I am ale to go to that Ip link that allows you to enter in security information for the router. After I enter in the information such as changing the name and giving myself the wep security choice when I choose save changes then safari comes up saying that I am not connected to the internet. Ok now that is strange and in order for me to be able to go back to that Ip address in the web browser I have to reset the modem over again to be able to go back and enter Admin to access the linksys security settings again. So as it is right now it bothers me that I am a open network I am not secured. I have tried talking to linksys over the phone and nothing seemed to work. we make the necessary changes but then it wont allow to save because then it says that I am not connected to the internet at that point.I have right now the ethernet blue cable going from my Imac to my cable modem right now. I disconnected the linksys until I figure this out. Please if someone who has a built in Airport Extreme on there Imac could help me out with this I would be greatly appreciated.

    well....if you have a windows computer I would suggest you to upgrade the router's firmware first...One of my relatives had a similar kind of problem and the issue was resolved by just upgrading the router's firmware

  • Can not connect with Wireless Security Set

    I have a G3 iBook 12" with an airport card. I just recently got a DLink wireless router. I can connect without security. When I turn on any WEP, it says connection failed. When I use WPA2 Personal, it will connect, but it will drop the connection every few seconds then reconnect.

    Try a $ sign in front of the password it requests
    when you try to connect.
    I tried entering the password with a $ in front of it and was not able to connect.

  • Macbook Pro/linksys wrt54g slow wireless/wired network connection solution.

    I was pulling my hair out looking for a solution for this and it did not seem anyone had too much luck here. Hopefully this will help you all...
    Setup:
    - Macbook Pro, Mac mini, 2 windows boxes (not mine), 1 linux box
    - Linksys WRT54G v6 with dd-wrt installed. This solution should work with the standard WRT54G firmware.
    Symtoms:
    - All other computers performed fast on internet speed tests and on network transfers.
    - Macbook Pro Internet connection was slow (40KB/s on both the wired and wireless network using wpa)
    - Macbook Pro internal connection was slow (2MB/s on both the wired and wireless network using wpa)
    Things I tried to resolve this:
    - Disable IP v6 (no effect)
    - Set DNS Servers field to the dns servers as reported by the router. (Increased the initial speed but this quickly decreased making it useless... not to mention impractical)
    Thing that resolved my issue.
    - Disabled STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) on the router. In the DD-WRT it is towards the top of the Setup tab. I'm not sure where it is on the default firmware sorry.
    Hope this helps someone

    You're right - there are a lot of issues about MBP WiFi. I think there's a major problem with it.
    If there was a ..."major problem with it" you would see more complaints than wifi just being among the top 10 discussion items in a trouble shooting forum. There are millions of MBP users many of whom, like myself, use wifi every day without issue.
    Your statement "They exchanged it for a new machine. Worked fine in the store - but when I got it home, I was still getting very slow speeds." would lead one to suspect maybe interference from some source or a configuration issue rather than a "major problem".
    You probably already tried changing the channel, resetting your router, changing the security scheme, elimination possible sources of interference, separating your components (router, computer, external monitor, ...), etc. but maybe starting over with a default configuration will help isolate the problem.

  • Linksys WRT54G LAN Security?

    Hi guys, just want to drop some questions around here, hope to have some great responses! Just recently, I've configured Linksys WRT54G as a wireless access point and it's working fine, as well as i enable WEP and MAC filtering security. Now, I've also connected some user through LAN which i doubt to have no security and can easily connect to the internet without MAC filtering or any security authentication. How will i configure this router to filter/restrict the LAN users to access internet? Is it possible? I would appreciate any help from this concern. Thanks, Mike

    The WRT54G is designed for home or small office use.  Because of this, the wired LAN ports on the router are protected only by "physical security", that is, they are protected because you only allow "trusted" people to come into your home. 
    Anyone who plugs their computer into a LAN port, will be able to access your network.
    If you know the MAC address of a computer, you can use "Access Restrictions" in the router, to deny them access to the Internet.  But they will still have access to your LAN.

