Help to set up the Linksys WRT54GH as Access Point

I would like to connect my WRT54GH to my main router with RJ45 (so I can get the signal full force) in order to be used as a point of access but I m not sure about the configuration. Can someone help me configure my WRT54GH?

Kind regards.

Manual.

Follow the instructions for 'LAN to LAN' Cascading in the link below:

In waterfall or connect a Linksys router to another router

Thing to keep in mind when cascading a router:

  1. Change the IP address of the secondary router to something like 192.168.1.254 so its on the same network, but is not in conflict with the main router
  2. Make sure that the DHCP service is disabled on the secondary router
  3. Make sure that nothing is ever connected to the Internet port on the secondary router
  4. Differentiate the wireless SSID by location (Ex: downstairs) and the channel

  • Configure the WRT610N as an access point?

    I have a local wired network with a WAP54G access point that connects the 2 laptops wireless for the local network and internet.  I want to replace the access point with a WRT610N.   How to configure the WRT610N as an access point?   Can I connect my access point to the Internet on the WRT610N, or to one of the four ethernet ports cable Cat6?

  • Connection of comments on the second WNR1000v3 as access point does not connect to Internet

    I have a WNR1000v3 (firmware V1.0.2.68_60.0.93NA) connected to the WAN and it works well. His IP address is 192.168.0.1, subnet 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.0.1, mask and DNS servers are on 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4. DHCP is configured to 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.100. I have a guest connection configured and it works well.

    I have a * second * WNR1000v3 (same firmware) bound to the first as access by using these instructions: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/23784/~/how-to-automatically-configure-a-netgear-route...

    I gave him the IP 192.168.0.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.0.1, and DNS servers again the value of Google. It has the same SSID wireless as the main router and I can move seamlessly between the two. The devices connected to the LAN ports on this access point work very well. Wireless connection works fine.

    I then configured the connection even guest on the second router (the one running in access point mode) and I can get an IP address when I use it. However I can't access the Internet. Ping 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2, and 173.194.33.137 (the IP local google.com) all fail.

    Guest connection is not supported on a router functioning as an access point? Or am I missing something really obvious?

    Thank you

    Bill

    @storm1985 I suspect that your configuration means that all the second router LAN ports will also forward only to the Internet. But this gives me a good idea to use another router just like an access point wireless for the connection of comments. (I seem to accumulate old routers.) Unfortunately, I don't have the time to try this out until late in the week, but I'll certainly do and report. Thank you!

  • With the help of the EA 6300 as Access Point?

    I have given up to get the EA6300 to work as I wanted and will get another router. In order to not be from his pocket a piece of plastic and electronics in landfills, I create the EA 6300 as 'silly' access point, just transfer the DHCP and DNS of the router and thus broaden the scope of the wireless network.

    The AP today, I use a NetGear, becoming over the years and often disconnect wifi users.

    The idea is to have the router using a SSID and let the 6300 EA using the same SSID and password in order to give a 'broad' transparent network

    Is there an easy way to implement, and if so, are there instructions anywhere for this?

    Check out the post below.

  • DHCP option to set the controller IP for Access Points (Airespace)

    Hello world.

    Does anyone have an idea to specify the controller using DHCP options.

    We use:

    -Controller AIR-WLC4404-100-K9

    -AP-1010-AP-5312 poinst access

    -Server dhcp DHCPd ISC 3.0.1

    Newspapers on DHCP server indicates that access points become the IP addresses, but the controller information are not "read" / "included".

    In the productive environment, controllers will be redundant.

    So far, we couldn't sucsessful with eighter of these configurations:

    Block i. using VTL:

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/products/HW/wireless/ps430/products_quick_start09186a00805100f5.html#wp49287

  • The connection between your access point, router or cable modem and the Internet is broken...

    -router

    connection internet dropmy every 20 minutes and again after one minute everything is as before... pls help has me... mb my router is a waste

    Wire? Wireless? Status of other computers (if any)? Router? Network devices? Type of Internet connection?

    Have you other computers can connect to the Internet using the same network hardware?

    You have any kind of 3rd party Network Manager installed, like Hello, Netmagic and the likes?

    Do you have the "Fancy" 3rd part security suits, or as the hybrid of nVidia Firewall Firewall.

    You are using more than one firewall (including native Windows), AV or other security applications active?

    If you use any 3rd part above, try to configure them to work corretly on your network, or get rid of them and see if it helps (RID, means getting rid, not just disable ).

    ------------------

    Assuming that you are connected with the wireless to the router.

    First scan the computer against the viruses and Malwares.

    When you are sure that it is clean.

    These steps and tell us where is the breaking point.

    Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

    ------------------

    The wireless card drivers much also install utility wireless of the seller.

