How to connect a second router WRT54G

I can't get a signal through my entire House so I bought a second router WRT54G, running that the Setup disk affects only the first router so how do the other work?

  • Connection with a switch EZXS55W or a second router WRT54G to my router network WTR300N home?

    I have a home office in my basement with my computer connected to a lan of my WRT300N router that is set up on the first floor and networking with three additional computers to the floor as well. I want to add 2 additional computers in my basement and wireless is not a good set upward because the signal strength is very low. I have great reception on the floor and even on the second floor where my children are connected from their rooms. My question is: I have an older WRT54G Router I use is more and want to know if I can connect it to my WRT300N using the lan line ran down in the basement which is connected to one of the Ethernet ports of the WRT300N? If so, how the connection and set up the second router? Also, I can use Ethernet cables to connect my three computers to the second router or what I need to use the wireless of the second router? I was looking at the switch EZXS55W at the Wal-Mart local and thought that was my answer, but after a search through all the answers of the basis of knowledge here, I'm confused on the approach to take and which one would be the best game for me. Here, any help would be great!

    With the EZX you extended your wired LAN. You can still use the WRT54G to add another point for other cable ports and wireless access. Just do these 4 steps as stated in my previous post.

    You can connect the WRT54G the WRT300N or the EZX. Basically, it's all the same. You don't have to turn off the switch before you connect a device.

    If you want to use the additional wireless WRT54G, you can try to set up a roaming wireless network. Implement the WRT with identical settings as on the WRT300N wireless, i.e. identical SSID and wireless security the same (preferably WPA2) personal with a good password. Do not turn off the SSID broadcast on either WRT. Only the allocation of channels should be different at a time to avoid any interference. Now the devices should be able to move from one access point to another without losing the network connection.

    However, if you perform this configuration test carefully. I don't know how it works if you have a N Router and a G. If this does not work, use different SSID on both. You can then choose which SSID to connect to on the client.

  • As a second router WRT54G

    Hello

    In my home network, I have two routers connected LAN - LAN mode. My main router (not a Linksys router) is connected to the ISP by modem and my secondary router, which is a Linksys wrt54g, connected to the main router with wired connection. I followed the instructions here:

    http://www.Linksys.com/ca/support-article?articleNum=132275

    Everything works fine except that I can't access the administration page of the secondary router remotely. I tried to configure the VPN connection and redirect to the main router, but the administration of the port of the secondary router page is not accessible (while the accessible primary router administration page).

    My question is can I access the administration page of the secondary router remotely when two routers connected? If yes how do I configure the router of the secondary (VPN, port forwarding, etc.) and the first?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hi, topplenz. Possible reasons that you cannot remotely access the secondary router is because the DHCP server has been disabled through the installation of LAN to LAN and the secondary router depends on the IP address of the a main. We suggest to use the LAN to WAN cascading instead.

  • How to implement as a router WRT54G - Type of Internet connection in cascade

    Dear Sir / Madam

    Been scouring the Internet and seems that nobody begs the question...

    I'm trying to configure my Linksys WRT54G (v5) as a regular secondary router (turn off wifi) cascading off my another Wifi router that is connected to an internet modem.  I went through the web and found useful points on other areas of the installation program.

    However, in the "Basic settings" page under "Setting up the Internet" for "Type of Internet connection", what should I choose?  I am NOT connect the WRT54G to the internet modem, on the contrary, I'm linking to the internet via my primary router.

    Help, please!  Thank you!

    Simon Mak

    Hi, simon_s_mak. Yes, you can set it to auto DHCP. It wouldn't really matter, since the DHCP capability will be disabled.  Therefore, it will exercise a switch only.

  • Equium A60-181: how to connect to the router belkin wireless encrypted?

    The title says everything, how can I connect this laptop to my network with 128-bit encrypted signal. The router that I m trying to connect to is a belkin and connected without any problem before encryption. So please help me because I want to use my laptop again with the guarantee of the encrypted signal thank you.

    Hello Dean

    If your laptop can see your WLAN, it must be a problem with the network settings. In my view, you must configure the router to the factory settings and try to establish the connection without any network key.

