WRE54G not working

I configured my range expander WRE54G and it worked (I got excellent signal strength). Then I unplugged it as per the instructions and moved it to to a location at the edge of the network but it did not work. Then I moved it back and connected it via the ethernet cable to the router again but it never worked again. I have two blue lights showing which I think means it is configured but I only get very poor signal strength. I don't know whether the range expander is not connected to the router or what. I would appreciate any help.

I assume your Wireless Range Expander is not configured properly, reset your Range Expander and then re-configure it...Make sure you upgraded the Range Expander and your Wireless Router to theis latest Firmwares...
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your Range Expander, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your Range Expander...
Follow this link to configure your Range Expander...After configuring your Range Expander power cycle both your Router and the RE...You should now get 2 blue lights on it...Make sure it is placed somewhere in between your Laptop and Wireless Router...
Search for your Wireless Network/SSID and connect to it...If your Wireless Network is secured it should prompt for a Network Key. enter the correct key and confirm the key and press Connect, it should Connect...

WRE54G not working with D-Link DIR-655

After having 2 Linksys WRT310N units fail within 14 months, I was given a D-Link DIR-655 to use for my home network. When I originally purchased the WRE-54G for use with the 310N, the signal strength as indicated on a Tivo and PS3 went from 20%-40% range to 70%-85%. These two components are approximately 30 ft horizontally, and 20 ft down vertically from the router.
Upon replacing the router with the DIR-655, both of these units are again registering signal of 20%-40%, as if the WRE-54G is not functioning, and/or the TiVo and PS3 are getting their wireless signal directly from the DIR-655.
I can access the WRE-54G's web interface, can ping it, can see it as active in the DIR-655's interface, and have two solid blue lights. Everything has been powered down and reset multiple times. I have the same issue whether or not the WRE-54G sits inside or outside my DHCP range.
How can I determine if these components are getting signal from the router through the WRE-54G or if they are getting the signal directly from the router and bypassing the WRE-54G, and is there a way to "force" these components to take signal from the WRE-54G?

Hello. Is the D-link an N router? The WRE doesn't really work well with N routers. The ppl that have say that security must be disabled. I think I have read posts that got this working, though. I'm wondering if the WRE is physically on the edge of your signal strength, e.g. if you got the WRE closer to the router it would work better. The only thing that is unusual is that you said you have two solid blue lights. The activity light should be blinking blue. So I guess I don't think the WRE is really doing anything right now, though you have all the indications except for increased signal strength.
As far as forcing the equipment to connect, you'd just have to set up static IP's and say that the WRE IP addy was the gateway, not your router. But I don't think that is the problem as WIFI will connect to the stronger signal if it is present. I just don't think the WRE is repeating the router signal.
Edit: Did a search. See if this post helps:

WRE54G - DHCP Soundbridge not working

I am sure everyone has has had issues getting a WRE54G up and runing at home - not the easiest of products (when using the encryption option).
I have an Organce LiveBox ADSL/Wireless router (Sagem badged Orange) and needed the range extended to get my Soundbridge (Pinnacle badged Roku) working elsewhere in the house.
A couple of problems:
- DHCP does not work via the WRE54G. Solved this by setting a static IP address on the Soundbridge (you telnet to it on port 4444 and use the ipset command line utility)
- The Soundbridge can access Internet radio stations fine, but if connected via the WRE54G then it loses contact with the Firefly media server
- WindowsXP PnP "sees" the Soundbridge the "other side" of the the WRE54G but cannot access it when you double click on the icon. Not an issue as just using the static IP address in the browser gets the configuration screen
I guess that I had expected the WRE53G to act more like a repeater, but is appears to be working as a bridge and the bridging function is somewhat broken.
Anyone have any ideas / fixes for the product? This is highly infuriating.

Try a different wall plug and see if that makes any difference, try a different power cable of the same power specification or a universal power adapter(if possible)...Maybe the Power Adapter is faulty and the unit is still functional...

