WRE54G with WAG300N

Hello, does anybody know if the WRE54G is compatible with the WAG300N-Router. tried to setup this, but i did not get it working. Regards Mansn

Hi to all.... I managed to get the WRE54G Ver. 3 (Firm. 3.03.01) to work with the WAG300N (Firm. 1.01.03). The issue is that i have laptops accessing the network throught the WRE54G, and they GET THE SAME MAC ADDRESSES OF THE RANGE EXPANDER!!!! The issue is only solved disconecting the range expander and reconect AFTER the last laptop is conected to the WRE54G.... How can this be solved without the reconection of the range expander????? Is this a bug of the firmware or/and of the range expander?

  • Using the WRE54G with a WRT310

    I have successfully set up the range extender for use with the WRT310 but after about 30 minutes clients are no longer able to connect to the internet and will get an invalid IP address if I reboot. I can still access the WRE54G home page but not the WRT310. If I unplug the WRE54G it will usually reaquire the router. I am only 150 feet from the WRT310 and have been 20 feet away with the same results. Both units have the latest firmware.

    Start it from scratch - 
    Press and hold the reset button(Range Expander) 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, don't use WPA with AES, you can use WPA with TKIP) 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...
    In case if you don't get the Expander set-up just leave it connected to your computer and reset it for 30 seconds and follow Step 2, Step 3, Step 4 & Step 5...
    Hope this helps.

  • Invisible WRE54G with Vista + NIS 2009

    I have a WRE54G set up and working with by BT Homehub (WEP connection). It works just fine from my Widows XP laptop but is totally ignored by my new Vista 64bit desktop computer with Norton IS 2009 installed. And by ignored I mean even ping doesn't work, let alone browsing to 192.168.1.240. This desktop computer does see it loud and clear when viewing available networks but will not connect ("No response from access point"), then if I turn the WRE54G off, connect the desktop to the weak hub network and turn the WRE54G on again, the laptop sees it but it remains invisible to the Vista desktop.
    For some reason I suspect the NIS 2009 (which is not installed on the laptop) so am interested in whether anyone has had experience of this working with the WRE54G. I plan to try it with NIS 2009 deinstalled, but am just checking something with Norton first.
    Thanks....

    Partial progress.....
    The main change I made was to stop SSID broadcast from my main router so that only the repeater was broadcasting. After that I got it working consisently as a repeater from my Vista desktop (traffic visible on the WRE54G). I can also now ping from there but I can't get at the setup page (192.168.1.240) - in fact if I attempt that it times out in the browser and also disables the repeater until it is powered off and on again.
    However, I have now tried with my 3rd computer, an XP desktop (with NIS 2009) and it always fails to acquire an address when trying to connect to the network. The repeater was previously, but not consistently, working with this desktop.
    More experiments tomorrow....

  • Use WRE54G with WRT160N

    I have WRT160N, v1.02.2.  Still have weak zones, need range entender or additional access point.  Can I use the WRE54G?  Is there a better option

    Well the Range Expander doesn't work with the N-router.Its not compatible.Would suggest you to get the G-series router in order to make the Range Expander work.

  • Use WRE54G with WRT310N

    Hi, I currently use a WRT310N router with WPA2 security, but need to extend the range as I have very low signal in my room. To extend the range, I bought a WRE54G range expander, but can't seem to make it connect to my router. The auto configuration doesn't work and documentation is poor. Help!

    Well I'm not sure where the answers about an wre54g not working with a wrt3nn series routers is coming from.
    If the device you need to extend the range to is a G type device the wre54g on a network with a wrt3nn series router will indeed work in G mode.
    My setup is a wrt350n, wre54g, wrt54g and numerous G and One B type device.

  • WRE54G with WRK54G and wireless printer

    My router is a WRK54G that connects to the desktop with an ethernet cable.
    Next to it is a HP2510 printer that's wireless.
    I have two more computers that are wireless.
    The one in the basement was having trouble with signal strength, so I put a WRE54G in the basement, right under the WRK54G.
    It works like a charm for the computer downstairs.
    But... it seems to interfere with the printer: ever since I installed the repeater I am having trouble with the printer: it's slow, it sometimes takes an inordinate time before it realizes it should print something, and some pages never make it or are printer only partly.
    Is there anything known about the effect that the installation of a WRE4G can have on a wireless printer?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    - Arnold

    If your printer is connecting behind the Range expander then you would face an Issue because the wireless through-put of the range expander is exactly half the original through-put. So that may affect your printing experience a bit.

  • Trouble using WRE54G with WAG54G

    Hi,
    I've just purchased a WRE54G extender to use with my WAG54G, but I can't get
    it to work. Do I need a firmware upgrade for my WAG54G?
    Current WAG54G firmware is 1.00.19, Nov 30 2004.

    hi , can you specify the exact version of the WRE ....the config of version 1 are very much different from versions 2&3.....will require the exact version if i am to give you proper guidelines
    this could not be a WAG issue at all...we will have to check and see .

