Linksys Wireless Router :: Is It Possible To Extend Range Of WRT54GX V
Aug 6, 2012
I am trying to use the Netgear WNR 2000 V3's repeater function to wirelessly extend the range of a Linksys WRT54GX V.2. I have the SSID's and channels the same. I had the Netgear working great as an extender with my Apple Airport Extreme base station (equipped with WDS). As far as I know, the Linksys is not equipped with WDS.

Just purchased WRT54GL for family friend to extend the wireless range of their DSL via 2Wire ATT modem Wireless router. One desktop computer will stay wired to the 2Wire and laptop or 2 will connect to the WRT54GL since the 2Wire cannot reach into the yard (metal buiding). I've seen several examples of connecting two WRT54G together. I Can I do that well with std Linksys software or would I be better off downloading Tomato or DD-WRT third party?

I have the WRT610N, and I was wondering if there is a way to repeat the 5GHz network to extend the range.I am trying to stream content from a Blu-Ray player, and while the 2.4GHz network reaches, the signal is very weak. The 5GHz network doesn't reach, but I would prefer to stream content through that network than the 2.4GHz.

I would like to know what to buy to extend the range of my wireless network , which will not reach throughout my house.
Also, I would like to know what the button is for on the front of of the router, since it is not a WPS button, according to ATT.

I have a WRP400 connected to the internet, and have a WAG160N that I no longer use and would like to to extend my wireless range.I connected them via an Ethernet cable and it seems to work fine without configuring the WAG160N (seemed to just work automatically), but I can't access the WAG160N admin GUI (tried all sorts of IPs in the WRP400 range) to change any settings (frustrating). My guess is that it's probably not the best way to set it up.
1. Set the IP of the WAG160N (The WRP400 is set to 192.168.15.1, so should I change the WAG160N to 192.168.15.2. Or should I be setting it within the WRP400's DHCP range which starts at 192.168.15.100?)
2. Swtich off the DHCP on the WAG160N. (I think I tried this late last night and it wouldn't assign an IP to my laptop, unless I did somehting wrong)
3. Connect the two using a ethernet cable.
After I do this I should still be able to access the WAG160N's admin GUI with the IP assigned in step 1?

Trying to access my corporate VPN. My laptop can successfully VPN in anytime I'm on the road, but not through my WRT54gx at home. I've enabled the VPN pass through but my expertise ends there.

The router in on the 2nd floor and I am sitting on 1st floor and the signal fluctates on my laptop and blackberry. keeps going between 3 and 4 bars.. my old linksysm wrt54gx with SRX alway delivered a steady 4 bars. Read what others are saying and believe it.I even tried just using 2.4, split between 2.4 and 5. no better in any combination.I have to admit I do like the configuration screen.

So i have this old WRT54GX v2. It have been running fine for the last ~5years. But since this morning i'm losing my wired connection after about 10 sec og connectivity, can't even ping it when it drops. If i turn it off for 10 sec the same problem occurs. Tried both static ip and dhcp. Wireless doesn't work either.

I have been having numerous issues with my router dropping both my wired and wireless connection multiple times an hour. I checked the Cisco website for the firmware update and it says the download is no longer available. I am on firmware 1.02.06. Does someone have a newer version? I'm hoping a firmware update will resolve this issue.

I have a BT home hub 2.0A (BT is our ISP) it covers most of our house except for my bedroom. I have two spare routers i'm not using, one is a Speedtouch ST585 v6 and the other is a Belkin F5D7632-4 and was wondering if I could use these to extend the range of the home hub wirelessly. As far as I can tell I cannot install dd-wrt on any of these 3.

Our wireless router is in a room at one end of the house (beside the telephone point) from which ethernet cables can connect to the Cat5 sockets taking the broadband to the other rooms that have a Cat5 socket. That is fine for connecting devices to the sockets in the other rooms but because the house is old with thick walls our wifi signal fades to nothing in some parts of the house. Moving the wireless router only moves the problem to another area. I thought about a wifi repeater but the room I would like to locate it in to then boost the signal to the rest of the house is borderline on the range for the wireless router. Is it possible to connect another wireless router or device to the main wireless router through the Cat5 cabling so that the second router/device can offer wifi to that area of the house?

I have a couple of computers that are out of range of my router so I came up with a unique solution. I have an old laptop with 2 wireless cards that I put halfway between. It is working but I have a few oddities. First of all, the out of range computer is connected to another wireless router that several laptops and another (wired) PC connect to. It has ICS (Windows XP internet connect sharing) enabled. This rules out using ICS on the laptop as 2 pc's would have the address of 192.168.0.1.

