Linksys Wireless Router :: Adding E2500 As Second Set-up
Dec 18, 2012I want to add my E2500 as a second wireless router to cover my entire house.I have a Motorola Surfboard SBG6580 cable modem (Time-Warner) at one end of the house.I added via powerline Ethernet connection a new E2500 wireless router at the other end of the house.The E2500 set-up with all defaults and has the same SSID and Password as the Surfboard cable modem.It seems to work OK, but I wonder about network confusion/interference.Do I have to configure the E2500 in some manner to allow seamless roaming of my wireless devices (iPad, Cell Phones, Netbook)?I had an RE1000 with just the Surfboard, but it did not quite do the trick, and does not like both routers connected at either end.

Jul 24, 2012I recently bought a E2000 wireless router. After my internet was slow for a few days, I figured out that the router was slowing down my internet.
Here's what happens: When my PC is connected directly to the cable (I am connected to a university network, so no modem), everything is fine and a speed test (url...) shows the speed as 400 Mbps(200 Mbps upload) or more.Once I add the router and connect my PC through the router, the speed test result drops to less than 200 Mbps(100 Mbps for upload). I tried this several times, testing with the same server.At the same time, when I try to open pages, "Sending request"(Chrome) takes for ever! sometimes it stays at "Sending request" for 15 seconds. This happens even google.com, so it's not the Web server.
Linksys Wireless Router :: Adding E1000 To Existing Router?
Nov 10, 2011I have an E1000 router and recently moved to a basement apartment where the only internet access comes from a single Ethernet cable running out of a router upstairs. I can connect to that network (it is family) but ideally I would like to connect my router and create a second network so that I can connect my printer and other devices independently of the upstairs network.

Jan 5, 2012I am trying to add the E3000 to my existing network to provide Wireless Connectivity for my users. The main router is a RouteFinder SOHO VPN (RF560). The RouteFinder acts as a gateway and provides DHCP. I do not want to change it's role or settings. When I added the E3000 using a Lan-to-Lan connection to the RouteFinder, all users lost access to the internet. As a quick fix as I was working on something else at the time, I just unplugged the E3000. Now I am reading through Article 3733 that I was originally referred to and that has me changing the settings on the RouteFinder which I do not want to do. Is there any way to accomplish adding this to my network without changing anything on the RouteFinder at all??? By the way...I am located in another state than this router and network. I can call and have someone plug and unplug stuff but all of the configuration has to be done remotely.

Sep 27, 2012We have a Vigor ADSL modem linked to a hub that then links to 3 pc's and 2 printers all via ethernet. Connection to the outside world is fine.
A few weeks ago the IT geek decided to switch the modem from DHCP to PPPoA and put each pc & printer on fixed IPs. The Vigor is also on a static IP.
This therefore cut off our link to the Linksys WRTG54 we have in a different room serving as a wireless router.
The Linksys is/was connected via ethernet to port 1, port 2 direct to laptop. Wireless worked fine until they changed to static IP etc on the Vigor, now we only have ethernet to the laptop and no Wireless.
What do we need to do at the Linksys end to get wireless working again?
Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT160N - Adding Second Router To LAN
Nov 10, 2011I have 4 devices in my network -
1. Cable surfboard modem
2. WRT160N Wireless Router - 192.168.1.1
3. Linksys 10/100 5-port wired switch
4. WRT160Nv3 - 192.168.1.2
My current setup is -
1. Modem to first router. (WAN PORT)
2. LAN Port from router to UPLINK port on switch
The switch is upstairs, the router is downstairs. The wifi from the router does not reach upstairs, so I have bought another WRT160Nv3.How do i add this to my setup? I've tried hooking the new router direct to a PC and configuring it so that it is NOT a DHCP server and changed the IP from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2 then connecting a LAN port from the switch to a LAN port on the new router and disconnecting the wired pc from the new router.
In the above setup NOTHING after the switch works. I cannot get internet while the switch is connected to the second router on any computer attatched to the switch. The wifi will not get internet either (from second router)
Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT400N - Adding Access Point To Existing Network
Oct 26, 2010I have an existing wireless network using a Cisco/Linksys WRT400N wireless router (which in turn is connected to a cable internet provider). I need to extend my wireless coverage and so purchased a Cisco/Linksys E1000 to act as an additional access point. Purchased from BB, the local 'geek squad' rep instructed me to follow the users guide for the set up. After login into the admin service on my E1000, I followed the 'Advanced Routing' instructions and disabled the 'NAT' option and subsequently enabled the 'Dynamic Routing (RIP)' option. Everything worked like a charm to this point, but now I'm stuck. What steps do I need to follow to allow clients to log onto my wirelss network via the E1000 (secondary access point)? I've established WEP security keys on the WRT400N (primary access point) and want to use the same network security parameters on the E1000.

