Q. Okay, I have two routers. One is a Linksys WRT120N (I also have a WRT54G2 V1 if the current isn't compatible...) and I also have a Belkin F5D7230-4 router. The Linksys is connected to my cable modem and has good enough signal for all of my downstairs, but my upstairs has little to no connection in certain places (MY ROOM for example!!) so I'd like to configure the Belkin router to be used as an access point or repeater. Keep in mind that there is no wired connection in my upstairs so I need to configure it as a repeater that won't be hardwired to the original router. I'm willing to update to 3rd party firmware or anything if need be. I don't care if it's something that will potentially brick my router or void the warranty, if it will work...please help me do it! I've read everywhere that it's supposed to be this oh-so-easy task...but uhh...I'm not having very much luck!

Help with wireless network problem please!?
Q. I have a Linksys WRT120N wireless router that i use to connect a netbook and Wii to the internet. I can get them connected and working fine for a while. Eventually, neither will be able to connect to the network though. They still recognize the network, they just can't connect. If i restart the router, then it works fine again. I dont want to have to keep restarting the router every day though. Please help troubleshoot this problem. I went to the cisco site and they told me to update the firmware and change the router's channels, but it continues to do the same thing.
I hope the router isnt dying, it is brand new.
Yes, i updated the firmware and tried all 3 of those channels. They will not connect to the network at all. I have to restart the router to fix it, it doesnt go away on its own. There are no other networks in range and no cordless phones. I am not sure if the devices are N or G adapters.

Wireless router comparison?
Q. Which is a better router? Both are cisco-linksys.
Models WRT120N or e1000
Overall thoughts, or pros and cons please.
Thanks.

A. Hi if you want a Wireless router really good you can buy the Cisco Linksys EA4500

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
*Model: Linksys EA4500
*Technology: Wireless-N
*Bands: Simultaneous 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
*Transmit/Receive: 3 x 3 for 2.4 GHz, 3 x 3 for 5 GHz
*Antennas: 6 Internal
*OS Compatibility: Windows, Mac
*Software Setup: CD Install
*Ethernet Ports x Speed: 4 x Gigabit
*Cisco Connect Software: Yes, App Enabled
*USB Port: Yes, Shared Storage, Virtual USB and Media Server
I bought this router to replace a Netgear DSL router so I could utilize the faster Time Warner Roadrunner service. Right off the bat, I can say this thing was a piece of cake to set up and the Wi-Fi coverage is the best I've ever seen. It easily outperforms the Netgear on that front. Other positives--the Cisco Connect software makes it easy to perform basic router functions (check for new firmware, renew IP address, reboot the router, etc), add new devices, access and set Parental Controls and more, right from my Kindle Fire or other mobile devices. Another nice little bonus: the ability to modify friendly device names.
Throughput on this thing is great... via Speakeasy Speed test and the integrated speed test in the Cisco Connect software--I'm consistently getting around 20Mbps... even higher in some cases. Nice to see I'm getting what I paid for.
Only thing I can't weigh in on are third-party apps and the Cloud Connect software that's due out later this summer. Those future capabilities are something I was willing to pay more for. But even without those, I can easily say I highly recommend it based on my experience in the last several days with this router.

Wireless router range problems?
Q. I have the linksys WRT120N. I bought the N router because the G I had didn't give me enough range. Thing is, the N didn't change much on range either. It gave me a stronger connection within a pretty close range, but after that it was pretty bad. My router is approximately 25-30 meters away from my TV area. Router on second floor, room on first. It goes through a floor and a wall, but in general, that should still be okay. I wasn't bothered with it for a while, but now i'm considering getting an xbox and I want the wifi connection. So I was testing it out, and I brought the laptop progressively closer to the TV area, along the way I kept testing the internet connection with an online speedtest. And the connection was pretty strong all the way to the TV, which is farther than I've ever gotten. Then about 5 minutes later, the connection dies, it doesn't show up anymore. I walk back about 10 steps, and it works again. Is it maybe the way I set up the router? Or settings I can change? I didn't get an N router for such crappy range.
A. I use a WRT160N and the only way I could get optimal range increase is by making it transmit at 40Mhz rather than 20Mhz. (firmware downgrade)
Wireless transmission channel of the router can have a massive effect on the range too, depending on how many other people in the area are using the same channel.
