Router and access point connected to FIOS router

Here's my situation. Just installed Verizon Fios which supplies their own Actiontec Wireless router. I have an existing network which comprises a WRTG54Gv6 which was connected to a DSL modem for internet access originally and a WAP54G accesss point as a Repeater to extend the network wirelessly. I have quite a few wired and wireless connection to this netwrok and wish to retain these devices. My question is, based on where I had to connect the new FIOS router(which is where the access point is) can I connect the WAP54 to the FIOS router(through a switch) and allow the combined WAP54/WRT54G network to still provide my network services and deactivate the wireless service from the FIOS router. How do I configure the FIOS router, the WRTG54 and the WAP54(if change neded).
Thanks in advanced if anyone can help.

Easiest way to configure the Verizon FIOS with Linksys is - Leave the Verizon FIOS unplugged from the Linksys Router and disconnect it's power cable.
1. Connect a computer to the Linksys Router it's Internet Port...
2. Access the web interface of the Linksys Router, change it's default address to 10.10.10.1 and leave it's DHCP Server Settings 'Enabled'. Once done you should Power cycle the Linksys Router.Don't change the Router Mode.
3.Connect Verizon FIOS from it's Ethernet Port to the Linksys Router on the Internet Port.
4. See if you can access the Internet...
You can also have a look at this link to connect two routers.However, both the router's used in the link are linksys routers but you can still follow the link.

Router and access point connection

Tried to get smart today, took and set up my network with a wrt54gs the other day and still have some headaches after finally getting things to work. but my idea was to take my old wrt54g router and place it at the other end of my house for the wii system. I took the old router and changed the setting from gateway to router and gave it a new internal ip address. Everything worked fine, all the wired and wirless computers including the wii worked great, but when I went to my computer, where I installed the easylink program, it showed I changed networks. Do the setup crap again and it can not find the router but showed the old one as the new netork and could not connect, could not get internet or anything at this computer. But every other computer throughout the house was working great and connected to the net with no problem, the only one not connecting is the only one with easylink keeping it from connecting.
So I disconnect the added router/access point and had to run setup again with easy link, once it was up again I reconnect the old router and everything was great, showed the old as an access point and all the devices on the network. So things are great until I close my lid and my computer goes into standby, when I open it up I have the same problem again, but this time I know what to do, and I find as long as I keep this computer on all is great, shut it down all others equipment still works fine all except for the one computer with easylink on it.
Any ideas on to resolve this, I know people in the forums have said for a long time you can't use the two routers the way I have them set up, but it works great, the only problem is easylink keeps screwing me up on the one computer, if I moved the program to another computer it will do the same to that one and leave this one connecting just fine. So far my experience with easylink has been horrible, the only reason it was installed was because the box said it must be installed prior to anything else. before I just plugged things in and put in the settings I needed and life went on.

Hey,
I think you can try to update the firmware of the router, to check if that stops connection dropping. To update the firmware of router try this:
Go to www.linksys.com/download and select correct model number and version number. Download the firmware and save it on your computer.
Check the file it should be firmware image file like .bin etc. If it is a compressed zip file extract it to get firmware image file.
Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name.
Go to administration tab there
Go to firmware update sub-tab there
Browse for the firmware image file and click update
When update completes turn off modem & router.
After 2 minutes turn on modem and after 2 more minutes turn on router & it will definately work!!!

Router and access point

Likely either or. Of course if you "need" wireless you have to have an AP somewhere and many of them are capable of serving up DHCP and doing many functions of a small broadband thingy (I won't call these things "routers", "thingy" seems more appropriate) :)

which one i should use a router or access point to create a home network lab where i can play around with the DNS and DHCP configuration without changing the ISP router setting??

My router and access point reboots when trying to stream content from iOS devices or mac to my apple tv.

the zycel N series access point and cisco router reboots when i try to stream or mirror onto apple tv using air play. What can be the cause of the problem?

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Log out and log back in. Any change?
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Aironet 1600 - A response was not received from the router or access point

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a wireless network with multiple SSID's. The new network only has CISCO products (router, switches). For the moment I'm trying to connect to 1 SSID (Windekind.Gast). the SSID is visible but when connecting devices have te folowing error message in the log:
Connection status summary
Connection started at: 2015-02-17 09:55:49-951
Profile match: Success
Pre-Association: Success
Association: Fail
Security and Authentication: Not started
Root cause:
Wireless association to "Windekind.Gast" failed
A response was not received from the router or access point.
Detailed root cause:
Wireless association to this network failed. Windows did not receive any response from the wireless router or accesspoint.
The signal is perfect (I'm only a few feet away from the AP).
To make sure there is no dhcp problem I tested the swich port in access mode for vlan 30 which supplied an IP correctly. I'm really not seeing the problem and searched the web for days now! Any help would be very much appreciated!
Below the config of the access point (done via de web interface).

