WET610N

do anybody know when Linksys suppose to release the Wireless-N Ethernet Bridge with Dual-Band. I chk w/ Best Buy and they are not sure.

Linksys has already released a number of Wireless N routers/AP which, using LELA, you can configure as a Bridge.
Does this help?

How to Check WET610N is working?

I called and spoke to a Cisco representative and they told me all I have to do is get a WET610N and WAP610N in order to get my wireless situation set up.
We currently have the E3000N (which everyone said was the strongest router, but doesn't even go 300ft) it is connected to our cable modem.
It sends out it's wireless signal, and the Cisco representative told me if I get the WET610N to act as a wireless bridge, and then the WAP610N to act as a wireless access point we should be able to extend the wireless range.
I've set up the WET610N and the WAP610N. It claimed that everything was working correctly, that the wireless bridge was set up, etc.
I created a second SSID and it appeared to work. Then we moved the WET610N and WAP610N to their location in order to extend the range and it stopped working!
I know for a fact we are not out of the wireless range of the E3000N as I am using it to post this. The second SSID coming from the WAP610N is broadcasting and the signal is strong, but when I try to connect it says it has limited internet access, or no access.
So is something wrong with the WET610N in receiving the signal? Or is something wrong with the WAP610N? How can I check if they are working? Do I have to reconnect them to the E3000N to check? Is there a surefire way to make sure it all works?

How you have configured WET and WAP? have you setup a static ip on them or it is configured as dynamic ip? If you have setup a static ip then on your computer open the command prompt window and ping the ip address of the bridge and check if you are getting replies, If you are getting replies then the bridge is configured properly, then you need to check the settings for your AP.

Wet610n connecting to netgear WDS setup

Hey,
Been trying to get a wet610n to connect to the following setup:
netgear wndr3700 router: the router has bridging and repeating enabled with the mac addresses of the netgear wn802t repeater and the linksys wet610n bridge in its table.
The netgear wn802t will allow wireless client connections just fine, but we cannot get the wet610n to connect. We could get it to connect to the wndr3700 router with the bridging and routing funciton disabled, but then the wn802t will not connect.
I've come to the conclusion that the linksys will not play well with the netgear devices in the mode that they need to be in for repeating.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

If you set the Netgear Router in bridge mode then,the WET will not work because two bridge can not communicate wirelessly;

Streaming internet to TV using WET610N

I have a Linksys E4200 Router - (great!) I have hooked up a Linksys WET610N Bridge to my Sony BluRay and have a good connection. (I have updated the Sony firmware so know it works) Now, how can I configure this setup to allow me to stream movies and other content from the internet to the HDTV to which the BluRay is connected?
Linksys advertises the Bridge as a means to stream movies but I can't find how to get videos from the internet, or my Mac, to the TV. Any ideas will be appreciated.

So first of all I would like to inform you that if you can upgrade the latest firmware on the Router which can be downloaded from the CISCO website ( homrsupport.cisco.com )
Once you done with the upgrading of the Router then reset the Router and Reconfigure it.....
As far as wireless is concern do the following settings:
For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161..
Then connect the configured WET610N with BluRay scan the network from the Router and try to connect it....
After doing these steps then to stream movies and other content from the internet....

Problem connecting WET610N to Cisco AP1240AG

Strange problem: I try to connect WET610N bridge to our WIFI network using Cisco AP1240AG, it stops working and freezes (the power LED flashes blue and pink). I have to hard reset the unit to get back into configuration web page.
But when I connect it to other "cheaper" AP (Linksys WAP54G or Cisco WAP200), it works perfectly. I update the firmware to 1.0.05, try a lot of options on both AP or bridge: no use. Both units use WEP encryption. Any clue? Thanks

Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series which has the standards of IEEE 802.11a/b/g where as WET610N Gaming and Video Adapter has 802.11a/b/g/n 2.4/5GHz Dual Band.
That means the only difference will be of signal strength which will be “G-Mode”. For more information here is the link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/wireless/ps5678/ps6521/prod_qas0900aecd8031c8dc.html

