Connect a wired network to the Verizon Mi. Fi 2. 20. 0. Okay, well I thought I had it down, but now the customer's router blew up, and I did not screen- shot the whole thing, so..

Installing Tomato. First thing you’ll want to do is set up your router on your network. By default, most routers will have an internal IP address of 192.168.1.1.

In this post I will talk on how you can configure, With Lan Wire and Wireless, the router with ADSL broadband Modem. This can be similar to other modems also. Hi Jeff! Switch is not required, since being a repeater it only repeats (extends) the signal of your main access point, thus hardwiring it to another device is useless.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Configure E2500 As A Range Extender? Feb 1, 2013. My main router is connected to the modem and is an E4500 (upstairs on one end of house).

The part where you have: "Mi- Fi Gateway ip = 1. I think this is the Mi- Fi's own gateway, right? And the Mi. Fi gives out 0. Or is it 1. 2 to 1. I inadvertently gave my 'client router' a 1. Mi. Fi at the Verizon Mi.

Linksys Router using DD- WRT firmware v. Gateway = 1. 92. 1.
This! This is what I am curious about - To 'which' gateway does this refer?

Personally, I don't really know the difference, but I know that, effectively, the 'client router' is, indeed, acting as a 'bridge,' in its capacity of bridging a wired network to a wireless network. Also NOTE: Once you place your router into "Client" or "Client Bridged" mode, you no longer will have the option on the initial router setup page to choose a Static IP for the WAN interface so, a point of clarification would be useful, such as: "WARNING! Set your WAN static IP information BEFORE putting the router into Client or Client Bridged mode!"And one final question: Did you change the router at all from "Gateway" mode; i.
Router" mode? It never was mentioned and I don't remember if I did that on the initial successful setup or not? Any help would be greatly appreciated - and thanks again for an exceptional summary / cheat sheet! Whether you do the screen- shots or not, when I get it working, I definitely will (acutally, I already screen- shotted everything I've tried so far, so I should be very close to having enough info for a "play- by- play, with screen- shots.").
How to configure a linksys WAP5. G (access point)This device offers 4 modes of configuration.
But you have to be careful because we cannot just set this access point into any mode without checking first for its compatibility. I will show you how to configure the device manually.
Before the steps, here are the four ways this device is capable of functioning. First as a plain Access Point, needs to be connected into a wired device (e. Second, as a Repeater, now you have to take note that it only works as a repeater with another linksys wireless router, not any wireless router but specifically WRT5. G all versions. Another configurations, Access Point Client and as a Wireless Bridge, also take note that when set to “AP Client” and “Wireless Bridge” mode, this device will only communicate with another Linksys Access Point (WAP5.
G), preferably same hardware and firmware version. Important Note: AP Client, Wireless Repeater, and Bridging modes, make sure the SSID, channel, and Security/WEP key settings are the same for all access points.
WPA will not work with an AP Client, Wireless Repeater and Wireless Bridge modes. Device IP is 1. 92. ACCESS POINT MODE – this mode allows wireless client to connect to the access point and routes traffic between the wireless and wired interface. Use this mode to create a standard wireless Infrastructure network. By default the AP mode is set to Access Point. Push the reset button while it’s powered up, release the reset button then unplug and replug the power cord.
If your router’s IP address is 1. Internet Explorer or any browser. On the address bar type in 1. If you are configuring the device without a router or if the router has a local IP address other than 1. IP address, eg. 1. Open a browser an access 1. By default in the setup page under Network Setup, Configuration type is set to Static IP, leave it as it is or if your router has different Network settings (ex.
IP address following the range of your existing network (1. IP address of your router, save settings. Click now on AP MODE subtab, select on Access Point and save the settings. Click now on Wireless and configure your wireless settings (WIRELESS SECURITY subtab and select the desired encryption (WEP, WPA- Personal, WPA2- Personal, WPA2- mixed, WPA- enterprise, RADIUS), these are the security supported on the latest version releases.
Take note of your encryption and of course save the settings. Turn off the access point and unplug it from the computer, set the computer’s IP address back to Obtain. Connect the access point to your router/switch regular port and power it up. It’s ready now for testing. Should there be any problem, try to powercycle the whole network (modem- router- access point). Wireless Repeater – This mode will turn the access point into a wireless repeater.
Enter the wireless MAC address of the access point whose signal you would like to repeat.– Do the same things you did in setting the device to AP but this time on the AP Mode tab, select on WIRELESS REPEATER radio button and make sure you know the WIRELESS MAC ADDRESS of your router or another WAP5. G (STATUS tab > Wireless) since you need to input that in the blank field alloted. Save the settings and check if you can connect. AP Client – this will allow the device to act as a wireless client. You can enter the Wireless MAC address of the Access Point or use the Site Survey button to select the Access Point you want to connect.– Under the AP Mode tab, select AP Client and push on the Site Survey button to check for the wireless network you want to connect and select it, automatically it will copy its Wireless MAC or you can manually type in the wireless mac of your network source. Wireless Bridge – This is to create a wireless connection between two or more wired networks.
This mode connects the physically separated, wired network using multiple access points. Wireless clients will not be able to connect to the access point in this mode. Enter the wireless MAC address of the wireless access points that you would like to bridge together.– Know the Wireless MAC of your other Access Point and input it on the blank field. And do the same thing to the other WAP, they just change Wireless MAC to ensure that they only recognize each other. No intrusion from another network. That’s it!! If you are having hard time connecting after configuring everything, make sure you perform a complete power cycle. Contributed by: Pinks.

I started out with a wireless router/modem that my ISP provides as its default modem. It was and still is working fine.
We will call this router A. My uncle who is living with me wasn't receiving the wifi signal in his room so he went and bought a different router that is supposed to have more range.
Also, I believe it is capable of providing higher speeds wirelessly, but that is really irrelevant I think. We can call this new router B. I currently have router B running through router A with an ethernet cable into a LAN port- LAN port to LAN port. I basically want B to be a wireless range extender. My question is quite simple actually. I have everything up and running just fine, but it seems as if the wireless signal may still be coming from the old router A.

View 9 Replies. View Related. Aug 2. 0, 2. 01. 1I'm a bit confused about what a wireless range extender gives me. I have bought a Sitecom Wireless Range Extender 3. N. This extends the wireless range of your router to parts of the house that have a weak signal or none atall. It is setup correctly and is working fine, however, the SSID is different from the Router. Essentially, I want to extend the range of my router to parts of the house that have a low signal.
This range extender seems to be the correct product to do this. However, I want my clients to switch to the appropriate wireless access point (either the range extender or my router) depending on the strongest signal, how can this be configured? When a client is the overlap area (the area where both the router and the range extender can be sensed) I want the client to switch to the strongest signal. In my case My Router is in the loft and the range extender downstairs. You can still get a low signal from the router when you are downstairs but the range extender give a full signal.