  • AirPort Express drop-out / skips -- Windows XPSP2 w/ Linksys WRT54GS router

    Hello,
    I'm having some skipping / drop-out issues when streaming music from a Windows XPSP2 fileserver, which runs iTunes 7.3.2.6, to my AirPort Express. I've long suspected my LinkSys WRT54GS router. Here are some things I've tried:
    * tried enabling logging on my AirPort Express unit, (I actually installed a Windows SysLog client and ensured it was working) but it reveals no useful information after a skip -- just debug logging. No change.
    * changed the wireless channel from 6 to 11. No change.
    * Do not have wireless security enabled (just don't broadcast ESS ID). No change.
    * Latest firmware on router, AirPort Express, and iTunes. No change.
    * All other wireless devices in the house turned off. No change.
    I'm seriously considering buying a new wireless DSL router to see if it makes the problem go away (any suggestions to makes or models appreciated). Unfortunately my WRT54GS is not one of the routers that supports reflashing with a third-party firmware, or I would have done this eons ago.
    Another thing I am not sure how to test is the signal strength that the Airport Express gets from my LinkSys WRT54GS router. I've not been able to figure out how to get this information, and I also do not know what are considered good / not-good strengths. Any help here would be great.
    Here are some details.
    AirPort Express with Firmware 6.3, communicating wirelessly over Channel 11 to my LinkSys WRT54GS router with firmware 1.52.0, into which my Windows XPSP2 fileserver is physically connected with CAT5 cable. The music files are served up on a Maxtor DiamondMax 10 7200 rpm 300GB Serial ATA-150 Hard Drive.
    I've really tried everything I can think of, and I still get skipping.
    Specifically, music will play fine for 45 minutes, or 5 minutes, or an hour; then, the music will suddenly stop. The AirPort Express will continue to have its green LED on, though. The music will resume 1-10 seconds later. This skipping will happen periodically for a 1-2 minute period, usually 2-3 times per minute, go away for an indeterminate amount of time; or, it might persist until I get tired and turn off my stereo. There is no pattern as to time of day so I don't suspect neighborly interference.
    Other things in the house are an older 802.11b laptop, 5.8GHz phone, brand new microwave, and a few dozen Palm and Windows PDAs that all have their WiFis disabled, where appropriate.
    Any suggestions or ideas would be fantastic. This has been a problem for a couple of years now which I have systematically (though unsuccessfully) tried to solve.
    Thanks,
    -Jeff

    I haven't yet budgeted to buy a different router, but I'll respond when I do as to whether this was the fix or not.
    Just an observation ... in your case, the music streams wirelessly from your laptop to your router, and then wirelessly again from the router to your Airport. That's 2 wireless paths it must go. In my case, music streams directly to my router with a LAN cable; then, wirelessly from my router to the airport. So that's only 1 wireless path, and even still I am experiencing problems.

  • Linksys Range Expander With Time Capsule

    I have a time capsule that I use to wirelessly connect to my Mac.
    My wife has a PC some distance away.
    I have a Linksys Wireless-G Range Expander Model No. WRE54G V3
    Is there any problem in using it with the time capsule to connect to my
    wife's PC?
    The AirPort Utility says that the time capsule IP address is 10.0.1.1
    Is this all I need to know?
    Thanks.

    Hi… If you get limited or no connectivity, it can be the issue with Wireless Security. Make sure that you router and Range Expander are on same SSID and wireless channel and wireless security settings are same.

  • Linksys Violation Error 0040756D for my Linksys WRT54G Version 3

    We are using the Linksys WRT54G, version 3, wireless router and the 2,4 GHz Wireless-G PCI adapter.  Whenever we boot the computer up we get a Linksys access violation error 0040756D that is pointing to a problem wth the WRT54G.  How do I eleminate this issue?

    This might be the Error message when you must have configured your linksys router with the Setup disk...So i think you need to uninstall the Linksys software from your Computer and this will solve the problem,,,
    Click on Start - Control Pannel - Add Remove Programs and in the List you will find "Linksys Easylink Advisor" select and click on Remove. Once the software is uninstalled from  your Computer Reboot your computer and i think this will eleminate the error message. 

  • Wrt54g - trouble connecting wireless device

    I'm having trouble with my Roku recognizing the Linksys wireless network- the correct network doesn't show up in the list of networks in the area (I see some of my neighbors secure networks) and I have tried entering it under "other network option". I put Linksys as the network name with no password (which of course didn't work). I don't know the password and have never had to enter one. Normally the Roku automatically logs onto to the network so this is a new problem. I also had this problem with my lap top- but was able to get by with what I entered above. Help! Is the router the problem?

    Enter the routers admin pages and change the SSID to a unique name, not LINKSYS.  Remove all wireless security and save settings.  Now connect your Roku and see if it finds your new SSID.  Once connected and tested you can go back and add wireless security.

  • Cannot connect when wireless security is enabled

    I have a linksys wrt54g ver.6 wireless router. My Dell laptop running vista can connect wirelessly to the internet just fine when I have wireless security disabled on my wrt54g router.
    When I enable security (I tried WEP) the network connection on my laptop fails and I see this message in vista’s “Connect to a network” window:
    "The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network"
    Any ideas on how to fix this?   Thanks!!!
