WRT54G V.5 and WAP54G in "Repeater Mode" works flawlessly!

If any of you've wondered if the combination of a Linksys WRTG54 V 5.0 Wireless Router and a Linksys WAP54G can function in "Repeater Mode". The answer is Yes. Repeater mode means to repeat your Lan wirelessly. All clients of the WAP54G are on the same network as the WRT54G i.e. 192.168.1.0 and are DHCP clients of the WRT54G.
SSID is the same, the encryption I use is WPS-PSK with TKIP, Channel is the Same. PassPhrase is the same.
Setup is simple just follow the User Guide with one exception. The  exception being when you configure the WAP54G in "Repeater mode" enter the "Wireless MAC address of the WRT54G router, not the "LAN" MAC address as the user guide says.
 I've extended my network to my Bro's across the street, with external antenna's ,the speed is great almost like being at home, when close to the WAP54G. One drawback is the coverage is poor except when in close proximity to the WAP54G. I'm looking into a 2.4 ghz bidirectional Wlan amplifier to hook up to the WAP54G for extending the wireless coverage.

The WAP54G also works with the 300N wireless router.

  • Apple and spinning and stops.  Safe mode works ok.

    I was trying to install DavMail to exccess exchange 2003.  after several reboots in the process it now stops at the apple and spinning wheel screen.  I can boot into safe mode.  There I moved the DavMail and Office 2011 apps to the trash can, but still hangs at the same spot.  Can anyone help? Thank you

    As in andy's report, I also do not have an
    "UpdateSettings" item in
    /System/Library/StartupItems.
    UpdateSettings seems suspect.
    Dr Smoke & Andy:
    Thank you for pinpointing the UpdateSettings startup as being aberrant in my StartupItems folder. I'm at work now, and can't try deleting it, (on my home machine,) but will do so once I get home. I think I know the reason why it's there, however. I suspect that you're correct, and that it is supposed to be deleted after a fresh install, (of which I've done so many these last few days.) However, I bet that when you boot in Safe Mode it never has the opportunity to be executed! As you know, I don't have an alternative to booting in Safe Mode, as the machine freezes before I can even login on a standard boot. I can delete the item manually, I guess. Or perhaps I can run it manually so that it gets the chance to do the cleaning up after the install which is probably it's job. (Don't know how to do that, but suspect it will involve invoking it from the terminal, once I check what is inside that folder when I return home.
    Thanks again, guys, for your efforts,

  • WAP54G as Access Point with another WAP54G as Repeater

    I've got two WAP54G's.  Both are the 3.1 hardware model and I've updated to the latest firmware on both (3.0.5)...
    The first WAP, is hardwired to my router.  That WAP works great.
    I'd like to to use the second WAP54G as a repeater for the first.  I've read through the Linksys docs and done a bunch of googling.  I confess that I'm still not getting it.
    Some info about root WAP:
    - Set the SSID
    - Channel 6
    - WPA2-Personal
    - Static IP
    Some questions about setting up the 2nd as a repeater:
    1) Do I need to run it on a different channel?  11 perhaps?
    2) Do I need to configure it with a different SSID than the root WAP?
    3) The linksys docs indicate that when I configure the 2nd WAP in "repeater" mode I need to enter the root WAPs wireless MAC address.  But the root WAP doesn't seem to have a "wireless" mac, just a "MAC" (it doesn't seem to have two different MAC addresses to pick from).
    4) Should I configure this with a static IP address compatible with my LAN?  The root router has a static IP assigned to it, do I assign another unique IP to this one?
    5) Do I need to restart after the config changes?
    6) Can I expect DHCP to propogate from my DSL modem through my root WAP, over the repeater connection, and to devices server by the repeater?
    In general, I'm a little confused about what "repeater" mode should do for me.
    Do I setup the repeater-mode (with the MAC address) and then expect the WAP to "mirror" the root?
    Or do I setup the repeater as if it were, itself, a "root" (give it a SSID, an IP, a security setup, etc.) and then just expect the repeater setting as an alternative to what would otherwise be a hardwire to my dsl modem?
    And how do I know when it's working?  Do I need to restart?
    Gary

