Add a second wireless access point via Powerline.Broadband cable modem to wireless router.Current wireless router provides coverage to part of the house. I purchased a powerline adapter to extend the network.Powerline works well when hardwired to the remote adapter. However, for the life of me, I can not get the 2nd wireless AP to work when plugged into the powerline.I understand that the 2nd AP should be plugged into the Powerline via a LAN port and not the WAN port. I have also read that the DHCP should be turned off on the 2nd wireless AP. My second wireless AP is a E2500. There are 2 references to the DHCP - one is connection type and the other is DHCP server. Do I need to turn the DHCP server off and make the connection type static instead of DHCP?Also, when I change the connection type to static vs. DHCP, I am asked for an IP address, subnet, gateway, and DNS entries. What entries should I be using for the gateway and DNS?The DHCP pool on the 1st wireless router is 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.100 and the LAN IP address is 192.168.2.1
My problem is that my son will not turn off his xbox at night. To get around this I want to connect the Xbox to an old netgear router that I am using as an access point to extend wireless coverage, so that I can use the parental controls on the netgear as the ones in the Sky Sagem are not adequate.I can disconnect the Netgear at a certain time if necessary and if this is the only way the xbox can connect it will have to go offline then!
Powerline not working on media in one room. My Setup: ATT DSL Modem: Westell 6500 w/ Linksys WRT54GS router
First powerline to mac (about 8 feet down hall) second powerline to pc (windows vista) (about 12 feet down hall) third powerline to media (Xbox 360, Sony blu ray, Apple TV) (about 45 feet down hall)
I've had Powerline PLE/S 300 setup for a couple years I think working perfectly. I it set up because my house is VERY solidly built and the G wireless cannot reach even the second room down the hall.
I recently got a wireless device and couldn't keep connection in the living room so I was going to add an access point and futzed with the router and everything went down. I got the router back up, disconnected the access point for good, but the Powerlines wouldn't connect. I upgraded the firmware then reset them and finally got Number 1 and Number two powerline online and working. But the farthest point (router at back of house, media at front) is the living room and none of the powerline boxes will work ON THE MEDIA.
I plug in the powerline and the home light comes up, I attached my laptop out there and I connected fine, then I connect one of the media players - the Xbox, apple or blue ray - and the home light goes out media will not connect and the laptop is knocked off. It does this every time now, same media players that worked perfectly before.
I bought a new router (Linksys E4200), wondering if the old just didn't have the signal strength and set that up very easily and the same thing happened - no powerlines work on the media in the living room. Mind you, I did take Apple to a closer room and hook it up to a powerline and it works!
As my Xbox died on one my attempts to plug it in to the powerline. So new xbox cannot connect either. I used to connect from xbox to the pc media center to watch recorded tv and this cannot be done wirelessly, even with the new dual band N router AND a new extender!
How would I bridge a wireless connection with a distance of 400 feet? Would twoAP1262N-A-K9 be able to make this happen? Or is there another wireless bridge that you all can think of?I would be connecting one AP1262 of off a 3750g switch and at the far end (400 ft aproximately) another AP1262N-A-K9.
I had a new AIR-AP1042N-N-K9 access point and I tried to convert it into lightweight mode with the image c1140-rcvk9w8-tar.124-21a.JA2.tar . I used all the methods but the AP is getting hanged at one position after decompressing the new IOS. The capture of the process is below: [code] After this I am getting the junk characters and everytime AP hangs at this position.
How do I connect and configure my WAP54G wireless access point to my new Cable Modem? I have it connected to the modem but I cannot access it to configure it. It appears to be working but before I got the cable modem I had it connected to a router and it was set-up with a static IP address. With my new ISP, I no longer have a static IP address so I am trying to configure the WAP54G to use DHCP. Trying to access it thru the internet at 192.168.1.245 does not work.
I just bought an LG Bluray DVD player (BD390) which is unable to find the access point in my home network.My router is a WRT54G, ver. 2.2, running firmware: Ver.4.21.1. My home network uses high speed cable with two computers on the wireless network, all working with no problems.The router is on the second floor but the two computers and the new BD390 are on the first floor - about 35 feet away. I have the wirelss security set to none and use only the specific computer MAC addresses to allow connection to this network.
