I'm currently training a group of adults to take A+ soon. I had a question from one of the delegates on the best way to expand the range of a wireless n connection from a router to the rest of the house, WITHOUT using a second WAP.
View 3 RepliesI'm currently using my Acer Aspire x1700 desktop computer running Windows 8. It's connected to my router via Ethernet and gets about 25mb/sec. The problem is, my router can only broadcast the signal to my two front rooms and all of the rooms of the level it's on (Living Room, Sun Room, & Kitchen). All of my devices get full signal in these rooms. The holidays are coming up, so people are going to start bringing cellphones, tablets, gaming devices, etc into my house. My room is about 24 ft away from it (My 2nd floor is 8.5 ft above the 1st). In my room, my laptop, a Dell Inspriron running Windows 7, got about 13mb/sec. But as soon as I walk into the next room, which is about 8 ft away, the signal becomes very spotty on my iPod touch/iPad. My laptop can pick up about 2 bars, and so can my Grandma's HP. If I move another 2 feet into my mom's room my iPod Touch/iPad gets one bar, my laptop still gets two, but it's very slow and spotty. My iPod touch/iPad gets a kind of weak signal in my room.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a wireless network in a 2 storey house. The internet access and 1 WRT54GS router is on the 1st floor (using frequency channel 11). The wireless single doesn't do very well on the second floor unless there is a device with a strong antenna. I recently purchased a WET610N Bridge and I have an extra WRT54GS (using frequency channel 1).
I would like to be able to add wireless to the 2nd floor by attaching the extra router to the bridge which would wirelessly connect to the router with the internet.
I have a US Robotics 8700 NAS (4 bay). I have it running Raid 5. I'd like to buy a bigger shell with more bays to expand the drives. Can I do this easily? Is it hot swappable? If I put the 4 bays in say an 8 drive array, can I add additional drives and will the existing drives work in a different NAS

The upstairs living room has a crappy signal where loading videos becomes painfully slow. Awhile ago, I just tried to relocate my router upstairs and just drill a hole for a CAT cable to slip through to the modem downstairs from my room(as my room is directly above the router)...3 useless holes later, for whatever reason it is impossible to drill through. What are my other solutions?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a netgear CVG834G main router, were my desktop is plugged on to.I pulled a new cable trough the house and garage to have internet access on the other side (cable length is about 80 meters).After the 80meters of cable I placed a Linksys WRT54GS v5.1 router. The problem is that I can connect to the Linksys, but the Linksys can�t connect to the netgear. On the Linksys the internet LED is blinking very slowly (what does this mean?). So first I thought that the cable was broken or too long. I tested the cable => not broken. I connected the Linksys with the netgear trough a shorter cable and then connected my laptop via the long cable (80meter) and this works perfectly.Is the maximum distends a netgear can take less than 80 meters? (thought is was 100meter ).

Host Name: pagegateway
Domain Name: mycompany.com
Device IP address: 10.20.181.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP Server is not enabled on the RV016. We currently have a Windows 2003 Server that is acting as Exchange Server, Active Diretory, and DHCP Server. My issue is that we are running out of IP addresses and I have about 20 or so left to assign. Given the above setting can I make changes to my RV016 to give me more than 256 addresses? If yes what do I need to do and do I need to make any changes on Windows Server?

When users from Lan accessing the internet, it goes out to our GW1 but I want the RETURN internet packets will go first to Expand 2 for compression then goes to Expand1 for decompression. see attached network diagram setup. All Expand appliances are already configured. What configuration should be in GW1 and R2, both C2851?

I have a Dlink Wireless N Xtreme DIR-655 I have run out of port 4 on it to a switch with a cat 5 patch cable that is 25 ft long It is connected to the Internet port on a Dlink 4 port switch. When i run from that on any of the 4 ports back to my computer ( Win7). I get no internet access but if i connect the cable straight from the router there is no problem. I even attempted to use a older dlink router for the switches and no luck there at all. Any reason the internet would not be broadcasting through the switch.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just installed a Linksys WRT160N router. The signal started of good about 50 to 70 feet from the routers location. Now the signal is registering as low to good, about 54Mbps. I was wondering what options I might have to install a wireless bridge for expansion of the signal. I have configured an encrypted network using WPA2. I am wondering what the technical difficulty would be to install and configure it. I setup the WRT160N myself if that means anything.

