• Computer "is" more low-signal router instead of range extender

  I've seen a few similar posts; but nothing seems exactly like my problem; or I missed it.

  I have a router WRT54G and WRE54G range extender; seem to be working well and talk to each other.  (Took a while, but I got it; and it has been fine since.)   I connected to the signal stronger WRE fast when Internet and slow Internet when WRT connected to the lower signal (which is further) - just like one would expect.

  The problem: my computer (only place Office) will be unrelated to the stronger signal "Range Extender".  I'll work some time or leave and come back - and the link will be back signal Extender, fast router signal slow, lower.  I can click on my profile; Connect and sometimes come back on the most powerful signal.  (If not, try again and again until it crashes into the most powerful signal.)  [Even with "site survey" - I select Connect to the stronger signal, but it seems to connect randomly either.]

  - & - Another post, I think I could do something with the MAC addresses - for example, block my USB MAC of the router wireless receiver, so he 'only' to connect to the Extender.  (Better yet, I can say my network connection to connect only to the MAC of the extender?)

  Operating system is - 2000

  Here's something I put in place earlier - for the most part just repeats above:

  Equipment:

  LinkSys wireless router; WRT54G; 6 worm.  Firmware 1.00.7 (now 1.02.7)

  LinkSys Range Extenders;  WRE54G; Firmware Ver 3 3.01.01 (now 3.04.01.)

  USB LinkSys network adapter: WUSB54G Ver 4

  -WHY it keep coming back to the lowest signal from router?  (The big question).

  -Why, when I do a site survey, select the strongest signal and select Connect, enter the WEP code, he still occasionally connect back right at the lowest signal from router, even if I've highlighted the stronger signal Repeater when I hit the Connect button?

  -If I create profiles with the most powerful signal, it is always the same (that is, sometimes it connects the signal the most powerful signal "Extender" and sometimes the Repeater weaker signal, except that I do not need to enter the WEP code if I connect to the profile instead of the signal of view survey.)

  -According to information online, I found that the router must be on 'Firmware version 2.02.2' to be compatible WRE;   But - if I check for the latest version of the firmware for WRT54G version 6, it is 1.02.7 - does that mean the Extender is incompatible with my router?

  -Are there a way to "force" the wireless network connection to bind to a specific MAC address - so I can restrict to a stronger signal of the Extender?

  Scrooge, thanks for the suggestions.    Earlier, I tried the following solution, based on a similar condition a few - this on another post:

  Solution: Configure the router MAC filtering does not to allow connections to the MAC address of the wireless USB network card.

  Since I tried this a few days ago I was followed and it worked.  So, before he would keep switching to the smaller Repeater link.  In saying the Repeater from the heat to let the link not only the Extender to post a link and it is now to stay connected to the Extender and the speed remains constant.

• East - what to expect two WRE54G range extensions I have installed?

  I bought a WRE54G Range Extender for home use with a router WRT54G home. My laptop and iPhone had low signal strength in the room at the other end of the House of the router. I put everything in place, it seemed to work ok, so I bought another to do the same thing at work.

  Now that I've had a couple of weeks, trying to use the bar end of range with several iPhone and several laptops, including 3 hours on the phone with Linksys support (level 2) yesterday, I'm disappointed by my results. I have the same problem on two systems on both devices, configured to the Linksys and the routers wireless of Fortinet. Here's what I mean.

  If I start a laptop or an iPhone to range of the router, I join the network very well. So if I wear the device closer to the Range Extender, the signal becomes stronger after a minute or two, and my problem is solved. But then the device loses the signal from the network at the end of 3 to 10 minutes, she resumed, but now I do not get an IP address, so I can't do anything. The only way to get back on the network must carry the device to the router, reconnect, and then carry the rear of the unit until close to the Range Extender. Home Range Extender is now about 25 feet from the router. At the office, it is about 70 feet away.

  On one of my laptops at home, if the laptop is connected via wi - fi with the average signal strength, when I turn on the range extender, after a few seconds the laptop stands wi - fi altogether. Then it shows that it is connected but doesn't 0.0.0.0 for the IP 169.x.x.x. usually the only way to get this laptop at work is to turn off the Range Extender.

  On my iPhone, I have a wireless diagnostic application. From there, I can see all the wi - fi signals, a couple of weak force those neighbors. I have my network on a channel not used. The router and the range extender are defined with the same string, security settings. They both come with the same name.

