Linksys Wireless Adapters :: WRT54G - Network Signal Very Low Throughout The House?

Feb 4, 2011

I have a Linksys wireless-g broadbrand router ( WRT54G ) in my bedroom along with my cable modem and everything runs fine in my room. But I also have a pretty old computer in another bedroom about maybe 15 or 20 feet away from the current setup. On that computer I have a wireless g adapter that's connect through a usb port and has very low signal strength. I sometimes use that computer and I'm always getting kicked off I'm guessing because the signal cuts out. So, today I plugged in the adapter in my room with my setup and had amazing signal. What can I do to give that other computer a good boost? I know I should update that computer but I'm guessing I also need to somehow boost the signal somehow.

We have a large house, with wired connections in every room.   After the ISP just installed a new  EA4500, the wireless signal does not reach the whole house.Is it possible to plugin the old X3000 into the wired connection upstairs and have it boost a wireless signal to that area?I know how to reset the unit and access the setup page.

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: WET610N Signal Strength

Jan 27, 2011

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

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: WRT54G / WMP54G - PCI Or USB?

Jan 31, 2011

My router is located in my living room and my desktop is in a room located some 30 fett away with several walls in between. I am a light user (surf internet, read emails) and I do not have any special requirements.My router is a WRT54G router and  my Wireless-G PCI Adapter is a WMP54G. Both have worked well for the last 5 years or so. Unfortunately, I had some work done in my room and the workers have broken the antenna on my desktop PCI adapter.What should I buy to replace my WMP54G?Should I get a PCI adapter or an USB adapter? Which one?Reliability, range and ease of use are my priorities. Price is not a major concern.

Linksys Wrt54g Router - Inconsistent Wireless Signal?

Jun 6, 2012

I have a linksys wrt54g wireless router and a few weeks ago my wireless connection started to become inconsistent, it would randomly drop service or be very slow, and now it has become very inconsistent and slow, all the while the wireless signal would be 4-5 bars.On my windows 7 desktop, often times the yellow triangle with the exclamation mark pops up over the signal strength indicator when its at 4-5 bars.I've tried changing to 2 different routers and its the same, and the problem is persistent for all computers in the house.I've connected directly via ethernet to the modem and router and service was fine.There are a few wireless networks in the area,some with quite strong signals, but I downloaded the xirrus wifi inspector and it says I'm not sharing a channel (channel 1) and though I'm ~15ft from the router, the signal is ~65dbm, which seems low and is almost equivalent to neighbor's wireless strength.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Low Signal Strength With Wrt54g?

Oct 16, 2011

My wireless router has been spotty since my cable company installed a new modem for cable internet.  I have powercycled several times, downloaded new firmware, rebooted and am still having problems.  Lately when I do finally get on the internet with a wireless device, the signal strength is very low.  It is low on my iphone, on my Mac laptop and also on my Samsung Bluray player.  Lately a window keeps popping up when I am trying to watch netflix that states my band width is too low, even though it has been working fine for 2 months.  Is my router outdated?

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: Weak Signal Strength On Windows 7 Using E1000?

Jul 21, 2010

I have a Linksys E1000 router.  The macbook is getting great signal even out in the yard.  The PC running Windows 7 and using an AE1000 wireless adapter is only getting 2 bars out of 5.  I don't think there's any interference.  I can't figure out why the signal strength is so poor.

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: AE1000 Get Full Signal When Router / Device Right Next To Each Other

Oct 26, 2011

I recently bought an AE1000 wireless adaptor, but I have run into a problem.The range on the device is very low, as the only way to get full signal is when the router and device are right next to each other.I have read that this could be due to the device operating on 5.0Ghz frequency, and that this setting is changed through the Cisco Connect software. This software was not in the Setup CD, and the online installer did not install the software either.

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: AE3000 Working But Shows Same Signal Strength

Jul 26, 2012

I have a E2500 router and just got this AE3000 adapter.  Thought that would bump up the wireless signal for using my laptop at the other end of the house about 75 feet from the router.  The new E2500 Wireless N has been a big improvement.  The AE3000 installed perfectly and shows up as working properly.  It's just that the signal strength on my laptop shows 2 bars and the signal strength for the adapter shows 2 bars.

Linksys Wrt54g - Supply 3 Pc's With One Wifi Signal From Usb Wireless Adapter?

May 15, 2011

My cable went out and my neighbor and I have decided to split her at$t broadband, the phone/modem/router is a 2wire.

