A. You need to find the network address (192.168.1.x or what ever) with your machine connected only to the Westell modem and switch. Then connect your machine to just the Linksys WAP and restart windows. Then run your setup. Choose a manual configuration. Set the WAP to an address in the Westell network range -- say 192.168.1.250 (if you are in the 192.168.1.x network). Then plug the machine back into the switch and restart it. Then plug the WAP into the switch. Then re-run the setup. The setup can't find the WAP because the Westell is issuing IP addresses on the network. The WAP comes defaulted in a seperate network and is also trying to issue IP addresses. You could also change your network setup and put the WAP between the switch and the Westell. So, the Westell modem/firewall would be plugged into the WAN side of the WAP. Then switch would be plugged into the LAN side of the WAP (the side with the four ports). The Westell will continue to issue IP addresses, but the only IP address to be issued would be the one for the WAN side of the WAP. The WAP would then issue IP addresses in its own network. But, the setup would be easier and you would have two NAT firewalls between you and the internet. Hope that helps.
xbox internet troubles?
Q. im trying to connect my xbox with an ethernet cable to a wireless booster router thing (linksys something like wap54g ithink)which is connected to a linkys router connected to a dsl modem. So my connection test says its wired but it cant obtain an ip adress. I have a pppoe internet setting, and i dont know how to work this. I'll set it manually if i have to but i dont know how to obtain a good ip adress. help please!
A. How to get IP address.
Ok, first go to the Dashboard
1. Scroll to the System area (On dashboard).
2. Select Network Settings.
3. Select Edit Settings.
4. Select IP Settings.
5. Select Manual.
6. Enter the IP address
To find your IP address, go to this website,
http://www.dslreports.com/whois
and it'll say
"The IP that just fetched this page is. . ."
And it'll have numbers below, and those numbers are what you type into the Manual on the Xbox dashboard (steps above).
Hope this is clear �

Why can't I access the web based setup on my WAP54G linksys wireless access point?
Q. I have tried holding down reset button for 30 seconds and then trying to access the web based set up via IP 192.168.1.245 with no luck... Yes I have connected my computer directly to the access point via ethernet cable... Once again I have tried the ip in the manual 192.168.1.245 and that does not work and resetting does not work either...
The manual clearly states the above ip as the access point address.
Is there a way to update the firmware without access to the setup?

A. Are you sure it is 192.168.1.245? Usually it is 192.168.1.1 or I could even see it being 192.168.1.254. Also some routers disallow admin access from a wireless connection, so try a wired connection instead. Hope that helps!
Should I Use a Router or Switch?
Q. We have 3 apartments on the 2nd level of my office which share DSL internet via wireless.
The walls are concrete throughout the building so we currently have the DSL modem connected to a Linksys Router (BEFSR41) with each apartment having a Linksys Wireless Access Point (WAP54G) connected to the router.
The tenants are having problems with dropped signals which I believe to be a faulty router (it is about 3-4 years old), so I'm constantly up there manual power cycing the router. Like the signal gets weaker as the day goes on.
We would like to replace it.
My question is, should I replace with another router or should I use a switch? I'm not very network savvy.
Thanks a bunch!

A. Go buy a new router. I use netgear products myself. Here's a good recommendation:

If you prefer linksys, here's an option:
