2 WAP54G

I'm starting to set up a wireless link to another building and bought 2 of WAP54G as recommended. I also bought 4 of HGA7T as suggested [device 2]. I see the very low signal strength. even more than 50 feet. I believe I followed Fred Z guidelines in its installation procedures, but maybe not! I put them as access point on the same channel. Fix? Also, the help file that opens when it is on the wireless page mentions the transmission power, but the there is no button to change it. I have a 'UK '. If it is disabled? Thank you.

Setting the power is not an option via the firmware factory regardless of what is stated in the manual.

There is a firmware of third person out there who has this option, but install it voids your warranty.

Currently, we use a combination of firmware and hardware mods to get the best power.

Frankly, if funds allow for this that I recommend getting another AP to act as a Repeater or get better quality antennas to give you the coverage you need.

Fred

  • Problems with getting WAP54g repeat (extend) wireless network

    At one of our offices, we have a Cisco ASA5505 firewall that has dhcp active. I have a WRT54G Router plugged into this active firewall with DHCP. The scope of our internal network is 192.168.51 *, but when it is connected to the WRT54G, it gives you the scope of 192.168.1. * We have an antenna amplifier screwed into one of the ports on the router antenna. This configuration all works very well.

    The problem is to install a WAP54G access point in a building on the property (picks up the signal fine wireless router) to repeat the signal wireless at the rear of the property where the router will not reach. I've read that all you have to do is type the routher wireless mac address in the access point and select "wireless Repeater". I have the channels set to 6 on both devices as well as the same security configuration. When I try to connect to the network wireless access point, it never gives me an ip address in the scope 192.168.1. *, that the WRT54G is configured to give. Anyone know what could be the problem?

    In addition, in this configuration should the WRT54G be defined on the router or gateway mode? I didn't need to distribute ip addresses

    Here are the ip addresses and the data of each unit

    Cable modem-->

    Cisco ASA 5505 Firewall - 192.168.51.1-->

    WRT54G - IP address of the router - 192.168.1.1, however it uses DHCP and the ip address and the gateway he uses for the internet are of the order of 192.168.51. *-->

    WAP54G - 192.168.1.245

    Any help would be appreciated, I might even make a phone call. Thank you

    I got it. I was working with security personal WPA2 on both devices. I removed the security completely and both devices connect then. I then used to fix, WEP. The two devices communicate with WEP.

  • Change password on WAP54G

    I use a linksys WAP54G distribute throughout my house to my ISP router wireless is not wireless. I tried to change the password on WAP, but somehow I can't access using the default IP and the password. Unfortunately, I have reset the linksys and it now shows the security settings as long as it is open and I can't make sure that I can not access the WAP. Nothing I have tried seems to work. Can someone advise on how I can re - activate a secure all network by changing the password?

    Thank you. I used the Live Chat to get the problem solved.

  • Linksys WRT54g + WAP54g setup help

    Yes I know im using a material more older, but its what I have available lol. Hoping someone can help out me. its been listen to me like hell.

    play with it for a few days and I can not understand
    its driving me crazy lol hope someone can help.

    Here's the Setup program.

    WRT54g router is configured in A with connection Wi - Fi on.
    Laptop to wireless connection point C , which lies on the opposite side of the House. so that means that it is very weak signal.

    now looks like A-C

    Now, I tried to put WAP54g to the point B , so that she could get the signal to the point and he raises so that the signal can reach the point C

    so, it looks like now a C-B - less is what im trying to accomplish.

    the wap54g does for AP mode and I tried all the MS and cannot operate. IM missing a step, i just don't know where lol

    Access point
    The AP client
    Wireless Repeater (it seemed like the obvious choice, but it does not work or I did wrong)
    Wireless Bridge

    can anyone?

    Thank you

    If you are referring to my previous post, you can configure your access point in Repeater mode and router and wireless access point communicates and it will send the signal wireless to your laptop. If you want to connect the AP wired to the router then configure the AP in AP Mode.

  • Using a WAP54G as a Repeater for router E2500

    I have E2500 Wireless N router that I bought recently to replace a cheapie netgear that I lent to the family.  The router is in the basement near a bunch of metal ducts and I live near a radio station, which I believe is killing my signal.  in any case, I was able to pick up a WAP54G wireless access point.  I would use it as a wired Repeater (if all goes well for the signal upwards in the upper levels of my home).  Can I use the WAP54G with the E2500?  I looked in the settings page when I tried to set up as a Repeater, and he says he will only connect with another WAP54G or a WRT54G (linksys g wireless router).

