I have a desktop connected to a wireless network. I have a router that will be used to allow open access to the internet without allowing direct access to the existing network, There is no ethernet connection in the area and this router was ree with limited features. So no Wifi as WAN I want to use the desktop's ethernet NIC to obtain a WAN connection. For now I can not setup a VLAN and must configure the two networks as poorly described. Sadly I am not familiar with bridging connections in XP and am unsure about specifics. Also, as a quick test, I bridged the connections and lost wireless connectivity.
I have this setup at home and I can't make wireless bridging to work with two WR740N routers.I tried 3 online tutorials and none of them worked
R1,R2,R3 = routers The main router "R1" Is setup like this : IP Address 192.168.100.1 DHCP enabled 192.168.100.120 - 192.168.100.150 Gateway 192.168.100.1
My office just moved to a bigger location, and we are having trouble with network connectivity.
Current layout: Modem --- Wired-----> 2wire 5012NV ------wired/wireless----> PCs
The 2wire is at one end of the office, and PCs at the other end experience poor wireless connectivity.I'm thinking of using a spare WRT54G2 in "bridged" mode, to extend the Ethernet, and wireless of the main router.
For wired bridging, I understand that that the WRT54G2 will do, is act as a "port multipler", where 1 port from the 2wire can be multiplied into 4. I also want the wrt54g2's wireless to extend the Ethernet connection (not extend the wireless connection).
i have an ARRIS TM822 cable modem provided by comcast, in addition i have a linksys e3000 wireless router. what i am trying to accomplish is to bridge the cable modem over to the router. i messaged comcast about this issue and i have attempted what they told me to do, but im not getting any where.
I have 4 computers (3 laptops, 1 desktop) in a shared office. We get internet access using their wireless network. All works fine. However, I need to share a printer amongst all of the computers. The printer is LAN enabled and I would normally just put all the PCs on a hub, together with the printer and share it that way. BUT my question is can we access the internet using the wireless network and the printer using a separate wired network at the same time?
I have been involved in the Networking of a museum with a set of "Show" computers which display video, and for this reason cannot have anti virus installed becuase of the performace hit, and also the risk of pop-ups on the videos. They do however need to be connected to the internet as some are interactive and allow people to send simple emails, and they all need to allow remote support when things go wrong.It seems the networking was not thought out very well initially, and there is a single wireless router which serves the staff and public on a secured wireless network, but also serves the "Show" machines via a wired connection from one of its ports, which then connects to a master switch which serves the show machines.Now the wired and wireless is on the same network, and everything shares the same IP subnet (192.168.1.xxx), and this is not a good situation in terms of the securuty of the show machines on the wired network. So I need to work out a way to totally separate the wireless network (which will be very prone to people opening viruses in their emails etc), from the wired network (which will be the show machines which wont be touched by anyone).
I want to achieve this in the simplest and easiest way, and have been reading about the possibility of setting up a second wired router behind the current wireless one, with a different subnet IP address, to which the "Show" machines could be connected. The WAN port on this second router would connect to a LAN port on the wireless router, and thus the show machines could get their internet, but separated from the dangerous wireless network.Does this sound like a sensible start? Will the fact that the wired router (and show machines) are on a completely different subnet to the wireless router (and wireless devices), mean that the wired network will be protected? Or do I need to do more? And is this likely to work?
I am having two connections in same pc 1 via lan and other via 3g(dailing method). I want to combine bandwidth of two connections. As windows 7 has no option for it,is there anyway todo it directly or indirectly.
My computer is a 32 bit, Win7 SP1 with Pentium Dual Core 2.6 Ghz and 2Gb of Ram on a wired network. My wife has a similar system using a wireless network. She can ping my IP Address, but I cannot ping hers. We both have full access to the Internet. We are using the same workgroup, and both computers have file and printer sharing enabled and IPv6 addresses and DNS server addresses selected automatically.The problem appears to be with my computer?
Here are my system stats:

My current project is to have a printer that actually works. You don't need one often, but when you do you really need one. I'd like the printer to be wireless as we all use laptops but don't want to have the printer near the router.
