Using a WRT54G2 as a wireless bridge

I currently have a WRT54GL which works perfectly for years and now I want to create a wireless bridge to my home entertainment section.  I want to connect 2 or 3 devices and so I'm not looking at the WET54G for my solution.

However, it is possible to use the snazzy WRT54G2 - watch as a bridge?  The built-in DHCP server complicate things, or can it simply be disabled?  Are there other technical issues which would prevent or complicate a facility like that?

Thanks for any help or advice you can offer me

You can disable the DHCP on wrt54g2, but you can't use it the way you need, you will connect wrt54g2 to the wrt54gl router by an ethernet cable... In your set, you can't do wrt54g2 communicate wirelessly to wrt54gl...

  • Using the E2000 as a wireless bridge

    After informed that I can not use the AP I bought yesterday as a bridge, I decided to get an another linksys E2000, as the guy in the shop told me that I can throw in for sure bridge mode.

    Now, like I do for the first time, and my English isn't the best, I was not able to find some instructions, or better yet a step by step guide that can help me. I searched the Forum, but I can't find anything on the E2000 in Bridge mode. LIKE I said that my English is not the best, if anyone can help me? If anyone can find instructions step by step would be great. It is not a problem if it is in English, there are a few pictures. I hope that I can finally use the WLAN today...

  • Wireless Bridge, TV are not not in the sharing of multimedia files

    Hi all - any help appreciated. I have just set up my Sony Bravia TV to the internet through a Linksys Wireless Bridge. Had a little trouble but with resets I connected to my network and internet.

    My Pc Vista show two up as servers but when I click on them, only some of the movies that I have on them appears and plays. Number of files is empty, even if there are the mpgs in them. Those who show your work. When I tried to add the tv media sharing in Windows media player 11 or the bridge or the TV show. The settings are ok, the DHCP is activated and the subnet mask is correct. What I am doing wrong?

    Also the Twonky server help? Can I use twonky server to connect to my hard drive NAS, also unrecognized by TV and has most of my saved movies stored on it.
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    I decided to use Directv and attached my wireless bridge. It connected and I was able to play videos but again once my network drive was not appear. I probed more deep - went to administrative privileges and found an article on multimedia. Unfortunately the box shares on the network multimedia player has not verified! Control which allowed me to be able to stream all my video to the TV through directv set-top box. the network drive appeared as a server and all is well.

    I use the wireless bridge to connect directly to the TV when I want to access account netflix to my husband or other internet offerings of SONY, but as a coil of general for my stored photos and video I'll stay connected to the directv because it works very well.

  • The router access point wireless bridge

    Hi I recently moved into a new building which has a few hot spots for the Internet connection is included in the rental price. I don't have a model of linksys Cisco wireless-G broadband router. WRT54G2 V1 and I am trying to create a wireless bridge between the point of interest (I have my own Unique Internet identifier) the router, which is then connected to my office using an Ethernet cable.

    Can I create a wireless bridge, if yes, how can I do this?

    Thanks in advance

    The router (WRT54G2 V1) does not have a capacity of wireless receiver so you will need a separate ethernet bridge.

    Your installation should be like this:
    (((WiFi)))---> (((pont Ethernet<-wired connection-="">routeur Linksys<-wired connection-="">ordinateur de bureau))

    I hope that makes sense. XD

  • The way of writing to a wireless bridge between two different routers.1:broadband and dir 2:dlink 605 l

    I want to bridge.and wireless I can't do that... Please send me how to write to a wireless bridge between two different routers.

    1:broadband
    and
    2:Dlink dir 605 l,

    Hi Mohammed Ehsan Jourah,.

    Thanks for posting the request in the Microsoft community forums.
    I understand that you need to know how to make a wireless bridge between two different routers

    What version of the operating system is installed on the computer?

    To connect multiple computers, install a network adapter in each and run a network CAT5 cabling to connect each one to a hub (and thus the other.) The computer that will serve as a transition will have a standard network card for wired and a wireless network adapter that will connect to the wireless (WAP) access point or gateway on the second network.

    A network bridge is software or hardware that connects two networks or more so that they can communicate. You can create only a single bridge network on a computer, but a bridge can handle any number of network connections.

