WAG160N with WRT54GL in Client Mode Wireless disconnections

I have a problem with my WAG160N ADSL router. I installed DD-WRT on a Linksys WRT54GL router and run this router in client bridge mode. It connects with my WAG160N router using Wireless.
My configuration is as follow:
Firmware Version: 1.09
Basic Wireless Settings:
Network Mode: Mixed
Radio Band: Wide - 40MHz Channel
Wide Channel: 5
Standard Channe: 3
Wireless Security:
Security Mode: WPA-Personal
Encryption: TKIP or AES
Key Renewal 3600 seconds
no MAC filtering
Advanced Wireless Settings:
Authentication Type: Shared Key
All others default.
The WRT54GL is configured to only use AES encryption. In the beginning I had more dropouts of my wireless connection. The WRT54GL still displays it's connected, but I can't ping my WAG160N anymore. After I disabled QOS, the connection is retained much longer (for about 1 day). If the connection is dropped, it has no use to reboot the WRT54GL, the connection will still not be available. I have to reboot the WAG160N to reconnect again. I made a ping script that does a ping from my computer to the WRT54GL every second, and gives a message when connection is dropped. My computer is connected with my WAG160N router using a wire. I can see that the connection is really stable, with no dropouts at all. But at a certain time, there's no connection anymore.
If I view to log file of the WAG160N there's something that I notice, but I don't know how to solve it.
After I just restarted my router I get the following messages:

Above messages, I got originally when I still had my WRT54GL on TKIP, instead of AES, but I read that AES is preferred, because it's more reliable and quicker. After I configured the WRT54GL to only use AES I got the most above messages, but after a few hours the other messages (IEEE 802.1..) I have the feeling (haven't got hard proof yet) that at a certain point the port isn't authorised anymore (by using TKIP), but I'm wondering how that can be. I'm also wondering why all of a sudden the key renewal is in such a short time period. (Little bit more then 7 mins), while normally the renewal occurs every hour. I hope someone can help me using above description

  • How to Connect Airport Express to Existing Wireless Network (Client Mode)

    I am posting this for everyone tearing their hair out trying to connect the Airport Express to your own existing home wireless network. After spending 2 hours last night installing this on my father-in-law's home network, I hope to be able to save someone else the agony we went through.
    So here's the situation:
    Say you already have your own home network set up, and all you want is to be able to use AirTunes to play music off iTunes into your speaker system. And, you don't need the printer sharing capability nor creation of another wireless network (2 of the features of Airport Express). Then this solution is for you - read on.
    Unfortunately, Apple's user manual is very unclear how to connect Airport Express to your own network. When you look at the picture diagram they provide, they show Airport Express picking up its signal from another Apple-oriented base. This can make you think you need to buy another piece of hardware to make it work. DON'T If you read through the manual, the Support section here, etc., you will hear lots of talk about "Client Mode" - and that this is the only way to get it to work. Nice - but no one really tells you how to set up the Airport in client mode.
    Do yourself a favor, toss that user manual aside and run these steps.
    (Note: These directions assume your DSL/Cable Modem is hooked up to a wireless router or acts as its own wireless router)
    1. Get a cat5 Ethernet cable (anything but an orange cable - that's a crossover cable) like you would use to connect your PC to your router to pick up the Internet.
    2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the router on one end, and to the Airport Express unit on the other end.
    3. Plug in your Airport Express unit to the wall (this will not necessarily become its permanent location - you will be able to move it later). The light will glow solid Amber for about 30-45 seconds while it starts up, then blink Amber. At this point, the unit is ready to operate.
    4. Install the CD to the PC where your iTunes music is stored. This should be painless. Once you open the program, it should detect the Airport unit.
    5. At this point, the on-screen wizard will present you with your options, and walk you through the setup. This is much like the user manual describes - and you should be good to go form here forward.
    Some pointers:
    - When asked if you want to create a new network, join an existing network, or connect via Ethernet, choose the middle option for joining an existing network. You will need to know the name of your network, the password to connect to the network (if present), and the type of encryption used on the network (e.g. WEP, WPA, etc.). Side note, WPA is recommended, as it is a higher level of security than WEP. You will be able to configure the Airport Express unit to automatically login to your network.
    - I would recommend, when creating a password for the Airport Express unit, use the same password as your network, to avoid confusion.
    6. The very last step will ask you to save the settings to the Airport Express. Here's the kicker - when you save the settings, you are TRICKING the Airport Express into no longer acting as a network broadcaster, but instead being a "slave" to your own network. What do I mean? You will lose the connection from your PC to the Airport Express - an error message will pop up telling you the unit can no longer be found. While you might think you did something wrong, you actually were successful!
    7. Unplug your Airport Express, and disconnect the Ethernet cable from your router and the Airport unit. This will no longer be needed.
    8. Go to your desired location where you want to plug in your Airport Express unit. Before plugging it in, connect your Audio cable from the Airport Express to your audio receiver. Once that is connected, then plug in the Airport Express unit. The light will glow solid Amber for 30-45 seconds while it loads, and then will blink Amber for a brief period of time before turning solid GREEN. When this happens, you have successfully connected the Airport Express to your home network!
    9. Go back to your PC with iTunes. Open the Airport software - you should now have a listing for your Airport Express unit in the upper left. Click on this, and the wizard will guide you through connecting - you will need the password you created for the unit. You only need to go through this wizard once, and when finished, the software will tell you that can now use iTunes with your Airport unit.
    10. Open iTunes. On the lower right, you will see a dropdown for Speakers, and it should be defaulted to My Computer. Click on that drop-down, and you will see the name of your Airport unit. Click on that name, and now your music will broadcast to the Airport unit!
    11. Play a song in iTunes. Go to your audio receiver, and connect it to the channel for your external connection to the Airport Express unit. You should hear your music from iTunes. CONGRATULATIONS! =)
    I hope these instructions were helpful - I am happy to answer any questions, so feel free to contact me, *******************@*****.**.
    <Edited by Moderator>

