Does the Linksys WRE54G work with WPA or WPA2? Does anyone know if the WRE54G works with WPA encryption technology? If not do you know of a wireless repeater that does?

YES - I just installed a used WRE54G with 1.0 firmware (no ethernet port) and it had to be configured FIRST with WEP but then allowed WPA (Not WPA2)

Not true. All it does is listen for 802.11g a signals and rebroadcasts it. However, a better option would be to buy a Linksys WRT54GL and install the DD-WRT firmware on it. You can then configure it to operate in bridge, repeater, or router mode. See http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Repeater_Bridge. The result will cost less, but do more. :-)

it works with my netgear router. it's a wireless receiver, it should work with any wireless router. it worked right out of the box. windows recognized it and it was up and running better than the builtin card on my laptop.

Yes, in fact I'm using WPA2-PSK. You can download the user manual from: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/WN2000RPT/Documentation/IG/WN2000RPT_IG_07SEPT2011.pdf

Our extenders work with all standard Wi-Fi routers (IEEE and Wi-Fi certified). Unfortunately there are some rare cases where our extenders may not work with non-standard routers or routers with altered firmware such as those from 3rd party sources or proprietary firmware, such as those from certain ISPs. We would need to know the model of the modem. Please call our tech support line at 888-573-8820 and a technician can determine if the unit you have works.

yes but i have switched to apples airport extreme base station and airport express for my wifi network. It works fine with all of my devices but i needed my ipad to configure it. Not sure if you can do this with a PC. All the linksys gear I tried after the original flawless wap54g access points were unreliable, caused whole network outages and could not deliver consistently on the highest speed for all my devices. I wasted a lot of money on these access points before I finally switched to apple. I couldn't be happier. Might be a little more costly but its not garbage and today's linksys is garbage in my opinion. yes but i have switched to apples airport extreme base station and airport express for my wifi network.

I got my wrt160n working with the wre54g. All that was required was setting the wrt160n router to bg mode instead of bgn mode. I also had to disable security on the router.

http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-WR541G There is some information about it in its website:"WDS wireless bridge provides seamless bridge to expand wireless network". Based on this, I think it can provide this function, although I have not used this function. You can make it with the reference in Google: http://www.google.com/#newwindow=1&safe=strict&q=how+to+TP-Link+WR541+bridge&oq=how+to+TP-Link+WR541+bridge Good luck!

Hello SCAT, I have purchased a total of 5 of this model, WZR-HP-G450H, new from Amazon. They all arrived in factory sealed boxes, inside the shipping boxes, and worked perfectly. I use 3 of them for connections to my 6 - IP network cameras, with hidden SSID's, and the 2 others for general wireless throughout our home. The pre-installed DD-WRT firmware gives me the capability of setting them up in wireless repeater configurations (Router/AP). My brother-in-law is using 7 of them also in wireless repeater configurations, along with high gain external parabolic antennas, to feed his network that's out almost 3 miles from where he connects to his ISP's cable modem. We love the performance of these units! Hello SCAT, I have purchased a total of 5 of this model, WZR-HP-G450H, new from Amazon.

I'm considering a new router due to wifi connectivity problems with the new iPad2's my wife & I bought. I've always had good luck with Linksys products and I'm leaning in that direction again. Does anyone who has an iPad2 have any connectivity issues with the Linksys e4200 (dropping wifi, etc)?

The first thing is to determine if your Roku is a G radio or an N. This router may be set to WAP2 encryprion and AES networking. In the various forums people discuss getting N and older G devices to talk on the same networks. Some people have expressed changing the AES setting to another option, or being sure that WMM is enabled. Log onto the router and do a site survey to see what the router sees. Also see if your computer can see the signal. Are all devices in your network on the same channel number?

Yes a repeater does work, I do have the base extension in a different structure of my property and I am using a repeater to provide a strong WiFi connection. I haven't had any problems

Hi There, I own this router but I don't have answer. However, check this website: http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT54G2. There's a LIVE CHAT tab & a toll free number.

Yes, all WRT54GL routers operates on 2.4GHz only. As for the version number, it can either be version 1.0 or 1.1 depending on which is available in Amazon.
