Linksys Wireless Router :: Turn Wrt54gs2 Into A Wifi Access Point?

Sep 1, 2011

I've been having trouble with my wrt54gs2 and 4 360's.  I tried a link someone posted for me to a cisco tutorial, it worked, but only for one 360.  I have a Netgear wndr3400, I HATE the wireless on that router.  Its unreliable but I like the features, the guest network and transfer meter, plus its worked with 4 360's out of the box.  So would it be possible to turn off my wifi on the Netgear and plug the wrt54gs2 in and use its wireless?

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2500 As Wifi Access Point Only?

May 17, 2011

I have an E2500 running as a router/DHCP server. For reasons beyond the scope of this question, I am replacing the router and DHCP functions with a SonicWALL device. I would like to continue to use the E2500 as a wireless access point only, providing WiFi connection to the SonicWALL. How do I set up the E2500 for this purpose. I assume I switch off the DHCP server and NAT within the device. Is there a dedicated "access point" mode?

Linksys Wireless Router :: Using E2500 Wifi Access Point?

Dec 13, 2012

I have an existing home network with a D-link wireless router, IP 192.168.0.1.  In the past, I set up another of the same model Dlink router as a WAP to extend my network by simply disabling DHCP and setting its IP to 192.168.0.100.  Used the same SSID and passwords, worked flawlessly.  Now, my WAP-router has failed and I purchased a LINKSYS E2500 to replace it in that function. I'm trying to configure it the same way but am having problems.The Linksys' IP is 192.168.1.1 by default. I hooked its LAN port to my laptop and accessed the setup page at 192.168.1.1.  I changed the router IP to 192.168.0.200 and disabled DHCP. I saved settings, the router reset, and since, I am unable to re-connect to that router setup screen at either 192.168.0.200 OR the default 192.168.1.1.  I reset the router to default and tried this multiple times but could never get back to the setup page (didn't even configure any wireless settings yet) after I made the IP change and disabled DHCP.  With my previous router, this worked easily and flawlessly.
 
1. What am I doing wrong (ok, other than using Dlink components)?

2. Should these two different brand components work ok together llike this or is that a problem?

3. Why should unticking DHCP and/or changing the IP address as described make the device unreachable?

Linksys Wireless Router :: Local Management For E2500 As Wifi Access Point

Jul 19, 2012

I am using an E2500 as an access point, which is working fine. I have an Ethernet cable on one of the LAN ports of the E2500 connected to a LAN port on my gateway router. The LAN address of the E2500 is 192.168.7.3 and the LAN address of the gateway router is 192.168.7.1. Clients on the E2500 wireless network have no problems getting to the Internet through the gateway router. Clients on the E2500 wireless network can reach the E2500 local management port at 192.168.7.3 on port 80. On the gateway router I am forwarding WAN port 8083 to LAN address 192.168.7.3 at port 80. But I cannot access the E2500 local management interface via the gateway router. The E2500 should see the request as from 192.168.3.1 due to NAT in the gateway router, right? I can reach any of my actual access points this way, just not a router being used as an access point. Security/design limitation of the router?

Linksys Wireless Router :: E3000 Wifi Light Does Not Turn On

Jul 10, 2011

I recently switched my router from an older Linksys WRT 54GS to an E3000. The WRT 54GS was working perfectly fine, but I needed to upgrade to a 802.11n router to use with some of my devices at home. I unplugged all the cables from the WRT54GS, and connected all the cables into the E3000 - in the exact same sockets and order they were on the old router. When powering on, all the lights eventually turned on (Power, Internet and Ports 1 to 4), except the wifi is still off. I tried running the installation CD, but it says it cannot find the network. I tried a reset (back button) as well as 30-30-30 reset, but no matter what I do, the wifi indicator still doesn't turn on. When switching back to the old router, it has no problem broadcasting a wifi signal again. Is there anything else I should try, either on my PC settings or the E3000 router itself?

