Red light on WRE54G

Recently purchased WRE54G. No version number on device, purchased online. D/l'd v1 spftware from Linksys site, ran but states cannot connect to the AP I selected. Firmware is 1.04, setup page doesn't show a means to update firmware. Using this with a WRT54G v6. Initial shows two blue on power-up, then the link goes red.
Help!!!!

Sorry to appear toltake so long to get back to this, but I did post a message in reply somewhere ????, but it doesnt appear here??? and then I got tied up on some personal stuff.
Anyway, I followed all the advice I could find on this thread (thanks to everyone who has posted to any question on this thread) and after starting completely over reseting everything and basically configuring the RE with everything else turned off and then powering up everything starting with the router, I got everything up and running using WAP and all.
The only issue left is when I enable MAC filtering on the router to allow only the MAC addresses in the list access to the network the RE goes belly up. Disable Mac filtering and it comes right back up. I have triple checked the Mac address I entered on the list. The only reference to the RE's MAC address is on the sticker on the back. I can't find that verified anywhere in the configuration screens on the RE.
If I could get his working I could count my security as good as it gets and go on about my business.
Thanks again to all for helping me get this far.

WRE54G Disconnects; Red Light Comes Back On Hours After Seeing 2 Blue Lights

Does anyone have a fix for this problem? My WRE54G shows 2 blue lights, works fine, but within a few hours it disconnects and one red light shows. This forces me to unplug and then plug back in the WRE54G, and reboot my computer.
What is causing this intermittant failure? How do I eliminate this?

Since I did not have any responses to my query, I engaged a Linksys tech in an email chat session last Friday afternoon to have a go at the problem. Essentially he walked me through the usual diagnostics, device firmware version levels, etc., and I would be happy to send you a copy of that session if you think it would be of help to you (just agree to ignore my typo's!).
For reference, I am running the following configuration:
- Two Dell PC's each running XP with all current patches applied.
- Full Linksys wireless network with their WRT54GL, V1.1 router, the WRE54G range expander, a WPSM5G USB print server (connected to a Brother MFC 820CW printer), and an SB5120 Motorola cable modem.
- All Linksys devices are at current firmware levels.
- Secured network (WPA-Personal):
After the chat session, I made the following changes:
- Re-installed the expander firmware...just in case (my idea).
- Found my remote PC set to work on wireless "B" or "G" and changed it to match my router on "G" only (this was my error as I intended to run "G" only throughout).
- Changed the router and expander from channel 6 to channel 11 (the tech recommended that I "try" channel 1 or 11).
So far (knock on wood), my expander has remained "on" (2 blue lights) even through a short commercial power failure this afternoon).
Hope this helps a bit...best of luck!

Wireless expander WRE54G red light

Unit worked for a few days. Now red light is on. Re-configured and updated firmware on router and expander to latest versions. Blue light comes on for 1 minute then turns red. (This is what I get for ordering a refurb.) Support is no help. Still waiting for WebEx chat support. No one is responding. How do I return this item if I can't get someone to respond?

What is the model no of the Router..?
As you upgraded the firmware on router and range-expander..I would suggest you to reset the router and the range-expander and reconfigure both the device from the scratch.Make sure that all the Wireless settings on the Rangexpander should be same as of the router.After configuring the rang-expander,power cycle the entire network.

From your statements above, it sounds like you never tried to burn a CD for at least the first year that you owned the laptop, as it had a one year warranty on it. While you might have used it frequently to install software, play DVDs, Blu-Ray disks, etc, that's unclear from your statements. Nonetheless, it might just be dirty-dusty. So, before deleting-uninstalling any software, and given they're cheap, try a CD-DVD Cleaner Disk first and see if that resolves your problems.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

I have a MacBook Pro. My mac can detect wifi. But will not connect. I did get connected vis TCP/IP settings but I can't connect to any wifi anywhere. Network diagnostic has a green light for wi-fi and wi-fi settings. Red light for the rest.

Hello NotAppleSavy,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

I've got a mac pro problem with the starting up, but also a red light on the logic board solidly on. Its not among the diagnostic led. It's located near the BT adapter and the front fans. Also the fans run loud also. any solutions?

