WRT54G behind another wired router?

Hello

I have a wired network in a small office space.  I would like to buy a wireless router and put on the existing network to add a wireless network.

WRT54G can be used for this. I would have preferred if the new network was separated, but I would also if it's posible to change the settings of the router so that it begins to work as a simple access point instead.

I can't change the router of the internet service provider, and I don't want to change the settings in the router either.

Best regards.

# This is not possible with your WRT. You cannot prevent attempts to connect from the second router LAN in the first router's LAN. All the second router traffic must pass through the first router that makes everything accessible. You would need equipment to enterprise-level which allows you to filter the arbitrary traffic. But the WRT can do. I can't speak to your wired router.

If it's only on disabling wireless, you can do that in the web interface of the WRT. You can turn off the wireless radio. Then you can keep the connected WRT.

The alternative would be to get another (third) router that hosts your internet connection. Then you can connect your router wireless and wired to this third-party router effectively separating the wireless LAN and wired the other sharing the same internet connection.

  • Router WRT54GS WET54G bridge question, the bridge to connect to a wired router?

    Hi all

    I have a wireless - g LAN using a WRT54GS router.  The existing wireless devices on the local network are 2 PCs, a TiVo unit (using the TiVo wireless adapter) and 2 WET54G Wireless bridges.  A bridge connects ethernet wired to a network printer.  The other bridge connects by ethernet cable to a reader Blu - Ray Sony BDP-S550.

    Security is WPA2-AES.  so far this works well, believe it or not, but I grew a lot older, making it happen.

    Now, here's what I would do: I would like to add another device LAN cable where the second bridge WET54G connects to the Blu - Ray player.  The bridge has only an ethernet cable connection, so I have to find another way to get the two devices connected to the wireless LAN.

    I have two other devices LinkSys, kicking around here that I can use.  One is a BEFSR41 wired router.  The other is a WAP54G Wireless Access Point.   If I can use one or two of those who in some way, I won't have to buy another camera.  It is the order of the day so far.

    Right now it looks like this:

    Router WRT54GS wireless wire WET54G bridge entry WAN router BEFSR41 son to two LAN devices.

    I have problems performing this work, assuming that it can still be done.  Can I get this config to work, or what I need to add the Access Point where the bridge is now, or...?

    Thanks for your time,

    You already have a network working with your existing devices. What you're trying to include in your network is possible and can be done. Rather than plug the cable of the WET54G to the WAN port on the router, connect the cable to the router's LAN port. Disable DHCP and change the LAN ip address in the range of your existing network. It should work.

  • Wireless and wired router, DHCP and "visibility".

    Okay, it's a bit complicated, but I'll explain better than I can.

    I have a wired Linksys RV082 router. It works very well but is not wireless.  I have a Cisco/Linksys E2500 wireless router for my wireless devices to use.  the RV082 is the network of 192.168.1.x. The E2500 is the network of 192.168.0.x.  Cable Internet goes to the RV082 Wired, and a line out from there to the wireless router.  This all works fine except for a few disadvantages.

    I have an iPad that connects wireless and some of the apps offer a http:// option, so I can transfer files to this application.  I also have a network printer connected to wired and wireless devices do not.

    I have 2 problems:

    (1) in order to transfer files from my laptop (that I hung on the cable network most of the time), I disconnect the wire, wireless, then I can transfer files.  Œuvres, but it's embarrassing.

    (2) I want a netbook that I have on the wireless connection to print on my printer wired network.

    It seems that the 2 networks do not see each other.  Here are the things I've tried:

    (1) I disabled DHCP on the wireless router.  My thought is that requests for an IP address to the wireless router has sent will be transmitted along my wired router... NOT.  On my iPad and Wii, they could no longer connect wirelessly. Strangely enough, with the disconnected wire and wireless connection with my laptop, I've still was getting a 192.168.0.x IP address, even if the DHCP service is disabled on the wireless router.