I have 3 windows 7 computers but only one wireless g usb wireless adapter from tenda. I also have a linksys wrt54g wireless router that I can use.

I have tried to set up the router as a wireless bridge by loading a DD-WRT bin on my linksys but it seemed way buggy -results - I was only able to get 2 of 3 online and if I restarted any of them I lost the connection completely.

Went back to stock firmware and tried to set up a lan between the 3 towers with the linksys then just bridge the two connections on the main pc - results -no internet at all on 2nd and 3rd pc... and when the connection to the wifi network is started I loose my networking to the 2 pc's on the linksys.

Im not sure if im not setting these up correctly as im just following guides and such but since im fairly good with computers this is making me crazy...to be able to set three computers up on 1 good clear wifi should be an easy task but it's just not working out..

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G - Signal Won't Reach Laptop From Far Away

Mar 25, 2013

it might be good to point out first that this was never a problem before i began fixing a completely irrelevant problem (screen broke) with my laptop, which took around three weeks. i could at that time use the internet a couple of rooms away from the router just fine, but now it's a no-go. .
 
the model is WRT54G, and the serial number is CDFD1F9CJ507.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G - See Signal But Can't Connect With Computer Or Iphones?

Oct 17, 2011

I am having problems connecting to my wireless internet.  We were getting a poor signal so we moved our router to our living room where we always are, but now we can't connect.  We tried resetting everything, turned on and off several times.  Went to the linksys wireless set up page, changed SSID and password.  Still can't connect with the computer or our iphones.  It shows our SSID is there but won't connect.  My internet when plug directly to the computer works fine (I am using it now).  My computer can connect to the router Linksys WRT54G, we just can't get it to connect to the wireless.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Ea4500 Wifi Signal Weaker Than Old Wrt54g

Aug 27, 2012

I recently bought the top end ea4500 hoping its "high end" claims would get a better wifi signal in my bedroom(on my iphone 4s) than what i was getting with my WRT54G.The end result is it constantly drops signal completely or shows my network but when I try to connect says "cannot connect to wireless network" even though it's staring me right in the face.  When I hook my WRT54G up, I get a signal.. all be it weak, but at least it doesn't drop out on me.Did I just waste almost $200 on a high end router that can't push a signal out stronger than my almost 7 year old WRT54G? or am i missing some setting that will make this EA4500 worth its claims? settings info:everything is pretty much on "default" aside from the SSIDs for the different bands and the corresponding WPA passwords.
 
also another problem, it seems like the router itself craps out every 60-120 minutes, no leds lit up on the router and my modem (Cisco DCP3010) shows no "link". Yet when hooked directly to the PC there is a "link", so pretty sure its the router and not the modem.

Cisco Wireless :: Sporadic Signal Lost With Linksys WRT54G Routers

Jul 11, 2011

I have a office that was converted from a older townhouse.  The building has 3 floors with the distant of each floor expands no more than about 60 - 75 feet from end to end of the building.  Not sure what's in the walls as the building is at least 20-25 years old.  Total number of users is about 20 - 25. 
 
Here is the problem..
 
I have a WRT54G wireless router setup to provide wireless coverage for this office, located on the 2nd floor,  For some reason, about 10 - 15 feet from the opposite end of the building, the signal drops off big time. Regardless of the floor.  So to assist with the signal, I installed a wireless 300N Gain extender on the same floor on the opposite end of the building where the signal was weak.  At first, it seemed to work by boosting the signal, but then it seems to show the same issue as before.. sporatic signal loss, signal fluctuation, etc.
 
My question is should I replace the wireless booster with multiple wireless APs located throughout each floor... maybe 1 per floor?  If so, is there a trick to configuring all 3 APs to have the same SSID and same encryptionsso it will be seamless to the users?  Since the first AP works fine, I wanted to get 2 additional WRT54G units.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G Signal Vanishes Completely / Keeps Dropping Connection?