  • WRE54G with a Playstation 3

    The range expander has been working perfectly for about a month or so, I came home from a weekend trip and now the link light is red. I have unplugged it and reset it and tried to auto-configurate it multible times and I get the same result, a blue activity light and a red link light. Is there something I did that was wrong? Is this WRE burnt out? Is it a driver thing? 
    Thank you
             Matt

    What is the Model no of the router...Try to configure the WRE54G manually by open the setup page of WRE54G..Check this link.

  • WRE54G WITH WRT300N / WAP4400N

    Hi Guys,
    Please, tell me if it is possible to add the expander to my small network (2 wired desktops and 3 wireless notebooks). The WAP-4400N is connected by cable to the router WRT-300N. What should I do if I want to add the expander ? Do you think it will work ? If I set up all the devices same SSID, same channel and same encryption, how I will be able which device I will be connected to ?
    Thanks in advance to all of you

    Well, I have just tried it !!!!!!  My WRE-54G is working perfectly __ at least untill now allowing internet access __ with both my WRT-300N router --->WAP-4400N access point. In the "link status" of the WRE-54G it is showed the mac address of the WAP-4400N.  I guess this is because it is closer from the access point than the router. Could you, please, tell me something about ?

  • Connecting a wre54g with a 2wire

    I cant figure out how to get my range expander to connect to my internet connection. I cant get it to ping the router or anything. I have tried re-installing and moving the expander but that doesnt work either..please someone help ...

    Did you set up your WIFI network? If you did, you would know how to disable the security on the router. If you didn't, you will need to find out who did and get the encryption key and instructions. Chances are you did not set up security in the first place and the easiest way to check is to put your cursor on the little broadcasting computer in the lower right on a computer currently hooked up to your network. This will tell you your SSID, speed, signal strength, and connection status. Then right click and select "view available networks". Your network SSID will be in the list. If there is a little lock saying security-enabled wireless network, then you have security enabled. Otherwise, it isn't and you are good to go.
    To enable security is your own decision. Unsecured means anyone in range of your WIFI signal can connect to your network. Secured means they need to know the encryption key to get in.

  • Problems connecting WRE54G with DLINK DWL2100AP Access Point

    Please help!!

    Hi there,
    Your dlink device, is it an access point?
    Your range expander, is it version 1 or 2?
    Check the wireless settings of your access point and set in the range expande. They need to be exactly the same.
    Hope this helps.

  • WRE54G and WAP54G DHCP Problem

    Hi,
    Please can someone help me. 
    Current setup:-
    Cisco ASA 5505 with DHCP Server enabled on the inside interface.
    Linksys  WAP54G cabled directly into the above interface on the Cisco ASA.
    Linksys WRE54G with a wireless connection to the above access point using the same SSID and Channel.
    When connecting my laptop to the linksys access point, the laptop obtains an IP address allocated from the Cisco ASA and works perfectly.
    When adding the WRE range extender into the mix and connecting my laptop via the extender the laptop fails to obtain an IP address. The extender is connecting to the AP ok, it has 2 blue lights and i get a strong signal.
    I have carried out packet captures on both my laptop and the inside interface of the CISCO ASA. The capture on my laptop shows DHCP discovery packets leaving my wireless interface, however, i receive no acknowledgement. when i run the same capture on the Cisco ASA i see the discovery packet hit the interface and a subsequent dhcp offer packet leave the interface, however, the offer packet does not reach the laptop when connecting via the extender.
    Can anyone kindly offer any advise that doesnt involve throwing the extender in the bin!!?
    Thanks

    The WRE54G is connected after the WAP.
    The router's IP is 10.10.10.254 and is configured to allocate DHCP addresses within this range.
    The AP's management IP is 10.10.10.1 and the gateway is 10.10.10.254 (router address).
    The Extender's management IP is 10.10.10.2 and the gateway is 10.10.10.254 (router address).
    When connecting to the wireless network via the AP, it connects and receives an address.
    When connecting to the wireless network via the extender, it connects but does not receive a DHCP address. Signal is strong and the extender shows both blue lights.

  • Why is WAP54G RPT MODE better than WRE54G?