    (2) thinking I would put manually the wireless router on the 192.168.1.x network, instead of saying things to get an Internet connection IP dynamicaly, I manually the IP value is 192.168.1.245.  Serious mistake.  I couldn't connect at all anywhere then.  The only way I could fix it was to hang on to my laptop computer, assign a static IP address to my laptop on the same network as the router, then I was able to get to the configuration page and to put things like he was.

    Another thing... Even when I'm connected only plugged on my laptop and wireless is disabled, I ping 192.168.0.1 (the wireless gateway) and it returns a value. But, when I try to go in a browser, I get a "page not found" error

    So, how can I get these two networks to play well and see each other?

    Thank you

    Jesse

    Put the router E2500 'bridge' mode and it will transmit the RV082.

    Assign E2500 DHCP, an IP address for itself of thje RV082, it will just be for access to the web administration E2500. System powered via the E2500 wired or wireless IP addresses will be obtained from the DHCP server on the RV082, and these will all be on the same subnet as designed to be plugged into the side of the RV082 LAN.

    Should allow you to do exactly what you want to do.

    I have a similar setup here works well with an E4200V2 right now.

  • BEFSR41 wired router affected by change of modem cable

    Hi all

    You don't know if someone here can help me with a problem with the router above following a change of modem, I can get things to work, but once everything is turned off, the next time it starts things are back to how they were.

    To give a bit of history...

    My setup is a G4 Mac and a Xbox 360 Elite connected to a wired router BEFSR41, which in turn is connected to my cable modem, I am based in the United Kingdom so my ISP is Virgin Media.

    This configuration has been absolutely rock solid for more than 3 years, but last Sunday, I was unable to connect to internet and I noticed that the light on the modem was flashing instead of be constant, as it is supposed to be.

    I called Virgin and they did a test signal and confirm there is a problem and sent an engineer. He arrived Tuesday and confirmed the modem was very old and had packed and replaced by a new. We rebooted everything and everything was fine, I could email and get out on the internet as before.

    It worked fine the next day too but on Thursday morning, despite the fire loan being constant on the modem, I couldn't online again. I called Virgin and they did another test signal and said that something did not look right and they would send another engineer.

    He came Friday (different GUY), but confirmed that there is nothing wrong with the modem, the signal is OK just to verify, plugged the Mac directly into the modem, bypassing the router and I could get on the internet without problem.

    It seems that the router is at fault, but I have to say that it is a massive coincidence that it has stopped working correctly two days after the modem has been change, so I was looking at the configuration of the router via my browser page, and the only thing I did was to confirm under Type of Internet connection that "automatically an IP address to get" has been selected and I saved the settings and bingo everything works well again.

    So I put off, Mac, router and modem and switched back them and I'm at square one, no internet access. If I go to the router setup page again, "get automatically an IP address' is still selected and if I hit again 'save settings' everything works fine.

    I then started to bounce back each element separately and by turning the router or the mac on / off does not affect access, I am still able to get on the net, but as soon as I bounce the modem, I'm in the place again until I have click on 'save' on the router set up page.

    It's just my head in - what is the modem to the router to make it 'lose' its parameters and specifically, how to fix?

    I must say I don't remember when I bought the router through any complex installation, it is basically out of the box, go hooked upward and worked for 3 years and more.

    Any suggestions would be very welcome.

    Nick

    As far as I know, it seems that you have a cable modem.

    Your BEFSR41 should work with your modem when the BEFSR41 has been reset by default.  In addition, in some cases, you may need to 'clone' of the MAC address of the computer (the one that works when you connect it to the modem) in your BEFSR41.

    To reset your router by default, follow these steps:

    (1) turn off all computers, the router and the modem and disconnect from the wall.
    (2) disconnect all the wires of the router.
    (3) turn on the router and let it start up completely (1-2 minutes).
    (4) press in and hold the reset for 30 seconds button, then release it, then let the router reset and restart (2-3 minutes).
    (5) turn the router.
    (6) connect a computer cable to port 1 of the router (NOT to the internet port).
    (7) turn on the router and let it start up completely (1-2 minutes).
    (8) the power of the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it's off).
    (9) try ping on the router. To do this, click the 'Start' button > all programs > Accessories > command prompt. A black DOS window will appear. Enter the following text: "ping 192.168.1.1" (without the quotes) and press the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that begin with ' response to... ". "or"Request timed out". If you see "reply from...". ", your computer has found your router.
    (10) open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to the login page of your router. Let the empty user name (Note: some routers have a username "admin") and in the password field, enter "admin" (without the quotes). This will take you to your router configuration page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually found near upper right corner of the screen).

