WRE54g as Universal Wireless Repeater?

Hi, I own a Wag200g wireless router and I would like to extend its range with a WRE54g product. Is this possible? Are they compatible? I read somewhere in this forum that you can use some versions of the WRE54g as a universal wireless repeater. Is this true? Which versions are usable as UWR? Please bring some light on this ^_^ Thank you!

I think this repeater is compatible with b/g 2.4 GHz wireless network. E3000 router is wireless N router. E3000 is also compatible with b/g wireless network. I think you should first contact the manufacturer of the repeater and make sure that it will work with N router. Sitecom WL-130 is basically wireless access point. You will need to configure it in repeater mode.
Follow this link to configure Sitecom WL-130 in repeater mode.

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'.

Can I add a second airport as a wireless repeater?

CAn I use a second airport extreme as a wifi repeater using the main router wifi?

I am hoping an airport express can work as a wireless repeater WITHOUT having to be connected into the LAN via Ethernet cabling. Is this possible? In the manual online it seems that it only works as an extender (i.e. it must be plugged into the network router/switch) and can't repeat a wifi signal from one wifi device to an apple extreme base station. Can someone confirm this?

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.

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 ...

Try downloading the keyboard driver from Palm.com, and installing it manually.
Which keyboard do you have? Ir or Bluetooth? I'm going to guess the IR one and give a link to the download:

Universal Wireless Keyboard driver - can't download?

A friend of mine recently bought an iPhone and gave his old Tx and Universal Wireless Keyboard to my family. I already have a Tx of my own, so I gave the extra Tx to my brother and I decided to keep the keyboard. My friend sent the cd-rom with the keyboard, but when i click to download, a box appears (either "please install PalmDesktop driver" or "please install Microsoft Active Sync Program").
After reading some other posts on here, I tried to download a driver from this link: http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,kb=PalmSupportKB,t=ooccase,case=obj(9372)
I've tried to download it three seperate times, but once I unzip the files and double click the icon it tells me my access is denied.
I wasn't able to use the software that came with my Tx, I had to download the software from the Palm website. I don't know if this may have something to do with my problems...?
I'm at a loss! Any help would be so appreciated.
Post relates to: Palm TX

If it's asking for Active Sync, you're trying to install the wrong driver! There are two on the disk: one for Palm OS devices, and one for Windows Mobile devices. BTW, if the driver on the disk is 1.08, don't install it! The newest one for the TX is version 1.13. If that's on the disk, go for it!
The drivers are supposed to be reinstated soon on the website, and we've been hounding Palm to get them back quickly.

Universal Wireless Keyboard 3169WWZ has letters not working

Hi all, can anyone help me. I have had the same problem with two of these keyboards. On the right hand side of the keyboard, there is a whole section that is 'dead'. The o,p, brackets, k,l,commas, periods, etc. do not register at all. I am extremely frustrated because this is the second keyboard with this problem. The first one lasted a few months and it is the same with this one. Any suggestions?

How sure are you about the one year warranty? I spent two hours on the phone with someone (who didn't seem to know his head from a hole in the ground) who waited that long into the call to inform me that the keyboard warranty is 90 days? Is is worth another call?
<sigh> I understand your frustration with the outsourced support group. I've had terrible experiences with them too.
I'm holding in my hands the "Limited Warranty" pamphlet for the Universal Wireless Keyboard (Palm pamphlet#: 406-10460-00). It states:
"HARDWARE: Palm, Inc. (Palm) warrants to the original end user (Customer) that new Palm branded products will be free from defects in workmanship and materials, under normal use, for one (1) year from the original purchase date. Palm warrants refurbished Palm products, marked and sold as such, for ninety (90) days from the original purchase date."
I'd call back, state the obvious mistake by the CSA (and who gets PAID to know this information!) and that you'd like to speak to a supervisor, or at least someone who can read English from the pamphlet mentioned.
The pamphlet goes on to say (you should have one or two of these!) that Palm has the choice to either refund your purchase cost, or send you a reconditioned unit as a replacement if the device cannot be repaired. Dated proof of purchase will also be required.

