• Can I use a WAG354G as access point

  I have a cable modem and a wired router. I also have a spare WAG354G when I had normal ADSL. Can I replace the router with the WAG and just use the other 3 ethernet ports and wireless so just use it as an access point? If so what settings do I or do I have to buy a dedicated router ap instead? TIA

  No you can not use this router as an AP with your Modem cable.

• using the wrt54G as access point WiFi for iPod

  The WRT is configured in Bridge mode and all can see the Internet, but the iPod can not see the PC, unless they are connected on the subnet of the router.

  I think that in this configuration the WRT does DHCP and creates a subnet and then NAT for them to get access to the outside. So the inside can out, but outside may not participate. This means that the applications hosted on the PC iPod cannot interact with the WiFi iPod.

  I want the WRT to act as a bridge and be transparent to the local network & PCs.

  This seems to be a simple installation, but I couldn't sort through the DMZ, router, and help the other possible approaches?

  The answer is 'no '. As far as Linksys are concerned, a router is a router and an access point is an access point, it is because they have two very different functions.

• WRT600N advanced routing problems / use as Access Point and switch

  Firmware 1.01.36 build 4 The WRT600N is connected to an existing LAN and is really only used as a Wireless N access point. There is nothing plugged into the WAN port; only the LAN port. I have NAT disabled. All traffic from a client connected to the WRT600N wireless going very well for the gateway and the Internet router. The customer experience is very good. However, there are a few minor issues as follows.

  1] Setup > Advanced Routing tab has only the following options; to do this, * not * have a picker 'Mode '. NAT, static routing and dynamic routing (RIP).    IS this NORMAL, OR should HAVE a MODE (e.g. switch) AS REFERRED to IN THE HELP FILES?

  [2] even if a connection wireless or wired to the WRT600N works very well, the WRT600N himself is unable to connect to the internet. It cannot connect to NTP to set the time and I can't ping past the gateway router using the ping of the WRT600N diagnostic utility. I ping the gateway 192.168.1.4 port inside, but I can't use the diagnostic the WRT600N ping ping utility something beyond this gateway port. The routing of the WRT600N table is below. THE GATEWAY SHOULD NOT BE 192/168.1.4? HOWEVER THE WRT600N DON'T ME LETS NOT CHANGE IT.

  Destination LAN IP Subnet Mask gateway interface

  192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.71 LAN & Wireless

  127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 * LAN & Wireless

  Topic 1. Linksys, used to have a mode option to switch between the modes 'Bridge' and 'router '. The latest routers call it now better NAT power. Gateway mode means THAT NAT is enabled. Router mode means THAT NAT is disabled. The help files are probably a little bit over. But the option is still the same.

  Re 2. It's normal if you use it as only access point (i.e. do not use the WAN port). The router always takes into account that the internet connection via the WAN port, i.e. it will always use the default gateway on the WAN port. If nothing is connected to the WAN port on the router itself has no default gateway and therefore has no access to the internet. Generally, you are not able to establish the default route in either advanced routing page. It is a known limit of these routers if you do not use as a router.

• Can I use my WRT160N V1 as a signal booster/access point?

  I have a router Linksys WRT160N I want to use it as an access point for the devices in my basement. The main modem is a century link PK5001A. How could I go to set it up?

  Yes cascade would be wired AP.

  If you mean you want to change the WRT in a wireless Repeater that is different. In this case, you are lucky DD - WRT is compatible with V1.

  http://www.DD-WRT.com/site/support/router-database

  Change the firmware for this 3rd part and configure the WRT as wireless Repeater. It is not easy to config but there is a lot of documentation for DD - WRT.

• WAP54G Access Point using wireless mode, but not worked. :(

  I bought today WAP54G.
  My son and I have PC but we distance between our room each other and
  wireless signal is not strong enough sometimes.
  My son has wired Internet w / WRT54GS router and I have wireless
  USB G adapter to my room.
  Cat w / Linksys rep, the other day and he recommended buying WAP54G and I could leave this AP @ salon and do not need to have the connection cable.

