WRT54G and wrt160nl connection

I have a wrt54g (192.168.1.1) with the internet arrives in the port of the internet. From there, the exit number 1 (LAN) he's wired to the wrt160nl (192.168.1.10) 1 port (LAN).

My questions are the following:
1. do I need to use the same SSID?
2 is necessary to use the same channel or is it better to use a different channel?

Another problem is that I need to restart the wrt160nl to access the configuration page, but it seems that it is a common problem for users wrt160nl.

You can use the same SSID but use different channels, like 1 & 6, 6 & 11 or 1 & 11 in order to reduce interference channel crosstalk.

  • WRT54G and WRT160NL Torrents

    OK so here is my setup. I have a wrt54g directly on my access to the internet at home. There his hard cable to my wrt160nl where my desktop computer is connected. I would like to open a port for a torrent program to use, but I have no idea how to do that. Ive looked around a few guides but haven't found one that works. any help is really appreciated! (im sure this has been posted b4 but still, I couldn't find any soultions for my situation)

    If you want to run the two WRT as a router and have two separate local networks, you will have a much more complicated installation and the port forwarding for your torrents can turn out to be complicated, if not impossible. You must configure the port forwarding on both routers.

    I highly recommend to use a single router with a LAN configuration. The second router will be used as a switch access point and equipment.

    For example like this:

    1. the WRT54G connect to your modem and a address LAN IP 192.168.1.1.

    2. the WRT160NL is configured with the address LAN IP 192.168.1.2. DHCP server disabled.

    3. the WRT160NL is connected by one of its ports LAN for the WRT54G. Do not use the internet port of the WRT160NL.

    The WRT54G deals now all functions related to the internet. Customers on the WRT160NL connect directly to your local network and through the WRT54G to internet. Port forwarding must be configured on the WRT54G and there only. It's the simplest and probably most reliable installation for you.

    Of course, you can also swap the two routers in the previous configuration, either you use the WRT160NL as internet gateway and the WRT54G only as an access point.

    The access points in both routers must be configured with different SSID as they use differnet wireless standards (unless you spend the WRT160NL wireless-g only).

  • Can WRT54G and XP with WINDOWS/7 on the same network?

    I run a wireless home network using a LINKSYS

    Hello

    Cable/DSL wireless router are stand alone devices that are supported on any computer with Ethernet networking capabilities (cable or wireless).

    All versions of Windows + Apple + Linux may run together when connecting to a router as the WRT54, and/or routers newer wireless for the end user.

  • EA6900 - sky, on-demand and other connection issues...

    Hi all

    Newby to post on this forum has my camera for a few weeks now to replace an older WRT54G.

    I'll try and be as descriptive as possible and give you all the info I have and all that I tried in the hope that someone can point me in the right direction - live chat could not help!

    UK - user using VirginMedia fiber for wide band. I have their super hub 2 - but configured in modem mode, preferring my router. Which, as mentioned is new EA6900 to replace the old WRT54G who had got a bit tempremental. The model has no version only. so I assumed that ver 1.0, but it has the power switch. Firmware is the 863 it auto updated version. I disabled this now but alas too late that I read and I can't not the old version of 524 of support (see my other post).

    I have some questions other wireless an occasional reboot which I think could be fixed by downgrading of firmware if I could do it with!

    My question comes with a wired connection (via a switch and ethernet adapter power - but have eliminated these and will expand again) to use SKY service on request. It still worked before changing the router. After changing the router on SKY request I get a message saying ok broadband connection - I get an IP address valid to my assigned range, but it fails to connect to the service on request. I had control of the SKY and they insist, it is not a question to an end and sent signals etc. I have the same problem in three Sky boxes that used to work.

    I also saw this same problem/error with my PS3 which is no longer connects to the internet using a wired connection, it also crashes my switch - but was "bypassed" up to wireless, but even that had to be configured manually and don't work with the settings auto detected.

