WAP54G change IP

I have insalled a bridge (WET54G) and an access point (WAP54G) in a remote location, about 200 yards from the router (WRT54G), the bridge is attached to a directional high gain (15db-30deg distributed) Hawkins. The system works very well for a few hours or as long as there is activity within the connection on the side of the AP. After sitting idle for a few hours the AP assigns new IP addresses (such as 169.254.128.34) and I get little or no connectivity to the remote location. I can turn off the AP for a few seconds, power up and select Repair and it works very well 'again. "

There are 2 computers to the trapdoor, connected wireless and 3 wireless connected to the router and my BlackBerry to two points. I have no hard cables in each position except for the installation of computers. The system is configured as an infrastructure.

Any suggestion why it is reasigning or wht/do try?

In my view, that there is some confusion here.

OU said that the AP assigns to the new IP 169.254.128.34 and your while end up with little or no connection.

The 169.254.128.34 is a windowz default IP address that is assigned to a customer when the customer does not receive a response from the DHCP server.

Apart from that, can not change the WAP54G is not IP randomly without human intervention.

In my view, that the question is one of the integrity of the connection. You will need to determine where the link is a failure between the client and the WAP54G or between the WAP54G and the WRT54G.

The WAP54G c a study on site to check the level of the signal. While this is not final, we found that the signals below 50% in Mixed Mode / G seen fail easily. In mode B, this phenomenon seems to be more common below 20%.

Also check the security used, they must match. You will also notice that you cannot use WPA in Bridge/Repeater mode. Also check the integrity of the pass phrase be used, there are characters (punctuation, special characters and spaces) that will allow the connection fails immediately or after a period of use. Most immediately, there is also a requirement of the length.

Also check the SSID, they should be the same. We discovered that if there is another device with the same SSID with the proximity of the bridge then the Red device will interfere with the bridge causing it to fail.

Securing your bridge is limited, we suggest disabling SSID boadcast. While this is NOT a security measure it masks the presence of your network.

  • Using a WAP54G as a Repeater for router E2500

    I have E2500 Wireless N router that I bought recently to replace a cheapie netgear that I lent to the family.  The router is in the basement near a bunch of metal ducts and I live near a radio station, which I believe is killing my signal.  in any case, I was able to pick up a WAP54G wireless access point.  I would use it as a wired Repeater (if all goes well for the signal upwards in the upper levels of my home).  Can I use the WAP54G with the E2500?  I looked in the settings page when I tried to set up as a Repeater, and he says he will only connect with another WAP54G or a WRT54G (linksys g wireless router).

    The installation program to use the WAP54G as access point wireless, with a connecting cable between the WAP54G and your router is fairly simple.

    The default IP address a WAP54G is 192.168.1.245.

    If your router is the default address 192.168.1.1, you can direct cable connect the WAP54G to the router.

    Then open a Web browser and access the WAP54G its default address 192.168.1.245, password "admin".

    If everything succeed insofar as you can leave the WAP54G default LAN settings.

    Just adjust the settings wireless to your wishes: set an SSID, unique and different, then your router, set a channel, unique and different, and then your router, set the type of wireless security and the sentence of past (I suggest the same thing as your router).

    On the password tab, you set your own password to access the WAP54G for future configuration.

    Everything else can be left by default.

    Power cycle the WAP54G after all your changes, you should now be able to wireless connect to the SSID WAP54G and its own wireless security settings and you should have access to the Internet through the WAP54G.

  • Cannot access the WAP54G after firmware upgrade

    I have updated the firmware of my WAP54G v.2; We just started to use the AP again and when I checked, I thought I would update. I was going to 1.2 or 1.4 to the latest firmware using this link http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/wireless/lbc/WAP54G, version 2. I could see the AP before starting my Dlink router. I downloaded the firmware and the upgrade of the access point. She completed successfully, but when I tried it I could reach him is no longer. I checked the router and it shows is no longer there and I can't access it via the installer.

