WRT54GS and Wireless cameras

I'm a network idiot so please bear with me. Our office has a Cicso uBR400 router provided by RoadRunner with 5 static addresses. RR has locked down the configuration of this router, can't access it or view the settings at all. From that we have a WRT54GS wireless router utilizing one of the static addresses. All other static addresses are assigned to employee desktops. We want to install Linksys wireless cameras since we've been having vandalism problems. The cameras install ok and if I highjack a static ip, can be viewed from anywhere. However, if I let the WRT assign an address through DHCP the assigned address is outside the subnet of the other machines in the office and cannot be viewed. Ideally, we'd like to be able to VPN into one of the static machines and attach to the cameras to look around if an alarm is raised. So...I have tried various ways of setting up port forwarding, DMZ, DHCP settings, just about everything I can think of or find in these forums. How do I get the dynamic addresses assigned by the DHCP on the WRT to be seen from the static IP desktops? Thanks.

You can try these settings :
Provide different ports to different cameras in your network for ex: if one is working on 1024 ,then assign another port 1025 and so on.
So that the DHCP of router will provide different Ip address to all devices & you can login to camera using static WAN public Ip.
You have to login using address http://wanpubliciport no.
From other desktop you can use the same format of address to view camera from outside the network.

  • WRT54GS and wireless xbox

    Maybe stupid question but I'll ask anyway.  Just bought XBox 360.  Have a Linksys WRT54GS Wireless Router.  Do I need to purchase a wireless adapter for the Xbox 360 or is one built in and all I need to do is set it up?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I am trying to access Xbox live with new Xbox360 via wireless WRT54GS.
    I am able to get the Xbox to recognize the wireless network. but when I run test for Xbox live the message comes back that the network doesn't have sufficient MTU setting. Says Xbox live requires minimum MTU of 1364.  When I log in to the router IP address from my PC to check the settings, it says MTU is set at manual and has a value of 1492.  So I don't understand why Xbox sees insufficient MTU.
    My daughter has an IPOD and also can't access our wireless home network, so I wonder if there is the same problem affecting that too.
    BTW the router firmware version is v2.07.1, Feb. 26, 2004, in case that's a factor. I quickly checked for firmware updates on Linksys.com and encountered the request for hardware version. Says not all firmware versions are supported by all WRT54GS's.  Don't know where to find the hardware version. 
    Then I see the latest post about enabling UPnP - is that necessary to get the Xbox to communicate with this model router?
    Thanks for any help. 

  • WRT54GS and wireless phone interference

    Up until a few days ago, I had a 2.4 GHz wireless phone system in the house but was getting constant "clicks and taps" on the phone. Since the wired phones operated fine and had no intereference, I figured it was the router. Changing the channels didn't help. Then I read and also was told that I should convert to a DECT 6.0 (1.9GHz) wireless phone system because wireless router signals wouldn't interfere with it. Fortunately the phones are not that expensive and I did that this morning...problem is, the interference is still there. I've upgraded my firmware to the latest via suggestion from a helpful gentleman in Live Chat, and changed the channel to the highest in the range but am still getting the interference.....any ideas?

    1)  This is very odd.  Do you have a DSL or ADSL system?  Or do you use cable or satellite?
    2)  Also, does the problem stop if you unplug the router?
    If you have a DSL or ADSL system, then you need "line filters" on all your telephones, fax machines, etc.   All telephone lines need a filter, except the line that goes to the modem.  Your ISP should have supplied you with these line filters.

  • WRT54G and wireless printing on a Mac

    Hello Thanks for reading this! I am looking to get rid of the PC that is currently connected to a very old, but reliable printer - HP Laserjet 4000. I would like to hook up the printer to the router I have, but have no clue about how to do it. I have done a little research, but am not very clever when it comes to printer servers (is this hardware?), IP addresses, LANs and how to make this happen. BUT I am very keen to learn about it as it's one of those subjects that has mystified me for too long! I am on an Intel Mac running Leopard (and another PPC Mac running Tiger) and would appreciate some help and advice! Thanks! Sail

    Well open the setup page of the router using 192.168.1.1 put the password as admin & leave the username blank.Now, click on the wireless tab & over there click the tab which says wireless over there you will get the ssid i.e., the network name & over here you will get wireless security as sub-tab over here you will get the wireless security key or the wep key.....these settings you need to put on the printer page & setup the printer accordingly & you will be able to print wirelessly!!!

