Playstation 3 Wireless Network Enable Crashes WRT54G Wireless Router

I am trying to set up my wireless connection on my Playstation 3 via my WRT54G wireless router. Whenever I start at the beginning and select Enable for Wireless Connection, the wired end of my router which is attached to my cable modem crashes. My host wired PC loses it internet connection. As I proceed with my Playstation 3 Wireless Network setup, the PS3 can still wirelessly see my router. I do an automatic configuration, but the router is unable to assign a TCP/IP address to the PS3. My main problem is that the PS#crashes my router the moment I even enable the wireless connection. Any ideas?

I don’t think of anything else that a Firmware on this router. Download the latest firmware for this from http://www.linksys.com/download and Upgrade that to your router. Reset and reconfigure it, reduce the MTU to 1365, assign a static IP on PS3 and forward the ports needed by PS3 for this IP address. Now you should able to connect to this router wirelessly.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless Networking with LINKSYS WRT54GS wireless router

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless printer conneted via WiFi to my LYNKSYS WRT54GS wireless router. I do not have a USB cable or ethernet cable plugged to the printer. I am able to use the 'scan to email button' and the 'scan to network folder' button on the front of the printer and I can pint from the PC to the printer with no problems.
I installed the HP printer software from the CD, choosing network/wireless connection, without having to install any USB cables from the PC to the printer in the process. many posts in the forum mention having to connect USB cables in the wireless installation process.
Can I install the software in the same fashion on the other two laptops? Or, do I need to do something differently?

The USB cable is used on those printers which do not have display or front panel wireless setup is not possible. We configure the wireless settings during install and save those settings in printer's memory by transferring through USB cable. Therefore the USB is plugged in during wireless installation temporarily. In your case I don't think plugging in USB cable is necessary as the printer is already on network and had IP address. Connect the laptops on wireless network and proceed with regular install, the printer should be detected automatically.

Can I use my airport express to extend a wireless network with a non-apple router?

I have been trying to extend my wireless network in my house. Right now I have a dsl modem/router provided by Century Link and an older AirPort express (not sure how old but it uses AirPort utility v5.6). I want to be able to share my printer and use AirTunes. Currently I have the AirPort plugged into the router and setup to create a new wireless network. I would like to combine them so I don't have to switch between to print and play music. I am not really sure where to start or if it even possible. Any info would be great!

If you keep the Express connected using Ethernet and configure the Express to "Create a wireless network" using exactly the same wireless network name, exact same wireless security and same wireless password as the Century Link network.....everything will behave as one "big" network, and you will have additional wireless coverage near the Express.
If you do not need extra wireless coverage, you can turn off the wireless on the Express.
The Express must be in Bridge Mode.
Most users know the name of their wireless network and password, so the really tricky part of doing this is that you must know exactly what type of wireless security settings the Century Link router is using....and then match up the same settings on the AirPort Express.
If the settings do not match up exactly, then you wind up with two separate networks that will each require their own log on.
If you can check the setting for wireless security on the Century Link router and provide that information to us, we can tell you how to set things up the way that you would like.

Multipmultiple Airport Extreme Base Stations: WDS Or "Extend Wireless Network" To Have Wired -- Wireless Bridge?

Hello there!
I've been looking for this info, but have as yet been unable to find it. Here's my scenario:
I have two Airport Extreme Base Stations (both are dual band) and 3 airport expresses. The main internet connection in my house is in one room, where I have an AEBS as the main wireless router. In another room, I have a bunch of ethernet-only devices. I'd like to use the 2nd AEBS in this room, plug the ethernet devices into it and have the 2nd AEBS act as a wired <--> wireless bridge (connected to the same wireless network as the 1st AEBS). I've attempted this via "extend a wireless network," but the ethernet devices don't get past the AEBS they're plugged into. Should I instead be implementing WDS?
I mention the airport expresses as I'd like to have airtunes & wireless signal in other areas, but would like to keep the set-up as simple as possible (i.e., not config the AXes for WDS unless it's required).
Thanks in advance for any help!

Unlike the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn), the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) cannot be configured as a wireless Ethernet bridge.
However, there are at least two ways to configure it to provide wired clients access:
Connect the second AEBSn back to the first by Ethernet; reconfigure the second AEBSn as a bridge and disable its wireless radios, or
Reconfigure both AEBSns into an extended wireless network. For 802.11n AirPorts, this would be called a dynamic WDS. The AEBSn, connected to the Internet would be the "main" base station and it would only require that you enable the "Allow this network to be extended" option in the AirPort Utility. The extending AEBSn would need to be configured with the option, Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network, enabled.
In both configurations, the second AEBSn's Ethernet ports would be enabled for wired clients.