    The installation program to use the WAP54G as access point wireless, with a connecting cable between the WAP54G and your router is fairly simple.

    The default IP address a WAP54G is 192.168.1.245.

    If your router is the default address 192.168.1.1, you can direct cable connect the WAP54G to the router.

    Then open a Web browser and access the WAP54G its default address 192.168.1.245, password "admin".

    If everything succeed insofar as you can leave the WAP54G default LAN settings.

    Just adjust the settings wireless to your wishes: set an SSID, unique and different, then your router, set a channel, unique and different, and then your router, set the type of wireless security and the sentence of past (I suggest the same thing as your router).

    On the password tab, you set your own password to access the WAP54G for future configuration.

    Everything else can be left by default.

    Power cycle the WAP54G after all your changes, you should now be able to wireless connect to the SSID WAP54G and its own wireless security settings and you should have access to the Internet through the WAP54G.

  • Linksys Wireless-G Access Point WAP54G ver 3.1 security problem

    Hello!

    I have WAP54G access point in our network. I would like to change the WPA security settings, but am not able to do.

    I did everything as mentioned in the installation manual, and I get to the 5th sheet of status points: Firmware version v.304, MAC (numbers), the 192.168.1.245 IP address, SSID linksys channel Channel 6 and disable WEB security

    What I would do, is to change the SSID and WPA2 security. When I'm clicking 'Yes', he goes to the next sheet "Password", I write admin and click on "Enter". "I'm going to pop-up window Setup access violation" at address 0049BDB6 in module 'Setup.exe '. Write to the address C933016A. »

    So please, any ideas what to do? This shouldn't be so hard... It works very well as an access point, but I need to have at least some security.

    P.S. both are physically the same hub

    I suggest resetting the access point and configure manually. Access just the link below for your reference.

  • WAP54g does not recognize the IP address of my laptop with active Mac filtering

    I have reset my factory default WAP54g v3.05 to allow access to the older computer to my network.

    Now, I reinstalled for better security using my new laptop: no SSID broadcast and WPA2-Personal encryption. However, when I activate the Mac filtering and allow my laptop more recent, the WAP54g does not recognize.

    Disable Mac filtering and my laptop is back on the network.

    Any suggestions to solve this problem would be appreciated.

    Make sure that the MAC address of the wireless network adapter in the MAC address filtering tab. To get the MAC address of the wireless network card. Click on start-> Go to run-> type-> CMD-> Hit Enter type ipconfig/all

    This will give a show you the MAC address for adapter ethernet and a wireless adapter. You must select one for the wireless network adapter.

  • Impossible WAP54G access default IP address

    Hi people:

    My sister uses an old Linksys Wireless Access Point (wireless router), a double-antennas workaholic called WAP54G. It is a very basic, solid unit, worked fine for a long time, with one exception, that I just find out.

    While using his cell phone the other day in his place, I noticed that its network is an unsecured network by default. I decided to fix it, by creating a network and password name.

    I have reset the WAP, once again, then connected directly with a standard Ethernet cable. Then I used a command prompt and "ipconfig/all" (Windows XP) to find the default IP address, which was '169.254.202.48 '. It was unusual, because most of the default addresses are "192.168.1.245" or I also saw '192.168.1.251.

    In any case, although that directly connected, WAP has failed not only to its default address, but none of them. I can't do it. The unit works great, browser and e-mail are in agreement.

    Any suggestions as to why I can't?

    Thank you very much

    Wayne

    1. I didn't tell you to put the default gateway to 192.168.1.245. Makes no sense. The WAP is not a router.

    2. the default password for the WAP54G (devices and all the most Linksys) is "admin". Usually you do not enter any user. Leave the field empty user and enter "admin" in the password field.

  • WAP54G Repeater connecting an E2000

    I just installed an E2000 router in an office on the first floor. The signal strength is very low down, so my question is:

  • Wrt54G bridge WAP54G

    According to the information at the bottom of the WAP54G Setup screen, it can connect to the WRT54G without an another WAP54G. I want to do is use the WAP54G as a bridge to connect my DVD player with Ethernet connection to the internet via the WRT54G. Both units have the latest firmware updates. When I put in place because I think it should be the WAP54G has all the lights, but the DVD Player cannot connect to the internet. What is the possible cause.

