What Wireless Adaptor for Linksys Router

Hi All
I've been working at this for a while. Does anyone have any idea what wireless g adaptors can be used with a Linksys router? I used to use the Linksys WET54G and it worked like a champ. (I still useuse it, but need new one for second machine.) *BUT* it looks like they have a new version 3.1 which seems totally broken and I can't get it to work for the Mac. Linksys support is totally clueless, they don't even seem to know about the existence of 3.1. Their documentation stops at 3.0.

These work with every Linksys I've tried, as well as any other, Apple included...

Airport Express as wireless client for Linksys WRT54G (v2)

Hi gang. I've been trying without success for some time to get my new AX configured as a wireless client on my existing network. Here's the particulars:
Linksys WRT54G (version 2, latest firmware), 802.11 b/g, channel 6. MAC filtering is enabled, and the AX's MAC address has been added to the persmissions table. WPA shared key security is enabled. AX is latest firmware, 6.3.
I can access the AX no problem by connecting it via ethernet/cat-5 cable to my router. I see it in the list of connected devices on the Linksys admin page, its IP address, etc. I can configure it, no problem. Except that every time I configure it, it reboots and never joins the wireless network, no matter what I seem to do.
Here's my normal procedure:
- Access AirPort Admin Utility
- Select the AX from the first screen, then click Configure. Up comes the configuration screen.
- Click on Airport tab.
- I change Wireless Mode to "Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)" and enter my network SSID in the Network Name box.
- I then click the Wireless Security button, then select "WPA2 Personal", then click "Set Pre-Shared Key" and enter my WPA key, exactly as it appears in the Linksys wireless security page. I save the configuration and the AX reboots.
After that, I wait for half a minute, then the flashing amber (problem/no connectivity) light returns.
I'm completely frustrated with this thing. I've searched some other postings in these forums and on the net and tried some of it but it doesn't work for me. My wireless or network setup is pretty standard stuff, so I don't get why this thing won't join the network. I don't have these problems with any other devices.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

I am experiencing the exact same problem here... I can set up a new network to this device, but cannot set it up as a client on my existing linksys network. I believe I have followed the procedure precisely yet no dice. The iTunes plays on the new network albeit on a weak signal which cuts out periodically. My thought was to put it on the linksys router with a stronger wireless signal...

Use HH2 as modem for Linksys router

OK, so i have BT broadband and the HH2. I live in a flat with 5 other people, and we need the QoS capabilities of the Linksys WRT54GL.
To get internet working i need to use the HH2 as a modem that plugs into the Linksys router.
Iv followed a few guides on these forums but none of them worked.
S basically right now the HH2 is connected to the ADSL line then from its ethernet port 1 its connected to the linksys's internet ethernet port. I have disabled firewalls on both devices and DHCP on the linksys.
I am now stuck for ideas...
So please could someone give me step by step instructions on how to get this setup to work?
Thanks alot

1. Using a PC wired into the current router, unplug it from the wired connection and plug into a LAN port on the secondary router. Access the secondary router using your browser via its default LAN IP address and default password. Since the PC was attached to the previous router you will have tell the PC to obtain a LAN IP from the new device. Use 'ipconfig release/renew' on the PC.
2. On the secondary router (hereafter called the AP)
a. change the default password to a minimum combination of 8 letters/numbers/symbols.
b. Change the ESSID to a unique name and make all the necessary wireless configurations.
Note: If attaching a WiFi router as an AP/switch to an existing wifi network, one should keep the ESSIDs the same for seamless roaming, or separate if one wants to manually decide which AP to connect to. Also, ensure channel separation (1-6-11 common for three devices).
3. In the AP, go to the LAN setup page:
a. Turn DHCP serving OFF.
b. Change the LAN IP of the AP from its default so that it lies within the subnet of the primary router but preferably outside the dynamic LAN IP range of the primary router. (examples below)
c. Disable or turn RIP off, if there is that option.
d. Disable or turn off Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) support (if any).
4. Plug the PC back into the wired connection and repeat the process of getting new LAN IP. A reboot of the PC may be needed.
5. Plug the AP into the router, LAN port TO LAN port directly or via switch/patch panel etc. (NOT into the WAN socket...)
6. It may be necessary to reboot one or both routers but one should be able to assign LAN IPs wirelessly and connect at this point, ensuring WiFi card setup properly.
Example:
Primary Router
LAN IP 192.168.1.1
old Dynamic DHCP Pool 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.xx
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Will need to change Dynamic DHCP pool
new DCHP Pool 192.168.1.33 - 192.168.1.xx (for example)
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Secondary Router (our Access Point)
old LAN IP 192.168.0.1 -or any other default
Will need to change LAN IP to be within subnet of primary.
new LAN IP 192.168.1.2
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Shouldn't need a crossover cable (most routers are intelligent enogh to realise what they're connecting to)
Hope this helps...

