WRT54GNX2 Router set up as Access Point

How can I configure the WRT54GNX2 as an access point and connect it to our network. I can't seem to get the magic settings.

Uh, ok. I figured it out. I feel stupid now.. LOL! Now to set it up so that it can only route to the Internet port on the Internet router, so that people can use the internet, and not get access to our network...

Converting a BEFW11S4 V.2 router to a wireless access point. Can it be done?

I recently upgraded my home wireless router to an N device. Now, I'd like to use my old B wireless router as an access point to improve coverage on my property. I'd like to place it in a location in my house too distant from the N router to connect it with a cable. Any way to configure the old B router as a wireless access point?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Dave

yes..u can certainly configure the router as an AP ... follow the steps below :
1)connect the B-router's port 1 to once of the LAN ports of the N-router
2)access the B-router's web ui , using its ip address
3)configure the wireless settings....in case , you want to make a roaming wireless network , the wireless settings on both the router should be same
4)if the ip add of the N-router is 192.168.1.1 , then change the ip add of the B-router to 192.168.1.2 and disable its DHCP server ..

Setting the Maps Access Point

I just found something quite weird when using Maps on my N82.
If I set the default access point to a configured WLAN and I set 'Go Online at Startup' to no, or if the WLAN is not available, then when I go and select 'Tools/Go Online' it automatically changes the default access point to the mobile providers on air internet access point.
So since I have downloaded all the maps for my area I was planning to leave the internet access off mostly, but should I come to turn it on, it will completely ignore the WLAN default setting and go straight to the mobile network therefore costing me money, and not only, it will change the default to this and leave it like that for next time.
Is there anyway to prevent this behaviour?
And ideally in general, is there any way to congure a set of access points to try in order e.g. try my home WLAN first, my work WLAN second and then the mobile network third? As far as I am concerned once it has asked me if it can go online I don't want to have to select the access point each time, I would rather it attempts a WLAN if possible and then if not goes mobile all without asking me.
Any thoughts appreciated.

I'm kinda in the same situtation, anyway I think it just follows the access points priority on the phone. I was able to use wi-fi in the offline mode (of the mobile)!

WRVS4400N v1 Router with 3 WRT600N (Access Points) locks Internet access

Have the following equipment
1. WRVS4400N (DHCP Services and connected to DSL modem on different subnets, QuickVPN enabled but not working)
2. 3 WRT600N used as Access Points troughout the house connected to the ports on the above router
The problem is that after working for a while the internet access locks out.... although the wireless laptops get an IP address and can see other network equipment they can't access the internet. After a restart on the WRVS4400N everything works again.
If I connect to one of the ports on the DSL everything is always working. So what could be causing the problem? I don't want the client to have to restart the WRVS4400n router every day.
Any ideas?

Please update the WRVS4400N v1 to the latest code. The new code fixes some of the DHCP issues

SSID set on specific access points

Hi All,
I have an installation of 1 wireless controller at a head office and some access points distributed to two locations. One of these locations has requested a guest wireless access. Please advise if i can setup the guest wireless ssid to only be projected from the aps in one location?
I would not like to have both locations see the SSID.
Thanks

Yes you can. You just need to use AP Groups which allows you to specify what SSID and interface you want that ap to use. Then if you want to drop off the traffic locally you can setup the APs in FlexConnect mode.

RV325 Router: Adding a wireless access point for wireless printer

Hi all,
I am trying to add a Linksys ea6350 wireless router to the RV 325 router with the goal of having a wireless printer on the network. I can connect wirelessly to the router and access the internet; PC's that are on the wireless router can find the printer and print. However, PCs that connected to the RV via LAN cannot. I am assuming that this has to do with how the traffic from the wireless router is handled and that basically at the moment both routers are functioning as two separate networks.
Is this something that can be remedied from the Cisco router side? Or the Linksys? Or Both?
Thank you

Hi Jow, it sounds like you have this EA router connecting through the WAN port going in to your RV router, that would make the most sense because it would NAT your connection, allowing you to wirelessly connect but your LAN connection to the RV325 not working.
If you want to fix this, move your connect from the EA router on to a "LAN port", disable the DHCP server then make sure it is on the same IP subnet as the RV325 and just let it broadcast the wireless signal. The EA router LAN ports are normal switch port so it will work ok.

WRT54G-on't see router in list of access points

Hello everyone, hopefully someone on here can help me out. I recently had to reset my router, and now, when my laptop searches for wireless networks, my router isn't showing up on the list. I can access the routers setup screen, and I remember when I first got this router, the same thing happened and A friend of mine did something to one of the settings in the router so that I can connect to it wirelessly. Any help is appreciated!

Setting up a WRT150N as an Access Point.

Hello everyone! Today I bought a Linksys WRT150N router. I am trying to setup the router as a simple access point because I already have a router. My configuration is as follows: Modem > Draytek Vigor 2900V > Linksys WRT150N now my question is how to setup the linksys to work with the draytek. The Draytek has an IP address of 192.168.1.1 and subnet 255.255.255.0 Thanks in advance for the help!

I ran into a similar problem while setting up my wrt150n on my previous isp. The default ip address for the wrt150n is 192.168.1.1, see the problem? If you go into the setup for the router you can change the network address for the router to 192.168.2.1 and this should solve your problem. You can confirm with Linksys tech support that this is the problem, they were very helpful when I called them.

