Linksys Wireless Router :: Configuring WRT54G With New TP-Link 740n?
Jun 16, 2012
I have a Linksys WRT54g router that works fine, but the signal is not very good on some points of the house.So I bought a TP-Link 740n to use as a second router. My idea is to connect both routers with a 10 meters lan cable that I have, to make the signal better on points that are distant from the main router (Linksys) or separated by walls. When job is done, will I see two different networks (one for each router) on my laptop or only the "original" signal (WRT54g)?

The 740N I got is pretty old now so I have another router and I want to use 740N as a bridge to extend my main router's wireless service. The main router has Mac Filtering enabled and I've entered the 740N's Mac address into the main router. I have switched off 740N's DHCP, changed it's IP etc. I can connect to 740N but 740N is not connecting to the main router. I've tried the same thing at my office where the main router is a 8961ND and I successfully bridged and connected the 740N but it's not working at my home.

Our office has 2 connections to the internet. Each connection comes into our building through a Linksys WRT54G router. I like to connect the routers together through their ethernet ports so that we can share resources such as printers and etc. Should I config each router such that they are actually on the same network? For example:Router 1:Router IP 192.168.1.1DHCP serves 192.168.1.100-150Router 2:Router IP 192.168.1.2DHCP serves 192.168.151-200

After clearing my hard drive, I needed to reinstall EasyLink Advisor for my WRT54G wireless router. The first part of the reinstallation is successful, I get to the screen that says Welcome to EasyLink Advisor. I press the Setup button, then the computer searches for several minutes. After the system comes right back to the same starting screen, not completing the setup nor giving an error message from it.

I'm trying to troubleshoot a wireless network at an Inn which is shared among three buildings. The internet at the main building works fine.
However there is a WDS set up for the other two houses that are part of the property. The network is a bit of a mess IMO. The main problem is that routers on the end of the WDS chain work for awhile after booting, but frequently stop issuing IPs. When a device tries to connect it says unable to configure IP or something like that. Rebooting the router always fixes the problem.
My networking knowledge is very limited but I think some settings must be incorrect. I will try to described the setup here..
All of the following routers are WRT54G's with DDWRT
Main router: 192.168.1.1 [different SSID that WDS], all routers forward DHCP to this router
WDS router 192.168.1.3 at main building is connected to an cantenna that shoots the signal over to 1st house. Gateway & Local DNS set to 192.168.1.1
WDS router 192.168.1.4 at that house is the main AP for that house and gets its signal from 1.3's cantenna. Gateway & Local DNS set to 192.168.1.3
WDS router 192.168.1.5 under the deck at the 1st house picks up that signal from 1.4 and uses a cantenna to send it to the 2nd house. Gateway & Local DNS set to 192.168.1.4
WDS router 192.167.1.6 under the deck of the 2nd house gets the signal from 1.5's cantenna. Gateway & Local DNS set to 192.168.1.5
The IP configuration problems happen at the 2nd house with 192.168.1.6. I believe 1.5 also has IP configuration problems but that router is not used other than to transmit to 1.6. Again rebooting the router fixes the issues temporarily. It works for a couple days up to a couple weeks before the IP problems start.
Mac addresses for the WDS are set of course. I have been trying to experiment with settings for awhile, but do not really know what I am doing. I am not the one who set this up.
Also under the Advanced Routing tab,here are the Static Routing settings:
192.168.1.3: Destination LAN NET: 192.168.1.0, Gateway: 192.168.1.1
192.168.1.4: Destination LAN NET: 192.168.1.3, Gateway: 192.168.1.1
192.168.1.5: Destination LAN NET: 192.168.1.4, Gateway: 192.168.1.3
192.168.1.6: Destination LAN NET: 192.168.1.5, Gateway: 192.168.1.4
Update: looks like STP should be enabled for WDS? Going to try enabling that I guess.

We are trying to change our already wireless router to a new wireless router. Changing from a lynksis wrt54g to a d-link DIR-815.We tried using the quick router setup wizard they provided but it wasn`t able to connect to the internet to continue, then we tried manual setup (going on the web-based connection thing) since the wizard stopped working and we tried a manual setup.

I need to front-end my ISP's router with another, giving me a DMZ. I have bought an EA2700 for this but I can't find how to configure it.
I plan to have the DMZ network as 10.1.2.0/24, with the ISP's router at 10.1.2.254 and the EA2700's "upstream" connection as 10.1.2.1. The internal network (where most of the clients reside) will then be 10.1.1.0/24, with the EA2700 itself at 10.1.1.254 and a DHCP range 10.1.1.100 upwards.
On the basic setup screen I've set the Internet connection type to fixed IP, 10.1.2.1; I've set its default gateway and DNS1 as the ISP's router at 10.1.2.254. Then further down in network setup I've entered the *internal* address 10.1.1.254 and set the DHCP range and netmask appropriately. I'm getting the error message "The IPv4 address and gateway are not in the same subnet mask". But the only gateway I've entered is the one by which the *EA2700* knows how to route upstream traffic, viz the ISP's router at 10.1.2.254. Or am I misunderstanding?
More fundamentally, can the EA2700 be configured in this way?

