I was looking at a Wireshark capture off my Windows XP box, and I noticed a rather curious behavior. Every 1-2 seconds, the machine sends a ping request to my Linksys WET610N wireless network bridge, which the Windows box connects to the Internet through.
View 1 RepliesI have a small home network, in which the DSL modem is some way away from the room in which I do my work. Currently, I use a pair of WAP54G access points to bridge between the two locations, and everything works OK, if slowly.Today, I bought a WRT320N router and a WET610N bridge to replace the access points, but I having a real problem configuring them to work. I think the basic problem is with the IP addresses that they use. The current configuration is:
DSL Modem -> Access Point -- several yards -- Access Point -> PC
and I want to go to:
DSL Modem -> WRT320N -- several yards -- WET610N -> PC
I guess my basic question is this a reasonable idea or should I be using something different for the WRT320N end? I don't want to change the basic IP address subnet (192.168.1.*) and I want to keep the DSL modem as the default gateway (192.168.1.254). When I installed the WRT320, it assigned itself an IP address of 192.168.0.1 and the WET610N an IP address of 192.168.0.101, and I think the DSL modem also assigned the WRT320 an IP address of 192.168.1.99, so I am a little confused as to which IP addresses I should be setting where.
just replaced my WRT54GL with e2500 and i have a problem connecting my bridge (WET610N) to e2500 router, it connects fine, but no internet when i connect the bridge to another PC (bidrge says it's connected and got IP), same story with another router (WRT54GL) i connect it with the wire to the e2500 than connect to that router with wi fi and OOPS no internet when i connect to e2500 directly with laptop, iphone etc i have the internet connection, but when i connect the bridge or another router i get no internet looks like E2500 does not let the internet pass throught the bridge or other router.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAt home I am using the linksys wireless bridge WET610N to stream media to my livingroom. The setup looks like server <-> Linksys E4200 <-> WET610N. If I connect my laptop to the WET610N i get a speed close to 100Mbit/s. With this speed I can easily view HD movies, by playing them on my laptop. So far so good...But if I instead connect my Popcorn Hour A-100 (a media player) , to the WET610N (instead of the laptop) I get really poor performance. just a few Mbit/s, which is not enough.So my question is, why is the following setup working fine:server <-> Linksys E4200 <-> WET610N <-> LaptopWhen at the same time the following setup is working poorly:server <-> Linksys E4200 <-> WET610N <-> Popcorn HourThe WLAN connection between the Linksys E4200 and Linksys WET610N seems to be fine. The problem I am having seems to be the Ethernet connection/setup between the WET610N and the Popcorn Hour media player.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased the WET610N Wireless Bridge to use with my Samsung BD-P1590 Blu-Ray Player. The player has a few built in apps that include Netflix, Bockbuster, Pandora and YouTube. I successfully setup the bridge and hooked it up to the blu-ray player. It wasn't that hard. All the internet apps on the player work fine except Netflix. The first time I use the netfix app, it is supposed to give me a code that I use to register the device with netflix. However, I get a message that Netflix is temporarily unavailable. I have called netflix and they assure me that this is not the case and that it is most likely my wireless setup. The troubleshooting on Samsungs website points to the same thing. With that said, I disconnected the player from the wireless bridge and wired it directly to my router. Netflix works just fine then. Below is a list of things I have attempted:Disable the firewall on the router to see if it was blocking the app. (had the same results)Checked my firmware on all my devices (they are all current)Powered down all my devices and started them up back up starting with my DSL modem and ending with he blu-ray player (same results)Configured the bridge and player to use a static IP vs using the IPs automatically assigned by the router. (same results)Disabled aggregation on all WMM categories. I don't think the WRV54G router supports aggregation,, so I though this might cause a conflict with my setup. (same results)Enabled the broadcasting of SSID (same results)Chatted with linksys support. They basically checked to see if I had the latest firmware and that the bridge was working. They then recommended that I exchange the bridge for a new one. (I have not exchanged it for a new one yet, just because I am not convinced that there isn't something else wrong with my setup)My Configuration
DSL Modem --> WRV54G Linksys Wireless Router --> WET54G Wirelss Bredge --> Samsung BD-P1590 Blu-Ray Player
Router is broadcasting in Wireless G only on channel 1
Using WAP-PSK encryption
I am not sure if the problem lies with the routewr or the bridge. I am hoping someone out there can confirm that the WET610N truly does work whne using it with a BD-P1590 blu-ray player. This would lead me to believe that there is something wrong with my configuration or with using it combination with my older router. I would like to note also, that I have had one instance where BD Live didn't work. However, it has worked on other disks.
