Using linksys router

OK have just got first mac after many years with PC. Have PC lan going through Linksys router.
Have got latest firmware. updates to latest osx
using the ethernet cable life is fine
on wireless(and I have tried this with 3 routers) its sad. even hitting the router is slow(very slow) to bring up a page , yet the ping time seems reasonable.
I will probably just find an ethernet wireless bridge , but any ideas. I don't think this is specific to a router. using WPA security , DHCP.
thanks

ok i sorted this out
got a buffalo access point
used the buffalo to connect over wireless to linksys
ethernet into buffalo
still cant get airport on mac to talk direct to linksys

How to use Linksys router as bridge?

I am trying to extend the wifi signal by using another router as bridge
Source router is Netgear N150 b/g/n and here are the settings
IP 192.168.254.1
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.160.254.254
Channel number is on auto
I have a Ubuquiti antenna
Here is the webpage for the antenna
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004EGI3CI/ref=oh_aui_...
I connected Linksys E900 router to this antenna and then another cable is connecting the router to my laptop
To access antenna settings I typed 192.168.1.20 and accessed the antenna settings I chosed bridge option
Then accessed internet explorer typed in 192.168.1.1 for linksys router settings
Here is the linksys settings
IP 192.168.1.43
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.1.1
Channel number is on auto
I choosed the channel number different than the one from the original signal and chose bridge as option
While it was connected I tried to surf the net but it did not work
I unplugged it form the router and checked the wifi signals and saw my wifi signal very strong
But tried to connect but it says can not connect
Can someone help me?.
Is default gateway supposed to be the same in main router and the bridge router and the antenna?

You need to verify with the e900 that it actually has the Bridge mode feature, it it does not, the only other thing you can do is to run it in wired AP mode:

If you you an actual bridge mode feature, and the e900 will not work, I suggested reviewing this as an alternative:

No longer using Linksys router. Should I uninstall Cisco LEAP, PEAP, and EAP?

Should I uninstall the Cisco LEAP, PEAP, and EAP programs if I am no longer using a Linksys router? I am replacing with an Asus router.
thanks,
KG

Hi! It's best to uninstall them all if you are not going to use them for the sake of freeing some memory on your computer. Should you change your mind and get a new Linksys router one of these days, I am sure it will come with its own installation software anyway.

Lost connection to other computers using 'LinkSys' router

DSL modem is connected to my Linksys wireless router. I have two other computers connected using an Ethernet cable (coming from the router). Yesterday my internet (SBC-Yahoo DSL) was down for the entire day. In the past both computers connected to the router would work just fine. In fact the laptop would work either connected via the Ethernet cable or with a wireless connection. Today neither of the computers connected to the router will connect. I have not changed any of the settings on either computer. Have reset the DSL modem (turned off and back on) and have reset the router (reset button). Any suggestions on this problem?

Can you connect to the router?
Open a browser and go to 192.168.1.1
Verify the configuration options.
Also make note of the firmware version.
Then, for the moment, bypass the router and direct connect to the modem. Can you connect to internet then?
If so, check the Linksys web site to see if there is a firmware update for your router.
On my (wired) Linksys, after one of the OS updates (I forget which one) I could no longer get to internet until I updated the firmware on the router.
Since there has been an OS security update in the last week, and if you downloaded/installed it, then your problem began, its possible that is the problem.

Using Linksys router with Time Capsule / Airtunes...

Hi,
Does anyone have any idea how I can use my old Linksys WRT54G wireless router with my Time Capsule in such a way that the WRT54G provides a b/g network and I can have my Time Capsule provide just 802.11n for the best possible speed?
I have the two connected via Ethernet (TC connected directly to my cable modem) but don't seem to be able to get things to work.
I know I must be on the edge of getting this to work but am obviously missing the final step...
Cheers in advance for any help you can give,
Adi :o)

Mac osX question regarding persistent LAN problem using Linksys router

We are eight months into this problem.
I had this up on the apple help board 6 months ago but could only get a band aid fix for the problem.
(The "band aid" is explained on the link below.)
We have since exhausted 3 other professional help folks.
We are using the WRT54GS ver. 5.
Before we were using BEFSx41 ver. 2 and we had same problem.
The full description of the problem can be found on this page...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9062933#9062933
ANY well thought out suggestions deeply appreciated.
Thanks.

Sorry dude, definitely sounds like a mac problem (i.e. editing the cnf files on mac s). Unless you are blocking a special service, which you probably aren't, then its definitely not the router. The reason I say that is all traffic gets transferred at layer 2 of the OSI model, in this case. IP addressing is layer 3 (router/network layer). Short answer is all traffic gets "switched" via mac address, not ip in this case. Your router here is more like a switch that provides dhcp and a default gateway to get to the internet. Any unknown mac (media access control, not mac/apple) traffic will get "routed" to the wan.

Cannot conect router WRT54gc linksys router using windows 7

when I connect router correctly via modem I get message not connected no matter what I do I am convinced I am doing nothing wrong having used linksys router a number of times before about 2 years ago using XP cannot someone help before I climb the wall to throw myself off please I am now connected to router now to get on internet to this site help please wanted

Let me know the name of the ISP- means it’s a cable connection or a DSL connection? Do you get the internet connection when you connect the modem directly to the computer? If yes, what IP address do you get on the computer? To check the IP address that you are getting from the Router...
You can check the IP address in the following manner:
# Click on Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt.
# A black pop up box should come up, type: "ipconfig /all" …
There check the IP address and Default Gateway under LAN….

Hook up Linksys Router to ValetPlus?

