WRT 120N & WRT610N ......use the 12n as a range extender?

Hi all,
I have just changed my WRT120N for a WRT610N is there any way i can use the 120n as a range extender? the signal I get downstairs is quite weak and i was hoping to ba able to use the 120n downstairs to boost the signal.
thanks
Andrew
Never give up!

WRT120N is a router and can't be used a range extender. Although I'm not sure if you can put DD-WRT on it to make it a repeater.
What you can do, run a cable from WRT160N to WRT120N. You have to change the SSID to something unique and channel on WRT120N to prevent interference with WRT160N.

SBO - Using the SAP supplied AIO_Material_Master template - Extend Material

Hoping someone can help here.
I am using Using the SAP supplied AIO_Material_Master template. I have read the DataMigration_8_Material_EN_US.doc and could not find anything. How can we extend our Material accross all Plants? What are your suggestions?
Cheers,

Not sure if I fully understand as I am new to SBO.
I have created a plant table also within the plant table I have created columns for the different views that would be created under each plant for that Material.
So I am thinking I need to start at the MaterialMasterHeader_E1BPE1MATHEADER_Required.
How should I do this. I was thinking maybe placing everything in a While Loop(???). But not exactly sure how. If I map to this table?? how do I flow through all of the dataflows?

Use WAP54G v3.1 as range extender for WRT54G

I followed the protocol on http://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/syltguides/fullview/1NZA81HP757TD for doing this setup. I tried to configure the WAP54G v.3.1 by using Fred's approach of connecting the laptop (with the wireless adaptor disabled) to the WAP and talking on the wired net adapter (on 192.168.1.200). However, I could only get the web interface in offline mode with no confirmation of the settings I made. When I connected the AP to the WRT with the wire, I was able to configure the AP as follows: I set the AP mode to “Wireless Repeater” with the Wireless MAC address from the WRT (from the Wireless Tab under the Status tab). I set the same security setting as the WRT (ie. WPA-Personal, Encription: TKIP with the same key phrase). The SSID is the same for both units with a 2 appended to the AP ssid. I did all this one time leaving the AP with Static IP address at 192.168.1.245. When I leave the wire connected I happily see and can connect to both the AP or the WRT. However, when I disconnect the wire to move the AP to act as a range extender, the ACT light on the front panel goes out and I can still "see" the AP, but I get "limited or no connectivity" and when I try to repair, it get's stuck at getting a new IP address. I get same thing when I removed security from the AP.

i updated w/ v3.04....all that's available on the linksys site... no change. and I was wrong above, it's not the Act light that goes out but the link. It's clear the WAP is not receiving a wireless signal from the WRT...

Using old WRT54GS as a range extender?

Good morning!
I first want to say I "think" I might be posting in the wrong forums for this question, but because I'm not really sure what the proper terminology for this is, I thought it best to ask here.
I have recently upgraded my router for my home network from an old Linksys WRT54GS G router, to a new E2500 N router. I have heard/read that it is possible to reconfiqure my old router to act as a range extender for my network but I am unclear how to do so. I think this may be the same thing as an access point, but all the FAQ's I've found seem to have this work as a solo device, not as a device on existing network. I have my e2500 setup with the modem in my study and broadcasting from there, and would like to use my old G router set up as a range extender to be located in the front living room area and picking up the network signal and rebroadcasting from there without a modem or computer attached.
I would like to know if this is possible, and if so, could someone please post a link to a FAQ that might help me set it up properly? Thank you for any and all help on this and hope everyone has a great day!

Sure it's easy. Have you searched the forum for your information? In the upper right search area type in 'two routers'.

Can i use airport extreme as wifi range extender in conjunction with a Linksys AE4500 router

can i use airport extreme base station as wifi range extender in conjunction with a Linksys AE4500 router

If you are trying to "extend" using wireless only......Apple tells us that their "extend a wireless network" feature is designed to only work with other Apple routers.
So, in order to use your AirPort Extreme as an extender, you would need to have another Apple router.....an AirPort Express, Time Capsule, or another AirPort Extreme as the main base station.
I haven't tested the specific Linksys model that you have, but have owned and worked with several other Linksys models, none of which were compatible with Apple for the purpose that you ask about....so I would have to say that it is extremely unlikely that your model would be compatible with the AirPort Extreme.

Using Belkin Dual-Band Wirleless Range Extender with Apple Ipad Air

Can I use the above Belkin Range Extender with the Apple Ipad on wi-fi? If so, which port do I hook up the extender to on the ipad? Thanks.

