Tying together 2 Linksys Wireless AP/Routers

I have 2 Linksys Router/Wireless Access Points and wish to connect them together. I know the basics of wiring a network and I'm just asking here to confirm if I have to change the IP address of the second router to be able to access the setup page for that router. My primary router is a WRT54G Wireless G Router Version 6 hooked into my Wildblue Satellite Internet Modem, and my secondary router is a BEFW11S4 Wireless B Router Version 4. Currently I have them separate from one another and using a my second computer, I have the setup page loaded on my BEFSW11S4 Router.

Try this link ....that shows how to connect two router with one another ....

  • Will Linksys wireless routers be updated to the final 802.11n spec when its finished?

    Will Linksys wireless routers be updated to the final 802.11n spec when its finished? I read that most can be updated to the final spec with a firmware update.

    I can't see why they wouldn't be. There'd be a whole lot of people upset if they didn't...

  • Problems with my LinkSys wireless routers since getting AT&T u-verse

    I recently installed AT&T u-verse. Every since it's hit or miss on whether I can connect to my two linksys wireless routers. Sometimes it connects fine but other times I can try for hours and never obtain an IP address. I never have a problem connecting to the 2wire wireless router which was installed when u-verse was installed but it doesn't have coverage for my whole house.
    The AT@T tech says the 2Wire has problems with routers being configured behind their router??? He said that I need to set my Linksys wireless routers up as access points???
    Anyone have any suggestions on what to try? Anyone else have issues like this after u-verse was installed?
    Thanks

    I've had AT&T U-verse since March, and I wish it wasn't the best option in my area. I have been through 3 of those 2-Wire Gateways and as best I can track down it's that DHCP Server. I have a BEFSR41v3 (and yes, I am NOT using the WAN port, just the switch at IP 192.168.1.10) and a WAP54G (IP 192.168.1.11) using WPA2-PSK and have been using for years now. AT&T tried telling me it was my wireless devices, which strangely enough worked PERFECTLY fine on my Linksys hardware with the same SSID/Key when I was with TWC. My wireless devices would work fine for a while, then gradually start having problems until by 2 weeks they are completely unable to negotiate an IP from the DHCP. Called AT&T, they reset the gateway, and everything works for 2 more weeks. Most my computers (wired or WiFi) are manually IP configured. Only my laptop (also used on a college WiFi) and visitors use the DHCP server (and the AT&T Boxes).  THUS far I've been reasonably successful by limiting the AT&T Gateway to 3 addresses for my Boxes, letting it issue them to the TV's, then adding my linksys router (ignoring the WAN port and using DHCP on with an allocation of 15 addresses) and setting the Linksys WAP to the #4 port. This weird setup now gets short lasting fits in the form of "Limited Connectivity" for my WiFi devices using Dyamic IP.  It can still access the LAN perfect, only that device has no Internet Access, and Windows says i'm being blocked by a Firewall. It self resolves in a few minutes without me doing anything and it MIGHT come once or so a month, or until they run another update which seems to ALWAYS reset that gateway (I've given up changing the password and now keep a txt on every system since it seems to reset at least monthly). A few days ago it's started giving me IP conflicts that disappeared within 1-2 minutes, which is odd since it is my manual IP's getting the conflicts... It did that for 2 days then hasn't since.
    Currently I'm wired as...
    AT&T Gateway 192.1681.254 w/ 3 DHCP range 1.160-163, WiFi disabled, and 3 LAN ports to 2 TV's and my BEFSR41
    BEFSR41 192.168.1.10 w/ 15 DHCP range 1.60-74, WAN port unused, 4 LAN ports to 1 Desktop, 2 unmanaged Netgear 1000 switches, and 1 to the WAP
    WAP54G 192.168.1.11 with it's gateway set to 192.168.1.10 
    1 Netgear switch provides wired access for the entertainment center (PS3, DVD player, DVR, etc) and open ports for visitors
    Other Netgear switch is upstairs and runs to 2 additional desktops and one more cable box...
    All my wired NICs are set to a 1.2x address and all configured WiFi devices (Wii and a pair of Android phones) i have on a 1.3x.
    Manual IP with a 255.255.255.0 mask and gateway 192.168.1.254, manually entering the DNS from the gateway's Broadband Details page 
    As far as I've been able to test and observe, that gateway is tempermental (and intermittent so tech support can't EVER find a problem conveniently) with anything using the DHCP other than the cable boxes. My manual set devices have had no problems other than that strange IP conflict that popped up on 3 computers, bugged me 2 days, then just never came back (also ironically the monday i was going to call a tech support about it)
    I've attempted to disable the DHCP entirely from the gateway and only use my Linksys DHCP. That seemed to work for a few hours untill, i'm guessing, the leases expired. Then all 3 TV's stopped. Everything getting it's IP manually or from the Linksys continued just fine, internet and all. The cable boxes only returned when i re-activated the 2-Wire's DHCP Server.
    I would like to try using the Linksys router to isolate my LAN (and everything else i can) from that 2-Wire with a cascade, just link across on a single static IP to dodge that DHCP, but i havn't been able to get the cablebox upstairs to work off the Linksys DHCP. Even then, I'm not sure how i can get a network split to work. If i only isolated the DHCP over my WiFi, they would still at least loose file-sharing with the my File/Media/Backup PC downstairs. Move that to the other side, then the PC's upstairs loose access. As is it's MOSTLY stable though, i just have to pull apart the gateway and cut down it's DHCP range so my devices will actually get an IP from my linksys. If i don't take away the 2-wires, i still get a high IP fail rate. It would be great if i'm overlooking some way to force all DHCP IP requests -OTHER- than the cable boxes to get their IP from the Linksys and not the 2-Wire
    Far as jdaley, I havn't tried to set a cascade since I'm having problems figuring out a means to isolate the boxes (and 2-wire) away from the LAN since one box is upstairs sharing a single cable with the computers there. Someone else seemed to report a success that way. If not that, then only other thing I can think of might be to just manually set all your WiFi IP addresses by hand
    Thanks for any other ideas on dodging this 2-Wire's DHCP I'd really appreciate it. I'm really hoping i'm just overlooking something SIMPLE.

