I added a switch (TP-Link TL-SG1005D plugged into a D-Link DGL-4100 router)) so I could add a computer or two to my network. I have my Vonage modem plugged into the switch and it works fine, but when I try to plug a computer into it, nothing. I've been trying to use an XP machine that I rebuilt, and I keep getting the "limited or no connectivity" message.
I've tried all the fixes I could find for that, and still no joy. I even plugged it right to the modem with no luck so I tried plugging my Windows 7 machine into the switch and it couldn't find the network either, but it works fine plugged into the router. When I go into the router, it has an IP address assigned to the switch, but the phone modem does not show up, where it did when plugged directly into the router. Is this normal?
Am I missing something simple here as far as the switch goes? The XP machine won't find the DHCP server and has the 169.254.XXX.XXX IP address with a MAC address of FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF. I've tried Microsoft's hotfix and releasing and renewing the IP...nothing. I know that's separate problem than the switch.
So I finally got all my parts delivered to setup a home file/backup server this week.
It's currently running Ubuntu Server and I'm using Samba to share files on my network.
The server currently has a 2TB WD Green drive in it connected to a Asus M5A78L-M
This is then connected via CAT6a to my new Gigabit switch (TP-Link TL-SG1005D). My home desktop is then also connected to this switch and again also through CAT6a cable.
Currently when transfering files I will get a perfect 100MB/s read from the server to my Windows machine. When copying from my Windows machine to the server I get around 30/38MB/s.
I know this drive is capable is faster speeds.
I have found ftp's write speed is much closer to what my Samba read speed is so I'm going to give it a guess that is a software problem rather than hardware
1. Green Packet DX-230 WiMAX modem with router 2. D-Link DIR-615 ver G2 (from my ISP) 3. D-Link 8 port desktop switch
I previously used the DIR-615 with my high speed broadband connection. However I had to move to a new house and here I can only get WiMAX. I want to...Place the WiMAX modem upstairs to serve as modem and wireless access point Have the DIR-615 function as the main router and firewall (downstairs) Use the switch to connect all the rooms in my house FYI my WiMAX modem has no connection configurations. I just plug it in and it'll connect automatically to the WiMAX signal. It has 2 LAN ports but no WAN port. From my understanding of networking, I have to turn off DHCP on my WiMAX modem, put it in the same IP range as my DIR-615 (192.168.0.100-199), and disable UPNP and NATPMP. After this I'm stuck.How do I tell my DIR-615 to use the WiMAX modem as it's WAN connection?Should I reserve an IP for the modem in my DIR-615?
I am in the process of opening an internet cafe. I dont know exactly what a pc server does on the network... or do I really need one? Is the switch/hub sufficent to connect all pcs to the moderm to connect to the internet?
I want to use my dlink Dir-655 router as a switch or a wireless hotspot, the reason is that i have to use a modem and a router for my network provider P2602HWT is the model i have to use, is there any way i could do this, right now when i try to use the dlink router as a switch after 5minutes the network stops working until i shut down the dlink. Also the router i have to use only has 3 100mb ethernet ports, the Dlink one has 4 gigabit ports. Any way i could use my dlink as a wireless hotspot and a switch without conflicting with my other router?
Region : Others Model : TL-MR3020 Hardware Version : V1 Firmware Version : ISP :
After I configure the WAN setting on TL-MR3020, my laptop unable to connect to my TL-MR3020 anymore, the message says "windows was unable to connect to TP-LINK_POCKET_3020_B5F9AD".
I have a dir-655 and have two schedules set up, one for weekend and one for week days, for wireless access. Is there a way to switch from one schedule to the other automatically?
I am using my DIR-825 as a switch and AP. I have turned off DHCP and plugged the internet into the lan-1 port. This works perfectly for IPv4, but I cannot get IPv6 to work. On the outside there is native IPv6 running radvd. How should I configure IPv6 on my DIR-825?
Here is my configuration. My new DIR-601 router is connected this way. Wan port to Isp modem, LanP1 to a Win7 Pc1, LanP2 to a Linksys router, DHCP diisable using the 4 LAN ports as a switch in wich 2 Pc are connected 1) Win Xp PC2 and 2) Ubuntu 10.04 PC3.
The problem is , I can not access internet behind the telesyn switch, PC2 and PC3 have no access to Html servers on the Wan, except if I define PC2 or PC3 , only 1 allowed at a time, as DMZ. If I plug PC2 or PC3 directly in DIR-601 port everything is ok.
Why DIR601 port connected to a switch does not work the same way than conected to a PC. Any solution to give Internet access to PC behind a switch ?
