Reclassification of BEFW11S4 to WRT54G

Hello...

I have a router BEFW11S4 (Version 4).  Because I have received no response here on my problems with the card Intel WIFI Link 5100 AGN, I plan to migrate to the WRT54G (at least, I'm * fairly * assure that this is the model I) because I was told by someone else who has a similar setup to mine THE router worked correctly with the adapter.

My question: migration of the 'old' to the 'new' router router, are there specific problems that should I worry about the?

Thank you!

Just to let everyone know.

I found that I was able to set the security on the router WRT54G wireless settings

WPA2 Personal AND then I put the ThinkVantage Access Connections to WPA2 and everything

seems to work very well (I'm typing this while on the wireless).

I'm assuming that the dial-up Connections supports WPA2 on Windows XP even though I

do not upgrade to SP3, nor have I sought the "patch" WPA2 Windows.

At this point, I want to thank everyone for their help and comments.

Current configuration:

Router: WRT54G

Control the laptop (connected via an Ethernet cable): ThinkPad R52 running Windows XP SP2

Security settings for the router:

Disabled SSID broadcast

WPA2 with AES for password security

MAC address filtering.

Portable receiver:

ThinkPad W500 Windows XP SP2

Using Access Connections Version 5.20 (latest version) set to use WPA2 and AES for the password

  • Replace BEFW11S4, WRT54G

    Where can I find instructions for replacing an existing one with a new WRT54G LinkSys Router?  EasyLink is not cooperating.

    I need to replace my old BEFW11S4 with my new WRT54G, but EasyLink does not detect S 11, 4 - he advises just insert me the 54G between my PC and the cable Modem.  I first tried to replace S 11, 4 by the 54G, but EasyLink then reports an interruption of the Internet [duh].  I then tried to insert the 54G on each side of the of the 11S 4 [assuming that I could possibly figure out how to tear the S 11, 4], but EasyLink does not detect the 54G on each side of the S 11, 4.

  • Need help with a WRT54GS and a BEFW11S4

    I need a setting of assistance until a bridge (I guess that's what it would be called.)   The WRT54GS is connected to the Modem and sends wireless signals, but the BEFW11S4 will not find the signal wireless of the WRT.

    I tried to use the WRT without a bridge but after talking with Linksys, they said that the area that I'm trying to get a wireless signal is a Deadspot in the House.  What I wanted to do with the 2 units I have so it's pass down wireless signal to the BEFW then I could connect the laptop via Ethernet and an Xbox similarly.

    Is this possible and can someone give me advice on how this should be done.  I'm pretty knowledgeable when it comes to the computer, but this is a first for me and throw me a loop for.

    You can't connect two Linksys wireless router, they will communicate only when it is connected with all ethernet cables...

  • No reclassification of WRT54G to E3000 no access of local working group

    I'm trying to upgrade my WRT54G to the E3000.

    1 run the installer and all PCs (XP, Vista, W7), TV, TiVo can access the wired Internet or wireless with no problems.

    2. when I try and 'see the workgroup computers' it fails with the "workgroup is not accessible. You may not be authorized, path not found network"(it's the XP error, error Vista is slightly different)

    3. all PC's are pings

    4. I can access using network drives mapped previously or previously shortcuts other shared files installation PC.

    5. anyway I try and see computers on the network, it fails.

    Reconnect the WRT54G and everything works again. I tried the installer twice (after reset the router)

    I also disabled firewall.

    Here's what I did to finally solve the problem. What I read online Linksys is not very useful on this problem that many people have.

    First, I replaced my 54G with a 2 54 I had. PC acknowledged that the router was new and replace the network. All PCs were still on the workgroup 'WORKGROUP' and all the actions of PC can be found and were available as before.

    Then I reconnected it my E3000 and before PC and actions were not accessible.

    Working Group was still "WORKGROUP." Then I changed the Working Group of each PC with a new name, and after the restart, all PC actions are available. No change in the area of trust or any other changes to Norton.

    Only change required was to change all the readers of PC and network under a new name of working group.

    Clearly a problem with the E3000.

  • BEFW11S4 update to?

    Hi all

    I have a BEFW11S4 at home and I want to move to something that can manage the 802.11 g and has more than WEP encryption. Linksys seems to have 1 million of routers that do this. Looks like there's the WRT54G, WRT54GS, WRT54GL and WRT54G2. Anyone know where I could find an online comparison of these? I want pretty much the same features. Some routers have a DMZ port, which might be nice. Some have a dynamic DNS server, which I guess just passes the internal clients DNS queries to the DNS server of your ISP.

    So if anyone can help me, that would be helpful.

    All of the routers you mentioned support the DMZ port option.  The router does not have "access" to this effect; However, when the DMZ option is turned on (this is done in the firmware), became one of the 4 ports of the router LAN the DMZ port.

    All of the routers you mentioned supports a DNS proxy server (192.168.1.1).  The DNS proxy server works as you described.  Generally, computers can easily use this proxy DNS server.  Some specialized hardware, such as video cameras, have had problems with the DNS proxy server, and in this case, the user must enter their real DNS server address in the camcorder.

    For more information on routers that you talked about, go to Wikipedia.org, then look for the WRT54G.  You will find information on all of these routers.  Usually, I recommend the WRT54GL because it has more RAM and Flash memory than most routers, and is also the best firmware supported third-party (such as dd - wrt), in case you need never this option.