Dec 26, 2012

My old WRT54G V8 router has been acting up lately. It keep dropping the connection out of the blue. Sometimes I'd be browsing the Internet when the router's signal vanishes completely, it disappears from the list of available wireless networks on not just my computer, but my smartphone and all other devices in the household! Other times I keep connected to the network but there's no access to the Internet. Everything seems fine on the ISP's part, I can connect just fine directly from my modem, so I'm certain the problem is with the router. Besides, these problems are solved by just power cycling the router.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G Signal Frequently Disconnects Then Recovers Automatically

Jul 31, 2012

I have a LinkSys WRT54G Wireless-G Broadband Router located in my basement office. My IBM T42 ThinkPad running Windows XP Pro has an Intel(R) PRO Wireless 2200BG Network Connection adaptor. The signal strength on the main floor of our townhouse is ~ 80%. My problem is the signal frequently disconnects then recovers automatically causing frustration when browsing the internet. My question: Should I upgrade to a new Wireless N router OR purchase a WiFi Range Extender? since my laptop has a Wireless-G adaptor would a Wireless-N router provide a stronger signal?

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G Signal Strength Bounce After Firmware Upgrade

Dec 10, 2012

Have two WRT54G Wireless Routers.
 
-One WRT54G ver. 6, Firmware Version v1.028
-One WRT54G ver. 6, Firmware Version v2.x 
 
With the WRT54G ver. 6, Firmware Version v1.028.When I ran the android app WiFi Analyzer, I get mixed results.On my Samsung Galaxy S3, I saw my signal on Channel 2, and others around me (two on Channel 6 and two on Channel 11).On my ASUS Transformer Prime TFT201 I see the same signals, but my router signal bounces continously between the baseline (-100dBm?) and about -35dBm.
 
Plugged in the WRT54G ver. 2, Firmware Version v2.x  Channel 8.Hooked it up and got good steady signal strength. It Had 'WPA - Shared Key' but did not have the 'WPA - Personal' that was on the ver. 6. So, I had to go and screw things up. I've upgraded this to Firmware Version: v4.21.5 and guess what? I now have 'WPA - Personal'. I also have a signal is bouncing on BOTH units.
 
On my ASUS, I can see both routers. The ver. 2 AND the ver. 6 are bouncing between baseline and -35dBm, in unison. Apprently something in the ASUS does not like the later Firmwares.On my Samsung I can see the two signals - the ver. 2 on Channel 8 is stable as a rock and the ver. 6 on Channel 2 is also bouncing, but at a much slower rate! Running Speedtest.net a PC hardwired to the ver. 2 - I get 5.34 Mb/s Download and 0.47 Mb/s upload (yeah, my Internet sucks!) Running Speedtest.net through the ASUS/WiFi to the ver. 2 -  I get 2.43 Mb/s Down and 0.65 Mb/s Up.Running Speedtest.net through the Samsung/WiFi to the ver. 2 - I get 5.07 Mb/s Down and 1.07 Mb/s Up.

Adding A Second Modem To Increase Signal In A Part Of House

Feb 5, 2012

I initially had a laptop and a desktop with one Telkom router, running both wireless and wired (Ethernet cable)pics removed for security purpose.My daughters got laptops, and I bought a Netgear Wireless N300 Router/Modem for a better signal.The signal is good, but at the extremes of the house poor.I found on the internet a plan of a Windsurfer and built one. The results were not that impressive.So I thought to incorporate the first router (the Telkom router/modem) somewhere in the LAN for a boost.I changed the first (Telkom) router to a booster, but struggled (used advice from the internet) and stopped the exercise. Some settings were changed on the Telkom modem. So this was the situation for the past 2 years.

Home Network :: Setting Up Two Wireless Connections In The Same House?

Aug 3, 2011

I currently have one wireless router in my house. Of course its hooked up the the modem, but i also have it hooked up directly to my desktop considering the router is on the desk where my computer is.I recently moved to a new house.One of the rooms has a huge brick wall in it, unfortunately the computer is in that room.AND, its on the far left side of the house, so the other side of the wall barely gets any signal (Enough to work, but it bounces and only gets about 2 Megabytes Per Second, which is awful, because the router sends out 20 megabytes per second due to our internet plan.) Now, my room is all the way on the far right side of the house, in my room, i get barely any connection at all, 20% is normal in my room. I have my Playstation 3 in my room, so I had to wire an ethernet cable from the wireless router, up through the attic, to my PS3. I can now get 20 MBPS while playing video games. While that is great, i still don't have a wireless connection back there.

What i want to know is, can i plug in another wireless router to the ethernet cable in my room, sending out another signal. So basically, im plugging up a wireless router to another wireless router, and want them to both send out internet.I plan on getting a gaming laptop in December and will be playing it most of the time in my room. I need to know if this is possible, and if it is, how do i do it?First off, let me state that moving the computer or router in front of the brick wall is completely out of question.Also, know a lot of stuff about computers, but know almost nothing about networking.