NB: This work if I replace DIR601 with DIR620 router.
I just bought new 942L (HW Rev3, 1.12 FW) and the only profile which is used to stream to iPhone or Web browser in mydlink is profile 3 which is limited to JPEG. Is there some way how to change the profile to be used for streams or is there a way how to make to profile 3 something else then JPEG?
my config : one DAP-1522 as an AP + one DAP-1522 as a switch, 6 meters between them, signal strength about 70. Any others wifi networks around my house. both with FW140b03.bin dated 01/14/2011.Most of the time, both work correctly. But time to time, the wifi link is ko. In AP status, the switch is mentionned connected (uptime = 3 hours ...). The red led is blinking on the switch. The administration web of the switch is not available and the link is ko. Unplug and plug power units doesn't fix the problem. I need to reset DAPs.From Dlink experts, i would like to get more description about issues :
- in switch mode, which are the events modifying the red led state ? what does blinking / off led mean ?
- in AP mode, what does "uptime ...STA ...." mean ? frames are periodically received from STA ?
I currently have a D-Link DES-1228P and it is way too loud for my office.Would like a quiet 24 port Gigabit switch with Power over Ethernet, but if that's not possible, I'll take it without the PoE and plug the phones in with the transformers they came with.Something quiet, not to elaborate, that can be managed by a web gui, 24 port minimum, prefer to have gigabit on all ports, need priority for VoIP traffic, and under $1,000. I'd consider something higher end, but don't think I would need the features or know how to manage it.
Can someone give me a sample router config (Cisco801) for the below scenario. Not familiar with networking.Server with 2 nic, connected to 2 different switches, each switch connected two lan interfaces of Same cisco801 for redundancy.Server must be able to reach gateway IP (in router) in case of either switch failure/server NIC failure.I also have 2 vlans, going to use same link for management vlan and application vlan.
I have a TP-Link WR541G/542G router which I would like to utilize as a switch to connect my xbox 360, blue ray player and TV box to the internet. The switch is connected to a powerline adapter and another adapter is connected to the main router Huawei HG533. I have tried to follow your instructions I found in the thread however it did not work.
Cable modem>Router>4 computers + 1 wireless printer.. But i needed more ports so i bought a trendnet gigabit switch with 8 ports.
Then I Plugged port 4 on router to >switch port 1
When all the computers are turned on and using everything at once i cant access websites but my skype works so i figure its probably a dns issue and my dlink is overloaded? I didnt try to access any sites with the ip only fail on my part.
Once this happened i immediately unplugged everything and restarted the router. I only have my own computer hooked up the router and did a firmware upgrade to 2.10na and my internet works immediately after but when i hook up another comptuer to the network i cant access any pages but my skype works..
Upstairs I have my internet coming in with a Comcast modem/ router ( I will be bridging this b'cuz it sucks as a router). Also, I have my Dir 655 upstairs that I will use for wireless. and I have my dir615 downstairs and I want to use it as a basic switch/wired router. How do I set up my dir615 as a switch/wired router?
Region : UnitedKingdom Model : TL-WR1043ND Hardware Version : v1 Firmware Version : ISP :
My house has thick internal walls, so WiFi does not propagate easily. I am fortunate to have FTTP. Therefore I have the following setup: At one end of the house there is a Genexis HRG1000 Fibre Optic Modem / Router with WiFi and 4 ethernet ports. One of its ethernet ports links to a Devolo 200Mb homeplug and there is a matching homeplug at the other end of the house which is linked to a WR1043ND. We have tried two configurations each with various settings. If we link into the WAN port it creates a separate network which cannot be seen from the fibre modem end (since the 196.168.1.n addresses are non-routing) and although this works, we cannot stream / transfer files from the PC (connected to the fibre modem by ethernet) to the smart TV connected to the WR1043ND. The TV can "see" the internet and things like iPlayer work. Various other gadgets can connect either by ethernet or WiFi and get successful internet access. Alternatively If we link into one of the LAN ports, AND disable both the DNS service and the DHCP server in the WR1043ND it all appears as one network, but although it is disabled, all the gadgets and computers try to use the DNS in the WR1043ND rather than that in the fibre modem and consequently there is no internet connectivity. We have tried several combinations of fixed and dynamic IP addresses, rebooting the WR1043ND and the PC etc. but nothing seems to work. What does work is giving both WiFi routers the same SID and password so that moving from one part of the house to another with, say, a smart phone transfers what connectivity there is seamlessly.