    (11) If you need to clone the MAC address of your computer, do this step now.

    (12) If you get this far without problems, quit your browser and put your entire network.  Then, using an ethernet cable, connect the ethernet port of your modem to the Internet port on the BEFSR41.  Leave your computer connected to a LAN of the BEFSR41 ports.  If your modem has a USB port, do not connect anything to it.  If your modem works with a battery, remove it now, and then wait one minute, then replace the battery.  Turn on your modem and let it start up completely (1-5 minutes).  Turn on your BEFSR41 and let it start up completely (1-2 minutes).  Turn on your computer.  Try to connect to the Internet.  If you have a problem, temporarily disable your firewall software computer and try again to connect.  If you still have problems, see 'The replacement boot order' below.

    If you can not ' response to... ". "in step 9 above, your router is probably dead. A report with this problem

    If you get a response in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, is that your router is dead or the firmware is damaged. Related to this issue.

    If you need additional help, please give the results of steps 9 and 10. In addition, if you receive error messages, copy them exactly, and report.

    Please let me know how things turn out for you.

    Changing the boot order *.

    The boot order (modem, router, then computer) that I mentioned above is the classic boot order, and it works with most of the networks.  Some networks will work well if you turn on all devices at the same time.  However, the other networks is very picky about the way in which they are started, and they may also require a different boot order.  Sometimes, it can require a lot of experimenting until you find the boot order that works.  For example, I had once a system requiring that I start the router first, wait 5 minutes, and then start the modem and the computer.  Try different orders on your system until you find what works.

  • EX90 behind a DSL router

    Hello

    I want to use EX90 to make a video call over an internet connection. The EX90 is installed behind a DSL router. The DSL router uses a public IP address while the EX90 lies in the private address space. The DSL router performs NAT

    But when I try to make a video call, the call is connected but I do not see any video and diagnostics, I see that a single audio track out of my camera.

    do we need any specific configuration on the EX90 to work in this scenario?

    I have to configure public DSL router address as address H323 NAT for that to work?

    Thank you

    Ambi

    If you had another top config before I'd start with a factory default reset.

    I would like to disable SIP:

    XConfiguration NetworkServices SIP Mode: Off

    And configure NAT:

    xConfiguration H323 NAT Mode: auto

    xConfiguration H323 NAT address: "88.66.55.33."

    xConfiguration H323 profile 1 PortAllocation: static

    As you say, 88.66.55.33 ports transmits to 192.168.1.10

    These are the required ports:

    For direct H.323 calls, the ports used are:

    • Q.931 call Setup: Port 1720 (TCP)
    • H.245 (static): port 5555-6555 range (TCP)

    or if you want to use dynamic: H.245 (Dynamic): range of ports (TCP) 11000-20999

    • Media (Audio/video/data/FECC) *: port 2326-2485 range (UDP)

    * Configurable by "Range of Ports RTP Start" and "Stop RTP Ports range".

  • Wired router with POE and Gigabit ethernet to run two AC1750 access points?

    Hello, I'm looking for a recommendation for a wired router with POE and Gigabit ethernet to connect to both access to ceiling LinkSys AC1750 points internet routing on the WAN to a Virgin Media UK cable connection plug - can someone advise a good solution?

    I'm a Home Office / Small Office so user there are several Wired's devices and a mixture of wireless clients. I need at least 8 ethernet outlets. Reliablity and speed performance are important, but not important enough to go overboard on the cost!

    Many thanks to you all.

  • VPN bewtween 2 PIX - 1 behind a NAT router.