USB Wireless Adaptor for eMac

I still have to check them out but I do not believe the eMacs in question have a built in wireless option. I am told they are running OS 10.3 and I was looking for recommendations on adding wireless to about 10 eMacs for a teacher that wants them networked but the classroom does not have any available network ports to even plug in a network switch too. USB wireless adaptor would be good unless I have to use an internal Airport card or something I guess that is fine.

Check out the eMac specifications, for example, here. Depending upon the model, you could install an AirPort or AirPort Extreme card. This is probably the easiest way. See also the KB articles HT1621 and HT3024.
You could per se try USB wireless adapters, but only if appropriate Mac drivers are available (if at all, usually only for Mac OS X 10.3 or higher).
Another solution could be wireless Ethernet bridge devices (also called gaming adapters). These units (such as Belkin F5D7330, D-Link DWL-G810, D-Link DWL-G820, Linksys WET54G, Linksys WGA600N and Netgear WGE111) do not require special drivers and can be used under almost any operating system. Not all models (or versions of a model) offer WPA security. You could connect a wireless Ethernet bridge directly to each computer (the Ethernet port). Alternatively, it ought to be possible to use wired Ethernet (via a switch) between the computers, and then one bridge device as a connection point to an existing wireless network.

Can't complete wireless setup for new router. Printer keeps looking for old router.

I'm not able to connect my printer to my new wireless modem. My printer continues to look for the older wireless modem. I'm using windows 8. In setup, when it gets to the window "change usb to wireless," my printer can't be found. I printed out the HP Network Configuration Page and it shows that the new network is "discovered." On the Diagnostics Summary, the "Wireless On" and Wireless Working" passes, but "Network Name (SSID) Found" is Fail.
Where in Win8 can I find my router properties? I might can enter the printer WPS PIN there, but can't find it! Thank you for any help!

@judyw217, Welcome to the forums!
I hope to help you with the connection issues you're having when trying to connect your Deskjet F4580 to your "new network" as you now have a new router. I have a few ideas in mind that you can try to get started!
First try power cycling the network devices. Sometimes all of the devices just need a restart!:
Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer.
Now check to see if your SSID is found (your network).
If the network is still not found, try running the Print and Scan Doctor on your computer to see if the tool can detect your printer and add it to the network.
If the printer is still not connecting to your router, check your router settings. If you need assistance checking the router settings, contact your router provider. I will let you know which options you are looking to check:
Network name and password to have no spaces or punctuation.
If using WPA2 security, switch to WPA personal.
Dual broadcast Wireless b/g/n (printer may connect to g).
Turn Mac Filtering Off.
Firewall settings need to be at there default settings, or set to a lower security.
Multicasting "on".
Following ports need to be un-blocked:
Incoming (UDP) ports : 137, 138, 161, 427
Outgoing (TCP) ports : 137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500
Just to add, here are instructions to help you with Setting Up the Printer for a Wireless Network for the HP Deskjet F4580 and F4583 All-in-One Printers

Which wireless adaptor for my macpro?

Hey everyone. Can someone please advise me on the best wireless card (usb/pci) to use for my macpro, details of which are -
Quad 2.0 gig
10.4.10v1.1
3gigs ram
Can't think of any other info you would need really. Another thing, and perhaps this might be asking much but would there be a wireless card/adaptor thingy that works both on my Mac OS and when switch over to Windows which is regularly?
Thanks for your help chaps and chapettes.
Dev.

I'm in the same boat...kicking myself for not getting the wireless option built-in when I ordered mine last year. Anyway, what do you mean by long range? I have a two story hours and my router (Airport Extreme) is on the 2nd floor left-hand side with my MP plugged into it today. Tomorrow, I will relocate my MP to the 1st floor right-hand side of my house. If I had to guess, I would estimate 20 - 25 meters in a straight line through walls and a ceiling. I currently have a TiVo downstairs with access but this might be a bit further. What do you think my options are? I’m just wondering if I should carry my MP to the nearest Apple Store and have them install the wireless option. I guess I could get another AirPort Extreme and put it next to my MP?

What Wireless Card for Satellite A10-S213

Hi,
My laptop is A10-S213. I am going to go wireless next week. I think I need to buy a wireless card in order to be wireless enabled. Could someone tell me _*WHAT*_ kind of card should I buy and _*WHERE*_ would be the best value place to get it from?
P.S.: I checked the product specification, it says 802.11b.
Many thanks.
Florence

Hello
According notebook specification your A10 is WLAN ready and it can be upgraded with WLAN card.
As compatible cards I have founded Wireless LAN card PA3212U-4MPC (Agere 802.11b) and PA3273U-2MPC (802.11a/b). Google a little bit around and pick up info about price and shops where you can order it.
Bye and good luck!

