Hi tuts69!

Welcome to Cisco Home Community Forums!

Unfortunately, it is not possible to extend the networks with the WRT54GS wireless since it does not have the connection ability. However, you can run a cable to him and set it as an access point. Here's how:

I hope this helps.

  • Unlocked Firefox OS smartphones can be used on Verizon Wireless?

    Hello. I heard THAT ZTE sells its newest smartphone OS Firefox eBay unlocked for $99. I was wondering if this smartphone can be used on Verizon Wireless in the United States. I noticed in the ad for the smartphone ZTE she currently supports 3 G speeds only and does not support 4 G LTE eBay. Verizon Wireless is a CDMA carrier for 3 g (instead of GSM), so I think the ZTE Firefox OS smartphone, and probably all other Firefox OS smartphones currently available, are not compatible with Verizon Wireless, even if they are unlocked. Any clarification on my question would be appreciated.

    Hello

    Sorry for the wait.

    No, Firefox OS devices are currently feel CDMA GSM carriers such as Sprint and Verizon will not work for two reasons:

    • Different bands
    • GSM uses SIM cards, CDMA uses some form of SIM like Verizon with LTE phones.

    If unlock you, there is a chance very light , that you can get is in Cricket, Straight Talk, MetroPCS, or something similar, but right now (to my knowledge), Firefox OS devices are strictly CDMA.

    Sorry ' end that. Hope that this things clarification for you.

  • Can I use xbox 360 Wireless & the windows wireless receiver so that I can use two controllers in Windows?

    Original title: Wireless 360 controller.

    I bought the gamepad 360 Wireless for windows and it works fine. I also have an xbox for xbox 360 wireless controller. Can I use with the receiver windows wireless so I can use two controllers in windows? When I click on the Green x button it keeps just Charlotte. Is it possible to connect to windows?

I think I was just clicking on the USB thing. Now, it works fine. It's never the best stick for windows. THX.  :)

  • can I use my non wireless hp 8500 Officejet Pro to work wireless?

    Already, I have a wireless internet facility and uses a motorola 3347 modem/router.  I use a Mac with 10.5 and a PC with windows 7, especially interested in printing from the PC wireless (in the room of my son).  Can I get a usb wireless dongle and attach it to the printer.  Or better yet, can I install my printer ethernet cable modem?  I think his probabl; is not so simple, but I was wondering if there is an option that is less expensive than buying a new all-in-one wireless.  Thank you

    In fact, the best way to connect is by Ethernet to your router!  Just plug with Ethernet (and disconnect the USB).

    Download the latest version of the software for your printer (for your Mac and PC) from the "Support & drivers" link at the top of this page.  Choose "Network" as installation type when asked.

  • Not to access Internet using WRT54G Router wireless

    I'll try to provide as much information as possible. My mother-in-law gave me his wrt54g router so that we could get Netflix through our Wii. I have an old Compaq laptop for a year and am running Windows 7 with a wireless Internet connection through my service provider. I installed the router with no problems and was able to do online with the Wii. However, I am more able to get Internet access on my desk. It shows that my Internet is connected but it displays "no network access.  I had on fine at first, then I went on the 192.168.1.1 site to configure my data.  I changed my time zone and then to secure my connection.  I don't remember the exact option that I chose, but I think it was something like personal WAP2. As soon as I selected the screen has frozen and I can not access this site or access the Internet through the router. If I unplug my Ethernet cable from the router and plug it directly into the pc I get very well online. I know that this router works with a PPPoE connection, because it's what my mother-in-law a. tried to get support from my ISP, but they left open-mouthed via chat.  Can someone help me understand how to get this router to allow me access so I can use office and the Wii?  Thank you.

    Fix it!  I called my local service provider and explains the problem. He had me go in the settings of the router and change the connection between "Connect on Demand ' and 'Keep Alive '.  Everything works fine now.  Thank you!

  • 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.

  • I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

    I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

    If you want to make sure that you will be able to get the Apple support in case of problems or questions with your backups, you must use the wireless Time Capsule to back up your Mac.

    As long as the time Capsule provides a wireless signal, you can decide who to your 'main' network, then use it wireless Uverse for "guest", or children. If you do not need the Uverse router/modem wireless at all, it is possible to turn off wireless on the device and make it work only as a support modem/router...with Uverse wired.

    At this point, you can start thinking about how you want to configure things and get back in touch if you need some advice on how to do it.  We need to know what operating system that uses the Mac that you normally use to administer the time Capsule, provide good instructions, if you need it.
