Wireless Notebook using WRT54G V.6

My question is if I currently have one desktop and a laptop with wireless built in and have been able to access my network through the laptop by going to "View available Networks" and just always connecting to my network when I access the internet; is there anything else I need to do?? should I also run the Linksys setup CD through the laptop or just leave it as it already stands?? Also, it seems that sometimes my router will disconnect on its own and I always have to go back in the setup through explorer and reconnect it. Is there something to make it so I can just boot up the system and access the internet without having to keep doing this from time to time? thanks for any help and I have the Wireless WRT54G Version 6 with the update of 1.01.1

hi...as u have the wireless connection working on the laptop , u need not run the set up cd on it...try accessing the router using http://192.168.1.1 and logon by the password "admin"...once on the set up page , go to the "wireless" tab and change the ssid , try out channel - 1 or 11 and under the "advanced wireless settings" , change the beacon interval - 50 , fragmentation threshold and RTS - 2304

Wireless repeater using wrt54g and wap54g

i am having problems connecting my wrt54g and wap54g as wireless repeater. my setup is as follows: 1. wrt54g (192.168.1.10) is connected to a dsl provider modem/router (192.168.1.1) (dhcp server). With this setup i do not have any problems connecting my wired pc and laptop to the network. 2. on my 2nd floor the signal is faint thus i need to extend the wireless signal. 3. i have a wap54g (192.168.1.12) that i would like to repeat the signal of the wrt54g. 4. i tried the guide from the website but it was general thus there are some settings (recommended) that are missing. questions: 1. does the 2 wireless ap need to have the same SSID, channel and wep settings? 2. what should be the gateway for the wap54g? 192.168.1.1? 3. when using wifi, would i see 2 access point? or a single 1 and whoever is nearer? 4. does the wrt54g need to be a dhcp server? or the 192.168.1.1 can do that. 5. does my ideal setup be 2 AP and not 1 wireless router/ap and 1 ap? 6. can the wrt54g use wireless distribution mesh? 7. i cannot see my wrt54g from the firware downloads, mine is v7 and there are only v6 and v8? am from asia and this might be an asian version? any help would be appreciated.

what i did was the following: 1. enable wap54g as a wireless client to look for the main ssid. 2. copy the mac address to the option for wireless repeater. 3. i can now use the wap54g as a repeater. when i shut down everything and turn it on, i cannot again hook up. again, i have to do the steps above for the wap54g to act as a repeater. any idea on what the problem is? i am sure that what i am putting on the mac address is correct. even when i shut down and turn on all router and accesspoints. the connection seems lost.

I have been using WRT54G wireless broadband router and WU...

I have been using WRT54G wireless broadband router and WUSB54G on my home PC for the last 2 years. It was working fine until recently I encountered serious connection problem.
The WUSB54G cannot connect with WRT54G.
Error message " Cannot assocaite with the access point.
I have checked the followings to try and solve the problem.
1) Refresh site survey the WUSB54G does not show my SSID, but it can show my neighbour'sSSID.
3) When I use my notebook with built-in wireless network adaptor to access wirelss broadband there is no problem at all. I can access my SSID.
4) I have try reseting the WRT54G and changing password but still can not solve the problem.
5) Uninstall and re-install
5) I have installed a new USB adapter (WUSB54GG) thinking that it could be the old WUSB54G is faulty. But still encounter same problem.
I am using Window XP Professional. What could be the problem?
Please provide your professional advice. Thank you.

Hi, Try to update firmware of router. You can get latest version from www.linksys.com/download, Hope it will help you

Howto use WRT54G router to make satellite receiver LAN terminal wirelessly connectected?