  I would be able to connect to the Range Extender instead of having to connect to the router first, and then switch to the Range Extender? Is it normal to keep losing signal every 3-10 minutes? I've never had any of this wrong with the router, only with the Range Extender.

  Maybe that I need another device and the Range Extender is not supposed to do what I'm trying to do. Someone at - he had experiences or ideas to share?

  As a last step, I have updated the drivers for the card wireless on my laptop. Now everything works fine.

• Question and Wireless N router and Extender G

  Hi all

  I would like to install internet ADSL2 + wireless in a hotel. I was thinking of doing this:

  Buying a router Wireless N ADSL2 + and extending it by buying a Wireless Extender G. Now when you visit the Extender G page it indicates the routers supported etc, only G routers are listed. Routers Wireless N do not work?

  If someone has a better idea to solve my problem please, say so.

  Internet to the 1st floor and must be extended to 4 other floors. The 1st floor to ceiling 2nd floor should not be a problem and the 2nd to 3rd and from 3rd to 4th should also not be a problem.

  Just buy a router Wireless G with Speedbooster and 3-4 Wireless G expanders?

  Thank you!

  Yes the Wireless G Extender works with the wireless G router. That you are considering buying an N series router, then you can go for an Access Point WAP200, you can set this access point in Repeater mode, and it will solve your purpose.

• I am trying to add a N300 wireless range extender to my house.

  I am trying to add a range-extender N300 WiFi at my home.  I have a router from apple.  I am trying to connect with WPS. I am looking for a WPS button on the router from apple (according to instructions), but fails.  Is it possible to use this extension?

  The N300 has a web interface, you should be able to see the network transmitted the Apple it. Note that it may not work. Another unit of Apple would be simpler and better.

• Problem setting up WNR614 as Wifi Repeater / Range Extender

  Hello

  I have a Modem ADSL2 + Wifi (Beetel 450tc1) that I use to connect to my computer. Recently I bought a new Netgear
  WNR614 Wifi router and you want to use as a range extender. I have connected the netgear wireless cable modem Repeater and
  another cable router netgear for computer. He opened routerlogin.net initially.

  In literature, he mentioned that I should use the same SSID, channel, encryption method, and password of the netgear
  router. As soon as I put the Repeater on the same channel, my computer shuts down opening routerlogin.net and it gives page not
  found the error.

  Also the router to start up it gives message that ' to avoid a conflict with your ISP, your router IP.
  address has been updated to 10.0.0.1'. My modem IP address is 192.168.1.1. So, when I try to change the IP address of the netgear router
  address to 192.168.1.2, it gives me error "the conflict of ip address with the WAN IP subnet. Please enter a different ip address
  address. Invalid starting IP address DHCP".

  When I remove the use of router as a DHCP server, it gives me error - "the conflict of ip address with the WAN IP subnet. Please
  Enter a different ip address.

  When I try to activate "Enable wireless repeating", it gives me erorr - "repeat wireless function cannot be.
  used with Auto Channel". But when I change the channel of the car on the same channel from my modem (channel 1), my computer
  stop opening routerlogin.net and I can't access the netgear router configuration settings anymore. The only option I have left with
  is to reset the router.

  Please help me.

  Thank you

  OK, unplug the WNR614 of all, do a factory reset, then connect a PC to the LAN port and proceed to reconfigure.

• RE6500: Can we put a band exclusively to the router and the second band exclusively for customers?

  The RE6500 reissue just the two strips of dual band router or can we put an exclusive router/extender traffic band and another band exclusively for wireless clients?

  Hi RpDn. The range extender has to a Cross group feature that allows him to choose the appropriate path for transmitting data between the device and the wireless router, but it doesn't have an option where you can manually configure the settings t. With the new models of range extender, this option is already available. See this link for more information: http://www.linksys.com/no/support-article?articleNum=156245

• 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!

• Printer wireless B109n-z Edimax Range extender access point

  I can't get my printer to connect to the range extender.  It's an EW-7416APn V2.  All my other iPods to computers etc. all find and connect fine it's just the printer.

  The printer connects to my router (netgear Sky) so I know the side of the printer wireless works.  IV ' e been through the implementation of many times and failed to get the connection.

  Network test report suggests the SSID is not found, but everything it is no problem.

  Any ideas?

  I also tried the button but WPA setup routine that will not work either!