The simple solution is to shell out for a wireless printer, but I have access to a cheap (and good) ethernet only printer. Now, how to connect it? I have a spare old router, which I'm thinking of connecting to the printer. I'd then have to get the router to join the network (is that possible?) or somehow bridge them. The to devices to join would be this and this.
Today I want to build a wireless bridge using AIR-AP1131AG (running WLC) and TP-LINK wireless router. The result is failed. May I know AIR-AP1131AG is support bridging the wireless connection with other vendor's access point or not?
In the TP-Link I already match its SSID, Channel and put the mac-address of the AIR-AP1131AG. In the WLC I already see too TP-LINK mac-address is already become a client.
I have a redundant Cisco EPC2425 that I want to use as a wireless bridge to connect to my current home router (an EPC3925).
I have got the channels/band/keys matching yet the 2425 is failing to connect to my home router. I have set the 2425 in bridge mode and currently can only set the wireless properties.
I have both ends of the supposed bridge referencing the other's MAC.
When I try to enter advanced settings on the 2425 I get a notice that the function has not been enabled.
What can I try to get these two boxes talking to each other?
I'm trying to bridge two buildings with two WAP200E. The connectivity is fine, but I'm only able to get one VLAN through the bridge. That is the default VLAN 1 wich is untagged. I have two additional VLANs wich is tagged. I can not get these two through the bridge. I have set up a single SSID, and enabled VLAN. I have also tried to set up more than one SSID, mapping each VLAN to separate SSID's, but bridging several SSID's between two AP's make the AP's loose connectivity periodically. What would be the propper way of bridging several VLANs between two WAP200E ?
I have my internet coming into my WAG120N and going out wirelessly. I want to setup a wireless bridge between this and an E1500, so I can connect my TV to the E1500 (via an ethernet cable) and have it access the internet. Unfortunatly I can run a cable from the WAG120N to where the TV is. So it I can get the E1500 wirelessly bridged to the WAG120N? I have updated the firmware ont he E1500 to get Bridging support, but from what I can tell it only provides bridging via an ethernet cable. Is there away to bridge wirelessly?
I'm attempting to bridge from a Netcomm router to my EA6500, I can set the Netcomm into bridging mode no problems and as expected the Internet is gone.Next step is to access my EA6500 to configure it to manage Internet access however when I try 192.168.1.1 to get to my EA6500 it takes me to the WEB interface for the Netcomm router as it's default IP is also 192.168.1.1, so I'm stuck.So they have the same default IP address, how do i get to my EA6500 to finish the configuration?
I 've bought an AP541N & WAP4410N for the purpose to wireless(ly) bridge my TV with the Internet. The AP541N is connected to a AS5505 > Internet. My TV is connected to the ethernet port of the WAP4410N. (Also tried my laptop) I 've set WDS bridging on both APs:
- with and without encryption
- with same and different SSID and/or channel
In AP541N I can see that the WDS is up. However I cann't ping the WAP441N (hardset IP-address in same subnet as AP541N) from the AP541N. Therefore not strange that my TV/laptop doesn't get an ip-address through DHCP.
Although I tried this for home purposes, I gathered that if it worked it would be a nice SMB solution. I 'm a freelancer and I want to be sure that what I propose as a solution/option actually works.
I 've read in this forum that it might not work because of incompatible chipsets? If this is the case Cisco should mention in the datasheets so I don't waste my money or loose my credibility !
I currently have a 2811 and a LAN setup via a sub-interface FA0/1.3 and using a HWIC-AP I have a sub-interface dot11radio 0/1.5. I have them setup to work and surf the inet great, but I have recently been overly annoyed with the fact that the wifi cannot access windows shares on desktops and visa versa with the laptops.