  • How do I set up WRT54G router with 4 computers and WVC54GC Wireless Camera

    Can anyone please tell me how to set up my Home Network with full security turned on?
    I have at least 4 neighbors that show up on my wireless connections list. I have a daughter that loves music and is constantly downloading viruses but only on one wireless connection. The rest of us want to be protected from that computer. My system consists of the following:
    One Linksys WRT54G Router
    Two Linksys WMP54G Wireless PCI adapters,
    Two Linksys WVC54GC Wireless Cameras  (Possibility four if the 1st two ever work OK.)
    Two Linksys LNE100TX PCI Ethernet Cards,
    One HP Ethernet Printer
    Three computers were connected by Ethernet cable and one was wireless. I did not change the admin password and I thought everything was working fine for a couple of years until I found that the wireless computer was acting as a “drone” and slowing everything down to a snails pace.  It could even turn itself on.
    I changed one of the Ethernet computers to wireless and decided that it might be time to also change the password and increase security.  Setting up security completely shutdown the wireless drone computer. I was OK with that, at least until I can reformat that harddrive.
    I then decided while I was at it, I would add a wireless camera (WVC54GC). I set it up using the software and Ethernet cable that came with it. After 6 tries I finally got the camera to work with the cable attached, but it does not work wireless and now none of the other computers connect any more. Is there a limit on how many connections? Should I reset the router and if so, do I disconnect the DSL modem? I’m afraid of the “drone” computer because I found some very bad malware on it. One in particular caused me to replace a hard drive.
    I’ve read page after page of network stuff on the Internet and I guess I just don’t know how to ask the right questions. I’m tired of fooling with this.

    hi , when u talk about security , are u referring to the "viruses" your daughters PC may be propogating to the rest of the network , or are u referring to external attacks on the router or your wireless PC"s ???
    In case u are referring to the "virus" attacks , the best you can do is install a good antivirus software on all PC"s and keep the virus definations updated....
    In case u are referring to the wireless security , i'd suggest that your use WPA2 personal. you can select WPA2 by going to the "wireless security" option.
    let me know if u need anything more.

  • How to set up WRT54GS so the wired and wireless connections both work?

    I have a DSL line in to a Motorola modem.
    The modem is connected to the WRT54GS with an ethernet cable.
    When I connect my computers directly into the WRT54GS with an ethernet cable (there are four connection spots at the back of the box), I cannot go to the internet.  I have 3 computers plugged in, but none of them connect via Ethernet..
    Is there a setting on the router so that I can use the router for both wired and wireless connectivity?
    Added info: I tried to connect directly from the computer to the modem, but again, got no connectivity.  When I "chatted" with ATT, they told me the modem is set to "bridge", and that I could connect only one device.  I don't want to change this setting because I want to use the router for the wireless capability.  Besides which, I have more than one computer to connect to the internet.
    How come I cannot just plug in and go?  
    My firmware version is v2.07.1. 
    I don't know how to find out what hardware version I have.
    Other info is "DirectEthernet Connection, Speed: 100.0 Mbps, Signal Strength: Excellent, Status: Connected"
    Also "1394 Connection 3, Speed: 400.0 Mbps, Status: Connected"  
    I don't know what that's for, but thought it might prove useful to those of you who are knowledgeable about such things.
    Wireless is ok, but if I'm sitting right next to the router, I'd like to connect with Ethernet and take advantage of the better speed, etc.
    Thanks in advance.

  • 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.

  • I just bought a router WRT54G and a Compact wireless-G

    i just bought a router WRT54G and a  Compact wireless-G and by the time to connect them it seems that both things work correctly but there are two icons that show if u are connect to the internet, so here is the problem one icon says that my connection is excellent, but the other ones says that my connectivity is limited or there is not connectivity at all.
    What should i do to fix that problem i've tried everything i think but nothing happened?