Connecting WAG320n to WRT610n using WET610n ethernet bridge

I have upgraded my network with a WAG320n Router/modem and have a WET610n (ethernet bridge) in my remote room. Because the WET is only one port, I would like to connect my old WRT610n router to the bridge, but need to know the right settings and connection info. The purpose is to use the additional ports and wireless from the remote location.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Problem solved and improved on
Thanks Klatch,
The WAG320n is nice, but not simultaneous dual band, so I set it for 5Ghz. I hard wired an accesspoint (WAP610n) to the router, set it for 2.4Ghz, and placed it about 3 meters apart from the Router. This gave me better access on the second floor for all devices with either bands. (I gave the access point it's own SSID to distinguish it).
To expand coverage to the first floor I installed the wireless N Ethernet Bridge (WET610N) on the fringe range of my routers output (still 4 bars). The bridge is set to 5Ghz - because that's what the WAG320 is. Then I connected the WRT610N router (which is simultaneous dual band) to the bridge. You plug the bridge into a LAN port on the WRT610N, NOT the WAN port. The WRT610 was programmed to 192.168.1.2, DHCP turned off, NAT disabled. I have the other 3 WAN ports hard wired to devices (Playstation, Slingbox, Blue Ray Player). All other first floor PC's are connected wirelessly via the 5GHZ or 2.4GHZ bands. The first floor coverage is excellent.   I maintained different SSID's for each Router and the Access Point, to distinguish which router or band I want to connect to.
If linksys only made the WAG320 simultaneous dual band, it would provide the extended coverage to all older and newer devices!!    The whole world isn't wrapped around 5Ghz yet! So.. If you want to extend and use another router as a repeater (wirelessly) you need a wireless Ethernet Bridge (or gaming adaptor) from the primary router and connect it to the secondary router.   Anything can be done with a little effort. Thanks

WET610N Software Setup Exits in Windows Vista

Trying to install the software CD for WET610N. Not getting past the "Start Setup" initial screen on the Setup Wizard. After clicking in Start Setup a brief "Linksys" message box in blue appears then exits then nothing at all. Got same behavior on a second Vista system. Windows XP Professional PC got past that point on the install. Is there a basic security setting in Vista thats messing up the install? Earlier had no problems running the install for WRT610N from same Windows Vista systems.

If you are trying to configure you WET610N with the setup disk, you can exit from the setup and configure your WET610N manually.
Follow this setups to configure your WET610N with your Wireless Router :
Connect your WET610N to your Router with the Ethernet cable.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Once login to your Router setup page, now clik on the "Status" tab and below status tab you need to click on the sub tab "Local Network" and below click on "DHCP Client Table" in this window you will find the IP address of your WET610N.
Now open IE and in the address bad type the IP address of WET610N, when prompted for the Username and Password,Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Once you login to the setup page of WET610N, match the wireless settings of your Router (SSID, Channel, Security) and click on Save Settings.
Now unplug the Ethernet cable from WET610N and the Power cable, Wait for 30 seconds and connect the Ethernet cable to your Device and Plug the power back to your WET610N. Now check if you are able to go online from your WET610N.

WET610N Won't Connect to Airport Extreme WiFi

Hi all - really strange goings-on.
I have an Airport Extreme base station, configured using WPA2 Personal.
I am trying to setup my WET610N wireless bridge, but it will not connect to the wireless network created by my Airport Extreme.
I use the bridge's web interface to set the password and connect it to my network. My SSID is not broadcast, so I type it in and select WPA2 Personal as the encryption type. I have tried using both the 'AES' and 'AES and TKIP' selections on that security screen to no avail.
I have double-checked that the SSID and passphrase are correct and match my wireless network. I have two cellphones and a Wii that all connect to this wireless network with no problems.
It *looks* like the WET610N is seeing the network, as I see an additional 'wireless client' popup in my Airport base station configuration screen for a few seconds before going away. This is synchronized with the 'wifi' light on the front of the bridge staying on for about 5 seconds straight.
I have tried the reset button and started from scratch. Same result. Any specific configuration that I need to enable on my base station? Other suggestions? Thanks!!

Sorry, thought I answered you - it's on DHCP. It should be automatically getting an IP, and it is. That is how I can connect to the router's web page - 192.168.0.107 (or whatever the IP the device was given).
Do you think I would have better luck if I switched the device to a static IP? Is the subnet mask always 255.255.0.0 when setting to a static IP?