Unable to Install Universal Wireless Keyboard with the CD that came with the Palm Tungsten E2 on my Windows Vista OS. Can some help? Would Appreciate it very much.

I recently bought a Palm Tungsten E2. I have been unable to install the Universal Wireless Keyboard software that came with the E2. Went online and downloaded the version 1.13 UWK and that would not install either. What did I do wrong?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

For Vista that version will not let you install programs. Good news though is we have a version you can. Go here, http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/windesk62.html and install this on top of the version you already have. There is going to be a few changes on the desktop, there is no quick install, but the install tool.
Once you have that done just double click on keyboard and it will ask you your hotsync name and sync and your done.
Oh as a side note the check if this is your solution is only if the answer solves your original question.

WRT 160n v2 as a wireless repeater

I have a E4200 as my main router and would like to use my old WRT 160n v2 as a wireless repeater upstairs. I am getting the impression that I can't do that with v2...Is there any way I can make this work?

If the User Manual or the routers UI doesn't mention or display any Repeater funtions, then it would not be supported. The next best option would be to wired LAN to LAN AP mode and set it up as a additional wireless AP:

Or Cascade the router as BigDave mentioned.

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.

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.

Universal Wireless Keyboard Tungsten T5

Some years back I bought the PalmOne Universal Wireless Keyboard 3169WW for my Tungsten T5. When I had installed the driver I found that, even though the keyboard worked, I had lost half my screen. I could not rectify this, and had to do a hard reset (the works) to get my whole screen back. I then threw the keyboard into a drawer and forgot about it. Getting it out again recently I was tempted (silly me!) to try again. But caution prevailed and I thought I'd research other users first. This was frustrating (almost as frustrating as trying to register for this forum). Finally I thought to myself that they must have remedied this problem by now, only to see that the date on the download was still many years ago, suggesting that it was still the old, troublesome driver. Could someone tell me if I am heading for a half-screen experience still, if I download the driver? Begging.

Dear All,
Many thanks for the helpful replies. I held my breath and downloaded the recommended software from the Palm site. It worked! So far. The dreaded half-screen has not reappeared, so I guess I'm in the clear. My trusty T5 is working quite OK otherwise.
To the expert with the green print. Couldn't remember over those years which application I was in. All of them were affected I think. What's a DIA?
Thanks anyway.

Universal Wireless Keyboard by Palm: Keys do not work properly

4 keys on the right side of the keyboard (0, P, L, ".") do not work, and I find it very annoying, because it's been a common problem among all the Palm keyboard I have used.
I have owned 3 Palm keyboards so far. The first one was Palm Wireless Keyboard. It worked great at first, but after about 8 months of use, the keys on the right stopped working. It was not a software problem, I was sure, because I'd performed all the resets (soft, hard, you name it) but it did not resolve the problem. Since the keyboard was still under warranty, Palm replaced it with a new Palm Universal Wireless Keyboard. It worked great at first, but after several months of use, the keys on the right stopped working as well. Palm did not replace this keyboard but I got a new Palm TX around the time, and the Palm sent me Universal Wireless Keyboard free with it, so I just started using the new one, which, worked great at first, but then gave away after several months of use. And I'm TIRED of it.
The keys will work sometimes, but mostly don't, at least not promptly. If I hold down the troubled keys and wait long enough, sometimes they will start working. The keyboard makes a soft ticking noise when I press down on the normal keys, but the troubled ones don't, when they are not working, and I'm guessing this has to do with the wiring.
I was wondering how I can fix this problem. It is VERY annoying when the keys suddenly stops working when I'm taking notes in the class or just won't start working at all.
Post relates to: Palm TX

If the following iFixit repair guide doesn't help, then it is time for a replacement.

Additionally, you can use most any after-market or pc keyboard with a Mac.
Heck' I've been using $20 MK120 Keyboard/Mouse Combo's with all of my Mac's for years.