    You can try the steps at the bridge between two different routers wireless.
    a. determine the coverage area. When using two or more routers, the coverage area should be divided, and each router should be placed in a central location in each subdivision. If you add a wireless router to an existing network, this may mean moving the first router.
    b. decide which router is the main router. The main router is connected to the Internet, a LAN cable or other networks. It should be as close to the wired network connections or who has the best line of sight to another wireless network. In addition, the main router should be a high range router, allowing large tables of State and more users.
    c. buy a spare antenna, as the antennas that come with most routers do not have very good range. Quality omnidirectional antennas can push the range and signal strength of each of the routers, which, in turn, will reduce the cost by allowing routers less cover more space overall.
    d. deploy the primary router carefully. This router is the most important and requires most of the time of installation and options. Set the WEP (Protocol) encryption Service Set Identifier (SSID) and wireless, set up the Internet connection and test the router with some clients (computers). Once you get the main router deployed, deploy other routers should be easy.
    e. deploy the secondary routers, which must be configured to operate in "mode of transition." Secondary routers should be deployed around the perimeter of a large area or 'hot spots' where users placed - for example, will convene a bench Park or the table.

  • WRT1900AC cannot see Wireless Bridge

    Hi all...

    I have a WRT1900AC (FW 1.1.8.161917) the router and wish to connect a wireless bridge that is connected to my DirecTv box.  I have an old WRT54G ver 3.1 running DD - WRT which I did in a wireless bridge.  I have good connectivity to and from the DirecTv box, but no connectivity to my gw wireless which is my WRT1900AC.  The WRT1900AC can't see the wireless gateway that is.  I have triple checked that I have the identifier SSID is correct and the security in the WRT54G wireless setting and even tried to use an old bridge G from Linksys to connect wireless and the exact same problem occurs when.  No device can see other wireless.  I suspect the WRT1900AC as the source of the problem.  Wireless gateways both try to connect 2.4 Ghz radio.

    Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.

    -Andy

    Reset the DirecTV box and we're ready now.

  • WAG120N wireless bridge with E1500

    I have my internet to come into my WAG120N and out wireless. I want to install a wireless bridge between this and an E1500, so I can connect my TV to the E1500 (via ethernet cable) and have access to the internet. Unfortunately, I can run a cable from the WAG120N to the location of the TV. Then she I can get the E1500 filled the WAG120N wireless, I hope I can work around this problem.

    I have updated the firmware on the E1500 bridging support, but from what I can tell that it provides only fill via a cable. Is it far from fill wireless?

    See you soon

    Mike

    1. routers Wireless Linksys don't support wireless connection.

    2. either install 3rd party firmware like dd - wrt or tomato or buy a dedicated wireless bridge and connect the E1500 to the bridge. This way, you can also use the wireless in the E1500 for wireless connections.

    3. another check power line ethernet. It is often a more reliable and quality solution.

  • E3000 as a waterfall on a wireless bridge router

    Can you offer any suggestions on how to implement the next network. I would like to make it's good and I'm ready to buy the right equipment.

    Here is a diagram of the structure:

    After my research, I realized that normally router B to there should in fact be only a switch, which the IP assigned by DHCP router A to all customers in both networks A and B. However, one of my goals is to ensure that the network B will remain operational, even if the wireless bridge loses its connection to A router and Wan. It seems to me that the best way to proceed is to use a router instead of a switch to Y. It is not necessary that B Network Clients see Clients in the network has only access to the WAN is required.  In addition, network B Clients must communicate to 1 GB (there is a NAS box) and I do not want their throutput to be constrained by the speed of wireless bridge.

    Can I use an E3000 router B to Y, and if so how should be configured. I understand that I must give another IP address that the router has to X. The challenge for me is to know how to configure the network B so that it is independent from the router except for internet access. I have to configure each network on a different subnet?

    In addition, the wireless bridge link must be distinct from wireless networks and B. Is it possible by simply assigning their own SSID wireless bridges and routers wireless in A and B different SSID?

    Thank you

    Thanks for all the help!

  • Having trouble getting a Dlink DWL-G820 wireless bridge to work with wrt610n

    I'm trying to get a few dlink wireless bridges to work with wrt610n, but not having a chance.  I left Wrt610n router with the IP default '192.168.1.1' and configured accordingly bridges with addresses "192.168.1.xxx".

    Wireless bridges is not happy.  Any ideas?  Bridges have been working well when I was with the IPS "192.168.0.xxx" with wrt610n

    Sorry guys, the problem was the security setting wireless that I used on the WRT610N, not the addressing system.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Network Magic cannot discover a "BEFSR41" router behind a "WET610N" wireless bridge

    Just upgraded to a WRT610N 2 version in my office.  He pulls an IP address from my cable router and distributes IP addresses (this is setup for DHCP) without problem.  I need to extend the home network to another part of the House so I took 2 x WET610N wireless bridges.  Since many devices will have to use the bridge I'll recycle my BEFSR41 as a switch.  I have the router configuration and bridge; the bridge connects to the port "uplink" on the router, and the DHCP has been disabled on the router.  But when I run Network Magic BEFSR41 router cannot find the other side of the bridge.  Any ideas?

