WRT54G connected to a RV082 router

Fellows,
We have installed a RV082 VPN Server in our office and now we need to connect a WRT54G just to get Wifi access to our network. We have tried several things but we have not been able to have access to the internet using PC´s via Wireless, I mean, We have been able to get IP´s assigned from the main RV082 router to the wireless PCs via the WRT54G, however, we have not been able to access the internet from those PC´s.
I guess what we need is a complet HowTo related to the connection of one WRT54G acting just as a swith/Access Point but not as a router, which also could explain how to get internet access from the wireless PC´s.
Could somebody help us with this HowTo procedure??

We have solved the issue.
Basically the main aspects to take into account are:
1. Basic Setup/Internet Connection Type: Disable
2. Applications/DHCP Server: Disable
3. Security/Firewall Protection: Disable
4. Wireless/Wireless Mode: AP
5. Setup/Advanced Routing: Disable
6. Setup/Local IP Address: Must be within the block of IPs used for the DHCP at the main Router (RV082 in our case)
All the other parameters configured normally.
All Done .. Case solved.
Thanks for your support

WRT54g connected to modem with router

Got a WRT54g connected to a cable modem which acts as a router. The WRT54g gets an IP address (192.168.1.x) from the cable modem and the WRT54g can ping and tracert to sites on the internet (from the diagnostics page). The WRT54g is acting as a DHCP server for the 192.168.9.x network and I have the cable modem connected to the WAN port. (I need to have the cable modem connected to the WAN port b/c I'm using all the ports of the WRT54g. I want to have the cable modem connected to the wan port too so the network are separate subnets).
Any idea why packets would not be going through the WRT54g? I've tried setting the router and gateway modes, neither of which work anymore. I think I used to have it set to router and it work.
Any thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks in Advance.

What network is 192.168.9.x...What other router router you have apart from wrt54g?What is the model number of the other router?What is the exact physical connection between the modem and the routers?

HELP I have a wireless Linksys router WRT54G connected th...

HELP I have a wireless Linksys router WRT54G connected through my cable company broadband modem on a Mac. I have another computer to which I installed wireless capability because it didn't come with it. This required attching some piece of equipment to the back of the PC which enabled it to get on the internet without another cable modem. My question is this. If I get an iphone or a laptop(with built in wireless ability) will I automatically be able to go on the web because of the router on the Mac.

yes certainly... if you get any wireless device in network that would certainly connects to a wireless n/w of router...

Connecting two WRT54GS to the same (wired) router (non-linksys)

Due to some security issue I have to connect two WRT54GS to the same wired router.
Do I connect the first WRT54GS to one port of the router and the second one to another port?
And is the connection on the WRT the ethernetport or the internetport?
And can I reach both the configuration screens or do I have to change the
adress of one of them to e.g. 192.168.1.2 ?
Regards,
hENK.

I will suggest you to connect the LAN port of wired router to LAN ports of both WRT54GS ........ Th connectino to WRT54GS is Ethernet Port ......
Regarding the Ip address of WRT54GS ..... change the Ip address of first wireless router from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2 ........make the DHCP service disabled ....
For the other router the Ip address would be 192.168.1.3 ...... DHCP service again disabled .........
For accessing the set up page of both router use the new Local Ip address.........on the explorer address bar ......

WRT54G connecting to Netgear fvs338 Firewall

Has anyone connected a WRT54G behind a Netgear Firewall. I can't seem to get the Lynksys to connect to the Netgear Firewall. I don't need the router but I do need the wireless. I have to use the Netgear FVS for work. Any help appreciated!!!

Okay… configure the linksys router according IP range of firewall, if firewall is running on e.g. 192.168.1.1 and change LAN IP of router to 192.168.1.2 and disable the DHCP server and save the settings, make LAN to LAN connection between firewall and router and power cycle the n/w check whether it works or not…

WRT54G as AP causing dlink router to restart

I am trying to use a WRT54Gv5 as just and access point. To do this I have it connected to my main router over the lan connection of the WRT54G (to the lan on the dlink of coarse) and have DHCP turned off on the WRT54G, so that the dlink router handles that. It all seems to be working properly, with wireless devices being correctly assigned ips by the main router and successfully accessing the internet. However I have two problems. The first one is whenever the WRT54G is running the dlink router restarts every few minutes. I have checked and this does not happen when the WRT54G is disconnected or powered down. For the time being I have it powered down so no wireless network currently. This is the main problem I would like fixed. The second problem is that I cannot access wireless devices from the LAN when the wireless is running.

If you are facing inetmitten problem with the linksys router, first thing which you can do is Upgrade the firmware of your router,and this will solve your problem. Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop.Once you downloaded the firmware of your router, Disconnect your D-Link router from Linksys router, and let your computer be connected to Linksys 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.
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...

