    If you are getting a public ip address from the ADSL device then connect RV042 to the AdSL device and then configure the settings for wrt54g connected to RV042.with DHCP disbled and connected from LAN on RV to  lan On WRT.

  • Linksys Wireless Router: WRT54G Version: 2

    I was just curious, since I have been talking to someone about the Linksys Routers and they were saying that WRT54G Versions 3, 4 & 5, all work successfully. Then when I asked him about Version 2, he said that he THINKS that the router will work.
    Can someone please give me an answer: Will the Linksys Wireless Router: WRT54G Version: 2 work with a MacBook Pro?!

    I get from 3 to 6 Mbps wireless and wired, which is considerably slower than my other Windows-based desktop and notebook over my 30 Mbps cable connection. My Dell notebook and desktop consistently get 15 Mbps wireless and 22 to 28 Mbps wired. Mac OS is relatively new to me, so I haven't had a chance to read as much I need to about optimizing connection speeds. But, I can either fix it by optimizing it, or perhaps Apple will come out with a firmware update since some people have been complaining about slow connections speeds and dropping connections.
    In my work, I have several computers going at the same time, and for typical Web surfing, I see no difference in speed between the 6 Mps on the Mac and the 15 Mpbs on the Dell---it's really limited anyway by the Web site server. I do notice a difference in download times, but even for very large files, the difference is noticeable but not a problem. And, there has never been a problem streaming video or downloading trailers, etc.
    Of course, only five years ago, my cable connection was first 128 Kbps (which was high speed then), then they jumped it up 1 Mpbs, then 10 Mbps, and now 30 Mbps---so the 6 Mbps on the Mac still seems pretty fast to me.
    Speed will always be slower over the wireless compared to your Ethernet connection, but once you get speeds in excess of 1 Mbps, you only see the difference in download times, surfing is the same.

  • Lost IP access to Linksys wireless router WRT54GS v.4. How to restore?

    Apologies for the long post and multiple questions. If you can answer at least one of them, I will be appreciative!
    While attempting to set-up wireless networking between my new Westell Model 6100G and Linksys wireless router WRT54GS v.4 (with most recent upgraded firmware), I lost access to the Linksys. When I hooked up the Linksys again via Ethernet to my XP PC with the modem no longer connected, I was unable to access it via IP 192.168.1.1. All I get is a blank web browser page (with the usual “diagnose, etc.” button). I assumed this is because the IP address conflicts with IP for the Westell, but I am also concerned if it is hardware failure. I have tried resetting the router, but no luck. I have tried ipconfig /all which gave me a different ip address. But when I tried to access the Linksys using this ip address, I was unsuccessful. I hooked up the router to a different pc with no present Internet access and tried IP 192.168.1.1, but still no luck. Trying the IP I got from ipconfig /all at this new pc failed as well.
    Is there a chance I have a hardware failure? I had access last night when the linksys was at its original location (I only checked it once before turning in), but I seem to have lost access ever since I moved it closer to my desk and to a new electrical outlet. When turned on, the Linksys has green lights in the right places, so it looks fine, but, again, no access via IP.
    If it’s not hardware failure, how do I find out what IP address the Linksys actually uses now if it is no longer 192.168.1.1? Or how do I change it?
    Is a WRT54GS v.4 worth the trouble or should I start over and upgrade to a newer router?
    Is Linksys the best choice with the Westell 6100G? The configuration procedures seem very complicated compared to my ease of router/modem configuring in the past.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    "_when I setup the Westell modem in bridge mode, will I lose my Internet connection?_ "
    Answering my own question: "yes."
    I found what looks like a good step-by-step guide to hooking up a Westell 6100 to a Linksys
    router at:
    http://www.dslreports.com/faq/vz/4._Hardware#13600
    It provides more detail and up-to-date illustrations than Verizon's instructions at
    https://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/HighSpeed/Networking/SetUp/QuestionsOne/87126.htm
    (which appear to be for an earlier version of the Westell 6100), although they are otherwise similar. The DSLreports faq confirms that Internet and IP access to the modem will be lost during the setup phase. For a "newbie" at such linking, this bit of information is very helpful!
    Thank you, Telcoguru, for confirming that I should have followed the instructions exactly from beginning to end before becoming concerned and skipping steps.
    I will close this thread and wait for a long lazy day, to try linking the Westell and the Linksys again. If I need to post again, it will hopefully be with more specific questions about specific steps that haven't worked as they should.