Hi
I've got a mac pro late 2006, and i am having problem with it for quite a while now. the problem i am facing is the start up process, and the red light on the logic board. Earlier I've got the two led on the diagnostic leds 5 and 6 turned on without the diagnostic button being pressed, and i think those are related to the processors overtemp. I've managed to solve that by, removing the processors and re applying the thermal compound on the heatsink. what i have left now with is the red light on the logic board at the time i plugged in the power. At the same time when this light come on, the power indicator at the front panel come on as well. i am not sure what is this light relates to. We've replace the power supply too, and gone through the SMC reset but seems no help.
Any idea on the problem? I am desperate about it, and i will be greatful if anyone can help..
thanks and hope for your best solutions

Ipod shuffle 4th generation device not shown on itunes, not charging. Seeing red light when connecting to USB charger for a few seconds, then nothing. How to fix this?

My ipod shuffle 4th generation was working fine for a few months. My son then bit the USB charger. I bought a new USB charger, but the shuffle is not charging and not showing up under the devices in itunes. It also doesn't appear in my windows under my computer. Just to note. I also have a new ipod touch. I am able to charge that fine on the same computer using the USB charger. The device (Ipod touch) does show up in windows and in itunes. The shuffle doesn't show in either place.
I have tried to use the apple support page. I went through each step. I made all of my USB drives not shut down, I had my computer on all night to try and charge the shuffle. All I see is a red light that appears on the shuffle for a few seconds when I first connect the USB charger to the computer. Then, nothing. Since this was working a bit ago, I don't think that I have a defective shuffle. The USB charger is brand new, I just picked it up yesterday from the apple store. I have the short one, and the longer cable as well.
Any help that you might be able to give to me would be much appreciated. My daughter is missing listening to her music. Thanks!

Instead of "charger," you should call it the "USB cable" to avoid confusion. When started reading your post, I was thinking, how can your son break a USB power adapter (the "charger" that plugs into a wall socket) by biting it...
Since you got the product with the two USB cables at the Apple Store, you have the right replacement (some third-party replacements are for the 2nd gen shuffle and do not work with the 4th gen shuffle). Make sure you are completely inserting the plug into the headphones jack. The fit may be tighter than expected, since the connectors are new.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3572
If you tried both of those cables, it would be unlikely that you got two faulty cables in one package. If a new USB device has been added to the computer between the time it worked with the old cable and now, there could be a problem on the USB bus (such as not enough power or a device conflict).
As a test, you should shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices (including any hub), except for standard keyboard and mouse (if used). Do this to reset the shuffle

Start up computer, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle by itself to a direct USB port on the computer.

Help me - iPod Shuffle 4th gen is probably dead - red light for 5 seconds

Hello,
sorry for my bad english. I hope you can help me.
I have iPod Shuffle 4th gen. I have it for one year. When I today tried to charge it, after connected to my PC (in the right USB port) I heard sound of connecting device but in Windows in My Computer nothing happened. On the iPod the diode emitted the red light for 5 seconds and then turned off. I have iTunes and iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod too.
Does anybody know what is wrong?
Thanks

Hey StatistaXS,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like your iPod shuffle may have had a very low charge when connecting to your computer:

If the iPod does not turn on after charging for an acceptable amount of time, it may need to be serviced. But first, check out the relative steps in this resource:

Hi guys well huge issue my Ipod 4th generation shuffle died and I tried to chrge it I plugged it into the USB port and the red light came on and after 5 seconds turned off the whole Ipod is dead and I've tried in wall chargers as well that doesn't charge

Hi guys well huge issue my Ipod 4th generation shuffle died and I tried to chrge it I plugged it into the USB port and the red light came on and after 5seconds turned off the whole Ipod is dead and I've tried in wall chargers as well that doesn't charge what should I do is there a solution or should I claim my warrenty and have it fixed??

Also my Itunes and computer won'r reconize it

No sound on my Macbook pro, red light.

My Macbook Pro won't play anything out loud, through the speakers, like when i have to watch a video or hear some music, i have to put my headphones in the Macbook, and then it can play the sound, but if i take them out, there are no sound and there is a red light where the headphones are supposed to be plugged in (The video or music continue playing, i just can't hear it).
I read something about "International speakers" and it's stuck on a speaker in settings, and to solve it, you just have to play some music with the headphones in the computer, and then take them out of the computer, while the music is playing, and then it should work - but it didn't work.
I've tried to turn off the macbook for a long time and then start it up, didn't work. I've tried to just normally restart it, didn't work either.
The problem just came suddenly, I didn't do anything specific before it happened, one day it just didn't work, which is about 3 weeks ago now.
My Macbook pro is 2 years old in May, and i've updated it with anything that IOS said i should.
Hope you guys know what i can do.

