• Router WRT54GS, how to set up the infrastructure mode.

  Hello

  I'm new in this forum.  I have been using this router for many years.  I have two desktop computers and a laptop computer, the first two connected by cable, wireless laptop.  I got a lcd tv got a (wireless) lan connector and want to access the internet with my TV as well.  The manual of the TV says that he accepts the router mode infrrastructure and no ad-hoc.  According to me, the first time that I have configured the router was punctual and now I want to change to the infrastructure.   I've looked everywhere and many people say to go to set up the wizard provided in the cd of the router but I did and I don't see the option to select the option at all.  Could someone help me to find a way to fix it?  I'd really appreciate it.

  Thank you guys for your help.  Tonight, I tried several times until it worked.  No idea, but it works now.  Case is closed.  Thanks again.

• Need help to set up: 2 different wireless with SSID 2 routers on the same network

  Hi all:

  I read on the forum trying to find the answer to this question, but have not found a very clear answer that satisfies all my requirements autour.  An explanatiion more in depth.

  I have 1 IP coming via cable modem.  I want to configure two wireless routers (one secured with WPA-TKIP and a non-secure network - a 'guest' If you want to) each with different SSID.  The secure network would be for my server, PC home, webcams IP, DynDNS, update; While having an unsecured wireless router that friends and family can access.  Ideally, I don't want any person who accesses the router unsecured wireless to access my secure network.

  Is someone can you please tell me if this is possible.  I think that it is based on some posts, I've seen, but specific details about how to do this would be appreciated.  In addition, my DynDNS must always be able to be updated with the IP of my ISP so that I can access my server and webcams home.

  MATERIAL

  2 WRT54G

  1 EZXS55W

  1 WVC200

  1 WVC54GC

  (all my stuff - webcam, dyndns, server, etc. - working on my secure network.) I just need to add the non-secure network)

  I know it's a lot, but I'd appreciate any help.  Thank you.

  You must be connected to the modem router WRT54G main. Set up the network secure on the main router wireless. Connect all of your computers or wireless devices for the main secure wireless network.

  Consider that the IP address of the main router is 192.168.1.1.

  Now connect a single computer to Port 1 on the second router wireless.

  Open the second wireless router configuration page. Settings wireless SSID, unsecured.

  Change the IP address of the second router 192.168.2.1. Save the settings.

  Connect the cable from the Ethernet port on the main router to the Internet second port router wireless.

  The second power cycle wireless router.

  Now the host computers connected to the second network unsecured wireless Wireless will be able to access the Internet only. They will not be able to see the computers or devices connected to the first router.

• connection iPhone WRT54G problem

  I have an iPhone 3GS that I am trying to connect to my home network but have a problem.

  My router is a WRT54G that is set up with WPA2 Personal.  I have connected a laptop computer and two TiVo for this network using the key I have the Setup on the router but I can't my iPhone to connect to the network.  Am I right in thinking that when fror iPhone ask you the password, it actually asks the key?

  If this is the case, the phone sees the network but will not accept the key.  I just get a message saying that it is impossible to connect to the network.

  Am I missing some sort of setting?

  Hello!

  Please check the version of the firmware on your router and its hardware version (if it is low version, be sure to update its firmware for more later). Before upgrading the firmware, try disabling wireless security and check if all devices will connect including your iphone 3GS. If it works, it can be a security problem, try tweeking the algorithm for WPA2 Personal (you can use only AES or TKIP and AES or TKIP).

  Once you are done with this option, and even your iphone 3GS does not connect, it may be that the router is not compatible with the latest iphone 3GS. Try to connect your iphone 3GS to other networks and network your friend if possible use an (old or new) Linksys router.

  In any case, there is no harm to the checking options. My friends meet same question you have, but it worked after that we tried the steps above. Good luck!

• Setting up Port Forwarding on router WRT54G, working with a WVC54GCA Wireless CAmers

  I have the equipment in question and you need to know a few things when it come to put in place for Internet access. Before I aske the question, however, I have the following IP addresses associated with this project: WVC54GCA - 192.168.2.102, router WRT54G - 192.168.2.1, the questions are:

  1. How do you define Port Forwarding on every element.
  2. Should the two articles have static IP addresses.
  3. Once the port forwarding is set, what is the structure of the URL to access the camera?

  Any help would be appreciated, summer tear my hair on it. Seems simple, but obviously not. I'm missing something.

  Thank you

  For port forwarding, you will first need to set the camera to a fixed LAN IP address (static).

  If your router uses the range of 192.168.2.100 thanks 192.168.2.149 DHCP servers, then 192.168.2.102 is an unauthorised fixed address.  With the Linksys routers, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the range of the DHCP server.

