Title: WRE54G Set-up Problem Solved?
Review: I also had a frustrating time setting up the WRE54G expander. But I think this is the answer. Disable the security setting on your wireless router. Set up your WRE54G using the same settings as your router (Gateway, channel, etc). Save the changes. Then go over to the router screen and enable WEP security with a suitable pass key. Then do the same to the WRE54G. But here is the secret that I found. To the right of the pass key is a drop-down with OPEN showing. This can be dropped down to SHARED. Make sure SHARED is showing. Then save the changes. The expander should then work as expected. I believe the problem is that the router and expander cannot use the same pass key unless provisions are made for them to share the pass key.My WRE54G works fine with my Linksys WRT320N. While the WRT320N can be WDA encrypted, the WRT54G is limited to WEP.John