Hi Rasika
thanks for the reply! 10.0.0.81 belongs to vlan 1. I changed the config as suggested but no luck.. (same problems are logged in the event viewer). the ap is connected to a switchport in trunk mode and vlan 1 is the native lan (untagged). the port also is joined to vlan 30 (and others).
Below the new config. Hope you can see an error..

Upgrading controllers and access points through NCS

I am currently trying to upgrade all of my controllers and access points to the newest version. I have downloaded the file and loaded it on the ftp server running on the Cisco NCS server. I tried to go to configure>controllers and Download Software(ftp) and go. I setup the schedule and it says failure. The details say %Error:Code file transfer failed - Connection Timeout. Sorry if this is a basic thing that I am missing. I have tried using an internal ftp server as well and it errors out also. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is setup with NCS Prime running 4 WiSM blades and 3 WiSM 2 blades in 6509 chassis. I am going in through NCS and doing configure controllers and download software(ftp) from the select a command dropdown. When I setup it up this way I have to select schedule unless I want it to automatically download and reboot the controllers, which I was trying to avoid so that I could do it during the day. It just keeps timing out on the download portion.

We installed a new router and changed the name of the router. Now my HP C4500 printer won't print.

Our cable company installed a new wireless router and changed the name of the router. Now my HP C4500 printer won't print from my laptop.
I can't find any ot the Set Up stuff I used initially.
Is there any way to get my printer to work again...wirelessly?

Get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page. When you start the installation it will ask what kind of installation you would like. Choose "Wireless" or "Network" then click "Next".
Eventually it will ask you to plug in a USB cable to the printer temporarily to communicate the new router's info to the printer. Make sure to not plug in the USB until it asks.

I have the Actiontec MI424 Router and 50/25 plan. What router should i upgrade to?

Should i get the Apple Extreme? or something else?
i live in a house with a yard and my current wifi only reaches to the patio. i would like to go straight from G to AC so i dont have to upgrade again.
suggestions?

I have no personal experience with the Apple routers. I hear good things about them. There are lots of other good routers and access points out there. It really depends on your budget and needs. There are plenty of places on the web to get reviews of routers.
Good luck!

Can I disable my Verizon Fios Router Wireless radio, connect it to a switch and use my airport express as my wireless access point connected to an in wall ethernet port?

Here's the deal. I have a Verizon Fios MI424WR router. My house has CAT5 throughout the house. The media panel is located in the garage. I want to take the Verizon Fios Router and cannot it in the media panel so I can connect a switch to it, that way, all my CAT5 can fire throughout the house. Verizon being Verizon decided to connect the router directly in the office.
Can I go this route (Router in media panel, switch cross connect to it) and use Airport Express, connected to one of the in-wall CAT5 ports in my house and then set it up as my wireless access point to provide wifi to my portable devices (iPad, iPhone, Macbook)? Is this possible? Will Airport Express comminicate with my verizon router via ethernet in-wall? Do I have to turn off the wireless radio in the Verizon router? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That is right, by hard wired I was just making clear wired vs wireless attachment. AirPort family of devices will only act in a repeater mode with their own family members, not FiOS routers. they have to be wired to work.
There are some useful docs you can download from Apple, Support, Manuals, Peripherals, AirPort (just follow thos links from the Support button on the top bar):
Apple AirPort Networks
Designing AirPort Networks
AirPort Express Setup Guide
The last has a diagram of what you are trying to do, though without the house wiring, etc., but the basic principle.

Have apple tv 2g and several IDevices (ipad, iphone..)and around the house i have several access point connect via UTP cable to the same router/modem, but when i try Airplay it wont work if the devices are on dif wifi conn. regardelless its the same LAN.

Problem with Homesharing/Airplay with dif IDevices (Itunes with a PC, Iphone, Ipad, Itouch etc) using my home wifi connections that has several access point throu out the house and they all are connected via UTP cable to the same modem/router (My LAN).
When i try to use airplay or homesharing both devices have to in the same ACCESS POINT (it does not mather if its WIRED or WIRELESS, i have the same problem with both).
Any ideas?? This did not happen before i upgraded ITUNES in order to use IOS5.
Thanks

Thanks for the advice. But i dont have any devices sync wifi. It also happens with older versions of IOS on iphone 4.2.1 and 3.1.3 and also IOS5 (no wifi sync enable).
Basiclly when i try to airplay music using itunes (pc) to my apple tv 2g (4.3.3.) they both have to be in the same access point, if the apple tv is connect via UTP cable i have to be connected to that access point wifi. Basicly dosent work with dif access points. Also if i manage to be on the same access point (itunes using a pc and the apple tv) if i have to use Remote App to change songs i have to be in the access point to.. can not see the devices...
Any ideas?

