Linksys wireless routers WRT do not connect wireless to other access points. WRTs are access points, not bridges nor repeaters.
dd-wrt add bridging capabilities. Remember, dd-wrt will void your warranty.

Need help with WRT300N connecting to a Wireless-G Adapter

I currently purchased the WRT300N router. I have everything working and it connects to my hardwired pc and my laptop. Only problem I am running across is that I cannot get my other computer to recognise the connectino when the router is set to mixed. Now the computer will recognise the connection if I set the router to wireless - g mode only. But that defeats the purpose becaus I need the wireless-n connection for another computer that has the wireless - n adapter. Anyone know a fix for this, or maybe is havint the same problem?

try changing the following wireless settings
radio band - wide
wide channel - 9
standard channel - 11
if this doesn't work , ensure that the router has the latest firmware ..

Linksys wireless router connected to BT wireless router

I have my linksys wireless connected to another wireless router through lan cable.Internet connection regularly drop down.can I do something about it or what setups I have to do on my wireless router so both routers works without conflict.

Let me know the Model Number of the wireless router ....

How Do I Connect An Airport Extreme With Password to another Wireless Devic

We have a setup for two different wireless devices so that there are multiple locations that can get online, but the entire setup has no passwords assigned. We would like to assign passwords to both wireless devices so that only the appropriate people are getting online. How does one do this?
The first wireless device that connects directly to the modem from the phone company is a brand new Apple Airport Extreme. The computer that set up the device so that people can get a signal was from a PC that is directly connected to the Airport Extreme via an ethernet cable. Also connected to the Airport Extreme is an ethernet cable that goes (50-100ft) to another wireless device - by Netgear - which then sends out another signal to pick up wireless internet, which is the signal/network that I work from.
If we assign a password to the Airport Extreme, I'm guessing it will complete screw up the connection to the Netgear. How would that be dealt with? And, how could we then, if we wanted, set up a password for the Netgear as well. I've read some initial information on the user guide CD and online, but I don't know the terminology of whether these are networks or just wireless devices 'bridged' together, etc.
My biggest concern, is it works right now, but the owner of the devices wants to put passwords on it and I want to make sure we can keep it working even with passwords. Does anyone know how to easily set up passwords and can I do it from my computer even though they were initially set up by a PC? Or do I have to do it from the PC and if so, how, because I am completely a Mac person and am very unfamiliar with Windows. Thanks.

Question that I need to know now is how do we set up a password on the Apple Airport Extreme now, when it is already set up and working without one?
Open AirPort Utility.
Select your base station, and then choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu. Enter the base station password if necessary.
Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
Choose a password scheme from the Wireless Security pop-up menu.
Enter the password all users will need in order to join this wireless network.
AirPort Utility 5.1 Help: Password-protecting your wireless network
Also, are there different types of passwords and if so, what is the most reliable one so that we don't lose connections, time out or have any other quirks?
There are different types of wireless encryption. WPA2 and WPA are the most secure especially when used with a non-dictionary password. 128 bit WEP is passable in most situations but not very strong. 40/64 bit WEP is extremely weak.
There is really no general "reliability" issue with any of them. Some devices aren't compatible with some of them.
If when we assign a password to the Apple Airport Extreme and for some reason the Netgear stops working, how do we unassign/take away the password on the Airport to get it back to the current setup that we know does work?
Follow the procedure above but disable wireless encryption instead of enabling it.

E1200 wireless works great, but needing another wireless router to hardwire connect to AVR

I have an e1200 Linksys router hooked up and working well, a wired connection to my first computer a wireless connection to my second (laptop) in the basemen and to my HDTV. My question is what Linksys device would I need to enable me to get a wireless connection in the basement to then hardwire connections to my Blue-Ray player and my HK AVR-3650. Any advise would be a great help as in I have no clue on what I need, but again I would like to somehow take a wireless signal from one wireless router to another to then have wired connections from both wireless routers. Also, was the e1200 not the right router or can I still make something out of it? Thanks in advance - Ohio

Aside from powerline adapters, you may consider as well WES610N. It is a wireless switch that you can connect to your home/main router to extend your existing network wired and wirelessly. It has 4 ethernet ports on the back for you to connect your wired devices to your network. For more information about this device, refer to these links: Expanding your home network using a WES610N Dual-Band N Entertainment Bridge, Linksys WES610N Frequently Asked Questions.

