"wireless repeater" for SRX200

My panasonic viera HDTV requires an ethernet jack wireless adapter. I have only found USB types. What do you suggest I use for wifi access? (Have an SRX 200 router)

Thanks Don! (Corleone that is), Funny that cisco or panasonic don't have any recommendations. Grazie mile!

Wireless repeater for wrt320n?

Hi all,
After five years my wrt54g failed and I replaced it with a fine working wrt320n, assuming my wap54g would also work as a wireless repeater on this new router. Wrong assumption, this only seems to work with a wrt54g.
Both devices run the latest Linksys firmware, and wired it works fine, but that's not an option.
So now I need a replacement AP that supports this function to expand the range of the wrt320n, OR another router that my old AP works on. Though I prefer to keep using the new router of course.
I searched the web and found devices like:
http://www.hawkingtech.com/products/productlist.php?CatID=19&FamID=84&ProdID=394
but I can't be sure this will work.
WAP610n sounded promising, but it does not support wireless repeater mode. Also read about the wap4400n and several other products. Point is, I want to be sure it will work before I buy anything. Can anyone tell me what solution will work?
Thanks in advance for any reply!

I had the same problem and bought the Hawking unit. It does work, and setup is not to bad. They have a good Tech support when you run into trouble. The only problem I run into is when I power down the Linksys, the repeater losses its IP address and you have to reinstall. Takes abot 2 minutes, but is a pain.

Can WRG54G be a wireless repeater for WRG54GC or vice versa?

I have a WRG54GC on second floor off cable modem and works wirelessly to 2 PCs. However, I do not have signal on the first floor opposite side of house. I cannot move the access point as that's where the cable modem comes in. Can the other router I have be programmed to act as a wireless repeater? Or vice versa?. If not, does the WRG54G have a longer range than the WRG54GC?

well..the router only works as an access point..it cannot work as a wireless bridge or wireless repeater ...
in order to repeat the wireless signal , you can get a wireless range expander ...

Wireless repeater

Is it possible to configure Cisco Aironet 1131AG access point to act as a wireless repeater for traditional ADSL Wifi Routers?
after finishing the below config on the Cisco Aironet 1131AG access point it didn't work and i'm very tired:
AP# configure terminal
AP(config)# interface dot11radio 0
AP(config-if)# ssid Guest
AP(config-ssid)# infrastructure-ssid
AP(config-ssid)# exit
AP(config-if)# station-role repeater
AP(config-if)# dot11 extensions aironet
AP(config-if)# parent 1 09c1.1e34.e345 900
AP(config-if)# end
what i have to do to get my access point work ?????????????

The question is, does your repeater associate with the AP or is the issues that your laptop doesn't associate to the SSID from the repeater.

Onfigure a WAP54G to act as a repeater for my wireless network hosted by a Cisco/Linksys WAP610AP

How can I configure a WAP54G to act as a repeater for my wireless network hosted by a Cisco/Linksys WAP610AP
I am using ONLY 2.4GHz wireless band on the WAP610AP running Firmware Version 1.0.04
The signal from WAP610AP is weak in my home office and I would like to use the WAP54G as the repeater. Is this possible? If yes, please help!
TIA

This statement is according to the WAP’s user interface: When set to "AP Client" and "WirelessBridge" mode, this device will only communicate with another Linksys Access Point (WAP54G). When set to "Wireless Repeater" mode, this device will only communicate with another Linksys Access Point (WAP54G) and Linksys Wireless-G Router (WRT54G). In a nutshell, the WAP54G may have a big possibility that it will not work on that device.

Airport Express as wireless repeater

Hi all, just wondering if anyone could give me a hand. I have just bought an Airport Express (not arrived just yet) not just for streaming music, but for extending my network. I am a student and have just moved into my new house. The internet here already is fine, the people here before me have given me the password to the encryption but not to the account or the router. This will all change in September, however. The router is a Netgear DG834PN. My iMac is having difficulty connecting to the network, I think this is due to the distance it is away from the router, as when I connect the iMac upstairs (nearer to it) it connects fine, hence the desire for a wireless repeater. Will I be able to use the Airport Express as a repeater? If not, what must I do? Must I get an Apple wireless router as well? Will a time capsule be fine? Please remember I cannot access the DG834PN's graphical interface at all.
Thanks in advance,
Jake

You will need to run an ethernet cable from the netgear to your airport express. then setup the airpor express as an access point. As you don't have access to the WebUI of the router then you wont be able to setup the airport express as a WDS or wireless repeater.
The other option would be to connect a timecapsule to the router via ethernet. Setup the time capsule as a bridge to the router. Then you would be able to extend the wireless network with an airport express.