I found directions in the forum for a setup using the LG BD390 but with a different Linksys router. I changed the security to WPA (AES); the Beacon interval from 100 to 75; the Fragmentation Threshold from 2346 to 2304; and the RTS Threshold from 2347 to 2307. The DVD wireless connection still failed to find my network. There is a "Push button" connection feature on the BD390 setup which I tried, but the only "button" on the router I could find was in the basic wireless setting, a green icon for the wireless SSID setup. No connection was made there either.
The recommendation connection from the LG manual is for a network cable, but that would be over 50 feet and a real pain to connect, so I would prefer WiFi.
I have a WAP54g hardware version 1.0.I install de last firmware on this access-point but, this access-point reset automatic after a random time..It’s it possible to downgrade de firmware from this access-point?
Have a WRT320N router at one end of the house in the basement. Would like to boost signal to other end of the house. Which product should i use, an access point or a range extender? My house is also wired with Ethernet cable and I could plug the access point into an Ethernet port at the end of the house where the signal is weak.
I've got a AP WAP54G. I've managed to get into the configuration page and rename my router and set a WPA2-Personl password.
The issue I'm facing is that when me and my roomate try to connect to the router at the same time, it shows the laptop that connects second as one that has 'limited connectivity' and hence cannot use the internet. The 1st laptop however works fine! The settings for the router have all been left to default.
I'm not sure, but does this problem have anything to do with the fact that the router in configured with a static IP. If so, then there is another issure which is that whenever I try to change it from static to automatic/dynamic IP, the page fails and the router doesn't even get connected to the configuraion page(192.168.1.245) after that. The only way to get that page again is the reset the router.
Also I'm not able to directly get into the config page when I connect my router to my laptop via lan. I need to change the LAN IP to 192.168.1.x where x is >1.
What I want to do is the opposite of most configurations. I live on a small island with only one DSL connection. The modem is wired connected to a WAP54G Access point. To extend this access point want to use a WRT54G.
I'm using a WRT120N and have had no problems connecting most wireless devices, but a Nintendo DS and DSi owned by my family are unable to connect to the access point. My wireless security mode is disabled, network mode is set to mixed, SSID is the same as on the DS/DSi, Channel width is 20Mhz only, Standard channel is set to 6, but I tried using channel 1 and 11 without success, SSID broadcast is enabled.
I've tried every work-about I could find and always get the 51300 error code, and am at a loss as to what else I can try to get the devices to connect to the access point.
I have 3 E3000 Routers and would quality input regarding using 1 of the E3000 Routers connected to my Broadband Modem (Roadrunner) and would like to know how to configure the remaining 2 E3000 Routers to be hardwired to my main Router as Access Points located approximate segmented 1/3rd areas throughout my house which really is only 1800 Sq.Ft. in area. How to be configure these routers as access points as well as configuring the main router that will be connected to my broadband router. This is my first network to utilize streaming video, Internet Television Programs, Internet Radio, Accessing the Internet in all rooms of my house and outside the immediate adjacent patio area.
I have tried to find mib for my Linksys WAP54G acces point without succeed. Any body know how I could find it?? I want to program a software based on SNMP protocol. Is there some databses for mibs?
I have two SSIDs on an Autonomous Access Point, that goes to a 2960 switch, that connects to a L3 3560. I have a vlan for admin/private internal access that uses the native vlan (1) and guest vlan (50). I have configured both and I am trying to get both to go out the same Internet connection.
I cannot get the guest access to access the Internet. It looks like my computer will go, but it just comes up saying no Internet access.All interfaces are trunking this vlan properly. I can communicate from the laptop to the 3560 but I just can't get to the Internet.
I have a 5500 controller that we use to manage our lightweight access-points. We have had complaints that the 'guest' vlan in the boardroom is not usable. Our guest vlan is in fact overloaded.
I went back to the original site survey and noticed that coverage for the room is not ideal so I would like to have a new lightweight access-point installed in the boardroom and somehow limit the access to it to only a few people.