Network mode: Create a wireless network vs. Extend wireless network via ethernet

Can some one tell me the difference between configuring AirPort Utility : Network mode: Create a wireless network vs. Extend wireless network via ethernet? I connect my cable modem to my Airport Time Capsule to a network switch via ethernet. The switch contacts to three Airport Express (AE connects to two Apple TVs via Ethernet) and another TC. Which is the best mode to configure my network?
Thanks

Create a wireless network is used only when the Airports have an Ethernet connection. If you are using the setup wizard.....the setting will read Extend using Ethernet during the setup. If you go back in using AirPort Utility to check the Network Mode setting.....you will see that it is really Create a wireless network.
Extend a wireless network is used only if an AirPort is connecting to another AirPort using wireless.......not Ethernet.
Every one of the Airports on your network must be configured to Create a wireless network.
If you do connect an Ethernet cable to an AirPort that is already set up to Extend a wireless network......that will create a massive feedback loop that will crash the network until you remove the Ethernet connection to the device.
The bottom line here might be if you are using the setup wizard, it will make the correct choice for you.

Laptop connects to wireless network via a WRT54G but it can't access internet

I’ve got a WRT54G cabled to my desktop, I set up a WEP-secured wireless network for my laptop, and the laptop connects to the wireless network and receives a strong signal, but it can’t get Internet access. I know the problem is not with the router because the laptop CAN get internet access when it's cabled to the router. (So the problem isn’t an IP address problem—which I knew because I had to reconfigure the static IP of the laptop to get it to connect to the network in the first place.) I turned off the Windows firewall, Symantec virus protection, and Internet Explorer’s pop-up blocker on the laptop. The laptop connects perfectly to the wireless network and receives a strong signal, so why can’t it access the internet??
Linksys tech support couldn’t figure it out, so I really need your help. Thank you!

(because I wanted it to have the same static IP address as the router).
Just wanted to clarify what you meant in this post. If you entered the router's IP address as the static IP for the laptop, you would get the symptoms that you are describing. Try entering a IP that isn't normally used like 192.168.1.142. (That is assuming that your router IP is the default 192.168.1.1.)
If that isn't the issue, please tell me what ipconfig is returning on both the laptop and the desktop.

Can I create 2 Wireless Networks off of a FIOS Router?

Hi,
I expect to be getting Verizon FIOS within the next month. I will be splitting it with my brother as we live in a two family house, me one one side and him and his family on the other. We will have Internet, TV and Phone. We are looking to split the Internet and TV throughout the house to his side and my side. We already have Verizon as our phone carrier so we will be keeping our phonenumbers. Splitting the TV shouldn't be hard as we just need to connect my current cable line and his current cable line to the Splitter Verizon will be providing us.
The question I have is in regards to the Internet. Since we will be having TV I'm sure I need a coax connection from the ONT to the FIOS Router. What we would like to do is one of the following scenarios if possible, starting with what we really want first. Note that all scenarios will include us disabling wireless on the FIS Router as we want out routers to provide the wireless.
1. We would like to connect 2 wireless routers to the FIOS Router to create 2 different wired/wireless networks based on the one FIOS Internet connection. Each connection will have its own SSID broadcast name (one for my side of the home and one for his side of the home). Is this as simple as connecting both routers' WAN ports via Cat-6 cable to seperate LAN ports on the FIOS Router? I would then disable wireless on the FIOS Router. I read somewhere that in order to do this, FIOS must offer 2 dynamic IP addresses. I was told this can be done with Time Warner Cable since it allows for 2 Dynamic IP Addresses. I would just have to connect a switch to the cable modem first. So, does FIOS offer 1 or 2 dynamic IP addresses? Regardless if FIOS offers 1 or 2 dynamic IP addresses, can I do what I want to do? If so, how? How would I set up the two routers? I imagine I would have to change the LAN IP addresses of the routers to something like 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.2.1 (since the FIOS Router is 192.168.1.1). Anything else need to be done? Do I disable DHCP in the FIOS Router? Any help with this set up would be greatly appreciated.
2. If the above scenario cannot be achieved I was thinking of connecting my 1st wireless router to the FIOS Router via the WAN port on my 1st wirelsss router to a LAN port on the FIOS Router. Then I would connect my 2nd wireless router's WAN port to a LAN port on the 1st wireless router. I would then disable wireless on the FIOS Router. Do I disable DHCP in the FIOS Router? The settings would be below:
1st router:
-WAN/Uplink/Internet port plugged into FIOS Router
-LAN port/wireless as follows
Internal IP: 192.168.0.1
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP pool: 192.168.0.50 to .254
2nd router:
-Wan uplink port into LAN port of 1st router
-LAN port/wireless as follows
Interla IP: 192.168.2.1
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
DHCP pool: 192.168.1.50 to .254
This way the subnets are different and I have 2 different networks. I can set up 2 different SSIDs. I believe this set up will result in double-NAT however. Would this be an issue?
3. Lastly, if none of the above scenarios can be achieved, I was thinking of just using 1 SSID for the whole house. I would connect my 1st wireless router's WAN port to a LAN port on the FIOS Router. I would then connect a LAN port from the 2nd wireless router to a LAN port on the 1st wireless router. Then I would disable DHCP on the 2nd wireless router so that is acts as a wireless access point. I would change the LAN IP address of my 1st router to 192.168.1.2 and the 2nd router to 192.168.1.3 (since the FIOS Router is 192.168.1.1). I would set up wireless and security the same on both routers. I would then disable wireless on the FIOS Router. Do I disable DHCP in the FIOS Router? With this setup, will the 2nd router (wireless access point) only be a wireless access point or can I also connect devices to the router's LAN ports?
I know I may not have everything correct in the scenarios. Will any of these scenarios work? If not, what can I do to achieve my goal? If so, then what must I change in a scenario to make it work properly?
I will need to do Port Forwarding for a Slingbox and 5 IP cameras, so how difficult would that be with the best scenarios?
Sorry for the long drawn out post, but I figured I give as much info as I could.
Thanks for the help in advance,
Chris

