Security with WEP for Linksys BEFW11S4 Wireless-B Routers?? I'm trying to add security to the internet connection, such as WEP or WPA2 Personal, but it never seems to be applied. The same could be said about trying to change the name of the connection. Has anyone successfully been able to add a security key??

At the bottom of the page that you changed is a Save Settings option. You have to save the settings and the button is at the bottom of the screen ( scroll down)

Hi, Chris. If you want to set the Linksys WAP300N to Wireless Bridge mode, it needs to be hardwired to the main router. For more info, you may visit this link: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid;=d93bd52fd09f4f71974d4c35638636f4_Setting_the_Linksys_WAP300N_to_Wireless_Bridge_Mode.xml&pid;=80&respid;=0&snid;=6&di;spid=0&cpage;=search

There are tunnel protocols that may not function. These are able to pick up and configure to "extend" an existing link. I have a single unit working as an access point off a DLINK wrt and hadn't seen any problems.

You don't have to use WPS. You can manually configure both the settings and the name of the router. See Option 2 on page 8 of the manual. Pretty easy to do.

My Cisco Linksys Factory Refurbished RE1000 Wireless-N Range Extender works great. You have to set it up with ethernet first, but for some reason, the wireless computers I have in that side of the house simply work with it. It really extends the wireless connection. I went from one to two bars to four bars on all devices. With one non wireless computer, I had to plug the Wireless-N Range Extender to the computer's ethernet. The computer detected it, but it dids not detect the main router (I use a linksys N900). I disconnect the RE100 from the ethernet, took it to near the N900 router, pressed went back to my computer, pressed the little button on the USB wireless device, ran to the router and pressed the reset on the router, and the connection was established. I didn't have a hard time with the other devices connected to the internet. The ER1000 seems to work with them without me doing anything.

That's a more difficult setup Walter. Reason being is that you need to decouple the wireless router piece from your current setup. This is done by calling up your service provider and inquiring about how to make it a modem only unit because you have a better wireless router.Once done, it's as simple as plugging a cable from the old modem/router into the internet port of the new r6250.It's not that you didn't grasp the instructions, they were not written for your all-in-one device! make sure you understand the steps from your service provider clearly before executing my proposed solution.Good luck!

The one-button Wi-Fi Protected Setup is an industry standard which should (operative word, should) work with any consumer wireless router that has the same feature. Failing that there is a software CD with a tool that will allow you to manually configure the WES610N to connect to your wireless network using WPA2 or WEP.

I believe I remember a way in the setup manual but I ended up not using this router because it would not work with my router without lowering the security level and I didn't want to do that. Wish they would have said that in the product description.

answered of tp-link staff: Dear , Many thanks for your waiting. Our senior engineers have tested the router and find that it can not block secured websites such as facebook, youtube. We are really sorry for the inconvenience caused, your understanding will be highly appreciated! Have a good day!

I double checked the router and the manufacturer website specs for this router and it doesn't appear to support the 802.11b protocol, but check your device manufacturer's website you may be able to upgrade the device with a firmware download. the router is worth the hassle for the range and reliability alone. I'm running 2 hardwired and 6 wireless devices with no less than 4 devices online at a given time with no signal or speed degradation

I have an EA4500 and it does have WPA2-Enterprise. The comparison of all the Linksys routers on Amazon's site shows that they all have the same Advanced Security. Can't say 100% sure that the E2500 has it though.

It adds an extension, I don't recall of the top of my head but something like "YourWIFI_RPT" for normal and "YourWIFI_RPT5G" for the 5g. That is optional to use your wifi SSID "YourWIFI". You can also give it a different name if you want.

I entered my server inscription code and it worked fine. I remember at a point the installation program said that it couldn't find the Linksys devise. I was already seeing a strong wireless signal and decided not to sweat the small stuff. I didn't see a window prompting me to enter a password. Cisco/Linksys has a help line. Sorry I can't be of further help.

Hi Matthew. If you disable the router's DHCP server, it will function as a plain wireless access point and you will have to plug it to an existing router so that devices will be able to get online to the WRT1900AC. You will get the same result if configure the router as a wireless bridge.http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid;=41965db5d1074957b8033a388583dafc_Configuring_the_Linksys_WRT1900AC_as_a_Wireless_Bridge.xml&pid;=80&respid;=0&snid;=1&dispid;=0&cpage;=search

I run a small pc repair business, I've configured a lot of WIFI setups for customers. The hardest and the worst routers I've come across are Linksys. I purchased that one and finally just to get it out of my site sold it for 10 bucks. Never again will I purchase products from Linksys. Expensive, terrible support, and just plain not worth the effort. Check around Amazon for some really good deals on "N" routers, 20 or 30 bucks tops and no problem setting up. Hope this helps. Stevix