Unable to use static IP on device connected to WET610N

I set up my new (second) WET610N on my wireless network (with its own distinct hostname). It uses DHCP to get its IP address from my wireless router. It is happy.
I plug a device into the RJ45 jack on the back of the WET610N and turn the device on. It uses DHCP to get its IP address from the WET610N. It is happy.
I can see and interact with both the WET610N and with the device that I've plugged into it. They have separate IP addresses. Everyone is happy.
Except for me, because I want to interact with the device via a static IP so I can bookmark it in my browser etc. So I configure the device to use a known-available static IP address. I do not change anything on the WET610N.
Much power cycling of everybody later, I still cannot communicate with the static IP device that is plugged into the back of the WET610N. I can't even ping it. I can still communicate with the WET610N just fine; it is still happy.
I switch the device back to use DHCP, power cycle it, and I can once again communicate with it (once I figure out what its dynamically-assigned IP address is).
Is there no way to have a device with a static IP plugged into the WET610N?
The User Guide for the WET610N tells me how to set up the WET610N to use a static IP for itself, but it doesn't say anything about the device that is being bridged by the WET610N using a static IP.

Whats the Static IP you have setup?
Whats the IP address you are getting it when you setup up in Dynamic?
Make sure the IP address should be in the range of your Router then only it will work.

WLC 2106 and Linksys Bridge WET610N works with 7.0.116.0 release?

Hi all,
i'm having troubles with WLC 2106 controller and several wireless bridges, so i'd like to know if i can fix it in some way.
My environment is as follows:
1 WLC 2106 with 2 Aironet 1240G
I have a production appliance that needs an ethernet port to work, so i bought a Linksys Bridge WET610N to make it works via wireless.
The Linksys bridge connects to the 1240G as a client and works well, but the appliance connected to the ethernet port of the bridge is unreachable.
Searching for the problem, i found that the wlc act as a proxy arp for the wireless clients and being the ethernet appliance a "passive" client, the controller isn't aware of it.
My WLC is running the 7.0.98.0 firmware. In the release notes for the 7.0.116.0, in the "Non-Cisco WGB Support" seems to state that now also non cisco bridges can work using the passive client feature. I've already enabled it on my controller but this didn't solve my problem.
Can anyone tell me if the upgrade to the 7.0.116.0 can fix it?
Thanks in advance
Riccardo Coppola

I'm not sure what (cheap) devices can do the wgb feature that is inter-brand compatible.
The thing is that the WLC enforces the rule "1 wireless client = 1 client". Meaning you can't bridge multiple clients behind a wireless clients, that just screws up roaming mechanisms etc ...
Cisco WGBs have the IAPP protocol to tell the WLC "listen, I'm a WGB wireless client and those are the wired clients connected to me, allow them on the network".
What does "universal WGB" feature does is that the WGB forwards the traffic of the client (only 1 client supported in this case !) to the infrastructure AP but the WGB never sends anything with its own mac address. It uses the client mac address as source.
This means that the WLC has no way of knowing that there is more than 1 device. It just thinks that your wired client is a wireless client.
So it's more than mac cloning since the WgB has to be the one authenticating to the infrastructure (Wpa/wpa2 whatsoever) by spoofing the client mac. The WGB is still in charge of roaming decisions and so on and so on...
I hope it clarifies the situation ?

WRT610N router and a WET610N wireless bridge problems

I purchased a WRT610N router and a WET610N wireless bridge and have had a major hard time to get them to work together. The router setup went fine. Internet works perfectly on several machines and devices. The bridge on the other hand has been a big issue. I keep getting "Error 105" when the wizard trys to search for the bridge on the network. This search happens 2 or 3 times during the setup, and it has failed repeatedly at each instance. Sometimes it lets me go a bit further, but it's never completed. I called support, and they didn't know much about it, then we got disconnected and the second guy didn't "have the skills to work with that device" and the first guy appearantly didn't update the notes. I exchanged the bridge, but the second has fared no better. I'm now thinking it might be the router. One thing that leads me to that is the connection button never seems to initiate any proceedures on the router. I can hold that thing down for two minuets and the lights never get going. Anyone have any experience with these?

You have to make sure that your router is running it's latest firmware...
Download Firmware 7.27 MB...
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
After re-configuring the router you need to configure the Bridge, to configure the Bridge you have to make sure, Wireless Settings on the Bridge and the Router are exactly identical so that they can effectively communicate with each other...Your Bridge should be assigned Static IP Address of 192.168.1.250, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0...Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1(Assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...After setting up your Bridge you should unplug the Router and then the Bridge, wait for a minute and connect the router first, wait for another minute and then connect your Bridge...It should work...

