I´ve worked with some other marks for Wireless, but as I long as I know, you can restrict MULTICAST &amp;&nbsp;BROADCASTfor your wireless connections. I know this can be done on Proxim and some other, I don´t know about Linksys. <br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a WRT54G v3 Firmware 3.x.x that is acting as a WAP and Switch. The WR54G is then connected thru port 1 on the back to a 16 port Linksys Workgroup Switch and then to a Linksys BEFVP41.<br />
<br />
When running a multicast ghost session on the network it blows out the wireless connection, meaning none of our wireless devices can connect. &nbsp;No machines are connected wired or wirelessly to the WRT54G that are being ghost'ed.<br />
<br />
Any thoughts or ideas on how I can block the multicast traffic so that the Wireless connection will work? &nbsp;Anything connected to wire by the WRT54G can still access the lan/wan.<br />
<br />
If you have any suggests on need more information, let me know.<br />
<br />
Thank you.

Linksys WRT54G and Multicasting

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.

Wireless Hardware

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
