TC as bridge want to connect WRT54G as WAP

Ok, I'm trying to figure this out. The Westell DSL modem I have acts as a router, so my Time Capulse is set up as a bridge. I need a another router so I can run an ethernet cable from it to connect to a device several rooms away and act as another router, so I've been trying to set up my old Linksys WRT54G as wireless access point.
So recap:
Westell modem to Time Capsule (set in Bridge Mode). I need the WRT54G to connect to Time Capsule so it can act as a WAP.
Is this possible?
Any help is appreciated!

Just clarify how the WRT54G is going to connect to the TC.. I am taking it you are using long ethernet cable??
If so the setup is extremely easy.. you do not want the WRT as another router.. it is WAP and switch only..
Use wan bypass.. so
1. Set the IP of WRT to the same range but outside the dhcp of the adsl modem router.. eg if that uses 192.168.1.1 then the WRT can be used on 192.168.1.254. Adjust according to your setup.
2. Turn off dhcp in the WRT.
3. Plug LAN port of the modem or the TC.. makes no difference which.. to the LAN port of the WRT54G.. note LAN not WAN.
4. Then login to the WRT and setup wireless.
If you want to use a wireless bridge. you can also do that.. download dd-wrt for the version of the WRT you have.. (except v7 which has no dd-wrt). There are instructions on the dd-wrt for universal wireless bridge.

Want to connect wrt54g to cable modem

I have a wrt54g v5, with firmware 1.02.5. I want to use my comcast cable modem. I found the walkthru on doing the mac clone. I did that, then the power cycling, then upgraded to the firmware version i listed. Still can't get it to work. When i go into the status of the router, my IP and subnet are still all zeros. Help!

After upgrading you need to reset the router and reconfigure the router.
1. Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds.
2. Then, unplug the power keep holding down the reset button for
another 30 Seconds.
3. Plug back the power back in, and keep holding down the reset button
for 30 Seconds.
4. Release the reset button.
Reconfiguration for cable modem.
Access the setup page of the router by launching an
Browser and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When
it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field
empty and provide password as "admin" (Without quotes)
click on ok.
On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be
on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings
button.
Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"".
- Click on enable
Click Clone & click save settings
Check WAN Ip on Status page of router ....
If getting Valid Ip .... try going online
If not ... power cycle for 4-5 minutes & then again check the WAN Ip address .....

How do I connect WRT54GS Router to Talk Talk MT882?

I was able to set up my Talk Talk wired SmartAX MT882 modem but I now want to use my Linksys Wireless-G WRT54GS Broadband Router but it can't connect.
I entered the Talk Talk setup using the setup cd.
I then used the Linksys setup cd to connect the router.
But part way through the setup I get a message saying:
The router is not able to connect to the internet. Try turning the cable/DSL Modem Off and back On again.
Did that and nothing changes. Still the same message.
I've seen on a couple of forums that you should change the internet connection type of the SmartAX MT882 to Pure Bridge and the Linksys WRT54GS to PPPoE.
That doesn't change anything.
After having connected the Modem to the computer with the Ethernet cable vis the ethernet port I then take that out and place it into the internet port on the router and connect the other ethernet cable from one of the numbered ports(1-4) on the router to the ethernet port on the modem.
It seems that the modem has to be connected directly to the computer?
I'm completely stuck on what to do.

