What Linksys router for?

Hello!

My old wired router Linksys BEFSX41 v1 died and I had to use my old Netgear RT311 router to use the Internet. I'm looking for a new router at a local retail store (Best Buy, Fry, Office Max, Staples, etc.) to buy tomorrow evening. I heard a lot of positive comments on WRT54. A good for? I don't need speed and will always use an old Linksys WAP11 (connected) because some old wireless devices and computers do not have something higher to WEP (Yes, I know, it is easily hackable). The good of http://www.salescircular.com/ca/computer/wrlsnp.shtml?

Thank you in advance.

Yes, the WRT54G is really a good wireless router... A few good models are WRT54GS, WRT54G2... Check out this link.

  • Need to modernize the modem; How do I 'plan' relocation WRT54G Router for wired / wireless

    I went late to upgrade my modem, and from what I've read in the comments, do a modem/router combo doesn't seem to be the best thing to do in what concerns the issues of reliability and range.  So, I want to upgrade my modem & then use the same router/access point that I currently have.  However, I've read other users with problems by accessing the control panel after you connect to a new modem... so want to know the information that I need to have before starting this project.

    Is this to say that I'm going to basically start early and set up my home network all over again?

    I'm pretty tech-savy... but I do not enough to really launch the project & see where it takes me... I don't have the TIME!  Laughing out loud!

    Thanks for any help/advice anyone can offer!

    Really, it depends on the type of settings that your ISP would put on the new modem. If the configuration of the new modem would be the same with the old, so there is no need for you to make any changes on the router. Simply connect the new modem, perform a powercycle by unplugging the power cord from the modem and router and it should work. However, if it is not, what you can do is to reset the router and reconfigure. The following links help you reconfigure the router after a reset.

  • Request for Pin wireless connecting to a linksys router

    I want to heck the feature in windows vista that asking to enter a PIN instead of simply asking for my shared key of wireless wpa. Can someone tell me please how to disable this feature in windows vista.

    The possibility of using a PIN instead of a password for wireless is on the router, not the computer . Go to the Linksys configuration utility and disable the PIN requirement wireless has from there. This is general information about implementing a secure wireless network, which includes how to enter the configuration of the Linksys utility.

    Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

    http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

    This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine. The first thing to do is to change the default password because * all * known default passwords for different routers.

    Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

    Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar. ;-)

    Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). Most computers purchased during the last 4 years have the wireless hardware that will support WPA2-Personal (also known as WPA2-PSK). This is the desired encryption level. If your wireless hardware is older, use WPA. Don't use WEP, because who is easily broken within minutes. So go ahead and set the Security Mode WPA2-Personal. Do this and enter a password. For example, you could use the password ' here be dragons, beware you scurvy dogs! The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

    At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password that you have created (exactly as you wrote it with all capital letters and punctuation) to join the network and start surfing.

  • Can what comparison be made between time capsule and Smart RG s505 wireless modem router for wifi

    Can what comparison be made between time capsule and Smart RG s505 wireless modem router for wifi

    Superior...

    After all, the chip is mainly a modem.

    Wireless is there but not designed as the primary connection.

    Wireless 802.11n 300Mbps AP with 2 x 2 MIMO Wireless bridge, WDS multiple SSID, including isolated invited SSID WiFi QoS (WMM) and PowerSave wireless security: • Wi - Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2) • AES, TKIP, WEP encryptio

    It is the Wireless N standard.

    The TC is dual-band simultaneous AC1750... even if in fact apple never leaves anything use 300mbit on the 2.4 GHz is more like AC1450... It is also 3 streams on both bands not 2 x 2.

    The fact that aid.

    The only thing to note is that a router from Apple can join never a router wireless not apple... so, there must always be plugged in by ethernet.

  • I want to know what I need to look at when buying a router for 50 concurrent users, 1 server connection information

    Original title: router Question.

    Hi all

    not sure if this is the right place to post but I was looking for some information about routers. specifically, I want to know what I need to look at when buying a router for 50 concurrent users, 1 server connection information. specifications, etc.

    Thanks :)

    Some routers will define a limited number of simultaneous connections. Domestic routers rarely do because the assumption is that the environment will not include such a high number.

    Ideally in a commercial environment you would separate on the hardware connection since the hardware firewall. It depends on the type of connection (ADSL?).

  • R8500: QOS is terrible on this router for $400

    So before you get this router I was using a $20 off of eBay refurbished Linksys router E6500 running DD WRT (Yes, you can run it on this router if you know where to find the firmware for this). In any case, the flow was not the greatest, but I never had problems.

    I have a ReadyNAS RN516 to my office and the backup on my Mac using the time machine office nas. I also have the Charter which gives single 4mbps upload (it's slow, but once he finished the initial and subsequent backup backups are fine). In real life, it's more like 4.75mbps. I have QOS value 3.75 to ensure that my modem is not bufferbloat and kill my connection.

    My problem is however that often my devices slow to a crawl (if more than 5 Ghz wireless or wired) whenever I am downloading. On my other router I just put 4 Mbps as the download limit and all devices than 4mbps equally, and I never had no problem with slowdowns or high pings and lag. No matter what I put the download speed at... He accuses just out for no apparent reason on this router.