I'm using a router WAG320N in my home but now i need to expand my lan with another ports and wireless coverage.In a wired point (connect directly to the router) i need 3 ehternet ports and a repetear of a wireless signal.The optimal solution woulb be a switch gigabit with an integrated acces point, but I understand that there is no such thing...So going to buyng the switch SE2500 and the AP WAP610N... but then I realized the existence of the bridge WES610N!But the information on the linksys italian site is not enough and the relative page does not works... i need to now if this object can take a wired lan replicate it in 3 ports and expand the wireless network of my router.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just picked up a 24 port Catalyst 2950 to expand my home network and learn a bit more about networking. Having just upgraded the IOS software 'm now trying to get this to work as required on my network but I'm having a few issues.
My intentions are to plug my cable router/modem wan connection which is set up as the dhcp server to fa 0/1, then use fa 0/2 - 24 for the rest of my wired network. So essentially all on the same subnet interfacing with the router 192.168.0.1.
So far I have set up all of the security on the switch, and have all switch ports assigned to vlan1 with no IPs. My laptop connected to fa0/2 however is not assigned an ip address. Looking at a few posts I ahve rightly or wrongly played about with dhcp snooping.

I have recently had to deploy a 1410 in a Root/Non-root bridge configuration to expand a terrestrial network across to an uncabled area.
All switches in play are 2960 series and the bridge is running with multiple Vlans.

we had servers with 10. addresses and they now give out 192. addys when pinged. The addresses haven't been changed manually but what might cause this?

I have a friend with a very large area to cover with internet.He already has a Belkin F5D7634-4 wireless modem router.Connected to this is a Belkin F5D7132 wired as an access point using an ethernet cable and adapter. Working perfectly.I need to add a second Belkin F5D7132 wired as an access point using an ethernet cable and adapter. This is to give coverage in another area of the building.My problem is this:-Both access points work perfectly on their own.
Router - IP 192.168.2.1
Wired access point 1 - IP 192.168.2.256
Wired access point 2 - IP 192.168.2.250
Router + Wired access point 1 = WORKS
Router + Wired access point 2 = WORKS
Router + Wired access point 1 + Wired access point 2 = NOTHING WORKS (router goes bonkers and all the lights flash very fast)What do I need to change to get them all to work together?I have spent an hour on the phone to Belkin support, they took me through the steps to install a wireless range extender.
Little info on my setup as is: Comcast ISP Internet Modem with the wireless gateway built in. I live in a faily large house and am out in my garage a lot where the signal is sub-par, id also like to have internet out in my yard without it sucking.
I have an extra linksys wrt45g sitting in my garage...could I use that someway to extend the range of my wifi? The signal from my main gateway is wireless N.
I have an IPAD, pc , laptop, mobile and my daughter comes over with her ipod and mobile.As I understand things my IP address range is not big enough and as a result my IPAD keeps dropping and saying not connected
View 14 Replies View Relatedif some gave me an IP address and subnet mask, and they told me to identify the range of valid subnets I have no clue how to do it. I know how to work out the total number of subnets and hosts, you just look at how many subnet bits have been borrowed and use the 2^ formula. For example with the IP 172.28.123.0/25 I know the default mask for a classs B address is 255.255.0.0/16 so in this example we have borrowed 9 subnet bits to give mask of 255.255.255.128/25 and 7 host bits remain. In order to find the total number of subnets you do, 2 to the power of 9 because we borrowed 9 bits, which tells us that there's 512 subnets and to find out how many hosts we do, 2 to the power of 7 because we have 7 host bits, so that gives us 128 hosts in each subnet. Now this is where I get lost, how do I find out the number of the first and last subnet? I know there's 512 subnets and each subnet has 128 hosts. But I don't know the number of each subnet, the range to be more precise. How do I workout the first, second, third, fourth etc subnet address