I am trying to bridge a Verizon MiFi4510L to my Sonicwall network router via a Linksys WET610N wireless Internet Bridge. I have successfully gotten the the MiFi4510L to connect to the WET610N and can use the Ethernet connection connected directly to my laptop. I am assigned a DHCP of 192.168.1.6 from the DHCP of the MiFi.I then connected the WET610N connection to the WAN input on the Sonicwall device and connected my laptop to the Sonicwall controlled network. I configured the WAN connection as NAT with DHCP and it connected to the 192.168.1.6 address. However, I can not get to the internet, nor even ping 192.168.1.6 or 192.168.1.1. Something is being blocked (I assume by the Verizon MiFi4510)

I haven't been very impressed with them - I have to reboot them at least once a week and figure it's a roaming issue. Since they are a residential product they probably weren't designed to do a lot of roaming.I started playing around with WGB and setup an 1142 AP and got it to work. Unfortunately, the only place I can put the AP is inside the cart and the metal top seems to be interfering with the wireless signal.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI currently have 2 e4200 wireless routers. The first router is connected to 3 devices via ethernet, and the 4th port is connected to my other e4200v2 which is set as bridge mode. The main router is at one end of the house, the second bridge mode router is at the other end.My wireless devices are connected to the main e4200v2, along with all the wired clients.
When wirelessly connected to the 2nd e4200 (the bridged one) I cannot connect to or ping any wireless clients that are connected to the main router. (For example, in my bedroom I am connected with my computer to the 2nd bridged router, and I am trying to ping my other computer that is wireless connected to the main router. I am unable to ping to this computer. When I am conected wirelessIy to the mian router, than I am able to ping the other wireless computer on the same router. Note:I am able to access any hard wired devices to the main router, regardless of which router I am connected to. The issue only appears to be when trying to connect to a wireless device that is connected to a different router than the device I am connecting from.Both routers are setup on the same subnet mask with firmware Ver.2.1.39.145204
The network is constantly disconnecting from my devices and wont let me reconnect...I reset the network completely back to factory settings and started from there. Some of my devices didnt want to connect at all after the complete reset.These are the settings that I have changed: SSID has been changed,wifi security(wpa2 personal,AES) ,channel(width=20, channel=auto) ,DNS server(changed to Norton DNS: 198.153.192.40 & 198.153.194.40) & router management logon password & firmware upgrade to 3.0.03...

I'm moving into a new house. I've purchased the E4200 and the WET610N so I can connect between the main house and the carriage house which will be my office. Carriage house is 60' away from the main house. I want to place the E4200 in the main house and will send it the broadband cable signal from the cable modem. I'll wire ethernet directly from the E4200 to the DVR for DirecTV and will use another output to distribute to other computers in the main house via ethernet switch. I will place the WET610N in the carriage house and want to take to output from the WET610N into wired ethernet switch(es) there for access to the broadband from the house.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a WET610 that I intend to use to connect a PC to the local network and further on to the Internet. The local connection works, I can ping to and from the computer connected to the WET610 and I can see the other computers, both wired and wireless, on the network so the wireless connection is ok but I can't connect to the Internet, I can't even ping the DNS I'm using. What can be wrong? All the other computers can access the Internet. The WET610 talks to a wireless AP which in turn is connected to a router
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have the bridge working but I have to assign a static IP address to devices connected to it. I can't get it to pick up an address from my DHCP server. Here's what I have:
Cisco ASA5505 (Firewall & DHCP server)
WAP54G - Access Point
WET610N - This Wireless Bridge
The ASA5505 successfully gives DHCP address to ALL wired and wireless computers. The WET610N has connectivity to the WAP54G. The status page indicates it's connected and I can get on the internet if I set a static address. However, once I configure my computer to automatically get an IP from DHCP, it just times-out and says limited or no connectivity. Again, when I set a static IP, I have connectivity to everything. I know the AP is working because I can get an address from my DHCP server (ASA5505) with my other laptops and even my cell phone. Why can't I get a DHCP address through this bridge (WET610N)?
I have a WET610N on my network with very little signal strength. My set up is:
Router E3000
48 ' (48 feet) to
WET610N
The WET610N is on 5Ghz N, and is the only device at Ghz, and indeed the only wireless device during testing.
The use for the adaptor is to connect an Xbox 360 as a MCE for Video streaming.It is unusable, with unwatchable lags and intermittent failures.The 'Network Performance Monitor" doesn't read in mb/s, but essentially I get about 1 or 2 'bars', well under the acceptable for Standard def reading.
zInterestingly, when I bring the device within 3 feet of the router, I get great speeds (30 Mb/s down), but the bit rate reading in the status screen reads lower than the below reading.
