WRT54GS v5 and WDS

Does anyone know if the WDS compatible WRT54GS v5? I tried to connect a Terminal to Airport Express via WDS and that never works. My only assumption is that the linksys is not compatible with WDS.

I use the latest Linksys firmware.

Thanks, people.

The WRT54G/S does not support WDS advanced by the official Linksys firmware.  It supports a bit a 'lazy WDS', but which really only works with the WRE54G.  If you want some real WDS, you need to use a different firmware.  If you are interested in where to get these, PM me, or there are many other people here who can give you directions.

  • ASUS Infinity wifi connects to the WRT54G Router and network, but not the internet

    I have a WRT54G work throughout our House. It has 4 ports for wired ethernet and multiple wireless connections works without any problem. Currently my Droid phone, Tablet iPad and 2 laptops to connect and move to the internet via a wireless connection.

    Today, I bought a new Asus TF700T Infinity tablet.  I can so he can connect to the router, see the network and the router can see the Tablet Infinity (assigns an IP address), but no internet access.

    I need some ideas here, or suggestions as to what tools I can use to see where the traffic of the Tablet is blocked.  The newspaper on the router shows me nothing. I guess there is a port blocked by the router, but no idea those who.

    Tried reset hard and a firmware upgrade does not.  In fact the latest firmware upgrade (4.21.5) watered the entire network, so I started 4.21.1

    Maybe it's not a router issue maybe that's the problem with the Tablet? Can ping you the ip address assigned to the ipad? You can also try t o assign a static settings on your tablet. If these things still do not work, you may need to contact asus support.

  • RV110W and WDS

    I have a RV110, and I am interested to extend the reach of the WiFi using WDS function.

    Simply indicates the data sheet RV110W... "can wireless be repeated signals by up to 3 compatible devices,"

    Where can I find these "devices", and has anyone had success using WDS with any APs of the range of SMB products?

    Thank you

    Hello Chris,

    All Small Business support WDS Access Points.  You can take a look at the different models of AP here:

    http://www.Cisco.com/Cisco/Web/solutions/Small_Business/products/wireless/index.HTML-tab-AccessPoints

    I have install WDS for several clients successfully.

    The only thing to keep in mind is that, for each position (or access point) that you repeat until the line speed on the remote will be reduced by half.

    Also several of thewireless routers support WDS, so you can use another RV110W for example.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

  • ESX 3.5i Guest OS Architecture (x 86 vs. x 64) and WDS

    I ran into a bit of a jam while creating and image VM ESX 3.5i with WDS deployment. Here is some information:

    I have VMWare ESXi 3.5 (Build 153875) installed on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 (Xeon Quad Core 2.5, 16 GB, 1 TB HD).

    Guest operating system 1: Windows Server 2003 R2 (SP2), x 86 Standard edition w / WDS

    Specifications: 1 processor, 2 GB, LSI Logic, 1 NIC. Specified OS type as "Windows 2003 Server 32-bit" in the new Wizard of VM.

    Installed services: WDS, DHCP

    2 guest OS: Windows Server 2003 R2 (SP2), x 64 Standard edition

    Specifications: 2 processors, 4GB, LSI Logic, 1 NIC. Specified OS type as "Windows 2003 Server 64-bit" in the new Wizard of VM.

    Installation services: by default

    I want to be able to capture an image of Guest OS 2 and deploy it as a new systems of operating client 64-bit on 64-bit virtual machines.

    Here's the process I followed:

    Generalize the OS 2 by using sysprep (sysprep-mini - reseal - reboot), restarts, PXE boot in WDS capture WinPE image, image capture and stop.

    At this point, I see an x 64 image of architecture in the side WDS image store server.