Extending a wireless internet connection to another part of a building

We have a wrt54g wireless router connected to a quest dsl modem. we now want a wireless internet connection in another part of the building which is out of range of the wrt54g. the two areas are about 200 ft apart and i can run a cat5 cable to new area. Can i install a second wrt54g in the new area and how exactly do i configure it for security and connectivity.
Thanks
Gary

Yes, you can do what you described. You can run cat5 cable if you want, but it will need to be very high quality (i.e. professional grade) cat5 cable installation to make a 200 foot connection. If you are doing this yourself, I would suggest you start with good quality cat5e cable for such a long run. And make sure the cat5e connection works before you string the cable.
You will also need to convert the second router to a WAP (wireless access point), by making a few simple setting changes.
For instructions on setting up your system, see my post at:

My wireless Apple keyboard won't connect, it just keeps blinking to pair, but nothing connects. I even tried hooking up another wireless I have and it does the same thing. Should I delete it and set it up again?

Hey Apple Health,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! There's an article that helps to resolve issues with wireless keyboards. I'd take a look at it, go through the troubleshooting steps, and see if that resolves the issue for you:

Can I add a second wired / wireless router in my home by connecting to another FiOS coax outlet?

Can I add a second router in my home by connecting to another FiOS coax outlet?
My existing, Verizon supplied, router is connected to a cable coax outlet on one side of the house and works fine. With all the new A/V equipment coming out these days, I'd like to be able to network them. So what I'd lke to do is put a splitter before my FiOS HD DVR receiver and connect another router right there for my TV, BLU Ray, Receiver, XBOX, etc.
Any tips, comments, or suggestions appreciated.
Solved!

Don't want to do that ... while the refrigerator talking to the dryer has had the interesting side effect of automatically tossing my salads, my washer now insists on feeding my clothes to the ice maker which makes for either shredded or frozen clothes depending on the setting. I can only imagine what would have happened if they networked my coffee maker and toaster as well!

Can no longer connect to encripted wireless.

Hello,
I am running a wired and WPA TKIP Encripted wireless network through a WRT350N and Netopia DSL modem. I have a Western Digital Mybook Premium 500GB hard drive connected for storage.
The system had included 2 XP Home PCs one using a Linksys WMP54GS Wireless PCI adapter and the other using a Netgear “G” USB adapter configured through Windows since the Netgear software would only do WEP. There are also 2 laptops one being an older model with the Linksys “G” PCMCIA and a newer Core2Duo using Intel Proset.
February I built a New PC which I connected via CAT5 which required moving the WRT350N, modem and 500GB MyBook into the computer room. In this room we also have our Dual mode 2.4 Ghz Linksys CIT300 Skype phone and our 2.4Ghz main phone. The new PC also has a Logitech G7 mouse using 2.4Ghz wireless. Everything ran smoothly for just over a month.
Around the same time as the start of the network connection Issues I swapped the Motherboard in the New PC with an SLI version and set the machine back up still using CAT5 and no wireless.
I cannot say for certain that we didn’t have any issues before the time of the swap but it did become very noticeable around the same time and I just want to cover all the bases.
What happened is the wireless PCs slowed down a bit and then the Netgear connected PC started to have disconnect issues that were very noticeable since it was the machine that pulls our e-mail. We then noticed the Linksys G Desktop having connection speed issues and then finally all the wireless machines will no longer connect via encrypted wireless at all. If I reset the Router they connect without a problem. I can change the SSID and turn off the SSID Broadcast without a problem but the moment I turn on WPA Personal, TKIP, and set a password they all lose connection and will refuse to connect. I have sat down at each machine and deleted the wireless profiles and set them up with all the same SSID, Security, and keys but they will not connect.
I even ran Net Stumbler on my Laptop to look for other wireless networks but only find one on Channel 11. Mine shows up too but at Channel 1 using the 40Mhz channel. Network mode is set to Mixed, Radio band is auto, Wide Channel is auto, Standard channel is also Auto.
Is there anything else I may be missing? I have reset the router many times and have tried restoring from saved configurations but nothing works at all. The only thing that works now is the wired connection. L
I sure hope Linksys reads these forums because they sure do not read their tech support e-mails!
I look forward to any help.
Thanks,
Martin