    The WAP54G's repeater mode essentially sets up the 2nd access point as an extender of the main (root) access point. Since you will be extending the signal, you will need to configure the same wireless settings on both devices. SSIDs, channels, security settings need to be identical. Do set a STATIC IP address for your APs. If your network allows you to use the default IP (192.168.1.245) of the AP, you may set the 2nd unit to have an IP address like 192.168.1.246. The APs need to be in the same network.
    An essential step in setting up the AP to repeater mode is indicating the main AP's wireless MAC address. This will register the main device to the second AP and will get them to communicate. To get this info, you need to:
    1. Login to the main AP's setup page.
    2. Go to Status.
    3. Click on the Wireless subtab.
    4. Retrieve the MAC address indicated.
    Register this info unto the 2nd AP and Save Settings. You may need to reboot the devices to get the connection going. Once the devices are in sync, the client devices should be getting IP addresses assigned by the DHCP server (your DSL modem). To confirm that your setup is operational, you should be able to roam on the network in a location you would not have network access to without the AP on wireless repeater mode.

  • Satellite L40 - Sleed and stand-by does not work properly

    I have a Satellite L40 notebook and it worked properly until now. I turn it on and after that I put it on the sleep mode (stand-by mode); when I want to use my system, so to get it back to the normal mode (I press the turn on/off button to get out of the sleep mode), the Windows Vista 32-bit restarts - it doesn't get back to the moment that I left it before the sleep mode.
    Therefore, Windows Vista 32-bit restarts and the "Windows has been turned off incorrectly" screen appears instead of returning to the system configuration that I left it before the sleep/stand-by mode.
    What can I do to fix this problem and make the sleep mode work properly?

    Hi!
    In your case I would make a BIOS update. You can search for updates on the Toshiba website
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
    You should also look in the power mangment. There you configure what happened when you close the display, press the power button and so far.

  • Wireless repeater using wrt54g and wap54g

    i am having problems connecting my wrt54g and wap54g as wireless repeater. my setup is as follows: 1. wrt54g (192.168.1.10) is connected to a dsl provider modem/router (192.168.1.1) (dhcp server). With this setup i do not have any problems connecting my wired pc and laptop to the network. 2. on my 2nd floor the signal is faint thus i need to extend the wireless signal. 3. i have a wap54g (192.168.1.12) that i would like to repeat the signal of the wrt54g. 4. i tried the guide from the website but it was general thus there are some settings (recommended) that are missing. questions: 1. does the 2 wireless ap need to have the same SSID, channel and wep settings? 2. what should be the gateway for the wap54g? 192.168.1.1? 3. when using wifi, would i see 2 access point? or a single 1 and whoever is nearer? 4. does the wrt54g need to be a dhcp server? or the 192.168.1.1 can do that. 5. does my ideal setup be 2 AP and not 1 wireless router/ap and 1 ap? 6. can the wrt54g use wireless distribution mesh? 7. i cannot see my wrt54g from the firware downloads, mine is v7 and there are only v6 and v8? am from asia and this might be an asian version? any help would be appreciated.

    what i did was the following: 1. enable wap54g as a wireless client to look for the main ssid. 2. copy the mac address to the option for wireless repeater. 3. i can now use the wap54g as a repeater. when i shut down everything and turn it on, i cannot again hook up. again, i have to do the steps above for the wap54g to act as a repeater. any idea on what the problem is? i am sure that what i am putting on the mac address is correct. even when i shut down and turn on all router and accesspoints. the connection seems lost.

    But what then is difference in Bridge and Repeater mode?
    I wasnt able to set all up corectly..
    Read tutorials about w311r+ and doing similar couldnt get it work..

