  Hello

  Cable/DSL wireless router are stand alone devices that are supported on any computer with Ethernet networking capabilities (cable or wireless).

  All versions of Windows + Apple + Linux may run together when connecting to a router as the WRT54, and/or routers newer wireless for the end user.

• 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.

• Disabled WRT54G, bad network connection

  I have WRT54G, v6, Firmware Version v1.00.7.

  Recently, I've disabled the security on the router to resolve the problem of Wi - Fi with Tablet.  Now, once I activated the security on the router as my mobile devices cannot connect.  Get response 'off network, bad connection '.  Very high intensity of the signal, link speed 54Mbps, WEP security.

  If I disable security, mobile devices will be connected successfully.

  You will appreciate the recommendations and/or advice.

  Try WPA

  Clear all previously used devices devices profiles and then try to connect again. The power cycle devices after erasing the previously used connection profiles, i.e. forget this network.

• 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.

• ASUS Infinity wifi connects to the WRT54G Router and network, but not the internet

  I have a WRT54G work throughout our House. It has 4 ports for wired ethernet and multiple wireless connections works without any problem. Currently my Droid phone, Tablet iPad and 2 laptops to connect and move to the internet via a wireless connection.

  Today, I bought a new Asus TF700T Infinity tablet.  I can so he can connect to the router, see the network and the router can see the Tablet Infinity (assigns an IP address), but no internet access.

  I need some ideas here, or suggestions as to what tools I can use to see where the traffic of the Tablet is blocked.  The newspaper on the router shows me nothing. I guess there is a port blocked by the router, but no idea those who.

  Tried reset hard and a firmware upgrade does not.  In fact the latest firmware upgrade (4.21.5) watered the entire network, so I started 4.21.1

  Maybe it's not a router issue maybe that's the problem with the Tablet? Can ping you the ip address assigned to the ipad? You can also try t o assign a static settings on your tablet. If these things still do not work, you may need to contact asus support.

• WRT54GS Setup on my office network

  I work for a large company and want to reinstall my wireless router, so I move me from one room to the other with my laptop without plugging in our network.

  Well, I use the router wireless wrt54G V8. Works the same as yours?

  I just went by the addition of this router as a network wireless access point on my local network.

  It's really quite easy once I realized a few things.

  First, you will need an IP address for the router to entrust your IT
  people. If you are not going to be able to get it, I'm not sure what you can do.

  IP address of the router is 192.168.1.1 default. Assuming you reset him

  router by default, simply connect a cable to one of the router's Ethernet

  ports (not the Internet port) and connect the other end to a laptop. The router will

  power to the laptop with a IP address and you will be able to run a browser for

  http://192.168.1.1 to access the router administration pages. The connection on

  my router was admin with a password of admin, but I've seen people from Linksys

  say other things, so this cannot be true for all models of router.

  Once connected to the administrative pages, you can assign any IP address

  you want to the IP address of the router. You will see the default 192.168.1.1 in

  There now.

  Assuming that your IT people assign you a static IP address of 192.168.135.37 (or

  whether it is), then you'll want to assign as the IP address of the router in the

  administration pages. Note that once you do this, you will not be able to talk

  the router via your mobile phone directly connected any longer. You will need to

  Always connect the router to your office network - via one of the Ethernet ports

  (not via the Internet port).

  You may need to reset the router after changing his IP address, even if

  I don't have to do it on my own.

  With the router connected to your office network, you should be able

  to access it from any PC connected to the network in exercise, by

  Navigate to the IP address assigned by IT (in my example 192.168.135.37

  (See above).

  Now you can activate the wireless network, assign a security mode.

  passwords/pass phrases, etc.

  When wireless devices negotiate security of your wireless router,

  they will act as if they were connected directly to your desktop in

  network.

  I can provide more details, if you wish. Perhaps by PM?

• BEFSR81 with WRT54GS to the same network?

  I currently have a LinkSys BEFSR81 connected to a cable modem that I need at least 6 ports wired to my home network.  I also have a WRT54GS which is currently unused, but I want to add to the network so I can have both wireless connectivity.

  Assuming that it is possible, what is the best way to combine the two units in the same network?  The simply connectable WRT54GS downstream of the BEFSR81 via one of the ports open?  I guess I'll have to change the IP address of the wireless device for individually accessible for configuration, check status, etc.  All the other things I have to do?

  Please notify / thank you!

  I found the solution in a previous post, sort of.  Here's what worked for me:

  (1) connect direct PC to WRT54GS

  (2) turn off DHCP and change the WRT54GS IP to 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.1 for the 'master' BEFSR81 vs).

