Linksys Access Point :: WAP54G As Range Expander For E4200?

Jun 25, 2011

I have just bought a E4200 and updated to latest FW version 1.0.02-Build13 It works very well for me so far But in the repote part of my home, the signal is too weak :-(
 
I have a WAP54G (HW-rev-2), which I would like to use to expand my wireless range, but so far I have not been able to get a setup where I can see the wireless coverage expanded. I have placed the WAP54G inside the wireless coverage range of the E4200 with good signal level.
 
I have tried various setup combinations and searched articles, but so far I have not been able to get this working as expected..
 
Before I spend more hours on this or decide to dump the WAP54G, I would like to know if this setup is at all possible with these components, - and of course if there are any hints to get this working ?

Linksys Access Point :: WAP610N As Wireless Range Expander?

Jun 21, 2011

I have a WAP610N that I would like to use as a range expander on an existing wireless network.  I want to be able to seamlessly move around the house and yard using both my router and WAP without getting disonnected.  Can the WAP610N be configured to work this way?  Any special settings to be aware of?

Linksys Access Point :: Increase Signal Strength And Range Of WAP54G?

Jan 19, 2009

I have a WAP54G and the signal strength and range is not that great; unit manufactured in 04/2007.  I have firmware version 3.04 dated Oct 31, 2005.  Customer support is suggesting I upgrade the firmware to 3.04.03 but I am sure it will really do anything to the signal strength and range.  Also, they suggested I download new drivers for my desktop wireless card.

Linksys Access Point :: Connect And Configure WAP54G Access Point To New Cable Modem?

Nov 1, 2012

How do I connect and configure my WAP54G wireless access point to my new Cable Modem? I have it connected to the modem but I cannot access it to configure it. It appears to be working but before I got the cable modem I had it connected to a router and it was set-up with a static IP address. With my new ISP, I no longer have a static IP address so I am trying to configure the WAP54G to use DHCP. Trying to access it thru the internet at 192.168.1.245 does not work.

Configuring A Linksys Range Expander

Jul 12, 2011

My dad bought a Linksys Range Expander to expand our network so that my mom could get her Netflix streamed to her. Now, I tried to configure it using the Autoconfig button, but it didn't work. Then I attempted to do it manually using my dad's computer since it was the computer I set up the router on. Now, I had to disconnect the cord coming from the back of the router to my dad's computer (it's that computer's internet connection.) so that I could connect the range expander to it. I tried the Web Setup IP. The page didn't load, and I just got a "Connection was taking too long" message. I tried again a few times, only once did it bring up the prompt to log into it, but after logging in, it STILL didn't open the setup page, displaying the same error. So, I decided to put the Range Expander back in the basement into storage for a bit and I plugged the original internet cable back into my dad's computer (it's internet connection), and call it a day.

Linksys Access Point :: WAP54G Access Point Unable To Connect To More Than One PC?

Apr 25, 2011

I've got a AP WAP54G. I've managed to get into the configuration page and rename my router and set a WPA2-Personl password.
 
 The issue I'm facing is that when me and my roomate try to connect to the router at the same time, it shows the laptop that connects second as one that has 'limited connectivity' and hence cannot use the internet. The 1st laptop however works fine!
The settings for the router have all been left to default.
 
I'm not sure, but does this problem have anything to do with the fact that the router in configured with a static IP. If so, then there is another issure which is that whenever I try to change it from static to automatic/dynamic IP, the page fails and the router doesn't even get connected to the configuraion page(192.168.1.245) after that. The only way to get that page again is the reset the router.
 
Also I'm not able to directly get into the config page when I connect my router to my laptop via lan. I need to change the LAN IP to 192.168.1.x where x is >1.

Linksys Access Point :: Can't Connect To WAP54G

Feb 19, 2011

My Linksys Range Extender died.  So I bought a WAP54G thinking that I could use it as a repeater to extent the range of the signal from my router to the other wireless PCs in the house.
 
1st floor:
PC1 connected to a WRT54G  v.5 router
PC2 connected to PC1 router via USB network adapter
Laptop connected to PC1 royter via internal wireless
 
2nd floor
PC3 connected to PC1 router via USB network adapter
PC4 connected to PC1 router via USB network adapter
 
The main goal is to set up the WAP54G in between PC1 and the other PCs to extent the range of the signal particularly to the 2nd floor PCs.The instructions for configuring the WAP54G are fairly straightforward, but the first issue I run into is not being able to connect to the WAP54G web setup.  I am using the following instructions:
 
[url]...
 
once I configure or setup the WAP54G through another PC as a repeater, will I be able to disconnect it from the PC and use it as a standalone (e.g., plugging only the power in and leaving it in my kitchen or a hallway) to extend the range of the signal?  Or does it have to stay connected to PC1 and does PC1 always have to be on for this WAP54G to act as a repeater?

