Can I use my WRT160N V1 as a signal booster/access point?

I have a router Linksys WRT160N I want to use it as an access point for the devices in my basement. The main modem is a century link PK5001A. How could I go to set it up?

Yes cascade would be wired AP.

If you mean you want to change the WRT in a wireless Repeater that is different. In this case, you are lucky DD - WRT is compatible with V1.

Change the firmware for this 3rd part and configure the WRT as wireless Repeater. It is not easy to config but there is a lot of documentation for DD - WRT.

  • can I use a laptop to set up a wifi access point?

    When I first received a laptop of opportunity in last December, a colleague tech at my night school mentioned that I didn't have to buy a 803,11 access point device to plug my switch, but I rather use a WiFi card on my computer to create my own access point. I told him I have such a card and put a little out of my mind.

    However, I have someone outside to spend the night at my place, and he needs to check his e-mail. Unfortunately, it seems that the RJ-45 socket on his laptop is broken, I have tried several cables and impossible to get a connection, including the cable to connect the computer I'm using now.

    Is it possible that I can use ICS on XP Pro (preferred) or Vista 32 bit Home Premium (really want to use it, I have never set the boot loader after the upgrade to XP on a separate partition, especially because XP has worked so much better) to set up enough connectivity for him to connect to the mail server?

    Should I Windows 7 or Vista to do this? I know how to do the reverse quite easily (share Wi-Fi on the Ethernet port), but I don't know how to set up the SSID and others. I would assume same WEP or WPA2 (Yes, I know how it is easy to crack, but it's better that transmitting passwords in clear text because it discourages occasional interception) would too, so it will accept a connection open, unencrypted. I'll just close access once it does.

    How could I go to set it up? I'm not spending money on software that is not free for one night, one-shot deal. Kiss, I just need a connection of bare bones for him. If its Ethernet port was working, I would leave him to plug my switch, but since it's not I need to create a gateway using what material I have on hand, and the only device with any kind of ability 803.11 is my own laptop.

    I know it's possible, I don't know if this is something only Linux, or a solution that requires 3rd party software.

    Yes, you can use ICS.  See http://practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics/

    I forgot to include this--> http://www.home-network-help.com/ad-hoc-wireless-network.html

    You will need to configure security manually from the properties of maps dialog box wireless (on both computers) and IIRC, you can use WEP in ad-hoc XP networks.

    Go to the correct place
    Right click on the wireless adapter icon and select Properties
    Click the wireless networks tab
    Click Add to create a configuration
    in the 'Association' tab, set the SSID, network authentication 'Open' and WEP data encryption.
    It's been so long that I made that I remember exactly, but I think you can use only the 10 digit Hex key.

  • How can I use the USRP to record a signal using its two RX ports simultaneously?

    Hello.

    I am trying to record a signal using two antenna cone. The reason that I need two antenna to cover the bandwidth (DC - 6 GHz). a single antenna covers DC - 300 MHz and the other covers 300 MHz to 6 GHz. so I need to use two RX port of USRP at the same time to record the signal. I have two questions:

    1. is this all USRP market capable of covering this frequency range?

    2. is it possible to use the two RX port at the same time to the signals of the records I described? If this is not the case, how can do?

    P.S. I have two NI2920 USRPs and two USRPs N210 in my lab.

    Thanks in advance for your time.

    Sam.

    Hi Sam,

    To answer your first question, the USRPs you can reach the bandwidth you want. There is not a USRP, to my knowledge, that can reach this range in a single device.

    Also note that you can only use RX convened for two different ports at the same time using LabVIEW and the pilot of the USRP. If you want to use the two lines of RX, you will need to run a session with a single line, close the session and then start a different session for your second RX line.

  • How can I use my PXI-6115 meter analog signal trigger to generate pulses of frequency

    I work on a PXI-6115 DAQ card and want to using the analog signal to trigger the counter it's generating frequency pulses. The manual says the analog trigger is supported, but I can't use an analog signal to trigger the start of work, in the test, I use the counter 0 to generate pulses and use the signal input port analog trigger PFI 0, can someone tell me what it is? My test VI. & error message appears in the attachment.

    Best regards

    If you read the error you can see digital triggers are the available trigger only when you use the output of the counter.

    You can work around this by setting up a dummy analog input task which will trigger an internal digital triggering when he sees the right analog trigger.

  • Can I use my WRT160N to replace my ISP

    Hello. This is my first post here. I'll try to make sure that I'm not asking too many stupid questions.

    I have a home network with nodes wired & wireless setup. Right now I use my ISP unit 'all-in-one' WAN/LAN/router to do this, but I want to disable wireless to my ISP and my WRT160N unit allows to replace the Wireless part. If there is no way to go JUST the wireless part, tor if it's easier to use the WRT in place or in addition to the device from my ISP, which also works.

    My ISP router is 10/100Mbps cable & 802. 11 b / g & the WRT160N would give me a lot more speed if I can integrate it.

    My questions are:

    (1) is there anyone on please tell me if the WRT160N is able to do this?

    (2) if so, how? Are there ways to do?

    Thank you in advance for help.

    Hello bamim2. Here is a link to give you an idea on how you can configure your with your ISP modem-router WRT160N: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=3733

  • On eBAY, I can't use the sorting feature, expand, or look at this point - I used to be able to do with firefox and all of a sudden stopped working. I think it was the last update of Mozilla Firefox. What can I do?

    eBAY has stopped working the way that it used with Firefox, my browser. Sort, enlarge the picture, look at this point - they are all no longer work.