  • Linksys Wireless Router WRT54G Version 3

    I just purchsed and installed a Linksys Wireless Router WRT54G Version 3.  It works great in my somewhat small ranch type house.  I'm presently just using it so I can wireless access the internet with my Dell notebook computer from any room in my house.  My operating system is Windows XP.  If I decide to upgrade to Windows Vista in the future will my Linksys Wireless Router WRT54G Version 3 still work ok?
    Frank

    yes, i think it will work... just make sure that the firmware of your router is up-to-date with the latest releases from linksys... you can check it out at http://www.linksys.com/downloads and just choose the model no. and version of your router... also, try to check the knowledge base website at http://www.linksys.com/kb ... i hope this helps... good luck buddy

    Assuming your rig can support virtual machines, you can use Hyper-V and run another OS there.
    Better practice however is to use a dedicated machine and use remote desktop to the server.

  • Please Help me with Airport Question.......

    I am wondering what is the difference between Airport Extreme Base Station ($179) and Airport Express Base Station ($99)?
    I currently have a Linksys Cable Modem and a Linksys Wireless Router (WRT54GS) and am having lots of issues with it, so I am thinking about getting an Airport Wireless router instead of Linksys.
    My question is will the Airport Base Station work for Windows PC's wireless also in addition to my Macbook Pro and iPhone?
    And difference between Airport Extreme and Express Base stations.
    They both look like wireless routers but with a $80 difference.
    I have never used an Airport router so I'm a newbie when it comes to those.
    Thanks in advance!!!!
    Patrick

    Yes, either will work with both Macs and Windows machines.
    The differences are shown here: http://www.apple.com/wifi/
    The Extreme allows you to connect wired Ethernet as well, and you can connect an external HDD for network storage. The Express allows you to connect speakers and stream music from your computer.
    Probably the biggest difference is that the Extreme is true dual-band, meaning 802.11n devices run at 802.11 speeds even if there are 802.11g devices on the network. With the Express, if there are g devices on the network, everything runs at g speed. Note that this really only matters for local file transfers - if you're just using the router to connect to the internet, g speed is plenty fast enough.

  • My MacBook Pro iTunes movie purchase is not showing in iTunes store movie purchases nor does it show on my iPad or Apple TV.  Can someone please help me with a solution?  Thanks.

      First of all, I live in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Sometimes, I use a VPN to search on the web here. I purchased Toy Story 3 on my MacBook Pro 2011 OS/X - Lion through iTunes.  I initially had trouble downloading it which may be due to being on and off the VPN but after a while it finally downloaded and shows up in my iTunes library on my MacBook. 
      Under my Apple ID account (which is the only Apple ID account I have), I look under purchase history and it shows that I paid for Toy Story which is where I got my Order # from.  But if you go to the iTunes Store then to the Quick Links then click on Purchased, under all my Movies, it does NOT show Toy Story 3 as one of my movies.
      Now when I go to my iPad (3rd gen.), Toy Story 3 does not show up under purchased movies (all or not on my iPad).  It does not show up on my Apple TV as well.  If I want to have Toy Story 3 on my iPad or Apple TV, then it says I have to purchase it again.
      I have searched for help via Apple support communities but so far none of their solutions have worked for me.  I have tried logging off iTunes & App Store on iPad and also shutting down the iPad.  I also made sure that under iTunes Preferences>Store that iTunes in the Clouds purchases is checked. Can someone please help me with this?  Your consideration is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

  • HELP!!!! My Hotmail no longer works with Safari v. 5.0.6 and my Imac Leopard operating system 10.5.8.  Please help me with any suggestions on what to do.  Thank you.

    HELP!!!! My Hotmail no longer works with Safari v. 5.0.6 and my Imac Leopard operating system 10.5.8.  Please help me with any suggestions on what to do.  Thank you.  I cannot find any new downloads for Safari that work with Leopard.  The newest ones only work with Lion.  My Firefox browser still works though but I would rather use Safari and cannot access any e-mails or send any e-mails via Safari.  This happened about 3 weeks ago and I thought it was just a glitch on Hotmail's site.  Now I realize Hotmail must have released an update that no longer works with Leopard 10.5.8.  PLEASE HELP ME!!!!  Thanks to anyone and everyone who reads this and attempts to help me.  I do not know what to do....

    Hi Sue,
    What exactly happens when trying Safari?
    They did change it to Outlook recently, but while not pretty, I can access mine with Safari 4.0 still...
    You can also set it up in Mail so you don't need a browser at all if you want.
