Range Extender not working on Wireless 802.11n

I've started a new topic to ensure this gets the correct attention. For the back story see this forum topic. http://community.linksys.com/t5/Range-Expanders/Can-t-find-Range-Extender-after-installing-firmware-...
Long story short the RE1000 Range Extender is not working (connecting, extending) on Wireless 802.11n after the firmware upgrade. As a result the device is not useful because the devices that attempt to connect to it are NOT expecting the wireless level to change and thus just get stuck in limbo land.
My wifi network (as of writing this) SSID is called "SeriesOfTubez" and is broadcasting on b/g/n. However as you can see by the wireless network survey (from the router) all other devices connect on "n" but the RE1000 is only connecting/broadcasting on "b/g" (not "n")
Is there a setting somewhere to force it to use "n" or does Cisco/Linksys need to fix the firmware again to get it right? or do I need to take the unit back to the store and buy another brand that properly supports 802.11n?

Great to hear that, Steve. Keep your eyes open and observe your connection. Don't worry, Linksys Support is available 24/7. I've had a number of great support experiences from them even at ungodly hours!

Problems connecting on Wireless 802.11n with my T61 with Intel Wireless AGN

Hi, I live in Thailand and have a similar problem as others with my Intel Wireless AGN connection as others. I have a D-Link Model DSL-2740B Rangebooster N ADSL2/2+ Modem Router. It is supposed to support 802.11n draft wireless connections of up to a maximum of 270 MBPS versus 54 MBPS for 802-11G wireless. Of course, I don't expect it to reach the maximum transfer speed, particularly here in Thaiand, however I would expect it to produce results better than the 54 MBPS rate for 802-11G. I first tried it on my ThinkPad T61 which incorporates Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN. When connected, it shows a speed of 54MBPS (802-11G) instead of higher wireless 802-11n speeds. I've upgraded my router to the latest firmware and have tried different configurations with no improvement in performance. One think I have noted is that when I make an on-line configuration change to my router configuration then select "apply", immediately my ThinkPad rate changes to 150 MBPS momentarily then my connection is lost (to be expected as the router changes are being implemented), followed by reconnection of wireless signal only to return at 54 MBPS again. I also have an older ThinkPad model without built-in wireless capability so I purchased a Belkin wireless 802.11n USB adapter to connect to my router. Again, the maximum connection is at 54 MBPS. When I repeat configuration changes to my router as I did above, my ThinkPad connection momentarily changes to only 1 MBPS instead of 150 MBPS as in my other T61 ThinkPad then reverts back to 54 MBPS once the configuration changes have been completed. Has anyone successfully used wireless 802.11n successfully at the higher transfer rates (above 54 MBPS)? Is it possible that my TOT Goldcyber connection speed is artificially limited? I notice that my rated speed for my desktop computer connected to my same D-Link DSL-2740B only indicates a rated speed of 100 MBPS. I use Vista Home Premium 64-bit on my destop, Vista Home Premium 32-bit on my ThinkPad T61, but us Windows XP Professional on my older ThinkPad. I feel that my problem is either with my ADSL carrier (TOT) or compatibility with my D-Link DSL-2740B Modem Router and my ThinkPad T61 internal wireless card and/or Belkin wireless n USB adapter. IT-City is letting me swap out the Belkin USB for the D-Link Rangebooster n DWA-140 USB adapter next week when they restock. The only other think that I can think of is that wireless n just doesn't work in Thailand and that maybe I should just stick with wireless G and go with a higher powered wireless USB model such as the business rated EmGenius EUB 362 EXT. Has anyone used this model and had good success with it; I've heard that it is a long range model and has the capability of reaching 108 MBPS through some sort of magic? Looking forward to reading your replies and possible solution.

Hi!
Intel Wi-Fi cards support full 802.11n speed of 300 Mb/s working at 5 GHz range only. Your D-Link DSL-2740B works only in 2.4 GHz range. So to get 300 Mb/s you have to get another wi-fi router that supports 802.11n in both 2.4 and 5 GHz, for instance Lynksys WRT610N or Apple Airport Extreme or whatever.

