Using a WRT54G v5 For Isolated Wireless

Hello,
I am wondering if it is possible to use a WRT54G for the following.  I have a cable modem/router combo that is attached to a larger network.  Can I attach a WRT54G to the cable modem/router's LAN ports and provide isolated internet access via the WRT54G's Wireless?  I have attempted to set this up.  However in practice I have run in to a problem.  Though users on the WRT54G can not browse by FQDN, they can still browse devices on the WAN side of the WRT54G network via IP address.  Is there a way to restrict this from the WRT54G?
Thank You.

Who is your Internet Service Provider ?
Yes, you can configure WRT54G with cable modem .
You can follow this link to configure the cable modem with the router.

  • Using a WRT54G as a second wireless and wired router on a LAN

    I have setup a WRT54G as a second wired and wireless router on my local LAN.
    The WAN wired side of the WRT54G is setup completely DHCP. It gets IP 192.168.1.104 most of the time. (I have used a PC with DHCP on theis ethernet wire and it gets to the internet OK). 
    The LAN side of the WRT54G is setup as 192.168.20.1 and all wireless and wired devices connecting to it get ips of 192.168.20.xxx and communicate between them selfs perfectly.  However, none of them can get to the internet through the WRT54G.  What have I done wrong?
    Thank You

    I guess your WRT54G is not connected to Internet directly, but it's connected to another router that has Internet access.
    If this is the case, you can configure this device as access point/hub only in order to get Internet access from the other router. Ignore the WAN connection on this WRT54G, just connect both router's LAN port with crossover cable.. After that configure the WRT54G's wireless setting. You can get more detailed info on how to do it in following article:
    Quick Guide to Configure Wireless Router as Access Point

  • Using a WRT54GS to set up wireless printing

    I have set up my desktop to use file and printer sharing, at least I have the hand graffic with the printers I have. I am able to ping the desktop from the laptop and I am also able to access the internet through the wireless laptop. I have loaded the printer driver onto the wireless laptop, but I cannot seem to find out how to get the wireless laptop to use the printer. The IP addresses are all 192.168..... I have been through the asklinksys pages and have found no help. Any help would be appreciated.

  • [Solved For Now] Wireless Not Working on HP Pavillion 15-n278sa

    EDIT: I seem to have fixed it for now by following this tutorial, I don't know how long it will last though: http://askubuntu.com/questions/337785/w … -c55-a5281
    Hi there guys,
    I have been having some problems with my Wireless under arch on my lapotop, which is a HP Pavillion 15-n278sa. I've had the wireless working twice before, but a reboot broke it both times. The Ethernet works perfectly fine. The first time I have no idea how I got it to work, it was a combination of a bunch of different threads and eventually I modprobed the wireless adapter and it worked (this no longer works).
    This is the output of when I try to connect to the wireless using wifi-menu:
    Job for [email protected] failed. See 'systemctl status [email protected]' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
    So I run systemctl status [email protected] and journalctl -xn and this is the output of the both respectively:
    Systemctl output:

    If there is anything more I can provide I would happily do it, I really need the wireless to work under this laptop. I know it works, I have had it working under Arch and it works under Ubuntu no problem. I am not sure if it is a driver problem, or if it's a problem with netctl. It looks more like a problem with netctl as after netctl updated it started working, and after a reboot it broke again.
    Thanks so very much everyone,

  • Can I use my WRT54G wireless router as a signal range extender?

    Hello, I have a couple wireless routers in my home, and basically I guess I can only use one as the main wireless router.
    I'd really like to know if I can use one, specifically my linksys WRT54G wireless G router as just a range extender for the wireless signal from the main wireless router. It would save me a bunch so that I wouldn't need to go buy an entirely new device for this. If there is ANY way.
    please help
    thank you

    You can connect as many WRTs as you like to your network if you wire them together. They create a big roaming network then (or several different networks if you want that). You have to set up the "internal" WRTs as access points, though, i.e. you don't connect them through the Internet port to your network but through a numbered LAN port. Also make sure to turn off the DHCP server on the internal WRTs and to assign them a free LAN IP address in your LAN (usually 192.168.1.2,3,4 will work).
    In a roaming network there is no main router. All wireless routers are the same in this respect. Your "main" router is only defined by the fact, that it hosts the internet connection. But from the side of the wireless is does not matter. For a roaming network, make sure to assign all access points the identical SSID and wireless security settings. The only difference in the wireless settings should be the channels, where you should use different ones if possible. 1,6, and 11 are non-overlapping and thus are best to be used.
    O.K. This was with a wired connection. If you actually need a wireless bridge, i.e., connect to access points through a wireless connection without any wired connection between them, then you have two options:
    1. Buy access points like the WAP54G or wireless bridges like the WET54G. They have can be configured for wireless bridging. A WRT54G with standard Linksys firmware does not have this capability.
    2. Get a 3rd party firmware for your WRT54G if there is one available for your hardware version. I think not all hardware versions support 3rd party firmware. Check on the label underneath the router to see what hardware version you have. Search for "WRT54G" on wikipedia. You'll find an article about the different hardware versions, which 3rd party firmware projects exist and where to download it. 3rd party firmware usually adds functions like wireless bridging to a WRT. I know HyperWRT+Thibor works well on my WRT54Gv2. Remember, however, that uploading a 3rd party firmware will void your warrenty...