I recently bought an EA2700 in hopes that it will make my connection faster, stronger signal and stable. However, this is not the case. The connections keeps dropping and the range is the same as my Verizon-FiOS router. Anyway, I'm hoping that a fix be distributed to address this issue. I can't return my router to the vendor anymore.
Now, since I have two routers, I want to be able to leverage EA2700's dual-band feature and the Guest-access feature but I can't make this as a main router since my FiOS router should still be able to supply IP addresses to my cable boxes, thus, I can't configure it as a Bridge. I'm thinking if I just split the IP distribution as follows:
FiOS router: 192.168.1.2-110
EA2700: 192.168.1.111-150

I'm looking to upgrade my WRT54G as I have had NO luck in getting my Galaxy Tab to connect through it so far (can connect and get an IP address but can't get out to the web) and have had intermittent problems with my Blu-ray lately. I am looking for something with the best affordable range, live 3 floors down from the current one and get about 3/4 signal strength so there's not much interference it seems. I watch a lot of online content through Hulu, Netflix, and LMB games and share with 2 other people.I am looking at the E series, probably the E1200, 1500 or 1550 as they seem to meet my needs. Any users have any advice about the ease of install and use of either of these? Or would it be better to get a gateway as we are considering going from DSL to U-verse service, twice the speed for $2/month more

I am following instructions I found to set up my wirelss network, but am having trouble configuring my router. I'm specifically at a standstill, because I can't connect to http://192.168.1.1. I pinged the router and got a response and went to run/ip config to confirm I have the right URL for the router, but still not able to get to the URL.

I just purchased 2 E2000 routers at BB and was assured the second one could be configured as a repeater access point. Some current messages indicate this is not possible.Will a Cisco moderator please confirm and clarify repeater options.

I have an old wireless router lying behind me and I want to use that old router as a switch. That old router is a knock-off,no-name router brand called "Gigafast" and the model number is WF19-CAPR. There are also variants to that router name as well.The router that I currently have is a Linksys WRT54G wireless-G router. I'm planning to upgrade the wireless router in favor of Wireless-N in the near future.I want to know how can I use that particular Gigafast router as a switch and I want to link that router up to my WRT54G router. The scenario goes as follows:
Cable internet connection ----> WRT54G router ---> Gigafast router (as a switch)
The IP address for the WRT54G router is 192.168.1.1, while the Gigafast router is 192.168.1.254. I may know by now that I have to disable DHCP on the gigafast router and I have to change an IP address to something that is "not in range" with the WRT54G router, am I right?I want to expand the number of ports, so I can connect with future devices such as a VoIP ATA adapter, a laptop and possibly an entertainment box (i.e. Apple TV or Boxee box)

I have a WRT54G wireless router that I haven't used in years because my old cable provider supplied me with a router. I recently switched cable providers & they don't provide a wireless routers. I would like to use my WRT54G router, but I don't have the cd. I figured it wasn't a problem because I can just do a manual setup using the ip address 192.168.1.1. I receive the pop up window to enter the user name & password. I follow the instructions & just type in the password field the word admin & l left the user name blank but it doesn't work.

I have a few devices at my home that connect wirelessly to the internet via wrt54g. I want to connect to the internet via VPN. I would like to find out if it is possible to connect WRT54G router to the VPN via PPTP or L2TP? The VPN company provided me with PPTP and L2TP credentials. I can access vpn via OpenVPN on computers but I would like my TV connect to the internet also via VPN.

My 'network' looks like this:
CABLE MODEM ===> WRT54G
WRT54G Port1 ===> PC
PC is running Windows/XP sp3 with all updates installed. It has no wireless adapter.WRT54G model number sticker shows ver.2. I don't think the firmware has ever been upgraded.This used to work. What has changed? The laptop that used to connect wireless is dead. I now have a 2nd PC that sits on the same table as the old PC. It has no wireless adapter at this point, but eventually either it, or the old computer, will be getting its internet connection wireless-ly, as the computers will be physically in separate rooms. I can't see how these changes would affect the operation of the router.

I have a WRT54G router that's worked for a very long time. I had WEP security set up and it worked fine until recently. About a week ago my three year old son managed to reset the router (I'm still not sure how). When I go onto the web-based setup page I am unable to change the wireless security setting. I select an option from the drop down menu but then the page reloads and nothing has changed.

how i should set up my new valet m-10.Im currently using a WRT54G as my main router connected to my modem in my home office, and a WAP54 set up as a repeater in the living Room. We have multiple devices still using Wireless G, and a few that have Wireless N so im wanting to use the valet just for my N devices and My WRT54 & WAP54 for the G. So do I just cascade the valet off the WRT54? or should I make the Valet the main Router and cascade the G routers? the reason I have the repeater is because the wireless signal is weak in the living room and bedrooms.

I recently set up a wrt54g router that I got used from a friend. I pressed the 'reset' button on the back, configured it for my computer according to the instructions on the website, and everything worked fine for a couple of days. Then I lost connectivity, tried powercycling my modem, but had to reset and reconfigure the router again. Worked fine again for a couple of days, then the problem repeated itself, so I reset and reconfigured again.

Situation: I have one Internet connection and I have need of two networks. One filtered with OpenDNS and the other unfiltered. I have a Speedstream DSL router provided by ISP for connecting to Internet. I have two WRT54G's and would like to utilize them to form two networks. The Speedstream is a router with a gateway address of 192.168.1.254.
From that Speedstream (only one network plug) I would like to go to a 5port switch. From that switch, I would like to configure the two WRT's to be two different networks (one using OpenDNS settings for filtering) with one having a 192.168.1.x address scheme and the other (no Internet filtering) having a 192.168.10.x scheme. Both would have DHCP enabled for their networks and the Speedstream would have DHCP disabled. There is not a need (at this point) to have the networks communicate.

Ive had a WRT54G v5 for awhile now. And just recently I went out of town and had turn off my router. When coming back and turning everything back on for some reason both wired and wireless components both have a connection then it loses the connection for awhile and comes back on. Ive power cycled both the router and modem. Called my provider and they said it was my router after doing some diagnostic tests. I tried to update the firmware and ive tried to restore to factory settings. Still it has a connection then it loses it.. Ive noticed on the modem when its not working that only the SENT light is flashing. (modem has power,received,sent, cable,pc). It is on AUTO DHCP and gets a ip and everything.
