WRTP54G (wireless router with phone hookup) with Panasonic network camera BL-C30A (WEP only)

hi
I would like to use this wireless router with WEP so I can access the camera wirelessly (camera only does WEP encryption).
The camera should be the only device allowed to connect to this router wirelessly.
I can dedicate channel 11 so only this wireless router uses it
I know WEP can be cracked but I'm thinking maybe I can setup the router so it doesn't matter, i.e.,
so only the camera can be accessed through this particular router
so my questions are:
1. can I setup the router so only outgoing local LAN http requests are allowed?
2. any other suggestions on router setup that will prevent access to my network?
(using MAC address filtering (for camera mac address only) is worth doing but I guess MAC address can be spoofed so not a complete solution)
thanks,
Tom

Panasonic network cameras no longer work with new versions of Firefox.

I have been viewing my Panasonic Network camera, model BB-HCM381A using Firefox for several years.
Starting with Firefox version 15.0.1 and again with 16.0.1, 16.0.2 and 17.0.1 the browser begins to display the streaming video, but then drops the signal after maybe 20 seconds. Refreshing the page brings back the image for another 20 seconds, and then drops it again.
All previous versions of Firefox before version 15.0.1 worked great. Now I have to use Internet Explorer exclusively. It would be great if you could fix the problem.
Example of viewing the streaming video can be found at www.bandon.tv, which may require installing a plug-in from Panasonic.

I see the same happen, but it takes longer. It is possible that the server gets too many visitors and drops some of them. A right click and "This Frame > Reload This Frame" also works. I also notice that frames get blocked (it skips seconds), so you may need a faster server.

Can purchasing a second wireless router allow you to have two networks?

I already have a netgear branded router connected to my modem. Can I create a seperate network within my house with one of Apple's airport stations (any one of the three, not sure which one I'm getting yet) by using the internet connection from my current router? I.e can I connect the airport base station to my current router (either wirelessly or wired) and allow it to broadcast a seperate network and share the same internet connection?

Can purchasing a second wireless router allow you to have two networks?
Yes, it can.
If you connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on your Netgear router to the WAN "O" port on an Apple AirPort router, you can configure the AirPort router to create a separate wireless network using a different wireless network name and password.

Why is wireless router connectivity is different with Powerbook than iMac?

I had problems with my 10.2 on the G3 450 iMac (that caused me to go to 10.3 about 2 weeks ago), my trusty old Buffalo router fried its WAN port. I replaced it with a Netgear unit, then a Linksys unit, now I'm back to Buffalo. The ongoing problem is that the laptop has a heck of a time connecting to the internet - while the iMac (via ethernet) has no problems whatsoever. It doess/did this with every manufacturer of routers I tried (since first I thought it may be a Netgear incompatibility issue).
Strange part about the problems: Only initially does it spend 20+ seconds (close to Safari/Firefox timeout) "looking for" the host. Once it has found it, if you click on any links within the same host, it's lightning-fast. Just the initial callup seems to be inordinately difficult. I was hoping new firmware for the wireless modem, 10.4, the latest Airport update etc would alleviate the situation - no such luck. It USED to work fine on the old wireless router ... Also, it does this "looking for" business whether I have security enabled or not (I usually run 128bit encoding).
I don't really mind waiting for a few seconds for a site to load, but when you're talking about something like Yahoo or ESPN, all these independent advertising servers have to be contacted to load the page and - you guessed it - it's a 20+ second delay for each one...
I've rebooted the router and the laptop many times; I doubt it's the cable modem as the Ethernet on the iMac comes from the same router an doesn't have a problem at all. Any chance it's a setting of some sort in the preferneces panels?
The problem appeared initially with the Netgear router. The whole reason I went back to Buffalo is that I never had any issues in the 4 years I owned the previous one (until the WAN port went out). I also tried a Linksys router but admittedly didn't spend a lot of time with it as the delay problem appeared right from the start.
As far as 3rd party hardware is concerned, I wouldn't mind just getting an Apple Airport station at this time, but really don't want to spend the $ if it's an issue with either the laptop or its Airport card. I guess I could get one here at the local Apple store and bring it back if it doesn't work any differently (at least then I'd know it's either a laptop or a Comcast Cable-issue...).
System setup:
Desktop: G3 "Graphite" iMac / slot-loading / 400Mhz / 640MB RAM / 10.3.9
Laptop: 15" G4 Aluninium Powerbook / 1.25Ghz / 1GB RAM / 10.4.6
Wireless: Buffalo AirStation Turbo G WHR-HP-G54 (wireless to laptop / ethernet to iMac).
Powerbook 15/1.25GHz/1GBRAM Mac OS X (10.4.6)