    Thanks for the detailed directions. You are absolutely correct in stating that people should toss the user manual; it's pretty worthless. I have had a problem setting up my new Airport Express as I have described in an earlier post - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1839873&tstart=45
    One quick question - does using your setup process set the AE up as part of a distributed network where the AE is acting as a wireless router where it is extending the range of your network? Or, is it simply a wireless connection to your stereo for iTunes? I am interested in having both, since my AE will be at the other end of the house from the main wireless router.
    Thanks

  • AirPort Express in client mode with WEP

    I just bought an AirPort Express that I'd like to use in client mode so I can stream music from my laptop to my stereo. I have an existing wireless G network supported by a Netgear WGR614v4 router, using 64-bit WEP encryption. My laptop is a Dell Studio 15 running Vista Home Premium, and it has a Dell Wireless 1387 card.
    I know there are some reported issues with AE and WEP encryption, but for whatever reason my laptop doesn't connect to WPA networks, so I'm stuck on WEP. I've been using WEP 64-bit, so I attempted to setup the AE to work with that. The AE was connected directly to my Netgear router, and I installed the AirPort Utility software on my Dell laptop. Went through the setup, entered my WEP passkey, and then got to a screen where I clicked "update AE" or something of that sort. It then showed a windows with some upload bars on it that made it look like it was doing something, but it finally resulted in an error message saying the AE could not be found following the update. After looking for help, I stumbled across the following thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1765010&tstart=0
    which in Step 6 he mentions this "error" is normal. That gave me hope, so I disconnected the AE from the router and moved it to the other room where my stereo is. Plugged in the mini cable, then plugged the AE into the wall and allowed it to run its setup sequence. Eventually I had a solid green light, so I figured I was in good shape.
    Problem is that I then opened the AirPort Utility software on the Dell laptop to complete the setup and activate AirTunes, but the AirPort Utility doesn't show the AE connected. If I log into my router utility though, it does show the AE as one of the devices on my network, so somewhere there is a disconnect. After reading some more, I realized I could manually connect via AirPort Utility by entering the AE IP address and password. Tried this and it seemed to work because it showed the info for my AE, but when I closed that window it was gone. I figured maybe that's just a bug with AirPort Utility, so I closed it out and went to iTunes, hoping to see the option for selecting AE as the audio output, but it's not there.
    I've tried almost everything I can think of, but I'm having no luck. At times I feel like I'm even making negative progress because I'll start everything from scratch and it will get hung up at a step earlier in the process. For instance, right now I've just restarted from scratch and the AirPort Utility can't even connect to the AE to do the initial setup. For some reason, following a Factory Default Reset, and with the AE connected directly to the router, it now boots up to a solid green light, shows up in AirPort Utility under a default base station name, yet the AirPort Utility can't connect to modify my wireless settings.
    Does anyone have any advice?

    1) are both the LAN and WAN ethernet ports available or only one of them, the LAN port presumeably?
    Both ports operate as LAN ports in this type of setup, since the Express will be configured in Bridge Mode automatically.
    2) If you unplug the ethernet cable momentarily to connect a different device, does the AX drop the wireless connection or is it maintained?
    Wireless will be maintained, but you may need to power off and restart the Express. 
    Better practice would be to power off the Express before you disconnect the cable(s), connect the cable(s) again, then power up the AirPort Express.

