Use WAG54G2 as a router.

I want to use WAG54G2 as a simple router. I happen to have 2 of them. If I can make one of these work as a wired router via ethernet cable or even wireless I can save money on the router. Is this possible?

You don't need to change the settings under advanced routing that you use the type of LAN to LAN connection.

Change the IP address of the router and disable the DHCP server on the second router. Connect the cable of the first router to the Ethernet port on the second router.

  • Network configuration of Roaming Wifi problem I just bought an Airport Extreme and I intend to use it as my router

    I just bought a refurbished Airport Extreme and I intend to use it as my router & combine with our old time Capsule of existing one to create a roaming Wifi network.

    The new Airport Extreme (renovated) is in my studio/Office - directly connected to our internet broadband wireless (WAN port)

    Our small ethernet is connected to my iMac [mid 2010 running OSX 10.11.5] & a PC and extends up to 2 other domains through an ethernet switch.

    This configuration works very well, our internet speed has improved slightly - better than our old T-Link router bit.  WiFi available throughout the House - better on one side.

    Time Capsule (2 TB) is connected by ethernet on the far side of the House, offer backup Time Machine and strong Wifi to this area.

    This time Capsule was an existing installation that went perfectly with the T-Link before I bought the Airport Extreme.

    I used the Airport utility to set everything up and it seems to work.

    The problem is:

    Combines the Capsule and extreme connected & active, the Internet gradually slows down and grinds to stop. -Wifi seems to follow suit, but is much more gradual.

    If I disable the Time Capsule, the internet connection is back to normal, Airport Extreme Wifi signal is strong and extends to almost all areas.

    I got to the departure of the two units configuration problems, so I reset both factory default and from that moment managed to do all this work - with the exception that the internet connection slows down.  Whenever I visit a different web site, it takes more time to load/link upward.

    I spoke with our ISP, the link to our tower is solid. The technology suggested that I put Wifi on each unit to use a different channel (2 frequencies & several channels each available).

    So far, this has not resolved the problem, I will continue to make adjustments.

    I googled this - most of the answers are not to date - usually 2012, 13, 14. and not directly related to my situation.  But I will continue my search.

    I'd appreciate if anyone here has any suggestions

    The new Airport Extreme (renovated) is in my studio/Office - directly connected to our internet broadband wireless (WAN port)

    What is the number and the model of the modem or modem/router that your ISP has provided you?

    Should we assume that you use a Mac with the help of a current or recent operating system?

    If you get out of the Capsule of time and leaves disabled for now, the network AirPort Extreme continue to run at full speed for a few hours and not slow down?

    We ask these questions because we must first confirm that the AirPort Extreme works properly until we can begin to troubleshoot the connection to Time Capsule.

  • HP deskjet 2540: stop page print quality and 'use printer wireless without router' printing

    After installing the hp deskjet printer 2540, all operating systems (vista, windows, mac os, windows 8) correctly printed.

    I would like to prevent the printing of print quality page whenever the printer is on and to prevent print also the page "use printer wireless without router" (it would be better not to waste the ink).

    Thanks for any help you can provide

    Hi there @lesart55.

    Welcome to the HP community!

    I have seen your post on how your Deskjet 2540 prints a page of print quality every time that the printer is on, and also the page "use printer wireless without router" is printing.

    I'll start with the PQ page that prints at the start of the printer, as it is normally a sign of a hardware problem with the printer.

    Try to update the firmware on the printer. Here is the link to download and run the update using a USB connection to your Vista system: HP Deskjet 2540 series Firmware update

    Try a reset of the power to the printer and make sure the printer is plugged directly into the wall, avoiding bars power and surge protectors. This ensures that the printer is full on and can help greatly.

    Press the power button to turn the product on.
    With the product, unplug the power cord from the back of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the back of the product.
    If the product does not light by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.

    If the PQ page always print after you are done troubleshooting, try the steps outlined in this guide below. I looked at the steps that I see would take place in the tent for your specific problem and chose the steps following, Please do not take account of the actual title.

    An "Incompatible cartridge or"Missing cartridge"Error Message is displayed for HP Deskjet 1510, 2540 Deskjet, HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 1510 and Deskjet Ink Advantage 2540 all-in-One Series Printer"

    I hope that the problem has been cleared up for you at this stage. If this isn't the case, please call us directly to discuss your options of the printer!

  • Can I use the Time Capsule wireless for multiple computers without using it as a router?

    I am looking for an external backup for 2 computers drive.  I have a desktop iMac and MacBook Air.  I like the idea of being able to back up my MacBook Air wireless, but I need to make sure that it will work the way I need to.

    I already have a wireless router that works well for me, I don't need the time Capsule to act as a router. I'm just needing a wireless backup drive.  So, the question is, can I use the only time Capsule as a storage device for backup of wifi or do I also have to use it as a wifi router?  My fear is that the router service is not as good as the router, I currently have.  I live in a big House of 2 floors, making it very difficult to receive a strong signal throughout the House.

    can I use time Capsule only as a backup wireless storage device or do I also have to use it as a wifi router?

    Time Capsule need to connect to your router/modem existing using wired Ethernet wired, permanent.