Wireless 802.11n on macbook with Leoopard

I m using Macbook core 2 duo, 2.0ghz and 1G Ram, with installed Leopard, i do have a problem on installing the 802.11n enabler that i purchase in apple through online, previously as i was using Tiger, no problem when installing it , but after changed to Mac OS X Leopard, the setup did say that it is not compatible with smth... so any brilliant idea from u all ?? thx for helping me yea...

Leopard has the enabler built-in.
Now, whether Leopard works reliably in 802.11n mode is another matter that is being discussed in dozens of threads on this board.

Home Sharing not working between wireless PC's / devices and ethernet wired PC's on the same router.

Home Sharing is not working between wireless PC's / devices and ethernet wired PC's on the same router. I installed a new Verizon FIOS ActionTec MI424WR GigE wireless / ethernet router, replacing the original FIOS router. With the old router Home Sharing worked fine across and among all iOS and Windows wired and wireless devices. With the new router Home Sharing works between and among the Wired PC's but not between the wired PC's and the Wireless connected PC's or iOS devices. Home Sharing also works between and among the wireless connected PC's and iOS decices but not between them and the wired PC's.
Only the router was changed. No changes were made to any of the devices except all were updated with the latest version of iTunes 10.7.0.21 and the iSO devices were updated to iOS vrsion 6.01. Three PC's are wired and all are running Windows 7. There also is a Windows Home Server connected to the router by ethernet port. It does not run iTunes but does provide WebDAV services to my iOS devices. This works fine. Two PC's are wireless, one running Windows 7 and one running Windows 8. All of the PC's are connected to the same (new) router via it's ethernet ports and it's wireless access point. Two of the wired PC's are connected via a high-speed ethernet hup that is connected to the router (Home Sharing works fine between the two PC's on the hub and the PC on the router). All wired and wireless devices on the router are visible and members of the router's Home/Office virtual network.
All of the PC's are visible in the Windows network and all shared files are accessable from all PC's, both wired and wireless.
Obviously the router seems to be the issue, something between the ethernet and the wireless access point components. I checked the settings and found nothing that would prevent Home Sharing between the wired and wireless devices. There is no setting that isolates the wireless network. I have done the following:
Read the router user manual and checked all the settings
Rebooted the router and tested.
Turned off the router's firewall and tested.
Home Sharing is turned on all the devices and all use the same Apple ID.
Restarted iTunes and tested.
Verified iTunes is "Allowed" in each PC's firewall.
Again, I can Home Share between the two wireless PC's but not between either of the wireless PC's and any of the wired PC's. I can Home Share between my iPads and iPhones and either of the two wireless PC's but not with any of the wired PC's. I can Home Share between any of the wired PC's but not between any wired PC and a wireless PC or iOS device.
I hope someone may have had a similar problem and has a fix suggestion. I'm stumped! I have a;so contacked ActionTec and awaiting an answer.

Solution from ActionTec is:
Log into your router.
Click the Advanced icon
Cclick Yes
Click on the IGMP Proxy
Select Disable
Click Apply

Table range is not working!!

Hello all,
I am using the JHeadstart 10.1.3 production (build 91) and JDeveloper 10.1.3
I have a main group and 2 detail groups (nested) and regions on the main group. I tried to limit the number of rows by the "table rangë", by selecting it and putting the number of rows and its not showing on the page. I am getting the entire rows.
any comments about it
thanks

San,
Hmm, very strange. Is this the only page where table range is not working? Can you try creating a new project from scratch and see whether it works correctly there?

[T400] Cisco VPN client not working over wireless adapter (but works on cabled connection)

I have a very strange problem.
I need to connect to my work via the cisco vpn client (version 5.0.00.0340).
My previous laptop (T43 , windows XP) worked well through both wired / wireless connections. My desktop machine (vista) works via wired connection (it has no wireless connection).
On my new T400, the VPN client works via a wired connection but not via the wireless adapter.
On the wireless apapter, the vpn seems to connect OK, but when I try to access resources via the VPN there is little response.
I get this in the vpn log...
405 08:56:57.073 04/16/09 Sev=Warning/2 IPSEC/0xE3700003
Function CniInjectSend() failed with an error code of 0xa4510009 (IPSecDrvCB:846)
I've tried disabling the firewall (in both the T400 and the router), removed access connections, and disabling tcp v6. I've rebooted everything too.
But, nothing seems to work. I suspect the problem is on the t400 somewhere, because the old laptop used to work OK via wireless.
I've seen some google links on cisco vpn not working via wireless but nothing seems to apply to my exact situation yet.
Anyone else had this problem or know of a fix? Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

all good now, got it working.
The Deterministic network thing was not installed on the wireless adapter for some reason.
So, I installed the latest wireless driver, reinstalled the vpn and all is good now.