  • How can I set up an AirPort wirelessly in client mode on a roaming network?

    I recently set up a roaming network within my office using a RADIUS server for access control. I have multiple airports connected to our broadband via ethernetcable providing a seamless network over a large space. It works great.
    However, now that I've done this, I can't get one of my airort expresses to work as a wireless music box with speakers plugged in. This airport is in a location that has no ethernet nearby, which is fine because I just want to use it to play music, not extend the network. It's MAC address is configured in the RADIUS server as an authorized device.
    I've tried this "client mode" setup, and a variety of other combinations of settings like making it part of the roaming network as an extender, with no avail:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1731
    Everything I've tried gives me the "AirPort Utility was unable to find your AirPort wireless device after restarting" message, and my AirPort has only a yellow light.
    It seems the AirPort Express is totally incompatible with a roaming network. Is there any way to make this work?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Before we get into details here, do you understand that the Express will not be be able to "extend" the Xfinity wireless network wirelessly?
    The Express can only extend a network wirelessly from another Apple AirPort router. Another way of saying the same thing is that if you want to "extend" wirelessly, you will need two Apple AirPort routers.
    The Express will need to be permanently connected to the modem/router using an Ethernet cable if you want it to extend the Xfinity network.

  • I can't get my Airport express to work in client mode with my speedtouch base station?

    Im trying to add my Airport Express to my exisiting wireless network - which runs from a speedtouch base station. I only want to use the AP to use air tunes but i cant seem to get it running in client mode. The interface on the Airport Utility seems different to that described in the online help here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1731
    Everytimes i try to add it to an exisint network the AP dissapears on its restart. Any ideas if what im trying to do is possible. I've tried creating the network initially with the ethenet cable connected - which works, but then when its detatched although the AP status light stays green it disapears from from the network and i cant stream.
    thanks for any help and advice.
    Wilkie

    In order for the AirPort Express to join another wireless network as a "client", three conditions must be met in the setup of the Express. It must be provided with......
    1) The name of the wireless network that is to be joined
    2) The exact type of wireless security settings that the wireless router is using
    3) The wireless network password
    Most users have no trouble with 1) and 3), but few know the exact type of wireless security settings that their wireless network is using. So, they accept a default setting on the Express, which does not match up with their network.
    Bottom line....unless you know the exact type of wireless security settings that your wireless router is using...the Express will never join the network. The setup ends with an error message and you have to start all over again with another try....which will fail as well, etc.
    If you know the exact type of security settings that the Speedtouch router is using.....we can provide you with a step by step setup guide.
    If you do not know this, or are unsure....you will need to get into the setup menus for the Speedtouch router to locate the wireless settings. Or, if the wireless router was provided by your ISP, they may be able you with this information.
    Post back with that info and we will proceed.

  • Changing channel on AE when in client mode to avoid audio dropouts with itu

    I am getting audio dropouts 7 to 8 seconds into a song consistently on my mac book which is wirelessly connected to g5 via lynksys router. There is some traffic on my current channel, but I can't figure out how to change the channel in client mode I can only change it own independent network. Will this even help? or am I asking too much? Do I even need to lynksys because both macs have airport built in? G5 seems to work fine with itunes connected to 3 airports it's when I play itunes from mac book that I get the dropouts.

  • Airport Express disconnects every 5mins (Client Mode)

    Hi all,
    I recently bought an Airport Express (n) so I could stream music to my Hi-Fi and bridge my Xbox 360.
    I have configured the AX to connect to my existing wireless network which is served up by a Billion 7800n router (G+N mode).
    However, every 5 minutes it disconnects from the network, here are sample of the logs..
    Dec 16 06:29:45 Severity:5 Installed unicast CCMP key for authenticator 00:04:ed:9b:bf:39

    I'm using WPA2 AES encryption, wireless is on a non-competing channel and the airport is only 2-3 meters away from the router in the same room.
    Things I've tried are upgrading Router firmware to latest (1.6), switching Wi-Fi channels, enabling B mode on the router (BGN) but nothing seems to work.
    I don't think it's interference as it disconnects almost every 5 minutes which suggests some config/hardware issue.
    Anyone have any ideas? I've hit a brick wall.
    Thanks...

    Update:
    This appears to be by design? - connection doesn't drop when using AirTunes/Airfoil which is what I bought it for.
    However I thought the Ethernet port wouldn't work when used in Client mode (according to the FAQ). I was able to connect my Xbox 360 to the AX when in Client mode using a network cable and it is able to connect to Xbox Live. When doing this it drops off on the 5 minute intervals when the AX disconnects and reconnects.
    I guess if I used AirTunes at the same time as the X360 it would work.
    Would be nice if it worked as a stable bridge in client mode as I could bin off my other wireless bridges. Never mind - I ain't forking out for another AX so I can use "Apple's" WDS.

