Linksys bridge to extend your wireless Signal

Hello

I just installed a Linksys WRT160N router. The signal started of good about 50 to 70 feet of the location of routers. Now the signal is part as low in many, 54 Mbps. I was wondering what options I might have to install a wireless for the expansion of the signal bridge. I configured a network encrypted with WPA2. Any advice would be appreciated to help me buy the right bridge. Also, I wonder what would be the technical difficulty to install and configure. I have configure the WRT160N myself if it means something.

Thank you

Hello TooManyDonuts,

I updated the firmware on routers to the latest version. He used the firmware from 2007. I have udated the Intel wireless adapter to a newer version of the driver. I choose channel 8 in the range of 2.4 Gig for the router and choose channel 8 for the adapter.  I increased a couple of options for the adapter wireless beyond the default option. I don't have that options a, B and G for the adatper, no N option. I guess that you may not have everything. Now the signal is very good (54 Mbit/s) and I always use WPA2-Personal. Thanks for your help, it worked.

Thank you

  • Linksys WRT54G broadcasts simultaneously two wireless signals.

    Everyone knows the Linksys WRT54G Router broadcast two signals?  I did a wirelss security reset in my modem the other day and changed the name of the SSID broadcast.  Now I have the old and the new SSID broadcast at the sametime.  When I go into my router I see that a new figure.  My problem is that the new SSID I created is encrypted with WPA Personal and older SSID broadcasting still is not encrypted, anyone can jump on the signal.  The older SSID has been initially encrypted in WEP... I can't understand this.  Can anyone help?

    FYI... the new SSID signal is very strong and the most original is weak.

    I turned on MAC filtering wireless in order to prevent anyone with a laptop that is close to my network.

    Your router can broadcast only one SSID. If you have changed and configure WPA Personal then that's for sure.

    The unsecured "linksys" network is your neighbor. If you check the web interface of the unsecured "linksys" network you will see that it is another. See the status page.

  • How to connect a wrt150n and a whole wndr3400v2 to extend your wireless connection

    How to connect these two wireless routers, but the first as a main router without losing my security and configuration of port forwarding?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Thank you very much for the help. The wndr3400v2 is enough for my house. Yes, problem solved.

  • Bridge WRT120 and WRT54G wireless?

    I have a WRT120 connected to my modem by cable in the bedroom of my house before.  The signal is very weak in the room from behind, so I would use my WRT54G spare as acess point/bridge to extend my wireless range.  Is this possible without cable?

    No, this is not possible, you need to use a cable.  However, there may be 3rd firmware of DD - WRT that can work.  Visit their web site.

  • E4200 v2 wireless signal power is intermittent

    Just updated firmware for 2.1.39.144146

    have 5 GHz mode - mixed, WPA2, 40 mhz, channel 161 channel width

    the rule 2.4 GHz mode - mixed, WPA2, 20 mhz, Channel 6 channel width

    Online technical support said it could solve my problem, but my old e1000 had a stronger and more coherent (fluctuating) broadcast signal.

    My PC and the router are in the family room at the back of the House. The signal strength is Ok in the first room, but 2nd room in front of the House (30 feet and two walls away) it is 3 bars to nothing all the time. We have a guest who stay with us two days a week. There has never been a problem with the signal strength of the e1000 for recent years, but the v2 e4200 behaves like a piece of * beep *. I spent over 60 minutes with an online support person whose answer was to upgrade the firmware (which of course now removes a direct access to the router via the browser.)

    I hope that someone knows what I need to do to make this work, or it goes back to Amazon and I'll buy another brand of dual band N router.

    Change the channel of your router to 1, 9 or 11 to optimize your wireless signal. Maybe this link can help http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/21132/change-your-wi-fi-router-channel-to-optimize-your-wireless-sign....  If still the same, I think this device needs to be replace.

  • If you turn off your WiFi router is still sending wireless signals?

    I have the wrt54g router and if you set the 'disabled' wireless settings which means that WiFi is disabled, which stops the router actually send wireless signals?