WRT610N disconnects and does not work with Vista or media center extenders like the DMA2200

Linksys and all other router manufacturers advertise the greatness of the wireless 5ghz band (especially with 802.11n), but I’m beginning to have my doubts. It is true that the 5Ghz band is hardly being used so you'll have virtually no one to compete with. However, the 5Ghz distance in no way compares to 2.4Ghz, and as a matter of fact, I find it to be quite terrible. At approximately 20 feet away, both my Linksys DMA2200 and HP notebook barely get 1 bar using the 5Ghz N band with my WRT610N router. In comparison, while using my 2.4Ghz WRT54g router, I get 5 full bars at that range, and at least 2 bars from anywhere else in my house.
I have all Linksys equipment in my house as I have been impressed with all of their 2.4Ghz in the past. However, I’ve recently upgraded everything to dual-band N equipment and found numerous flaws in each of the new devices, plus none of them really even play well together. My setup is: Linksys 610n router, DMA2200 media center extender, and a WUSB600N Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter for my laptop – all of which are currently using the most up-to-date firmware. Other devices include a WRE54G extender and Nintendo Wii.
Problem #1) The LELA software with the new N devices doesn't even recognize that my DMA2200 is a media center extender. Using LELA, I should be able to select my media extender and allocate more bandwidth for streaming media. However, since my extender only shows up as an “unknown network device” those options are greyed out. I tried to manually change the device to a media center, but still no go. I suppose you can manually allocate bandwidth in the router setup somewhere, but considering these are all Linksys products, it’s absolutely ridiculous that an option specifically incorporated in the LELA software for a Linksys Media Extender does not work!!!
Problem #2) If you are only using one system with the router, the router might actually work as intended. For most of us though there are going to be at least 2 or more systems connected to the router (wired, wireless, or a combination of the two) such as a PS3, Wii, laptop, PC, media extender, Xbox, etc. If that’s the case, you’re probably screwed because you WILL experience frequent dropouts… ESPECIALLY if just one those clients is a VISTA machine. Check the Linksys forums and you will find that this seems to be a problem with all of the new Linksys routers (610N, 310N, and 110).
Here is a Microsoft article that explains the issue
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233/en-us
Problem #3) Because of problem #2 I will never be able to get rid of the dropouts since my network is using one of Linksys’s media center extenders. The DMA2200 is essentially a VISTA PC to some extent and accepts DHCP requests the same as a VISTA PC. Since it is not really a PC though, there is no registry modification that can be done to alleviate the VISTA problem (not that the registry mod really works anyways). So as long as I try to use my DMA2200 wirelessly with my WRT610N router, the frequent dropouts will occur and there’s nothing I can do about it. This is REALLY TERRIBLE since the DMA2200 is specifically designed to be used with the WRT610N router in order to take advantage of the 5Ghz band and wireless N transfer rates. You absolutely need 5Ghz wireless N to efficiently stream HDTV WIRELESSLY, but if you lose your connection every 10 minutes, it is impossible to watch any type of streaming media.
Problem #4) As mentioned already, when the “N” 5Ghz range is working on the WRT510N router, the distance sucks compared to standard 2.4Ghz G, N or mixed mode networks. You can try to make it better by strictly using N products, disabling the 2.4ghz band all-to-gether, and using the wider 40mhz frequency, but it doesn’t really help. The higher 5Ghz band is a more concentrated signal and therefore simply does not reach as far as the lower 2.4ghz band. I wonder why all of these new products state that the 5Ghz range will increase your distance, when in fact it actually makes it worse?
So… basically, this router does nothing that it claims too and is basically rendered useless on any network with a VISTA machine. This has not been addressed by any Linksys firmware updates or VISTA software updates so there is no reason to even consider using this router if you you’re using VISTA or some type of VISTA Media Center Extender such as the Linksys DMA2200.
Although, I’ve always sworn by Linksys in the past, the amount of wasted time, frustration, and horrible support has really changed my view about them. I’ve reverted back to my old trustworthy WRT54g router and had to run cable through my house so that I wouldn’t have to box my DMA2200 extender up and let it collect dust in the attic. It’s really disappointing that I spent all this money to buy this equipment specifically because they’re supposed to work together, but in fact they don’t. Plus what’s the point of having top notch wireless equipment if you have to run cables in order for them to work?

