Linksys WMB54G installation of Vista - How to configure the computer to the Wireless Music Bridge

Music streamed from your computer speakers wirelessly using Wi-Fi sounds like a good idea and it is, but if you purchase a Linksys WMB54G and tried his creation on your Windows Vista machine, you probably gave up and threw the device the window. Thanks to Google and some trial and error, I thought to myself, these devices work as "non-Vista on a Windows Vista-based computer to receive.

It 'amazing to me that Linksys make this device is not compatible with Vista, but I'm not here to write about it.Instead, I show you step by step through how to get your computer's wireless music bridge of your work on this.

1. Eject the CD that came with the machine out! can happen if you run the software on your computer, you have more problems than you might imagine.

IMPORTANT - The registry value is difficult so if you have installed the old version of the CD that came up, you probably have problems even if you install the UN and install the new version. I had to make aSystem Restore and restore your system before you install the original utility.

2. For the Linksys driver and download

XP, Vista Setup Wizard (XP and Vista) Ver.2.18

XP, Vista Firmware (XP and Vista) Ver.2.18

3. Connect the Wireless Music Bridge directly to the Ethernet port of your computer - not the router (you lose your Internet connection unless you use wireless print this pageshall return to these directions.

4. Run the firmware - make sure the device is inserted into the wall and the computer and not interrupt the process - is pretty self-explanatory. The new firmware version 2.18 should

5. After the firmware is updated, run the installation program by double-clicking "Setup" file.

6. Click where it says "Click here to start" - that is the bridge to recognize the Ethernet port. Once connected, you can use aPassword, change the name and put it in the wireless network to be viewed on the computer.

* If you use WPA or WPA2 network, is the equivalent of the PSC and the PSC-2 be aware of the Linksys setup so simple that you can not see anything about WPA

7. After all the equipment is configured, you are prompted to install the utility program that runs on your computer, audio, e-mail device. Follow the onscreen instructions to install the utility. It will probably bean error message after installing the program because it does not work on Vista, as - just to close the error message and continue.

8. After everything is installed, you can use the Ethernet cable from your computer.

Here is the important part for it to work in VISTA

9. Click Start and type "msconfig" where it says "start search".

10. Click on "Startup" and find "CMflywave Application" - uncheck the box to the left of itand click OK.

11. These three files on your hard disk:

cmas2ds.exe

cmflywav.exe

wmb54g.exe

(Search for them in the installation folder in Program Files Linksys)

12. Right-click on any of these files and go to Properties - then click the Compatibility tab and check the box where it says "Run this program in compatibility mode for: and select (Windows XP Service Pack 2) and then OK.

13. Now, double-click these 3 files are in thisSort:

cmas2ds.exe

cmflywav.exe

wmb54g.exe

The utility should now work correctly in Vista. Click on "Scan for Music Bridge" and the device has the list. Click the device and click "Connect" and now all of your audio is sent to the bridge.

.................................................. .................................................. ................................

So a couple of days went by and suddenly it was not the musictransmitted to the wireless bridge. I do not know if I rebooted or what, but now is whether the bridge is connected or not, the music came from computer speakers.

I then disabled - what I did, it was my audio settings and right click on the active device to the computer speakers go.

Next I start the computer, and when he returned, I verified that the computer speakers were disabled. I then double-click the folder and clicked on Linksyscmflywav.exe and wmb54g.exe (cmas2ds.exe NOT)

The bridge was able to connect and transfer music.

Finally, the device was more headache that it was worth it. I paid $ 29 with shipping for a refurbished model and all the lost hours trying to work it was not worth the money I saved on the device. If you are not technically savvy person, this device is not for you. Linksys needs to get on the ball and to solve all the problems with the software WMB54G.