It sounds as though you're having a problem with DNS lookups. Try this, type into Terminal (Applications > Utilities)…
sudo lookupd -flushcache
It will subsequently ask you for your administrator password. Type it in and then wait for the prompt to return. Do not do anything before then. Now, restart and see if things are any better.

USB Wireless Router. Anyone tried with 3G?

I'm not talking about a USB Wireless (or Wi-Fi) adapter. I'm talking about a USB Wireless Router like Synet's Windy31 USB Wireless Router ( http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-9904137-1.html ).
This will connect to a Window PC's USB port and create a wireless network by sharing the computer's internet connection. This sounds like it will be really useful when I'm travelling with just my iPhone and not a laptop. I can plug this USB Wireless Router into a friend/family member's PC or laptop and share their internet connection via Wi-Fi.
Anyone used this particular product or know of any others? This Windy31 has had mixed reviews.

You may try to reflash the firmware manually using the file from the site. That is done by downloading firmware file and doing the upgrade through the setup page. You may refer to this link, http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=a3a56a63d7fe440da177b1b8d186f40e_How_to_manually_u...

Model BEFW11S4 wireless router just stopped working with Mac; still works with Windows

I have the above model Linksys wireless router, hard connected to a Windows XP Pro desktop unit. I also have a Windows XP Home laptop. My wife has a Mac PowerBook laptop. On Thursday last week her laptop started having trouble connecting to Internet. Problem is intermittent--sometimes can get on and sometimes now. When on it might connect to a web site normally or sometimes takes a long (as in loooooong) time connecting. My XP Home laptop continues to connect quickly and will move from one URL to another easily; no problems. She took the PowerBook to Panera and got on the Internet with no trouble. She was on for at least a half hour and suffered no outage or slow-downs. Came back home; got the same problems as before. Only thing that has changed is a big snow on Thursday, same day as the trouble started. The relationship is probably non-existent, but it's the only thing different from Wednesday (when working well) to Thursday (when started having trouble). Any thoughts? I naturally welcome any responses. Thanks, Michael Plog

Hello people. I'm having the same weird trouble: I'm having this BEFW11S4 to which I connect via another wireless AP and a switch a Windows XP PC and a MacBook Pro computer (both with Ethernet cable connected to the switch, to which the AP is connected). Both the above computers work seamlessly, but sometimes the other iMac I have in WLAN doesn't surf anymore. It can ping both MacBook Pro and Windows XP PC, but doesn't anymore ping the BEFW11S4. Wireless connection is crypted with WEP-64 bit key. When this is happening, also from the Windows XP PC I cannot get on the web interface of the BEFW11S4. It seems to be "locked" somehow. After unplugging the power and re-plugging it in, everything works again also on the iMac. Anybody managed to solve this issue? What version of Firware do you guys have? I have 1.50.13... regards.

Wireless router that plays well with Apple Airport Express

Trying to find a router (with vpn and WDS- guaranteed) so that it will allow connection to apple wireless base stations and express units. Not all routers will, and many have misleading info on sites and boxes. Many routers seem to have very weak signals when connecting to Apple airport cards in apple laptops.
Anyone have any ideas.
I would like to see one that comes with DUAL WAN's and load balancing, or a way to connect such hardware together.

