Transform an E4200 into a wireless access Point

I have access to broadband internet in 1 room of my house. The internet through a router, I put in place, it has a Linksys WRT54G2 (#1 router), Firmware version 1.0.04)is. Everything on it works fine, I can do my TV and a laptop in another room to access the router wireless without any problem.

In another room, I have a regular desktop computer that I would like to get the internet. As well as other devices, so I bought another router, this time a Linksys E4200 (#2 router) hoping to turn into a point of access.

Now, I put up of LAN in the past, using the existing cable plugged into the router second problem is, in this scenario, I can not run a cable to the Router #2. Two computers use Windows 7. The drivers and the firmware on the router have been updated on the Linksys page, all my drivers are updated, etc.

If someone can provide a basic step by step on how to set up, I really appreciate it. For the record, I checked other forums for similar questions and even if there is, they date back to 2009 as well as Google which has some sites dating back to 2006! While useful, I could not find anything that details how to solve my problem with my specific configuration.

Thanks again in advance.

P.S. I already went into the #2 router and changed the IP Address of the router to 192.168.1.2 and also turned off DHCP, problem is, once I remove this router in the other room, it does not connect to the main network or allow devices able to 'see' Router #2. It is as if it does not yet exist. Help!  In addition, if there is an another router that you recommend for this task, I can always share this one as well. Thank you!

  • Use WAN connected airport Time Capsule as a wireless access point

    I had to replace a failed 4 Gen Time Capsule. I tried to install a new Gen 5 airport TimeCapsule via WAN and set up the airport to act as a wireless access point. It is installed in an area of my house with wireless coverage. In the network of AirPort Utility Mode section, I chose "extend a wireless network. The TC is restarted, I get an error message cannot find the intended wireless network.

    What I lack?

    "Extend a wireless network" is a parameter that is only used if the time Capsule need to connect to another router from Apple with the help of a Wi-Fi connection.

    You use Ethernet to connect, you must use the parameter to "create a wireless network. Use the same wireless network name and the same password as your "primary" router

    Hello

    To connect the laptop to the WLan, it must ensure that everything is enabled and configured correctly.
    You should check these points:

    -activated the WLan with the WLan switch and the FN + F8
    -don t use any 3rd party config tools WLan if you use the WLan configuration options own Vista
    -for the first test WLan disable the security settings of the Wlan router
    -configure settings to laptop as good SSID and search for your wireless local area network
    -After that the laptop is connected to the WLan router, you can turn back the security settings (encryption, mac address filtering, firewall, etc.)

  • Card wireless INTEL PRO 2200 BG - don't find any wireless access point

    I just try to run internet with the internal PRO INTEL BG 2200 wireless card.
    The driver version is just updated to 9.0.4.39. The problem is, I can't find any wireless access point.

    I also use a D-Link card, with this card, I found the available access points. What could be the problem with the INTEL PRO card. I'm sitting right next to the router/hub.

    Also, I thought that I might need to activate the wireless with additional keys Fn function, but they do not work, I guess. Maybe I need a driver for this tool also. Do anyone know where I can find drivers to use the Fn keys?

    My system:
    TOSHIBA Tecra
    WINDOWS XP (SP 3)

    See also: The INTEL internet LAN works.

    > What could be the problem with the INTEL PRO card. I'm sitting right next to the router/hub.

    For me, it seems that the WiFi network is not enabled.
    Usually, you need to activate the WLan switch which is placed on the side of the laptop. Then, you'd see an active WLan led.
    If you n t see the light, then the WiFi network has not been activated.

    In addition, choose the WLAN using FN + F8!
    You can also activate the Wlan in Device Manager-> card Wlan-> properties-> Advanced tab.

  • 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.

  • The WRT600N can connect to a wireless access point?