How to add a second router as access point and wifi signal extender

Previously I had 2 linksys routers and was able to configure them as one in separate areas of my house. I think it is called cascading. The 2nd router acted as an ethernet switch with 4 extra ports and it provided a wifi signal to areas of my house that previously had a weak signal when I used only one router.
I have since switched to an Airport Extreme as my main router. I can't seem to get the same configuration with the linksys router, it is Model E1000 and has an "N" signal. The Linksys E1000 I think is the newer model of the old WRT54G Linksys. I can't get it configured to work. I have searched high and low on the internet and can't find anything simple enough for a novice to understand. I did read something that I may have to assign a "DHCP Reservation" on the Apple Extreme. I couldn't figure that out.
Can somebody please offer some guidance on how to get this to work?
Thanks

You have two routers producing two networks with the same name, so they will show up as two networks on any type of scan by a wireless utility. This is normal.
If you had used two Linksys devices, they would probably show up as one network, not two. Linksys has a feature that allows this to occur, but this is not true of Apple devices.
As long as the wireless network name, wireless security and password match up between the two routers, the two networks will behave as if they were one. As computers change location, they will automatically connect to the wireless access point with the strongest signal.

I have an airport extreme i am trying to add to an existing netowrk as an access point not as a router, any help is appreciated as i don't know much about networking.

At my work we have a modem and router to network 8 different pc's- all hard wired. My boss wants me to add an airport extreme so that he can get wireless connection on mobile devices. when i plug in the airport it creates a new network and i need to be able to connect to the existing network and not have the routers compete. is there a way to make the airport an access point instead? maybe by adding it to the exisiting router instead of one of the workstations?

When you introduced the AirPort Extreme, you had a condition where you have two routers in series. The simpliest solution is to reconfigure the downstream router (in this case the Extreme) as a bridge. This will allow the upstream router to provide the required NAT & DHCP services to all network clients regardless of which router they are connected to.
To reconfigure the Extreme as a bridge, you will use the AirPort Utility. (Note: I will provide the steps for using AirPort Utility v5.x)
AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort > Manual Setup

Do I need a router or access point / bridge?

Hi. We have a MS small bus server with a software firewall. It does dhcp and routes traffic so we don't need the router part of the router.
Wireless N access is needed. Will a DAP 1522 (Wireless N access point / switch) offer the same wireless performance as a Linksys wireless N router?
I just bought the DAP access point and am getting 100-130 mb/s with a strong signal. Would the router work better with its giant antennae?

DAP 1522 is a good acess point. It lets you connect up to 4 Ethernet-enabled devices such as set top boxes, game consoles, or computers to an existing Wi-Fi network for on-demand broadcast, online gaming, or media streaming throughout the home.
With dual-band wireless capabilities, the DAP-1522 is ideal for wireless HD video streaming and gaming applications because entertainment content can be sent over the less crowded 5GHz band.
The DAP-1522 can also be used to create a new 802.11n wireless network using its Access Point feature. Simply connect it to an existing wired or wireless router, and you'll enjoy greater range and data speeds in seconds.

Wirelessly adding a new device: Router versus Access Point versus Bridge

My home network consists of a Linksys WRT54GS Wireless router with a couple hardwired PC and a wireless laptop. I want to wirelessly connect my TiVo into this network to download saved video onto the hardwired PCs, and to give my TiVo access to the internet (it currently uses a phone line). It looks to me like the choices to include the TiVo into my home network are to connect it (wired) to:
(1) a Wireless Access Point (WAP54G),
(2) a Wireless Bridge (WET54G), or
(3) another Linksys Router (WRT54G) configured as WAP (router mode rather than gateway).
Are all three options above valid options? If so I would like to understand what the differences between these choices are, and under what circumstances would one be better than the other.
As part of this, is there a reason the Linksys Routers are much cheaper than the WAP or Bridge hardware. This is counter-intuitive since the Router appears to be the more complex hardware with multiple connectors, more memory, etc.
Thanks.

Well i would suggest you to get an Access point WAP54G as it works wirelessly & you will be able to use many pc's using it without a router.With WET54G you need to connect using the hardwired cable & you need to connect it using the cables to the pc's & configure it.With router you need another router & you can configure it accordingly in a wireless mode to make it act as an access point.
