WRT610N router and a WET610N wireless bridge problems

I purchased a WRT610N router and a WET610N wireless bridge and have had a major hard time to get them to work together. The router setup went fine. Internet works perfectly on several machines and devices. The bridge on the other hand has been a big issue. I keep getting "Error 105" when the wizard trys to search for the bridge on the network. This search happens 2 or 3 times during the setup, and it has failed repeatedly at each instance. Sometimes it lets me go a bit further, but it's never completed. I called support, and they didn't know much about it, then we got disconnected and the second guy didn't "have the skills to work with that device" and the first guy appearantly didn't update the notes. I exchanged the bridge, but the second has fared no better. I'm now thinking it might be the router. One thing that leads me to that is the connection button never seems to initiate any proceedures on the router. I can hold that thing down for two minuets and the lights never get going. Anyone have any experience with these?

You have to make sure that your router is running it's latest firmware...
Download Firmware 7.27 MB...
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...
After re-configuring the router you need to configure the Bridge, to configure the Bridge you have to make sure, Wireless Settings on the Bridge and the Router are exactly identical so that they can effectively communicate with each other...Your Bridge should be assigned Static IP Address of 192.168.1.250, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0...Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1(Assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...After setting up your Bridge you should unplug the Router and then the Bridge, wait for a minute and connect the router first, wait for another minute and then connect your Bridge...It should work...

Mac Address Filtering Issue with DI-624 router and HP D110 Wireless Printer

Just got the D110 Wireless Printer and cannot connect to the wireless router.
I have a D-Link DI-624 Air Plus Xtreme G 2.4GHz Wireless Router.
The error message that I'm recieving from the printer is that "Mac address filtering may be enabled on your wireless router. This can prevent your HP printer from connecting to your wireless network during setup....etc."
The D-Link is setup using WPA-PSK security. If I turn off all security than the wireless printer is able to connect. With WPA-PSK or even WEP enabled I cannot connect the printer to the wireless router. There is no connection to hardwire the printer and the router.
I've logged on to the router's admin and have confirmed several times that Mac filtering is turned off by going to Advanced > Filters > Mac Filters > and choosing Disabled Mac Filters. Where else is this setting? Why is the printer not able to connect?
Further, I check the logs on the router and it shows "Wireless PC Connected" and "Authentication Success" with a note that has the Mac Hardware Address matching the printer's mac hardware address on the Wireless Network Test Report. It would appear that the router is letting the Print in but that the printer is not able to communicate for some reason. It even shows under status > wireless that the printer is connected.
When i spoke to HP, they said to contact the router company and that they could not help. When I called D-Link they said tech support is no longer available for the model. I'm stuck, can anybody help?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Windows XP, tried both the front of the printer as well as connecting via USB and using the software.
After a few hours on the phone with both D-Link and HP, the issue has been resolved.
Apparently eventhough Mac Filtering was disabled (set to Disabled MAC Filters), the Mac address had to be entered into the router to allow it while keeping the setting to Disabled Mac Filters. To me it appeared counter intuitive to enter the Mac address while it's set to Disabled Mac Filters so I did not try that before getting on the phone with HP. Further on this, the problem did not go away right after adding the mac address but rather after restarting the router as the mac address addition did not take effect without a reboot of the device.
HP was much more helpful than D-Link on this one though it would be nice for HP to add to their instructions and Wireless Network Test Report to add the Mac address just in case. I would have tried that step if it was stated that it's okay to add the mac address and keep mac filters disabled.

WRT54Gv3 Wireless bridge Problem

I seem to be having an issue bridging my wireless router. I have high gain antennas installed and recently flashed to DD-WRT firmware. At first, no problem. Wireless and wired both worked. Then Wireless worked and i could get to settings with 192.168.1.1. but wired wasn't connecting. I would get a connection error and 192.168.1.1 did not work.Now, I can connect wired, but no global icon for internet. and wireless comes up with 3 different names on site survey. sometimes its the network name (linksys) , sometimes the name of the router(Midian), and sometimes the name that USED to be the router name (linksys 2). I cannot find "linksys 2" anywhere on the router setup(192.168.1.1), so i do not understand why it only sometimes comes up! Shouldn't i be able to connect to the (bridged) router wirelessly even if i dont have a signal from the main router? I didn't change any settings from when both wireless and wired worked, and now, where i can only connect to the router wired. Wireless disapeared!
Thanks in advance,
DTM