WET610N and streaming Netflix or Windows 7 Media Center

I am trying to find out if I can use the WET610N to stream Netflix, my Windows 7 Media Center and DirecTV VOD to my HDTV.
Also, what is the best way to configure: 1) use the CD or 2) let the DirecTV HD DVR
Hardware: Linksys Router, wireless PC with WIndows 7 and Media Center, Panasonic HDTV, DirecTV DVR and I'd like to get the above mentioned to work.
Thanks. HmS-PA

The best way to configure your WET610N is to connect the WET to the Router and run the setup disk on your computer and configure all the settings on it (SSID, Channel, Security Key).... Once you are done with all these configuration changes, then you need to Unplug the Power and the Ethernet Cable from the Bridge and then, connect the Bridge to your DirecTV HD DVR and then plug the power to the WET...

Improving Performance between WRT610N (v1) and WET610N (v1)

Any advice on how to improve performance of the connection between these two Wireless N devices?
WRT610N (v1) and WET610N (v1)
We have a PS3 connected to the WET610N via Ethernet directly, and it connects the PS3 communication wirelessly to the Internet through the WRT610N. Just wondering if there are some known tweaks that will improve performance between them. One thing I think is ridiculous is that the WRT610N is showing only 30% signal strength on the WET610N. That is ridiculous as they are not far from eachother.
Any input is welcome!

Whats the Distance between your Router and the Bridge? Are you connected to 5GHz wireless network or 2.4GHz wireless network? Whats the Wireless Settings you have setup on your Router.

WET610N won't connect to WRT300N

Good day, I purchased a new WET610N Bridge to connect a web camera to my wireless network. The router is a WRT300N and has been working perfectly since installation. For some reason I cannot get the bridge to connect wirelessly to the router. Going through the CD install and also tried the Web pages on the bridge and gave up after 3 hours. I figure this should be about a 10 minute setup.
Has anyone done this?
Thanks!

You can certainly bridge or cascade both the router's(not wireless)...You may follow the link here

Using WET610N and WRT320N as bridge within home network

Hi - I have a small home network, in which the DSL modem is some way away from the room in which I do my work. Currently, I use a pair of WAP54G access points to bridge between the two locations, and everything works OK, if slowly.
Today, I bought a WRT320N router and a WET610N bridge to replace the access points, but I having a real problem configuring them to work. I think the basic problem is with the IP addresses that they use. The current configuration is:
DSL Modem -> Access Point -- several yards -- Access Point -> PC
and I want to go to:
DSL Modem -> WRT320N -- several yards -- WET610N -> PC
I guess my basic question is this a reasonable idea or should I be using something different for the WRT320N end? I don't want to change the basic IP address subnet (192.168.1.*) and I want to keep the DSL modem as the default gateway (192.168.1.254). When I installed the WRT320, it assigned itself an IP address of 192.168.0.1 and the WET610N an IP address of 192.168.0.101, and I think the DSL modem also assigned the WRT320 an IP address of 192.168.1.99, so I am a little confused as to which IP addresses I should be setting where.
If anyone can provide some guidance I would be most grateful. Thanks, Martin

I have a similar question, but slightly different and a few things are unclear to me, I will explain:
I want to setup the following:
Internet through DSL-Thompson TG 789 VN router ---> several yards --> Linksys WRT320N --> wired computer netwerk with | | printer
   | |
   ---> Wireless Netwerk --> laptops / phones <--- (WAN depending on strongest signal)
   |
   ---> several servers
The Thompson does the DHCP and routing. It is the gateway through the internet, IP 192.168.2.254 (mask 255.255.255.0).
I can't replace the thompson since it is delivered by my provider. SSID = BertB
I want to achieve that all the compuers / laptops / phone and printer are in one network and can communicate with each other
So the only possibility, as far as I can see, is to set up the Linksys as a bridge.
My question is how I could do this?
I suggest that I have to do the following at the Linksys but have some questions as mentioned below:
SSID = BertB (the same)
channel = different from the channel used by Thompson
DHCP = off
IP = fixed (192.168.2.253)
gateway = 192.168.2.254
DNS = ??? I don't know what to do here ???
Do I have to setup something in the advanced routing, and if so, what?
Firewall --> on or off?
Security --> WPA2/WPA (mixed mode) same as at the thompson?
Security Word --> same as at the thompson?
Is this all, or do I forgot some steps?
Is my assumption OK?
Another question is how the thompson and the Linksys will build a connection with each other, or will this happen automatically through the above setup?
Do I have to put the mac address of the thompson in the Linksys and/or vice versa?
Well this are a lot of questions and I hope someone can help me out.
Many thanks for answering my questions in advance.
Best Regards, Bert Buiskool