AEBS Does NOT WORK correctly with non-11n wireless devices

Well i don't know what they missed in their testing, unless they assumed everyone was going to run out and replace all their macs with 802.11n versions...
So heres the deal, my wired connection (ethernet to LAN port) is blazing fast, which it should be since I have cable internet access. My Powerbook on the other hand is constantly slowing down and speeding up. One minute it's browsing just fine, and the next minute it slows to such a crawl that the HTTP request times out. I've reset it, changed configs, nada, zip, zilch. There is something wrong with this new base station and it doesn't appear to be playing nice with 802.11g...yeah, I'm frustrated. Waited weeks for this and just spent hours trying to fix it when I should be playing with my new Mac Pro instead of monkeying around with the da@# AEBS.
Anyone figure this out, or are we going to be awaiting some firmware update?

I disagree, because basically Apple advertised that you could run both G and N devices at the same time on the new Extreme base station. While they said that running both on the same network would degrade the N performance, they never stated that overall performance would be WORSE than running a pure G network on the old base station.
All that said, I'm not running a mixed network; all I have are G capable devices, which according to Apple should run just fine, and should experience the same performance as they did on the previous Extreme base station. Well that has not been my experience, nor the experience of many others.
The most consistent performance I received was B level, and typically it didn't even hit the speeds of B level and could be measured in comparison to dial-up speeds. I have since gone completely ethernet to avoid the problem for now. Really, the whole reason I upgraded was not for the N speed, but for the ability to have both a printer and a network available hard drive attached to the base station.
I also want to add that I have uncovered another problem with the new Airport software: the Airport Disk extension. I was having another issue that appeared to be bad RAM. After weeks of troubleshooting, I finally determined that Apple's own Airport Disk extension was the source of the numerous kernel panics I had been experiencing on my brand new Mac Pro.
Long story short: The new Extreme base station was not ready, and they rushed it, I suspect in order to meet some financial deadline (quarter revenue, etc.). There are multiple bugs still yet to be worked out, including this new panic bug I have found.

Range Expander not working .. Desperately needed HELP

I just bought the wireless expander yesterday. At first, i followed the instructions which came with it. As my network is WPA-enabled, i insert the CDrom to start the utility. Everything went well and the utility was able to find my network and the wireless expander. My network had a boosted range after that. However, after one of my family members accidentally pressed the auto configuration button, everything went haywired.
I tried to reset the wireless expander and start the utility again. However, this time, the utility wasn't able to find the wireless expander.I tried it over and over again , to no avail.
I came to this forum and realized that quite a lot of people are facing the same problems as me. I followed the solutions as stated. I was able to get 2 blue lights lit after that. However, my laptop kept prompting something abt ip (can't remember the exact words) And i can't used the internet at all. I went on the forum and found the solution to it. I did what it says but it's still the same. So i decided to reset the wireless expander and at the same time taking note of the ip problem.
However, after i reset the wireless expander, whatever i did wasn't able to get the 2 blue lights lit. I have been at this for 6 hrs and on my way to madness.
Can someone help me out here?
My Modem : Motorola ( Can't remember the exact model)
My wireless router : NetGear WGR614 v5
My wireless expander : Linksys WRE54G v2
What i did :
1) I connected the wireless expander to my laptop using an ethernet cable. Thus, getting a lan connection.
2) I changed the static ip address of it
IP -- 192.168.1.155
Subnet mask - 255.255.255.0
Default gateway -- 192.168.1.1
3) I was able to access to http://192.168.1.240
4) I changed the settings
ok -- here's the problem ..
When i run cmd --> ipconfig /all --> i get ip: 192.168.1.137
                                                               subnetmask : 255.255.255.0
                                                        default gateway : 192.168.1.1
When i went to my wireless router settings it was IP : 222.164.18.197
                                                                   Subnet mask : 255.255.248.0
                                                                   Default gateway: 222.164.16.1
I do not know which one to use , so i tried both settings. For the 1st one, everything went fine , until after the power cycle. The blue lights still did not lit up .
For the 2nd IP , i can't even get the webpage to change my settings.
I have tried a combination of things. Set the SSID to the same as my wireless router SSID . I have download the firmware and yet when i tried it , all 3 trys were used and nothing happened.
I have tried doing this over and over again , looking for a step that i might have missed , but i think that i have reached my wit's end..
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!