I wanted to chime in on this thread with my experince as it came up in a Google search while i had the same problem.
I actually got this working with an e4200v2 but only after hours of headache and dealing with tech support (both chat and phone)
First, I can tell you that support was nearly usless for me...the chat representative actually SIGNED OUT of chat after her intial troubleshooting steps failed to fix my problem. (This was not from lack of politeness or understanding on my end, I know it's just people trying to do their job.)
Phone support was much more thurough but still just walked me through steps I had already done on my own previously (I was formally a network tech.) This included running manual setup both wired to my e4200v2 and wireleslly. Attempting different channels and moving the RE1000 to various spots in my house. Their conclusion was that i needed to RMA the device.
THE ACTUAL PROBLEM:
It turns out the issue (for me at least) was not that the RE1000 was too weak but that the e4200v2 was too strong. The devices in my house that I wanted to use the RE1000 for were already getting roughly 2-3 bars (out of 5) signal and as such were not connecting to the RE1000. This means that even though the setup completed "successfuly" I wasn't getting any singal or speed improvement.
THE FIX:
So the way I ended up getting this to work was to run the setup software with the device in a location of my house were the RE1000 was only getting about 2-3 bars of service. (You can check this in the RE1000s firmware under "wireless").
I now have full signal and good speeds throughout my house.
I don't know if this is specific to the e4200v2 or just any router with a strong signal but my suggestion for fellow e4200v2 owners is to basically run setup with this guy as far away from your router (but within signal range) as possible.
Cheers,

Using the 3D features of Photoshop Extended

Hi,
I've got a company logo I'd like to slight angle, place, and fake-emboss in order to make it appear like it's 5 feet thick and lying in a construction quarry with various construction workers working on it. I was going to do this the hard way (all in 2D pixels, creating the depth/sides from scratch), but then remembered Photoshop Extended has 3D capabilities I never used.
Will these 3D features help me get from A to Z faster? Like I said, the real time saver here would be if PS would create the depth dimension of the logo for me (ie, when you turn the logo sideways, it doesn't appear paper-thin like it would if I transformed it in 2D, but instead has an actual thickness to it).
I'm almost certain this is a mere 3 or 4 step process. Could someone tell me how?
Thanks.

You can use heightfiled displacement (depth maps, as some PS engineer wrongly chose to call them) by ways of converting a flat plane, but that's pretty much where it ends. for anything else you will have to explore otehr methods and tools.

Using the Airport Express as an Extender with D-link router

I just received an Airport Express as a Christmas gift and am having trouble setting it up with the D-Link N router that I have. I have searched all of the internets and have not found anything confirming whether or not these two items are compatible with each other; some people say they are, some say otherwise- I thought I would ask the experts.
I plugged in the express and tried to set it up, but when it asks what base station it needs to connect to, it won't recognize the D-Link router (I know that the D-Link router isn't a base station).
Is there anyway to make the express I have extend my wireless network?

They are not.
There are very few Routers that are WDS compatible.
Very few can be used to extend a Network.
If you use all Airport Products then you can extend.

Can i use Airport Express as a range extender in conjunction with my standard (non-Apple) hub ?

I have poor Wifi signal upstairs in my house. Can Airport Express to extend that in conjunction with my current Hub (it's a Livebox - i currently live in France) ? Or do i need to run the Airport Express in conjunction with an Apple Hub ?

Bonjour!
You can extend the Livebox, just not wirlessly as Apple's implementation of WDS only works with other Apple devices.
So you can either use an ethernet cable or as I do with my netgear router turn off the Livebox's WiFi (If that's possible) and use Airports to set up a separate wireless infrastructure. Get 2 APs and plug one directly via etherenet into the Livebox then use WDS to extend this to a second AP wirelessly.

Can I use a Linksys WRT300N as a range extender?

Currently I have a Linksys WRT300N V1 that I am not using. I do not get wireless coverage in my kitchen and back yard. I want to use the WRT300N as an extended. Is this possible?
Currnetly I have a netgear WRT600 connected to my modem (verizon fios). I would like to use the WRT300N as a repeater/extender if possible.
Thanks
Brian

Linksys routers doesn't support repeater mode, If you want you can use WRT300N as an Access Point by connecting it hard wired to the first router.

Unable to get the Text proerty of Range class

Hi,
I am using the Text property of Range class for excel template development using VSTO.While reloading the template i am getting the error "Unable to get the Text proerty of Range class".If i skip this line of code,i am getting similar kind of errors while accessing the properties of Range class(like Range.copy() ,Range.Locked, Range.EntireRow.Hidden).In all these cases i am getting the similar kind of error "unable to get the property of Range Class".
Waiting for a quick response...
Thanks in advance..

Hi Besse,
Actully, the error is coming when i try to populate datatable with the the range values in one of the sheet.
I am using the below code.
//"wsInteropMetadata" is the sheet object.
//"RangeName" is the range name in the sheet.
rngConfig = wsInteropMetadata.get_Range("RangeName", Type.Missing);
for (int iRow = 1; iRow <= iRowCnt; iRow++)
    dRNew = dTMetadataTable.NewRow();
    for (int iCol = 1; iCol <= iColCnt; iCol++)
      rngCell = (Excel.Range)rngConfig.Cells[iRow, iCol];
      dRNew[iCol - 1] = rngCell.Text.ToString();
   dTMetadataTable.Rows.Add(dRNew);
In the first load of the template,this code is working fine.In the reload i am getting the error at "rngCell.Text".If i see in quickwatch,most of the properties of  "rngCell" object are throwing "System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException".See the below exception information.

