• Linksys WRT54g + WAP54g setup help

  Yes I know im using a material more older, but its what I have available lol. Hoping someone can help out me. its been listen to me like hell.

  play with it for a few days and I can not understand
  its driving me crazy lol hope someone can help.

  Here's the Setup program.

  WRT54g router is configured in A with connection Wi - Fi on.
  Laptop to wireless connection point C , which lies on the opposite side of the House. so that means that it is very weak signal.

  now looks like A-C

  Now, I tried to put WAP54g to the point B , so that she could get the signal to the point and he raises so that the signal can reach the point C

  so, it looks like now a C-B - less is what im trying to accomplish.

  the wap54g does for AP mode and I tried all the MS and cannot operate. IM missing a step, i just don't know where lol

  Access point
  The AP client
  Wireless Repeater (it seemed like the obvious choice, but it does not work or I did wrong)
  Wireless Bridge

  can anyone?

  Thank you

  If you are referring to my previous post, you can configure your access point in Repeater mode and router and wireless access point communicates and it will send the signal wireless to your laptop. If you want to connect the AP wired to the router then configure the AP in AP Mode.

• With the help of WAP54G connected to BEFSR41

  I have a desktop connected to my BEFSR41 Vista Home Edition. My WAP54G is also connected to the BEFSR41, providing access for two portable Vista Home Edition. All machines have Internet access. The problem is that portable computers cannot access the desktop computer to add desktop for printing printers remotely or map drives. All the machines see through the Vista Network Center link and sharing 'To see the entire map' (which is pretty cool).

  Via ping, the desktop machine can see TWO laptops, by name AND IP address (as well as the WAP54G and BEFSR41).

  However, through ping, portable computers cannot see the office by either its IP address or name. Returns the ping by name: request Ping could not find office-host. Please check the name and try again. Laptops see the router & wireless access point.

  I'm at my wit's end, I tried EVERYTHING imaginable to make it work, but I obviously missed something because it's basic network functionality. The wrinkle is that I recently replaced my BEFSR41 v2 with v4.3. There is either a parameter that is not correct or Linksys omitted a very important element features between versions. The v2 enabled it works without problem.

  Help!

  Joe

  GV & brickmonkey - you were both correct. The Norton 360 firewall was the culprit! I do not understand why it worked with the previous version of the BEFSR41, because I have never changed this setting since installing Norton firewall.

  Let me know if you're ever in Nashville - margaritas are on me!

• Help! CISCO WAP54G BUTTON

  I had my WAP54G for about six months... works very well, but I accidentally pressed the CISCO while wiping clean logo and now it does not work! I tried to reset and nothing not past, .the installation disk keep saying that a wireless access point is not found... and modem/router from my phir no longer sees the WAP54G connection.

  Now what?

  Manny

  I agree with Fredz... As reset you the router, now you must re - configure WAP from scratch. Try the link provided by Fredz and you will be able to configure your Access Point.

• Problems with getting WAP54g repeat (extend) wireless network

  At one of our offices, we have a Cisco ASA5505 firewall that has dhcp active. I have a WRT54G Router plugged into this active firewall with DHCP. The scope of our internal network is 192.168.51 *, but when it is connected to the WRT54G, it gives you the scope of 192.168.1. * We have an antenna amplifier screwed into one of the ports on the router antenna. This configuration all works very well.

  The problem is to install a WAP54G access point in a building on the property (picks up the signal fine wireless router) to repeat the signal wireless at the rear of the property where the router will not reach. I've read that all you have to do is type the routher wireless mac address in the access point and select "wireless Repeater". I have the channels set to 6 on both devices as well as the same security configuration. When I try to connect to the network wireless access point, it never gives me an ip address in the scope 192.168.1. *, that the WRT54G is configured to give. Anyone know what could be the problem?

  In addition, in this configuration should the WRT54G be defined on the router or gateway mode? I didn't need to distribute ip addresses

  Here are the ip addresses and the data of each unit

  Cable modem-->

  Cisco ASA 5505 Firewall - 192.168.51.1-->

  WRT54G - IP address of the router - 192.168.1.1, however it uses DHCP and the ip address and the gateway he uses for the internet are of the order of 192.168.51. *-->

  WAP54G - 192.168.1.245

  Any help would be appreciated, I might even make a phone call. Thank you

  I got it. I was working with security personal WPA2 on both devices. I removed the security completely and both devices connect then. I then used to fix, WEP. The two devices communicate with WEP.