  • Intel wireless chipset clients random Citrix disconnects

    Currently using intel 5100 & 6200 client cards on multiple driver versions. WiSM is 7.0.116. APs are 1250 and 1260 series. Citrix is setup to send server-side keepalives for session reliability. Randomly, several times a day the client will get disconnected from the Citrix application session but maintain connectivity to the AP and other applications continue to work. Traces show the server-side keepalive reach the controller but are delayed from controller to client by 5-6 seconds. Just enough time for the Citrix server to timeout and tear down to session. Additional testing shows the delay most likely occurs somewhere from controller to AP. It occurs on multiple controllers on multiple campuses.
    We have Dell/Broadcom clients that don't experience the problem. The only commonality seems to be the Intel cards. Any ideas? CCX? I know Intel has a special relationship with Cisco regarding CCX and have developed features not available on other cards. Tried disabling power save and other CCX features but hasn't solved the issue. Any ideas are appreciated on this very strange problem.
    Thanks!

    Update to this issue. I've found the 5 second delay actually is occurring on the AP. Packets traverse normally through the entire network but randomly delayed at the AP. TAC is looking at it but no cause found yet. Also verified this seems to occur only with Intel wireless chipsets. Others (Broadcom etc.) don't experience the problem.

  • Existing wireless network in client mode

    Hi,
    I' m trying to join my existing wireless network in client mode. I' ve followed the directions of "AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode"(http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302153) with success, but when i try to play a song, itunes can' t join the network. I' ve try to configure it again but airport admin utility can' t scan it.
    Thanks

    Hey I am having the same problem.

I restart the Airport Express and then my computer and now I get Internet access but I can see there is a base station connected but it timesout when I try to connect to it.
    What did you do to fix it?

  • Airport Extreme (4th generation) and "Wireless Client Mode"

    Hello All,
    I am using  an Airport Extreme (4th generation) and I wonder why in "Wireless Client Mode" I am unable to connect my network using the Ethernet connection.
    Basically, what I wish to do is a bridge between a Base Station Wireless N <--> Base Station Wireless N (Airport Extreme) distributing the connection via its integrated Ethernet ports.
    Thanks,
    Sebastian

    I wonder why in "Wireless Client Mode" I am unable to connect my network using the Ethernet connection.
    The Ethernet ports are not enabled if you configure the AirPort Extreme to "Join a wireless network". Oddly, the USB port is enabled.
    If you have another Apple "n" wireless router as your main base station, you could configure the AirPort Extreme to "Extend a wireless network". This would provide more wireless coverage and enable the Ethernet ports on the device.
    Ironically, the less expensive AirPort Express 802.11n will do what you want.
    When the Express is is manually configured to "Join a wireless network", there is a special feature  to "Enable Ethernet clients", which will activate the Ethernet port.

  • Wireless Disconnection issue with WRT160N v3

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm having trouble with my new WRT160N v3 router.
    It's currently updated with firmware Ver.3.0.02 Build 3.
    My setup is as follows:
    Wired connection: 2-Desktop Computers & 1-Xbox 360.
    Wireless connection: 1-Laptop, 1-Xbox 360, 1-Platstation 3, 1-PSP & 1-Wii.
    The issue is that EVERYTHING connected wirelessly disconnects after a short period of time in use, whether I'm doing work on my laptop or gaming (and all my consoles are connected wirelessly) - everything disconnects.
    Another thing is that there always seems to be a loss in reception and the router is just in the other room (approx. 10 meters away).
    I sat and I configured the router's wireless settings over and over again with all kinds of settings, but it just doesn't seem to help.
    What is going on with this router? it's very problematic because a lot of people are complaing about the same issue.
    I especially went out to buy a new router and ended up buying this sad router that really gets a person upset.
    It's really frustrating being in the middle of a multiplayer game when you get disconnect because of a router that can't even keep it's wireless connectivity up, and this issue happens on every single piece of hardware I have that connects wirelessly.
    Has anybody got any suggestions regarding this issue or some or other wat to solve it?
    Thanks for all the help!

    Try to readjust the Wireless settings on the router...
    Open the linksys setup page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar.Reduce the MTU size to 1365 and click on save settings. Now,Click on Wireless tab and change the Channel Width to 20GHz only and Channel to 11.Click on subtab Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on Save Settings.