  • Linksys Wireless Routers and RoadRunner Internet ISP

    I have been using a Linksys wireless router for over 2 years now without any problem and then last night I lost total connectivity.
    via the Router, I can connect to the modem directly (HardWire) and I am able to get to the internet, but if I try to connect the Wireless router to the Modem and wither wireless or hardwired to the router I can't get any connectivity.
    I am at a loss, I even went out and purchased a new Linksys router thinking that the old one went bad.
    I get the run around from ISP they said that it's a 3rd party router so they can't tell me anything.  And suggest that I just leave the router out.
    I am at the end of my rope, any suggestions that would assist.
    I am not able to ping anything through the router on the PC, but I can pink from the router to the internet.  using the diagnosis option on the router.  When I try to fix connection using Windows Vista I get a message that says it can't connect to the DNS Server.
    Thank you for your Help

  • Linksys Wireless-B Router & Access Point question

    Ok, I have a Linksys wireless B router (cant remember the model name off of the top of my head) and it connected to a desktop that I have.  I just purchased a Buffalo Wireless-G MIMO router which has the ability to act as an access point.  I was wondering if I set the Wireless-B router up to my desktop where my modem is, and then turn on the Access Point feature with my Buffalo router, would the two brands work together or no?  Also, if they did work and the Buffalo router acted as an access point would I be able to connect my PS3 via one of the ethernet port on the back of the Buffalo access point?  Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
    I just purchased this Buffalo router after returning the Linksys Wireless-G with SpeedBooster and having numerous problems with my Verizon DSL (Westell 6100 modem).

    Yes you can.  Here is a LINK to use as a reference.  The only thing you will run into is the routers IP's may be different so make sure they are in the same range.  Example router 1:192.168.1.1  and router 2:192.168.1.2 but it may vary depending on what you want your private IP range to be. 
    The router you want to set as a AP make sure it has the latest firmware and has the SSID/security all set up.  Make sure the IP for the router is set then disable the DHCP.  Then connect router 1 via numbered port to the number 1 port of the second router.

  • Can Airport Express n join a Linksys  wireless network ?

    If I already am able to connect to a g airport express, is there anything else that would be keeping me from getting a n unit to connect? I have a Linksys Wireless-N broadband router. I was able to start and go through the initial setup of adding two new n units but when they restarted my mac said there was an error in connecting to them. Am I overlooking something, is my system obsolete or inappropriate or is there something wrong with the units?
    Any advice is well appreciated.

    Since Apple designed the "extend" feature on their products to only work with other Apple routers, it would be extremely unliklely that this would be compatible with a Linksys product.