    If you plan to use the time Capsule to back up your Mac with the help of the application Time Machine on every Mac, the Mac will have to save on the wireless signal Time Capsule for the process to be officially supported by Apple.

    While it is possible to turn off wireless on the Time Capsule and try to save it to your existing wireless network... and it pourrait work... but there will be no Apple support backup problems... so it would be a good idea to plan to use Time Capsule wireless backup purposes.

  • How can I configure my Airport Extreme in Bridge mode (use the 3rd party router)?

    Data sheet:

    Airport Extreme - v 7.7.7

    Luma Surround Wifi 8

    I recently bought a wifi (luminance) surround system.  It comes with 3 routers that you place around your home.  Unfortunately I still have stains died in my house I'm looking to add my Airport Extreme (AE) to Luma network.  Is it as simple as plug the AE to the network (via Ethernet) and the bridge mode selection in the configuration of EI?

    I can see the AE of my iMac, and it is green.  How do you know that actually extend the wifi of my router Luma range?

    I searched the forum and all messages dealing with this are several years old.

    Thanks for your time...

    Basically, you want to create a mobile network with your Luma and AirPort Extreme routers. As you said, the extreme would need to be connected to the luminance by Ethernet and reconfigured as a bridge.

    In addition, the following are also required on the extreme:

    • Wireless mode: create a wireless network
    • The network name must be the same as that used by the Luma.
    • The type of wireless security and the password must match that of the luminance as well.

    To 'know' that the extreme extends the network of Luma, simply consult the BSSID value in the drop-down of OS X Wi - Fi. It must match the ID of the airport on your base station. Note: You must hold down the option key before clicking on the icon of the free Wi - Fi connection.

  • can I use firmware on my router to ver ver.2. 1 wrt610n

    under download and drivers in worm 1 ther is only this

    Ver.2.00.00.05

    Can I use it for my wrt router worm. 1

    The important thing is that you select the correct hardware of your router version. If you have a WRT610Nv1 (aka it shows only "WRT610N" on the label on the bottom), then you must select v1.

    The firmware version is independent of the hardware version. The hardware version defines version of the material as they sometimes change the material within a model.

    The version of the firmware sets the version number of the software running on the router. In your case the Ver.2.00.00.05 is the latest for your WRT610Nv1.

    (In fact, it seems as if the material of the WRT610Nv1 and the WRT610Nv2 uses the same firmware, that is, even if the hardware has changed slightly they can both use the same firmware.) But of course always select the v1 on the support page to ensure that you get the right firmware...)

  • Cannot check the Internet using my WRT54G2 V1 router.

    I have Blue Ridge cable Internet.

    I can connect to the internet perfectly by directly connecting the cord to this laptop that I am.

    I ran the CD for my WRT54G2 V1 router, and at the end of the installation it says my router is configured, but he said that it was not connected to the internet.

    I tried several times to fix this in troubleshooting, but none of them worked.

    I DID however just simply disconnect and reconnect the router after about 10 attempts and I've been on the internet for about 20 seconds. (I looked for something on google and found research.) But internet is turned off and it just says "Local".

    I want to connect to the internet using this router and thus be able to connect the members of my family with their laptops through this router.

    Thank you.

  • Just installed PhotoSmart 6520E printer set up to use the cable Moden router kills any signal

    Just bought a Photosmart 6520 to replace my C310 that all black cartridges, which went wrong (short circuit out) or ink jet which is now in thing instead of Cartridgestopped so bad.

    After you have installed the appropriate driver and software. The printer wifi kills all router built in cable signals.

    Fortunately, I have another older router that I have used with the C310, signal to fall.

    This software is causing the issue?

    Mac OSX.9.4 (mavericks)

    6520 V2 Driver

    The latest HP software.

    I though that I would answer my own question since no one elese has an idea. Or indifferent to the issue.

    Last close after I stop computer to sleep. I went to set up the printer and change the used the old router that is connected to the wan port on the model cable Comcast.

    On this morning, everything works perfectly until now.

    I guess that the printer works on the same channel the router built into the modem and has been the substitution of any signal from the routrr built into the Modem.

    Anyone having this problem if you use Comcast is to buy a separate router attached to the modem for the printer to work and the connection as well.

  • Using Cisco AP as router and DHCP server

    I'm a newbie in the technology of Cisco wireless. I have a lot of Cisco wireless access point. One of them (1142AG-K9 Cisco) I want to set them up as a DHCP server and will forward traffic to the public ip address as it will route the traffic to 203.82.203.50 (Ip provided by ISP) and will lease ip as associated devices 192.168.10.0 pool.

    Even though I know that it is possible using a router on the AP. But it is possible using a single access point?

    If so, how?

    Help, please.

    Hi, the AP cisco are just basic layer 2 devices such as a hub or Layer 2 switch, it does not any layer 3 as a wireless router.

    The Cisco access point supports to have a VLAN or subnet configured or more VLANS or subnets and will pass all traffic to a layer 3 devic so that traffic can be routed to the need.

    The Ap can't stand to have an addrees ip configured on the bvi1 for the management.

    Also the build in the ap dhcp option is very limited and will only know the ip address to wirless clints that connect to it on an ssid linked to its management interface in this case that the bvi1 and all them VLAN othe or subnets shall not use an external dhcp server.