    Is the "limited connectivity" icon the icon for your ethernet card (which presumably is not plugged in, and therefore has no connectivity) ?  If so, then this icon is reporting its connection correctly.  You do not need to fix it.

  • Hi guys, I recently got a WRT54G v5 wireless router, and...

    Hi guys, I recently got a WRT54G v5 wireless router, and when I try to play the PC multiplayer game Call of Duty 4, it kicks me for having 'No Packet Flow' and "Loss of Key Packets". I didn't get these with my other router so I know that the WRT54G is the problem. It says that you only get these problems if your router drops OOB packets which COD4 uses frequently. How do I stop the router from dropping OOB packets?

    Well try reducing the MTU to 1200. And also upgrade the firmware.
    To upgrade the firmware :
    Connect the computer to the router.
    Open the setup page (Intrnet Explorer : 192.168.1.1).
    Username :
    Password : admin
    Go to Administration Tab. Go to firmware upgrade.
    Browse and select the bin or img file thats extratcted from the download.
    Start to upgrade.
    Reset the router and then reconfigure it. Should work.
    To check the latest firmware for ur router, click here.
    Should help.

  • Two issues - Having to constantly reconnect and wireless not working (now) on WRT54G

    I believe my router is a model WRT54G (it's a G or GL).  First problem - I have a laptop and a PC with wireless cards.  Both have connected at one time or another to my router, but neither work now.  They both show "acquiring connection & IP", then "Connected", but the connection cannot be used to go to the Internet.  I CAN get into my primary wired PC from these two, though.
    We've rebooted the PCs, turned the router and the cards on and off (router off for several minutes), disabled and reenabled the connections - no luck.
    Second issue - on my primary wired connection, and before we had the issues, on the other two devices, I'll try to go to a web page, and be prompted to "Connect".  This will happen several times in a session, not just when I first open my browser.
    I can't believe this problem is unique to me.
    Advice would be appreciated - thanks. 

    hi... try power cycling the n/w, power down the modem and router, wait for couple of minutes,power up the modem first once modem is rebooted power up the router...check whether it makes any difference or not, if it still doesn't work you may need to reset the router back to factory default settings by pressing reset button on the back panel of router about 30 seconds, power cycle the n/w and check whether it works or not... also let me know which internet connection you are using so that i can tell you step by step configuration of router and wireless settings...

  • Airport base Station and Wireless Web cams

    I just tried to take a free CNET online course that purported to show me, step by step, how to set up a wireless Web cam with an Internet connection. Yea, right. I found that it was totally geared to PC users and almost no information was provided for us. Even the suggested hardware manufacturers (Linksys) said they didn't support Macs.
    I have Airport card and base station and need to set up 2-3 outdoor security cams around a home in a remote location. Can anyone advise me along these lines?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Have you considered using Security Spy? http://www.securityspy.com/
    They claim to support many wireless cameras....but it doesn't appear Linksys is one of them. Linksys historically doest not provide any Mac support, and I have personally learned to no longer support companies that don't provide some type of Mac support. (I've been a fan of Linksys historically, untill recently)
    I hope Security spy works for you - let us know how it works out.

  • Indoor and Outdoor Wireless Camera

    Can anyone give me any information on electrical hookup with these cameras.   Do they use regular plugs or must I wire them up special?
    I would love to put a wireless camera on the ceiling at my front-door but there is no electrical outlet. 
    The same goes to where I'd want the outdoor camera.
    Please advise

    Not sure what you mean mounted in the wall. Both units come with a base. I have my indoor camera sitting on a shelf and the outdoor camera is mounted to a post in my yard. There are no other wires besides the 110 plug.