  • LinkSys Wireless Card connects to "Access Point" but no internet connection

    I have 2 LinkSys wireless cards. one is 802.11g, the other b. The signal for the Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi Wireless Base Station is very strong, but when I try to connect, it says "You are connected to the access point, but the Internet cannot be found". No internet access, and I can't ping anything (Ping request could not find host...). And of course the printer hooked to the AirPort is also not recognized. My iMac and Macbook both have no problems connecting to the network. There is no problem with ethernet connection to the Airport. Is it possible to have a compatibility problem between the Linksys and Airport hardware? I thought as long as they were were compatible 802.11, they would work together. The cards had no problem with my old DLink router or other hotspots in the city. Is there a set-up I missed for setting up the PC-based cards with the AirPort?

    Is your wireless network secured?
    The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

  • Linksys Wireless Router: WRT54G Version: 2

    I was just curious, since I have been talking to someone about the Linksys Routers and they were saying that WRT54G Versions 3, 4 & 5, all work successfully. Then when I asked him about Version 2, he said that he THINKS that the router will work.
    Can someone please give me an answer: Will the Linksys Wireless Router: WRT54G Version: 2 work with a MacBook Pro?!

    I get from 3 to 6 Mbps wireless and wired, which is considerably slower than my other Windows-based desktop and notebook over my 30 Mbps cable connection. My Dell notebook and desktop consistently get 15 Mbps wireless and 22 to 28 Mbps wired. Mac OS is relatively new to me, so I haven't had a chance to read as much I need to about optimizing connection speeds. But, I can either fix it by optimizing it, or perhaps Apple will come out with a firmware update since some people have been complaining about slow connections speeds and dropping connections.
    In my work, I have several computers going at the same time, and for typical Web surfing, I see no difference in speed between the 6 Mps on the Mac and the 15 Mpbs on the Dell---it's really limited anyway by the Web site server. I do notice a difference in download times, but even for very large files, the difference is noticeable but not a problem. And, there has never been a problem streaming video or downloading trailers, etc.
    Of course, only five years ago, my cable connection was first 128 Kbps (which was high speed then), then they jumped it up 1 Mpbs, then 10 Mbps, and now 30 Mbps---so the 6 Mbps on the Mac still seems pretty fast to me.
    Speed will always be slower over the wireless compared to your Ethernet connection, but once you get speeds in excess of 1 Mbps, you only see the difference in download times, surfing is the same.

  • Conflict with Linksys Wireless C

    I've recently installed a Linksys Wireless Networking WMP54G card in my desktop and apparently it is conflicting with my Audigy 2 Soundblaster card (i.e. each works fine by itself, but the system keeps re-booting if they are installed together and won't boot into Windows XP at all).
    I'm using Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 and Linksys tech support has been no help at all, simply telling me it's an OS issue and there's nothing they can do. I already tried manually assigning IRQ numbers to each of the PCI slots in the BIOS, but that doesn't seem to have done anything, since when I view "System Information" in windows, the IRQ for both the Linksys card and the Audigy are changed to IRQ 7 (instead of 0 & , as I had manually assigned in the bios).
    Does anyone know if there's a way to change the IRQ setting on the Soundblaster Audigy 2 card, so that it doesn't conflict with my Linksys card? Or, alternati'vely, is anyone familiar with any XP settings that I can change to get XP to assign a different IRQ to the Soundblaster card?
    At least a link to any possible information would be very much appreciated. It's been three days now of trying to get these two cards to work together and I'm about to throw the whole thing out a second story window!
    Thanks!
    :angry:

    check your bios if the option Plug&play os is enabled.
    This because Linksys is right, windows handles the irq/dma sharing automatically.
    And as you experience not always the right way.
    Maybe you can move one of the two cards in another pci-slot(move them as far as possible away from each other(Linksys+Creative card).
    i guess you can better contact M$...(if you've a legal windows).
    Or try a Linux boot cd(li've cd linux that runs from cd like knoppix). Because if you've the same problem with a linux li've cd then it must be a hardware issue, if it works fine with Linux Li'veCd then it's a Windows issue like Linksys try to explain.
    knoppix li've CD: (download image and burn it to cd-r, then start computer(boot) with this cd-r in it)

    oh "and I'm about to throw the whole thing out a second story window!" advise: throw the soundcard away!
    p.s. congratulations with your Wireless Fidelity hardware...WiFi=freedom !!!(compared to commercial isp's)Message Edited by www_96KHz_tk on -4-2005 2:05 PM

  • Linksys Wireless G 2.4 GH/4 Port Switch

    How many users can stay connected to my wireless?