    You need this post in the section Network Magic from this forum.  If the router acts as a switch, it will be transparent and not e seen.

  • Wireless Bridge outside of Cisco 1530

    Hello

    Since the end of the sale of Cisco-1300/1400 wireless bridges, I searched for a replacement product.

    I noticed Cisco released the 1530 Outdoor Wireless Access Point.  Has anyone used it successfully as a bridge wireless, and nobody knows if theres a utility for calculating range to work remotely approximate the 1530 cover with integrated or external antenna?

    See you soon,.

    The replacement for the bridges were the exalt r5005 which Cisco sold. This is the real external point bridges up to 160mbps half duplex. You can probably use the old calc or mesh range calc for you give a good estimate.

  • Autonymous 1300 AP wireless bridge - BVI1 and bridge group Question

    Hi all

    I am setting up two 1300's as a bridge wireless, but I' am not going to use in the network, vlan 2 vlan 1 is my managent.  Does this mean that I won't be able to manage the wireless bridges because only the Group 1 bridge can route ip?

    I configured bridges wireless with the network infrastructure such as vlan vlan 2 on the SSID and I created a control2 on both AP quit my BVI1 on both sides.  AP associate between them, but I could not telnet or ping the bridge on the vlan 2.  I went then to the vlan 1 as the infrastructure vlan and I turned to BVI1 upward.  Then I could ping and telnet to the bridge wireless between the bridges.

    So with the installer, I want bridges will be managed locally via the console?

    The other issue I have is that I have a vlan 900 for the voice across the bridge but bridge-group # s only go up to 255, will my traffic vlan 900 still cross the bridge without the configuration of the bridge Group on the dot11 and fa0 subinterfaces?  Thank you

    Thank you

    Jason

    No need to create control2... BVI 1 is sufficient and map the SSID of the Valn 2... This will be enough to get the operational wireless network. the switch port configuration must be a trunk allowing all the VLANS.

    in what concerns the vlan voice... Simply create the interafce sub on the bridge. That's the problem.

  • Unable to join a homegroup Windows 7 with a network that spans a wireless bridge

    I have two Windows 7 machines that are at the ends of the face of a wired LAN network which connects via a wireless bridge and I am unable to get Windows 7 machines on each side of the brdige to connect to a homegroup created across the bridge.  Perhaps to better illustrate what I mean, here's my network configuration:

    Wireless router:
    Machine from Windows 7 1 (LAN wired to the router)
    Windows XP machine (for LAN cable to the router)

    Wireless Bridge (connect wirelessly to the wireless router):
    Computer Windows 7 2 (LAN wired to the bridge)
    PS3 (wired LAN to the bridge)
    TV (cable LAN to the bridge)

    I use the bridge wireless set up so that I can connect LAN devices wired to the wireless bridge so that they appear to be on the same local network as all other devices on the wireless router (stops to have at home and the bridge wire wireless allows me to expand the scope of all wireless devices I might have).  While all the machines can meet without a problem and I can't even set Windows Media Player to stream video to the PS3 and the TV through its capabilities of DLNA, Windows 7 network mapping server shows not the systems connected to the other end of the gateway wireless as being on the same network (although it shows them); so Windows 7 Homegroup does not see other machines as being on the same network.

    The only thing I can think to do with limitations in TCP/IP regarding a wireless bridge, from the perspective of wireless router all connected to the wireless gateway devices appear to be a device (they all appear under the same physical MAC address as the device only "wireless" that connects to the network is the wireless bridge - who just happens to have three other devices connected to it) even if they are assigned to different (numbers) IP that are in the same subnet, etc.).  So I guess what I'm wondering Windows 7 has a limiation to recognise the devices connected via a wireless bridge?  Has anyone else encountered this problem and found a work around?

    Thank you.

    I had this same problem (unable to connect to a Windows 7 homegroup) on Windows 7 (64-bit) PC behind a wireless bridge using a D-Link DAP-1522 to a D - Link DIR-655 residing on the main network.

    The solution that worked for me was to allow for the "'wireless MAC CLONING ' with 'Source MAC = Auto" on the DAP-1522. "  It also had the beneficial effect of the side to fix a problem on PC behind the bridge where control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network card cannot display all the network devices.

    As far as I know on some computers the Intel ProSet utility portable Satellite A100 was preinstalled. You should find it in the assistance of Toshiba.