    Nothing beats a "client access point". I wrote that you must configure it as a 'Client AP'. It's what you want. And it is the label for the option that is available on a WAP54Gv3 with firmware v3.01 according to UI demo. "Client of the AP" mode, it connects to a point of access as a customer and allows a single cable to via the wireless connection.

    A bridge is more complex because it connects two wired segments, i.e. multiple devices on each side.

    I've written before that it does not work with a WRT54G.

    There is a support web site with download support for your device, including guides and tools.

  • Connecting 2 antennas to WAP54G

    Hi all.

    I want to connect to a local (wired) network to a WLAN 2 km through 2 WAP54G in the formation of bridges. My? is on the side of WLAN do I need to connect 2 antennas to my 2nd bridge WAP54G which connects to the WLAN, so that the second antenna connects to a 3rd WAP54G in AP mode (for wireless clients) or can I connect the two with a cable.

    LAN - WAP54g = (BRIDGE) = WAPG54g - AP (WAP54g) - wireless clients.

    Or is there a better way to install this network.

    Yes, I think it should be sufficient.

  • Cannot access the WAP54G after firmware upgrade

    I have updated the firmware of my WAP54G v.2; We just started to use the AP again and when I checked, I thought I would update. I was going to 1.2 or 1.4 to the latest firmware using this link http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/wireless/lbc/WAP54G, version 2. I could see the AP before starting my Dlink router. I downloaded the firmware and the upgrade of the access point. She completed successfully, but when I tried it I could reach him is no longer. I checked the router and it shows is no longer there and I can't access it via the installer.

    How you try to access the router configuration page? If the access point is connected to your d-link router, make sure that your router's default ip address and AP are in the same range. The IP default WAP54G is 192.168.1.245.

    If the router's default IP address is different, so you will need the AP wired to your computer and assign a static ip address to your computer ie: 192.168.1.10 and then connect to the access point configuration page and settings wireless entry and change the default IP of AP, which is of the order of your d-link router.

  • Installation of Repeater WAP54G

    I have a WRT54G Router and it has been fine for years of work.  I have 2 wireless computers within 20 feet of the router and 4 others across the House.  I get a weak signal across the House, so I bought a WAP54G renovated in the hope of making a Repeater near these 4 devices for better reception.  I followed the instructions provided by Cisco for setting this up as a Repeater and read through most of the messages on this topic but no luck.

    I changed the MAC address of the WAP54G to the MAC of the router and changed wireless Repeater Mode.  I also left the IP address of the WAP54G as 192.168.1.245 but I do not see the Repeater at all from any computer.  I put the radio channel of the same (Ch6) but the SID is different.  The only way I can see the WAP54G is if I plug it directly into the WRT54G Router.

    The only thing I noticed in the instructions of Cisco is that they show a WRT54G Router wired to a WAP54G and WAP54G, then another at the other end of the facility with a computer cable attached to it.  Does this mean that you need two (2) WAP54G of this works?  I assumed that you need only one (1) WAP54G and one (1) router WRT54G with the WAP54G as repeaters.

    Can anyone help?  It's very frustrating.

    I was chatting with Linksys for over an hour and still could not get this to work.  I also scanned the internet for all the forums that I could find, and it seems that many people cannot get a WAP54G to work as a Repeater with a WRT54G.  I am convinced that it will not work.  I send my return WAP54G Monday and bought a place WRE.

  • Problem installing WAP54G in Repeater mode

    I have a WAP54G-EU 3.05 firmware and firmware WRT54G-EU 7.00.1

    I would use them in Repeater mode so I put. I also put in the WAP54G wireless to the router MAC address, the SSID of the router. The WAP54G is on static IP and the computer that is connected to it also has a fix IP address. No security option is set to none on the router and access point.

    From the desktop, connected with a wire to the access point I ping the AP, but I cannot ping the router and the desktop computer connected to the router. It seems that the WAP54G and WRT54G can not communicate with each other.

    What can I do?

    It is a known problem.

    The use of the WPA in Repeater/bridge mode interrupts the connection.