Jul 14, 2011I`m trying to set up a relative`s Internet up so that it is wireless; currently the router takes signal from cable, not phone, is wired only, and has just one ethernet port. I know the number of ports can easily be expanded using a switch, but is it possible to buy a piece of hardware which could be plugged into the router to broadcast a wireless signal as well? I have looked quite thoroughly for anything that could do this but I`m pretty new to networking
View 7 Replies View RelatedAdding A WAP Along Side A Wireless Router?
Dec 28, 2012She has comcast xfinity with a the SMCD3GNV router which if you ever look it up has the worst wireless signal imaginable and I can second that. I was hoping to not have to touch the SMCD3GNV router and just add on to it by attaching a secondary router as a wap.What I plan to do (which I am sure has been exasterbated in forums but just want clarity) was to disable DHCP on the new n router ( cheaper than official wap) and set ip out of SMCD3GNV router DHCP ip range but in same subnet mask so probably 192.168.1.2. Then connect the SMCD3GNV router to the new router via ethernet and dont use wan port. Is this basically all I have to do? Do I need to change the channels on either devices since their next to eachother? or will them being next to eachother and same channel cause interference? I have read I can call comcast and turn the smcd3gnv into a bridge ( plain modem) but I would rather avoid calling them and see if 2 wireless access points next to eachother is okay.Also, I plan on doing this by going to microcenter.com and getting a router for 24.99 or less with a coupon I have. Is there any on their website that you would recommend for this setup? Also if you could check the wap on their website and see if you think its worth it to get one of those instead if under that price as well. I want to utilize wireless n signal . Also, the xfinity service she has is rated for 50mbps download and cannot remember the upload , I have tested this wired and it does actually achieve this or greater.

View 2 Replies View RelatedBoost Wireless Range By Adding 2nd Router
Mar 31, 2013I purchased a 2nd router to boost my wireless range.in order to set this up, is all I have to do is set router 2 outside the range of the DHCP and turn OFF DHCP on router 2. Then I can successfully connect the two routers and if I am upstairs use router1 and downstairs use router2 wireless signal?What would be the pros/cons of using the same SSID? I know one benefit would be not having to set-up each device to connect to the new network name of router 2, but IDK what problems this could ensue. One immediate problem I can think of is if a device could not connect I wouldn't know which router (router1 or router2) the device was unable to connect to immediately.

View 2 Replies View RelatedNetgear WNDR4500 - Adding Wireless Router To Existing Network?
Sep 23, 2012Added a wireless router to our office here so that people with laptops could get on the net without having to physically plug in. Right now it is ok, but the router is acting as it's own DHCP server instead of our server here assigning out the IP's.
The main gripe I have is I can only login to the router through my phone and not through my computer. How can I achieve this. We have multiple offices that all connect through a VPN. I would like our sys admin to access the router at his location as well.
Do I just turn off DHCP on the router and thats it? The model is Netgear WNDR4500.
Extend Wireless By Adding Extra Router Via Ethernet Wall Port?
Jun 15, 2012My dorms have wifi in the common room, and ethernet wall ports in the rooms since wifi doesnt reach that far. They both have the same network name (e.g. the wifi network is named 'apple', and when i connect through ethernet in my room the name is also 'apple') I need to have wifi in my room. So, if i get a router and connect it to the ethernet port in my room's wall, would that work? Is that all you have to do or is there some other stuff i should know about?also can i put a password on it? And also, will it carry the network traffic of the common room?(if two people are using the common room's wifi, will the wifi speed in my room be affected nd whatnot) i have a linksys router lying around at home (the blue one with the double antennas, everyones seen them, and the one in the common room is the same...wireless g)