Hello All,
I had a very simple need, I wanted to keep my Linksys wireless router, WRT54G, not use 3rd party software and use the AirPort Express to send my Itunes Music from from PC that did not have wifi on it thru the network to a remote back rook of my house....after looking at tons of alternatives it was a really simple fix....
1. Load the software from apple that comes with the APExpress
2. When the wizard starts let it find your Airport....then choose manual set up...
3. Go to Tab Internet Connection
4. Look at the IP address listed...mine was 192.168.1.101
5. Go to the Linksys set up page
6. Applications & Gaming
7. Port Range Forward, List the word Apple- then open port 548 to 548 and then enable the IP that you saw in the IP listed in the Apple configuration window..Step 4 above
Perfect....wonderful....

Cheap wireless router that plays nice with macs??

Greetings:
I have the older cone-shaped airport extreme base station...
it's working fine & I'm very happy with it.
My situation is this....
Periodically I go thru times of network degradation when I pull my hair out trying to ascertain if the issue is my ISP mothership, my cable modem, the airport extreme base station, or any of the myriad of links in the chain along the way.
It's struck me on more than one occasion that it sure would be handy if I had *another wireless router on the shelf that I could grab & go with.
At issue, however are several matters:
--the fact that many other routers don't play nice with macs
--the fact that I **need to do WEP security (it seems to be being dropped by a lot of newer routers).......but my TIVO won't do WPA & also I still have 2 older imacs on my home wireless network.
I would LOVE to hear a recommendation of something cheap & locally plentiful (like at the local best buy) that still does WEP & will play nice with macs.
Thanks for your help.

You have the option to configure both your AirPort Extreme and the AirPort Express to "participate in a WDS network, so the Express will connect to the AiirPort Extreme using wireless only and then "extend" the reach of the wireless network.
Or, connect the Express to the Extreme using an Ethernet cable and configure it to "create a wireless nework", which will also provide more wireless coverage.....with greater bandwidth because you are connecting routers together using Ethernet, not wireless.
The following Apple document will give you all the options:

Appletv worked with old wireless router but now wont with airport extreme

I purchased an appeltv and mac mini in December. Connected everything through my old linksys wireless router and everything worked great.
past weekend I purchased a macbook and so I decided to get an aiport extreme also and keep it all in the family.
well i now have my mini, macbook, printer everythings sharing printers and streamin itunes back and forth....but now my appletv wont sync.
I cant get the appletv to popup in either of my macs itunes.
any ideas???

If the OP has used both routers then this is correct.
I suspect though that the OP has simply swapped out the router for the new extreme. In which case they may need to delete the tv's from the itunes prefs and relink them (the pass code thing). Streaming is initiated from the tv, syncing from itunes, if streaming works and syncing doesn't it may well be that the tv sees the itunes library but itunes doesn't see the tv, or at least doesn't see it as the same device it's linked to.

Need to buy a wireless router that is compatible with 10.4.11 and macbook pro, and pc. Current Airport Extreme not a compatible option. Please help with suggestions.

Any mid range options would be helpful. Thank your.

You can set up and administer the Airport Extreme from any computer, Mac or PC. The only requirement is the version of Airport Utility appropriate for the OS, in order to accomplish its initial configuration. For Tiger, it's the one I linked.
Apparently the "chat" participant simply read from Apple's web page. Anyone can do that
Client operating systems are meaningless to the Airport itself (or any other wireless router).
Linksys made fine products before Cisco bought them. Cisco is focused on large corporate deployments, not small users - abandonment of the Flip is evidence of that. Their individual consumer support is horrible.

2 systems using wireless router until I ran Windows local network setup

We have two computers accessing the internet via our wireless router. One is connected via a cable (a desktop PC), the other via a wireless connection. They both ran fine until I ran the setup for a local network--trying to connect the two to share printers, etc. Now only the laptop can access the internet. The desktop cannot. How do I fix this? We have an AMD Athlon 2800+ desktop running XP and an HP AMD Turion laptop running Vista. The wireless router is the model WRT54GX2 ver 2.

Check the Ethernet connection from Desktop to router. Also check Ip on desktop
If it is 192.168.1.X …..Try getting reply from gateway address. If so then try going online.
If you are not getting valid Ip address on Local area connection, then try changing port on router, do power cycle or lower down the Ethernet card speed to 10half Mbps.