As you have already uploaded the DD-WRT firmware on your Router, and using the Router in a Bridge Mode. To make your Router work in a Bridge Mode, first thing which you need to check the Wireless Settings of your Primary Router. Make sure you have assign a Unique name to the Wireless Network and Set the channel to 11 to avoid any kind of Interference and let the SSID Broadcast should be Enable and the Security Level Which you have setup on your Primary Router.
Then on your WRT54G Router, you need to search for the Wireless Network of your Primary Router and then connect to it using the Security Key which you have set on the 1st Router and make sure that both the Router have a Different IP address. By Default the Linksys Router Default IP address is 192.168.1.1, Make sure both the Router has different IP address.
If your 1st Router IP address is 192.168.1.1 then you need to change the LAN IP of the Linksys Router to 192.168.1.2. These will make your both the Routers to work and the computers connected to the Linksys Router will be able to go Online (Wired / Wireless).

1310 Wireless Bridge problems

I have a 1310 wireless bridge....when I power it up, it sometimes does not boot up. The I LED will just sit there and blink and the R and E LEDs will blink in unison with it. After a while just the I LED blinks. I cannot find any literature that tells me if this is an error code or not.
Also, when the thing does boot up, it tells me that the Radio interface is down and disabled, when in fact if you go into the settings of the radio interface, it is selected to be enabled.
What might be going on here?
Thank you.

No, there is nothing on the console port when the thing is in the condition described above.
If I do get a successful boot, I can then access via a console port. I may try to reinstall firmware and see if that fixes the problem.
So you are saying the radio link will show as disabled/down until it actually tries to associate/authenticate with another bridge unit? That is normal?

Aironet 350 Wireless Bridge Problem

I have inherited a wireless link between two building that used a pair of Aironet 350 wireless bridges. I say used because one took a lightning strike and is fried. I need to see the configuration on the remaining bridge to set up the new bridge but no one knows the user name or password to access the remaining functioning 350. How do I reset this old buzzard? I have tried all the instructions I have found on this site and others. There is no reset button. I found this out by disassembling another Aironet 350 we had which has also taken a strike. I cannot set up the new 1300 without knowing the config of what it will be talking to. I have been able to connect to the 350 with a serial cable and I can see some of the information. But the only thing I get is the ip address for fe0. I have attached the file I captured to this post. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

If you know the IP of the 350, put a laptop on the same subnet and use a crossover cable to web to its GUI. VxWorks CLI sucks!
If you can get hold of a pair of 1231 APs, they can be configured to run in bridge mode and use the same antennas as the 350s. Benefits are IOS and G radios.

WRT54GX4 Wireless Router and Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter

I just got an Xbox 360 with a Wireless Networking Adapter. The adapter will recognize the network, but won't connect to it. Even if I remove the security, the Xbox 360 won't connect. Is there something else via the router I'm supposed to be doing? I called Microsoft and they said to open the port settings, but I don't know if that's really the issue and I don't know how to do that if I need to.
The ports they gave me were:
TCP 80
UDP 88
UDP 3074
TCP 3074
UDP 53
TCP 53
Thanks for any help if you can.

Wireless MAXg Router and Mac OS X Leopard Problems

Hi.
Before I upgraded to Leopard I was able to print through my Wireless MAXg Router. I had set up a connection using "Internet Printing Protocol using HTTP." The instructions from the router manufacturer are:
Select Advanced and select or enter the values shown below:
Device: Internet Printing Protocol using HTTP
Device Name: HP Deskjet 990c (example only, select your printer)
Device URI: http://192.168.2.1:1631/printers/My_Printer
In Leopard, when I try to add the printer through the IP tab, I only can select "Internet Printing Protocol - IPP." When I click on "More printers" and hold the Alt/Option key, I am also not getting the "HTTP" option. I tried adding the printer using the IPP option, but the printer does not connect. Can anyone please help?? How can I add the HTTP option so that I can connect my printer??
Thanks!

Thanks for the response. However, I am still having problems. I added the printer using the Advanced tab and entered the URL of the printer through the HTTP option. However, when I try to print something, it runs the driver, and ends up saying "connected" but nothing prints. The status still says "printing" and nothing happens.
Any ideas??
Thanks!!