  • WET54G to connect a WRT54G and WAP54G?

    I currently live in western Uganda where we have set up a wireless network to share a satellite ISP connection (between houses separated by about 100 meters).
    The system has been previously configured as follows (the ISP requires that we use their set of Static IPaddresses).
    Our old system looked like this (and this wireless network has worked for us for about 5 years!) 
    WAP54G (call it #1) 
    WAP54G  v.2  (call it #2)  - this one is connected to the satellite gateway via Ethernet 8-port Linksys switch
     WAP54G ( #1) 
    IP Address  172.16.148.204
    Subnet 255.255.255.224
    Gateway   172.16.148.193
    Mode: AP
    Channel - 6
    SSID: CCRouter 
    WAP54G (#2)
    IP address 172.16.148.199
    Subnet mask 255.255.255.255.224
    gateway 172.16.148.193
    Mode: Client
    channel 6
    SSID: CCRouter 
    The WAP54G #1 allowed us to disconnect the standard small rear antennas and connect large external parabolic antennas (via coaxial cables) which could be roof mounted and allow distant houses to catch the broadcasted wireless signal.
    In a rainstorm, the WAP54G#1 died.
    So, all we have now is a WRT54G which does not have disconnect-able rear antennas.  We do have , however, a WET54G Ethernet bridge.
    The WET54G has a connector which will allow us to connect to a roof-mountable unidirectional rod antenna via coax cable.  The WET54G can connect to the WRT54G via Ethernet cable.
    The current settings are as follows:
    1
     IP address 172.16.148.204
     Subnet 255.255.255.224
     Gateway 172.16.148.193
    Mode: AP
    Channel - 6
    SSID - CCRouter 
    2
     IP Address: 172.16.148.199
     Subnet 255.255.255.224
    Gateway 172.16.148.193
    Mode: Client
    Channel 6
    SSID CCRouter
     (connected to the satellite gateway via the Ethernet 8port switch)
    BRIDGE
    172.16.148.212
      255.255.255.255.224
    gateway 172.16.148.193   
    channel 6  
    SSID CCRouter
    Mode infrastructure 
    BUT THIS IS NOT WORKING.  The WRT54G (#1) can connect to the Internet (through the Client) when in CLOSE Range to the Client (WAP54G #2), but the Bridge does not seem connected to the Client WAP (the Ethernet light on the Bridge is constant indicating that the Ethernet connection is OK, but the Wireless light does not blink (no connection)..
    Thoughts?
    Thank you. 

    Are you able to go online when you connect the computer to the bridge directly...?
    On which port you have connected the bridge to the router..? It should be on the Ethernet port.

  • Connecting a wrt610n and netgear wnr2000v2 in wireless repeater mode

    I am having trouble getting the wrt610n to connect to the wnr2000v2 that can be set a  wireless repeater.  I had a 160n hooked up and it was working fine, but am unable to get the 610n going on it.  I'm kinda new to setting this type of networking up , but have a general idea of how it works.  I have the 610n running and is broadcasting a signal, but the wnr 2000 will not connect to it wirelssly and repeat it.  The setup in the netgear is pretty basic , but I am new to the linksys 610n and the interface that's why I believe it has to do with the 610n.  Could someone please walk through the settings for me?  Any help would be appreciated.

    So as per the scenario that you mentioned according to that could you please tell us the name of the ISP ( Internet Service Provider ).... As it all depends up the ISP ( Internet Service Provider ) setup....  Secondly check the firmware version of the Router is updated or not if it is not then it can be downloaded from the Cisco website (homesupport.cisco.com ).... Once after updating the firmware reset the Router and configure it again...
    As far as wireless is concern WRT610N Router is dual-band Wireless-N Router... So that it means it has 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
    frequencies...
    As far as wireless settings is concern you can use same wireless network name or even you can use different network name...
    For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
    For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161..
    So these settings are sufficient to make the Netgear  WNR2000 v2 as a repeater mode...