After moving my PC for the 3rd over the past year ive decided that having a more wire-"less" option may be the better option as supposed my previous method of having a 10m ethernet cable from my switch to my PC. ive looked at two options, first the powerline HD (was drawn toward the belkin 1gigabit ones as i have a gigabit switch) or to remove the cable completely and using a USB wireless dongle (similar to the Edimax EW-7811UN Wireless 802.11b/g/n 150Mbps Nano USB Adaptor) . i havent had much experience with these USB wireless things as i used be put off by the compatibility and config (software stuff). i have a 3com wireless 54mbps.. PCI card but i cannot install the drivers for it on my xp 64bit machine.
if it would be possible to use a powerline adapter to connect a to second router? I'm currently hardwired like this, but I'm just wondering if powerline would work the same way, as I'd like to switch which room the wireless is running from.
Just got a e4200. However I also have a cisco av power line adapter which worked fine. However when connecting to the 4200 it doesn't recognize the Internet. Have rebooted, reset switched ports etc. But it still doesn't work. It sees the network but not the Internet. Have tried everything ikon but no luck. Cannot connect my directive to the Internet. If I can't get it to work will have to run a 50 foot cable.
my goal is to share my cable modem signal over my two story house using two wireless routers. The delima is that the routers don't support wireless bridging and if they did, the signal is too weak to make it worth while.
The remedy I came up with... buy a pair of powerline network adapters and connect one router to the other so I could have a good signal upstairs and then a good signal downstairs.
Downstairs, I have the cable modem connected to the Linksys WRT54G router, which has a line out to my blu ray player, wirelessly feeds a PC downstairs and then has a cable run to the powerline adapter.
Upstairs, I have a cat5 connecting the powerline adapter (which was tested and works with laptop) to the data input port on my second wireless router, the netgear wndr3400.
I can't get the netgear upstairs to pull an IP address from the linksys router downstairs over the powerline network.
having the same issue at work with an EnGenius EAP350 wireless access point. can't even get into the access point configuration login page. i've tried to connect both via ethernet cable direct and wirelessly, at the default ip address of 192.168.1.1, what else can i do to get into the configuration?
I have TP Link Wireless Router i attached TP Link access with it. The problem is am unable to see the attached Access Point in the Router, so that i could see the other users who are connected with that AP. Internet through that access point is available for all the users.
I have a fairly large home (>5000 sq ft) with multiple levels and some "dead spots" in the extreme areas. I would like to have a fantastic wi-fi signal through the home for access to my home network for my family and internet for guests. I have Fios with a 50/20 mpm with a "g" router. I also have purchased 2 repeaters (ampedwireless.com) and installed 1. Recognizing that it appears to have created a different network, so this isn't what I want to do. Then I went back and purchased 2 access points. I need to have an "hardware solution" in my theater (basement) as well as in my bedroom (3rd floor).
I have a wireless access point I cannot determine the ip for, every thing I try to find it just gives me the ip of my router. I need to change the channel of the wireless access point itself, the router doesn't allow me to do that.
Currently have a sbs2003 with 2 nics want to install a wireless access point for the internal network. the wireless router is on the external wan how do i link the access point to this?
I'm currently assigned the task of purchasing new wireless access points, for our offices, at my workplace. We've previously been using "HP V-M200" access points, but we encoutered heavy throughput problems with these. During my tests of the network, I've seen these APs decrease their tranfer-rate to 30Mb, during file-transfer and ping-test. The issue here is concerning the transfer-rate from the Network Interface Card of my laptop to the wireless AP (did an iptraf while testing, and then noticed the 30Mb).
I am trying to add a 2nd wireless access point to my network at work basically to allow a better wireless signal on a 2nd floor.1st Access Point is a LInksys WAP54G Wireless G Access Point.I had a Belkin F5D7234-4 ver 4 G Wireless Router at home that I brought in to use as the 2nd access point. IP info on the Linksys is 192.168.1.245, subnet is 255.255.255.0, Gateway is 192.168.1.1.The Belkin has been reset to factory defauts so IP is 192.168.2.1.If I connect my PC directly to the router using one of the wired ports not the modem port, I can access the router webpage.As soon as I enable access point mode and change the router IP to 192.168.1.246,I lose the router and cannot access it at all to finish the network configuration.