I just purchased a TV with internet capabilities so I'd like to hook it up to my home network but it's way too far away for the direct connection they would like (no wireless adapter). My home network is current up and running using the Valet Plus M20.
I have two old Linksys routers, the WRT54G2 and the WRT600N, can I wirelessly hook up one of these routers to my ValetPlus? If so, how do I go about doing it?
Thanks!

It is not possible to use Linksys router as a wireless bridge.
Two Linksys routers can not communicate with each other when wireless.
You can use wireless bridge WET610N.

New Ipod Touch 5g can't access Internet in home network (using Linksys E4200 router). But, OK with other Wifi.

Just bought new Ipod Touch 5g. I found out it can't access Internet in home network. not really cannot access, but very slow to open any web page, App Store failed to access, etc. But, OK with other Wifi (office & starbucks). Others existing iOS devices (Iphone4 & Ipad2) have no problem like this. I'm using Linksys E4200 router at home. anyone has any idea why?

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Using linksys wired router with AE 2nd generation

Hi. I'm trying to use a linksys befsr41 (non-wireless 4 port router) with a 2nd generation airport express. I have several wired rooms that I want to setup separate networks with other AE's. My configuration is: cable box-->AE WAN in--AE LAN out-->Linksys-->ethernet cable through the house—>AE WAN in rooms. Can’t seem to make this work. I can do it wirelessly (i.e having the remote AE's joing the first AE network) but several of the rooms have poor signal. As soon as I try and create a new network the remote AE’s can’t connect to the network. I checked the cables and they are all good.
Thanks.

We need some additional information to be able to troubleshoot this issue.
Can you provide the make and model number of the cable modem that you are using?
Are the other AirPort Express devices that you are trying to connect also 2nd Gen versions? If not, what version are they?
The Linksys router needs to be configured to operate in Bridge Mode so that it will function as if it were an Ethernet switch.....not a router. Is the Linksys set up in Bridge Mode at the current time?
Looking at the Linksys support forum....example below......I cannot tell whether it is possible to configure the Linksys product in Bridge Mode:
https://community.linksys.com/t5/Wired-Routers/Use-BEFSR41-in-Bridged-Mode/td-p/ 272061
Are you trying to configure the AirPorts using AirPort Utility on a Mac....or on an iPhone / iPad? If you are using a Mac, what operating system is the Mac running? If you are not sure, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About This Mac. Post back with the OS X version that you see there.

HP wizard says he's not protected using a Linksys router

Please help: I just bought a HP laptop and when I was setting it up it asked me what kind of router do i plan on using. I clicked on the Linksys tab at the very bottom of their list and I was told that with a Linksys router I wouldnt be protected. Huh? All the other brands were "protected". Do I need another brand of router now? Should I go ahead and connect anyway? I bought this router more than 90 days ago :-(

Hi. Not exactly sure what that HP software meant. Are you trying to connect wirelessly?
I've had my WRT160N router for quite some time and I haven't been under any threat from outside my network/internet.
You can go ahead and connect.

Unable to connect laptop using wireless Linksys router SES 36576

I have a Linksys wireless router (SES 36576) and a new HP laptop (Vista OS). Using my old laptop running XP, I was able to connect wirelessly. Linksys indicates that my signal is EXCELLENT; however, when I input the security key and it searches for the connection, it just flat-out will not connect. I don't know where to start because I've never had this problem before. Is my router compatible??
Thanks for your help.

Hi, the number you have for your router does not match any model number for a Linksys router. Wireless routers from linksys normally have their model numbers start with WBR
My Cisco Network Magic Configuration:
Router: D-Link WBR-2310 A1 FW:1.04, connected to Comcast High Speed Internet
Desktop, iMac: NM is on the Windows Partition, using Boot camp to access Windows, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit RTM, Broadcom Wireless N Card, McAfee Personal Firewall 2009,
Mac Partition of the iMac is using Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
Laptop: Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, McAfee Personal Firewall 2008
Please note that though I am a beta tester for Network Magic, I am not a employee of Linksys/Cisco and am volunteering my time here to help other NM users.

Problems consering use of Chromecast and my Linksys router together

Hi, I have a problem with my Linksys router type CL7B1K148596
Model no: WRTS54GL
Ver. 1.1
I want to use this routher together with my Chromecast wireless unit to stream from my net to my procector, is this router compatible with the Chromecast unit?

Yes. Use the link FurryNutz had provided you. Make sure that you choose the Hardware version to 1.1. You also need to check what's the current firmware version of your router. You may refer to this link on the steps of updating the router firmware: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=e9c2361ee7974d75913e61386a712188_4030.xml&pid=80&r...

Help! Extremely slow Internet speed using Linksys WRT54G router

I have an eMac running OS 10.3.9 and wired to a Linksys WRT54G router using ethernet cable. I have to use this router for my work PC. I'm also using WildBlue satellite internet. The problem is, I'm getting about 1.5 Mbps on my PC, but less than 33 Kbps on my eMac. It was running faster before using dial-up. I've called WildBlue and Linksys tech support, and they can't help. Can anyone help?
By the way, my son is using his iBook on the same router, only wireless, and he's happy with the speed he's getting compared to dial-up.
Thanks,
Eric

1400 kbps is a lot nicer than 33 kbps, isn't it? You can possiblly tweak it a little more --- I know I've seen a MTU of 1460 mentioned --- since you can also revert back to the 1400 MTU setting you found.
(Broadband Optimizer is in one sense a nice GUI to the terminal commnads you found and used.)
One more thing to be aware of, satellite internet is subject to longer latency times than cable or DSL, due to the unavoidable geometry of bouncing data packets off a satellite in orbit. That could be an issue if you ever want to play real-time online multiplayer adventure type games. It shouldn't be an issue for being able to grab OS updates in minutes instead of hours, through. Enjoy your broadband access!
