vs Repeater Access point

I can't decide if what I need is a WAP54G or a WRE54G.  What I have to do is to increase the signal AND speed on a PC wireless across the House.  It connects to the wlan with signal strength very low to low (which reminds me of rehearsal), but the connection speed fluctuates between 18mbps and the best 34 Mbps (which may explain an access point in the back room), I read everything I can find and a lot of what I've read says that a Repeater will not increase speed but will in fact slow the flow.  Help please.  The computer in the back room is about 40 to 50 feet away from the other side of the House.  My router is a WRT54GS and lies right next to my cable modem.  The computer with the problem also has a NIC 54GS

Thank you

Confused

It was the way I was leaning until I started the research question.  Thank you.  I really appreciate the help!

  • WRE54G canmot associated not with this access point in Repeater mode.

    Hello

    Because of the concrete walls, I have a weak signal to use the WRE54G to extend my existing wireless network. However, I installed an Ethernet cable and found possible to connect the WRE54G access point. This is my extension of network is via a connection to an Ethernet cable. Is seems to work fine, it allows communications to the internet and shows a power good signal from a remote PC. But it works only in unsafe mode.

    Although I tried to reset, and then follow the instructions to set up a new WEP or WPA encryption, the installation program recognizes the WRE54G, but does not allow me to save the configuration.

    The error it says it is "WRE54G canmot not associate with this access point in Repeater mode.

    Help, please

    Make sure your router's wireless settings and WRE are the same. Try changing the channel on your router, if your router's wireless channel is the default after the procedure, your WRE is unable to communicate with your wireless 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.

  • Access point

    Hello!

    Today, I received the WAP610N, but I have some problems...

    I have my router to the ground level and a Repeater to the first floor, both work very well. Now I tried to connect my PC (PCI WIFI n card) which is located on the second floor of this network, and I thought that it would work with the Access Point.

    Is there a way to do it, or am I better with giving it back and get a PCI card? I really prefer to use the WAP610N, because I could just plug in, and I don't have to use a PCI of the WLAN card slot.

    The WAP610N is an access point. It is not a Repeater or a wireless bridge.

    Get a wireless adapter or a wireless bridge.

  • Wireless-G Access Point WAP54G & Thompson SpeedTouch ST585

    For the life of me, I can't get this device to work. I am trying to create a point of access to a device not pc a FTA Receiver. The FTA Receiver needs access to the internet and works very well with an ethernet cable. I had hoped to use the WAP54G as a wireless connection. The installation CD does not recognize the modem/router Thompson SpeedTouch ST585 so I've been using the web to access the settings of the WAP54G. I did some readings using Google search and access via the web, I had to leave it white instead of enter "admin" after that tumble down the Userid first discovered, always through Google, I have tried setting the SSID, the same name as the SpeedTouch ST585 "INFINITUMB69844" done more reading I found that I needed to set the security on the WAP54G are the same on the SpeedTouch ST585 in my case as WEP passphrase window and set the WEP encryption key and press the button generate, which filled up all the empty spaces of keys. I am on windows XP and the fact a network routine from the control panel and also the repair option. Still no go. Unity of FTA, I am trying to connect has a DHCP option auto who will fill the IP address once it connects to the network so far all I get is zero, it does not connect. I need help with the settings. I did put my PC IP static or tried other methods suggested on Google. I thought to ask the experts. Please help me. Chris

    How you try to configure your Access Point and where are you going to connect this AP?

    As you mentioned that you have a Thompson Speedtouch router, and that you have entered the same settings wireless to your router to the AP, and if you plan to connect the AP to another device, then it is not not possible.

    WAG54G will work only in Repeater Mode / Mode Bridge that with the Linksys router, with all other routers it only works in a Mode Access Point, it means you need to keep this access point wired to your Thompson Speedtouch modem always.

  • WRT100 as an Access Point?

    I have implemented a new Linksys E2000 wireless but my router always have some problems of range and want to set up my old WRT100 as a Point of access across the House.  Is it still possible?  I don't see the configuration settings in the Firmware to do this.  I just want to be sure I'm not spinning my wheels on it.  Thank you!

    Yes. You can configure the WRT as access point. But there's a race to your main router ethernet cable.