    How you try to access the router configuration page? If the access point is connected to your d-link router, make sure that your router's default ip address and AP are in the same range. The IP default WAP54G is 192.168.1.245.

    If the router's default IP address is different, so you will need the AP wired to your computer and assign a static ip address to your computer ie: 192.168.1.10 and then connect to the access point configuration page and settings wireless entry and change the default IP of AP, which is of the order of your d-link router.

  • Installation of Repeater WAP54G

    I have a WRT54G Router and it has been fine for years of work.  I have 2 wireless computers within 20 feet of the router and 4 others across the House.  I get a weak signal across the House, so I bought a WAP54G renovated in the hope of making a Repeater near these 4 devices for better reception.  I followed the instructions provided by Cisco for setting this up as a Repeater and read through most of the messages on this topic but no luck.

    I changed the MAC address of the WAP54G to the MAC of the router and changed wireless Repeater Mode.  I also left the IP address of the WAP54G as 192.168.1.245 but I do not see the Repeater at all from any computer.  I put the radio channel of the same (Ch6) but the SID is different.  The only way I can see the WAP54G is if I plug it directly into the WRT54G Router.

    The only thing I noticed in the instructions of Cisco is that they show a WRT54G Router wired to a WAP54G and WAP54G, then another at the other end of the facility with a computer cable attached to it.  Does this mean that you need two (2) WAP54G of this works?  I assumed that you need only one (1) WAP54G and one (1) router WRT54G with the WAP54G as repeaters.

    Can anyone help?  It's very frustrating.

    I was chatting with Linksys for over an hour and still could not get this to work.  I also scanned the internet for all the forums that I could find, and it seems that many people cannot get a WAP54G to work as a Repeater with a WRT54G.  I am convinced that it will not work.  I send my return WAP54G Monday and bought a place WRE.

  • Access point WAP54G whose MAC addresses are the same

    I have 3-point WAP54G access that are connected together using wireless bridge settings found under the "AP Mode" in the menu.

  • WAP54G access point cannot connect to more than one PC at a time

    Hello

    I'm a newbie in the entire wireless router installation process.

    I have a WAP54G AP. I managed to enter the configuration page and rename my router and set a WPA2-Personl password.

    The issue I'm facing is that when my roommate and I try to connect to the router at the same time, it shows the laptop that connects then as one who has "limited connectivity" and so cannot use the internet. However, the 1st laptop works very well!

    The settings for the router were all left by default.

    I don't know, but this problem has something to do with the fact that the router that is configured with a static IP address.

    If Yes, then there is an another issure which is that whenever I have try to change static automatic/Dynamic IP, the page fails and that the router is not even connect to configuraion (192.168.1.245) page after that. The only way to get this page again is the reset of the router.

    Also I am not able to get directly in the config page, when I connect my router to my laptop through lan. I need to change the LAN IP address to 192.168.1.x where x is > 1.

    Is this normal or is there a problem?

    If anyone has a solution to all or part of these problems, I'd love to hear back in shape as you.

    Thank you!

    OK... I found the answer.  I connected a laptop computer.  I put the laptop IP 192.168.1.10 (static) and the gateway to 192.168.1.1 and then connected to my factory WAP54G (192.168.1.245).  Configure a new ip address static (192.168.0.245) and power cycling box.  I have connected to my network, and then was able to connect to its new IP address.  The installer is still, but that's fine.  I know what I have to do now!

  • WRT54GS jumpered to WAP54G - can be done "wireless".

    I can find no confirmation that ALL Linksys products allow the fillers 'Wireless' a wireless router with a wireless access Point. The only solution I've seen involves 'wiring' a router to a WAP browser and then "wireless" bypass than another WAP WAP.

    I want a connection 'Wireless' between a router and a WAP browser. It's not that hard to is it?

    Currently I have my modem cable connected to my router WRT110 range wireless more (I could replace a WRT54GS the WRT110 if needed). What is installed on the floor and all my electronics IP based on the floor to connect to this router with cables. I have several computers downstairs who need access to the Internet as well as to communicate with the hardware on the floor. One of the computers is down already connected 'Wireless' to the WRT110. However, I extend my office on the ground floor and I want to group these computers together on a switch that is then connected to the WAP54G. The WAP54G cannot (without too much pain) be connected by cable to the WRT110 due to the design of my house.