  • WAP54G Wireless Repeater still has problems after setup

    I have a WAP54G configured as a Wireless Repeater to my WRT54GS router.  I have configured all equipment on my  wireless network (192.169.1.xxx) with static IP's.  My Router MAC has been entered in the WAP54G and the link works . . . kinda . . . .sorta. . . .with issues
    I also have an A/V receiver hard-wired to the RJ-45 at the Wireless Repeater.  I am able to access Internet Radio stations on the A/V Receiver thru the Wireless Repeater uplinked to the Router and out to Internet.  I also have a Synology NAS which is hard-wired back at my WRT54GS router.  Although the A/V Receiver can "see" all audio files and folders on my network NAS, I am unable to play any of the MP3 files.  The Receiver will immediately display "Access Error".  As a test, if I temporarily plug the NAS network directly into the A/V Receiver (threreby bypassing all of my home networking) all MP3's will play fine.  Therefore, the problem must either be in the WAP54G, the WRT54GS, or the configuration in one or both of them..
    My connections are:
    A/V Receiver ------ WAP54GS {{{{{{{{{ wireless }}}}}}}}}}} WRT54GS ----- CABLE Modem ------- Internet
    I also have a NAS directly hard-wired into one of the WRT54GS RJ-45 ports.
    My questions::
    1. When configured as a Wireless Repeater, wll the WAP54G still fully function with hard-wired devices connected directly into the RJ-45 port (as I currently have it set up)?  Most all of the literature and articles I've seen concentrate on the expansion of the Wi-Fi portion of the Wireless Repeater only and make minimal or no mention of using the integral RJ-45 port.
    2. Since the WAP54G Wireless Repeater has a separate actual IP address, do I need to do any changes to addressing on either my A/V Receiver, NAS? or Router  Specifically, does the Wireless Repeater become fully "transparent" to my home network or do I need to re-enter different IP addresses, port forwarding or port trigerring?  (This is the stuff I don't really understand.) 
    3. Should the system basically function as I have described or is there anything I'm obviously missing that would prevent the A/V Receiver from properly communicating with the NAS thru the Wireless Repeater and the Router?
    All replys or suggestions gratefully appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply,
    As far as your sketch is concerned . . .Yes, that is what I attempted to describe in my earlier postings.
    Before my first post, I attempted to verify as much as I was able.
    I noted earlier that I had tried AP Client and could not get it to work.  Literature for the WAP states that the only mode which can connect a WAP to a WRT router is the Wireless Repeater mode.  On the WAP, both AP Client, and Wireless Bridge modes state that each will only communicate with another (second) WAP (there is no mention of WRT in those modes).  That would require a second WAP and yet more $$$, just to uplink ONE RJ-45 to my router.  OK, since it can't damage anything, I tried the other modes just for "grins & giggles".  It resulted in a very-unhappy wireless network.  All network devices poped up with IP-Conflict errors and the network came to a crashing halt.  This is why I ended up with Wireless Repeater mode.
    Yes, with the WAP configured as Wireless Repeater, I AM able to easily ping the receiver from anywhere on my network.  In fact, I've tried 3-4 different ethernet devices plugged into the RJ-45 port of the WAP and I can ping them all.  Amazingly, every other ethernet device I plug into thje WAP work perfectly  . . except streaming music from my NAS to my A/V receiver.  At that point, I suspected the receiver has a network port problem except it perfectly streams internet radio thru the WAP.  The only thing the WAP will not stream successfully is music from my NAS.  I should also clarify that ALL firewall features on my NAS are disabled because it is already on the secure side of my router.  Therefore, I'm positive nothing in the NAS is blocking access from the WAP.  I've also verified my other 3 home PC's can access the NAS.  Two PC's are hard-wired to my router net and one PC is a laptop with wi-fi linked to my WRT router (all are on my 192.168.1.xxx network).  The REALLY screwy part is that I CAN display all files and folders on the NAS from the receiver  . . they just won't successfully play without giving a network error message.  Lastly, as a test, I've even temporarily disabled all wi-fi security.  Result is identical.
    To eliminate everything but the WAP, I temporarily stretched a 75' Cat-5 cable between the receiver and my WRT router.  With no other changes or setting mods, it immediately works perfectly.  Seriously, I've spent dozens & dozens of hours on this.  I"ve even borrowed another WAP from a friend (same version & newest firmware revision) and once it is configured, it does the exact same thing. I've even did a WAP hardware "Reset" and reconfigured it from scratch . . . also same thing. 
    Again, to clarify, ALL of this is on the same side of my home network.  Everything is within my 192.168.1.xxx.  I've triple-checked that I have no IP confilicts, I've tried both DHCP and using static IP's.  I've even tried disconnecting ALL other devices except for my receiver, the WAP and the WRT with the same results.   I am NOT trying to access any of this from the internet side of my router, so I shouldn't need to mess with port forwarding amd all that.  Everything says it "should" work . . . but yet it doesn't, on TWO different WAP devices.  All I can figure out is that the RJ-45 port on the WAP is not "fully transparent" when configured as a Wireless Repeater.  The literature does not state whether it is or if the device is designed as a Wi-Fi repeater only.
    Since I'm only trying to get a single RJ-45 device up-linked to my router, I'm inclined to pick up a $30 ethernet to wi-fi gaming adapter, throw my old WAP on the shelf and get a beer.  It should work, and I've spent WAY too much time on this already.