    If it works well, you can then configure the network to be sure.

  • How to connect wireless the WRT54GS

    I have a router WRT54GS I want install Wireless with my Windows XP desktop that has only an installed wireless adapter. There is no ethernet on the pc port. I have reviewed the Stickys are and read that FAQ, but still did not find a response stating clearly how to set up the router without using an ethernet cable connected to the pc. I want to be able to access the configuration page based on the web as well for what I can fix my settings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    As a general rule, it is best to configure the router using a wired connection to be sure that you set up your router and not someone else... So if you have any wired ethernet device, it is best to use it rather than try a wireless only configuration.

    You can set only through wireless, however, you must ensure that you are connected to your router at the beginning. More simple test would be to unplug your router power and control for available wireless networks. If there is still a "linksys" network to be seen, you must be very careful.

    Anyway, and then reconnect your router to power. Do your research to computer networks and connect to the network not secure "linksys". It is best to put the computer near the router to do this to make sure that you connect to your router.

    Then open the web interface at http://192.168.1.1/ default password should be "admin", no required user name.

    To be sure, it's your router, go to the status page, see that it's really a WRT54GS and check MAC address, that you see here. It must be identical to that printed in the WRT (maybe one or two off the coast in the last digit). If it comes from a completely different MAC address, check local and SubTabs wireless network and MAC addresses there. If all MAC addresses are completely different, unplug the router from the power and see if your computer is always connected to the interface web or not.

    Anyway, once you have established this really is the web interface of the router, check the version of firmware and on the router and that is available online. It is better to update the firmware before doing the configuration. If you have the latest firmware, you must configure the router. I recommend the following steps:

    1. go to the wireless page. Change the SSID to something unique. Save the settings.

    2. you will lose the connection. Redo your computer search for networks. You should now see the new unique SSID. To connect to this network and reopen the web interface.

    3. then set up wireless security. Enable WPA2-Personal with AES encryption and set a strong password. Save the settings. You will lose the connection.

    4. now, you have to reconnect. Depending on your computer and use the software to set up the wireless, you may need to remove the unique SSID firstly in the preferred network list before you can reconnect. Usually, the computer remembers the SSID joined before and does not connect if security settings do not match the one used before. But you should know that.

    5. as you are still using XP the computer may not support WPA2 and AES encryption (which is the best and strongest that you can use today). So, if you're absolutely not able to reconnect to the computer you will need to reset the default router by pressing the reset for 30 seconds button and start over. Then choose personal WPA with TKIP and a strong password. It should work. I would not recommend to use WEP is easily broken.

    6. Once you have successfully set up your desktop to connect to your secure wireless network, you should make a change more: change the password for "admin" on the configuration page "Administration".

    7. don't forget to clean the list of preferred wireless networks, in particular, do not forget to remove the network "linksys" to this list. Otherwise, your computer can automatically connect to a network "linksys" if one comes available nearby.

    This should be it.

  • Add WRT54G: second router / access point, unable to get to the outside network.

    Here is the prob:

    We just got cable internet the other day and the cable operator insisted on using their v1000 Belkin F5D7234-4 instead of my WRT54G V8. So I thought I'd use the WRT54G as a second router/AP (without wireless/LAN/WAN). I was eager to do this by running an ethernet in the WAN on the WRT54G port and plug it into the port of the client on the Belkin, place the wrt - 54 G at the other end of the House and have the WRT54G broadcasting the same SSID and require authentication even as the Belkin and use the Belkin to Linksys Wireless Bridge. In this way, it will extend my wireless network and all computers can access the internet and the other (wireline customers will keep at wire-speed, wireless is not authicate to two different networks.)

    I can't get the Linksys network based able to see all the other computers outside the WRT - 54 G, even for wireless clients. On the side of things Belkin network, I can't ping the router even if she pulls a DHCP in the Belkin address. All customers the Belkin side can meet and thin internet. I've fiddled with the WRT54-g for almost an entire weekend now with no result. The WRT54G can see the other router as a DNS as well as external DNS providers, but none of the client computers can. Basically, I'm wanting to extend the network of Belkin 4 as most cable customers and fill a few dead wireless, and make the visible computer on the same network of suggestions?