Below is at the 45 foot mark->
Link Status:Connected MAC Address:68:7F:74xxxx:31 Network Name (SSID):sx BSSID:98:FC:11:xxxx9:94 Radio Band:5 GHz Channel Width:20 MHz Wide Channel:N/A Standard Channel:36 Bit Rate:43.3Mbps Signal:10% Security:WPA2 Personal
After I updated my E4200 V1 with the 1.0.04 update I am unable to connect my WET610N to it with 802.11N. I can connect fine with 802.11G. I tried the Site Survey method of pairing them as well as manual. When it fails it goes through the minute timeout of trying and then Link Status is disconnected. I have anything from phones to laptops connect to the E4200 with wireless N, its just the WET610N that doesnt want to pair.
Before I was running the following:
E4200 V1 1.0.03
WET610N V1 1.0.05
Connection between them: Bridged, WPA2 Personal, 802.11N
After I was running:
E4200 V1 1.0.04
WET610N V1 1.0.05
Connection between them: Bridged, WPA2 Personal, 802.11G
My WET610N crashes when I'm using it behind my PS3 while I'm watching videos in DLNA with the PS3 Media Server. Sometimes I can watch it during 1 hour without problem, somtimes it crashes and restart after 10 minutes of playing already. The restart is taking quite a long time, something like 2 or 3 minutes to get back to a Wifi connection. The router is still working properly while the WET610N is restarting.
The firmware is the latest 1.0.03, the settings are made for Video Access mode. I'm not using any encryption, only MAC address filtering.
My Wifi router is a Belkin N+ (F5D8235-4 v2000).
The "Setup Wizard" disc that came with my WET610N won't work in a Mac. Is there a disc or a download available?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a wireless network in a 2 storey house. The internet access and 1 WRT54GS router is on the 1st floor (using frequency channel 11). The wireless single doesn't do very well on the second floor unless there is a device with a strong antenna. I recently purchased a WET610N Bridge and I have an extra WRT54GS (using frequency channel 1).
I would like to be able to add wireless to the 2nd floor by attaching the extra router to the bridge which would wirelessly connect to the router with the internet.
Okay so I have been using my E4200 router and WET610N bridges for a while now without any issues really until yesterday when I updated the firmware on the 4200 now none of my WET610N's (I have 2) can connect via wireless at all. At first I thought it was a a wireless issue but I have other devices that connect up just fine via wireless.I've made no changes to the router or the bridges before the firmware update.
If I hook the bridge directly to the router I can access it and configure it, but looking at the "Status" page, I see the bridge try and connect wirelessly but is quickly disconnected. Range isn't an issue as in my testing the bridge was 2 feet from the router.I've update the bridges to the latest firmware and have verified a 100 times that the settings on both my router and the bridges are set correctly (when the bridges are hooked up via network card).
I just moved into a new place and I've been having a lot of trouble with the wireless connection. There are 4 other people sharing the wireless and none of them seem to have problems, and my phone connects fine, but my laptop will randomly lose internet access while still detecting the network. When I run the troubleshooter it says it has reset the wireless adapter, and the connection will work again, but sometimes only for a few minutes before it craps out. I don't have access to the wireless router itself, so doing anything with that will require asking the landlady (who doesn't speak English well). I had access fine for the first two days after I moved in. I did install a couple of programs after that: 7-Zip and Flash Player 11.2 (since the newest Flash version crashes my Firefox). I don't know if that could have anything to do with it.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit on an Asus laptop. After searching around the forum a bit, I followed the instructions in this post and will paste the results here. I don't know if the ping address starting with 206 might be invalid since the post is from several years ago.

I have an E4200 router with 3 WET610N access points. I did the firmware update on the router, E4200, about 2 weeks ago so my son could use his xbox when he got home after 4 months of being away. Everything seemed to work OK as far as I could tell....but when he went to sign into xbox live and watch Netflix, it will load to 98% and stop. A friend of his came over with the new Slim xbox 360 with built in wireless and it will connect fine on its own, if we hook up one of the 610N's to it, it will load to 98% on Netflix and stop again with error code R8152. Both of my older xbox's will hook up and play on xbox live, just not work with Netflix.I also noticed, it shows the WET610N as a hard wire on xbox and will not search for any wireless networks, I have 2. The newer Slim xbox360 will search out both networks on its own if you allow it to use its internal wireless. This only happened since the firmware update.