Linksys Wireless Router ::WRT54GS2 - Ports Are Not Showing Activity

Mar 23, 2012

I have a Linksys model WRT54GS2 with 4 ports, with Ethernet cables connected to ports 1 and 2.  I have a laptop connected by wireless connection, with only an Xbox connected using Port 1 and occasionally port 2.  Just recently, port 1 shows no activity.  When connected to Xbox it doesn't display a check mark showing connection but does with port 2.  I've connected it to port 3 and 4, which shows a check mark but won't connect to Xbox live.  It's like port 2 only works, what I can do to "fix" ports 1, 3, and 4?

Linksys Wireless Router :: Wrt54gs2 V7 Not Working Wirelessly - No Orange Light?

Jun 3, 2012

So I have been having internet problems lately and first thought it was my modem. Figured out it wasn't the modem but the isp.After I woke up the next morning I found the wireless not to we working again but the hard connection to be just fine. I have tried resetting the  router but I'm not entirely sure I went through. The orange light no longer comes on. Wired connection also doesn't work while connected to the router. I have tried 192.168.1.1 and nothing loads. The router and modem are about 5 or 6 years old. A windows xp desktop, windows 7 and vista laptops are on the network with a blue ray player.the router is a wrt54gs2 v7

I think i have to reconfigure the router but I'm not sure. If that's the case why am i having trouble with 192.168.1.1?

Linksys WRT54GS2 Router - Wireless Internet Not Working With Two Devices Simultaneously?

Aug 2, 2012

I have a Linksys WRT54GS2 router, a PC (Windows XP) and a laptop (Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit).I have been using this router for 3 months. I was able to use the internet on both devices simultaneously until now. But suddenly since yesterday it only works for one device at a time, not both.

If I connect to the router then I can access the internet only from the laptop. To use the internet from the PC, I have to power off the router, type in run "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt", and restart the PC. But as the router is off, the internet is inaccessible on the laptop.

While router is on, the PC shows limited or no connectivity.

I tried reseting the router 2-3 times.

On the laptop it sometimes shows "IP address conflict has been detected", even though the IP addresses of the devices were not the same. The IP address of the PC shows 169.X.X.X (when the router is on), whereas the ISP's IP addresses start with 124.X.X.X.

Access Point Or Wifi Signal Booster / D-link Wireless N Gigabit Router

Jan 2, 2013

Got 1 Linksys WRT54G Router on the ground floor which uses PTCL DSL Internet and 1 D-Link Wireless N Gigabit Router on the first floor which uses World Call Cable Internet of my house. So yeah we have two internet connections.Getting weak signals from both of the routers in my room on the far left side of the house and little to no signals in the basementSo what I want to ask is that should I purchase better routers or should I go with a signal booster of some sorts like an Access Point or a Range Extender?Also is there such a device which would catch signals from both of these differently configured routers ( different internets, different wireless security keys etc ) and then boost them throughout the house if placed in an area where both the router signals are strong?

Linksys Access Point :: Cisco 871w - Connecting Panasonic Blu-ray With Wifi?

Sep 19, 2009

I use a Cisco 871W router for my office in home -- I have Wifi working and want to add my new Blu-Ray player to the network -- I bought a  WAP54G to use as a wireless bridge assuming i woudl just connect the WAP to the BLU-Ray with a ethernet cord.     The instructions for installation of the WAP include connecting it to my router for the set up but the installation disk says it is not recognizing the WAP.  I use Brighthouse for my ISP and the connection sequence is BH Modem to teh Cisco 871W --  the 871W directly connects to my CPU  and to a Net gear FS105 fast network Switch -- the swicth connects to my VOIP phone , HP printer and external HD back-up system -- there is an open port onthe FS105 and two open LAN ports on the 871W. 
 
I tried to install the WAP but connecting it to both the router and the swtich without luck. Is the WAP what I need to connect the Blu-Ray --- am i missing something in the set up?