    URL of affected sites

    http://eBay.com

    Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin - container.exe" who was using much of my CPU when I open several tabs containing Adobe Flash files and locked up Firefox.

    My solution is to use Firefox 3.5.10, which you can get on the Mozilla site at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    I use Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the date of issue, in my opinion, it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".

    If all goes well, they will set Firefox 3.6 in the next version (for example Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use «Firefox 3.5.10»

  • I can't use msiexec. Says "...". cannot access... ». I reinstalled 4.5. I re-recorded, but no luck. Help, please

    I have developed problems with the installer after that I got problems with the trend. I tried to re - install trend, but he didn't, so I executed this cleanup of their tool.

    I can't say with certainty that he had caused my problem, but I noticed that I couldn't install or uninstall anything by using "Add or remove programs" from the control panel and others (Kasperski evaluation installed however. I can not uninstall). I read the pages of microsoft and found 2 possible solutions. 1 re register using mdiexec.exe / unregister and .../regserver and

    2 reinstall the windows installer.

    I tried both, but no luck yet. I noticed that there is an installshield service that is running as well. I also tried to install 3.1 but it wouldn't let me. Can someone help please.

    I am slot as Windows XP Home 32 bit

    PS {it worked fine a month or two back - until I had the problem of the trend).

    I found the problem! Something caused the installation service to be stopped. I restarted services, and everything looks okay for now. Thanks for the help.

  • can I use one extreme of the airport to connect to a time capsule that is already defined as an Extender?

    I would use my Airport extreme for WiFi signal booster in my office room. I use a Time capsule as a base station and I use a second Time capsule as an Extender. Now, I want to measure my extender... I can get them both to look at my base station.

    That's what I have... But I would get my Airport express in series with my Time capsule, it becomes a single string.

  • Can we use Forms SINGLE SIGN ON (SSO) to access publishers BI

    Hello

    We feel SSO for Fussion of Middleware Oracle 11g. so using this we are access application form.

    Can we use Fussion of Oracle 11g SSO Middleware to access the editor of BI Application.

    So my requirement is single sign-on (SSO) in forms, can access BI Publisher.

    If anyone knows pls guide me.


    Thank you.

    Published by: Sridhar 1245 on November 26, 2012 20:48

    As I said, this has nothing to do with the forms. If you do not access forms using SSO, then by calling BI Pub in the same browser session, the new browser window would contain the same SSO session details and allow authentication even to use IF the app (Pub BI) is configured to use SINGLE sign-on and is compatible with the SSO version you use. If this does not work, then you must remove the forms of your tests and try to run a report without Forms. Call him directly and see if it displays the same SSO login screen. If so, can identify you? If it does not display the same SSO login or you cannot access the report then the problem is in SSO or BI Pub. Make sure that you access the same SSO server that uses Forms.

  • A WRT160N V3 can be used as wireless access point.

    I have an AT & T's broadband router.  A WRT160N is connected, so I now have Wireless N capabilities.  I have a second WRT160N I want to put in my living room as a point of access, so I can connect my BluRay player and video stream.  How can I configure the second WRT160N as access point?

    Thank you in advance,

    Andrew

    Topic 1. Yes, you can use your second WRT and put in place as a second access point to your network. First of all, unplug the second WRT to your network and wire a computer in one of its LAN ports. Open the web interface at http://192.168.1.1/ on the main configuration page, change the address LAN IP of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2 and disable the DHCP server. Save the settings. Unplug the computer and connect the cable to the first router on one of the second router's LAN ports. Do not use the internet port of the second router! Now you can use the wireless access point in the second router as access point additional for your network.

    For a wireless roaming the two Wrds with identical wireless settings (SSID, wireless security, etc.) and don't forget to enable the SSID broadcast. Only the channel assignments should be different. Different channels spaced at least 5 avoids duplication of canals. Now your laptop can connect to your network via either WRT and internet through the first WRT. It must also be able to move between the two Wrds without losing the connection.

    Re 2. Because the WRT160N has only the ethernet 10/100 ports a CAT5e cable should do. Of course, you can consider getting a better cable, for example a cat6 for future enhancements to your network. It depends on how much effort it is necessary to replace the cable later if you decide to go for gigabit ethernet on your local network.

  • Can I use the Time Capsule wireless for multiple computers without using it as a router?

    I am looking for an external backup for 2 computers drive.  I have a desktop iMac and MacBook Air.  I like the idea of being able to back up my MacBook Air wireless, but I need to make sure that it will work the way I need to.

    I already have a wireless router that works well for me, I don't need the time Capsule to act as a router. I'm just needing a wireless backup drive.  So, the question is, can I use the only time Capsule as a storage device for backup of wifi or do I also have to use it as a wifi router?  My fear is that the router service is not as good as the router, I currently have.  I live in a big House of 2 floors, making it very difficult to receive a strong signal throughout the House.

    can I use time Capsule only as a backup wireless storage device or do I also have to use it as a wifi router?

    Time Capsule need to connect to your router/modem existing using wired Ethernet wired, permanent.

    If you plan to use the time Capsule to back up your Mac with the help of the application Time Machine on every Mac, the Mac will have to save on the wireless signal Time Capsule for the process to be officially supported by Apple.

    While it is possible to turn off wireless on the Time Capsule and try to save it to your existing wireless network... and it pourrait work... but there will be no Apple support backup problems... so it would be a good idea to plan to use Time Capsule wireless backup purposes.