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.

Need Help using WRT54GL as Wireless Bridge for Xbox

Hi.
I need help configuring my WRT54GL as a wireless bridge for my xbox.
I have a Billion BiPAC 7404VGO currently in service as my main router/modem. i.e. I have my ADSL connection and PC connected to this. I also connect to this with a laptop.
I have an original xbox at the other end of the house (cat5 NOT an option).
Basically I want to connect my xbox to the rest of network. I have a WRT54GL I can use for this. I just dont know how to set it up.
The WRT54GL has Firmware Version: v4.30.7 (out of the box).
My Wireless network is using WPA.
I have a VPN setup through to work via the Billion.
The idea is to stream media from my PC to the xbox (media centre).
Any help would be HUGELY appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

A wireless router is a device which requires its own wired internet connection. A wireless router is not a wireless access point like the Linksys WAPs. A wireless router does not connect wireless to other wireless routers/APs with standard Linksys firmware. With Linksys firmware you need a WAP54G or similar. The WAPs support wireless bridging and repeater mode.
If you already have a WRT54GL then you have to install a 3rd party firmware which adds wireless bridging capabilities. Read the wikipedia article on "WRT54G" for information about which WRT models support 3rd party firmware and an overview of projects and links.
Remember, however, that you may brick your router if you install a 3rd party firmware incorrectly and you probably void the warranty if you install 3rd party firmware (it is even possible to find out after you restore the original Linksys firmware if you don't clear the NVRAM before).

WAP54G Wireless Repeater still has problems after setup

I have a WAP54G configured as a Wireless Repeater to my WRT54GS router. I have configured all equipment on my wireless network (192.169.1.xxx) with static IP's. My Router MAC has been entered in the WAP54G and the link works . . . kinda . . . .sorta. . . .with issues
I also have an A/V receiver hard-wired to the RJ-45 at the Wireless Repeater.  I am able to access Internet Radio stations on the A/V Receiver thru the Wireless Repeater uplinked to the Router and out to Internet. I also have a Synology NAS which is hard-wired back at my WRT54GS router. Although the A/V Receiver can "see" all audio files and folders on my network NAS, I am unable to play any of the MP3 files. The Receiver will immediately display "Access Error". As a test, if I temporarily plug the NAS network directly into the A/V Receiver (threreby bypassing all of my home networking) all MP3's will play fine.  Therefore, the problem must either be in the WAP54G, the WRT54GS, or the configuration in one or both of them..
My connections are:
A/V Receiver ------ WAP54GS {{{{{{{{{ wireless }}}}}}}}}}} WRT54GS ----- CABLE Modem ------- Internet
I also have a NAS directly hard-wired into one of the WRT54GS RJ-45 ports.
My questions::
1. When configured as a Wireless Repeater, wll the WAP54G still fully function with hard-wired devices connected directly into the RJ-45 port (as I currently have it set up)? Most all of the literature and articles I've seen concentrate on the expansion of the Wi-Fi portion of the Wireless Repeater only and make minimal or no mention of using the integral RJ-45 port.
2. Since the WAP54G Wireless Repeater has a separate actual IP address, do I need to do any changes to addressing on either my A/V Receiver, NAS? or Router Specifically, does the Wireless Repeater become fully "transparent" to my home network or do I need to re-enter different IP addresses, port forwarding or port trigerring? (This is the stuff I don't really understand.)
3. Should the system basically function as I have described or is there anything I'm obviously missing that would prevent the A/V Receiver from properly communicating with the NAS thru the Wireless Repeater and the Router?
All replys or suggestions gratefully appreciated.

