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)

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.

I haven't tried it yet. I'm using the August 2013 firmware. I don't have any problems with the router, but my use is pretty simple.

From your description of the problem It sounds like it would. Just remember if you have a secure wireless network you will need to set the WEP key first by connecting the device to your computer.

Sorry, not sure what type of security you're looking for but the ISP should provide that. I'm not aware of any security features and nothing mentioned in the owners manual.

As of today (Oct 26, 2014) After over 4 hours of forum reading and googling about, I can find no information leading me to believe this router will ever have a full implementation of any open source packages worth your time to install. The manufacture of the radio package (that rather important wireless bit) used in this router has refused to release the information needed by those that do the (free) work to make control of the radio possible. Without that control, what good is all the rest? I did see evidence of individuals working on reverse engineering the radio from other similar units, but then that wasn't the point. Marketing Fail over at Linksys it seems... Glad I googled a bit before I clicked. This was the best current option but not with the stock firmware it's clear.

I think not. Wasn't positive, just read manual. No mention of secured channels.

*Wired* wifi can be turned into a secure wireless network using WEP, WPA, or WPA2 security. Most users will use it in secure router mode, connecting, for example, a hotel or conference room's Internet cable to the WAN port and then using the device to create a wireless network. You can set the MWR102 up as a router, access point, or wireless client bridge.

This switch requires some config as any device for security reason. However the device is pretty much plug and play, i recommend going through the tutorial for common network practices for proper security

If you wish you can re-enable the security. First set it on the extender and then on the router.I found that the Hawking Technology extender, also sold by Amazon, is easier to set up and is more stable than the Linksys WRE54G. I bought it for my second home this summer and it works so good I am replacing the Linksys unit at my first home.

Nope. This is the castrated version that is not hackable. Do yourself a favor and get the WRT54GL. The extra money pays for the extra cost needed for quality, even if you use the stock firmware (which I am using).

Problem solved. With the help of the folks on the AVS and D-Link forum, I was able to narrow down the problem to a new feature on the D-Link DIR-655 router called "SecereSpot". It was enabled by default causing all kinds of problems. Once I disable SecureSpot, BD390 started working immediately. Also changed the IP address on the BD390 from dynamic to static. Works great now.

Look at page 27 of the manual. It is Avilable from Linksyshttp://downloads.linksys.com/downloads/userguide/1224639836211/WRT54G-TM_V1.5_ug.pdf

Not in itself but some simple inexpensive addition will correct that.Linksys has has what is needed to set up wifi.

I connected with a 16 digit WEP password for the local WIFI. Try again by re-entering the WIFI password again(it will appear to already be filled in, so click the box). It is easy to mess it up. I copied it to a text file so that I can just paste it into it. Find it in the list of Networks. Try repair perhaps. (Rt click monitor icon in taskbar). See manufacturer's answer here for more help!