Satellite Pro L300-1B9 cannot connect to my Wireless router

Hi!
I have activated the wireless nw on SAT L300 PRO 1B9 - but with many fight...
First I needed to find the switch to enable (I never though that it have... :-) ).
Then I needed to deinstall Atheros in Windows, and set the flags on (enable) in the Windows driver.
But in both Linux and Windows I couldn't connect to my Wireless router.
My luck was that some of my neightbours have security-disabled, open wireless network, what I could map to test.
The test was succecfully with that network, but my wireless router was unreachable.
From other machine I could reach it.
The result was:
If I set the router to broadcast the SSID, both OSs (Ubuntu + Windows) can use wireless network.
But if I disable the broadcasting (to protect my router), the network driver cannot use my router, it does not matter I pre-set the SSID...
A router is WRT54G, and it is working with other computers if I hide the SSID, but with SAT L300 Pro cannot connect (with this option).
Do anybody knows why? What I need to do to I could hide the SSID from the bad guys?
Thanks for any help!

I dont know which Windows OS do you use but if you use original Vista, I think, right WLAN driver is part of the package. So WLAN card must be installed properly.
It is not easy to say what is wrong there but if the notebook can see and detect your WLAN network on notebooks side everything must be OK. Try to restart your router and check all settings.
In my opinion there is some problem with WLAN settings.

Using the latest firmware. My WRT54GS (connected through a LAN cable) seems to randomely disconnect me from the internet for no apparent reason. For some reason, it can't find the DNS even though my cable modem shows that a connection is there. The only way I can get it working again is unplugging the router, reconnecting the, going into the router status menu and hitting DHCP release, then DHCP renew.
I'm not sure whats causing this though. Any help would be appreciated.

My GSv6 will function perfectly until my cable ISP decides to change my WAN IP address. When they do that the router will drop internet connection and I have to go throught the reboot process for the modem and router. Sometimes this works and all is well again until the next ip change, but other times there are still sporadic outages.

RV082 router stopping any communication on Dell Powerconnect 5424 switch

All,
I have a RV082 router that is currently in prod. I have a Dell Powerconnect 5424 switch that I'd like to use in place of the unmanaged switches I am currently using.
I have the switch configured with it's IP, subnet, gateway, etc. I can plug devices into it and communicate with no problems. However, when I attempt to plug in the router, nothign will communicate to or from the switch. The devices I plugged in will not talk to each outer, ping the switch, or the router. Also cannot ping to the switch from a device plugged into the router.
If I unplug the router, comm opens back up.
Can anyone help or offer suggestions? I've posted about this on Dell's forums too.

Hi Chris, when connecting the router to the switch does a link light indicate functionality on the router or switch? Is the dell switch a managed switch? Is the dell switch a layer 3 switch? Does the dell switch have any vlans?
Do you have a wireless adapter enabled on the computer you're testing with when you integrate the router?
-Tom

Rv082 Router

I have a Rv082 router that works great and I added a Cisco wireless Wap4410n to one of the ports and it works great for all my wireless connections. My problem is I cannot set up any security on the wireless connection. I see it on network majic pro but cannot access it thru my router . Do I have to install a poe switch first

Hi Marty,
The UVerse gateway does have wifi enabled, but a different SSID and password than what I use behind the RV082, so this can only be joined intentionally.
Also, I only have one subset on the RV082 LAN (the UVerse LAN has a different address range as well for its LAN).
Problem is that this seems to only happen to certain devices - I've run Microsoft's Network Monitor and checked for rogue DHCPs and nothing on the PCs anyway, but some of my network cameras and new "smart" CE devices only seem to be happy with static DHCP. I don't know if these are doing some IPv6 tunelling, or something like that that is messing them up (I do not have IPv6 enabled on my LAN). The rogue DHCP assigment was IPv4 though and matched the UVerse LAN (and this device didn't have wireless anyway), so I'm kind of at a loss.
Nick.

i have a Linksys Wrt54gs connected to a Cable modem.
it worked for about 8 months.
My kid pressed a button by accident and now it won't work.
the router just keeps resetting.
i unplugged everything.
conencted 1 computer, and everything is fine.
Received DHCP address.
Once i plug in a second computer it starts rebooting.
Both computers are set to DHCP.
NO internet connection is connected at this time for troubleshooting purposes.
Nothing is connected to the ethernet port on the Linksys router (port for internet access), only 1 and 2 are connected.
i reset the router and still nothing.
i can connect 1 computer via wireless and 1 computer via direct connection and all is good. Once 2 devices are connected via direct connections it starts resetting.
i can even connect the modem to the router (for internet access), and connect to the linksys router via wireless from my computer and get internet access.
But once i direct connect 2 connections, the router starts resetting.
i have reset and reboot it with every combination i can think of.