MINdReAdEr, yep you are in trouble with the unit. The WRE54G does a good job but it can be quirky to set up. When I bought mine from Amazon, i went first to the Customer reviews for info and I there found the right way(s) to install the unit. First of all, of course, forget about the CD instructions. Too frustrating when they start to backfire. ************************************ Better ways - got from Amazon (in fact, go there and search for WRE54G and see all review): ************************************ 1. The one below outlines easy installation if your network/wireless router are on the SAME SUBNET AS THE WRE RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX, i.e. 192.168.1.xx 279 of 285 people found the following review helpful: It does what it's supposed to, once you can set it up, August 1, 2004 By Anthony Taylor (Sherman Oaks, CA) - See all my reviews If you're having trouble setting it up, definitely call the 800 number as opposed to going online. I tried with three different people through their website online and none could help. Right before I sent it back I decided to try phone support and it got the expander a reprieve. I've copied some instructions that Y.A. Escalante was kind enough to leave in his review, but corrected and elaborated some of the items based on my experience. I would've given this 4 stars, but I deducted 1 for it not having clear enough instructions with its initial shipping. (Would've saved Linksys some headaches) Here goes: 1-Disable WEP on your Router or AP 2-Hold the auto-configuration button for 30 seconds(if everything goes well both lights on the expander will turn blue) and unplug while still holding button. Plug back in after 10-15 secs. 3-open your Internet explorer browser and type 192.168.1.240 (default ip of expander), a window will pop up. leave the user name blank and put admin as a password (this is default password). 4-make sure that the default gateway and subnet mask settings are identical with your Router or AP,change password on the expander if desired & save settings. (all settings should be correct due to auto configuration) 5-Enable WEP on the expander, once again remember use same settings as in your Router or AP, save settings again. 6-Go to your Router or Ap settings and enable WEP. Bang you're DONE. Enjoy Hope this helps some of you...if not call the 800 number on the box and be patient. ******************************** 2. The one I put together with help from forums and amazon customer reviews applies to cases where the Router and the network are on a DIFFERENT subnet than the WRE out of the box (mine for example is 192.168.0.xx), and also when you want to install the WRE WITHOUT doing anything to the wireless router on your network (I like that!): 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: WRE54G: as usual w. Linksys product, installation is rough, January 16, 2007 By Roger J. Thomas "WirelessInn" (ZUNI, NM United States) - See all my reviews I am getting to think that I buy Linksys products just because I am getting used to their idiosynchrasis - i.e. the products' installation instructions are basically somehow flawed (even though I am sure they work if one makes a few adjustments to what the manuals say!) I must also say that product reviews by users on Amazon.com are an excellent source of technical info/help. My setup consists of a Satellite (Hughes) internet service with corresponding modem, feeding into a WRT54G Linksys Wireless Router which in turn is connected via cat5 to a Desktop and wirelessly to a Dell Laptop. I have to mention that the range of the WRT54G (a stock v.5 unit) is very good as it is. I want to use the WRE54G to extend range. 0. DO NOTHING to your wireless router (mine is a WRT54G - see above) - leave Router's IP address/channel alone and encryption (WPA or WPE) in place if you are using such protection. That's what I like about those steps: no disruption of the wireless network's settings in use! Also, my wireless laptop is at WRE54G install time in range of the Wireless Router. NOTE: That Laptop can actually be any computer. Preferably however one normally used as wireless unit on the network including the Internet connection>B'Band Modem > Wireless router > and now the WRE54G. 1. Change the IP of that computer/laptop you are using to setup the WRE54G if needed - i.e. if that computer's IP (from the local LAN NIC, not the wireless card) is on another subnet than 192.168.1.xx. Use something like 192.168.1.1 for example. This is necessary to access the WRE54G's internal web screen (default: 192.168.1.240). Disable wireless on the computer you are usng to set up the WRE54G. 2. MAKE SURE that your internet connection DOES NOT at this time do through a proxy - mine normally does (Satellite Internet provider=Direcway/Hughes - proxy server advised/required). You have to dig really deep into Linksys EsyAnswer/KB site to even see that suggestion!! Momentarily disable proxy server in IE > Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN settings. I.e. the wired LAN connection you are using to set up the WRE54G must not go thru any TCP/IP proxy. 