    I installed Windows 7 on my desktop and I was not able to install all types of Linksys wireless adapters.  I decided that linking an my WRT600N wireless access point in the other room and hardwireing the office to the access point, would be a good idea.  I'm probably going to connect it to a Net WTG624 Gear, which is capable of acting as an access point and you connect to another router.  The question is, can the WRT600N you connect to and use the internet and the local access and, ultimately, on the Office of cable?  I feel that it is one of the most stupid questions, I ask myself here again, but I'm not sure.

    EDIT: I'm sure it's called Wireless Bridge.

    Thank you

    Zach

    Hello Zach,

    The WRT600N can connect at the point of access, and vice-versa. I have a WRT600N home and have the same model of NetGear as access point (what are the chances?) and it works fine, although I do miss the 5 GHz as the Access Point is only 2.4 Ghz 802.11 g Standard.

    I hope this helps!

  • Beginner needs help with Aironet 1131 G Wireless Access Point

    I have a new Cisco Aironet 1131 G wireless access point.  It takes an IP address and I can ping this address.  However, I can't access it via the graphical user interface based on the web or the CLI.  I preformed reset.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I can't access that means? you are not able to go to the CONFIG T of the CLI prompt? and if you are in the same subnet as the AP, are you not able to open to the top of the GUI? If you are not able to then, with the command 'show version' on the AP CLI and see if your image is "RCVKW8". If so you will need to convert the same IOS using the method below.

  • After running Thinkvantage System Update, unable to connect the wireless access point

    I've recently performed Thinkvantage System update for updating various programs/drivers on my T61p.  I've updated the V5.12 access connections.  In addition to this I was required to update driver V1.52 power management and functionality of the shortcut key for

    V2.10.0002 (two of them were the most recent available).

    After these updates, I can connect is no longer to any access point wireless that worked before this update.  I have tried to reinstall earlier versions of Access Connections, but still couldn't connect to wireless access points.

    ANY help would be appreciated.

    OK, problem solved.  I found that when I ran last weekend system update downloaded and installed an incorrect driver for my wireless hardware.  I installed the correct driver and now the connection to a wireless access point works.

    Certainly, I don't understand how/why not update system would be to download and install an incorrect driver.  VERY FRUSTRANT and TEDIOUS!

  • Set up the wireless access point, but the wireless devices are unable to get ip address

    Hi, I wanted to put my D7000 as router AP. My main router is Sagemcom F@st 3864 by Optus ISP (Australia).

    First of all, I put the D7000 in Bridge mode I did these steps:

    1. replace the IP LAN 192.168.0.100

    2 disable DHCP

    3. connect the LAN port to the main router Lan port

    Internet connection wired and wireless on the same device but other wireless devices has failed

    To remedy this, I made another choice, allowing point-to-point wireless access in the advanced settings of the D7000. I followed the instructions from this link

    No idea how to fix wireless? I'm not very experienced

    Thank you!

    I just fixed it just now. For AP mode, connect the LAN port of the main router to the WAN port on the D7000 (not LAN to LAN). I wish I thought to it much sooner.

  • Changing the E3200 as wireless access point

  • Wireless access point / bridge

    -Very well, please excuse my confusion / ignorance.

    I have two Linksys E3200 - connected to the network; a sequence of switch, firewall, internet, Server master.

    The issue and the need is how would I go to do a single wireless network?

    Would it be a main router and the second access point first? Is that my vocabulary is not what it should be, a bridge?  And if I'm not mistaken, the Linksys E3200 does not support the option to 'bridge', Yes?

    Our COMPUTER technician has set up routers to imitate each other, but we had some problems with them and he is out of town.

    Your help would be very helpful.

    Just so that we are on the same page - what I'm trying to do?
    A single network WiFi - two Linksys E3200 running - for example:

    • John Smith walks the coast East of the building, to the West.
    • John is assigned an address IP of ROUTER1 (East side), and John walks constantly the same address IP ROUTER2 arriving (West side).
    • No signal, no renewed address, same pattern drop.

    Thank you

    Update the firmware on the E3200 and see if there is bridge mode. If it isn't, use cascade of LAN to LAN.