  • Why my connection as client mode always get disconnected

    i have an airport express, and I set it up as a client mode to connect it wierd cable to my tv reciever,
    Nornaly it work perfectly, after a long day at work i come to browse the online library, then I'm surprise my airport express is not working,  unplog it and plug it again from electricity would do the job, but tthis is not a solution,
    Ps: my existing router is not an appp product.

    Hi rowinator,
    I assume, you've activated the thunderbirtd junk-filter? Or do you use your own filters?
    May be there's another filter, executed afterwards, that marks the mail as junk? You can have a look into the filterlog.html in your TB folder, there you can see if one of your own filters caught this mails.

  • Join AirPort Express to D-Link DGL4300 router in client mode not working

    I only want to be able to stream iTunes to my AirPort Express via my existing network which is controlled by my D-Link DGL-4300 router.
    My AirPort Express works as an iTunes streamer because I tested it running its own network (ignoring the existing D-Link network). I am trying to connect in client mode (I think), but my D-Link router just can't see the AirPort Express which seems to disappear off the radar after it restarts with the new settings.
    This is what happens...
    1. AirPort Express Hard Reset
    2. Connect to Airport Express wireless network (which disconnects me from my D-Link DGL4300 wireless network “K1000578”)
    3. Run AirPort Utility and enter “Assist Me” mode.
    4. Set AirPort Express name and password then click continue.
    5. Select “I have a wireless network and want to add AirPort Express or replace an existing device on my network” then click continue.
    6. Select “I want AirPort Express to join my current network”
    7. Select the name of my D-Link DGL4300 network “K1000578” from the drop down box, select WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security type and enter the DGL4300 password, then click continue.
    8. Click Update in the summary screen.
    What happens then is...
    MESSAGE BOX “Apple wireless device restarting. Please wait...”
    MESSAGE BOX “Connecting to network ‘K1000578’. Please wait...”
    AirPort Utility returns with a message advising that although the device was successfully updated, AirPort utility was unable to find it after restarting. It also suggests that I made need to reselect my network for the AirPort menu and try again.
    My computer is now unable to even see the AirPort express device.
    When I try to reconnect to my existing DGL4300 network “K1000578”, it says that the settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network. !! ***!!
    I can fix the last part above by deleting the connection information for my DGL4300 and searching for it again. BUT HOW ON EARTH DO I CONNECT MY AIRPORT EXPRESS TO MY NETWORK?!!
    I am able to connect my PC directly to the AirPort Express (if I set it up as its own network) and successfully stream iTunes, but this means I have to disconnect from my DGL4300 network also which means I won’t get internet on that machine and I can’t use my iPhone Remote App.
    This is my second experience with Apples “it just works” philosophy. MobileMe was my first. Guess how I’m feeling!
    Any help at all is kindly appreciated.

    I forgot to mention, I have turned off the MAC address filters on my router, so that's not the cause.

  • Airtunes Skips, Client Mode Stinks

    I live in a building with free wireless internet (a white Netgear WG602 54Mbps) and I have my Airport Express in Client Mode and connecting to the Netgear network. Airtunes is unusable! It skips constantly and I don't know what to do.
    I want to use the internet through the Netgear router and stream to Airtunes directly! Is there any way to do that? What does the Express have to go through the Netgear router and back? That seems silly.
    Any tips?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    This is what I did in your situation:
    1. Disconnect AE from the power plug.
    2. Restart my wireless modem (dsl).
    3. Reset AE (factory default - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044).
    4. Use 'Airport Setup Assistant' to join AE with my wireless network (client mode). I choose a 40-bit password for the AE.
    5. Use 'Airport Admin Utility' to change the wireless option to "Use Interference Robustness". I also used this option with my airport. I have heard that using interference robustness may or may not help with the audio dropouts. You may choose whatever suits you best.
    6. I downloaded the Airport Express firmware version 6.3 even though the AE already had that version.
    7. Restart AE from 'Airport Admin Utility' whenever airtunes skips (once in a week or two).
    (I hope you have the latest software update.)
    Good Luck.

    I've had this same problem for the last few months.  Called support last week and tech said it was probably channel conflict.  Not sure why channel conflict would take the entire wireless down though...  Tech recommended that .ac technology is not for everybody and that I would be more satisfied with older n series router?!?!  He opened a case and said I should call customer support and ask to RMA the router I have and purchase an n series router or the new ac router Linksys just announced.  Just spoke with another tech and she wanted to charge me for additional support.  This is exactly what I was afraid of when Belkin purchased Linksys!  I'll be ripping out my current router and purchasing another brand.  Sorry just realized this should be posted under the EA6900ac post.  Still dissapointed wtih Linksys.