Time Capsule and USB Wireless adaptor for PC

I can't seem to find a USB wireless adapter that I can use to connect my Windows XP desktop PC with my Time Capsule/Airport. I have a Notebook PC that I was able to connect with no problem using my existing wireless PC card. I have tried several USB adapters for my desktop, but nothing sees my network. I've also tried to update to the latest drivers for my adapters. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, any answers?

There is no difference between the TC and other routers as far as networking is concerned. It is fully compliant to the usual standards.
Your wireless USB network adapters should work just fine. A lot will depend on how you have your TC configured. If it is setup for 802.11n only, then if your USB adapters are 802.11b or g, they won't be able to see it. If you have the TC's SSID disabled, they won't be able to see it. If you are using WPA2 and the USB adapters only support WEP or WPA security, they won't work either.
You typically have to find the lowest common denominator and configure everything based on that.

Issue in connecting to the internet wireless with my Linksys

OK. Here's the deal. I am entirely frustrated and also over my head trying to solve this on my own as I have no idea what I'm doing.
I have a Mac Powerbook, OS X (3.9). I have always connected to the internet wirelessly through my Linksys router (Wireless B Access Point, Model Wap 11).
I have recently moved and now use Comcast for my internet. When they installed my internet, I had not yet unpacked my wireless router, so I was set up to be connected via the actual cable plugged in. Now that the router is all set up, I cannot for the life of me get my wireless to work. Currently, I can use the internet wirelessly in other homes/school no problem. In those cases, I don't do anything, I just turn on my computer and it connects automatically. But for some reason in my apartment I cannot make it work.
I *think* the problem lies somewhere in the IP address area? If I look at my Airport settings and go to the TCP/IP tab, there is no information contained on the screen. Meaning, in the area where it says IP Address, Subnet Mask and Router, there is NO data listed, just gray empty space. The same goes for the DNS Servers and Search Domains areas, but at least in that case there is a white box to input text.
I can choose the "Configure IPv4 Using DHCP Manually" and that will let me input numbers, but I have no idea if I should even be playing around with this.
Also, perplexing me even more, is the fact that I can choose my Linksys internet connection through the Airport screen, and when I have selected it, I show full bars. But I can't actually connect.
Silly me, I attempted to call Comcast for help with the issue, but they say that as long as I can connect to the internet in any way (plugged in) then they do not care that I can't connect wirelessly.
I miss checking my email in bed...someone please help!!!
Thanks a million in advance for any and all help.

Are u talking about routers username , password? Well there is one routers username ,password (default is "admin") and the other is your cable ISP username , password (on the routers webpage). I am talking about the latter. If nothing works, try resetting your router ... You will have to configure it again (doesnt take much time if you know it).

Wireless connection for emac with OS 9 and (i think it has OS X 10.4.11)

my daughter bought an emac from her school. It was not set up with the airport connection, so I bought a Netgear USB wireless adaptor, but it only supports a mac with 10.3v or higher. In researching her computer we found a file that had an X and restarted her computer to start in the X 10.4.11 version. It re-started so we put the start up cd for the adaptor in to set it up and it still won't work. Does that mean the computer does not have X 10.4.11? How do I know for sure if the computer has it or not? She needs a wireless adaptor because the router is downstairs and cannot be moved. Very confused and frustrated!! any information would be greatly appreciated.

If you have the eMac booted up, click on the Apple (far left side of the top menu). In the window that opens, you'll see what the OS is.
 Cheers, Tom

Linksys Router + iBook + PC = Need Security set up!

Hello
I have a G3 iBook running 10.3.9 (wireless) and a Linksys router.
I now also have PC laptop running Windows XP Home edition (wireless).
I have been able to set up the Mac and PC both to work with the router, however, I need to set up security! There are several security options on the Linksys Admin site, and I'm not sure which is best, and will work for these two different worlds. Any help or articles on what to use and How to set it up??
Thanks,
Bonnie
iBook Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Point your browser to the next default address:
http://192.168.1.1
The default password is "admin", and no user should be entered.
There you can change the network settings of your wireless network (and wired too). I suggest you use WPA.
Here are more detailed indications.

Linksys router interupts service often

I have my PC and G5 hooked up by hard wire to my linksys router. My Powerbook is wireless. My linksys router oftern interupts the internet service. Sometimes everday. I know its the router because I have unplugged my internet line from the router and plugged it into the modem and the internet works.
My only solution at this point is to shut down my G5, unplug the modem and router. Once the G5 is shut down, I plug the modem back in, then the router. Once those are going, I turn my G5 on and the internet is back up....at least for a day.
Does anyone know how I can fix this interruption? The only other observation I have noticed is that most of the time, the interruption happens after either my G5 or powerbook were asleep, then I hoped onto the internet.
Thanks.

Wireless connections have been lots of trouble for Airport. Firmware updates have improved reception. And some improvements with OS updates.
Newer router? latest firmware?
Loss of connection on wake from sleep was noted in MacFixit article.
Are you using 10.4.5 or something more current?