Linksys Access Point :: WAP54G To Use This AP As A Repeater

Mar 7, 2011

I have a WAP54G as my access point, currently it is connected with my BEFSR81 router. I am thinking of changing the access point to a WAP610N for the house. I know that this would work but I was wondering if the WAP54G could be used as a repeater for the outside (I know a lower speed). I know they are two different channels but I wanted a larger range for my wireless. I am on Windows XP, SP2, using Firefox. Can this be done?

i have been using a couple of wap54g units for years now (awesome units!) but its now time to upgrade to "N".is there a newer unit that has "N" ?is there a unit that has a PoE option? also, i really like the ability to switch to larger antennas like the wap54g unit does. i would think that all wireless access units should have removeable antennas and a PoE option!

Linksys Access Point :: Bridge Wrt54G To WAP54G?

Mar 28, 2011

According to the information on the bottom of the WAP54G setup screen it can connect to the WRT54G without  another WAP54G. What I want to do is use the WAP54G as a bridge to connect my DVD player with an Ethernet connection to the internet via the WRT54G. Both units have the latest firmware updates. When I set it up as I believe it should be the WAP54G has all the lights on but the DVD player cannot connect to the internet.

Linksys Access Point :: Wrt54gx2 With Srx 200 - Configure WAP54G With A MAC?

Jan 8, 2007

I have a wrt54gx2 with srx 200 technology recently purchased. I havetwo cabled computers attached. One at one end of the house attached tothe router by ehternet cable, the other attached about 100 ft by ethernet cable.The wireless does not reach to the other end of the house, most likley because that part of the house is an addition with masonary walls and a large masonary firplace. I bought a wap54g access point at the recommendation from someone at linksys to attach to the end of the ethernet run. Since my set up is macintosh, I can't use the wizard disk that came with the wap54g. Linksys support was not support( not expected), I need to know what to do to get this up and running. I am new to this stuff and Linksys get the wireless router with ethernet installed and up and running with my dsl. I thought the same for the wap54g.

Linksys Access Point :: WAP54G Green ACT LED Does Not Light Up

Jun 22, 2011

after several years of proper functioning my WAP started to make trouble and recently stopped working. I've tried a lot of options to get it back online but I failed doing so.The green ACT LED won't light up anymore so my laptop cannot find the WAP anymore. When connecting the WAP directly to the laptop the Network Center shows that Windows is trying to identify the WAP but this messages disappears and re-appears on and on but there is no succes in identification (ofcourse this is caused the the green ACT LED which won't light-up).

Linksys Access Point :: Windows 7 Can't Connect To WAP54G

Feb 20, 2011

I am unable to connect wirelessly to a WAP54G v2 with a Dell Inspiron 17R/N7010 running Windows 7.  In fact, previously a relative's laptop, also running Windows 7, was also unable to connect at my location.The access point has no security enabled.  It shows up in the list of available wireless networks.  I've configured the wireless adapter properly (static ip).  Yet connection fails.  Windows suggests that I power cycle the access point and try again. If I use the same configuration for the wired connection, it works.  Is there a compatibility issue with Windows 7 and the WAP54G v2?

Linksys Access Point :: WAP54G Cannot Use Rick PC To Set Up Router

Feb 1, 2011

I have a WAP54G wireless router that worked fine at our other house, but we have moved and I'm trying to set it up. (I was not the one who originally hooked it up at the other house.) I am trying to hook it up to our Charter internet which works just fine with my Mac if I just connect a cable between the Mac and the 'box' that Charter hooked up. When I plug in my husband's PC with the cable in the same way I plug in my Mac, his will not work. He has an internal internet connection that he connects to wireless, but it is really slow. This means that I cannot use Rick's PC to set up the router, because it cannot be hooked up to the cable source.

Linksys Access Point :: WAP54G 3.1 Can't Log On To Web Based Utility

Feb 27, 2011

I am running my home network and WAP(WPA2) behind a d-link gaming router (DHCP) with no inbound or outbound restrictions; however,  I am unable to access the internet using my ipad unless I put the  WAP in the DMZ.  Also, if I configure security using the setup program, I  can not log on to the web based utility.  I have to disable security with the set up program and then log into the utility.  BTW..the UID must be left blank to log into the utility( PW only) to configure the WAP, even though the manual says otherwise.
 
Now after all this, the WAP will be up and running for days even a few weeks.  Then for no reason it will no longer be accessible and I will power it down and back up and it works fine.  But this will work only a few times and I have to hit the reset button and reconfigure it all over again.  
 
The firmware has been updated and nothing else has issues on the network.  This has been happening since i bought it 3yrs ago, using an iPad, iPhone, Laptops, and PCs( XP and Windows 7) but in the past year it has been more frequent.