Router, access point, very CONFUSED. HELP

The Plan:
In my living room I have a modem/router (at&t supplied) which produces wifi for my home. In my family room I have an older version of the Xbox 360 with no wireless capabilities. Without buying a 100 ft (the rooms are not exactly close to each other)ethernet cable and running it under the house, I'd rather find some way to send a wireless signal from a router to a physical (access point/router?) which will be located next to the Xbox that it can hard wire to.
Equipment at my disposal:
WRT54G ver.6
WAP54G ver.2
Question:
Is it possible to do what I want with the equipment I have? The more I dive into websites about it the more confused I get. Access points, client bridge mode, client mode, repeater, etc. I just have no idea what to do, any ideas?

Those devices that you have will work but it is not an assurance that those two devices will give you the best performance since those are only wireless-G devices. What you can do is to set the WRT54G v6 as the main router that will broadcast a wireless signal to that other room; set the WAP54G v2 as an access point client so that it will act as the wireless adapter for your Xbox. To test if the router’s signal will reach to that room then you need to use a laptop and check if the laptop could pick the signal.

Linksys Wireless-B Router & Access Point question

Ok, I have a Linksys wireless B router (cant remember the model name off of the top of my head) and it connected to a desktop that I have. I just purchased a Buffalo Wireless-G MIMO router which has the ability to act as an access point. I was wondering if I set the Wireless-B router up to my desktop where my modem is, and then turn on the Access Point feature with my Buffalo router, would the two brands work together or no? Also, if they did work and the Buffalo router acted as an access point would I be able to connect my PS3 via one of the ethernet port on the back of the Buffalo access point? Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
I just purchased this Buffalo router after returning the Linksys Wireless-G with SpeedBooster and having numerous problems with my Verizon DSL (Westell 6100 modem).

Yes you can. Here is a LINK to use as a reference. The only thing you will run into is the routers IP's may be different so make sure they are in the same range. Example router 1:192.168.1.1 and router 2:192.168.1.2 but it may vary depending on what you want your private IP range to be.
The router you want to set as a AP make sure it has the latest firmware and has the SSID/security all set up. Make sure the IP for the router is set then disable the DHCP. Then connect router 1 via numbered port to the number 1 port of the second router.

Roaming between RV220W wireless router and WAP121 Access Point

Hello, I have recently purchased a RV220W wireless router and a WAP121 access point and i would like to allow my users to "roam" between the two networks as needed (so when the user is closer to whichever one they connect to that one since it has a better signal). For the most part I only have experience in cisco IOS and in actual routers not the wireless stuff so my knowledge has not exactly transfered over well.

William,
WDS will not work between the RV220W and WAP121 due to incompatible chipsets. The RV220W can be repeated using WDS by another RV220W or RV180W only. You will need to plug the WAP121 into the RV220W or try WorkGroup Bridge mode to repeat the signal.
Regarding roaming, the router or AP are not aware of each other and do not have the capability to disconnect a client and help them connect to the AP with the stronger signal. The client will switch to the stronger AP only when the original signal is lost.
The Aironet (enterprise) devices have the ability to utilize a wireless LAN controller which can help keep devices connected to the stronger signal and allow truly seamless roaming between APs.

6120c - default access point and setting applicati...

Does anyone know how to set the default access point on the 6120, for all apps? And how to allow apps to access the internet without asking? The default browser is ok but everything else (Opera Mini, Gmail, Google Maps etc) asks for permission, then an access point. I figured it out on my N73 but can't get it on the 6120.

Thanks for the reply. I've looked in App Manager but the only context-sensitive stuff for each app is 'details' which is just the vendor and certificate, and 'settings' which is 'Software Installation', Online Certificate Check' and 'Default Web Address'.
Doh! Just got it - choosing 'open' doesn't start the app, it gives me the options I need. Problem solved!

Setting email access point

I'm trying to set my internet access point for emails to automatic. But it only gives me an option to pick one. I want it to connect to my few preffered access points only so how do I fix this.
Appreciate your help

I found the solution...I think.
If you set it on default connection then it should just connect to the network your on, or the next priority.

Newly installed OS 10.3.1.1565 - Where have all my Access Points gone?

I have a 2 access points at home, 1 is my original modem, and the other is my Dual Channel Netgear router. This provides access points on the 2.4Ghz channel and on the 5Ghz channel - all of which you can give different access point names and security passcodes if you wish. On top of this, there's also provision for a guest account on each band, which again can be named anything you want.
Anyway, before my Z10 automatically download and installed OS10.3.1.1565 last week, my phone could see and report all 5 of my access points (via Wifi Analyser). Now, with this O.S., it refuses to report all 5 access points and will only display the AP that's connected. It does however show me all my neighbours AP names. It just hides my 4 idle APs - as presumably it knows they're all part of the same network. I've tried various WIFI analysers but they ALL behave in the same manner. This appears to be a function of the phone's O.S.
As I walk around the house, the phone does drop the weak AP and suddenly discover and report my alternate AP - though It's very cumbersome. I liked being able to see all of my APs on WIFI Analyser as it helped build confidence that I had reasonable coverage around the house. Now with this O.S. I feel like I've lost 4 access points.
I don't understand why my phone now disregards 4 of my access points and doesn't display them through any of the WIFI Analyser tools. My various other devices around the house (all running WIFI Analyser) report the signal strength of all 5 access points. I've tried toggling the 'Inter Access point Handover' setting, as well as enabling IPV6, but to no avail. I hope this isn't the design intent, and that one day I can view all 5 of my APs again.

Completely disappeared. Not listed in the Networks and Connections screen.
This just lists the currently connected Access Point. WIFI Analyser does the same - it appears that 4 of my access points don't exist.
That is until I walk out of range of the connected AP, and the phone suddenly displays the next AP and hides the previous one.
Before this update, I could see all 5 APs from anywhere in the house (albeit at various signal strengths)