  • WRT54G and multiple wireless machine (including gaming)

    Hi all,
    I had bought (as you can clearly see in the subject ) a WRT54G, as I wanted one to play online with the Wii and Playstation 3 (Mario Kart and Battlefield: Bad Company, in case you're interested ).
    I also bought a Laptop (I was on a roll ), with <drum rolls> Wireless Support (duh) ... I was thinking though, comparing it to the Wireless-N series ... will I have any problems in games? Or will I have performance decreases? When someone is browsing and downloading via the laptop, and another person is playing a game ... will that affect each other?
    What I mean to say, if you want something like this router for doing this stuff, is it a good router, or just acceptable? Will an N-router be a WAY better choice?
    I still have a problem setting it up too, but that's a different issue. Sad isn't it ... starting CCIP, and having problems setting up a home wireless router .
    Ciao,
    Marco

    I know a wireless N router can do the same.
    What I mean is, is it reliable for online gaming? I have this WRT54G router, and I want to use it for gaming and a normal use of a laptop, but who knows, maybe also streaming videos (I tend to watch game and movie trailers). For me that's just "normal" use, I don't plan to download huge load of data with this connection, therefor I got a wired connection. And even if I had only a laptop, I'd connect it to a Ethernet port directly on the router.
    I was playing Battlefield: Bad Company yesterday on the PS3, and I got sort of a laggie connection. With these console gaming, it's not usual it seems to connect to a server you want to connect to, but you're just connected to one. I have no idea what the ping response to this server is, and I can't see any troubleshooting methods on it either.
    To be clear, for this use, and next year we'll be moving to a new house with concrete walls / floors, now it's wood ... what is best to do, to ditch the WRT54G and get a 160N ? Especially the gaming, I just don't want to get used to laggy gaming.

  • WRT54G and Windows Media Connection

    I just bought an XBOX 360 w/the USB wireless networking adapter installed in it.  I've installed the wireless adapter and configured it and it has successfully connected to my WRT54G wireless router.  I then went to my laptop (this laptop is already configured for my wireless network) and installed Windows Media Connection so I could stream my MP3's to the XBOX 360.  While installing the Windows Media Connection software, the software attempts to locate the XBOX 360 console.  All of these attempts failed.  I have disabled Windows Firewall on my wireless interface on my laptop just so you know.  I began to research some of the potential problems that I'm having and I came across this:
    The following table lists the specific information about Media Center Extender programs that you must know to configure some non-Microsoft firewalls:

    I'm a little confused as to how I implement these requirements on my WRT54G.  Please chime in and tell me what tab and sub-tab that I apply these changes.  I assume that I would implement these requirements in the "Applications and Gaming" section, but I'm not sure. 
    Thanks so much,
    David

    First, you must set static IP and DNS on your XBOX (IP address should be the same range on with the router, you can get the DNS from your working computer or on the status page of the router's web ui). Then all you need to do is forward the ports being used by XBOX to the router. Click Here on how to do port forwarding on the Router.

  • Trouble setting up wireless cameras with airport extreme

    I am trying to set up my alarm dot com wireless cameras and am having trouble getting them to connect to my Airport Extreme. With my prior D-Link router, there was no issue, but since upgrading to the Extreme, I can get them to locate the network, but not connect.

    Add me to the list of people with Netgear DM111P ADSL modem and AEBS(n)...I can connect fine to the internet directly from MB Pro to modem, and for the last couple months have used the Netgear with my trusty AEX, no problem.
    Now I finally get my AEBS from Canada (here in Dubai, UAE) and I have wasted hours trying to get on the internet with the AEBS. I have it configured exactly the same as the AEX is! One works fine, the other not at all. Exasperating.
    I am using the Netgear with PPPoA Bridging (the correct setting for the ISP here and what works with the AEX and direct connection). The AEBS shows it is getting the IP correctly and has a solid green light. My MB Pro shows it is getting an IP from the AEBS's DHCP server. And shows entries for the DNS servers.
    Yet..no internet. From the number of complaints with this exact same setup...it ain't me...I have used and configured over a dozen routers and modems from all major manufacturers, used DSL/ADSL/cable, PPPoe, PPPoA, etc etc...and I'm stumped.
    This is NOT a typical Mac product. I am not happy. If someone figures this out, you will have my admiration.