  Here are the rules of use of the fixed LAN IP addresses with Linksys routers.  (Note: these rules were written for the 192.168.1.x subnet.)  Since you're using the 192.168.2.x subnet, change all addresses accordingly):

  With Linksys, routers, a fixed (static) IP LAN addresses must be assigned in the device that uses the address. If you need to enter the fixed address to the computer, printer or camera, not in the router.

  When you use a Linksys router, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server rank (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and may not end with 0, 1 and 255.

  That's why any fixed LAN IP address would normally be of the order of
  192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
  192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
  assuming that you always use the default DHCP server line.

  In addition, in the computer, when you configure a static LAN IP address, you need to set the "Subnet mask" 255.255.255.0 and the 'default gateway' on 192.168.1.1 and "DNS server" to 192.168.1.1.  Note that some network devices can not use server proxy DNS at 192.168.1.1.  In this case, the value "DNS server" your real address of Internet DNS server (found in the router when connected to the Internet).

  It is also important that the same value static LAN IP address no two devices on your network.

  **********************

  After you gave your camera at a fixed LAN IP address, then go in "Port Redirection" in the router and configuring the ports one (or more) to the address LAN IP fixed camera.

  In order to access your camera from the Internet, you will need to either:

  (1) get a fixed Internet IP address (static) address from your ISP and configure your router to use this address, or

  (2) use a free service such as DDNS.  DDNS allows you to use a dynamic Internet IP address, but can connect you by using the same URL.

  I hope this helps.

• Set up the trouble with wrt54g

  I'm stuck in the game part of the adv easylink network set up.

  It detects my static IP address, but said that I have no connection active interenet. I'm now on the internet so I have no connection. any ideas?

  Thanks for the info. Somehow, I was able to get things to work. Thanks again.

• (WRT54G) I need to set it up so that I get the same IP all the time for 1 computer on my network.

  I have 4 computer I have linked to the WRT54G. 2 2 with network cables and wireless. One of these computers I use as a server and I would get the same IP address to the server all the time. As 192.168.1.150. Now it depends on when I turn on my computer what IP they get. Is there a way to get a static IP address?

• Connection with a switch EZXS55W or a second router WRT54G to my router network WTR300N home?

  I have a home office in my basement with my computer connected to a lan of my WRT300N router that is set up on the first floor and networking with three additional computers to the floor as well. I want to add 2 additional computers in my basement and wireless is not a good set upward because the signal strength is very low. I have great reception on the floor and even on the second floor where my children are connected from their rooms. My question is: I have an older WRT54G Router I use is more and want to know if I can connect it to my WRT300N using the lan line ran down in the basement which is connected to one of the Ethernet ports of the WRT300N? If so, how the connection and set up the second router? Also, I can use Ethernet cables to connect my three computers to the second router or what I need to use the wireless of the second router? I was looking at the switch EZXS55W at the Wal-Mart local and thought that was my answer, but after a search through all the answers of the basis of knowledge here, I'm confused on the approach to take and which one would be the best game for me. Here, any help would be great!

  With the EZX you extended your wired LAN. You can still use the WRT54G to add another point for other cable ports and wireless access. Just do these 4 steps as stated in my previous post.

  You can connect the WRT54G the WRT300N or the EZX. Basically, it's all the same. You don't have to turn off the switch before you connect a device.

  If you want to use the additional wireless WRT54G, you can try to set up a roaming wireless network. Implement the WRT with identical settings as on the WRT300N wireless, i.e. identical SSID and wireless security the same (preferably WPA2) personal with a good password. Do not turn off the SSID broadcast on either WRT. Only the allocation of channels should be different at a time to avoid any interference. Now the devices should be able to move from one access point to another without losing the network connection.

  However, if you perform this configuration test carefully. I don't know how it works if you have a N Router and a G. If this does not work, use different SSID on both. You can then choose which SSID to connect to on the client.

• Disable DHCP on WRTU54G behind WRT54G, impossible to get the blue light

  I spent several hours today trying to set up my second router (WRTU54G) behind the first router (WRT54G) with the DHCP offshore on the second router, but blue light don't come. My first router is connected to the modem. There is nothing wrong with the phone service, it works with a LAN WAN Setup on my routers and the blue light comes on. But I'm trying to get everything on my network to answer and turn on sharing, so I'll try the config LAN to LAN on the two routers with DHCP disabled on the second. No blue on light. I also tried the Bridge mode on the second router but that did not work. By browsing these forums, I opened the ports 5060-5061 and 16384-16482 on my first router but I don't know what IP address to assign them. What I'm trying to do is to use my router second, WRTU54G of VOIP, like a switch, but also use it for telephone service. I know that I can just swap the routers and that should work, but y at - it another way?

  Thanks for the reply, but that has not worked for me. But I finally got to work now, after some more googling and play with the settings. I have stuck on the 'Bridge' on the WRTU54G mode but kept the connection between the two routers on LAN to WAN connection. This didn't work at first but after only 20 minutes to leave and the blue light came all my computers are on DHCP IPs the first router too.