    I guess my question is do the WiFi compatible routers send wireless signals even if you "turn off" the WiFi option on your router? Thank you.

    The WRT54G is an active wireless router. If you select off in the wireless tab then the router will not any signal wireless broadcast.

  • Airport express to extend my wifi signal

    I bought and set up the Airport express to extend a wifi signal in my house. I do not have an airport extreme as a base station - I thought I could use the express to extend the signal from my router/modem from verizon. Is this possible?

    Turned it "on" now, I don't see the express network as an option in my combo network - so assuming that it will seek to expand, what's the problem with it only shows not not in the drop-down list?

    The AirPort Express only wireless may extend over a network that is provided by another router from Apple.  As such, it cannot extend wireless signal router left 3rd.

    Another way of saying the same thing, it's that if you want to extend wireless network using a router from Apple, you will need two routers Apple.

    If you can connect the AirPort Express Terminal to your main router using a wired Ethernet cable connection, permanent, then the Express can be configured to provide additional coverage of wireless signal in this way.

  • How to enter a wireless signal and convert Ethernet cable?

    I'm totally bafled by the nomenclature of wireless gadgets and would appreciate help. I already have a wireless router that allows my laptop work anywhere in my house. My need is to recover the wireless signal and somehow get this signal into an Ethernet cable.

    The reason is that my DVR (Replay TV) connects to Internet via Ethernet (not USB) cable and I want to move to a place where it would be impractical to try the new wiring through the walls.

    Thank you!

    You need a "wireless ethernet bridge", like the WET54G, WET200 or WET610N.  Once you set up the device, just wire your DVR to it.

  • Airport Express - to extend the wireless network

    Hello

    I have 1 Airport Extreme, make a wireless network and I have 3 Airport Express, to extend the network.

    the Airport Express Terminal 2 have connection whit Airport Extreme. The last of them is too far. The last of them can connect to one of the Airport Express 2 located in Pentecost Airport Extreme connection to expand further?

    Sorry, but no.  The distant Express which is too far can connect to one of expresses it airport who are already extending the network... so that it can be used for AirPlay or to connect a USB printer. .. .but the distant Express cannot "extend" the wireless network and provide additional wireless coverage.

    Ideally, your network could have AirPort Extreme, placed in a central location in the House, and each Express which extends the network would be located approximately the same distance from AirPort Extreme... and... ACH Express would be closer to the AirPort Extreme to another Express.

    If this is not possible, then you need to look at a wired Ethernet cable solution for at least one of the Express features, or an Ethernet Powerline solution if you cannot run the Ethernet cable.

  • my printer will not get the wireless signal and so my laptop can not find print, what should I do?

    How can I make the printer get the wireless signal?

    1 Microsoft do not have printers - so it would not be my first option to ask in the forums to help MS.

    2. we have even less likely to help when you do not tell us what printer, what operating system, what router wi - fi or anything!

    I suggest that you follow the instructions in your printer manual, with operating instructions of your wi - fi router to work things out.  You should connect the printer via a cable to the wireless installation.

    If stuck try the support forums on the Web site of the manufacturer of the printer with the forums on the website of the manufacturer of the router.

  • No 2nd router Wireless signal cascade

    I have a wrt160n my main router cascading to one e1200 to the other end of my house. The idea was to improve wireless signal here. Has passed through a long discussion with Cisco support settnig system upward.

    IP address of the e1200 occupies more than 5 outside main router, dhcp is disabled. Connection bewtween routers is Wan to Wan.

    I wired the e1200 but no signal wireless signal. Any ideas?

    You mentioned that there is a WAN - WAN connection. Is your E1200 a version 2 router? If the wireline work, the wireless should work as well. Were you able to configure the settings of you before Wireless 2 routers cascade? Did you use the same network names? If you have done so, turn off the WRT160N and leave the E1200 power and see if it is broadcasting. Otherwise, you will need to access the router's interface again and adjust the wireless channels.
