Two WRT54G, two networks, same Internet Connection

If anyone can take the time to educate me in how to effectivly stack routers to share one internet connection but set up two different networks I would really appriciate it.
I want to set up an open wireless network for customers but have my POS and Cameras on a seperate network that people using the wireless cannot access. I have two routers, and have tried using different subnets but cannot get it to work.
Is there any step by step instructions on linksys's site? I cannot find them.
Any help is greatly appriciated.
Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I have one WRT54G v5 and one BEFSR41(sorry don't know the version).
Right now I have the BEFSR41 acting as the router and the WRT54G acting as a wireless access point. I have a hardwire connection going from port 1 on the BEFSR41 to port 1 on the WRT54G and have DHCP disabled in the WRT54G. Right now anyone connected wirelessly to the WRT54G has full access to my network.
What I want to do...
Modem------------BEFSR41-----------Point of sale registers/Camera DVR
                                          |
                                          |
                                          |
                                          WRT54G((((((((( to any customers PC
BEFSR41 DHCP 192.168.1.100-150 Subnet 255.255.255.0
WRT54G DHCP 192.168.x.100-150 Subnet 255.255.255.xxx
I want my Wired network to be on a different IP range and Subnet than my Wireless so that customers cannot get onto my wired network. (I think its called segmenting a network or something like that.)
Is this possible with linksys's stuff or do I need to step it up a notch and get something like a nomadix?
Thanks again for the reply.

Connecting Two PC using internet connection ??

Hi,
I want to develop one software so that I can connect two PC using internet connection means one is host and another is remote.So that I can access remote PC's Hard drive using internet connction.Can any one plz give me some guideline how I can start.Eagerly waiting for someone reply.
Thanks & Regards

This is not what you have in mind, but it will work.
Create a server that listens for connections from a client. Create a list of commands that can be issued by client to view information. Such a list in your case would be similar to the following:
Open
ChageDir
Rename
CreateDir
DeleteDir
ListDir
Next, you need to implement the processes that will actually do the command on the remote computer. When the client issues the "ListDir" command, then adds a line (the path of the directory to list) the server should then do this (vary simple, but you get the idea):
File file = new File(theDirectory);
if (file.isDirectory()) {
String[] list = file.list();
socketOutputStream.println("Directory " + theDirectory);
for (int i=0; i<list.length;i++) {
socketOutputStream.println(list);
socketOutputStream.flush();
So, you should get the idea from this. For each command, have a method to handle the actual work on the server-side, then have the server send the resulting data back to the client for display. Notice how much this looks like DOS. It's the same idea - a command line interface (called a CLI).

My WRT54G v5 router loses internet connection frequently

My WRT54G v5 router loses internet connection frequently. Sometimes occurs when you enter a web or sometimes every few minutes, but without a pattern. I have W XP Pro with SP3 and I have a pc wired to the router and sometimes 2 notebook with Wi-Fi. What could be the problem?. Thank you very much.

I have upgraded the firmware to v 1.02.8 and reduced the MTU to 1350 but after a few minutes of doing that I had the same problem... The router reboots itself, again and again and again...
It's possible to run some diagnostic utility that somebody can check ??
It's possible it would be a router failure ??
I note that sometimes is ok and when Entering some web pages the router reboots itself and I loose my internet connection, but others, the router reboots for no apparent reason...
I dont know what to do...

No, I made sure nothing was checked for that section when i found out he could see my screen. At the top it says "computers on your local network can access your computer at: blah blah". I think thats how hes doing it but i dont know how to fix it.

On an additional note, I've purchased a wireless router and everything connected on the first attempt. It just vexes me that the built-in wireless isn't working as a router. Is this another example of "Mac only plays with Mac"?