  Anyway, I don't know how to install this customer service, called today
  and she told me that I need to install the CD in my computer. But there is no
  connection by cable or router and I cannot install CD in my computer.
  So, I installed the CD in the PC of my son who has wired Internet and
  router. The installation has been completed.
  After the installation, turn off AP and move on to the living room.
  Then, there is no "link" light on. Lamp only Power and act on.

  Tried chat w / online but offline and it is really difficult to chat w /.
  them.

  Please let me know:
  1. can I use this without wired access point?
  I would like to implement the AP @ living room (between my son and my room)
  2. which PC do I need to install CD? But once again, my PC have no cable
  connection and cannot install the CD.

  I am very beginner wireless and PC so please tell me step by step.
  I read manual and I used the installation CD Wizard but still do not work.

  Please someone help me.

  I think that you must configure your AP as Repeater wireless... Follow the link here , make sure that when you set your Access Point to the "Wireless Repeater" mode, this device will communicate only with a different Access Point Linksys (WAP54G) and wireless G of Linksys (WRT54G) router...

• Latest drivers Atheros does not help with hotspot WiFi (or access point)?

  I updated the drivers from v7.7.0.288.0. It's the latest and probably the last pilot found in archive of drivers for the A200 support.

  I set up my WiFi Atheros in usual manner of Vista. The steps are described in most PC portals for the creation of an access point WiFi in Windows Vista.

  1 Control Panel
  2 network connections and sharing
  3. ad-hoc creation, the SSID, password etc.
  4. share the internet connection button.
  5 allow to other users on the network to use my internet
  6 access point is created and Windows indicates that the signal is "Excellent".

  Everything is simple and straightforward but my Android smartphones don't detect access point.
  So what is the fault?

  Driver details dated 03/09/2009 in the Page of Support Toshiba informed that the update of the wireless Lan driver is to 'connect to your wireless access Point or to another PC wireless using your wireless network card.

  I tried other portals Windows but all of them describe the same steps by creating ad hoc to access Windows Vista point.

  Any help is appreciated.

• 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.

• I can't configure WAG120N as access point

  Dear all please help I bought a WAG120N but I'm not ready to use as modem router instead, I intend to use it as an access point. Please give me the steps to do so. Cordially Parag

  Hi parag_ca. Apart from the suggestion of chadster766 to connect devices in a LAN to LAN configuration (where you need to connect the Ethernet cable from the main modem to one of the 4 regular ports on the router), you can also follow the LAN WAN procedure so that you always get to plug the ethernet cable from the main modem to the WAN or Internet the WAG120N port. Just change the local IP address of the router 192.168.2.1 to avoid IP conflicts.

• Subnet routed on the main gateway of the WiFi Access Point

  Hello people.

  I have the wireless router WAG200G. It sports a RJ-11 input and a four port RJ-45, while it is compatible 802.11 g.

  I need to use it as an Access Point, WiFi via DHCP clients accommodation in its own range (I fear not the 192.168.1.x default range). However, I need to give this subnet, access the internet via my main network which has another Beach, say 10.0.0.x, where the entry door is 10.0.0.2

  I tried the subnet routing WiFi to my front door, but apparently I'm missing something I ever managed :-)

  For those wishing to help could you please tell me through this page http://ui.linksys.com/files/WAG200G/1.00.09/Setup_routing.htm ?

  FYI, I got the Linksys in my network off main application everywhere (Linksys & PCs) static IP, nat and affecting encapsulation Bridged Mode only. That's how it worked, but for security reasons, I need to isolate this subnet WiFi.

  Any kind of help would be appreciated.

  If you used the WAG as point of access only with standard Linksys firmware, then you cannot use the DHCP server. The WAG will always assign its own IP address as the gateway via the DHCP server. The only option would be to use the DHCP relay function or set another DHCP server.

  As long as the WAG is connected through a LAN port to your existing network you connected side full LAN of the WAG in your network. You don't want to run any DHCP server on the WAG. Your main router provide DHCP service. If your wireless devices have trouble getting an IP address from your main router, which should be the first thing to solve...

• How to force the client to connect to the specific access point?

