Heres how it started
1. plugged in wre54g
2. put in Disc for setup. 
3. pressed and held auto config button like it told me to do. 
4. only ONE blue lite. other was blinking red and blue.... Confused
5. looked online for help. 
6. did what it told me. Plugged ethernet cable into it. Both lights are now blue. 
7. started disc. and hit setup.
8. it started its site survey........ the STOPPED. it says "site Survey Failed. try again." 
9. Tried again...... and again...... and again. each time same thing "site survey failed. try again" 
10. Got REALLY pissed and stomped around house for 30 mins. *lol* 
Now Im here and STILL dont know what to do. I tryed the static Ip... Nothing. I tryed reset.... NOTHING. 
PLEASE HELP ME. IM GOING INSANE.
the guy at the store said I might need the WRE54N not the WRE54G.... NO idea what he ment. but I have 13 days to figure it out so I can exchange it for the N if I need to . Plz help me stay sane what do I do.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your Expander, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...
1. Connect your Expander to a computer, click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>> Network Connections - Right click on the icon for Local area connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the following IP address'- Provide IP Address - 192.168.1.5, Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0...Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window...
2. Now open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.240.
Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...It should open your Expander set-up...
3. Once you get to the set-up page you can follow this link to change the Expander Settings...
NOTE : The link also explains to check the Wireless Settings on your Router...
4. While changing the Expander settings you have to make sure that the Wireless Settings(SSID/Network Name and WEP/WPA Key) are identical on both the devices(Router and Expander)...Also make sure to change the Expander's default IP to match your network and Gateway Address should be your Router's address...ex. Expander's IP Address : 192.168.1.240(assuming your router's default IP Address is 192.168.1.1), Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1...
5. After configuring the Expander you should disconnect it from the Computer and go into Local Area Connection TCP/IP Properties and set it back to Obtain IP Address Automatically...Disconnect the Expander from the computer and power cycle both the devices(Expander and Router)...Your Expander should be configured...

  • What is the ipod 4 new model, I mean look at the walmart site, it says (new model) what does that mean?

    what is the ipod 4 new model, I mean look at the walmart site, it says (new model) what does that mean? Look at this link :  http://www.walmart.ca/canada-estore/search/searchcontainer.jsp?_DARGS=/canada-es tore/search/fragments/cataloghierarchy.jsp I dont understand, what was the old model?

    The 16gb iPod 4 is a new model!  Previously, the iPod Touch 4G came in 8gb, 32gb and 64gb versions.  Apple has stopped shipping those versions and has replaced it with the 16gb iPod 4.  While this is technically the "newest" model (by a day or so), it is not the most technically advanced.  As others have pointed out that it the iPod Touch 5g (32gb and 64gb versions).  So Walmart is not "outdated" or "incorrect", but perhaps a bit deceptive.

  • When trying to save a document , it says syntax error-what does that mean and how do I fix it?

    when trying to save a document that I typed, it says syntax error..what does that mean and how do I fix it so I can save my documents?

    Applescript is like HTML, Actionscript, or Javascript.
    SYNTAX is EVERYTHING.
    Unlike HTML, Dreamweaver will pop a syntax error when trying to save a javascript that is unworkable because of a Syntax Error. Flash will do the same with a bad Actionscript.
    AppleScript Editor is the same way as Dreamweaver or Flash.
    The reason is:
    Bad HTML - a browser simply won't load the page or it'll load it with missing or no content. Not all that bad.
    Bad Javascript - your browser can lock up and if the script is complex enough, it can lock up your entire system.
    Bad Actionscript - just like bad javascript, it can potentially lock your entire system.
    Bad Applescript - can lock up your entire system.
    With Windows, viruses are often improperly read as SYNTAX errors in Actionscript or Javascript. That's not a worry with an AppleScript, but the possibility of locking up your system is worth a warning.
    You need to double check your syntax to be sure you haven't got something missing or improperly written.

  • What is the provisioning feature in the settings under, general profile? It says something about "provisioning". What does that mean and what does it do?? (It's on my 5th generation iPod touch, black, iOS 6.1.3

    What is the provisioning feature in the settings under, general>profile? It says something about "provisioning". What does that mean and what does it do?? (It's on my 5th generation iPod touch, black, iOS 6.1.3

    A profile is used on iOS device to add specific settings and similar things to an iOS device.  Tryically, they are added when the iOS devices is controlled by a company or school.
    However, some apps install a profile. If your iPod is not controlled by a company or school then it seems an app added the profile. You can good the title if the profile and see if that gives any info.