• 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.

  I would add a fourth unit, but as I am doing so I discovered that the 4th unit network MAC address is the same as that of the three already existing in my lan bridge WAP54Gs.   How can this be?  All units, aren't supposed to have unique MAC address of the factory.  I have triple checked to make sure that I am indeed two different units WAP54G.  Yes there is indeed to disting WAP54G units in my possession to what appears to be duplicate MAC addresses.  Then two units with double MAC addresees exsist on the same bridge LAN?  If this is not the case, is it possible to change one of the units, itg is not possible to return a device?  Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.

• WAP54G Setup cannot find router

  I have (or better) a WAP54G 3.1, and a second that is configured as repeaters work.
  Accidentally someone pressed the button-Logo and secure-easy-setup-function enabled - of course, nothing did more work.

  I tried to reconfigure the WAP54G, but I can no longer access.

  I pressed the reset on the back button, but that doesn't help much. Now the situation is:

  The AP has an open, public WIFI named linksys - I can connect through which to the DSLrouter and to the internet.

  But I'm not able to find the WAP54G to configure

  192.168.1.254 IP address fails, no ping, no http. I tried the WLAN connected PC and also those connected by cable. I downloaded the installer, but that also claims he can not find any WAP54G, once both tried from a wired computer and from the PC (connected) wireless, firewalls on computers were off.

  local IPS are 192.168.178.xxx and subnet mask is 192.168.0.0 - and that 'invisible' grace WAP54G wireless connected PC received 192.168.178.1 dhcp 192.168.178.32 address and can access INet

  Anyone have an idea how I can configure the WAP54G?

  Sorry for typo IP, - yes of course faults by default est.245

  I was at my local store - the reason is simply that the misconfigured AP reset button did not work not today.

• Power supply for WAP54g v.2?

  Somehow, the power adapter AC for my v.2 WAP54g Access Point was lost among a few other power adapters, and now I don't know who is who. Can someone tell me which would be the right one? There are several brands of adapters that output 12 volts DC with various outputs of the amplifier... 1. 0 a, 1. 25 a, 800ma, 700ma... who is who? Thanks for any help.

  Dan

  The original adapter for a WAP54G should be 12VDC @ 1a (1000ma).

  The current can be greater than 1.

• 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.

• Wireless router WRP400 WAP54G Point Wireless WPS54G print server Wi - Fi

  I have a router broadband wireless Linksys WRP400 with 2 phone ports and a Linksys WPS54G wireless print server. Unfortunately, the signal is too weak to detect the wireless Print Server 20 meters/yards away at the other end of the House. (Works fine when they are close together).

  Linksys Help Desk told me that a WRE54G amplifier is not useful to extend range, because they will have only a helping hand signal by 50% compared to a WAP54G wireless access point that they recommend.

  Can you suggest the best way to increase the signal between a WRP400 router and a wireless WPS54G print server? Would a WAP54G wireless set to halfway between the two (or in some other way) is working to boost the strength of the signal between WRP400 router wireless and wireless WPS54G Print server?

  I don't want to have to wire all devices.

  No forum topics cover using the WPS54G and WRP400 together, hope I can push the signal strength wireless - thanks for your help.

• 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 '.

• Power supply for WAP54G V3

  Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me identify the specifications of supply of power for a WAP54G V3.  I searched high and low on the Net, and there seems to be a lot of conflicting info.  I found the specs for a WAP54G V3.1, but I have the plain V3, so I don't know if it's the same thing or if it requires different specifications.  If anyone out there has a V3, could you check your card and reporting?  Thank you!!!

  Jonathan

  I have a true Linksys PSU for WAP54G in my hand.

  Model: 12100SA

  Input: 240v 50 Hz 110mA

  Output: 12VDC 1000mA

  Made in China

  Given consumption a WAP54G is 6W (500mA @ 12VDC) power supply 500mA would be 100% operational at all times. It doesn't take a genius to likely scenarios (problems)

  12VDC @ 1a (1000mA) is your solution.