  (3) save changes

  4) activate wireless, configure security, get access, etc. on the WRT54GS code

  (5) save changes

  (6) re - connect the PC to the original port BEFSR81

  (7) connect the ethernet on BEFSR81 port to a port ethernet on the WRT54GS (NOT the Internet port)

  (8) to enter the code in the WiFi device and make the connection...

• WRT54G will connect to the network but will not connect to internet

  Guys, I installed an older Linksys CM100 cable modem and when I did I lost the connection to the internet using the WRT54G Router. I can connect fine net when I go to right fromt the modem cable to the pc. I can use my home network very well. I did a firmware upgrade, does not. I'm losing my mind. It worked fine before the new cable modem. Does make sense to anyone? BTW, I can't connect to the internet via wired or wireless connections and ping www.google.com gives 100% packet loss. Ditto for a ping to 192.168.1.100 (cable modem) when the router is connected.

  Dear God please help me

  Thus, because no one here was able to offer all the help, I called tech support and was very surprised. I was able to get a tech immediately and without going through the 1 million on the phone buttons. The service is in India, but I could communicate well enough with him, even though I usually have people of understanding of handful who speak English as a second language. The issue that I had was that the default IP of the modem cable (192.168.1.100) and ip address of the router (192.168.1.1) were too similar. Apparently, the fact that the 3rd number 1 for both series was the cause of the problem. We changed the IP address of the router to 192.168.5.1, power cycling it and unfortunately it worked.

  I have a number of laptops connected to my local network and all wireless laptop can access the NAS Lacie cable to one of the ports on my router. My whole system works wonderful locally.

  The Lacie received a static IP address to 192.168.1.199

  My local network has an IP departure from 192.168.1.150 and ends to 192.168.1.199

  My router IP is 192.168.1.99

  I've assigned port forwarding to my Lacie (192.168.1.199) for ports

• (WRT54G) I need to set it up so that I get the same IP all the time for 1 computer on my network.

  I have 4 computer I have linked to the WRT54G. 2 2 with network cables and wireless. One of these computers I use as a server and I would get the same IP address to the server all the time. As 192.168.1.150. Now it depends on when I turn on my computer what IP they get. Is there a way to get a static IP address?

• E1505 with Vista operating system repeatedly lose the connection network through a router WRT54G

  Model: Dell E1505

  OS: Vista Edition Home Premium

  Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5300, 1.73 GHz

  Device of wireless network: Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini Card

  Wireless router: Linksys WRT54G

  My E1505 has a problem with the Wi - Fi being dropped at least twice a day / every day with an average of seven hours of use per day.  Almost identical to several offers from others, as I'm surfing the web and try to access another site, the connection just drops and I get the white screen indicating a network connection cannot be made.  Meanwhile, my utility for wireless LAN card reflects that I have a connection 'very strong' or even 'excellent '.  The only way to connect is to restart the computer.  I did a lot of research on the Internet and tried all the suggested actions to solve the problem (changing the settings of the power of the highest performance, by changing the channel of the router, updated drivers, etc.), but none of them have cured the problem.  I also spent more than 12 hours to talk or have a Dell technician remotely access my laptop to try and fix the problem, but nothing helped.  In the end, the so-called expert technician said they did everything possible and suggested I reload Vista on my computer again, or wait for the Vista Service Pack comes out with the hope that the problem is solved.

  Can someone please! It seems that I left without other alternatives, but to spend the next eight hours, reload all my programs that are inexcusable.

• Extremely slow WRT54G navigation pages @ 192.168.1.1 - this could be a problem with network card?

  Friend of mine is having the problems of Internet connection on his main PC which is hard wired to the router, it is using Comcast cable (18Mbit) and all of a sudden today the speed fell to dialup speeds, literally, however its ONLY this main with the issue of speed pc, there are 2 other computers connected wirelessly to the router, and they run at full speed during the test on speedtest.net

  Solve the problem, I tried bypassing the router and still have the issue of speed, so I can pretty much rule out the router, but as part of my troubleshooting whenever I try to access the router configuration pages via 192.168.1.1 but it is VERY slow to respond.

  For example when hitting enter after typing 192.168.1.1 it takes about 45 seconds to view the router configuration page, and then clicking on any other tabs takes 30-45 seconds longer to respond.

  So my main question with this post, is it possible that its network card went bad? What would cause really slow access to the configuration of the router?

  The PC is under Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit and Ive tried to run the network troubleshooter, uninstalled the network card in Device Manager / reinstalled the drivers but nothing seems to work.

  I also ran Malware Bytes and the analytical results were clean.

  Any ideas appreciated!

  can you 'borrow' a card? This is the only way to be sure, eliminating hours of trial and error procedures. one of the mega electronic stores is a good source, if it solves your problem you keep the card, otherwise there is the option to return