    I wondered if the use of adapters EOP was causing the problem or my switch that hangs off the coast of one of them, and is connected to that of sky boxes was the cause of error. To prove this, I got a long ethernet cable and plugged directly from the router to the switch - eliminate the EOP adapters but no change. I repeated the process but hard directly router cable to Sky box, but once again the same fault through the service on.

    I should mention that I have Apple TV not connecting the same switch (like the PS3 and sky) and it works fine no errors!

    I did believe all the stuff of sky - planners reconstruction, latest version of the software etc. but now it takes a config or setting I missed on the router which is the stop of service request to work properly, or a problem with the router itself.

    Sorry for the post of time-consuming but I wanted to capture and explain as much as possible. I'm technical with IT resonably as I work in the industry, but the network is not my area of expertise.

    Any help that can be offered is received gratefully :-)

    All,

    I just wanted to post an update...

    I finally found a resolution everthing has been resolved by adding parameters of OPENDNS server address to the list of router DNS servers. I have never needed these before always use those provided by my ISP, but I found the answer in a dark NetFlix forum - I don't yet use this service, but it seemed similar and solved the problem.

    I update incase it helps anyone else.

  • WRT54G and WRE54G does not...

    Hello

    I try to extend my network v1.02.7 WRT54G with an v3.04.01 WRE54G Expander wireless.

    SSID is disabled

    128-bit WEP encryption

    Channel 6 on both devices

    Router IP 192.168.2.2

    Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 router

    Start DHCP 192.168.2.100 IP (max 50)

    Routing Table entry list:

    WAN gateway 192.168.1.1-> 192.168.1.104-> 192.168.2.2 gateway WAN (LAN & Wireless)

    Repeater IP 192.168.2.100 (also tried 192.168.2.3)

    Repeater 255.255.255.0 subnet mask

    Repeater 192.168.2.2 Gateway

    When I turn on both devices and connect with my laptop for the Repeater everthing seems to work very well at first.

    After a few minutes tho the Repeater of fire seems to be "lost in transaltion ' and the connection

    Gets VERY slow (with I mean nothing happens more). It maintains the connection tho.

    When it is connected to the router or via cable and everything works fine.

    Any suggestions before I got this thing in the store?

    Thank you!

    Eureka! I think I got it...

    I did a few tests more with the distance between the router-> expander-> computer.

    If I was in a room with the router, expader and computer everything worked fine.

    It doesn't matter if I was connected to the router or extender or via cable.

    So I thought that the distance between the router and the expander control is REALLY crucial.

    Too close and you're not developing your network enough... too far and you won't get a connection with the Extender that actually works.

    What I did then put the router in the center of the 1st floor and the Expander in the Center

    from the 2nd floor above the router. And now after a few hours everything still works fine!

    Don't be fooled the indicator of the signal strength in Windows!

    All this did not properly although it said very well all the time...

    thx again!

  • WRT54G V8 cannot connect to the web-based configuration page?

    Earlier, I reset my router and was able to use 192.168.1.1 to visit the configuration page based on the web while trying to restore a home network, now that I have a new computer using Windows 7 that can not use the easylink advisor. I was able to get on the page update my SSID and WEP key. But when my wireless devices were still having problems to you connect to the internet, I tried to go back to the page and found that I can't seem to connect, even if my office is able to connect to other websites very well.

    Anyone know what I can do wrong? I use Verizon DSL. I was able to ping to the router and all tests have shown that it was connected fine, but I still can't get on the configuration page and my laptop can't connect to the network. I tried to reset the router again and still nothing. And Yes, I went through several cycles of power. I have also tried to move if the network card on my computer, but the computer said it was impossible to create a card for him, although at the time I had listed as a home network.

    Wireless on 192.168.1.1 connections often fail.  Using the router configuration pages, always use a computer that is connected to the WRT54G.

    If the above does not solve your problem, so here are my other tips to see the router configuration pages:

    You don't need an Internet connection. 'web Pages' of the router are integrated into the router.
    Use Internet Explorer, it usually works.
    JavaScript must be enabled.
    Use a computer that is connected to the router.
    In the non-working computer, temporarily disable your firewall software.