I have fixed all the IP adresses to avoid the DHCP problem but I still have problems.
I have sereval scenarioes:
1. MC < 1Gb wire > WRT610N < 5.0n WIFI > MX
I can see HDTV on this one but it disconnects
2. MC < 1Gb wire > WRT610N < 2.4b/g WIFI > MX
No HDTV and disconnections
3. MC < 2.4b/g WIFI > WRT610N < 2.4b/g WIFI > MX
No HDTV but no disconnections - but very slow and streaming like youtube
4. MC < 100Mb wire > WRT610N < 2.4b/g WIFI > MX
No HDTV but nice picture - testing for disconnections right now - 30+ min.
Result:
This test was very good. Stabil streaming, no disconnects for an hour. Won't support HDTV but the rest seem to work fine.
5. MC < 100Mb wire > WRT610N < 5.0n WIFI > MX
Not tested yet - looking forward to this - might bring me HDTV.
Result:
This gives HDTV but there is a problem with stability on the streaming but very difficult to see on the picture. Testing for disconnects - now tested for 30 min. - no disconnects.
This looks really promissing.
I am pretty sure that the WRT610N have a problem in the switching part of the router specially when it has to switch from 1G to WIFI. I bought the WRT610N to get HDTV on WIFI and Cisco markets the DMA and WRT610N as a perfect match. But it definately have problems - i still do not understand their silence about this.
I will come back with the last results when I have them

Range Expander Not Working with MAC

Have been using two WRE54G Range Expanders for over two years. However, I wanted to add WEP to my system, but when I did that, the Range Expanders lights went RED. I tried to access the SETUP, but for some reason I am unable to access it. In any event, made the classic mistake of trying to fix something that really wasn't broken. Have spent three chat sessions trying to resolve all the issues and of course, after solving one, another cropped up. Here's where I'm at right now. Still cannot access the Range Expander SETUP, but more importantly one of the Range Expanders is now no longer working with the MAC's that we have at home. My wireless PC works fine, but each time I try to log in one of the MAC's, in the expander territory, it tells me that it's a secure connection, which it's not. For now, I've unplugged one of the expanders and am only using one downstairs and while I have connectivity upstairs, it's not as good as when the expander was working.
Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.

OK, my problem has now shifted to another issue. I did as 'quack' suggested and got both expanders to apparently work, both had two blue lights. I tried two of the MAC's we have, the third is out of the house at the moment. Also tried my PC laptop, that worked as well.
I then decided to activate WEP on the wireless router Linksys WRT54G. Here is where it gets confusing. Both expanders now have one blue light and one red light, but when trying to connect either of the MAC's it does prompt me for the network key, which once entered, both computers get on the Internet. It took a while and a re-start for the PC to recognize the network as secure, but once it did and I entered the network key, it too worked.
What continues to baffle me is that there is no way I'm able to access the web setup for the extenders. The other routers/etc in my network connect via http://192.168.49.xxx, however when I try this using '240' and/or '241' for the expanders, nothing happens. If I try to ping those addresses, I get no reply.
What furthers confuses me, in that reading some of the other posts it seems that the expander actually showed up in your list of 'AVAILABLE WIRLESS NETWORKS', that is not the way mine is now, nor was it ever in that list. I guess I should just leave well enough alone, since everything seems to be working, but I get the sense, it's not working properly.

