Can LINKSYS WRT54GL work with VP-200 somehow?

RickL66 said:
Check to see if your router is one of the following: If it is, then download the firmware at http://www.dd-wrt.com , follow instructions and flash your linksys. If you are not comfortable with flashing, I suggest you don't do it, you could make your Linksys a paperweight/doorstop.

1.) DD-WRT supported/tested router hardware versions
Router: Serial Number prefixes:
Linksys WRT54G 1.0 CDF0xxx or CDF1xxx
Linksys WRT54G 1.1 CDF2xxx or CDF3xxx
Linksys WRT54G 2.0 CDF5xxx
Linksys WRT54G 2.2 CDF7xxx
Linksys WRT54G 3.0 CDF8xxx
Linksys WRT54G 3.1 CDF9xxx
Linksys WRT54G 4.0 CDFAxxx
Linksys WRT54G 5.0 (JTAG only with cfe update, see Flash your WRT54G or WRT54GS v5 series (v5, v5.1, v6) - WRT Wiki)
Linksys WRT54GL 1.0 CL7Axxx
Linksys WRT54GL 1.1 CL7Bxxx

Linksys WRT54GS 1.0 CGN0xxx or CGN1xxx
Linksys WRT54GS 1.1 CGN2xxx
Linksys WRT54GS 2.0 CGN3xxx

I am planning on buy Linksys WRT54G I don't have linksys Router yet. I will save this info until I get Router soon as possible.
 
Exactly, one mistake then router becomes junk and only way to retrieve them is to send to factory, which is going to cost more than its worth.
I generally encourage keeping set up as simple as possible, reason? So whenever there is trouble, much easier to do troubleshooting. :)

I DO know some WRT54G router DO work with VP as long as VP is connected **WIRED** to the router NOT wirelessly!

I am not planning use Wireless on VP.. I just plan use *WIRED* with linksys Router and VP. Plus I need a Wireless because I have laptop.

* I know linksys with CISCO won't work with VP. I will find other way...
 
I once went the 3rd party firmware route with my WRT54G V.2 and it still would not work. I may try again later, but when I did it refused to work. I broke down and bought a D-Link router. Still have the Linksys, but the new one works so well, I won't bother.
 
Today I got Linksys WRT54G 1.0... Can anybody tell me how I can get it work with VP-200? I couldn't get them to work.
 
I tried custom firmware before on my linksys, several different firmware and I couldn't get none to work.

I think it hardware related that Cicso cut corner to manufacture linksys router cheaper by designing hardware differently and left out the protocol needed by VP.

I will try that DD-WRT since I have not tried that one yet but I have tried Sveasoft and some other firmwares and none of them worked for me.

Hey I think I got VP to work with Linksys WRT54G by using Switch Router with VP I set up like this....

Cable Modem-----)Linksys------)D-LINK Switch Router-------)VP-200

I recieve Calls from a Friends and I am not sure about send a Call yet. I hope all those work.

Or If you are connected via Ethanet for your laptop or desktop

click Start --->Show All Connections----> (right click) Local Area Connection ----> click "status"----> click "Support" tab ---"Details"

you have to go VP200 videophone: that your VP connected to thorugh an ethanet to Linksys WRT300N router

you have to click "Settings" then "Network" then "Address"
you have to click Edit when you see pop up "Caution" window if you know the access code you have to enter your access code when you got success for access code to thorugh IP Address Settings

If you do not have an access code you have to call Soresnon VRS Techincal Support at (801) 287-9403 VP to obtain for your access code.

you have to remove " Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP)

you have to modify the settings are:

IP Address: 192.168.1.125
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.1
Host Name VP200

you have copy from Network Connection Details windows to your VP200:

you will see DNS if you have 2 DNS Servers from your own ISP you have to put in your VP200 setting for manual DNS Server from your ISP for Primary & Secondary DNS
when you finish put both of DNS Servers then click OK then restart VP200 and VP200 reboot few minutes when you got appears for your VP number mean you are success.

To test call to Tech Support VP 801-287-9403 when you connect Tech Support to make sure it works for sending and receive without blocking

if you have only one DNS Server If you don't have Secondary DNS Server you just leave blank on "Secondary DNS" you just put Primary DNS when you have only one DNS server. then click OK restart VP200 when after reboot until you got your VP phone number appears mean it's works

when you are done setting you can close all of the Network Connection windows and .you enjoy the VP chat or call VRS anytime

No, you misunderstand
DNS can Primary- 192.168.1.1 and secondard- blank, they will work VP-200
if you own ISP's DNS will often change per year fur update new techology

don't worry, DNS can 192.168.1.1 but Router know own ISP's DNS

Technically he (rhr) is right.

VP-100/200 will not be able to update the DNS server IP whenever the ISP changed their owners, or system, for example; Time warner bought out Adelphia, then the DNS server may be outdated and if you used it on VP-100/200 it may not be able to update itself, resulting missed calls issues, empty contact list, and you might not be able to make outgoing calls but can get incoming calls. That is why it is never good idea to put in your ISP DNS address on your VP configuration. Set it up in your router instead.

The best way to set up DNS on VP-100/200 as following

Your router IP address as primary DNS, should be same as gateway IP address shown on your VP.

Secondary DNS, I would recommend 208.67.222.222 or 208.67.220.220. (Owned and operated by OpenDNS. org) Reason? They are more stable DNS server, and is public owned server meaning they will always be there no matter what. The Secondary DNS on your VP unit acts as "back up" in event the router/modem fails to update the DNS configuration. Do not use public DNS in your router, that way you will always have two extra back ups.

of course, I know about (blank) is empty, I not setup.. I read your message only, before you said your own ISP's DNS put DNS then we give you, you then you change DNS is 192.168.1.1, I said Good! or you made good job on message