Hi,
I have a satellite receiver with Ethernet LAN port connection point. I also have wireless network in my house to connect my computers wirelessly to internet.
Is it possible to make this satellite receiver wirelessly connected to my wireless home network by using WRT54G router attached to it?
If yes:
1)Which terminal of WRT54G router I must use for interconnection with satellite receiver ?
2)What I should do to configure WRT54G to achieve my goal, and how?
Thanks,

Thank you very much for the first reply.
However let me simplify my question this way:
In order to make satellite receiver part of my wireless home network, is it possible to use WRT54G as wireless adapter by connecting it with an Ethernet cable to LAN terminal (which has Ethernet connector) of the satellite receiver?
If the answer yes:
WRT54G has 4 Ethernet connectors marked 1,2,3&4 for LAN and one marked as Internet for ADSL modem.
1) To which connector of the WRT54G I must connect the cable end coming from satellite receiver LAN terminal?
2) What should I do (step by step please) to configure WRT54G to achieve my goal?
Thanks.

Wireless Link two wrt54g

I have a floorplan that pretty much eliminates my being able to get Ethernet cabling between my Computer area and Home Entertainment center.
When it was just Tivo I linked it to the existing wrt54g - no problem.
Just added XBox 360, upgraded Cable Box(needs Internet also and Would like to add a slingbox.
At the local Fry's I had the option of purchasing 2-3 access points ($75 a pop) but the Tech guy recommended purchasing another wrt54g and bridging the two. It made sense.
First one is
192.168.1.254 (since I have a DSL router at 192.168.1.1)
Operating mode = router
Using Mac Filter for security
Lan cable in the hub side --
works great for Laptop, tivo, etc
Second one is
192.168.1.253
Operating mode = router
All three macs placed in the MAc Filter List for #1
Wireless channels are the same.
Security off.
#1 doesnt see #2 on the wireless network(I check the mac list to see if attached)
This just the wrong idea or plan? IF yes - suggestion on a better one.
Suggestions on what to fix or review

I think what you need is a Wireless Bridge using 2 WRT54G's. You will have to flash one router with DD-WRT v23 SP2 in order for this to work. I recommend you use a WRT54GL v1.1 for the secondary router/client bridge. It has more RAM and Flash Memory. HERE is a link to a wireless bridge tutorial.
I have this setup in my home and it works great. No drops, steady connection, real easy setup.

No connectivity with wireless notebook but has connectivity with wired desktops in the network

Hello! My name is Annie. I have a BEFW11s4 LinkSys Wireless Access Point / Cable Router with 4-Port Switch version2.1. My three desktops are hard wired into the router and have no problem with connectivity to each of three computers in my home network and to the internet.
My problem is that my wireless notebook does not see the router. There is no connectivity or does not see wireless network in range. The notebook is about two feet away in distance from router and wireless switch of my notebook is on. The WLAN Link is Green and the Link LED illuminates, which means that the wireless option is enabled.
Please help! I travel with notebook often for work and need to connect to the home network and internet once I am home. The notebook has no problem with a different wireless router when at work( 2WIRE). It's when I get home that I encounter the problem when I am using the wireless linksys described above. I also change the preference in my notebook to make sure the home linksys router is the first in the list of wireless router. I only have two in thelist (2WIRE and linksys)
Thanks,
Annie

annie no need to do the reset since 3desktops are working already...you can see linksys maybe thats your own network since you never mention about any wireless settings with your wireless access point, right?
so to make sure that you have the right settings check your access point screen or the configuration page to check or to futher configure the wireless the settings...try to name your own network so would identify our own network...

Having trouble with multiple wireless users on WRT54G router

Basically, there are 3 of us wirelessly sharing the internet via a linksys WRT54G router. I have our router password-protected, to avoid randoms stealing out broadband. I am a Mac user (3 year old computer), the other 2 are on PC laptops.
At the moment, I have an excellent internet connection, and it's working just fine. However, if my room mate connects with their laptop (a fairly new model), my internet connection stops working. I still have a signal, but it just really slows down/often stops working entirely. It's as if their wireless connection takes priority and ignores mine (essentially nullifying the router's purpose).
Has anyone come across a problem like this before? Your assistance would be super helpful and appreciated.