Connectivity Issues WRT54G router and 2915ABG Dell wireless card

My wife and I both have Dell Inspiron 600m laptops with nearly the same setup: XP Pro, 2915ABG wireless cards, and the wireless connection is controlled through ProSet Wireless. We have Comcast and connect to a WRT54G wireless router. The router has WPA enabled, MAC address filtering, and the latest Firmware.
I have no trouble connecting to or remaining connected to the router. Her machine connects to the wireless, but randomly loses connection (sometimes it's connected for hours and other times it losses connection in the first five minutes). When I watch the ProSet wireless event viewer, it only says "link down."
To attempt to fix this problem, I have:
played with the router's settings including changing channels
updated her drivers
allowed windows to control the wireless card
reset the router
updated the router's firmware
None of these actions have fixed the problem. The only real differences between the two machines is that I did the following to mine:
My machine was the one that initially set up the wireless router
I used the Comcast install CD on my machine (then deleted all the *junk* that was installed by the CD).
I would like to avoid using the Comcast install CD on her machine because no one needs the extra junk they install. I did set up her machine according to the internet on how to set up Comcast without the CD.
I am trying to figure out if the problem is with the router or with her hardware. Thank you,
Michael

Try upgrading the firmware on the router.
For information on upgrading the firmware on the linksys routers :

Apple extremes router and direct tv wireless

Help connecting a new extreme router to my direct tv wireless receiver. Receiver sees the networwork, but will not connect to the Internet. Is there some setting In the router?

Sorry, I can only say that what I posted worked for me.
I did not ever set any static IP addresses or enter DNS, etc.
Just removed the apostrophe from my wireless network name and bam....everything connected.
DirecTV did tell me to do a "red button reset" on the DVRs, but I did not do that.
My 2 DirecTV DVRs are about a year and half old. If you have newer equipment, the rules may have changed.
Try online support for DTV if you have not already done so. The phone "techs" are a waste of time.

Downloaded latest Reader for Mac and have had wireless printer problems. Either can not printer or it is extremely slow.

I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader for my Mach and I have a wireless Canon Printer. I have not had any problems with my printer until now. It will either not print or print really slow. Can not print any pdf files at all. Do I need to uninstall it or is there a fix?

Uninstall Reader. Is your printing back to normal? What version of Reader did you install under what OS?

Am I getting Gigabit transfer between WRT610N router and NMH410 Media Hub?

Shouldn't the ethernet port LED be flashing blue (gigabit connection) between these 2 connected devices? It's flashing green which, according to the router manual, suggests a 10/100 port. I'm sure I'm missing something!

If you are refering to the Manual of WRT610N about the Light status, You need to reverse the light status. As per the Linksys manual The LED lights up Green when it is connected to 10/100 port and Blue when it is connected to a gigabit port. But in real terms which you need to revers this, Green light for Gigabit and Blue light for 10/100 port.

Wireless Communication problem between HP Photosmart C309g and Linksys E2500 router

Hello,
I used C309g connected to DLink Dl-624 router (wireless connection) and everything was working correctly. Now I changed the router to Linksys E2500 (dual band router) and I've got strange problem I cannot fix.
The printer connects to router, obtaint IP address and network report does not indicates any problem. Also HP Print & Scan Doctor does not report any problem.
But when I try to print from my laptop, the pint start and is quickly broken, and I've got the message that printer is diconnected. The printer stops. When I leave it for a coupl of minutes, the printing starts and after few lines stops again with the same message on the laptop.
When I return to DLink router, everything works correctly.
I tried with 4 different laptops, with different operating systems, and i've gor the same issue. But the laptops communicates well, the network does not break..
I enforced router to use IP reserved number for the printer, used the same IP range and number for my network and printer on Linksys and DLink, does not help. I've turn off firewall on the router - does not help. I've change the channel range for 2.4 GHz network to 20MHz only - does not help.
What would be the problem with it? Is there something related to dual-band? Any idea?

