I'm currently contemplating on purchasing a 2nd WRT54G router with dd-wrt as a 2nd wireless repeater in the house. Just wondering if this would be possible. Current setup is Main router (D-Link DIR-615) on 3rd floor > WRT54G as wireless repeater on 2nd floor. I don't mind the loss of connection speed since the main purpose is to increase coverage to the 1st floor.

After that are we still able to use the internet over al four access points?
I have radio link where i work. Connections have been made to other pcs with an 8 port switch. from that switch i have extended another wire which is nearly 90 mts. that connection iss again connected to several pcs and working fine. But i have again extended another wire of about 90 mts from the 2nd switch. All other connections are working fine on the second switch but there is no light on the switch for the extended one.. Where have i gone wrong? Do i need to place repeaters instead of the second switch??
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan I connect 2 or more wireless repeaters to the same wireless base station signal to extend wireless coverage? I.e. The base station is located in the centre of the building and the signal covers the middle but not the extreme end of the building. I would like to add a repeater on each opposite sides of the signal's reach so it covers the complete building. I can't use LAN cable and the building has different electricity supply to the 3 different part of the building so can't use the mains to carry the signal. Is this possible using wirless repeaters or do I have to use wireless bridge units to connect to the base station and then output with wireless access points attached to the bridge unit to extend the wirless signal?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to setup wireless acces at the warehouse at my work. I have 3 D-Link DWL-2100AP's. 1 is connected to a switch and working properly as an access point. I was able to get another working as a repeater (WLAN light on) but cannot get the 3rd working as a repeater. I configured both repeaters the same way but with different ip addresses. (AP- .10, Repeater1 - .11 and Repeater2 - .12).
I guess the main thing I'm not understanding is how the 2nd repeater connects to the first repeater. Is it supposed to connect to the 1st repeaters MAC or to the AP's MAC? If I unplug the AP, the 2nd repeater won't pick up the 1st repeaters MAC. Both repeaters were connected to the AP. basically Switch -> AP -> Repeater -> Repeater.
I have an old metal-walled mobile home that I plan on converting to a combination shop and man-cave; it's about 200 feet from my home's computer room, where I have a Netgear WNDR3400 wireless-n router. The only place in the trailer where I can "see" my home network is the kitchen window, and I thought about putting a Wi-Fi repeater there to extend the home network into the trailer. But I have read that using a repeater will cut the network's Wi-Fi throughput in half -- which would not please my wife and daughters back at the house. Is there a simple, relatively inexpensive way to extend the network to the trailer without slowing everything down? Eventually I may have Charter install a separate cable hookup there, which would allow a separate high-speed Internet connection too. For now, I just want to "share" Wi-Fi to the trailer.

View 3 Replies View Relatedmy goal is to share my cable modem signal over my two story house using two wireless routers. The delima is that the routers don't support wireless bridging and if they did, the signal is too weak to make it worth while.
The remedy I came up with... buy a pair of powerline network adapters and connect one router to the other so I could have a good signal upstairs and then a good signal downstairs.
Downstairs, I have the cable modem connected to the Linksys WRT54G router, which has a line out to my blu ray player, wirelessly feeds a PC downstairs and then has a cable run to the powerline adapter.
Upstairs, I have a cat5 connecting the powerline adapter (which was tested and works with laptop) to the data input port on my second wireless router, the netgear wndr3400.
I can't get the netgear upstairs to pull an IP address from the linksys router downstairs over the powerline network.
Here's the current configuration in our organization (which I believe is incorrect):We have a number of Cisco 1500 series AP's (22 in total), that are mounted outdoors to provide seamless WiFi coverage over a large area. Each AP however has its own physical ethernet connection back to the WLC (All the AP's are marked as Root AP's). They are all broadcasting the same SSID. We have tried to stagger the channel selection but because there are only three non-overlapping channels to choose from, and in some areas the density of AP's is quite high, there is multiple places of channel interference. With this configuration we experience 100-150 disconnects from clients every day. (Our clients are mobile so they move throughout the coverage area constantly).
My idea is to switch the AP's to the same channel thereby forming a wireless mesh, use the built in functionality of the 1500 series to use 802.11a as the backhaul, designate one or two AP's as root AP's and wire them back to the WLC. Thereby forming a WiFi mesh, which if I'm not mistaken is the point of the 1500 series in the first place!
I am however completely new at WiFi networks and wondering if I am simply mistaken in what I believe my proposed changes will enable, or if there is a better way to tackle the WiFi topology.
i've connected LAN-to-LAN an E1200 to WRT54G to improve wireless coverage in the basement and, more importantly, in the can. the set up seems to work. i also have an airport express joined to the network. (the slaved router's ip is one more than the master and DHCP is off.)i'm still curious about some details of the setup for the slaved router:
-- should it have the same SSID and the master?
-- on the master router, i have WPA2 Personal and a MAC filter of allowed devices. do i need to duplicate those settings on the slave? will it obey the MAC filter and WPA2?
-- do all the routers need to be on the same channel?
-- do all the routers routers need to use the same broadband? the E1200 has N band i'd like to use with the G, if that's possible.
-- if all the routers are on the same channel and SSID, will their signals interfere with each other if they're too close?
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.
I bought a tp-link WA701ND and a netgear WGR614. i wish to pick up signal using 701 and then let 614 repeat it. no more tech support coz im already broke.

I am trying to set up a desktop computer to have a wireless usb adapter running so I can connect to the Wireless-G Broadband Router. When I run the setup CD for the wireless usb adapter it asks me to push the Wi-Fi Protected Setup Button on the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router.
I have looked at the Linksys router found an obscure button on the front with the Cisco Systems Copyright logo on it. I pushed this but the wireless usb adapter failed to locate the wireless network. There is also another button on the back of the Linksys Router that is a Reset button.
In the past couple of years, I've picked up a couple of Linksys WRT54G routers for a buck or two at flea markets. I hadn't thought about the fact that no assigned SSID or Password came with them. I downloaded the Linksys set-up files from their website and recently set up both of them for relatives. They work great but they are "unsecured networks". I'd like to change that.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'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.
I have a linksys router model#wrt54gt v1 and I can not pull up the router's ip address to change the security settings. I have checked and I have the correct IP address of 192.168.1.1. I can ping the router and everything hooked up to the router is now working correctly. I was having problem with the router losing the internet ip address and having to turn everything off and then back on to connect to the internet. I reset the router and it seems to have corrected that problem but I now can not pull up the router's ip address. I have tried in Internet Explorer and Firefox. I have tried typing thebefore the ip address but it will not pull up. I have read countless posts trying to trouble shoot and figure out what's wrong with it and nothing will work.

The satellite modem connection to one of the WAN ports and configuring the RV042 as my DHCP server is not a problem, but how I should configure my wrt54g to the dual wan router for load sharing?I suspect a IT professional might understand this intuitively, but I am unsure how to pass through my public address from the Linksys to the RV042 WAN port.