    Make sure that if there are teas from Wireless Utility of seller does not work with the native Windows wireless utility (Service WLAN).

    ----------------

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible set up the firewall correctly, otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

    If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    party like Hello and NetMagic 3rd network managers can block local traffic too.

    ---------------------------

    Stack TCP/IP work should look like.

    Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/status-NIC.jpg

    Description is the data of the card making.

    The physical address is MAC of the card number.

    The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

    YY should be between 0 and 255

    ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

    The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

    * Note 1. IP that starts with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx isn't valid functional IP.

    * Note 2. There could be an IPv6 entries too. However, they are not functional for Internet or LAN traffic. They are necessary for Win 7 homegroup special configuration.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    A message in the small window that says connected wireless doesn't means that you are really a valid functional connection.

    Above everything is OK, you must be able to connect to the router.

    Connection to the router means that you can enter the IP of the router base in an address bar in one go, being able to connect and configure the router menus see.

    If it doesn't connect to the router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    Enable security wireless after you eat to make a functional connection.

  • Set up home network of multi access point

    Recently, I cut the string so to speak with directv and is passed to a streaming cable through view PlayStation. However this left me with a little slower network I want to. I have a 3-storey house in a crowded area and my cable modem is on the lower floor.

    Currently, I have a linksys ea3500 connected to a modem cable in the basement. I have a family room on floor 2, where I connected PlayStation. On the third floor, I have a Roku in the bedroom for live tv broadcast and also a Home Office.

    I can work around 70mbps down when connected via Ethernet to the ea3500 on the ground floor, but a signal wirelessly on the second floor is about 25mbps down and falls to 15 or so away on the third floor.

    I ordered a new router (wrt 1900ACS) and also a netgear powerline 1200 kit. My plan is to connect the line adaptor to the ea3500 and place another line on two ground adapter. To which I would link the wrt 1900 and run as an access point for the existing network. I would also link the PlayStation to the wrt1900 through cat 5 to improve the reliability of the connection.

    My hope is that this will greatly increase my speed of download available in the House. We are connected fairy and at any time have probably 10 to 15 devices (tablets, phones, laptops, TVs, desktop, nest, etc.)

    Given my current gear (and the warning that I won't have to run wires through the wall or through the vents) is the configuration I describe the best way to increase the signal strength and bandwidth bandwidth/speed? Does it matter if I use the new wrt 1900acs as a slave to the ea3500, since it will be connected via the power line to the ea3500 lan port? Should I just unplug the ea3500 and only use the 1900acs on the Middle floor and connect the power supply line direct adapter to the cable modem?

    Any idea to my plan or recommended changes to my plan would be appreciated!

    It's good then let the EA3500 and add the WRT1900ACS in via PowerLine Bridge Mode.

  • 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.

  • Satellite P875 - 32L - is unable to reconnect to the last connected WIFI access point

    I have a problem to reconnect to the last connected WLAN provider, with my Satellite P875 32 L.
    WLAN is switched on and shows all the neighbors access points, but it fails to whoever I logged before the reboot, or before you go to the rescue of the list.

    I'm going in service options for WLAN, sometiimes up to 5 times, then it undermines meet usually.
    It's well annoying.

    I have had this with the other 30 satellite of P870 too, but something so this behavior have disappeared. So there must be a solution.

    Hello

    You're talking about your private Wlan at home?
    If you had the same problem using another laptop too, it could be possible that this isn't a problem with the network s laptop wireless card or Wlan configuration but with the WLan router.

    You should definitely reset/reboot the rooter.
    In addition, check the settings of the IP router and or mac address filtering.
    Change also the type of encryption and Wlan channel.

    You have to try different combination turn off just to test the WiFi encryption and check if the laptop would connect to the Wlan open correctly.
    But the Wlan encryption must always be defined in order to avoid improper use of the Wlan access point.

  • PS B110a - wireless configuration will fail if the network has multiple access points

    Photosmart B110a (CN245B) wireless AIO printer.

    I have several wireless access points using the same SSID to provide coverage over a large area. When you install the printer on the screen TouchSmart wireless installation fails. Print report reveals the following error:

    "More than one access point/router wireless was found which matches your network name (SSID). If this is not intended, your HP printer can connect to the wrong network. »

    In my case this IS planned but there seem to be no available option to answer "OK, just connect to any point of access by using my SSID.  If I turn off all but one the APs configuration complete OK. If I have to do every time I turn on the printer the printer is USELESS for me.

    This should not be a problem.  I have a B110 (and another 10 or so HP wireless printers) on a network of airports with 5 access points and they just connect.

    Here are a few suggestions:

    1. don't use WEP - use WPA or WPA2 with a 13 + character password.

    2. enable the SSID broadcast on all access points

    3. do not use the MAC filtering acddress