    Hello

    I created 2 PIX with a VPN tunnel between them and it worked. Small was during a test well before that of PIX has been shipped to the location where it has been implemented (with of course the new addresses IP etc.)

    Now this PIX is placed behind a Zyxel router running NAT, and the tunnel will not simply come to the top. It is never further than the State of 'mm_sa_setup '.

    I am aware that the only thing that is different from when he worked is the NAT router damn, so I should be aware of this router? I'm going nuts: 0)

    Oh and btw. I use ESP-3des-sha.

    Thanks in advance,

    Rasmus

    When you activate the NAT - T, Cisco PIX automatically opens port 4500 on all active IPSec interfaces so you should be sure that the UDP 4500 port is not blocked between two PIX.

    Kind regards

  • Ports from Site to site behind another PIX

    Have a client who we are going to set up a site to site VPN. The remote site is behind another PIX firewall that has private inside IP addresses. Next to the static nat, which ports must be open in order to make a site to site?

    If the VPN tunnel ends on PIX - B, then PIX - A must be opened for the following ports (in two senses - incoming and outgoing).

    -The ESP protocol (that's the protocol 50)

    -Port UDP 500

    -UDP 4500 port

    Thus, orders ACLs on PIX - A will be:

    outside_ACL udp IP_of_SiteA-PIX IP_of_PIX-B eq 500 allowed access list

    outside_ACL list of permitted access eq of IP_of_PIX from IP_of_SiteA-PIX-B udp 4500

    outside_ACL list of permitted access esp IP_of_SiteA-PIX-IP_of_PIX-B

    That should do the trick.

  • Behind another router Linksys WRT54G

    The WRT 54 is given and we are trying to expand to cover more computers of our Linksys 8 original report rouoter and add wireless. Connected to the internet WRT in a port of the original router and it shows the IP address as 192.168.1.1xx for each additional computer hook us up with ethernet and IP wireless is also of this sequence of IP addressing. But we can not access the Internet. The 54 WRT as a stand-alone router works fine, Internet wireless and ethernet connections.

  • E2700 cannot connect directly to the modem, but connects via another wifi router?

    I have a Netgear WNDR3700v2 that I was very pleased until I had a nest of thermostat. Apparently it's a router not supported and I had to change it. I bought an E2700 since he took charge, but I have a huge dilemma...

    If I connect the linksys directly to the modem, I don't get an internet connection. I got out and renewed IPs without success...

    But if I wired the linksys for the netgear, I get a good solid internet connection. problem is, I have no need for installation of 2 routers on top of each other...

    any suggestions? I would like to know what kind of information you need.

    Basically, I do not understand why he is not able to connect directly to the modem to linksys. Yet, it becomes solid connection wired through another router.

    I use Comcast and South FL. it is motorola surfboard modem

    OK, found the solution.

    call 1800COMCAST

    go to the problems of the internet, there is an option to send a refresh signal to your modem.

    I did, and it started working. I guess that clears the memory and binds to the new MAC address...

    After that I did, internet is back. I hope this will be useful to someone. I was ready to return the dang thing.

  • Linksys BEFSX41 wired router - fixation using OpenDNS only

    Question: I want to configure wired Linksys BEFSX41 router so that clients must use OpenDNS.  I've already implemented the DNS1 and DNS2 with appropriate OpenDNS ip addresses. 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

    Basically, the requirement must allow the OpenDNS DNS server above addresses and refuse all other DNS server addresses. Is it possible to configure the router to do this or should I find another solution?

    N ° the BEF does not have a CLI. You can only configure it through the web interface. And there is no option to configure something like this.

    who is wrong?

    Please follow the instructions in my previous post.  (Note: the solution posted by death is a 'unique network' - it does not create two separate networks, so it does not work for you.)

    Since you want two separate networks, you must use two different SSIDS.  In addition, please choose a unique SSID.  Please do not use "linksys" or any variant of "linksys".  This will only cause you problems at some point in the future.  Use something unique, like "topgun" or "Lampshade."

  • behind the bridge router will not connect.