    You would think that this scenario would not only common, but also simple to do.

    Anyone out there with a solution to this (other than to do everything down to communicate wirelessly)?

    Thanks amine.

    At least you tried to answer my question and give me a solution as possible. Fred, OTOH, is an arrogant geek and no help at all.

    I ended up solving the problem on my own. I used my existing WRT54GS wireless router and my WAP54G access point that is configured as a bridge.

    For those looking for the same solution as I type, I posted the details of how I arrived later in this post. ***

    It took a lot of trial and error. Mainly due to the fact that Linksys/Cisco online documentation and the documentation of 'aid' within the Web interface for the devices is erroneous and confusing (at least to anyone who does not work for Cisco).

    For example, any person (other than a network experienced pro) read the manual of the product, the web help screen interface on the device itself or the product description on the Web site for the WAP54G will be left asking exactly how to actually connect this device.

    I resorted to the use of Linksys ask which took a lot of research/reading just to get closer to the info that I needed. In fact, a description indicates that the WAP54G may ONLY be connected to the WRT54GS as either an Access Point (AP) or as a wireless Repeater (which would solve my problem). It does not you can connect to the WRT54GS in Bridge Mode or AP Client Mode. So, it's very misleading at first.

    In addition, when bring you up the web interface on the WAP54G and click on-screen in AP Mode, the note at the 'bottom' of the screen says that you can only connect to an another WAP54G in AP Client or in Bridge Mode. It excludes the WRT54GS device.

    However, if you click the HELP link on this page AP Mode, that the documentation says that you CAN Bridge to a WRT54GS device.

    So you can see how difficult it was getting just enough information to determine that it would be possible to fill the two devices together and solve my problem. That's why I have a bone to pick with Linksys and, apparently, no-Help Freddie.

    Here's the scenario and solution for those of you following this post who want to do what I did:

    SCENARIO:

    Connect the network segment 'A' to 'B' network segment using a wireless connection (essentially means that you need a wireless bridge).

    Network segment 'A' consists of the cable Modem connected to a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router. This router provides switching and Internet connectivity for all connected it devices whether they are with or without wire connections. In my case, I have a NAS device and a laptop connected via a CAT5 cable, and I have a TIVO box connected via the wireless connection.

    Network segment 'B' consists of a group of computers in the lower corner of my house. It is not easily possible to run a CAT5 cable out there so a wireless connection is necessary. In addition, devices to connect have no wireless cards and I don't want to spend the money to add. My approach was to wire all of these devices to a switch and then connect this switch for the WAP54G. The WAP54G then it must connect to the WRT54GS connect wireless 'haul back' (since I couldn't do cable together using CAT5.

    SOLUTION:

    Start first with the WRT54GS device:

    (1) follow the procedure of Linksys to connect your PC to the WRT54GS router so that you can access to the routers configuration utility web interface.

    (2) using the web to access the WRT54GS interface, configure the WRT54GS with the INTERNET side of the router to auto configure itself (DHCP) in the Modem/Internet cable box.

    (3) on the side of the router LAN, configure it to 192.168.1.1 IP address and set it as the DHCP server for the local network. Assign the address of 192.168.1.100 rental range 149.

    (4) you should now have Internet access.

    (5) download and install the latest version of the firmware from the site Web of Linksys (version 4.71.4 in this case).

    6) write down the "wireless MAC address" of the WRT54GS. This information is shown on the STATUS and then the screens tabs wireless web interface. You will need when you configure the WAP54G.

    5) click on the WIRELESS tab and set the SSID to something that will be common to all your connected wireless network devices. I set mine to MIXED mode and use the CHANNEL 6. I also enabled SSID broadcast (at least initially).