    Parameters of WRT - 54G:

    Automatic configuration - DHCP

    Same domain name like Belkin
    IP router set a tire to the DHCP server

    DHCPserver OFF

    Mode of operation: router

    Safe are disabled.

    Wireless SSID is the same as Belkin

    Wireless channel is the same as belkin.

    Method and auth. key is the same as belkin.

    Belkin:

    DHCP is on.

    15 IP addresses available.

    Wireless gateway is on with the WRT54G Wireless MAC address information.

    Ethernet cords are connected.

    I played with static routes for hours, tried the option routing dynamic, even tried DMZing of the WRT54G intellectual property in the belkin and still unable to connect to the internet. Tried the Belkin MAC address cloning. Nothing seems to work. When I plug the WRT - 54G directly in my digital/Modem/phone cable box, I get internet and everything. I'm at the point of throwing same DD - WRT on it.

    But beyond connection "wireless" I discovered really does not work if well (drops random wireless speeds seize up) with two different pieces of equipment running two different firmwares. So the thing connecting wireless set was out the window.

    I however knew what I had to do Linksys firmware:

    1.) DHCP clients forward.

    Customers of Belkin - network

    Linksys customers - network B

    The dhcp pool was not get transferred to the client computers. That is the 1-2 on network computer had XXX. XXX.100 - 102 for 3-4 computers on network B was YYY. YYY. YYY statically set by Windows. Even after changing to a static address on the network A dhcp scope I could still connect to the internet or to one of the computers on the network.

    The static routing table seemed not lead me anywhere either, and I've tried dozens of configurations.

    The way I got it Setup is with the customer enthernet of the Belkin ROUTER to THE Internet on the Linksys WRT54G port 1-4. Maybe I should have plugged the ethernet on the client side of 4 ports Linksys?

    Anyway DD - WRT redirect DCHP feature was what I need.

    Regarding the scenario wireless two routers have the same encryption method and key but different channels and ssid. Who, with DD - WRT for some reason when I jump on the wireless-B, Vista will be ID it as network A (B).

    I hope that it has not violated anything except the guarantee which was anyway. The reason for which I needed for my network up this way is because I do a lot of work using VM (of various operating systems), is simply easier to have two separate semi networks.

  • Router WRT54GS WET54G bridge question, the bridge to connect to a wired router?

    Hi all

    I have a wireless - g LAN using a WRT54GS router.  The existing wireless devices on the local network are 2 PCs, a TiVo unit (using the TiVo wireless adapter) and 2 WET54G Wireless bridges.  A bridge connects ethernet wired to a network printer.  The other bridge connects by ethernet cable to a reader Blu - Ray Sony BDP-S550.

    Security is WPA2-AES.  so far this works well, believe it or not, but I grew a lot older, making it happen.

    Now, here's what I would do: I would like to add another device LAN cable where the second bridge WET54G connects to the Blu - Ray player.  The bridge has only an ethernet cable connection, so I have to find another way to get the two devices connected to the wireless LAN.

    I have two other devices LinkSys, kicking around here that I can use.  One is a BEFSR41 wired router.  The other is a WAP54G Wireless Access Point.   If I can use one or two of those who in some way, I won't have to buy another camera.  It is the order of the day so far.

    Right now it looks like this:

    Router WRT54GS wireless wire WET54G bridge entry WAN router BEFSR41 son to two LAN devices.

    I have problems performing this work, assuming that it can still be done.  Can I get this config to work, or what I need to add the Access Point where the bridge is now, or...?

    Thanks for your time,

    Big Al Mintaka

    You already have a network working with your existing devices. What you're trying to include in your network is possible and can be done. Rather than plug the cable of the WET54G to the WAN port on the router, connect the cable to the router's LAN port. Disable DHCP and change the LAN ip address in the range of your existing network. It should work.
