Guest WIFI Linksys WRT54GS by connecting (v6) to ActionTec (verizon fios)...

Hello

I want to activate access wifi comments so that I do not share my wifi password main with the guests to allow them to access the Internet (for browsing mainly).

I currently have Verizon FIOS as my ISP and use ActionTec (MI424WR Rev I). Unforunately, due to certain levels of firmware, allowing access as guest (via dual SSID) is not possible.

I have an old router d LinkSys WRT54GS (v6) and I was wondering if I can use to connect to my rounter Verizon ActionTec providing guest network? I want to keep Verizon FIOS ActionTec as my main router that I have other devices connected and configured for it.

So, I was wondering how to connect WRT54GS (v6) to my Verizon ActionTec rounter to leave wifi access without me offering me the passwd wifi main comments?

My WRT54GS (v6) does NOT run any DD - WRT or OpenWRT f/w but it is running original LinkSys f/w (1.52.8).

I want to know the following:

(1) do I need to connect the LAN of router LinkSys LAN Port of Verizon ActionTec port? Or can I connect to LAN_port of Verizon ActionTec WAN_port of LinkSys?

(2) do I need to disable the DHCP server on LinkSys?

(3) can I create an additional SSID (with friendly passwd) on LinkSys for allow comments access this SSID while I access my original SSID of ActionTec?

I went thru' http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=132275 and I tried, but my devices were not able to access internet when connecting to guest SSID.

Thus, you can enjoy a few tips here. Thank you!

Kind regards

Diakité.

Hi kamdard. You can actually set up the WRT54GS as a wireless network completely different from the one you are currently configuring it with a different name and a different password. If you want the host computers or wireless devices behind the WRT54GS to be able to communicate with the computers behind the ActionTec router then you can follow the method from LAN to LAN. If this isn't the case, then follow the LAN WAN configuraiton.

Only, you will need to disable DHCP on the ActionTec if you follow the method from LAN to LAN.

For easy setup, I have personally, suggest that you follow the LAN WAN config. This means that you connect the Ethernet cable between the LAN of your Action Tec port WAN or the Linksys router's Internet port. In this way, you don't have to disable DHCP in the WRT54GS and to access its configuration page via 192.168.1.1 anytime.

Furthermore, what is the IP address of your router, ActionTec? If it is on 192.168.1.1, too, you may need to change the local IP address of the router Linksys 192.168.2.1. Once done, access the configuration of the WRT54GS page and customize the wireless network and the wireless password.

Also, before all configurations, it's better reset the unit to default settings. It is done by pressing the reset button at the back of the routerfor 30 seconds while the power is on. Release the button and unplug the unit.

Hope the above helps.

  • Linksys WRT54GS Help - Bricked itself?

    Hello community,

    I recently inherited a router Linksys WRT54GS my boyfriend hasn't needed. I kept it in storage for about 6 months because I didn't really need, but yesterday, I found that lying around and decided to go ahead and plug it in, to see if I could use it as a switch to connect my computer, Xbox and PS3. So I plug it into the wall... And it seems dead. All of the lights on the front panel are turned off. On a whim, I decided to plug it into my computer, wired and test pings. I kept getting the "Network unreachable" error, and the router was not network. However, the light on the front corresponding to the numbers 1-4 port back lit up when I plugged my computer at each port. There is no reset anything else, even after a 30-30-30. Should what steps I take now?

    It is possible that the router no longer works. Have you tried to use the router when your friend gave you? If you are still not able to ping the router using its IP address standard, try setting static IP on your computer using 192.168.1.50 for the IP address and 192.168.1.1 for the default gateway. Once the IP static value, try to ping the router command and access the router page using 192.168.1.1.

  • Question to Linksys WRT54G password

    I have a router wireless of linksys WRT54G hard wired to a mac and I use the router to get your laptop online. Everything works beautifully. Now I have an iphone that I want to be able to use the same network on. When I turn on my iphone it finds the router which of course requires a password. I'm going in what I think is the password and it is denied. I am able to connect to the Web page of the router and access all my settings. On the administration tab, there is a place to change the password. I changed this and entered a new password, but the only thing that changes is the password that is used to get access to the web page of Linksys. (the web page that I can enter to change and access settings) am I wrong to think this would be the same password to my iphone application?

    Sorry for the long explanation, just try to give detailed information.

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, it's the wrong password.  Look under your security settings wireless / wireless and you will find the password requested.  This will be a key/paraphrase or password depending on the encryption you put in place.

    Please someone help me. I have Qwest DSL service, ActionTec Gt701R and Linksys WRT54G - Version 6.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Problem solved on the Forum of Qwest. The modem must be changed to use "a transparent bridging. The the WRT54G must be changed from automatic DHCP to PPPoE.

    Public static IP and Port Forwarding have nothing to do with this issue.

  • Wireless router to modem Homeportal 1800 HG 2wire Linksys WRT54G with questions

    I have the Linksys WRT54G, and I'm trying to use it as the router to my modem 2wire Homeportal 1800 HG wireless.  The 2wire has four ethernet Sockets in the back marked from 1 to 4 and a telephone jack to connect to the wall for AT & T DSL service.

    I have the phone jack connected, and:

    -an ethernet cable

    -to one of the sockets at the back of the 2wire ethernet

    -to the 'Internet' on the Linksys ethernet jack

    - and an ethernet cable

    -to one of the ethernet (1-4) at the back of the linksys

    -to the ethernet port on the computer

    The Linksys is unable to connect via the modem and reports that it may not get an IP address from the PPPoE server.  (Directly connect to the 2wire works well though.)

    Who am I wrong configuration?

    There is no side effect of bridge mode... It is one of the mode in which the modem function. When the modem is in bridge mode, you cannot go online with the computer connected directly to the modem... and you will get a 169.254.x.x ip address.

    So after you convert the modem into bridge mode, you must do the PPPoE settings on the router to go online via router.

  • Linksys E4200 and connectivity Motorola SBG6580

    Here is a picture of my home network. The problem I'm having is, I can't get the WD MyBook Live Duo to be seen on the entire network. If it is connected to the Linksys, all computers connected to the Linksys can see it, but not those related to the Motorola. If I put it on the Motorola, the same thing happens, but in the visa versa. I bought the Motorola for its DOCSIS 3 capabilities, not for the wireless. I prefer to use the Linksys Wireless. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Devices must be on the same subnet (e.g. 192.168.1.x) to be able to see each other. You could make the Sb IP 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 for the E4200 and connect a cable from LAN of the SB E4200 (not WAN) port lan port.

  • How LinkSys WRT54G v7 supports RTSP streaming service?

    Hello

    I use the LinkSys WRT54G v7 and I can see the RTSP videos using VLC player to m.youtube.com. Strangely, I can't play videos if another AP as the DLINK is used instead of LinkSys.

    I analyzed packages and discovered that RTSP server (youtube) sends RTP packets to the ports of the client which are acquired to the RTSP SETUP procedures. Then the Server packets cannot reach the customer because the hole of the UDP is not perforated to the AP.

    But, when I use the LinkSys, RTP packets can cross the NAT.

    That is my question. LinkSys offers NAT traversal for RTSP streaming service? So, why can't find a list of features on this subject from the LinkSys product information? No explanation for this?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    1. None of the NAT helpers in the Linksys firmware are documented anywhere.

    2. If possible, they added a helper for RTP.

    3. it could also be that VLC player in front of the port with UPnP.