    I create new OS choosing "Windows 2003 Server 64-bit" in the new computer Assistant virtual guest. Make sure that the hardware specification corresponding exactly to that of the 64-bit OS prompt that I copied in the previous step. When I PXE boot the new VM 64 bits in the WDS configuration, I do not see 64-bit created earlier in the image image store: only 32-bit images. I enabled the detection of Architecture WDS (wdsutil/set-Server /ArchitectureDiscovery:Yes). At the start of the new VM PXE, WDS detects it as 64-bit (it shows that information during the process to boot PXE - Architecture: x 64) but WDS does not show the 64-bit image.

    The WinPE installation WDS boot image is 32-bit. From what I've heard, it's ok because the 32-bit WinPE will allow deployments of 64-bit image. Is this correct?

    What I need to know is how to force a 32-bit virtual computer architecture or 64-bit, or how to specify a static type of HAL to all virtual machines newly created. This will solve the problem?

    If the HALS is different for each virtual computer, WDS I cannot install the 64-bit image.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    Steve

    Have you looked at templates, much simpler method to deploy virtual machines.  It is good for physical systems, but for environments of VM, models is what you want.

    Basically, you start with a virtual machine that you use for your virtual machines.  Change it in any way you want, then save it as a template or convert it.  Later, you can clone and make new models...

    Rinse and repeat if necessary.

    There are instructions on how to make work of sysprep, but it's easy, just copy the sysprep command (latest version works) on the VC and personalization Server deploys there the command sysprep on a virtual computer and changes by customization parameters, also in the CR.

  • The WRT54G and DC input power versions.

    OK, I have many, many models and versions.  I have a WRT54G v1, V1.1, V2... V8, I also of the WRT54GS WRT54GL and others, many other things of Linksys, almost everything in the blue and black of varying sizes boxes.

    I have a devil of a time when I reconfigure my network or the woman changes the furniture.  I'd like a single document that lists power specifications and the requirements of adapter for devices of Athens... I can't find them anywhere on Linksys website.  I've searched and searched and nowhere can I find a list of consolidate.  I searched the forums and found many individual inscriptions, but it is a pain.

    Someone at - it a list of the power DC specifications, sizes of barrel and other things necessary to buy a replacement power adapter.

    This http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linksys_WRT54G_series page lists a lot of information but does not list this critical information...  If someone send me the list, I'll try to get it posted it.  I'm amazed that Linksys does not listed it some here.  Lose a wall wart should not be a reason to pull you hair, just a simple purchase, if they do not want their stock, then at least tell us what they are.

    And Yes, I lost almost all the manuals...

    Well it is not possible to find the specification of power supply for all cards in a single list. You must manually locate each model number of your router and check their record and note the power adapter specification.

  • 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.

  • Guest WIFI Linksys WRT54GS by connecting (v6) to ActionTec (verizon fios)...

    Hello

    I want to activate access wifi comments so that I do not share my wifi password main with the guests to allow them to access the Internet (for browsing mainly).

    I currently have Verizon FIOS as my ISP and use ActionTec (MI424WR Rev I). Unforunately, due to certain levels of firmware, allowing access as guest (via dual SSID) is not possible.

    I have an old router d LinkSys WRT54GS (v6) and I was wondering if I can use to connect to my rounter Verizon ActionTec providing guest network? I want to keep Verizon FIOS ActionTec as my main router that I have other devices connected and configured for it.

    So, I was wondering how to connect WRT54GS (v6) to my Verizon ActionTec rounter to leave wifi access without me offering me the passwd wifi main comments?

    My WRT54GS (v6) does NOT run any DD - WRT or OpenWRT f/w but it is running original LinkSys f/w (1.52.8).

    I want to know the following:

    (1) do I need to connect the LAN of router LinkSys LAN Port of Verizon ActionTec port? Or can I connect to LAN_port of Verizon ActionTec WAN_port of LinkSys?

    (2) do I need to disable the DHCP server on LinkSys?

    (3) can I create an additional SSID (with friendly passwd) on LinkSys for allow comments access this SSID while I access my original SSID of ActionTec?

    I went thru' http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=132275 and I tried, but my devices were not able to access internet when connecting to guest SSID.

    Thus, you can enjoy a few tips here. Thank you!

    Kind regards

    Diakité.