Its good that its working now.
If it happens again, try this :
Press the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. The Power light will start flashing. Turn the Router and the Modem OFF. Turn the modem ON first, wait for 10 seconds, turn the router ON, wait for 10 seconds, you should be ONLINE !!!
Do this when the computer os connected to the router with a cable.
than on the computer open Internet Explorer and in the Address Bar type : 192.168.1.1 and hit enter.
It'll ask for the password. The default password is admin.
Once in the setup page. Click on the Wireless tab.
In there Change the Network Mode to mixed. And change the SSID to your name.
Change the Channel to 11. And Enable the SSID Broadcast.
Save the settings here. After that Click on Wireless Security and configure it accordingly and Save the settrings.
Than click on Advanced Wireless Settings. In there Disable the SES function.
What is the firmware on the router ?

WRT54G Connection Issues XP

I have a WRT54G Wireless router, WPSM54G Printer Server, a Tivo, a Wii, and two Toshiba laptops (one XP, and one Vista). I originally had both laptops connect wirelessly with the router and my Tivo wired to the back of the router. I was using WPA encryption with this setup and had no problems whatsoever for several months. I then bought the printserver and re-setup the network from scratch. I also changed encryption from WPA to WEP and connected my Nintendo Wii (as the Wii does not support WPA). So my setup is now is as follows: Wireless: 1 XP Laptop 1 Vista Laptop 1 Nintendo Wii 1 WPSM54G Printserver Wired: Tivo My XP laptop gets frequent disconnects (that cannot be repaired) and only works sparingly and randomly. The Vista Laptop works fine. I've updated to firmware version 1.02.2 and the problem persists. I'm thankful to any insight you can provide.

Hows the reception on the xp machine that keeps dropping the connection? I'm not sure if the WRT54G supports QOS or not (i'd have to login and check mine) but it seems like there is a lot of traffic on your little home network there QOS can be set to let one device have priority over other devices using the router, and in a crowded situation such as yours, it can make a lot of difference.

Trying to connect my wireless g router

Hi,
I am trying to connect my wireless g router (WRT54G) to my cisco router from my company. My cisco router was configured by my company so that I can use the office phone. I need wireless access in my house (I work from home), and so I am trying to connect the WRT54G to the cisco router.
I followed the instructions on the setup CD, and it got to the point where it checks the configuration, and then it crashes, and wants to send an error report to microsoft (which I don't understand, but is another question for another time!)
I am completely at a loss here, and don't know what to do. I barely understand this whole internet/router/W.A.P./network thing as it is, and am frusterated.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Shelley

Don't use the CD. You are running behind a router already and you don't want to set up two chained routers. Instead set up the WRT as access points like this. Be sure to pick a valid and free LAN IP address in your current LAN for the WRT.
To secure the wireless you also have to do the following:
* Change the wireless network name (SSID) from "linksys" to something unique (Wireless tab).
* Enable wireless security. Use WPA2 Personal or WPA Personal. Use AES+TKIP for WPA2 or TKIP for WPA. Enter a strong passphrase.
* Change the default password of the router ("admin") on the Administration tab.

WRT54G connected to my Bell HSE Sympatico SpeedStream Modem.

I have my WRT54G connected to my Bell HSE Sympatico SpeedStream Modem. It all worked fine until I tried to set the WRT54G to forward some ports so that I can get to one of the PCs from outside via the NET. I am running Windows XP pro on the PC After I set the post forwarding I still could not see the router from the Net. It seems that the Bell Modem is “blocking” something> I would appreciate some insight to solve this issue.

There should not be a problem if you are using either the speedstream 4200 or 5300 as they are standard modems. The 6300 and the 6520 are modem/routers so you may have to change a setting. You can also post on the Bell Forum.
Greetings from Northern Ontario, Canada

I have a TC which is connected wirelessly to my router. I would like to connect a mac in another location via ethernet to the TC. I can't seem to get it to connect. Am I missing something?

I have a virgin Superhub which serves my wireless needs throughout the house. I have a Timecapsule which connects wirelessly to the router with no issues. I can backup my MBP over wireless easily. I have now got another machine in a different part of the house that I would like to connect to the network. It doesn't have wireless so ethernet is the only option. I have a number of options 1) run cabling - not really possible 2) buy a powerline network system or 3) use the timecapsule to connect to the network/internet.
I like option 3 because
(a) - I don't have to spend any more money and
(b) - my wife wont complain about cables also see (a)
Should using mixed wifi and ethernet clients on a timecapsule work? if so is it a feature I can use out of the box so to speak?
Thanks

No a TC cannot do what you want.. it is now in dumb stupid wireless join mode.. and it turns off the ethernet ports.. in case you want to use the TC as a wireless bridge to multiple clients which is plainly wrong.. (only airport express is allowed to do this since it has only one ethernet port).
Welcome to Apple. (The plainly wrong above is a figment of Apple imagination.. of strict network protocols.. but unhelpful for a home device. maybe also to encourage sales of expresses.)