Using older Extreme as a wifi extender with new tower extreme

Howdy. Trying to set up extended WiFi and having a terrible time. Have new extreme tower as base station as plugged in to cable modem. Trying to use Los Extreme as extender. Took both to Apple store and asked for help. Tech guy said no problem and configured it. I put in same wifi password and hoped I would have plug and play but to no avail. Have used utility to rename old extreme the same as new new extreme and with the same password. No luck. Problem is I do not know enough about "advanced" settings in utility to make this happen. Have 2 iPads and two iPhones (wife and I) plus a LENOVO DESKTOP. any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

Trying to use Los Extreme as extender.
Is this another "tower" version of the AirPort Extreme, or a previous "flat, square" version, or an older "round' or "dome" shaped AirPort Extreme?
Trying to set up extended WiF
Will the old Extreme "extend the network by connecting too the new AirPort Extreme using a wired Ethernet connection? (highly recommended for best performance).......or......are you planning to try to use the old Extreme to wirelessly extend the network?
is the "new" AirPort Extreme that you have set up and working correctly at this time?
If your old Extreme is compatible with new version of the Extreme, it is easier for most users to use an iPad or iPhone to configure the setup.....but a Mac could be used as well.
Do you know what operating system the Mac is using? If not, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen and then click About This Mac. Post back with the OS X Version that you see there.

WRT 120N- Cannot connect to the internet with more than one PC at a time.

Before I went on a three month vacation,I could connect 3 or 4 PC's either wireless or wired to my router with no problems at all.I have a desk top and a laptop computer which I use at home.After I returned,I found that I could connect to the internet with only one PC at a time.
If I was say,connected via my laptop,my desk top would continuously keep getting disconnected and vice versa.I have been reading the suggestions from experts here and have done a few checks based on them.I also cannot get to my router page which is 192.168.1.1 I keep getting a message that says "Problem Loading Page" and this happens with both,Firefox and Internet Explorer.I am running Windows 7 - 32 bit on my desk top and Vista Home Premium on my laptop.
I have opened the "Command Prompt" dialogue and pinged 192.168.1.1 and thereafter I typed in "ipconfig".These are the results:

I presume that this model is a modem **bleep** router as I do not have a separate modem with my system.I have a DSL connection and the firmware version of my router is ver.1.0.If I recall,I did upgrade to the next firmware upgrade a few months after I purchased the router but I am not sure.
I use both my PC's to run a small business venture and I am worried that resetting the router may cause some other problems and will stop me from using the internet.
The Command Prompt information above was taken from my laptop.
Any help will be really appreciated.

I do not know if the above result is what it is supposed to be but I still cannot access my router's home page.How do I verify if there is a proxy server and if there is one,how do I disable it in my browsers?This problem occured suddenly as a few months earlier all was well.It's getting rather frustrating.
I suggest resetting the router. Make sure firmware is updated. You can download it here - http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT120N. After firmware upgrade, reset and reconfigure. Just access the link below to guide you setting up the router.

Error when trying to sign into Linksys WRT 120N router management page, indicates browser authentication not capable - a HTTP401 error.

In trying to get into the Linksys WRT-120N router's management utility browser, I was unable to sign in. After resetting the router multiple times and exhausted all the variants of the username/password combination that I can find and think of, I was still unable to sign in to the utility browser. Just for the sake of trying something different, I opened IE 8 browser and was able to sign in just fine. This tells me that FF has a problem with authentication, somewhere along the request information aren't being sent correctly to allow signing in to the utility page of the router.

hi , here is a step by step for for you need to do..
a:- Do not use the setup disc....remove it and keep is somewhere safe.
b:- Disconnect the USB cable from the modem and PC and keep it somewhere safe as well
c:-turn off the modem and PC....
d:- with the power plugged in....reset the linksys router for 1 minute...once done , unplug the power.
e:- connect the modem to the "internet" port of the router and connect the PC to one of the other ports..
f:- turn on the modem only.....wait for 1 minute for the modem to initialize
g:- turn on the router and PC.
h:- on the PC...hit "start">>"run">>cmd and enter ....now the black window should stay up......type ipconfig and enter.....the IP u get should be 192.1638.1.100....if so...
i:- bring up your web browser and key in http://192.168.1.1 and hit go.....type the password as "admin" when prompted...
j:- under the setup page....look for an find MAC address clone.....enable and "clone"......save settings and check if you are going online.

WRT 120N Wireless Router

I currently have a WRT54G Wireless Router for 3 Computers that I have to reset everyday! I am considering purchasing a WRT 120N Wireless Router to replace it! Will I need to purchase all new cards for my Computers or can this new Router work with the ones already installed from the old WRT54G Router?

If you are facing that problem on your all the computers, the first thing which you can try is login to the router setup and below change the MTU size to 1300 and click on Save settings....
If you still face the same problem with the Router, then you need to upgrade the firmware of your Router. Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in search tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop..
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