    If someone can tell me why free DD WRT software works better than the software on a router for $400? Just curious?

    The new firmware seems to have helped. I changed a few things as well, and it seems to work very well.

    Regarding the comment of routers figure 3 and 4 routers in figure, there must be an improvement on the 2 figure routers and routers multi-3, otherwise what's the point?

    I'm trying the test of the future a little, that's why I chose this router. It doesn't matter if I take it right back and stick with my $ 20 DDWRT router. I do not have the latest and greatest tech (2012 macbook air and several iPhone 6 more ' and a room above the router and I can not even through any speedtests 60mbps (run through the gigabit mac that is wired and I move 65mbps each time.)

    I don't have a fast enough home nas box, but I'd be curious to see wireless local area network speeds. I wonder if I can break even 100 Mbps with this thing...

  • Cascading Linksys router to another router (LAN LAN)

    my 'main' router is defined as DHCP server only, and wireless is disabled on it. This router is in the basement.

    my "secondary" router is in the living room... The DHCP service is disabled on this router and this provided routers beams for the House at 2.4 and 5 Ghz wireless... allows to call "Network 2" SSID 2,4 and 5 what we call "Netowrk 5".  Wireless coverage is really good in the whole of the House except basement. I would like to do better in the basement as well.

    In this current set up what could I do to make it better. As the "primary" router isn't beaming wireless I might add another router 'third '?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    He should choose the height of the 2.4 GHz SSID or the SSID 5 GHz, but only in the case were two router have the same SSID for the 2.4 Ghz and the same SSID for 5 Ghz. (Remember separated SSID at 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz signals)

    It can be confusing, so here's an example:

    Main router:

    2.4 Ghz SSID: myhouse

    5 GHz SSID: myhouse_5gz

    Linksys router:

    2.4 Ghz SSID: myhouse

    5 GHz SSID: myhouse_5gz

    When a wireless client moves around the place he will switch to signal the harder for SSID it finally connected to.

  • Adding a new wireless router from Linksys at an old Linksys router system

    Hello

    I'll install a new standalone DVR to a home video surveillance system.  I would like to be able to access it with my current PC so I would like to add a Linksys wireless router.

    I'm currently 1 Linksys Wireless - G Broadband Router with speed Booster model WRT54GS-BP and 2 models WMP54GS from PC that have PCI adapters Wireless-G with speed Boosters (802.11 g).  I had these installed since 2006 and although they are no longer supported I really want to have to upgrade because they work very well.

    My questions are:

    If I add a new Linksys router to my new DVR will be able to communicate with my older Linksys router and adapters?   If Yes, what would be the best new router Linksys type should I buy?

    Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

    Hi Dan,.

    Please excuse the delay of time here, but I had a hard time to post a reply.  I added Ethernet Wireless-N - WET610N bridge.  When I installed the software, I kept getting error 102 - an error occurred communicating with your device.  I called Linksys for help and the tech had me make a few changes to the router 192.168.1.1.  I was able to install the Web Service to display the camera on both of our PC.  So the addition of the WET610N allowed us to access the DVR wireless!

  • Port Forwarding issue with HP Photosmart C7250 / Windows 7 / Linksys router

    Help, please! I worked on this problem with HP, Microsoft, No - IP.com, etc with no resolution.

    I have a 650 workstation DELL computer in office which has been recently formatted and had a clean install of Windows 7 will be of all installed updates. He is running Free AVG 9.0. There is a Linksys WRT54GS Wireless with disabled DMZ and Port 80 (only) active.

    I have installed no.-solution of IP.com for the creation of a hostname to point to my dynamic IP address.

    I need to have Port 80 go to the IP address of my PC so that I can set up synchronization option Wireless of my CRM with my iPhone and Blackberry. Instead, whenever I created the public IP address or host name, it brings me to the Web Interface of my HP Photosmart C7250 printer. Even, I assigned a static internal IP (and DNS) address to the printer (192.168.1.101) but no matter what I do Port 80 goes into that compared to the IP from my PC to 192.168.1.110 which is the IP in my router.  The printer is set up wireless on Channel 6 (WEP encryption).  UPnP is disabled.

    I called HP and they said, there is no place that port forwarding is enabled. This doesn't seem to be the case. I tried to change the internal IP address of the PC to 192.168.1.101, but it had nothing works (could not ping or pull up the Web Interface for HP). I tried to add a different port number and it doesn't work.

    I need Port 80 to connect to my IIS server. Microsoft says that this is but another State Tech that disrupts the HP software. From the HP Web Interface, it is what appears when I type in my host name or public IP address and it's not going to my PC, then I have a tendency to agree.

    FYI... I unplugged the printer and now when I try to ping the public IP address, I always get a response (even after half an hour of the printer being disconnected). Please HELP ASAP! Thank you!!!

    Solution - on secondment in case anyone else ever runs into this.  Update the firmware on the Linksys router did the trick!
