How do you join a Linksys WRE54G to a Linksys WRT54G Wireless Network?

The default IP Address of the WRE54G is 192.168.1.240.  If your Wireless Network is not using this subnet then you will have to change the IP Address of the WRE54G to match your network environment.
  1. Change the IP Adress of your Local Area Connection to 192.168.1.50, Subnet 255.255.255.0, Gateway 192.168.1.1.

  2. Using Internet Explorer, browse to the WRE54G at 192.168.1.240.

  3. Login to the Linksys WRE54G.  Default Username: (blank), Default Password: admin

  4. Click the Password button and change the Default Password.

  5. Click Save Settings.

  6. Click the Edit Security Settings button.

  7. Select the Security Mode that matches your Linksys WRT54G Wireless Network.

  8. Enter the Shared Key that matches your Linksys WRT54G Wireless Network.

  9. Click Save Settings.

  10. Change the IP Address of the WRE54G to match the subnet of your Linksys WRT54G Wireless Network.  Example: 192.168.113.240

  11. Change the Gateway IP Address to match the Gateway of your Linksys WRT54G Wireless Network.  Example: 192.168.113.1

  12. Change the SSID to match your Linksys Wireless WRT54G Wireless Network.

  13. Click the Enable Radio Button to Enable Wireless Security.

  14. Click Save Settings.

You should now see two blue lights on the Linksys WRE54G indicating that the device has connected to your Linksys WRT54 Wireless Network.  You can now unplug the Linksys WRE54G and put it in a location of your choosing.