Yup, this is the easiest way to create two separate networks. There is no need for more than one IP address from Verizon as long each router runs in NAT mode. NAT mode will also keep each network completely separate - no sharing of resources will occur between them. Double NAT is not a problem in most cases.

X201 Laptop Causes Wireless Network to Crash

I'm running Windows 7 on an X201 Laptop. I am using a wifi internet connection and Access Connections.
After the laptop has booted it finds the wireless access point, but then crashes the wireless router and the high speed modem.
I have to turn off my desktop, turn off and reboot the wireless modem and the high speed modem, and reboot the desktop.
This happens about 80% of the time, but periodically the connection works properly.
I have tried removing the link to the wifi in both Access Connections and in Windows, and re-installing through Access Connections, but the problem persists.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestion Bill.
The wireless router seems to work fine for other connections, which include a Mac, Apple TV, a PS3, an ipad and an old Dell laptop, often working at the same time. Various visitors have connected with an HP laptop, and an itouch.
The only computer that causes the problem is the Thinkpad X201.
I should have said the the desktop mentioned in my original post (an HP Pavillion) is hardwired to the internet high speed modem through the router.
The router is a Linksys WRT 110 which apparently offers near 802.11n throughput.

Extending N600 wireless network with Airport Extreme, wirelessly

For the past year or so I have run a Netgear N600 wireless modem router, and have extended the network with a first generation A1143 Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS). Prior to this I have run the same extended network with an older Netgear router - successfully for 5 years.
After a recent lightning strike, the N600 router needed resetting. Everything was back to normal, however I was unable to reconnect the old AEBS to the network as before. I did this so that I could wirelessly back up the laptops to a connected HDD by Time Machine
Figuring that maybe this was the end of life for the old AEBS, I went out today and bought a new 5th generation AEBS, expecting that I could reconnect everything as I have been running with this router, and the old Netgear router before that without a problem.
Now though, with the new AEBS, I still cannot extend the network. Ive tried everything including connecting it via ethernet to the Netgear Router.
I can only surmise that there is something different in the N600 settings that have changed, than now do not allow me to connect.
Ive even reinstalled Mountain Lion, and also Airport Utility, and trashed preferences...to no avail. Can someone please help? Have I just wasted $200 on a new AEBS?
Im running a Retina MBP and a MBAir

Who wants to use WEP these days... I need apple to update the airport so we can use WPA together with wireless hardware from 3d parties like dd-wrt.

