What's the problem you are having?

 

[derrell]

i cant get the linksys router to work or so i think. i just bought it and i can't get it connected to the main router wirelessly

 

[Groundfury]

Did you set a static IP on it? If so ping it and see if you can reach it. start, run, cmd, enter, ping 192.168.xxx.xxx

What type & model of router is the main home router?

 

[derrell]

both are linksys. the funny thing is that either of them show up when i try to put in the ip address

 

[derrell]

the main router is Linksys BEFW11S4 Wireless-B Cable/DSL Router and the adapter is wga54g

What's the IP of your main router, the game adapter and of the Apex? what happens if you type http://ipddress for each one of the devices?

 

[derrell]

only the ip address of the main router works. i got the gaming adapter to work but i can't access it or the controller using the ip address

Just to double check, you have configured the game adapter with the correct SSID and the same type wireless security that your main uses? Is the game adapter set up to use DHCP or is it a static? Most game adapters have a setup tool that will run you through the setup process. Did you run that as well?

 

[derrell]

i have the ssid the same. for the dhcp if gives me the option to do it manually or automatically. i did it manually. and after it says it's been successfully configured and when i try to enter the ip address to access it, it comes up not found.

Okay, what kind of wireless security are you using on the main as well as the game adapter? They have to be the same type of security. For example, I use WPA2-Personal for mine. Don;t know if your main router will have this option though as of its age.

What happens if you ping both of them. To ping:

Start Button
Run
In the run box, type cmd
then type "ping youripaddress"

any chance you have aim or yahoo messenger. would be a little bit easier for me.

 

[bhammer]

I have msn. I can install Yahoo. Give me a minute

 

[derrell]

Any luck?
Can you get into the GA and set it to AP Client? Have it do a site survery and check your network. Then set-up the Security as the same on both. This worked for me. Granted it took 3 days, but it worked.

We got it working. Took a phone call. Now, I just need to send him my IT support bill. What's the going rate nowadays?