Hi, perhaps you may try the following steps to improve the performance of your router:
• Upgrade the router’s firmware
• Reset the router after the firmware upgrade
• Optimize the router’s wireless settings
• Use a wifi analyzer like http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/ to set a non overlapping channel to the router
• Relocate the router on a more central location for better wireless coverage
• Avoid placing the router on a glass or metallic surface

Wireless G model WRT54G VERSION 8

I have Wireless G model WRT54G VERSION 8 and I was wondering is there anyway for me to turn off the wireless part cause I have no use for it right now. I just want to use the wired connections ports to connect my computer and my xbox360.

User's manual, page 9, wireless network mode.

HT5022 I'm trying to add a "new client" to my wireless network using Airport Utility, but I can't find that option in the new version. I've downloaded all available updates of the OS and the utility.. Help!

I'm trying to add my HP wireless printer as a "new client" to my wireless network using Airport Utility, but I can't find that option in the new version. I've downloaded all available updates of the OS and the utility.. Help!

Why would you need to ADD a new Client. Unless the APE sytem is completely different then any other Wireless router the printer should get an IP address from the router. That is IF the printer is setup to get an IP from the LAN DHCP server.
Now you may want to make that IP it does get a Staticly assign IP address so it never changes, which will screw up printing if it does change. But i don't know if you can do that with APE routers.

How do you know if someone else is attempting access to your wireless network? (WRT54G)

I searched adn tried the Linksys FAQ to no avail to get an answer to the subject question.
Is there any way to verify who is actually using or trying to attempt use of your wireless network, if so, where do I locate and view this information?
I just set up a wireless system so my wife could get access from her wireless equipped laptop, but I really see no area to verify who is actually using the wireless network or if some other outside source/person is attempting to get access.
Any info on where, how and what to do to view this type of info would be greatly appreciated and if it can't be, shouldn't there be something added to the system that would allow one to view all users accessing their wireless system?
Thank you,
Clay Fugitte

Tracking down who is using your wireless system is usually difficult or impossible. The router only knows the MAC address of the connecting computer. MAC addresses can be faked. Even if you knew the MAC address of the person connecting, what can you do with that info? Go around the neighborhood asking people "Is this your MAC address?"
Instead of worrying about who is connecting to your wireless, you should simply set up wireless security. This will keep intruders off your wireless network. Then you don't need to worry about who is connecting.
It sounds like you are running an unsecured wireless router. When you run an unsecured wireless router, anyone within range can login and use your Internet connection. At a minumum, this means that they will be using your bandwidth. At worst, they could be uploading copyrighted music, sending spam email, distributing viruses, or downloading child pornography --- all from an account with your name on it! So my advice is --- secure your wireless network.
To set up wireless security, do the following:
First of all, to setup wireless security, you must use a computer that is wired to the router.
Where to find the router settings: The router's login password is usually on one of the "Administration" pages. The other settings are all found in the "Wireless" section of the router's setup pages, located at 192.168.1.1
First, give your router a unique SSID. Don't use "linksys".
Make sure "SSID Broadcast" is set to "enabled".
Next, leave the router at its default settings (except for the unique SSID), and then use your pc to connect wirelessly to the router. Test your wireless Internet connection and make sure it is working correctly. You must have a properly working wireless connection before setting up wireless security.
To implement wireless security, you need to do one step at a time, then verify that you can still connect your wireless computer to the router.
Next, encrypt your wireless system using the highest level of encryption that all of your wireless devices will support. Common encryption methods are:
WEP - poor (see note below)
WPA (sometimes called PSK, or WPA with TKIP) - good
WPA2 (sometimes called PSK2, or WPA with AES) - best
WPA and WPA2 sometimes come in versions of "personal" and "enterprise". Most home users should use "personal". Also, if you have a choice between AES and TKIP, and your wireless equipment is capable of both, choose AES. With any encryption method, you will need to supply a key (sometimes called a "password" ).
The wireless devices (computers, printers, etc.) that you have will need to be set up with the SSID, encryption method, and key that matches what you entered in the router.
Retest your system and verify that your wireless Internet connection is still working correctly.
And don't forget to give your router a new login password.
Picking Passwords (keys): You should never use a dictionary word as a password. If you use a dictionary word as a password, even WPA2 can be cracked in a few minutes. When you pick your login password and encryption key (or password or passphrase) you should use a random combination of capital letters, small letters, and numbers, but no spaces. A login password, should be 12 characters or more. WPA and WPA2 passwords should be at least 24 characters. Note: Your key, password, or passphrase must not have any spaces in it.
Most home users should have their routers set so that "remote management" of the router is disabled. If you must have this option enabled, then your login password must be increased to a minumum of 24 random characters.
One additional issue is that Windows XP requires a patch to run WPA2. Go to Microsoft Knowledge base, article ID=893357 and it will direct you to the patch.
Sadly, the patch is not part of the automatic Windows XP updates, so lots of people are missing the patch.
Note:
WEP is no longer recommended. The FBI has demonstrated that WEP can be cracked in just a few minutes using software tools that are readily available over the Internet. Even a long random character password will not protect you with WEP. You should be using WPA or preferably WPA2 encryption.