3. Power up and connect the WRE (I have version 3) to that computer's newly re-IP'd LAN port (the WRE54G comes with a short cat5 cable). So, at this point, BOTH the WRE54G and your LAN connection are on 192.168.1.xx subnets. 4. Just to make sure that a LAN connection has been established, ping the WRE thus connected. Should return satisfactory result. (Again, the computer wireless connection should be disabled at this point) 5. Access the WRE's web screen via 192.168.1.240. Screen should come up. Defaut PW is of course admin at this time. 6. And now we are ready to enter specific information pertaining to your own wireless network, as follows: a. Enter - if necessary - the IP address you want the WRE54G to have on your wireless network - to be on same subnet as Wireless router used for your wireless network. My network is on subnet 192.168.0.xx: I set the WRE54G on IP address 192.168.0.240. b. Same with subnet and gateway c. Check mode (mixed/b or g only) d. SAME CHANNEL as the router e. Enter new SSID and enable/disable broadcast - same settings as Wireless Router's. 7. Now it is time to select/enter Wireless Security settings for the WRE54G: actually exact same settings as your Wireless Router's. 8. Change the WRE54G password while you are at it! Save settings and that's it! Finally unplug the WRE54G from power outlet AND LAN connection to the computer used to set up the Extender; locate/power up the WRE54G somewhere appropriatly a bit away from the laptop, in range of the Wireless Router, and in sight from the wireless laptop for initial testing (just so you can actually see if the blue lights come on: they should in the following sequence - top blue > top red/bottom blue > both blue if everything is OK.) To initially test-drive everything, I placed the WRE54g about 30ft from the Wireless Router and 20ft from the wireless laptop (which I make sure still connects to the Wireless Router.) 9. Now re-enable the wireless connection on the computer used to set up the WRE54G. Experiment with the new connection with the WRE54G. It should kick in as the stronger connection right away (if you are CLOSER to the WRE54G then the router). You'll see that when you are connecting to/using the WRE54G to connect to your Wireless Router, the signal strength is indeed higher. In fact, if you can run NetStumbler (free wireless detection software) and thus run a Site Survey, you'll see that two APs show up, same network SSID (i.e. the Wireless Router and the WRE54G, now considered as an AP itself). Of course the WRE54G will show much stronger signals. 10. Then if all is OK, experiment with placing the WRE54G as suggested otherwise - i.e. at the periphery of the wireless range obtained by just using the Wireless Router. 11. Seems to work so far. I do not otherwise detect loss of signal or b'band speed. This thing does work. I have placed the WRE54G in many different locations and I am truly AMAZED at its range extension potential. NOTE: I assume that in case of presence of signals from BOTH the Wireless Router and the WRE54G at a given location (since both devices are on same channel/SSID/Protection scheme), one might have to reset the wireless connection on the remote(s) laptops (or to reboot) to allow it(them) to pick just one (the stronger of course) connection. I was looking all along for a way to set up the WRE54G without having to go thru the rigamarole of changing other settings elsewhere on the network, using the dreaded Install CD or other cumbersome procedure! As I change my encryption WPA code often, I'll just have to change that info in one more device (besides my WRT54G and the Linksys wireless bridge WET54G - another excellent, not cheap Linksys product which i recommend also and which I use to make my Sat internet service available to another building on my business premises). Simple enough however! Note: you can also use that device to allow a web access to a computer that does not have a wireless card: plug the WRE54G into elect outlet, make sure that the unit is in range of the wireless network, connect a LAN cable from the WRE54G to the card-less computer, and voila, ths computer can get online. **************************************** Hoping this helps! - Roger T