WRT610N, WET610N, XBOX, Windows Media Center Setup

I've searched the heck out of these forums and others. Most of the posts regarding connection problems between the Xbox and Windows Media Center using the WRT610N are fairly old and seem unresolved. I fear the people that had the problem have either solved it, and didn't return to post the solution or worse, gave up and returned their router.
I have the WRT610N V2 and I'd like to know if I can reliably use it with my xbox before the opportunity to exchange it ends. I've always been a fan of Linksys. But I am not inclined to suffer this degraded performance.  Is there a recommended WRT610N setup for reliable performance with the Xbox?
Yes, this is the second time I've asked the question here. But I got nothing on my first and suspected the subject didn't draw enough or the right attention. Please help. I really don't want to give up on Linksys.

Follow up to the situation.
Keep in mind that most of the suggestions regarding the 610n and the Xbox 360 problems are pretty old and I believe related to V1 of the router. The lack of response I've gotten lead me to believe these suggestions were not applicable to V2. But rest assured, I'm not imagining this problem.  The connection from the Xbox and WMC is inconsistent at startup, halts occasionally, and hiccups in streaming music pretty regularly.
I have really only tested in the few hours I have available on weeknights. I don't have the time to completely rearrange the network configuration every evening to try all of the suggestions I've read. Especially since I can't change much on the adapter remotely. I have to pull out my equipment rack, pull the power plug out of the surge protector to bring it into the office where the desktop computer is to reconfigure it. Because of this, I have been hesitant to make a lot of changes hoping that someone would post the "no shyt solution".
What's really got me is that since buying this router just this past weekend (at BestBuy by the way) I've had such varying results with little configuration change.  Sunday I got everything up just fine, but had hiccups in the streaming music. Monday I had to power down everything to get the xbox to connect to WMC and I switched to static IPs at that time. Once connected, I had the hiccups in the streaming music using WMC and LastFM. Then on Tuesday evening, I still had the hiccups. Then on Wednesday night, everything worked perfectly (both WMC and LastFM). But I hadn't changed anything since the hiccups on Tuesday night. I thought maybe the router needed time to settle in? Yeah, pretty crazy notion given we're talking about networking. If it's going to work, you'd think it would work right off the bat or not work.  So Thursday night, last night, the hiccups were back (both WMC and LastFM). And they seemed worse than ever before.
I would like to note that I have frequently tested the alternative method of streaming music with the xbox that uses the Windows Media Player vice Windows Media Center. That capability has had no problem at any time.  The WMC is a more pleasant and richer interface but I didn't have a WMC capable computer before. So in a pinch, I can continue using the WMP interface if I'm entertaining and haven't gotten this WMC thing worked out. But I had the WMP interface with my old Linksys G equipment. I just spent a fair dollar to gain N and WMC, I feel I have wasted my money if I have to drop back to the WMP interface.
Anyway, back to results... I'm off today and figured I'll try some of the suggestions. This morning initially, the xbox will connect with WMC, but won't maintain the connection. This is before I even fire up any music. So, here I am again scanning the Linksys forum for the suggestions. I figure I'll try the recommendations that don't require me to pull the WET610N into my office for reconfiguration. Ok, so a few easy recommendations (mind you, these were all provided for the V1, I haven't read anything particular to the V2), is to change the Beacon Interval to 50, Fragmentation and RTS Thresholds to 2306 and 2307 respectively. So far, that's all I've done, and of course powered the router and adapter down.
Everything is working perfectly. Am I convinced I have a solution? No. As I've read and in my own experience, things in this router change day to day. What works today might not work tomorrow.
So if there is anyone out there that is familiar with this problem, your insight would be invaluable to me!