    Point your browser to 192.168.1.1, and then connect to your router. Your username must be left blank. Your password is "admin" (without the quotes), unless you changed it.

    If you use Zone Alarm, do a right-click on the ZA icon in the taskbar (bottom right of screen) then click on "Shutdown ZoneAlarm" and see if that solves your problem. If this does not work, try the following with Zone Alarm: open the control center ZAISS, go to privacy, then temporarily disable Ad Blocking and Cookie Control and see if it solves your problem.

    Some Zone Alarm users reported that the addition of 192.168.1.1 to their address list "of trust" solved the problem. This trick can also work with other firewalls.

    If you use Noton Internet Security with the add-on Pack, don't forget to disable the blocker and ad blocker. Some users have reported that they needed to uninstall all Norton Add-on Pack.

    If you can not get anything to 192.168.1.1 then perhaps this is not the address of the router. Go to 'Start' > all programs > Accessories > command prompt.
    A black DOS window will appear. Type "ipconfig" (with no quotes), and press the Enter key. Look at the "default gateway". It is 192.168.1.1? Point your browser to the 'default gateway', can connect you to your router.

    If the above fails, unplug your modem router, then try again. If it solves your problem, then you probably a "modem-router" rather than a regular modem. A report with this problem and also specify the brand and exact model of your modem (not router) number.

    If all above fails them, turn off your entire system, unplug it from the wall, wait a minute, then lights up, then try again.

    If all the above tips fail, then reset the default router: power down the router and unplug all the wires. Wait a minute. Switch on the router, let it fully boot (1-2 minutes), then press and hold the reset for 30 seconds button, then release the button and allow the router to reset and restart (2-3 minutes). Turn off the router. Wait a minute. To connect to a computer, cable, a router's LAN port. Initialize the system.  The router should work, but you will need to configure your router again from scratch.  If you have saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.

    If you still have problems, then you must download and install (or reinstall) the latest firmware for your router. After the update of the firmware, you must reset the default router, and then configure the router again from scratch. If you have saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.

  • Acquisition of network address and no connection bouncing back and fourth

    Hi all! I hope someone can help. I have a laptop and I take courses online in addition to the physical classes during the semester. I have my laptop connected to my network wireless at home. On the desktop, that's where hung the modem and the wireless router. Well as we all know, sometimes the connection bleeps out for a fraction of a second. Well, I can't have that all the time so today I moved the modem and the device wireless for my laptop for a dedicted connection more. No problem.

    I bought a BELKIN USB wireless adapter and wouldn't connect. He finds the modem and everything, but it would bounce back and fourth to acquire a network NOT CONNECTED address and then bounce immediately try to find the address. My provider of property intellectual has said that it is because I have a LINKSYS router, so I should have a LINKSYS adapter too. So I did an Exchange and now have the LINKSYS COMPACT WIRELESS G USB ADAPTER. Manufacturer #: WUSB54GC. My ROUTER is a LINKSYS Wireless - g Broadband routher, MODEL WRT54G and I bought the router in August of 2006 and have NO problem!

    So my problem... I have the new linksys adapter. Tried to install it on the desktop. WLAN Intel concludes very well, but it bounces back and fourth of the Acquriring network address and NOT CONNECTED every few seconds. I even install on my laptop and it does the same thing! I don't think it's the adapter. What is my router?

    If someone could please help! I would really apprecaite it! Thank you!  mmm

    I just upgraded to a pace 5268AC router and can connect is more to my Airport base station. The base station does not appear in Airport utility. Any suggestions?

    Whenever you change the modem or modem/router to which the airport links... or... change your Internet connection process, the airport must be reset to the default settings and then set it up again to work with the new device.

    Your message did not mention if you did that, but if not... to perform a Hard Reset on the router of the airport would be the first thing to do, to follow in setting up the airport once again, just as you would if the airport was new and connection to your modem/router for the first time.