To get the Huawei SmartAX MT882 and the Linksys WRT54G to work together, you need to disable a DHCP server on one of the two (cause they are both routers, in this case we will disable the DHCP on the WRT54G). First leave the MT882 turned off and disconnected from the network for now. Connect to the WRT54G at http://192.168.1.1 with username and password set as "admin" unless you changed it beforehand. On the first page disable the DHCP server and change the address of the WRT54G to 192.168.1.200 (We are going to keep the IP within the same subnet as the MT882 but outside the range of the MT882's DCHP range). You will also need to switch the Advanced Dynamic routing on the WRT54G to the Router mode meaning that there is another router on the network. Also in the advanced dynamic routing mode turn on the the Dynamic Routing (RIP) to LAN+Wireless because we will plug in the MT882 into the LAN port (Not the WAN/Internet port) of the WRT54G. Disconnect from the WRT54G network. Plug in your MT882 directly into the computer via Ethernet or USB and log into the administration panel via http://192.168.1.1 if connected via Ethernet or http://192.168.1.2 if connected via USB. User name and password are both "admin". In the MT882 administration in the advanced setting turn on/enable RIP (Dynamic routing) for eth-0 (its most likely already enabled for ppp-0, ie. your provider, but now it is enabled with the Ethernet too). Now connect the MT882 Ethernet cable directly into one of the WRT54G's LAN ports and connect to the WRT54G with your computers via wireless or lan. Now once the computers are connected they will ask for an IP address and the WRT54G will forward them to the MT882's DHCP server for an address and thus you will get multiple computers through wireless connected to the MT882 and the "Internet". Good luck.

Network bridging two cable connections. Worth it?

I tend to be a bit (okay excessively) power hungry. My apartment complex provides a free shared wireless cable connection. I found it to be not reliable with uptime and was forced to get a dedicated cable line for myself.
Then I had this thought: when there are times when this wireless and free connection is up and running, would it be worth it to bridge the two connections on my desktop? One would be wired, the other wireless. I haven't yet purchased the wireless card since I'd like some input on this first. Both are cable connections at around 6 mbps (Comcast). I'm fairly savvy with networks however not so much on this concept of bridging in home computing. I use the Internet for large downloads, FTP, SSH, and web design, and I'm just power hungry , so I'm curious what the bandwidth and speed increases would be on this.
My desktop is very powerful and new, if that were to at all be a concern. Any thoughts, experiences, or input on this?

It sounds like you want to combine both physical nics into 1 virtual, this is called bonding.
Download the kernel sources and check Documentation/networking/bonding.txt .
I've done a bit of searching and it seems that downloading large files , ftp and such don't benefit from this as they only can make one connection.
Everyhting that uses multiple connections like p2p should benefit from it.
If you're going to use this, you should consider installing a downloadmanager like prozilla or aria / aria2.
Hmm, me thinks I'll play around with it, thanks!

Connecting WRT54G to Enterprise Network

I want to connect my WRT54G to an Enterprise network and allow wireless users to access the internet, but not my intranet. Are there setting configurations in the 54g that will allow this?
The WRT54G does not broadcast and is encrypted.
The wireless users are able to connect, but they are able to access all enterprise resources. What I would like, would be for the router to hand out it's own IP addresses separate from my internal DHCP IP's given out by my server.

No. You have to configure that on your routers/switches/firewall. Everything you plug into your existing LAN has access unless you restrict the access with the current LAN infrastructure, e.g. with managed switches or on your router.
Even if you could tweak the WRT to filter traffic into your existing LAN (with 3rd party firmware) it would be a high security risk. The LAN side of those cheap routers has only weak security mechanism and the risk of someone hacking into the router must be considered.

All possible if your LAN infrastructure supports it. But for that you have to post what it looks like and what devices you have.
Sidenote: Disabling the broadcast won't really secure the network. Encryption only if it is WPA2 or WPA.

Want to connect to Primavera SDK

Hi,
In my sceniro i want to connect to PRIMAVERA SDK software.Any one have any idea about the driver to connect to primavera SDK.

JDBC connects to databases. It does not connect to database utilities.
The documentation for that SDK makes it quite clear, actually in the first two paragraphs, that one uses ODBC to connect to the database itself.
So you use the jdbc odbc bridge or you find another ODBC driver for java that does the same thing.

Does the later 2009 MacBook support the Apple DVI to Video Adapter (s-video). I want to connect it to an old tv which does not support HDMI. Any suggestions?