  Sort the problem.  There was nothing wrong with the Edimax Repeater or the printer.  I had placed the printer on the shelf under the TV in the winter garden.  Above the plateau is an area of sky with a transmitter of Gig AV 2.4 connected to it (to send Sky TV for the kitchen).  Turn off the transmitter AV enabled a connection with the Repeater.  FYI, the distance between the transmitter AV and the printer was around 250 mm.  I have now moved the transmitter AV of the printer (connecting via a cable SCART, rather than directly to the area of the sky).

  Operational wireless printer!

• Orbi router and satellites for a condominium of 40 units

  I am considering Orbi router and satellites for a condominium of 40 units.

  What are the limits on the number of satellites, and how the energy distribution (which carries the signal from the router to the satellite) on the signal, since it needs to go through a panel of circuit breaker between the router and each satellite?

  I guess all tests (so far) be on the side of the user to a single panel. In the case of joint ownership, each distribution panel is a subgroup of experts of the main breaker box.

  Hello JimLudden

  From what I gather from your question, you think Orbi is a power Extender line? Orbi does not work it on the power line, you can watch these Ko to get a better understanding of what can make the device.

• Installed New Netgear Wireless Range extender but new network doesn't have internet access.

  I just installed a machine net universal range extender for WiFi and the signal over the Wan is very strong, but when I connect to him he says that have no internet access. What should I change? I post what I'm on the Ext network.but when I try to access other sites, it won't let me.

  I had the same problem as you and searched everywhere for a positive response and have not had a. I was about to return the netgear Extender when I, fortunately, has found a way around this strange problem.
  In fact, it's really simple, and I encourage really all those who eventually get this problem complain to netgear not having their detailed in the guide installation process that they shipped with the product.

  In my case, I have a WEP encrypted network.

  If you can't access the web interface of the Extender, you need to reset the device by inserting a paper clip in the small hole next to the WPS button (if you don't know already).

  When you are prompted for the encryption key and password for the network existing (the original one), you MUST WRITE THE PAST ON THE INPUT FIELD KEY word select and not the field the password. You can choose one of the 4 input key fields, but you MUST write the password on one of them and leave the field blank password (I think it's just for the WEP encryption, which is my case).

  I also changed the encryption type for the new network "_EXT" from WEP to WPA/TKIP but kept the same password.

  After the connection is complete the Extender successfully verified updates and all the IP addresses are assigned automatically via DHCP.

  I hope that I answered in the time before returning the Extender because I don't have a kind of complained after doing this.

  Good luck

• RE6500 Setup\IP Address\Range Extender

  I have a RE6500 used with a WRT AC 1900 as the router. The range is too far to reach the other floors and the pieces away from the House.

  So the questions are: should I use a static IP address for the RE6500?

  Should I Park the RE6500 and replace it with a Powerline Ethernet as the PLWK400 adapter?

  Should I connect the RE6500 to a Powerline Ethernet adapter?

  What I read on the Powerline Ethernet adapter, it is to be on the same circuit breaker. I guess that this circuit breaker is in the electric Panel. If I can't be on the same circuit breaker, and then abandon the idea.

  Any other suggestion to reach the other side of the House?

  You can use the RE6500 where it works better; with not too much or too little signal. I recommend giving it a static IP address so you can always connect.

  Adapter PowerLine work at the level of the electrical panel, but may have problems between sub-panels. Of course, they work better on the same circuit. They work well with circuit breakers and the old or bad connection.

  I recommend that you run a CAT5e cable (preferred) or by using the Powerline adapters. Then put an Access Point to the new location. I do not recommend combination unit PowerLine\Wireless bridge.

• The WRT54GL router DHCP Active IP table show those wired?

  Hello.

  On my old router Linksys WRT54GL (with its latest stock firmware) of http://192.168.1.1/DHCPTable.asp for DHCP active IP Table, it shows that wireless connections. How is it does not show wired those?

  Thank you in advance.

  Make sure that the wired computers are not on the static ip configuration, there is no IP permanently assigned to them. They should all be on DHCP, obtain the IP address of the router. If that's ok. It could be with the fw of the router. I suggest you can reflash but if it does not resolve the issue, reset the router and then reconfigure. Because on the DHCP client table, it should show all the connected devices wired and wireless through the router.

  Here is the link to the download site.

• Linksys WRE54G Range Expander

  I have set up with linksys E4200, but it does not connect to my computer, the blue light showing but the link light will market

  Well well its compatibility problem... Because the router that you have a router Wireless N technology and the amplifier you are trying to install is wireless G technology... So it won't go to work... However, you can get a with N-technology wireless range Expander that works with your router and the model number for the same is RE1000.