Well, I did not install the printer drivers from cd, I did it from the Hp webpage. Looking for the potential problems I reinstall the drivers and it did not helped. I also turn off the firewall router application and it also did not help.
I suspect I have the printer firmware up to date e.g my version is WHM1FN0931BR.
I've made some test with router settings: switch from automatic WPS configuration to manual and tried network mode as wireless b only (default was mixed). This makes the communication between router and printer continuous (no breaks), I could normally scan documents directly to network drive, but could not print at all: the printing option on my laptop pops up, and looks like document was sent to nowhere.. printer did not start to print at all. But other network devices starts to experience connection breaks and performance issues. When I returned to mixed mode, the communication between network devices returns to normal operation, but not with the printer - where I experiences original problems.
My network is quite complex - 4 laptops and 2 TV sets communicates (wireless or LAN 100mbit cable ) via cental router with NAS server (with DLNA) and internet (DSL cable modem). Router also works as DHCP server, where any server type devises (e.g my printer) has reserved IP addresses (based on MAC number). No matter if I try to print from wireless or via LAN cable laptop, no matter what OS is on laptop. I have even tried to connect the printer via LAN (forcing DHCP to give the LAN pronter the same IP as was previously for wireless ), and stil the same: communication is broked and the print starts and suddenly stops.., then starts angain after few minutes - and stops (the same problem as wireless). So I do not understand what the hell is going on. Rest of my network works perfect .. except this printer.. Any other idea, what coul be the issue?

WRT610N - wireless connection problem

I have quite old netbook, Toshiba NB200, running Windows XP SP3 + all postfixes, which cannot connect at all to my WRT610N via WP2 2.4 GHz wireless channel. Though:
- my iPhone connects to it automatically, in a fraction of a second;
- that notebook connects to all another wireless routers I've ever met.
In the Net I've found some solutions (like stop the LinkSys service), but none of them helped. Any ideas?

What error message do you get when you try to connect to the wireless network.
Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable. Open the setup page of the router and go to wireless tab.
Check the Wireless network name. Go to Wireless security sub tab. Make sure that you have a correct password for wireless network. Click on Wireless MAC filter sub tab and make sure that it is disabled.
Remove all the preferred wireless networks from your wireless XP computer and try to connect to the wireless network again.

E3000 Wireless Bridging to a Belkin Wireless Router

I need some help to setup a WIRELESS BRIDGE. I got a new E3000 which works great so far for my basic wireless and LAN needs. But I want to use my old Belkin wireless router (G) as a bridge to connect my BD-Live Blu-ray player and any other wired devices in that location of the living room. The Belkin router is access point / wireless bridging capable. I have the E3000 setup for DHCP, starting address at 192.168.1.100, and 50 users. I've set the 2.4GHz Channel to 9 (equal to the Belkin router).
Am I supposed to put the Belkin in Access Point mode and enable wireless bridging? Or disable access point mode and only use wireless bridging, and disable the routing functions (DHCP, etc).
Am I supposed to manually add a client (the Belkin) under the "DHCP Reservation" with the IP I give it under access point mode? Should this IP address be inside or outside the DHCP range?
This should be a good start. I'm sure there will be questions.
My first question is: Should I

Your questions would be better in a Belkin forum. Basically, the E3000 is working and all configuration necessary has to happen on the Belkin.
I don't know the Belkin you probably won't be able to use it at as access point and bridge. Thus, I would say you have to configure it as wireless bridge only. It should also not do any routing/IP network related functions, in particular it should not operate as DHCP server or NAT router. When properly bridge, everything should be connected on ethernet level.
The IP address of the belkin itself has the only purpose for configuration. A wireless bridge would not require any IP address for its basic function of wireless bridging. Of course, as most people use IP most devices have web interfaces or other configuration interfaces based on IP.
Thus, you could either assign a static IP address on the Belkin or use DHCP and assign it either with DHCP reservation or a free DHCP IP address. The latter obviously makes it more difficult to access the web interface of the Belkin, if necessary.
I would recommend to set a static IP address on the belkin itself. This is more stable, e.g. in a case where the E3000 is not responsive after a power failure when everything is booting up.
Static IP addresses and reserved IP addresses should be assigned outside the general purpose DHCP address pool.

Low throughput over wireless bridge with two WRT160N

I recently bought two Linksys WRT160Ns and created a wireless bridge according to http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Bridge. I installed DD-WRT v24-sp1 (07/27/08) min.
But, in a perfect setting where both devices are just a meter apart I can only get a throughput of 20Mbps when using security (either WEP or WPA) or 30Mbps if using no security at all. To measure this I'm transferring a large file from one computer to the other and checking the result on the "bandwidth" page of the router.
Any suggestions on how to improve the bandwidth would be much appreciated!
Thanks, Gordan

Ask in a dd-wrt forum. They know how to tweak their firmware.