The trick to make this happen is currently they are not on the same subnet. I know the answer is bridging the interfaces but when I do this using the simple commands:
bridge 1 protocol ieee interface x & y bridge-group 1
Although what should be simple has failed (good thing I tftp'd my working config). Here is my current configuration.
interface FastEthernet0/1.30 encapsulation dot1Q 30 ip address 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0
I currently have a wired PC connected to a single Ethernet out DSL modem. I am buying a laptop for my daughter and would like to have a wireless connection for it.

I have Enable WDS Bridging and run Survey which detect the other SSID to be joined with the correct MAC address.I had filled the password of my second THOMSON v 585 V7 with the correct Auth Type both routers broadcast on channel 11.But my TP-Link 2543ND cannot made it work.I also disable DHCP and changed my LAN ip to 192.168.1.2 and can access it over my lan.
(1) E3000 as root router - IP: 192.168.1.1 - DHCP Server: Enabled - Start IP Add: 192.168.1.100 (2) TL-WR841N as bridge - IP:192.168.1.2 - DHCP Server: Disabled - WDS Enabled
The problem:I bridged (2) Wirelessly to (1).when i'm connected to (1) there seem to be no problem at all, the internet is working just fine and i can even ping & connect (2), i guess that means the bridging is working.But when im connected to (2), I get a 'limited connection' & I can't connect the internet. I also can't ping & connect to (2).The IP assigned for the computer that is connected to (2) Wirelessly is not matching the DHCP confg. (169.254.228.216).I have reason to belive that the problem is somehow from a wrong configuration with the LinkSys router but i dont know what it could be. i started from scratch, reseting the two routers over and over again while trying different configurations but with no luck.
We have a pair of 1310's (running 12.3(8)JEA3) connecting 2 buildings together. The wired side of each AP is connected to switchports configured as access ports.
But, now we need to extend multiple VLANs across the wireless bridge. So I'm thinking I just need to configure some sub-interfaces on the radio side and ethernet side and bridge them together. But I'm unclear on if I need an SSID for each bridge group. I would hope not. But after reading this, I'm not sure. Most of the documentation seems to be dealing with wireless clients. Well, in this case I don't have any wireless clients and just need to extend VLANs.
These 2 sites are hundreds of miles away from where I am, and I don't have any 1310's to test this out on. Should I be able to load similar software on other AP's (like 1142's) and have them function as bridges to test this out?
just wanted to know if the SA520W can wirelessly bridge (Workgroup bridge, WDS, etc -don't care which) to either an AP541N or AP1252... using WPA2-PSK
the 2 seperate examples would be
Internet --->SA520W --(Wireless 30 feet) --->AP541N -->ESW-540-24P-K9 internet --->Sa520W --(Wireless 30 feet)----> AP1252 -->ESW-540-24P-K9 internet --->AP1252 ---(Wireless 30 feet) ---->SA520W-->ESW-540-24P-K9
in other words do you just go into the config of the SA520W ... enter in an existing SSID name and the WPA2-PSK password and it joins that wireless network. lastly does the SA520W support POE to the switch above or only the AP541N
I have a 1242 Access Point as root and a 871W Router as a non-root bridge (Diagram attached). I have a laptop connected to Fa 0 of the 871W router.
* I am able to ping from the AP to the Router and vice versa * I am also able to ping from the router to the laptop and vice versa * But I am not able to ping from the laptop to the AP
All bridging commands seem to be fine. Even tried adding route commands, but none seem to work.Please find the configuration below:
We have a WIRED network and a WIRELESS network at work. I start downloading a big file over the wireless network. I realize that it is slow, half way thru the processs there any way, I can set up the network, such that, DURING the file transfer process, I can switch from wireless to wired, without any disruption?...
my work has a wired network. We currently have no wireless access. Some of us have could use a WiFi connection for our mobile phones, to receive emails etc. I have a spare wireless router at home and would like to know if I can connect it at work, to provide wireless access.