    Hi, first connect one of your Pc to the router and log into the setup page of the router with http://192.168.1.1 . The username is blank and the password is admin. Under the wireless tab make a note of the ssid, wireless channel and under the wireless security page also make a note of the wep keys if you have provided any. Then click on the status tab and under the status tab you can click on the Local Network and note the Mac Address mentioned on this screen You can then connect the wap54g to the router and log into the setup page o the access point by http://192.168.1.245 . The username is blank and the password is admin. On the wireless screen you can change the ssid, the channel and the wep encryption accordingly.
    Then on the setup screen you can click on the AP Mode and select the mode as Wireless Repeater an punch the Mac Address and then click on save settings. You can then unplug the access point from the router in order to get it working wirelessly.

  • WRT54GL will loose internet after adding WAP54g as repeater

    I have had a WRT54GL router in a production env working fine. Last week I had to add a WAP54G to repeat the signal. Now the wireless network goes down around every hour and the only way to fix it is to reset it. I have the latest firmware on both devices and the only thing I changed int he router last week was the security type from WPA2 to WEP to get the access point to talk to the router. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Try to disconnect or power off the WAP54G and check if you will still get the same problem. If the same issue is experienced, you may need to reset the router and reconfigure the settings. If the connection is stable without the WAP54G then it might be the cause of the problem. What is the hardware version of your WAP54G? I think even with the version 1, there is an option for WPA Personal or WPA Pre Shared Key which is much better than using WEP. For more information about setting up a WAP54G with a Linksys wireless router, you may refer to this link: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=e89142ca02a241a4816f8ca5efa37fed_231.xml&pid=80&re...

  • AP 1310 and WAP54g Linksys

    Hi, Im trying to set up a Wireless network. I have got a aironet 1310 in the AP mode with a 12 dB antenna in a campus, In some areas the signal its not strong.
    Now a Decide to use some linksys WAP54g in the repeater mode. I dont have any security aplied on the equipment.
    Im using the same Channel, the same SSID for both devices. but still i can gte for both devices work each other!!!
    I think i am missing some thing on the 1310.......
    TKS