Linksys Access Point :: Wet610n - Connecting Device To Certain Wifi Networks

I am having trouble connecting my device to certain WiFi networks. We work with hotels and we have a handful of devices that are just not able to connect to their network. Te device works fine in my office. When I get to the Setup page and do a site survey, it'll get to 100% and then display a "page can't be found" as oppose to showing me that it has been connected. We had the MAC address cleared in their network and still no luck. Firmware has also been updated.

Cannot Roam Between Wifi Router And Access Point On Same Network

Jan 5, 2012

I have a seemingly simple desire: to achieve acceptable wifi coverage of my entire house and the ability to use my wireless devices in multiple locations within that house. To achieve this aim I have tried a variety of hardware combinations over the last two months but am now at the point where I'm almost ready to abandon the project.In my current setup I have:Downstairs: A new & working Wireless Router (TP-Link TD-W8961ND) from which I can connect to (1) the internet, and (2) the internal network devices (NAS, printer, and network shares). Broadcasting on channel #1. DHCP = On.Upstairs: A new & working Access Point (TP-Link TL-WA801ND).The AP is connected by a physical cable to the downstairs router. The AP is in "Access Point Mode" with the same SSID and security settings as the router.

From the AP I can also connect to (1) the internet, and (2) the internal network devices (NAS, printer, and network shares). Broadcasting on channel #11. DHCP = Off.Clearly therefore, parts of my setup are correct and complete. However, I cannot roam between these two devices. Once a device is connected to one of these devices it cannot connect to the other. When downstairs, if I connect any device (iPad, iPhone, Win7 ThinkPad, WinXP Netbook) to the router's Wifi network, it connects to the router as expected and is fine.

When upstairs, it connects to the second router but cannot get to the internet (it gets an IP address beginning with 169.). It reports a "Strong" connection but simply cannot establish a useful connection with the world outside the house. The same is true if I take a machine that is successfully connected to the upstairs network and move downstairs.Have you successfully setup a wifi network with a TP-Link router and a TP-Link Access Point so that roaming works? If so, what's the secret?! Should I use the "Bridge with AP" mode for the AP?

Set Up A Belkin F5d7230-4 6000 Router As A Wifi Access Point

Oct 28, 2012

how to set up a Belkin F5D7230-4 6000 router as a wifi access point. My home set up is the following: Dell Desktop connected by Lan to a Telefonica/Movistar router (I live in Spain), Dell portable .. connected by wifi at the other end of the house ..saying it's portable is a bit of a joke .. it's old and moving it is not an option ! Problem is I don't get much wifi signal on the portable to be able to do anything at all online so after googling on how to increase wifi signal .. worked out that I could set up an access point.. and owning a belkin router have been trying to set it up although I think there is something

I've connected the belkin by cable to the portable and disabled the DCHP and clicked on set up as an access point, set up wifi security and password, but when i am trying to reset the IP address I end up having to reset the router and start all over again.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Using WRT160N V2 As Access Point?

Mar 22, 2013

I have a FIOS setup with their Router/modem providing DHCP and Wireless routing.  The problem I have is that I have a mix of older equipment and newer equipment.  The newer equipment is capable of supporting WPA2, the older is not.  I would like the benefits of WPA2, but still would like to at times be able to use the older equipment.My solution was to use a WRT160N v2 router that I had as an access point and it also gives me switch capabilities for wired systems as the FIOS router in on a different floor than the Linksys router.  Wired access works just fine and the wireless worked fine until just recently.Since both routers have the same default IP addresses I changed the Linksys to a different static IP and turned off DHCP.  I left all of the other defaults the same.  I set up the Linksys for WEP and created the key for security.  Everything worked fine for the better part of a year, but recently I am having problems where some of the computers cannot find the network or find it then lose connection.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Using WRT320N As Access Point?

Currently everything is working fine, but I've forgotten how to configure the router for this purpose, and I can't  find instructions in the user's guide online.  I seem to remember it being troublesome.  I know I have to assign a different IP address (currently I'm using 192.168.1.113.)  What other settings (if any) need to be changed?
