Does the Linksys WRE54G work with WPA or WPA2? Does anyone know if the WRE54G works with WPA encryption technology?

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)

Good question. I've just set it up to match the settings of my Netgear WGR514 v9, but can't tell if my laptop is using the Netgear or the Linksys Range Extender...

Well, the WRE54G does affect the speed and generally halves the speed when logging on through that device. Why the signal is reduced may have to do with the security setup and the sequence in which the security was established. It is important that the security be established on the extender first and then the router. I use WEP rather than WPA as I find it easier to use and I believe it is basically as secure unless a very knowledgeable hacker gets on your gets onto your signal. Also, make sure the channel and SSID are the same on the router and extender. I hope this helps.

As long as they do not have crazy high complex authentications like Enterprise WPA2 PEAP you should be fine. My complex had such authentication requiring a username and password so this did not work (nor could I find any WISP router that works). Did work though to allow me to use someones Comcast WiFi without my wireless devices riding on his WiFi connection, only used his bandwidth for web use, not things like file transfers or WiFi printing.

According to DD-WRT webpage, v2 is supported. Give it a shot.http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices#Linksys

Dear Buyer: 1. Yes, this item support WPA2 Enterprise. 2. It can connect to a wireless network that requires a user name AND password. Please check user manuals before setup. http://www.sapido.com.tw/EN-new/images/product/brb72n/UM_BRB72n.pdf

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.

First, it does not work for any Windows version beyond XP; second, there should be a phone number to the Linksys Technical Support. Good luck.

I can't answer how it works with the Netgear 300. However I have been using one with a Netgear WPN824N N150 Wireless Router for over a year without any problems. I also set one up at my church that has been running almost as long without problems. I recall that is was somewhat difficult to set up and it took several tries to get it correct. But once it was working it hasn't been any trouble. It runs for months without having to reboot.

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 From Mediabridge! Make sure you use Mixed WPA/WPA2 wireless security using both TKIP and AES fro your algorithms. If you have the 150v2 model, also make sure you are suing the latest firmware version 5.07.39, and that under Basic Wireless Settigns, AP isolation is disabled. With these settings you should be good to go! If you have further questions, please contact our friendly U.S. based support department and we'd be happy to help! Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support 856-216-8222 support@mediabridgeproducts.com

The device itself should work with no problems, however you should check with linksys to see if their own software is compatible(it most likely is).

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. :-)

I placed my order on January 10th 2010 and I got v2. Unfortunately, I cant install DD-WRT, but I put the latest Linksys firmware on it, and it has been working fine doing just your standard web browsing. No problems yet...