    Hi kamdard. You can actually set up the WRT54GS as a wireless network completely different from the one you are currently configuring it with a different name and a different password. If you want the host computers or wireless devices behind the WRT54GS to be able to communicate with the computers behind the ActionTec router then you can follow the method from LAN to LAN. If this isn't the case, then follow the LAN WAN configuraiton.

    Only, you will need to disable DHCP on the ActionTec if you follow the method from LAN to LAN.

    For easy setup, I have personally, suggest that you follow the LAN WAN config. This means that you connect the Ethernet cable between the LAN of your Action Tec port WAN or the Linksys router's Internet port. In this way, you don't have to disable DHCP in the WRT54GS and to access its configuration page via 192.168.1.1 anytime.

    Furthermore, what is the IP address of your router, ActionTec? If it is on 192.168.1.1, too, you may need to change the local IP address of the router Linksys 192.168.2.1. Once done, access the configuration of the WRT54GS page and customize the wireless network and the wireless password.

    Also, before all configurations, it's better reset the unit to default settings. It is done by pressing the reset button at the back of the routerfor 30 seconds while the power is on. Release the button and unplug the unit.

    Hope the above helps.

  • Configuration WRT54G problems

    I put my WRT54G Router returned to service after two years somewhere else. Configuration went well up to a point, but I'm unable to change the settings (at least) two areas of wireless configuration.

    First of all, the router is now set to WPA Personal and I want to change my personal WPA2. In the basic/WIreless wireless settings page, I choose WPA2 from the drop-down list box, but he immediately returned to WPA. Second, I want to restrict the use of a specific set of MAC addresses. Wire/Wireless MAC Filter, I can click on the 'Enable' radio button, but it jumps to "turn off" immediately.  Powering everything down, leaving everything and restarting has no effect.

    The bottom of the router is marked WRT54G V8 and the status page displays FIrmware Version: v8.00.0, January 16, 2007. I thought that a firmware update might be in order. Downloads WRT54G (http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=148648) shows version numbers upward through 8.2, but nothing in 5.0 and above says, "No download of the firmware/driver available." Version 4.0 offers v4.21.5 (24/02/2012). What is the current version of the firmware? Seems a lot lower than 8.00.0.

    Firmware upgrade or not, I want to be able to change the wifi settings.

    Options?  Thank you.

    I use a wired to the router, even if it goes through another router first as an additional firewall. I did the hard reset twice with no improvement in the situation.

    Then I discovered the problem: for some bizarre reason, Linksys requires cookies to make changes on the mode of security and MAC, filtering of the screens. I use a strict cookie Manager in Firefox, and once I have authorized temporarily cookies all went well.

    Sorry for the misdirection.

  • WRT54GS won't allow security

    I'm trying to enable security wireless to my WRT54GS router and it won't work. I have consulted the router through my browser (192.168.1.1) but when I go under wireless > it doesn't let me change the menu drop down menu off off wireless security. I tried all the options on the menu drop down and it automatically comes out the back. I tried to reset to factory settings, but that didn't fix the problem either. Any thoughts?

  • How LinkSys WRT54G v7 supports RTSP streaming service?

    Hello

    I use the LinkSys WRT54G v7 and I can see the RTSP videos using VLC player to m.youtube.com. Strangely, I can't play videos if another AP as the DLINK is used instead of LinkSys.

    I analyzed packages and discovered that RTSP server (youtube) sends RTP packets to the ports of the client which are acquired to the RTSP SETUP procedures. Then the Server packets cannot reach the customer because the hole of the UDP is not perforated to the AP.

    But, when I use the LinkSys, RTP packets can cross the NAT.

    That is my question. LinkSys offers NAT traversal for RTSP streaming service? So, why can't find a list of features on this subject from the LinkSys product information? No explanation for this?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    1. None of the NAT helpers in the Linksys firmware are documented anywhere.

    2. If possible, they added a helper for RTP.

    3. it could also be that VLC player in front of the port with UPnP.