Two networks - same cable modem

I have two networks in my home - an "n only" using the Airport Extreme Base Station into which the cable modem is attached, and a "g only" which is using the newly purchased Airport Express and which is connected to the Airport Extreme Base Station. The express is setup as a bridge only (I believe the Extreme is assigning the IP addresses). All seems to work.
Two Q's:
1. Can I use the Express in the fashion I mention above but connected wirelessly to the extreme? If so, how do I configure each unit?
2. I have an Apple TV and was wondering if changing things so that the Express assigns the IP addresses if things might speed up a little regarding Apple TV syncs.
Thanks!!

morahgreg, Welcome to the discussion area!
1. Can I use the Express in the fashion I mention above but connected wirelessly to the extreme? If so, how do I configure each unit?
If you are willing to lose the high speed of the 802.11n only network, you can configure the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to operate in an 802.11b/g compatible mode. Then any 802.11b/g client can join including the AirPort Express (AX).
2. I have an Apple TV and was wondering if changing things so that the Express assigns the IP addresses if things might speed up a little regarding Apple TV syncs.
No it will not.

When I connect imac to network via airport all devices on the network lose internet connectivity

Every device stays connected to the network but the internet stops working. Usually the network will continue to function normally for about five minutes when the imac connects, but then every device loses internet access via the network, NOT just the imac. As soon as I turn off the imac's airport they get internet connectivity back. A wired network connection to the imac seems to work OK.
The airport is configured as "Using DHCP"
Mac OS X 10.6.8
As far as I know, no changes have been made to the computer recently (but it is not my machine and the owner isn't here atm)
I found one other resource with the same problem here:
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/internet-networking-wireless/183185-turning-my- macbook-airport-breaks-internet-connection-entire-network.html
but the solution didn't work. When I deleted the three files mentioned in the solution in that thread, my problem is not solved.
If you have any ideas or need more information I would love to hear from you.
Thanks guys.

Yes it is possible that the two machines are creating a Computer-to-Computer network and are not going through the Express.

WRT54G V.7 makes internet connection instabile

Hi all,
For two weeks, I've been using my new WRT54G V.7 router. I bought it, because I a got a 20Mb/sec connection and I wanted to connect my PC (wired), my Xbox 360 (wired) and my Nintendo Wii (Wireless Wifi) at the same time.
Though internet in general is very fast, I've noticed that the router makes the connection very instabile. When I play online movies (mpeg, quiktime, etc.) or when I down- and upload torrents via ABC, the connection drops to almost 0 KB/Sec every now and then. That causes (in the case of movies) stutterings in sound and picture and (in the case of ABC) up- and download rates of 0 KB/sec. After a while, this even effects the 'rest' of the computer, for instance when I play music with Winamp, it gets audio stutters as well, when I'm using internet.
I checked and when I'm not connected to the internet or when I connect the ISP's modem directly to my computer, there's no problem.
I tried everything I could. Upgraded to firmware 7.0.4 correctly, optimalized the MTU settings, switched between static and dynamic IP, etc. But nothing works.
Does anyone have an idea what I can do about this problem? I have the fastest internet connection availabe at the moment, but can't really enjoy it this way. So please, anyone?
Patrick

I have/had exactly the same set-up (20 Mbps downstream) and stability issues. I have installed the latest firmware for my Intel Pro 2200BG client which has resolved many of the problems. I further decreased the number of concurrent threads on my torrent client. Next to this I have enabled SSID broadcast and changed many of the new parameters in the Intel driver (broadcast power, long tx preamble etc). My stability issues have now been resolved.
There is another thread under my name that lists exactly all the changes I have made.
Hope this works for you too,
Regards,
Olaf

All devices on network lose internet connection when Dell laptop connected

I have successfully setup my AEBS network and am using two wireless clients--HP printer and Xbox access point (both 802.11 G) and a wired iMac that also is connected via Airport (so I can move it around if i want). I tried connecting my Dell Latitude D830 wirelessly and within a few minutes of connecting the AEBS loses internet connectivity. Unplugging and restarting the AEBS restores the internet but it just drops off again in less than 10 minutes. My question is, what might be causing this and what can I do about it? One peculiar thing to me is that I am using the WEP security option since the Xbox doesn't seem to support WAP2. When connecting the Xbox it reports the network as WEP but the HP printer and Dell Laptop but suggested the network was indeed WAP even though I'm clearing using WEP security. Maybe it's nothing but wanted to add for completeness.
The Dell is running Vista Enterprise edition.
Thanks for any help.

