How do I set pass through mode so I can connect my linksys router? As it sits now I can only connect it to my computer directly, but I need wifi.

Mark: The modem you refer to is at my summer home and here I use a cable modem so I may not be able to walk you through the process. You need to open the modem up and look for the "bridge mode". Set it to that and it should pass everything over to the router and if I remember correctly you have to set the router to PPoE and set the user name and password. Hope this helps and good luck. Dale

Check out the online user guide (http://www.tp-link.us/resources/document/TD-8816_V7_User_Guide_19100105.pdf) First go to chapter 2.4 hardware installation, connecting the router, then go to chapter 4.4.2 advanced setup, routing. Its too much to type in here. Follow the directions and you should have your router up and going in a short time.

If I remember right there was a selection for bridged mode in the setup wizard. The other thing I changed was I turned off NAT and let my WIFI router handle NAT. The only other concern is that the modem will still use 192.168.1.1 as a LAN port address. You want a different address range for your WIFI router that the modem.

did you do the step to check the signal between the router and the repeater? That needs to be good. Also, what did you name it --- the book says name it different than the router (but pass through security). I notice sometimes with my Netgear it seems like it takes forever to connect --- other times it connects quickly. I'm leaning towards what the other reviewers say --- move the router so not to need the repeater. Previously I had a LinkSys repeater, it worked about the same, just ok at best.

Not sure what you mean by "allow by-passing use of current wi-fi". I have the Equipment Interface Module connected to my Comcast router and it works fine.

Hi did you try going to the set up menu and selecting wireless connection . It then should find the network and ask for the password and you be all set. I have mine hooked up to my Linksys and it works well.

Yes, it acts as a pass through. I have found it easy, just plug n play, I used it to connect blu ray players, roku box and receiver with no problem. I am currently using a Mac air port router with no problems

If you bought a Linksys router than call Linksys help, they are obligated to get up and running, even if you bought another brand they should do the same. There are so many setting in the camera and router that the ordinary guy can not figure it out. Maybe type in the IP address of the router, then use admin for the sign for the router, this should get to the pages that you can change settings, good luck. I have two of these cameras. They are the worse ones made. Good luck, Steve

B Clark.. Just curious.. What brand router do you have? Mine is a Linksys wrt45g, and I am using a wired connection to my player..

I was not able to do it last night. I had to 'un-hide' my SSID to set it up, then when I went back and 'hid' my SSID it could not connect. [Setting it in repeater mode]. So now my SSID remains 'un-hidden', I've since just implemented a MAC ACL. Please let me know if you've had better luck.

download the instruction manual here http://www.ianker.com/anker-wireless-access-point-router/product/66UPWNWR-WU#imdyou have to connect to the router directly with an Ethernet cable and temporarily change your IP settings on the computer you are using to configure the router. then you can connect and the setup is very easy once you access the router.

the product works fine with a mac....instead of using the set up cd (which is XP/Vista based only) go to the web based setup of linksys (192.168.1.1). essentially you will connect the modem to the router (to the internet ethernet slot), then connect your mac to one of the port slots -- there's four of them -- (this is an ethernet to ethernet connection with the supplied cable), open up safari (or whatever browser you are using) and type in the setup address (192...), you will need to insert the password/login (admin for both).... and viola you're able to setup it up on a mac. because the router is plugged into the modem and you are plugged into the router -- you can leave most of the default information as is. you will probably want to change the SSID (or else it just reads linksys) and if you are closing the network you will want to set up the WEP key (or WPA key) -- and of course you will want to go to the admin tab and change the network management login from admin to something less easy. once you have saved the changes, unplug the ethernet look for the SSID and enter the WEP key. it may take a second to show up on your mac (if it takes longer then a hot second -- unplug modem powersource for about 10 seconds and replug it in -- this will allow your modem to rollover the IP address) otherwise you should be okay. while somethings in the mac/pc world matter (mac has a 6 pin firewire connection while PC has a 4 pin connection) this router fortunately isn't once of them. hopefully this is helpful as you get the same thing as the airport express at half the cost with this router.

Jerry,I remembered I did try with a simple D-Link 4 way router but failed. I was told by a friend that I need another type of router, an advance type. I think he is referring to static and dynamic routing protocol type of router. However, I did not make any attempt to confirm this.

mine worked fine. All I did was put in my password and I was all set. What kind of condition is your router? You also might want to look at additional settings in your system preferences.

yes. That's exactly how mine is set up, as an access point plugged into my main router via an Ethernet cable. One of the choices in the setup menu is "access point". I then use my same radio SSID and password in the D-link as my main wireless router. When I move away from the main router toward the D-link, the wifi locks into the D-link and I get full strength bars. It works great.

Just a thought but there's kind of a specific order to the process - enter the wireless router's password into the device then go back to the router and "add device". Once you click through to the point the router has opened the gates and can accept devices then try to connect your device but be quick because the gate is only open briefly. If you miss the opportunity you'll need to re-enter the password and start over. I had that problem with a new dvr that was located in another room. I wasn't moving fast enough. Once i figured out the problem it connected immediately.

Ok, I cked and I have both airport Ext and Ethernet card. I have a Fio verizon modum in the basement that is connected and running correctly. Do I set the the Connection to 1)Airport 2)DSL (don't think so) 3)Cable in modum of 4) Ethernet. There is nothing in the back of the computer and Apple said I didn't need anything just the wireless. I have pppOL, firewire and airport (whatever that means).

Short and sweet answer here...No.Download the latest firmware, use the built in Wizard WAN+2LAN to configure the router. That will set eth0 as a DMZ, eth1 as the WAN port, and the rest as local switch ports.It's not a simple device like a Linksys or Netgear, but it's not too tough now that they've added the wizard.