First of all, re-download and re-install the latest firmware for your router. After installing the latest firmware, make sure you reset the router to factory defaults, then set up the router from scratch.
Next, make sure you have a unique SSID (don't use "linksys" ), and turn on SSID broadcast. Turning on SSID broadcast makes it easier for your computers to find and stay connected to your router. I used to recommend that SSID broadcast be turned off for security reasons, but this is no longer required because new "cracking" techniques have made this old trick useless.
As a test, turn off all your 2.4 GHz devices and unplug them from the wall. This would include your phones, wireless mouse, and any Bluetooth, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless keyboards, etc. Also, turn off any 5+ GHz phones, as some of these also use the 2.4 GHz band. See if this makes a difference.
Since your Netgear "would only do WEP", I don't understand how you ever got it to work before with WPA encryption. Please explain. Are you saying that the Windows software was doing the WPA for you?
Update you computers with the latest drivers for your wireless adapters.
As infinityx mentioned, update Windows XP to at least SP2.
It sounds like you may have the Intel Pro Wireless 2200bg card. If so, this card is known to have connection problems. The problems with this card worsened with a recent Windows update, but were fixed with the latest driver. Go to the Intel web site and download and install the latest drivers.
Also, you can try another channel on your router. Since you have a neighbor on 11, try any channel 1 thru 6. (Always try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors.).

Can't connect to internet wirelessly with WRT120N router

ok, it's nearly 4am and i've been trouble shooting this problem since 11pm... love the technology, but it completely evil...
let me start off by saying i'm not too tech savy. took a couple computer courses in high school and thought it was my passion but they got way above my head in college, so i settled for art (those classes are much easier to pass as long as you draw your homerwork, don't blow up your sculpture etc etc)
anywho, i bought a brand new computer today since i play wow and my old computer was nearing on a decade old and had nearly a dozen manufactury resets from all the viruses from downloaded music. i don't know the make of the new computer (just spent like five minutes looking over the box and it doesn't seem to say) and i literally walked into best buy and walked right up to the computer department store head and said, "which computer should i buy to play wow on for less than $600." he thought for like thirty seconds and pointed to an ASUS and i immediately bought it. took it home, watched tv for a couple hours, then went to set it up since i had a raid in like two hours, thinking, "brand new computer, nothing's gonna go wrong!..."
well it did. my router gives me grief from time to time, so i spent the first hour unplugging, resetting, refreshing (i think that's what the button by the blue lights that has the circling arrows does) and nothing. so then off to the interweb since... oh! this might be important! the one computer i'm on now that has a hardwired connection is running normally, not great, normally. and i just checked my mom's ipad, it's on the network too. my phone, a samsung galaxy s 4 had been connected since i had it, and decided to stop connecting when at least until i noticed i couldn't connect my new desktop and my gf's phone, an iphone 4 wouldn't connect either... in total, i think there's one wired desktop connection, my fail wireless desktop connection, wireless laptop that hasn't been opened in months, an at&t signal booster, an ipad, and 4 phones that connect when they feel up to it. my old iphone 4 i ran on 3g because it was more reliable than my wireless. there's never more than 3 devices running at once. i've seen a few threads mentioning too many devices on one network. could that be it? i hope not. we have comcast as a provider too, if that helps.
oh, and maybe i should describe my problem more clearly. on my phone, when i go to the wifi settings, it still list my network as one i'm linked too, it's just "not in range" and my new desktop can't see it at all. pretty sure it's not a hidden ssid because i connected my phone to it recently and had no probs. also, i'm fairly, but by no means 100%, certain that it's not the wireless card in the computer because i can see a few other networks and my phone had already been on it without giving me problems until earlier today.
if you know how to help, please be thorough in explaining it, and if i need to give more info, i'll try my damnest. please please please!!! help me, i spent all my money on this **bleep** computer and don't have anymore to buy another new router.

Hi there. To start, that blue button that you have been pressing on the router is the Wifi Protected Setup button. You press that button when you want to connect a new wireless device that supports Wifi-Protected Setup to connect to the wireless internet via your wireless router without having to enter anything on the new wireless device. So it means, you did not reset the router. I would like to verify with you though because it is not clear to me (sorry), how do you want your new desktop computer to work? Wirelessly or with Ethernet cable plugged-in? If it is for wireless, you will only need to connect the computer’s wireless connection to the router wireless network and to enter the wireless password if you have wireless security enabled on the router. Also, the router should be able to provide simultaneously internet connection to multiple devices – be it wired or wireless. Sometimes the reason why the wireless would not work is when there is wireless interference in the area that you will need to change its wireless channel to something else. To have wireless security enabled on the router is helpful as well in making sure that the router will provide a better connection speed.