Thanks for the reply,
As far as your sketch is concerned . . .Yes, that is what I attempted to describe in my earlier postings.
Before my first post, I attempted to verify as much as I was able.
I noted earlier that I had tried AP Client and could not get it to work. Literature for the WAP states that the only mode which can connect a WAP to a WRT router is the Wireless Repeater mode. On the WAP, both AP Client, and Wireless Bridge modes state that each will only communicate with another (second) WAP (there is no mention of WRT in those modes). That would require a second WAP and yet more $$$, just to uplink ONE RJ-45 to my router.  OK, since it can't damage anything, I tried the other modes just for "grins & giggles". It resulted in a very-unhappy wireless network. All network devices poped up with IP-Conflict errors and the network came to a crashing halt.  This is why I ended up with Wireless Repeater mode.
Yes, with the WAP configured as Wireless Repeater, I AM able to easily ping the receiver from anywhere on my network. In fact, I've tried 3-4 different ethernet devices plugged into the RJ-45 port of the WAP and I can ping them all.  Amazingly, every other ethernet device I plug into thje WAP work perfectly  . . except streaming music from my NAS to my A/V receiver. At that point, I suspected the receiver has a network port problem except it perfectly streams internet radio thru the WAP.  The only thing the WAP will not stream successfully is music from my NAS. I should also clarify that ALL firewall features on my NAS are disabled because it is already on the secure side of my router. Therefore, I'm positive nothing in the NAS is blocking access from the WAP.  I've also verified my other 3 home PC's can access the NAS. Two PC's are hard-wired to my router net and one PC is a laptop with wi-fi linked to my WRT router (all are on my 192.168.1.xxx network).  The REALLY screwy part is that I CAN display all files and folders on the NAS from the receiver . . they just won't successfully play without giving a network error message. Lastly, as a test, I've even temporarily disabled all wi-fi security. Result is identical.
To eliminate everything but the WAP, I temporarily stretched a 75' Cat-5 cable between the receiver and my WRT router. With no other changes or setting mods, it immediately works perfectly. Seriously, I've spent dozens & dozens of hours on this. I"ve even borrowed another WAP from a friend (same version & newest firmware revision) and once it is configured, it does the exact same thing. I've even did a WAP hardware "Reset" and reconfigured it from scratch . . . also same thing.
Again, to clarify, ALL of this is on the same side of my home network. Everything is within my 192.168.1.xxx. I've triple-checked that I have no IP confilicts, I've tried both DHCP and using static IP's.  I've even tried disconnecting ALL other devices except for my receiver, the WAP and the WRT with the same results.   I am NOT trying to access any of this from the internet side of my router, so I shouldn't need to mess with port forwarding amd all that. Everything says it "should" work . . . but yet it doesn't, on TWO different WAP devices. All I can figure out is that the RJ-45 port on the WAP is not "fully transparent" when configured as a Wireless Repeater. The literature does not state whether it is or if the device is designed as a Wi-Fi repeater only.
Since I'm only trying to get a single RJ-45 device up-linked to my router, I'm inclined to pick up a $30 ethernet to wi-fi gaming adapter, throw my old WAP on the shelf and get a beer. It should work, and I've spent WAY too much time on this already.

Hardware/Software Compatibility Question With Wireless Repeater

Hey Discussions,
This is a simple question that's more along the lines of a hardware issue. I havea wireless connection in my building that I need to boost so I will be able to have a stronger and faster connection. From what I've gathered in my newbie networking skills, I'll need a wireless repeater to accomplish this task.
I need two things from the masses:
A suggestion for a wireless repeater (preferably one that's universal, as I don't know anything about the router that is supplying the Internet...don't ask.)
And a simple way to set this up so it will be able to work with both my Mac mini and a laptop running Windows XP.
Sound easy enough, yet I can't figure anything out. Any help will be appreciated!
-Mateo

You're heading down a slippery slope. Be careful.
Frist, define why you think you need to boost the signal.
When you're connected, how many 'bars' do you have on your AirPort signal strength meter? If that's low, then fair enough, otherwise something else is going on and a repeater might not help.
For example, your connection could be slow because there are many people using the wireless network (the wireless bandwidth is shared between all wireless clients.
It could also be slow because your upstream link (from the base station to the rest of the network) is saturated
It could also be slow if the server you're using is overloaded (especially if you're using a proxy server that's proxying all your web traffic since that would affect all sites, not just one).
If you have a good signal then a repeater (e.g. WDS) is going to degrade performance, not increase it, so it's important to determine the cause before you try to implement a 'fix'.