MBP crashes WRT54GS wireless router

I have a new MacBook Pro, which I can't get to work with my wireless router, a LinkSys WRT54GS. In my debug of the problem, I tried cabling the MBP directly to my DSL modem which works fine. Then I cabled the MBP to the WRT54GS (which is cabled to my DSL modem). After 2-3 minutes of switching between various websites (using Safari), the connection goes down, and the wireless router is dead - it must be power cycled to recover. The WRT54GS has always worked (wired and wireless) with our Dell XP laptops. Since I'm seeing the router crash when connected via ethernet cable, it's not a wireless (AirPort) issue, but must be something IP related. Anyway, others are seeing this also (see http://forums.macnn.com/92/networking/305303/mysterious-crashing-with-linksys-wr t54g/). Any suggestions?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7) Safari Browser

My MBP is also crashing the router, Mines a netgear 108mps I have tried everything, disabled every feature, on both the laptop and the router, dropped its speed to the slowest possiable upgraded to the latest firmware everything. I'm sick of this. I'm heading to the Apple store right now and buying an airport extreme, and see if I have problems with it also. if so, then I'm going to have them replace the hardward in my laptop. I have written more about this in other threads and it's not limited to just my router but local hotspots freeze if I try to use them... this is an issue with the laptop for sure, but I don't want apple to try and use the excuse that I'm mixing hardware hence the proble.. I'm going to try using all their stuff and finish the testing that way. Sad that we have to deal with this. I have also updates all the drivers on the MBP so everything as current as it could be.. will keep everyone posted.

Getting WMP100N Wireless card to acquire network from a WRT54G Wireless Router

Card is version 1.0 and router =Version 6. Have had router for a while (Slaved it off a wired router and used just for laptop connectivity to the wired net.) Have moved and found that wireless connection is more advantageous here. Bought a WMP100N. Installed and ran the setup. It connects to the router with a sterling signal. However, the card can not seem to find or connect with the network. According to the FAQs, it is suggested that my firewall conflicts with the hardware firewall in the router. Well, the router worked fine with Zonealarm when it connected thru a wired Linksys network card. What's different about the wirelesss card and how do I get it to connect? By the way, I was not aware that my router came with an organic firewall. I know that it was NAT configured (which functions as a de facto firewall) but not that it specifically contained a hardware firewall. Also, I still have the wired card installed in the machine. I've disabled it. I have tried just unplugging the cable. I haven' uninstalled it. My firewall ignores the old card when I disable it (As it should.) However, it still doesn't connect with the wireless. I'm afraid to kill Zonealarm and be protected with a supposed firewall that I'm not sure exists.

Try uninstalling & reinstalling the adapter & it will definately work!!

Can see wireless network enabled, but cant use internet explorer!

Hi,
I have an MSI Router (RG54G3) and I'm experiencing some problems trying to connect to the Internet. My computer detects very well the signal from the router, I can ping the router or any other machines connected to it, but when I try to ping for instance, www.google.com, I get nothing!
I've already tried every kind of router configuration (with no security, with WEP encryption, etc.), and still I can´t connect to the Internet.
I already set off the windows firewall thinking that might be it... but no.
Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong?!

dannysearle, you should start your own thread rather than hijack another's.
Is the router connected to the modem properly? The router should be connected to the modem via a lan cable from the modem to the WAN connector on the router. The computers connect via the lan ports or wirelessly.
Does your ISP only allow one computer to connect to the service? Try to connect that computer directly to the modem to see it can get onto the net. Make sure you are running a firewall, windows or another before you do so. But, before you connect to the modem, turn the power off of the modem for a minute, plug it back in, let it get settled and then connect to the computer or turn on the computer. If you can get on the net, then you know it's not a modem issue. If you can't, then contact your ISP. Be
Okay, presuming you can get on the net when the computer is directly connected to the modem, let's try to address the router. Don't connect the router to the modem yet. Directly, physically, connect to the router with a lan cable to the computer that could access the net directly through the modem. Configure your router to clone the MAC address of that computer. Consult the manual for information about doing this. Once you've cloned the MAC address and applied the change, close your browser. Turn off the router. Connect the router to the modem, turn on or plug in the router and let it do it's setup. Once all the lights have settled, try to access the net.

My iMac wireless / network preferences crashing / freezing / not working

My imac recently began to have trouble connecting to my home wifi. This started last month unexpectedly.
Some of the issues I am dealing with:
I am able to connect to any wifi. I can navigate to router settings (192.168.x.xxx). I am running Lion 10.7.
Anytime I try to navigate to System Preferences > Network, the network window goes unresponsive and I am unable to see / edit network settings.
I have moved system preference plisk files to set my preferences to default. This has not helped much (by much, I mean it got me to be able to see network options but it freezes instantly - the network window)
I cannot get internet access.
I did a disk utility repair and found a corrupted HD. I ran the permission repair and disk repair utility after I reboot the mac with command+r.
While in a Command+R boot environment you have an option to open a safari browser. This browser is able to connect to the internet and access all internet activity.
Does anyone have any advice for me?

Anytime I try to navigate to System Preferences > Network, the network window goes unresponsive and I am unable to see / edit network settings.