Can i set up a wired connection in another room?

Hello BT community forums
I am a BT customer using the BT homehub 2.0 connected to my main phone line.
My question is: Downstairs I have the typical setup with my computer for wireless to my sons bedroom in the newly built extentions but the wireless connection is poor and disconnects often. This extentions bedroom has a phoneline in aswell with a fully working BT homephone, would I be able to set up a wired connection to the computer in the extention bedroom using this phoneline so we can have a wired connection to my sons computer?
If any other information is required please ask and I will provide.
Thank you for any help and advice provided.

No you can't use the phone line to provide an Ethernet connection to your Son's computer. Also, you can't have two Routers on the same Telephone Line. Some options are:
Move the BT HH to a position nearer your Son's room
Use a pair of Powerline Ethernet adapters to provide Ethernet connection ove your Mains wiring
Run an Ethernet Cat5 cable from the Router to your Son's room
Set up a Wireless "repeater" using WDS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Distribution_System
Is there a good reason why the Wireless performance is so poor? How far is the computer from the Router and how many/ what construction are the intervening walls?
Is it possible that there is another Wireless signal interfering with yours? Have you tried changing Wireless Channel?

My MacBook pro will no longer connect to a wireless network that I've been connecting to automatically for months and I'm not given the opportunity to re-enter the password.

I am trying to connect to a wireless network that I have connect to automatically for over a year. When I try to connect I simply get the following message: "the wifi network xxxx could not be joined". I have moved closer to the router as suggested and I have attempted to run diagnostics without luck, I have rebooted, I have toggled the wifi on and off. I'm at a loss now...
My MacBook Pro system is running OSX 10.9.5, 2.9 GHz Intel Core 17 processor, 8GB 16000MHz DDR3 memory.

Can no longer connect to my wireless network started today

every time i try to connect to my network it says connection timed out. i can connect using cable... and my windows laptop is connecting to the network wirelessly. Any sugestions

Be careful…
There are two pieces to connecting to a wireless router, getting connected to the network itself and getting an IP address.
If the AirPort icon shows you as connected that means you are connected to the network (and any passwords required have been accepted); the self-assigned address means you haven't been able to get an IP address from the DHCP server on your network.
If that's the case, the next question is why, and to figure that out you need to know who normally assigns IP addresses on your network - a cable or DSL modem, some other machine, a wired router or your wireless router - and try and debug things from that end.
I've mentioned before cable modems as an example; they typically only assign one to three IP addresses and often need to be power cycled before they will assign any more. This is cable companies' way of having multiple hosts slam the modem with data; if you have to have another router in the path the router to modem link becomes the bottleneck, not the modem itself.
So the next question is who is responsible for assigning IP addresses (via DHCP) on your network?

Why won't my MacBook connect to my wireless internet at home?

I'll try to give as many details as I can:
I'm a freshman in highschool & have a MacBook from my school that I use for the year. It's just a regular MacBook, not an air or anything. In class the other day, my computer froze up completely, so I used the command-option-escape, or whatever, to force shut down my machine. When I booted it back up at school, it worked just fine & connected to the internet. But when I brought it home, it wouldn't connect to my home wireless internet. It has always hooked up in the past perfectly fine. It's not a problem with the connection, because my Dell laptop & iPod touch connect off my wireless just fine. It's just this device. It also doesn't connect at my church, just at my school it works. I'm using en ethernet cord right now, but I'm confined to about 3 feet from my router, so I have to sit in one room.
I tried restarting it, shutting it down, zapping the PRAM, etc. I even brought it into my school's Help Desk, & the lady tried several things that didn't work. We tried deleting the name from my keychain & history, but it just does the same thing. There's an exclamation point over the wi-fi bar, & it shows that I have a full connection. It just doesn't connect. I have a MacBook, but I'm not sure what iOS it is. I know it's 4-something, but I don't know exactly, sorry.
Can anyone help? THANK YOU SO MUCH if you can.

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

The hub has a network name and the router has the same name but shows a "2" after it. When I try and connect my printer to this itonly picks up the Hub and says wireless is disabled which is correct. How can I get it to recognise the router instead?