    I've used the rule of thumb that higher than 10dBi is a high gain antenna, ~5-9dBi is nominal gain. Again this is my rule of thumb and the official Cisco documentation may say something different.
    The path loss for 2.4Ghz with concrete is between 10-15dB. Every 3dB is a half of the original signal and ever 10dB is a tenth of the signal.
    My previous theory may or not be correct based on how you have the antenna mounted and the relative position of your stations(users laptops). Purely as an example and not using the specs of the antenna.. If you have the antenna mounted 50' above the ground and the users laptop is at 4', your going to have some coverage issues.
    1 square Km is very aggressive with a single AP. You will likely have speed/connectivity issues or the lack of cell coverage all together as an outdoor environment has trees, poles, and also everyone else's 2.4ghz wlan. Your lucky to get 300' in most environments and thats at 1mb!
    The simple reply to this, is that this sounds like you will need to look at additional APs and may want to consider the mesh technology.

  • WRT54GS with Mac OS 10.6.8 and RCN cable modem not working

    Hello,
    I have a Linksys WRT54GS, version 6 with Mac OS X (version 10.6.8) hooked up to a Scientific Atlantic cable modem, with RCN as the ISP.
    Recently, RCN had some network issues, and so I had to power down and reset my modem. The modem is working fine now -- no problems at all when the Mac is connected direclty to the modem.
    The router's network is OK in that I can connect the Mac wirelessly to the network, but I can't connect to the internet through the router (through neither the wireless or wired connection).
    I have downloaded the latest firmware update for the router, following the Linksys site instructions, but this has not helped me solve the problem.
    Does anyone have any advice as to what I should do? I did call Linksys tech support on the advice of RCN, and they said that the router does appear to be working (power, WLAN, and Internet lights are on), but they would be charging me nearly the cost of a new router to fix the problem.
    Any advice would be appreciated!

    Since you upgraded the Router WRT54GS with the latest firmware so once reset the Router and power cycle the whole network… Then connect the Modem with Linksys Router on the Internet Port and then connect any one computer to any one of the Ethernet port on the Router [Numbered – 1, 2, 3 and 4]… Let me know the RCN connection is a DSL connection or cable connection…
    So if you have a DSL connection you can refer to this link:
    http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=4020&userrole=Linksy...
    So if you have a Cable Internet Connection you can refer to this link:
    http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&vw=1&articleid=3686
    As far as the wireless is concern:

  • Urgent Help Needed! .....key locked in repeating mode?

    Help please -I've done something stupid but I don't know what. Somehow the 'period' key on my keyboard is locked in a repeating mode and all sorts of complications have resulted...
    Briefly here's what happened:
    I was writing in InDesign CS when apparently I hit some combination of keys because all of a sudden the 'period' key went nuts typing periods.............. row after row after row. I tried to stop it but could not. I closed out of the document and by not saving changes was able to return to my original text. But whenever i tried from then on to type anything, the period key just takes off, regardless of applications running or not.
    I've found I can control the speed of the repeating by using my mouse system controls. I've slowed it down enough to where I can navigate some but I can't type anything, even a password because faster than I can type the machine inputs one or more periods and the password is rejected.
    I've restarted multiple times to no result. I've tried resetting the PRAM but the machine will not.
    With no applications running, when I can get the desktop open, a file is selected. If I try to select another file the highlighting moves to the selected file for a moment then jumps right back to the previous one. If I trash that file, the selection just moves to another?
    The problem is cross user too - I have two user files on the machine and the same thing happens regardless of which user file I'm working in.
    I've searched Mac help and can't find anything about repeating keys but that seems to be what's happening - the period key is stuck on if that makes sense.
    I've a major project to complete this weekend... PLEASE HELP!
    The problem is on my MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo. Obviously I'm writing this on my desktop backup machine.

    The problem is cross user too - I have two user files on the machine and the same thing happens regardless of which user file I'm working in.
    That points to s 'system-wide' issue.
    Try resetting your SMC.

    Also, you could try booting from your install DVD and see if it does it there. If it does not, it's more than likely a software issue and an Archive and Install should fix it.