• Suggestion for setting up a good secured router including wireless routers

  I've owned three routers LinkSys Wireless since May 2007: two WRT54G (V6 and V8) and my current V1 E3000.  All provided configuration options that can do if it is very difficult, if not impossible, for unauthorized access to my WiFi routers.

  All changes must then your system is connected to one of the router's Ethernet ports and not through WiFi due to the modification point #3 of "General Suggestions.

  All the elements in square brackets by "<>" are the titles of LinkSys Admin web pages or sections of web pages.  Don't forget to click "Save Settings" on a single web page before you go to another web page or your changes will be lost.

  Please note that not all pages of the LinkSys Router Web Admin can use the titles of Section-page/website such as used in this suggestion.

  Make sure you know MAC address and physics of your wireless adapter so that it will be necessary for the point #3 «Proposals WiFi»  Assuming that you have a Microsoft Windows-based system, use a 'Command Prompt' to issue command ' ipconfig/all' to determine the MAC address (aka physical) of your adapter WiFi wireless connected to a router.

  After all the suggested changes, repeat the process to ensure that the changes have been saved.

  GENERALS.

  (1) < administration/mgmt=""> change the Admin password to one of your choice.

  (2) access to disable HTTP and HTTPS allow access.  After that it changed was recorded, you must reconnect to the router via note https://192.168.1.1 URL using httpS or http (without S) for a secure connection to the router admin web pages.

  (3) in Wireless disable access to the Admin web pages.  Must use the Ethernet port on the router.

  (4) in disable remote management AND disable UPnP - UPnP (a well-known Protocol should can route diversion if enabled).

  Specific suggestions of WiFi.

  (1) in turn off the SSID broadcast.  This will prevent the intruders 'driveby' to see the SSID of LinkSys Router.  Make sure that change you the default SSID of your choice.

  (2) in set your security level to the WPA or WPA2 (preferred WPA2).  Do NOT use WEP because it's encryption algorithm can be cracked in less than 5 seconds.  This will protect your transmissions between your system and the router.  The E series routers are supported both WPA/WPA2 depending on the client configuration.  My WRT54G routers would support only WPA or WPA2.

  (3.) in Select AES, TKIP not as security consultants have recently discovered a flaw in TKIP encryption crackable.

  4.) Select a passphrase that you and systems all allowed must be used to secure your router connections.

  (5) in the enable filtering MAC and "Allow only PC" whose MAC addresses are defined in the .  Both of these changes will require that you register addresses MAC and physical of all wireless clients that allow you to connect to your network router.  Failure to record the physical address/MAC system will refuse this system to access your network, even if they have the correct passphrase AES and SSID.

  1. disable the SSID broadcast is useless. Any Drivede will detect always immediately the access point because it should send signals of tag.

  It is trivial to force a wireless client to reveal the SSID. Thus, any hacker will be able to learn the SSID almost immediately after it has detected the presence of your router.

  In addition, to disable the SSID broadcast causes known problems of connection/reconnection with several wireless devices.

  In addition, broadcast disable SSID drains the batteries in your wireless devices as they have to actively seek a connection to your SSID to know whether here or now.

  As long as your wireless device is not connected to a wireless network, it will be continues to try to connect to your SSID at regular intervals. For example, if you have your iPhone set up to connect to your home network and you pull out your iPhone permanently tries to connect to your SSID, transmitting the requests of the association on a regular basis, actually bloating on your "hidden SSID' to anyone.

  As transmitting something takes a lot more power then passively scanning and tuned radio waves, it drains the battery. If you need good battery life with your ever wireless devices connect them to a network with SSID broadcast disabled, or make sure that the device does not automatically connect to it!

  Never disable the SSID broadcast, especially not for security reasons, because they do not offer any added safety or an advantage.

  2. the MAC address filtering does nothing more. MAC addresses are always in the unencrypted part of wireless packet. Any attacker will immediately learn the MAC addresses of your wireless devices. It is absolutely useless in the means of security and cause problems as the best for you. Do not bother about the filtering of MAC addresses. It does not prevent attacks on your network as it is easily circumvented.

  Use WPA2 with AES and a password strong. That's all that is necessary to protect your wireless network.

  The rest is a joke for any aggressor and bothers you much more than the alleged assailant. If an attacker was able to decipher your network WPA2/AES the SSID of your network and MAC addresses are a free byproduct you will get during the cracking process...

• Linksys WRT54GS Help - Bricked itself?