Try the following: I
nsert the earphone jack several times.
Blow real hard into the audio output port. Use compressed air if you have it.
Take a cocktail stirrer or a tooth pick and wiggle it inside the port.
The internal switch is stuck when you see the red light.
Ciao.

No sound, red light emitted from headphone jack

So I really have no idea how to get my sound back. I simply pulled my headphones out of the back of my Mac and I lost sound from the speakers in the computer. When I hit the adjust volume buttons on the keyboard, a circle-with-a-line-through-it symbol shows up underneath, and I hear nothing. When I look at the port where my headphones plug in, a red light is shining out of it. I've already checked sound options in system preferences. Did I break my sound by simply pulling my headphones out?? Help!

Had same thing happen a couple times and fixed it by just plugging headphones in and unplugging a couple times.
Don't know for a fact but I think the audio output thinks it has a digital optical device connected (Hence the red light). That would explain why you are getting no sound from speakers.
Next step would be to call Apple.

Displays red light for 20 seconds then goes out. nothing else happens. have tried charging it on the computer and all night in power point. wont show up in itunes or my computer

i bought my daughters ipod shuffle 4th gen last week for xmas. set them all up easily etc and wrapped them for xmas. kids opened them up for xmas played them most of the day so i thought i would charge them both overnight on the computer. pc went into sleep mode which i didnt realise wouldnt charge them. so in the morning they were flat so i charged them on the pc but 1 didnt seem to take any charge while the other worked perfectly. treid to charge it all night long last night using a power point charger and still this morning it displays the red light and wont show up in itunes or my computer. apple support havent rang me yet

Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

Xperia S does not turn on, red light when charging.

My phone, after spending a day on a boat, was low on battery (this was 2 hours after leaving on the drive home). It went from 6% battery to shutting down completely in a matter of seconds. I plugged it into my car charger immediately, but it has not turned on since. Previously i have had problems with the headphone jack not recognising if earphones were plugged in or not, but this usually resolved within a few minutes. On top of this i have once struggled to turn the phone on due to i believe a once off problem with the power button.
Recently the headphone jack has been playing up a lot more than usual, but it never resulted in this. I have never experienced any other problem with the phone. PROBLEM: Once it turned off, I have been unable to restart my phone. When charging it shows a dull red light like when charging less than 15% battery. I have charged it now, on and off using multiple different charges for 6 hours, and have left it on its original charger as i write this. The power button plus volume up has no effect. There is no vibrations when i turn on the device. The screen which usually loads something when charging, has not displayed anything since turning off. It does not connect to either an apple or windows computer with a usb cable, volume down key depressed or not. It does not get hot to touch while charging, and i remember according to AVG that the battery quality that day was "good". After 6 hours of charging, the red light is still there(and usually a full charge after 1.3 hours, leaves a green light) Put simply, the only responce of any kind i get from the phone is a red light when charging. What have i done? recharged the phone for 6 hours, tried power button, restart button combo, usb connection with both an apple and windows computer, i also put it in rice in case there was any water but did not change anything. anything changed? after 2 hours of charging on the wall, the red light disapeared... tried the above, nothing happened, unplugged the phone then replugged it in... red light. I will try to get it repaired shortly along with a broken PS3, but i would rather a solution, as both my work and social life heavily depend on it. thankyou in advance

If you have given it a good charge and still have no luck, I would advise running a software repair. This can be done with the phone powered off:
1. Download the PC Companion software from http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
and install it on your PC.
2. Install and open PC Companion then select Support Zone.
3. Phone Software Update.
4. Start.
5. Repair Phone
6. Continue
7. Accept data removal
8. Next
9. Wait for prepare
10. Select Phone
11. Follow the connection steps

How to switch off the red light (optical out) on my Audigy 2

I am not using the optical out most of the time, is there a way to switch off the red light coming out of optical out?red light is causing heat leading to cracks on the surface of the card.Please help soon. thx

Are you sure? AFAIK, LED's don't produce any significant amounts of heat. And, no, I don't think the light can be switched off.