Use Linksys WAP54G as wireless repeater with BTHom...

I have been trying all day to use an 'old' Linksys WAP54G to act as a wireless repeater, so I can do wireless internet in a far corner of our house. I presume that this has already been done successfully by one of our forum members? Anybody that can help me please and point me in the right direction? Thanks.
Solved!

Does Cisco WAP4410N work as repeater for Linksys E4200 ?

Does Cisco WAP4410N work as repeater for Linksys E4200 ?
Hi,

Can anybody help me with this issue ?
BR

Thx for answer
I tested it and it works as Wireless Client - computer connected by ethernet wire is OK, everything works (DHCP etc)
but when i turn on " Allow wireless station to associate" in WAP4410N settings of "Wireless Client/Repeater" it doesn't work at all
I mean clients on wireless side and on wire side too ( DHCP doesnt work , there is no communication )

AEBS as wireless repeater

Hi,
I'm using my Xbox 360 for streaming video. The TV and Xbox are upstairs, and my computer and modem are in the basement. I bought the Microsoft Xbox wireless network adapter to connect wirelessly to my iMac. According to the stats, the adapter is "Dual-Band 5GHz and 2.4GHz Wireless 802.11 A/B/G Home Network Compatible".
Using the adapter, I manage to connect wirelessly to my iMac, but the signal appears to be weak. When I try to stream video on the Xbox, the video runs for about 5-10 minutes before it stops and Xbox complains that it lost connection to my computer. Usually shutting down the Xbox and/or powering my modem on/off will make it reconnect, but only for another 5-10 minutes and then it dies again.
For what it's worth, when I use Internet Sharing on my iMac to allow my wife's notebook and iPod Touch to connect to the Internet, there's never a problem and never any signal drop outs wherever we are in the house.
I've read some posts on the forum about using AEBS as a wireless repeater, but it's not clear to me this would work as the Xbox is a Microsoft product.
Thanks.

Thanks for the information.
I would suggest that you try turning the encryption OFF (just for testing.)
• if that works and your XBOX holds the connection successfully, then just leave the encryption off
Channel "3" is a great channel (most wireless base stations have default settings on "1", "6", and "9")
• stay on "3"
Definitly check to see if that iPod touch works fine near the XBOX.
• if it does, then there is an issue with the XBOX's wireless adapter
• if it doesn't, then there is wireless interference in the area.

AppleTV and Wireless Repeater

I have a ATV2 connected wirelessly to my network. My connection was somewhat weak so I purchased a wireless repeater to boost the signal (Asus RT-N12). The main router for the Network is a D-Link 655.
Once I hooked up the repeater, the speed/signal is much better. I am able to connect to Netflix and stream, but I cannot access my Library from my iMac. The iMac is also connected to the library wirelessly. Homesharing is on the entire time.
If I unplug the repeater, the connection is weak/slow again, but I can connect to the library. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm having the exact same problem but I'm not sure I understood your instructions.
What I'm trying to do is to use airplay from my iPhone to my ATV2. When my iPhone is connected to the repeater and my ATV2 is connected to my primary wireless network, my iPhone doesn't show the option to airplay. When my iPhone and ATV2 are both connected to my primary wireless network it does.
The problem that you had ... was this the same as I described or was your problem that you couldn't use airplay when both devices were connected to the repeater?
Thanks

Will WRT54GL act as repeater for WRT54GL??

Im having trouble getting my WAP54g to speak with my wrt54gl. And the wrt54g is not available to purchase were i live, only the wrt54gl. So im thinking if the wrt54gl will speak flawlessly with another wrt54gl as repeater? Then i will buy another wrt54gl and flush the wap54gs down the toilet.
thanks

There is no way to set a 2nd WRT54GL as an Repeater. So you can buy 1 WRT54GL and a Range Expander WRE54G, As WRE54G is a Wireless Repeater and it will be best for your Network and it will solve your purpose.