  Hello community,

  I recently inherited a router Linksys WRT54GS my boyfriend hasn't needed. I kept it in storage for about 6 months because I didn't really need, but yesterday, I found that lying around and decided to go ahead and plug it in, to see if I could use it as a switch to connect my computer, Xbox and PS3. So I plug it into the wall... And it seems dead. All of the lights on the front panel are turned off. On a whim, I decided to plug it into my computer, wired and test pings. I kept getting the "Network unreachable" error, and the router was not network. However, the light on the front corresponding to the numbers 1-4 port back lit up when I plugged my computer at each port. There is no reset anything else, even after a 30-30-30. Should what steps I take now?

  It is possible that the router no longer works. Have you tried to use the router when your friend gave you? If you are still not able to ping the router using its IP address standard, try setting static IP on your computer using 192.168.1.50 for the IP address and 192.168.1.1 for the default gateway. Once the IP static value, try to ping the router command and access the router page using 192.168.1.1.

• Add WRT54G: second router / access point, unable to get to the outside network.

  Here is the prob:

  We just got cable internet the other day and the cable operator insisted on using their v1000 Belkin F5D7234-4 instead of my WRT54G V8. So I thought I'd use the WRT54G as a second router/AP (without wireless/LAN/WAN). I was eager to do this by running an ethernet in the WAN on the WRT54G port and plug it into the port of the client on the Belkin, place the wrt - 54 G at the other end of the House and have the WRT54G broadcasting the same SSID and require authentication even as the Belkin and use the Belkin to Linksys Wireless Bridge. In this way, it will extend my wireless network and all computers can access the internet and the other (wireline customers will keep at wire-speed, wireless is not authicate to two different networks.)

  I can't get the Linksys network based able to see all the other computers outside the WRT - 54 G, even for wireless clients. On the side of things Belkin network, I can't ping the router even if she pulls a DHCP in the Belkin address. All customers the Belkin side can meet and thin internet. I've fiddled with the WRT54-g for almost an entire weekend now with no result. The WRT54G can see the other router as a DNS as well as external DNS providers, but none of the client computers can. Basically, I'm wanting to extend the network of Belkin 4 as most cable customers and fill a few dead wireless, and make the visible computer on the same network of suggestions?

  Parameters of WRT - 54G:

  Automatic configuration - DHCP

  Same domain name like Belkin
  IP router set a tire to the DHCP server

  DHCPserver OFF

  Mode of operation: router

  Safe are disabled.

  Wireless SSID is the same as Belkin

  Wireless channel is the same as belkin.

  Method and auth. key is the same as belkin.

  Belkin:

  DHCP is on.

  15 IP addresses available.

  Wireless gateway is on with the WRT54G Wireless MAC address information.

  Ethernet cords are connected.

  I played with static routes for hours, tried the option routing dynamic, even tried DMZing of the WRT54G intellectual property in the belkin and still unable to connect to the internet. Tried the Belkin MAC address cloning. Nothing seems to work. When I plug the WRT - 54G directly in my digital/Modem/phone cable box, I get internet and everything. I'm at the point of throwing same DD - WRT on it.

  But beyond connection "wireless" I discovered really does not work if well (drops random wireless speeds seize up) with two different pieces of equipment running two different firmwares. So the thing connecting wireless set was out the window.

  I however knew what I had to do Linksys firmware:

  1.) DHCP clients forward.

  Customers of Belkin - network

  Linksys customers - network B

  The dhcp pool was not get transferred to the client computers. That is the 1-2 on network computer had XXX. XXX.100 - 102 for 3-4 computers on network B was YYY. YYY. YYY statically set by Windows. Even after changing to a static address on the network A dhcp scope I could still connect to the internet or to one of the computers on the network.

  The static routing table seemed not lead me anywhere either, and I've tried dozens of configurations.

  The way I got it Setup is with the customer enthernet of the Belkin ROUTER to THE Internet on the Linksys WRT54G port 1-4. Maybe I should have plugged the ethernet on the client side of 4 ports Linksys?

  Anyway DD - WRT redirect DCHP feature was what I need.

  Regarding the scenario wireless two routers have the same encryption method and key but different channels and ssid. Who, with DD - WRT for some reason when I jump on the wireless-B, Vista will be ID it as network A (B).

  I hope that it has not violated anything except the guarantee which was anyway. The reason for which I needed for my network up this way is because I do a lot of work using VM (of various operating systems), is simply easier to have two separate semi networks.

• WRT54GS - broadcasting of two SID

  My WRT54GS seems to emit two SIDS wireless

  One is called linksys - and is open without any security. I guess that's a default setting?

  The other is one I set with security WEP and MAC filtering.

  How to I get rid of the value by default "linksys" sid and don't allow access to the SID defined with security?

  Thanks in advance

  Thanks, just loaded iStumbler and Yes ADR mac for the sid that I configured is as expected. The linksys SID has a different macaddr so it must be a neighbor who has an open wireless router.

  Thank you!!!