Wireless-G Model WRT54GS V7 Firmware 7.50.0 - easylink Advisor 1.5.1044

I have a Wireless-G Model WRT54GS V7.50.0 Firmware for easylink Advisor 1.5.1044
Connected to a highspeed connection, and then connected (Hardwired in port 1 of router) to a Dell system running XP SP3.
I bought a new Laptop that is running Windows 7 and the laptop causes the connections to drop when it is powered on.
Then the laptop is always dropping the connection and re-establishing the connection. Is this problem because of windows 7?
If I do not bring the laptop up, i can run the desktop with no problem. Running WPA security mode.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
John

Is your Desktop computer is a Wired or Wireless? Are you facing the problem only on your Windows 7 Computer or on all the wireless computers?
You can try to change the Wireless Settings on your Router and check if that makes any difference...
Login to the setup page of your Router and click on the Wireless tab.... and below change the Wireless Channel to 11-2.462GHz and click on Save settings.... Then click on the Sub tab "Advance Wireless Settings" and below Change the Beacon Interval to 50 .....Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 ....Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

HELP I have a wireless Linksys router WRT54G connected through my cable company broadband modem on a Mac. I have another computer to which I installed wireless capability because it didn't come with it. This required attching some piece of equipment to the back of the PC which enabled it to get on the internet without another cable modem. My question is this. If I get an iphone or a laptop(with built in wireless ability) will I automatically be able to go on the web because of the router on the Mac.

yes certainly... if you get any wireless device in network that would certainly connects to a wireless n/w of router...

JMF crashed with Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebook using latest driver.

JMF crashed with Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebook using latest driver
I can't register the webcam in JMF. WinXP crashed with Blue-screen-of-dead.
The crash occurs on installation of JMF when the installer tries to detect my capture devices.
Windows also crashes when i open the JMF Registry Editor and tell it to search for my capture devices.
I use a QuickCam Pro for Notenooks with driver version 11.80.1065.0000 on Windows XP with JMF 2.1.1e.
PS: I can use JMF to connect to other brand's webcam.
So, how to solve it?

So, how to solve it?JMF apparently doesn't work with that camera...so if you want to install JMF, you should unplug your Logitech cam. If that doesn't work, uninstall it.

Living in apartment, here it has only wireless (no wired cable in the room). I've an airport express (new ) so how can I do for extending signal (wireless) for using in myroom

Living in an apartment, here it has only wireless (no wired cable in the room) signal using for the internet connection. I've an airport express (new) ,so how can I do for extending signal (wireless) for using in myroom. because the wireless signal is so weak.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to. In order to do so, you would have to configure both the AirPort Express and the other wireless router for a WDS. Since it will unlikely that the other router is another AirPort, nor will you have the ability to administer it, you won't be able to get this accomplished.
