<title>Wiring problems with WHR-G125</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23369581</link>
<description><![CDATA[I'm having a bit of a problem with setting up ethernet wire/connection from WHR-G125 AP down in the basement to my media center in living room.  Media center being just simple Dell desktop with default/factory ethernet port that worked ok prior via short/direct connection (laptop-PC).  The ethernet cable (solid type) is about 80-90ft long.

The problem is that my media PC is not able to acquire IP address - but windows shows link status as 100mbps !!
Windows also shows DL packet activity but nothing on UL.

I wish I had ethernet cable tester - but I don't ;-(

Initially, I though that I had bad ethernet connectors, so I replaced few of these (last I had), this didn't help.
Then, doubting my ability to tell difference between colors, I used some good/old/working ethernet cable, cut it in half and made the little/color coded connections one at a time :-D  - again, no IP.

Then, I brought my laptop from work, tested AP's port directly via short cable in the basement - it works fine !!
so I went back upstairs and with the same laptop I re-tested the long cable AND IT WORKS !! - I got IP every time !!  and my UL/DL via Comcast cable gave me 8Mb DL/2Mb UL !!

So, I reconnected that cable back to my Media center PC - and again, NO IP !!  (yes, PC was configured with DHCP :-).

My old linksys switch is also not lighting up it's LED in Normal mode when connected to the same/long ethernet cable.

Can someone explain what's going on ?  is 80ft too long for some etherenet devices ?

I'm thinking about going to one of the stores to get the tester, test with it and simply return it when I'm done - but :-(   I rather no do that.]]></description>

<title>Client Mode</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23362826</link>
<description><![CDATA[I try to find inexpensive router which can be used in client mode.

Are there any routers etc which support this or do i need to use third-party firmware projects?

There is tons of these alternative firmware projects, so i don't know which one use and what router to buy.

It can be Buffalo or other brand.

Thanks]]></description>