    6) click the fixed wireless SECURITY tab MODE for WPA-PERSONAL and serve the TKIP algorithm. Enter a character from 8 to 63 KEYS in the field. The docs say nothing about the case of the letters (LC or UC) but I found that it is important. Also, I tried to use WPA-PERSONAL2 and AES, but it wouldn't work. So use the one I mentioned to start.

    (7) to change the password for the router in 'admin' (which is the default) to something else.

    (8) save all of these changes.

    (9) the backup configuration of the WRT54GS on hard drive of the local computer.

    Now, configure the WAP54G device:

    (1) connect a CAT5 cable between the WRT54GS LAN port to the Ethernet on the WAP54G port.

    (2) use the PC connected to the WRT54GS make the configuration of the WAP54G.

    (3) connect to the WAP54G using IP 192.168.1.245, which is the default address assigned to the plant.

    (4) on the SETUP / NETWORK SETUP screen, change the IP address to 192.168.1.2 STATIC address (in any case, it must be different from the IP address on the WRT54G or there is a conflict).

    (5) download and install the latest version of the firmware from the site Web of Linksys (version 3.04 in this case).

    6) click on SETUP, then AP MODE tab change the AP to WIRELESS BRIDGE MODE and enter the "wireless MAC address" of the WRT54GS that you noted in step 6 above in one of the fields in the section of BRIDGE wireless of this screen.

    7) click on the WIRELESS tab and configure the BASIC WIRELESS settings to the same as those used for the WRT54GS (named Mode, SSID and channel).

    8) click the wireless SECURITY tab and configure the WPA-PERSONAL, TKIP and password to be the same ones you used on the WRT54GS device.

    (9) change the default password of "admin" on the WAP54G and the BACKUP configuration.

    (10) now both devices can connect wirelessly.

    (11) disconnect the WAP54GS CAT5 cable. The WAP54G and the WRT54GS should now be able to communicate "wireless".

    (12) connect a switch on the Ethernet on the WAP54G port.

    (13) connect your PC, etc. to the switch. Wireless devices will also be able to connect to the device either WAP54G or the WRT54GS device that gives the signal stronger.

    (14) a set of the PC, network etc configurations use DHCP to obtain their IP, subnet, gateway and DNS automatically (mainly the WRT54GS).

    (15) you should now be able to connect from a PC on the side WAP54G of PC and Internet network via the WRT54GS device. The WAP54G will be connected to the WRT54GS 'Wireless '.

    This is the firmware part only third I know for the WAP54G V3.x with the function you're looking for without a lot of other useless to play. Simply go to advanced wireless settings, select the power and configuration of the antenna and your done.

    Note: The maximum power output is 84mw, and change it to any value that has no effect. Something like netstumbler to measure the new signal at the level of the customer in order to give you an idea on the comparative difference in signal.

  • WAP54G Repeater, which router mode?

    I have two WAP54G that I used to set that repeaters, but then I had to change my router to a WRT120N... But then I discovered only works with WRT54G Repeater mode, so I had to buy another.
    I bought a WRT54GH.

    I was not able to repeat the operation successfully with this router.   This is what happens to be WRT54GH will not be repeated like the WRT54G? So which router do I need?  If I didn't change my router, how to repeat the signal?

    Thank you.

    Yes. You can use WAP54G and connect directly to the modem to provide a wireless connection. Then, try to repeat the WAP54G signal rather than the signal from WRT54GH. I think WAP54G can repeat if connected with WAP54G wireless signals.

  • Connection WAP54G optics and fiber

    Switch used DSL Westell Modem - Linksys - WAP54G and everything worked well.  Changed to fiber optical fiber directly to the switch connected to ethernet and Internet services provider.  Ethernet network works fine but can not access the WAP54G.  Laptops see the WiFi, but local only.

    Should the WAP55G or ethernet fiber (or not) use the uplink Port #6 port?

    As you change the DSL ISP to optical fiber, you need to change the ip address of the WAP in the range of fiber optics ip.

    Also affect the gateway on the WAP even from the optical fiber.

Maybe you are looking for