  I have a client that connects to an Access Point to the upper floor.  The connection is "Very low" and pings are restless.  Is there a way to force the client to connect to the point of access on its own soil in the hallway.

  Access Points using 1131AG; WLC2106

  PSK + WPA2

  Thank you

  There is not a way to force the client to use a specific side access point controller of things.  According to the specifications, the client decides when and where to associate.  You can try to disable some of the rates below data or lower power tx of the AP to reduce the coverage of each access point cell.  By doing this, the client cannot see the other as favourable AP.

  First sorry for my bad English... I am from france, a there is no support for blackberry here.

  Yesterday, I configured my 9320 curve to use as a wifi access point. He made the word perfectly until this morning. As stated in the user manual, it just disconnected while beeing does not use for several minutes.

  In the middle of the day, every thing about "access point" disapered my place, even in the 'connection '... options

  Could someone help me?

  Thank you!

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  The first thing to do is to contact your mobile service provider... maybe they did something for this block to run on your device.

  Good luck!

• A WRT160N V3 can be used as wireless access point.

  I have an AT & T's broadband router.  A WRT160N is connected, so I now have Wireless N capabilities.  I have a second WRT160N I want to put in my living room as a point of access, so I can connect my BluRay player and video stream.  How can I configure the second WRT160N as access point?

  Thank you in advance,

  Andrew

  Topic 1. Yes, you can use your second WRT and put in place as a second access point to your network. First of all, unplug the second WRT to your network and wire a computer in one of its LAN ports. Open the web interface at http://192.168.1.1/ on the main configuration page, change the address LAN IP of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2 and disable the DHCP server. Save the settings. Unplug the computer and connect the cable to the first router on one of the second router's LAN ports. Do not use the internet port of the second router! Now you can use the wireless access point in the second router as access point additional for your network.

  For a wireless roaming the two Wrds with identical wireless settings (SSID, wireless security, etc.) and don't forget to enable the SSID broadcast. Only the channel assignments should be different. Different channels spaced at least 5 avoids duplication of canals. Now your laptop can connect to your network via either WRT and internet through the first WRT. It must also be able to move between the two Wrds without losing the connection.

  Re 2. Because the WRT160N has only the ethernet 10/100 ports a CAT5e cable should do. Of course, you can consider getting a better cable, for example a cat6 for future enhancements to your network. It depends on how much effort it is necessary to replace the cable later if you decide to go for gigabit ethernet on your local network.

• Using a WRT54G as access Wi - Fi point with a gateway WRT610N router

  I just replaced my gateway WRT54G with a WRT610N router and all is well.  However, I would like to know if it is possible for me to use the old WRT54G as a bridge to access point / wireless on a different floor to the catwalk... Here I want the WRT54G connect Wireless as a router to router WRT610N bridge (not the cables on the LAN ports) and then I want to use its LAN ports on the WRT54G to wired local devices rather than use it as a wireless extension. I read several post, but most seem to suggest the wiring between the routers.

  With the Linksys firmware: No. Is not possible. A Linksys wireless router will no longer work as bridge. It connect wireless to other devices. You need to run a cable

  With the 3rd party firmware like dd - wrt or tomato: you can configure the router as a repeater or wireless gateway. Please check the documentation of the 3rd firmware part to see if your router model and version is compatible. Remember, that a bridge or a Repeater with the WRT54G will slow down your entire wireless network.

• Do I need an additional access point to use my iPod touch for audio books? It's using iOS 9.3

  Do I need an additional access point to use my iPod touch to listen to audio books.  The iPod is on iOS 9.3 and my iMac on OS 10.11.4.  I can get the books from the library using the OverDrive Media Console software, then by moving the iTunes audio book using 'add to library '.  Then, it presents itself in music and can be downloaded from there to the iPod.  The audio book also appear in the section music from iPod.  The problem is, most of the time, no list of book sections appear on the iPod and the iPod plays sections in random order instead of sequentially.  I can't find anything in the guide of the user on audio books.

  Can you import into your application iBooks on Mac and then sync it with your iPod?