Panasonic network cameras no longer respond appropriately

I am running 6 Panasonic wireless network cameras. 2 at this location attached to home network, and 4 at remote locations. Although the sound has never worked with Firefox, all other actions have worked perfectly until recently when the remote locations ceased to respond to motion commands. (The two on my home network continue to work normally) . If I switch to Internet Explorer, all work appropriately but I prefer to use Firefox if I can get them to work again. The cameras are Panasonic BL-C131A and Panasonic BL-C230A. I have tried disabling plugins etc but no help. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Additional information:
I am looking at the same image at a remote location through two browser windows - Firefox and Internet Explorer. The images are being up dated on both with MJPEG - settings on both browsers the same. The Internet Explorer image updates in real time appropriately, but the Firefox does not. So it appears to be that for some reason, the MJPEG is not updating in Firefox at the remote location (it works on home network). This is a recent onset since all worked a month or so ago. Thanks.

Wireless router doesn't work with Windows 8

Does anyone have experience with attempted installs of wireless routers using windows 8? I have tried to install three devices but they will not install for windows 8 and I can't find a single one that is. I don't need the internet just a router for my home wireless. Printer, mp3, etc. If you look at all of the Linksys specs online, none of them say they are compatible with windows 8 just up to 7. I have tried to install two Linksys routers and two Belkin routers and none of them will install due to windows 8 being my OS. I use a verizon hotspot for my 4g internet.

To sfd1117:
I am able to see your post in this thread: http://community.linksys.com/t5/Social-Media-Support/Facebook-com-WRT110-Internet-access-problem/m-p.... I’ve posted a reply but let me post it here:
If other devices are connecting without any problem through the router then the problem might be on the new laptop. First thing that you can try is check if the laptop can detect other wireless networks. If it can, try connecting to the other network. If it’s able to connect then it must have something to do with the wireless settings of the router. If it can’t then the problem might be on the built in wireless card of that laptop. Before calling the laptop manufacturer though, you can still try changing a setting (channel) on the router and see if the windows 8 laptop will be able to connect. For instructions, refer to this link: Changing the Wireless Channel on a Linksys Router.
By the way, what is the model number of your router?

Wireless Router MSI RG60SE - Problem With Firmware

Hi, I have firmware 3.5.3 on my router MSI RG60SE. I updated this firmware to other version from here:
h t t p://faenl.msi.com/index.php?dir=Networking/RG60SE/
Problem is, that I dont know, what kind of firmware is it. When I finish updatig firmware, I dont connet to admin mode, I dont see wifi network of router. Router is maybe broken.
I am affraid, that the firmware is some special kind of firmware. Because in one of .rar files, which are including of the firmware web (h t t p://faenl.msi.com/index.php?dir=Networking/RG60SE/firmware/), contain picture. On the picture is depicted print screen from admin mode of the router RG60SE and there is available option ENABLE BRIDGES. In old firmware this option I never seen. Here is a picture with these option:
h t t p://img268.imageshack.us/img268/8885/nlw.bmp
Please, advise me, what am I doing with it. Because, none of my devices cant connect. And I dont know connect to admin mode of router. Thanks

No idea why it blocks it.
Silly is that it does work upto the last trace.
Have you tried a ping with a larger byte size?
You do know that ping is working with extreme small blocks by default.
I just noticed Google refuses to accept large packets!
Have you tried other routes except Google?

Terrible bandwidth with phone connected to WiFi network.

When I connect my Galaxy Note 4 to my wireless network, my WiFi bandwidth is terrible. Prior to connecting the phone I am seeing 99ms pings and 10MB per second download speeds. After connecting the phone, the ping goes up to 650ms or more and the bandwidth drops to 1 or 2 MB per second. I have a DSL connection and I use Integra.net/Speedtest to test my bandwidth. Any ideas?

Most home services are much slower than cellular data.
Many factors affect DSL or cable internet. Number of people using the service or the number of devices on in your home network.
Just bad settings on the modem/router just like I said too many factors. Have your DSL provider send a tech to your home to get a signal reading.
Go into a free WiFi place like Starbucks or McDonalds or a Quick Lube center and see if the connection is better.
Good Luck