  • Can I use my WRT54GS as an internet & printer wireless router?

    ... or is the WRT54GS only for internet & I need to use a different product for wireless printing?
    Thank you for any help you can give,
    Michele

    Is your Printer is a Wireless Printer or its an Normal USP port Printer ?
    If your printer is an Normal USB Port printer then you need to buy a Print Server ( WPS54G or WPSM54G). So once you configure your Print server you will be able to Print from all your computers Wired / Wirelessly. 

  • Can I use the Time Capsule strictly for system backup and continue to use my Airport Extreme for all my wireless needs

    I want to use the Apple Time Capsule as an external drive and continue to use my Airport Extreme for all my wireless needs. Can I do that? The reason I ask is that my Time Machine utility cannot find the TIme Capsule - it only shows me the Airport Extreme, even when I "Rescan". SO I am unable to use the Time Capsule.

    You will need to connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
    Perform a "hard reset" on the Time Capsule by holding in the reset button for 9-10 seconds, then give it another minute to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
    Open AirPort Utility, select the Time Capsule, and click Manual Setup
    Click the Time Capsule tab located below the row of icons to assign a name to the Time Capsule, a device password, and adjust Time Zone settings.
    Next, click the Wireless tab located to the right of the Time Capsule tab
    Change the setting for Wireless Mode to Off
    Click the Internet icon, then click the Internet Connection tab
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Click Update at the lower right to save the settings and allow 30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart to a green light.
    You are all set

  • Using D-Link DI-624 Router for "G" Wireless Purposes

    I want to use an old D-link router in another part of the house to provide wireless "G" connectivity to my older devices, so I can use 5 GHz band for "N" connectivity exclusively via my Airport Extreme (Older version, not Gigabit).
    I go upstairs, plug the D-Links WAN port to the jack that connects to one of the Airport Extreme's LAN ports downstairs. I shut off dhcp server on the D-Link. I turn on the D-link's wireless capability (unencrypted for now, just for testing).
    When I plug a computer in to one of the LAN jacks of the D-Link, I have full connectivity to the internet. And I see the wireless signal from the D-Link which has a unique SSID. Unfortunately, while I can connect to the D-Link wirelessly, I cannot get to the internet.
    I'm sure I have something configured wrong.
    Questions:
    1. I have the Airport Extreme set to hand out ip addresses in the 10. range. Should I set up the D-Link router to get a static IP address from the Airport Extreme? How do I do that. Some sites suggest a 10 series IP address, but outside the range of the DHCP addresses that the Airport Extreme usually hands out.
    2. Any ideas on configuring the DI-624? I've shut off DHCP server (everyone says to do that). But Are there any other settings?
    3. Some tech help sites suggest not using the WAN Port at all on the D-link, but rather, connect to one of the LAN ports. Does this make any sense? Going from one of the LAN ports on the Airport Extreme to one of the D-Link's LAN ports.
    4. Once I get the wireless G network running, I'll fix the encryption.
    I think that in order to answer this question you'll need some first hand knowledge of the DI-624. Unfortunately, the DI-624 is now a discontinued product and there is little information available on D-link's web site.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    If a Mac plugged into a LAN port on the D-Link gets internet access, the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) and D-Link are both configured properly.
    The wireless side of the D-Link should also be acting properly since LAN access is working.
    The most likely problem is that your Mac has incorrect DNS information in the System Preferences->Network preference pane->AirPort area.

  • Lost Connection to C&C Generals Zero Hour Online using the WRT54G v5 Wireless Network

    I have this problem playing Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour online. I'm using the WRT54G v5 Wireless Network & when I'm in the game lobby, it kicks me off saying, "Lost connection to C&C Generals Zero Hour Online". This happens quite often variing on me entering & exiting rooms or other players entering & exiting rooms that I'm in. But it doesn't occur when I'm accually play a game with someone. It also does not happen at all when I'm connected directly to the internet connection so I know the network is causing it.
    I've never had any problem with this game on any other wireless network types before. I've tried port forwarding with a static IP address, disabling firewalls,  upgrading firmware, etc... No good. I've done some google research & found that varios other people on other forum sites have the same problem, it also occurs on  another computer of mine. 
    Is there some kind of feature on this network that isn't on any others? One wireless network specificly that I've found that the game works on is the WRT54GS.
    Any replies will be greatly appriecitated.
    Message Edited by Me Myself AndPi on 02-20-2008 03:13 PM

    Maybe I would if I hadn't stopped playing the game 3.5 years ago. You may want to check the date on those previous message. But here's what I remember:
    Turns out nothing worked the fix the problem. Not turning of a firewall, not port forwarding, not updating fireware, nothing. There must be a jitter on the routher that triggers the game into thinking it gets disconnected.
    Many other users on the forums posted the same problem with this one router too & no one ever figured out a solution. Eventually that router broke & my family bought the WRT54GS2, which worked perfectly.

    For some reason, your Mac doesn't recognise that a keyboard is present, so it looks for a wireless keyboard. The question is, why doesn't your Mac recognise that a keyboard is attached?
    First, you need to make sure you remove all peripherals, especially USB peripherals (the keyboard is on the USB bus). Then restart holding down the Shift key. This should boot in Safe mode. If the computer boots normally (not in safe mode) and the keyboard is still not working, try resetting the SMC

    If that still doesn't fix the problem, then the keyboard (or its controller) is probably damaged and needs to be replaced.
