We have the Cisco WRT54G wifi router in many offices in this building. This router has two antennas. These antenna are screw into the back of the router unit. The antenna is male and router side is female of the connector. what are these connectors (some type of RF connectors)? How can we get extension cables for these to move the antenna from one fix location to another point?

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy housemates have been having a trouble with network coverage in my house, the router is located in the basement of my house, perfect for me as my room is also down there (Ethernet). Unfortunately my housemate in the attic room's signal seems to be a problem. I'm wondering if it would be possible to remove one of my routers two antennas solder some copper wire to the spot it was removed, then have the wire go up to the 1st floor and re-solder the antenna up there (mount it on the wall or something). I'm confident with the practicalities of actually doing this, but I'm not that techie when it comes to electronics. I'm not sure whether it would need more power to boost it over such a distance.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Linksys WAG320N wireless N router which provides wireless coverage to only a part of my apartment. I'm trying to extend the wireless coverage by using an Apple Airport Express (1st Gen). The only way this would make sense would be to extend wirelessly.
1) is this technically possible? I had assumed so when buying the Airport Express
2) Do I have to change some settings inside my WAG320N to make it "Extensible" ?
I am in the process of installing a new wireless network in our offices and I was wondering if I can add an extension to the cable that connects my AIR-ANT-1728 to my AIR-CAP-3502e AP to get better coverage in our offices?

(My 3 other computers and printer) Well lo and behold the network does not work at all.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI replaced my old separate modem and router yesterday for a Linksys WAG160N. Basically , my next door neighbor is paying their ISP a fortune and hardly uses their internet at all. Ive offered for them to share mine (With both of us providing full consent , i'm not doing anything dodgy!) as i have a very big download quota and it would save them some money.
Now the 2 houses are separated by an alley but distance from the router to their computer is about 6m. Strangely , my WAG160N doesn't reach that far as my wireless network doesn't even appear when they in their house on their laptop!So after reading up on wireless bridges / wireless range extenders and all sorts of things i'm now very confused.
Im basically looking for the most cost effective way of extending the signal from my WAG160N , possibly through the use of a second router in my garage) to allow the neighbor to get a good signal. I cannot reposition my modem/router from its current location and also cannot connect a second router using an Ethernet cable , it must be done wireless. So , is there a way i can wireless connect my WAG160N to another wireless router in order to extend my signal for my neighbor to use? I was looking at the Netgear WN2000RPT and the WRT160N as someone else had previous success with using this as a repeater.
I am recieving error 619 (port for connection was closed) when trying to connect over my wireless connection. If I disconnect the WRT54G and hard wire to the cable modem I can VPN in without a problem. I have enabled IPSec / PPTP / L2TP on the VPN security tab and have reset the wireless modem.

My wireless router in my downstairs office won't reach an upstairs bedroom on the other side of my house. I'd like to extend the range. It is not clear if my best option is to get an antenna to boost the range (such as an Alfa 500mW AWUS036H USB Wireless Adapter 802.11 b/g Network Radio Card. Includes 2dBi Omni Antenna ), or to get a repeater to repeat the signal, such as a Hawking HWREN1 Hi-Gain Wireless-300N Range Extender. I also don't know if Linksys has a product for either application that works with 802.11n standard.Finally, since the Linksys E2500 has no antenna or antenna port visible, I am nod sure if an antenna such as the Alfa listed above or a Hawking HSB2 HiGain Signal Booster would even work with the E2500.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Linksys e3000 and a Linksys WRT120NVery simple setup. the 3000 is in my office. There is a cable that goes from this routerto the living room across the house, it is just laying there. Since I cannot get a wireless signal into that room,I would like, using the cable that is hanging there to make use of the other linksys and provide a wireless signal to the living room, all under the same network. In essence, extending the wireless network using the cable in the living room that is connected to the main router in my office.My question is, without touching the master router, how would I set the 2nd router in the living room up?I understand that DHCP on the 2nd router needs to be turned off, and a channel selected so that it does not overlap. Same SSID, Sam WPA2 key.Or would there be a device better suited for this?I do not want to extend the 2 rooms wirelessly I want to use the cable, then use the wireless in the living room for wireless devices etc.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI live in a house with three floors. I have a Virgin Media Superhub on the ground floor with the 30MB package. Whilst the wireless signal quality and speed is good on the ground and first floor, it is intermitent on the second floor and my son wants to connect his PS3 with a wired connection for speed.
I have a N wireless router that I was using before I receiced the new Virgin Superhub. I want to ask if I can connect the old wireless router in my son's room on the second floor and connect it with a Cat5e ethernet cable to the Superhub on the ground floor. This way, I will have a wired connection on the ground floor for my desktop computer, my son will have a wired connection for his PS3 and laptop and his own wireless network.
I just want to know if this will work with an ordinary cable wireless router? Or do I need some sort of special access point? If this will work, do I connect the cable from the Superhub to the WAN port of the old router, or to one of the four other ethernet ports?