I am having a networking trouble within my work network. I began to noticed the network infrequently dropping a few weeks ago. It was then started working good for 2 weeks and then yesterday it dropped 6 times. I purchased and setup a Linksys e4500 thinking that a more expensive router will take care of the job but it seems to be happening again. Today it worked fine for about 4 hours then dropped twice. I tried pinging the router but that did not work
I want to go from my asus rt-n66u router wirelessly to another device that I can plug an ethernet cord from a desktop computer. I work on computers and my workstation cannot be close to my router. Instead of installing a wireless adapter everytime I work on a computer, I want something that I can plug an ethernet cord into that will connect wirelessly to my router. I just want to get an internet connection to my work computers without having to run an ethernet cord across my front room. I have read so much about bridging and access points but can't really figure out what would be best or what my router is capable of. I have tried in WDS mode and couldn't get to work with another router I have and also read it cuts you bandwidth and also forces you to use WEP securit
I just bought the Cisco E1200 about two weeks ago to replace an older Linksys non wireless router. With my old Linksys, I had an Acess Point installed, a trendnet TEW-638APB. Now that I have the new Cisco E1200 which itself is wireless, I'd like to add my TrendNet Access Point to the netowork and extend the wireless range. However the place in the house I want to put it does not have any CAT-5 cable running to it so I'm trying to set up a bridged connection between the two. I'm a bit new to netoworking stuff but I catch on pretty quick. I've been doing research on it all day between the TrendNet AP and the Cisco E1200 but I'm still a little lost. I've got WDS enabled on the TrendNet AP and have the first MAC address set to the Wireless MAC address of the E1200 but I don't get what to make the next three MAC address. Somone told me to make all 3 of them 00:00:00:00:00:00. Is that correct?
I also have both the E1200 and the TrendNet AP set to the same channel, both are on a 20Mhz channel width, Both have the same SSID though I'm pretty sure that doesn't matter in the long run from what I've read. Also, no incryption on either (no need for it out here).So I guess I'm just wondering how do I use the E1200 as a Wireless Base Station? If that's what it's called? I have upgraded the firmware of the E1200 from 1.0.00 to 1.0.03 but that didn't change anything in regards to seeing an option for a bridging mode or anything. Other than that I'm not sure what else to do.
I'm a little stuck with a 4400 7.0.220.0 + RAP 1550 + MAP 1260 Ethernet bridging issue. I'm using the VLAN tagging functionality and I'm finding that periodically a VLAN that I've tagged on the MAP will deregister from the backhaul and stop passing traffic. If I go into the Mesh tab on the MAP, select the wired interface, remove the VLAN from the list of tagged VLAN IDs and then add it right back to the list, its starts passing traffic again
I have established dual-rlans on different segments.I have a 2960g switch. I created vl2 (management) and vl3 (data).I connected rlan1 (port4) to vl2 and rlan2 (port3) to vl3.My laptop receives a dhcp address on vl3 and the switch (in dhcp mode) receives it's proper address on vl2.Unfortunately a MAC is assigned to each vl and to the management interface. Thats 3 out of the 2 sets of 4.
So a managed switch is NOT the desired device to have on the back side of an OEAP600.In any case doing a show mac address-table revealed that all the vl2 MAC addresses were duplicated on vl3.To the tune of 216 addresses. 108 in each vlan. Which is a close match to the current host counts for each segment 98 + 18.Obviously this application is not what was envisioned by the OEAP team during work-up.The goal of 4 host devices on the rlan is proving difficult to achieve.The client wants 2 pc's and 2 digi-port servers.
I have a dell desktop running windows vista that connects to my wireless router with a cable. I have an HP laptop that is running windows 7 that is wireless.When I look at network computers on the dell I get an error message that says that the computer is not accessible. The same thing happens when I try to log onto the desktop from the laptop. When I try to run the network wizard from the desktop, I see see connect to the internet, connect to a wireless router or access point, setup a dialup connection and connect to a workplace.None of them make sense but I tried connect to a wireless router and got a message that said to set it up manually or set up a flash drive, neither of which makes sense. I tried set it up manually and all that happened is the router setup screen opened up.I tried the same thing on the laptop and the setup the network wizard opened a screen that said choose a wireless router or access point to configure, but nothing ever showed up on that screen.