I have a late 2009 MacBook which I want to connect to an old LG tv. The tv does not support HDMI it only has the (red, while, and yellow) ports. Sorry I dunno the exact name for it.
So I was thinking of using the Apple Mini DVI to Video Adapter (s-video), link below...
http://store.apple.com/Catalog/dk/Images/M9319_screen.jpg
But I'm afraid that the MacBook might not support the adapter.
Can anyone give me a solution for this? Is there an alternative way of doing this? I'm kinda new to apple display adapters.

The Late 2009 model 6,1 has a Mini DisplayPort not the Mini-DVI. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When the System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
Composite is the name for the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs. If you want to use the Composite input on your TV there’s no Mini DisplayPort to Composite. You’ll have to get a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_19?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field -keywords=mini+displayport+to+vga&sprefix=mini+Displayport+to and a VGA Adapter to TV S-Video RCA Out Cable for PC Video. http://www.amazon.com/VGA-Adapter-S-Video-Cable-Video/dp/B000Y7T5UU/ref=sr_1_7?s =electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1316369974&sr=1-7
Only the Yellow plug or the S-Video plug for video will work. For sound you'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate input plugs on your TV http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=macboo k+audio+cable&sprefix=macbook+audio+cable&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+audio+cable

Hey Guys, from Germany. I want to connect my iMac 21" with my Tv just for fun. Does anyone know, how it works. With a Hdmi adapter?

Hey guys! I want to connect my Imac 21 " with my Tv just for fun. Does anyone know , how it works?

Selecting the correct adapter and cable depends on which year model iMac you have and what inputs the TV has?
Check the User's Guide that came with your iMac or your Spec's at > Apple - Support - Technical Specifications
to see if your iMac has a Mini-DVI or Mini DisplayPort and then select that adapter with the correct connection for the TV.
Example: if you have a 2010 or 2011 iMac and an HDMI ready TV, then you would want the > Moshi Mini DP to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support - Apple Store (U.S.)

I want to connect my Mac Book Pro to the internet in France without any wifi connection available? Mi Fi? Sim card?

I want to connect my Mac Book Pro to the internet in France without any wifi connection available? Mi Fi? Sim card? All we have is a phone signal in this rural French location. I want to be able to Skype to states from there. We have a friend with a 3G ipad who uses an Orange sim card to do it. I would rather not have to buy an Ipad.
thanks

I found out that the data package for one month useage with MiFi is 1G. How many minutes of online time does that correspond to?

Assuming your MBP is a recent model, i.e. bought in the last couple of years, and that your TV has HDMI inputs (if you've bought it new then that's a safe assumption) then you need a mini-displayport to HDMI cable. The Apple Store sell one:

Well, I really would love the new unreleased mac pro however , I'm not sure of the expected cost , Everyone speculates from $3,000 to $8,000, in which I may have to wait a while to purchase.
To the point .... I want fully functional thunderbolt ports to be on the current mac pro's .... wonder if anyone had workarounds yet?... or could I chain the the current mac pro to a mac mini to make that happen?

I have a macbook pro with lion os. and i want to connect it to my optoma dlp projector. when i connect through a mini display to vga adapter in MBP it detects as OPTOMA XGA but no image on the screen.

i have a macbook pro. i want to connect it to projector and i have a minidisplay to vga adapter. i could connect my MBP to benq projector successfully and for all other displays( Monitors). but when i connect it to optoma projector, MBP detects the display as OPTOMA XGA but nothing on bigger screen. i tried changing the resolution and refresh rate also but no changes.
In my office we got benq projectors , for that it is working very well.(plug and play).
and also i want to say that there is no problem with the optoma projector seems, because all other windows laptops are working well with that.
i was struggling with this since one month. i googled it could not find anything supportive for my problem. please help me regarding this. i am new to apple. i hope there must be genius around here.

I need to know which MacBook Pro you have. Only mid-2010 and later MBP's transmit sound through MiniDisplay Port to HDMI. I have no information about the Mac Pro, so you might want to go to that Forum and ask there.