WRE54G Range extender not recognized on laptop running Vista

I have just set up a home wireless network using the WRT54GL and the WRE54G range extender. The main computer (WindowsXP) is wired and a desktop (also XP) is getting 100% signal through the WRE54G. A third computer (laptop running on Vista) works fine on wireless running off WRT54GL but is not recognizing the range extender and getting insufficient signal in other parts of the house including the room where the 2nd desktop is getting 100%. The WRE54G is not showing up on the network map of the laptop. Can anyone help me trouble shoot? I need step by step instructions - I don't know a lot of the internet/network lingo but am pretty computer literate. Thanks

If one computer is already working fine with the wireless range extender .... you need to check the wireless settings on the vista Laptop ....
Make sure that the adapter is workiong fine ....
Also try uninstalling & reinstalling the wireless adapter .....

Reset airport extreme ac not finding old extreme 802.11n

Have supplanted an Airport Extreme 802.11n with an Airport Extreme 802.11ac.
I have performed a hard reset on the .11n.
I have configured the .11ac to functionally duplicate the network as managed by the .11n. Uses the same network ID as before. Works fine.
I now want to extend my net using the .11n, but it is not visible to the Airport Utility. In particular it does not show under the "Other Wi-Fi Devices" drop-down.
Any ideas on how I might recycle my .11n to do as I want?

It is always a good idea to perform a Factory Default Reset whenever you want to re-purpose an AirPort router, since a "Hard Reset" may not fully erase the older settings stored on the device.
Power off the older AirPort for a minute
Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding for an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the AirPort
Release the reset button and allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Restart your 802.11ac AirPort and the Mac computer, then check to see if AirPort Utility will find the older AirPort so that you can set it up again.
If you have an iPhone or iPad handy, those devices actually work better than AirPort Utility on a Mavericks Mac, so you might want to try the setup that way.

Broadcom Wireless 802.11n low Mbs speed

Hello All,
I just picked up a refurbished G500 and overall I'm pretty happy with it...with one major exception. The #1 criteria when I was laptop shopping was that it provided 802.11n support (my old laptop was just 'g').
Anyway, long story short, I am not experiencing any connectivity issues however I'm lucky if I connect at anything above 55 Mb/s. I switched over to my 802.11g router and my connection speed dropped down to 5 mb/s... so there is obviously an issue.
All suggestions are welcome, but let me rule out the typical initial responses:
* I have a Dell laptop that connects to my 802.11n router at 150Mbs so I know the router is fine
* I have tried the generic Windows Broadcom Driver
* I have tried the Lenovo Broadcom Driver for Win 7
* I have tried the Lenovo Broadcom Driver for Win 8
* I have tried the Lenovo Broadcom Driver for Win 8.1
Also note that I'm in I.T. but wireless isn't my strong point. When I first got the G500 before I did anything to it (so OEM image) the wireless connected low (Think the highest I saw it was 72 Mbs at one point).
I have since wiped that laptop and installed my own copy of Win 8 Pro (and then Win 8.1 Pro Update) and still getting the same speed.
So I feel like I have pretty much ruled out any OS issues (since I've been on 3 at this point). Drivers are always a possibility but I've tried everyone out there. And of course Hardware would be my last thought although it works.. just not that fast.
I'm also wondering:
* Is this card (Broadcom vendor Device ID 4727) even able to connect at that speed.
* Is the G500 wired with the required antenna's to get even 150 Mbs. From my understanding you must have 2 in and 1 out to get 150 but I could be wrong.
Oh, and as a last resort, would just replacing the stock WLAN with a better aftermarket be an option?

I have same problem with you when first use Broadcom 11n wireless card (only got constant 39Mbps). But I've fixed by changed wireless channel in wireless router to less intensity channel (1 or 2...) and set Broadcom driver option "Bandwidth Capability" to "11b/g:20/40Mhz". After that I can get wireless speed from 135 Mbps to 150Mbps.

Wireless 802.11n card for iMac G5

I am running a 802.11n wireless network (linksys) with WPA Personal security. Is there any USB or internal adapter to allow a wireless connection to my home network. I have a iMac G5 Power mac 8.2 and the airport card worked fine with the g class network? Apple's official stance is that they do not provide or support any external or 3rd party device to assist. They suggest I drop back dwon to a g network. So much for cutting edge...

rottencore, Welcome to the discussion area!
There is no internal solution. For an external USB solution, look at Quickertek.