    What is the model number of your wireless router?
    In theory, most Linksys wireless routers can support up to 32 wireless users at one time.  However, all users must share a fixed amount of wireless bandwidth, so the more users, the slower the wireless will run.
    As a practical matter, it depends on how fast your Internet connection is, whether you are running wireless g or n, and how much data (bandwidth) each user is demanding.  Additionally, it also depends on whether you are running a pure (all wireless g or all wireless n) network, or a mixed (both wireless g and wireless n) network.  Mixed networks run slower because the router must constantly "shift gears" between wireless g and wireless n.
    Typically, if users are just surfing the Internet, you can probably happily support about 4 to 8 wireless users at one time, on a typical pure wireless g network.  On the other hand, a single user running a "resource hog" program (for example, many peer-to-peer (P2P) programs) can seriously slow down all the other wireless users.

  • Airport Express with LinkSys Wireless connection

    I already have a Linksys wireless router working in my house and I have a Power Mac G5 but NO wireless capabilities on it.
    I was wondering if I could use an Airport Express and get the signal from my current wireless router, then use an ethernet cable to connect Airport Express to my Power Mac...
    Is this possible?

    Hello jalex85. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I was wondering if I could use an Airport Express and get the signal from my current wireless router, then use an ethernet cable to connect Airport Express to my Power Mac...
    That will depend on the model and firmware version of your Linksys router. In order to achieve what you are trying to do, you will need to set up a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) between the Linksys and the AirPort. Very few non-AirPorts are WDS-compatible with the AirPorts.
    The only Linksys routers that I am aware of that are known to work are the WRT54G or WRT54GS (not v5) models. If you do have one of these, a quick Google-search, using keywords: Linksys AirPort WDS, will come up with at least a dozen articles on those who have been successful with this.

  • I have two wireless dsl routers.  Router A is connected t...

    I have two wireless dsl routers.  Router A is connected to the internet, Router B is acting as a local wireless/wired LAN hub.  The wireless clients cannot connect to both of these routers simultaneously, so I bought a linksys WET200 to act as a bridge between the two wireless networks.  I have connected the WET200 to  Router A via a wired connection, and have bridged to router B wirelssly.  However I am not able to route internet traffic over this connection. Am I trying to do something that is not possible? 

    OK, so a wire the bridge to router B. Do I tell router B that the gateway for all non-local trafffic is the bridge IP, or the IP of router A? currently A is on 192.168.1.1, bridge is default 192.168.1.226 and router b is 192.168.1.250. Router b provides dhcp for the clients in range 100-150, and I have some static ips in 151-200. problem is no-one can ping 192.168.1.1

  • Linksys Wireless-G BR W/ SpdBooster (WRT54GS-CA) questions

    Hi, I'm thinking of purchasing a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router With SpeedBooster (WRT54GS-CA).
    Does it have url/domain filters? I know it has Parental Controls but I'm not interested in purchasing that service or using PC. I'd like to have url/domain filters as a free service.
    What other Linksys wireless routers have url filters and Quality of Service components?

    The WRT54GS have a Website Blocking by URL Address, and Website blocking by Keyword;  and it also have a QoS.

  • Linksys Wireless Router Conflicting with Wireless Keyboard and Mouse?

    I am getting ready to purchase a Linksys Wireless-N Router with a PCI Wireless-N Adapter (2). Will I have a conflit with my Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse? I have two home computers that I want to set up with a wireless router. Should I use a Linksys Wireless-N Home Router or a Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router? Which Wireless-N PCI Adapters should I use?

    No you should not have a problem with the router conflicting with the wireless keyboard/mouse.  They are on a different frequency all together from the wireless router.

  • Linksys wireless double life?

    Hi,
    I recently bought a linksys wireless and i've installed it according to the manual.
    Now when i fire up my laptop, i find the wireless, and it connects. But after a while (10min) it disappears, and a standard linksys unsecured network comes in it's place. Then again after some time, the secured network (which i called "lucyinthesky") is coming back again together with the unsecured "linksys" network.
    Really annoying. Can somebody tell me why my router has a double personality?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    I have never heard of that. The wireless is usually powered up with the correct configuration. What router do you use (model and version from the label underneath)? Do you run the latest firmware version? You can see the firmware version at http://192.168.1.1/ either on the upper right or on the Status tab.
    I guess, you can see 2 networks for a moment because the computer still learned about the first network and it takes a while until it removes it from the list of seen networks.