  • Omen of HP 15: Wifi stop working. Win10 shows only a single network and it connects to the WiFi

    Hi guys,.
    Since a few days my wifi stopped working.
    If I click the Wifi icon it shows only a SINGLE NETWORK (two maximum), but not mine!

    And I live in a building of 20 + networks, as you can see on the WiFi Analyzer (I'm the only red to the right)



    If I reactive / disable Wifi with fn + f12, it goes back in plane and Wifi mode mode and sees it eventually all networks:



    My Wifi is on top. If it is registered, Windows connects to it and then she abandons the connection; If it is not registered, and I try to connect, it says "you are not able to connect to this network.
    Is fun is that after a few seconds, each network disappears and alone is shown (probably the one next door... I don't know).

    I already tried to RESET the laptop MATERIAL by keeping the power button for 10-15 seconds with the laptop is turned off.
    I tried to follow these instructions (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04649175) updated drivers (Intel 18.12.0.3, 18.12.1.2, 18.30.0.9 [10 default Windows], 18.32.0 [last drivers]) without success. Whenever I have install a new driver, I uninstalled the earlier software Wireless + restart.

    I tried to uncheked "allow this computer to turn off this device to save power" on my settings of Wifi hardware without success.

    HP network support said that I did not choose a Wifi (really? The problem is that I do not see my Wifi on the list!).

    This is unrelated to a new 10 Windows upgrade since I installed it months ago and this is the first time I have this problem :/ It has always worked

    I tried different settings too:
    I changed the channel, I put 802.11 g on my router, APSD off on the router.
    I put "Magic off packet, QoS ad hoc off, U-APSD off, fat wide channel, differential flow mode HT off" on the creation of the map without success. Nothing chaned.

    The hardware test detects any failure.

    Important note: If I close the router, it shows my network connection with full power and he connects to it. Then I come back in my room (probably 3/4 meters away), it MAINTAINS the connection for 30 / 40 min and he drops the connection and I cannot reconnect to it more. It has always worked perfectly in my room during these months (I bought it in March 2015), so the distance is not a problem, I'm 6 / 7 m away from the router.
    In this case, it shows my network (connected) and the nearby... and the other 20 networks +?

    The only way I have is USB tethering with my Nexus 5.

    Linux: I tried the WiFi on Freya elementary (Ubuntu linux OS base) and it displays 20 + networks available on the list. He has not the connection problem with my Wifi, but sometimes it stops working, Web pages stop loading and I have to restart Wifi to reconnect to the it (usually after 30/40 min of use it).

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    What is the problem? My Wifi card is broken? Should I call Italian support or if you have any suggestions?

    WAWood,
    I took a risk.
    I did a factory restore with recovery HP (I have a drive dedicated for her)... and it worked!
    I had to switch from Win8.1 to 10, but the Wifi problem is solved!

    I'm still guessing that was the problem...

    Now, I'm under Intel drivers 18.30.0.9 worm and all the networks work.

    In the next few days I'm checking the linux problem (reset deleted primary partition).

    The reason why I suspect the problem is that my Samsung smart TV will not connect to internet, but connects to the WiFi.

    Do I have a problem when the network preferences indicates my network with a point orange and says 'No IP Address'?  It doesn't have a green dot next to the Wi - Fi connection and it says connected.  I'm puzzled.

    My Toshiba Satellite M30-107 with Intel (r) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network connection is not connect wirelessly. I know that there is no hardware problem, because I used this laptop to different wireless networks in the past, and just recently I formatted my laptop using the recovery disk Toshiba gave with it.

    I set up the wireless entering the SSID and network key. But the wireless connects with the Excellent signal is only for a second and then disconnects, then reconnects, disconnects. After doing this for a while, it remains offline.

    How can I do to connect and stay connected as it should?

    It is not easy to say why all this happens. I also think that your laptop works well, then maybe you should check the router. Reboot the router and check the WLAN connection again.

    For a moment turn off WLAN protection and check if the same problem happens without entering the network key.