I get 10% signal in my bedroom using WEP2 and I would like to boost this to at least 50%
1) I have 2 DIR-655 Wireless N routers, both functional.
2) The first router is on the other side of the house from my room
3) The second router is not in use at all ... I'd like to take advantage of it
4) I have an Ethernet drop in my bedroom that runs under the house to the first router. I have a switch on that drop and use it for my Sony / Netflix box ...
I have been told that the DIR-655 cannot be used as a repeater. Can I not take advantage of the 2nd router to boost my signal in any way?

I have a WRVS4400N v2 acting as a gateway connected to a cable modem and am interested in extending it's range by placing a WAP4410N elsewhere in the building to cover a deadspot. Is there a mode on the WAP to best achieve this (e.g., wireless repeater, bridge, etc.)? I had assumed that it would be the wireless client/repeater mode, but the thread below leads me to believe otherwise, but is not labeled as resolved.
[URL]
As a different approach, could I extend the range of the original gateway WRVS4400N by dropping a second WRVS4400N in the deadspot and setting it to router mode? Language in the WRVS4400N v2 administrator screens lead me to believe that I could try this but I am unclear as to whether it would work wirelessly or need to be connected to the gateway via an ethernet cable, which is what I am trying to avoid.

I have two Dir-655's - router1 and router2.
Router1:
ip 192.168.0.1
subnet 255.255.255.0
DHCP enabled range = 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200
Router 2:
ip 192.168.0.2
subnet 255.255.255.0
DHCP disabled
Routers are connected to each other via LAN ports with a switch in between.Both routers have the same wireless SSID with the same password. I am able to connect wirelessly to both routers no problem.
I have a machine running a shared iTunes library which has a wired connection to router1. I also have an Apple TV wired to router2. My issue is if I am connected wirelessly to router2 I may or may not be able to connect to iTunes library. Conversely, if I am connected wirelessly to router1 I may or may not be able to play content from iTunes to Apple TV. I cannot figure out why everything works fine sometimes yet at other times I cannot connect devices between the two routers.

Yesterday a second hand WRT54GX v2 arrived. I updated the firmware to the latest version and updated the settings.My problem is that I can't connect to the internet using wireless. Somethimes he connect for a moment. The only thing i can do is entering the webpage of the router. Windows 7 says that there is a problem with DNS. Every thing works fine for wired.

My friend just moved into a new apartment complex and they provide wifi for their residents but the coverage sucks in his apartment. He can only get a decent signal in the one corner of his place. Is there a way to use an old linksys WRT54g router to "extend" the network and provide better coverage in his apartment?

I just purchased a E2500 wireless router to upgrade from the previous G- router which I was using. I'm not very experienced in tech issues and would like to know, what would be the easiest way to extend my wireless signal through out the house. The E2500 which I just purchased does not cover all the areas in my household.

At one of our offices, we have a Cisco ASA5505 firewall that has dhcp enabled. I have a WRT54G router plugged into that firewall with DHCP enabled. The scope of our inside network is 192.168.51.***, however when connected to the WRT54G, it gives you the scope of 192.168.1.***We have an antenna amplifier screwed into one of the antenna ports on the router. This whole setup works fine.
The problem is we need to install an access point WAP54G in a building across the property (picks up router wireless signal fine) to repeat the wireless signal to the back of the property where the router will not reach. I have read that all you need to do is type in the wireless mac address of the routher into the access point and select "Wireless Repeater". I have the channels set to 6 on both devices as well as the same security configuration. When I try to connect to the wireless network on the access point, It never gives me an ip in the 192.168.1.*** scope, which the WRT54G is configured to give out. Also, in this setup does the WRT54G need to be set to router or gateway mode? I do not need it to distribute ip addresses. [code]

I have available two Linksys Wireless-G Broadband routers (WRT54G2) which were given to me by a family member. We have been using one of the routers by itself for quite some time, but do not have adequate signal throughout our home. I decided it would be easier to design the floor plan of the house for you to see its location in relation to the rest of the house regarding walls and what not. We have HughesNet Satellite internet which is located on the roof just about the location of the modem and router in the bottom right of image.
What do you think would be the best location of the main router? I have read it would be best centrally located since the signal travels horizontally and vertically. I just purchased a 100' Ethernet cable since the only one we had was what the HughesNet installer provided us with which is about 4'. I was originally thinking I would route the cable from the main router to the basement where the second router would be placed since the signal down there is about 1 out of 3 bars on my iPhone. The signal upstairs in the main room (room in top middle of image) ranges from 3-5 out of 5 bars on my laptop.
I just wanted to place a post sooner rather than later to see what your opinions were on the location of the main router and what I have in order to increase the signal.