    You cannot configure the WRT as Repeater wireless or wireless bridge.

  • 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...

  • My Airport Time Capsule can act as a WIRELESS access point

    Hello.

    I brought a Time Capsule with my Mac Pro. It worked well since yesterday.

    I have set up the time Capsule as a WIFI, bypass at my local network access point. There is a router (cable) works at home.

    It's my Mac Pro AirPort Utility and my iPhone, my Time Capsule is displayed with an exclamation point saying "device not found". I can't connect to the disk on this subject by afp share, or smb. Time Machine function is gone too. He failed trying to connect to the share drive from another computer connected to the time Capsule by cable network.

    But at the same time, WiFi works well.

    I tried to recycle energy. Sharing disk will be available. But if I start the Time Machine backup, it will not be a few seconds.

    Any idea?

    Thank you.

    There are several posts here related the issue.

    Luckily, you have set up your new Time Capsule for Back to My Mac (BTMM)?

    If so, the 'temporary' solution is to delete/disable the option of the CCMM, as follows:

    • Run the AirPort Utility.
    • Select the base and then station, select change.
    • On the tab of the Base Station, go back to the section of my Mac at the bottom of the window.
    • If you have entries here, select it and click then the minus sign "-" button to remove it.
    • Click on update and allow the base station restart.

    If you have not enabled CCMM, we have other options for you to try.

  • 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.

  • Time Capsule bridge and access point?

    Hello

    I have a question about the network wireless of my TC. Our provider has installed a new router. These router can not work as bridge, telephone and TV are also connected to this router. Because 2 wifi networks do not work, I wonder what is the best set-up for the network? The Capsule is connected to the router by ethernet. It is configured as a gateway. Before I used the TC to connect to internet. Now, I have disabled the wi - fi function and use the ISP connection. It looks good, only backups are a little slow now.

    -What is the best configuration for the TC in an existing network? So that I can put it off the wireless of the TC or the ISP router: can I use the TC-wifi (create a new network) or wifi existing ISP router to connect with wireless devices?

    -Do I lose speed when I'm with 2 devices on my network: TC as the ISP as a router and Access Point.

    (I always thought that 1 unit for router and access point is the best configuration.)

    -Are faster backup copies using the TC wireless or it does not matter when I backup on the wireless ISP?

    Some maybe stupid questions, but thanks in advance. Greetings.

    Because 2 wifi networks do not work

    Many people think that this is the case... but this isn't so.

    You can use several wireless networks... all attached to the same router. There is enough bandwidth available in the channels wireless for the operation of 3 different wireless networks nearby each other... and using 5 GHz adds much more.

    The Capsule is connected to the router by ethernet. It is configured as a gateway. Before I used the TC to connect to internet. Now, I have disabled the wi - fi function and use the ISP connection. It looks good, only backups are a little slow now.

    The configuration of TC in bridge is correct.

    Do not turn off the TC wireless... Provide a different name for the ISP wireless router and connect your computer... then you can get internet and make backups on the TC without overloading the ISP router wireless.

    -What is the best configuration for the TC in an existing network? If I disable the wireless of the TC or the ISP router:

    Turn on Wi - Fi in both.

    A physical configuration, it is recommended to have say separation of 1 M (3 feet) between the ISP router and the TC to a min. But it would be even better to have the TC at near the Mac who performs backups TM and related to the ISP router with ethernet.

  • 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

    I have a problem to reconnect to the last connected WLAN provider, with my Satellite P875 32 L.

    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.

  • Problem with access point or wireless adapter

    Hello world

    tried to connect to my WiFi, but the convenience store detects that the problem with access point or wireless adapter.
    The drivers are up-to-date and functioning normally. There were discussions on BIOS but I don't know if I would be able to complete the task without bricking your laptop.

    Is there any online support?

    Hi smert

    Your message is not really useful.
    Why? Because no one knows all the details of the laptop, wireless network card system...
    So please would you be kind enough to provide more details.

    But despite the missing information, I recommend:
    (1) reset your router WLan
    (2) check the connection to the WiFi unsecured. (of course for testing purposes)
    (3) check the different (WPA/WPA2 AES, TKIP) encryption