    Hello,
    I have a project to expand a wireless network to another building with two floors.  The proximity is close (literally only 15 feet between the walls), but only clients with great antennas/wifi cards would be able to reach the router in the main building, so I want to expand the wireless signal into the new building.  The new building is two floors high, has no dropped ceiling or other ceiling/wall access, there is no conduit available between buildings, and no feasible way to run a wire, so my only real choice is to expand the signal coverage from the main building to the new building via wifi.  I have read many posts on many different forums covering this topic.  I understand that having multiple WRE54G repeaters has created reliability issues for some people.  Too bad, because these are nice, discrete little units and would be ideal for what I need to do.  I have seen several people recommend WAP54G units in repeater mode (no hardwired connection to the main router) in place of WRE54G units.  What is the difference?  Are they technically doing the same thing, and do you lose bandwidth by half with either unit?  Is it just that the WAP54G has been more reliable?  Not that bandwidth is my most important concern, reliability is my main concern, but I do have to deal with the issue of mounting these high on interior walls.  Does the WRE54G v3 exhibit the same problematic issues that previous versions 1 and 2 did?  I have a WRE54G v3 that I installed, and upgraded the firmware.  I have to admit, setting it up with a WRT54G was problematic, but once it was set up, it hasn't lost its link since (just going on one week now).  I do not have WEP enabled yet, I'm just using MAC address filtering from the WRT54G.  My proposed configuration is:
    WAP54G in main building, just inside the outer wall.
    WRE54G in the 2nd building on the first floor.
    WRE54G in the 2nd building on the second floor.
    Both WRE54G devices would directly connect to the WAP54G, one would not connect through another.  Does anyone see any potential problems?  Also, we have an extra WRT300N that was donated that we were just going to use as a WAP by deconflicting the IP with the router and turning off DHCP.  Any problems using the WRE54G with the WRT300N?
    Thanks in advance to all that reply for your experience and insight.

    Thanks again for your response.  It is not practical to run an Ethernet cable from building one to building two, that's why I'm finding this to be a little extra complicated.  The conduit situation is a total mess and they left no pull-throughs.  Outdoor routing is not an option either.  Thanks for your comment on the umbrella coverage characteristic, I had not heard that before but that will definitely be taken into consideration with our placement of the client-specific WAP.  It's not a simple two-story building - the first floor is longer than the second floor, and the extra large space on the first floor is at one end and is where most of the WAP clients will be located.  We'll be doing a lot of testing.
    After performing more exhaustive research on these devices, I have decided to use the entry-level small business line - like a WAP54GP - because I need to have reliable wireless bridging between buildings one and two.  However, everything I've read about units in this category shows that the N+gr model WG 102 has the same capabilities and performs noticeably better, especially at extended range.  It's just a little more difficult to configure, but most people are very impressed with it.  I purchased a WAP54GP anyway for testing purposes and will be able to compare the two in actual use.

  • WRE54G Cannot route traffic

    Hi all,
    My WRE54G version 2 cannot route the WIFI traffic to my Belkin router after setup. The setup was made by connecting the WRE54G directly to Belkin router with the following configurations with the Web configuration tool in WRE54G.
    WRE54G
    Name: Linksys WRE54G
    IP address: 192.168.1.150
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Gateway: 192.168.1.1
    Mode: Mixed
    Channel: 10
    SSID: 54Home
    Wireless Security: Enable
    Belkin Router
    IP Address: 192.168.1.1
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    DHCP Address range: 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.100
    Mode: Mixed
    SSID: 54Home
    WEP setting of both Belkin router and WRE54G are the same.
    Both the link and activity LED on the WRE54G are Lighted in blue.
    When connecting WRE54G with UTP wire, I can ping the WRE54G with my notebook with wired connection with Belkin, and I can use the web interface configure the WRE54G. When removing the wire to WRE54G, the notebook cannot ping the WRE54G.
    When I test the WRE54G with wireless connection, my notebook cannot get an IP address and it needs to manually assign one. After using the manual IP, the notebook can reach the WRE54G, but not the Belkin Router, nor any connection to the internet.
    However, if I disable the wireless network of the notebook and connect it directly to the router with UTP wire, the router is working fine. I switch off the WRE54G, change the notebook to DHCP, it connect back to the Belkin router and internet contivity is also fine.
    It seems that the WRE54G did not talk to Belkin on the WIFI traffic. Are there anyone encountered the same problem, and have the solutions?
    Thanks in advance
    Davis

    Make sure that wireless settings are same as in wireless router also check the Ip settings in the range extender ... it should be in the range of the router .... If all settings working fine .... & still you are not able to ping the Range Extender when wireless .... Disable the firewall on the laptop for few seconds .... try to ping the Range Extender .... if not ... in such case ... upgrade the firmware of the range Extender ...after upgrade ... reset & reconfigure the router ...

  • WRE54G Rev 1 -- D-Link 524 Router

    Hi,
    I have a Wireless D-Link 524 Router (newest firmware) and I am trying to expand the range of my network using a LinkSys WRE54G Rev. 1 expander.
    First off will the WRE54G work with a D-Link router?  On the box it says will work with "most" wireless routers.  But then on a page in the documentation it lists only 3 Linksys routers.
    When setting up the D-Link router with DHCP.  It allows you only to use the IP Range of 192.168.0.xxx the default setting for the WRE54G is 192.168.1.240.  I changed it to 192.168.0.240.  Same channel.  There is also no security setup on either devices.  But still no luck.
    Has anyone else had any luck using the WRE54G with a non Linksys product?
    If you need anymore info let me know.
    Thanks

    As you mentioned ..... you changed the Ip settings on Range Extender from 192.168.1.240 to 192.168.0.240 ... subnet - 255.255.255.0 ...& gateway address 192.168.0.1....
    Check the light status ...
    Also check the wireless settings are same as in the router .....
    Try to ping the address of the Range extender .... see if it works ....