WRE54G not compatible with Windows 7 HomeGroup

As the subject says, it appears that even with the latest firmware, the WRE54G doesn't seem to work with Windows 7's new HomeGroup feature.
I have 4 computers in my house running Windows 7, one of which is wireless. All the wired connections would link up fine with HomeGroup, but the wireless computer kept giving me the generic error message "This computer cannot connect to a HomeGroup". After wearching around on the net and trying a number of different things, I was still unsuccessfull. Finally, I tried unpluging the range extender and it connected to the HomeGroup right away. As soon as I plug the range extender back in, all HomeGroup functions quit working.
My router is a WRT54GL v1.1
The router seems to work fine with HomeGroup, even over wireless.
My Range extender is a WRE54G v3 running firmware version 3.04.01
Everything has worked fine with the extender untill this issue. Wireless computer has a strong signal and has not had any disconnect problems since installing the extender.

Could it be that WRE54G does not support ipv6 and Windows 7 homegroup requires ipv6?
By the way, my computers see each other using "work group" and can share files and printers. It is only the homegroup feature that does not work.

response.setHeader("Osso-Return-Url", "http://my.oracle.com" );
response.sendError(470, "Oracle SSO");
session.invalidate();
but the logoff is not working properly. It is not invalidating the session and the logout http request is not going from the application server to the sso server.

Hi
The WF should also trigger if i add the Partner function in UI.If i change any Attribute the WF triggers but i dont want to change the attribute when i add the partner function.
If i have only one event for WF that is Partner Change the WF will not trigger it for the 1st time when i save the UI. But next i come to the same saved doc and add a partner function then the Wf triggers.
So this means that Partner change is active.
the issue here is i need to trigger the WF on , the 1st time i save the UI, for which i wil be using Attribute Change and next time when i come back to saved doc the and add only the partner function and no changes are made to attributes the WF should again trigger.
Thanks

IPhone 4 Voice Memos not working/saving

Hi there,
I'm having trouble with my voice memos too. Up until yesterday they were working fine and now, even though the record button works, the stop button does not and I can only pause them. Worse again is that the button to go into the menu to view all voice memos is not working so I can't play them from my iPhone and nothing new is saving to my iTunes. Please help!

I've always had the "Include Voice Memos" option selected. I think that only pertains to syncing voice memos from iTunes to the iPhone after it has been copied to iTunes. It has to be the new OS/iTunes not communicating that new memos have been recorded. For some reason they won't sync when I want them to, and then a few syncs later they magically appear.
By the way, I'm VERY comfortable with the iTunes and iPhone systems. I've been using iTunes for 5 years, and I've been recording class lectures with the iPhone voice memo app (and another app) for a couple years. It's not an error of not seeing that the memos were added; they don't exist in my library or music folders.
JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, POST WHICH FIRMWARE YOU ARE RUNNING EXACTLY!!!
I'm on an iPhone 4, running firmware 4.0.1

Installed Premiere Pro CS4 but video display does not work?

I just got my copy of CS$. After installing Premiere I found two things that seem very wrong:
1) video display does not work, not even the little playback viewer next to improted film clips located on the project / sequence window. Audio works fine.
2) the UI is way too slow for my big beefy system.
My pc is a dual boot Vista-32 and XP system with 4GB of memory installed and nvidia geforce 280 graphics board with plenty of GPU power. The CS4 is installed on the Vista-32 partition. My windows XP partition on the same PC with Premiere CS2 works great and real fast.
Any ideas how to solve this CS4 install issue?
Ron

I would like to thank Dan, Hunt, and Haram:
The problem is now very clear to me. The problem only shows up with video footage imported into PP CS4 encoded with "MS Video 1" codec. So this seems to be a bug. The codec is very clearly called out and supported within various menues but video with this codec just will not play in any monitor or preview window. In addition the entire product looks horrible with respect to performance while PP CS4 trys its best to play the video. Audio will start playing after about 30 seconds. And once in awhile part of video shows up at the wrong magnification before blanking out again.
My suggestion to the Adobe team: fix the bug and add some sample footage to the next release so new installations can test their systems with known footage.
My PC is brand new with the following "beefy" components:
