solarian Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Hi, I just bought a Linksys wrt54gl router and it says that in order to install it I have to insert the included cd and run it. Problem - it's a darn .exe file and won't launch on Linux, gives me an error when I try to launch it with Wine. So, any of you installed such a router on a Linux only network? Thanks!

tyme Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 it's lying to you. you don't need to use the cd. just set it up as you would any other router...plug in, go to 192.168.1.1 (or 192.168.0.1, can't remember which linksys uses) and set it up.

polemicz Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I've got the same router and it works fine. Set-up is via 192.168.1.1 There is the default password, etc to get into it. You then can do all your set-up from there. The router has worked nicely for me as I have a mixed wired and wireless network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