I've noticed a similar issue. Any time my HP/Vista laptop is connected to my AEBS it loses the network connection at inconsistant time intervals(~10-15 min).

Slow networking and internet connections after update 10.5.6

hello everybody,
i just read a post on a german newswire about slow internet connection since leopard update 10.5.6 concerning the Fritz!Box.
i'm in france and experience exactly the same problems working over a standard adsl-provider box.

Yes, it's a known issue (at least on these forums) There have been several other threads within the past two weeks that discuss this in great detail.

Local area network disable internet connection

Hello,
i have a strange problem, i explain
Computer A win XP ip 192.168.2.231 with onboard network card
Computer B win 98 ip 192.168.2.232 with pci network card
Router Linksys WRT54GS, with ip 192.168.2.230, but i use it just like a hub because i don't have here internet connection
both computers connected with cable and all work nice.
Then i added a wireless/USB Planet because i want to connect it to another router in another building to get internet connection, so i connected this Planet wireless/USB to computer A, all work nice, i get signal internet connection and ip 192.168.1.102
but ..... and that is the problem, when i connect computer B win local area it disable my internet connection, i try to ping some domain name from computer A, where Planet adaptor is installed, but it try to find this domain name in local area instead to route in internet connection, if i deactivate local area ..... internet connection work like a charm.
I tried to change several ip groups, all in 192.168.1.x, tried to disable, enable DHCP server in router, tried to change subnet mask, tried to use proxy, to play with router configuration...... nothing it not work.
So i think something about network onboard conflicts, so i installed a new pci card in computer A, ouffff nothing when i active local network i stop to have internet connection, i tried also to install another USB wireless adaptor and connect it via wireless with router, nothing ... when i active local network i stop to get internet connections
So the only way to get internet connection is do disable local network oufffff
any suggestions about ?
tks
Max

No i don't have wireless card in 98 computer, it have only pci network card.
Windows xp computer have on board network card, local network, and USB Planet adatptor for internet.
Forgot to say that, both compuers are connected to router1 WRT54GS, i use it just for local area network and printers
Via wileress USB Planet adaptor i want to connect to another router WRT54GS located in another building, all work nice, i get internet etc... my problem is local are, when i active it .. internet connection stop to work

had the same problem. windows doesn't see the network card in device manager. what I did is disconnect completely my power cord from my psu , press the cmos clear button and wait 5 min. I reconnect my power cable and power on my pc and voila my network card was recognized by windows has a Ethernet controller. Then I installed the killer driver suite and it work ok. Be sure that you enable your network card in the bios.

Can I use Apple TV on network without internet connection?

I'm helping someone who has an Apple TV (version1) and their router and internet connection is down. We need to use the AppleTV today to stream a video from her mac to the TV connected to the Apple TV for a presentation. Can we just hook up the Mac and the AppleTV to a switch via Ethernet (or connnect wirelessly to an AirPort Base station) and stream the video without being connected to the internet?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't just use a switch, but you can use a router or wifi access point without access to the internet, but you will need a DHCP server to give each device on the network an IP address.
You may also be able to connect the Mac and Apple TV directly with an ethernet cable, I've tested this with the Apple TV 1, but not with the Apple TV 2.

HT4199 I am having the problem of "connection timed out" suddenly after almost two years of use of the same internet connection.

I had left my apple to download an update on OS Lion overnight and found that the Mac had been disconnected from the internet with a window showing the words 'Connection timed out". I have tried all sort of stuff including turning off and switching on my modem, the Mac, deleting entirely the key chain access (at the loss of all my other passwords which I am now rebuilding), deleting the network in my Settings and trying Assist Me to register again, all in VAIN!
Please help.

Connection timed out to what? Everything? If so, then before wiping your disk, reinstalling, further deleting your keychain entries or other related activities, please check with your ISP and see if there's a network outage, or if you've exceeded some download quota.