  • No problem of reclassification of Maverick in El Capitan

    Must what members experience reclassification of Mavericks at El Capitan? It is worth?

    Reclassification of Mavericks in El Capitan, this isn't a problem. Whether or not it is worth depends on what you like and if you need the features provided by El Capitan, which is not provided by the Mavericks.

    However, make sure that your applications are compatible. At least 4Gig memory. If you intend to continue using iPhoto, make sure that you update to the latest version 9.6.1.

    IF you have another disk, you might install on test and try it first. It is perhaps the best way to go.

    Anyway, have a good Time Machine backup in case you want to restore.

    Thanks for your reply but I've solved the upgrade Viata HP to W7 HP Viata in Spanish. Took a lot of effort but is workig now. My major concern is on the regional setting: my country is Venezuela and this is probably the only country that is missing from the long long list so I now have problems in the keyboard language and the motto puntuation. This has nothing to do with the Home Premium edition or full, I think it's just an incredible mistake. How can this be repaired? MS will have remedies this problem and probably to publish an update to fix this problem. Thank you again and hope that this question goes to MS. looks.

  • I am unable to connect to the Linksys WRT54G Router with wired connection to Office XP.

    My two laptops (XP and a Win7) will be connected to the router wireless and wired (ethernet). When it is plugged directly into the DSL modem, the Office connects and works very well. This problem started when I had to replace the DSL modem.

    I inherited this problem for my elderly mother... and it all started because they gave me the router password wrong, who now works (router has been reset) on two laptops, but when connected, the Office doesn't even show a light of connection on the router except during startup. I no longer get a window of logon passwork for the router, and I am unable to connect/ping the router in the office. (192.168.1.1)

    I would like to clarify a few things.

    1. two laptops work fine with cable connections and wireless through the WRT54G.

    2 desktop PC, which has only a wired connection, does not connect successfully.

    3. the symptoms of the failure of the desktop connection to are that the link on the router at the start light flashes during initialization of the PC but then will Dim.

    4. when the desktop PC trying to connect to the internet, it fails.

    5 when the desktop PC try to connect to the administration WRT54g page it fails.

    6. when the desktop computer try PIING the router at 192.168.1.1 IP address it fails.

    These points are correct?

    Assuming this is correct, open a command prompt and type

    IPCONFIG/ALL

    The output of the command should provide some information about the current state of the network connection.

    It would be useful that you posted this here release.

    The absence of a link light can be your main symptom and may be due to several reasons. He probably has an associate status "media disconnected" in IPCONFIG for the network connection.

    This could be caused by a bad network cable or a network connection disabled in the properties of the network on the PC. Small jets knowing the ot IPCONFIG output is would help more.

    Post this info if you can.

    Good luck

    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.

  • Disable DHCP on WRTU54G behind WRT54G, impossible to get the blue light

    I spent several hours today trying to set up my second router (WRTU54G) behind the first router (WRT54G) with the DHCP offshore on the second router, but blue light don't come. My first router is connected to the modem. There is nothing wrong with the phone service, it works with a LAN WAN Setup on my routers and the blue light comes on. But I'm trying to get everything on my network to answer and turn on sharing, so I'll try the config LAN to LAN on the two routers with DHCP disabled on the second. No blue on light. I also tried the Bridge mode on the second router but that did not work. By browsing these forums, I opened the ports 5060-5061 and 16384-16482 on my first router but I don't know what IP address to assign them. What I'm trying to do is to use my router second, WRTU54G of VOIP, like a switch, but also use it for telephone service. I know that I can just swap the routers and that should work, but y at - it another way?

    Thanks for the reply, but that has not worked for me. But I finally got to work now, after some more googling and play with the settings. I have stuck on the 'Bridge' on the WRTU54G mode but kept the connection between the two routers on LAN to WAN connection. This didn't work at first but after only 20 minutes to leave and the blue light came all my computers are on DHCP IPs the first router too.

  • Using WRT54G as the second wireless with E2500

    Have read the threads on this, I want to make sure I have this correct.

    Currently I use the E2500 as my main router at my house (top).  I replaced my WRT54G with the E2500 to my DSL connection throughout the House.

    I run an ethernet as a hard link at the bottom of my smart TV cable.

    I now add another device (Channel Master DVR +) that it will also take an internet connection.

    I need two connections from an ethernet cable (already run down).  After reading a bit, looks like I can use my old WRT54G as a secondary router/switch down.  (Sorry if I'm not using the correct terms).

    In order to get my two connections (Smart TV and DVR +) I need at least a separator, or something?  However... "Why not extend my lower wireless for a stronger wireless connection down?" was my way of thinking.

    How can I configure my E2500 to recognize the WRT54G - run two difficult connections to my TV and DVR + and also extend a stronger signal wireless downstairs for my daughters iPod Touch?

    Thanks - Glen

    Who did the trick! You Rock! Thank you so much cub for your help and quick of Reid. I may be back later this week when my DVR + gets here but hope not. Thanks again!

  • How to get the IP address Linksys WRT54GS DHCP assigns to a Wi - Fi connection?

    To connect the Linksys WRT54GS to a demonstration of Microchip DV102411 WiFi Comm card I need the IP address assigned by DHCP. The Administration WRT54GS log is enabled, but there is no incoming or outgoing network activity. The DV102411 can see the SSID linsys scanning for wireless networks and attached to it but once attached, I need to know the address IP of the DV102411 has been given by the WRT54GS.

    You can consult the router DHCP client table.

  • 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.