I have been struggling with my WHS 2003 (Acer EasyStore 340) for about a month. It stated prompting me with port forwarding errors (DIR 655 router) a while back signaling that I would not be able to access my WHS via the internet. I ignored the prompts for some time as was not actually using the internet connectivity to my WHS.I then added a D-Link DGS-1008G 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch to the DIR 655 Router as I ran out of LAN ports when I added my HTPC to my devices.then my WHS started disconnecting from my home network. I could not remote into it wirelessly (via latop) using Remote Connection in Windows 7 nor could I access is via the drives I had mapped to it via my HTPC (wired connection to same router).i only know there is an issue when the server disconnects. As it does not have a dedicated keyboard or monitor I can only see the desktop when I remote into it wirelessly from my laptop. When it disconnects I can see the WHS icon in my tray go from Green to Black. And when I try to remote in, I get errors saying the WHS cannot be found.i started to think that maybe it was my DIR 655 Router. I did the following with no success:
- Changed LAN ports - Changed network cables - Upgraded the firmware to 1.35NA - Reset to factory settings - performed 30-30-30 reset - physically forwarded ports for WHS (80/40/4125)
Given that I cannot solve the connection problem with the above router fixes, am I to conclude that the issue is with my WHS?
My Dlink DIR-615 had worked flawlessly for almost 7 months now.But since last week it started showing problems.All the computers connected to LAN thru the switch could not access the Internet but the Server(192.168.0.100) which is connected to the DIR-615 could connect to the internet.the above screenshot was captured thru a laptop running Win7 Ultimate connected to the DIR-615 thru WiFi-n.Even after repeated Reloads the same error cropped up in the browsers in the computers connected thru the switch.The computers connected to the switch could access the Internet after I restarted the router.
I tried to implement WLC5508 in my network but when I came to connect it to the switch core which is a Catalyst 4000 the link didn't get up. This switch module is a fastethernet, I wonder if that might be the problem since I also tried connecting my laptop to the WLC and the link got up.
If that might be the cause, is it possible to get WLC to 100 Mbps?
Can't get cisco router and switch to see each other? When I connect the 2620 router to a 2950 switch no link lights turn on. It's the same when I connect any router to either of the two 2950 switches I have. I can connect to both switch and router from a pc using telnet and the router can connect to a regular tp-link switch. I'm a newbie when It comes to Cisco. Here's the running config for the router and switch. There Is no connection when using any of the switch ports to connect to the fa0/0 of the router. [code]
In my device I am able to browse through & connect to my HOME wifi network ; But after connecting it says 'No Internet Access'.I tried connecting with my SONY Bluray , iphone , ipad , laptops -- everywhere same story.I am able to plug in the ethernet cable directly from modem & able to connect to network.I am not able to open the http://192.168.0.1 -- ( When I am plugged in the modem directly)
Following are my router details
FCCID - KA2DIR601A1 IC : 4216A-IR601 H/W Ver:A1 F.W Ver:1.00 NA
I'm trying to connect to my home laptop from work. The home laptop is connected to DIR-655 router. I set up the internal and external ports to 3389 using both TCP and UDP protocols with the Application as "Remote Desktop". From my work PC I enter the external IP with :3389 and it fails to connect. I have also tried accessing internally which is failing too. All computers are running Windows 7 Home Premium Remote Access is enable on all.
I'm watching a video streamed from my laptop and the signal is constantly being dropped. I suspect the D-Link DES-105. I have another Ethernet switch on the system as well but it is a Gigabit unmanaged switch from D-Link and has worked well with video streams. I've removed the DES 105 from the circuit and videos play fine. Should I dump to DES-105 for another Gigabit switch? SOme say I have a bad cable somewhere but I have tested all and have not found a problem.
Region : UnitedStates Model : TL-WDR4300 Hardware Version : Not Clear Firmware Version : ISP : Verizon DSL
My DSL connection comes into our house in the basement and the DSL modem came with a router included. I bought the WDR4300 for the higher speed wireless connections and the gigabit ports. I really don't need the "router" functionality. I would like to put the WDR4300 on the second floor to give (hopefully) the broadest wireless range. However, I would like all my PCs (including those wirelessly connected) to be on the same sub-net. Is there a way to configure the WDR4300 so it acts like a switch rather than a router?
Every so ofter, the switch of the router just stops moving traffic between the LAN and to/from internet, though the WiFi keeps working and can still use internet.
I can still use the router's switch, and ping other computers on the local LAN, what happens is that the router stop routing wired traffic from/to internet, the rest of the issue is still the same, I opened reddit on my smartphone and there it was working via WiFi, but the would have none of it for the computers on wired LAN, not even accessing the router's page or telnet.
It is like some service or bridge between the switch LAN and the router itself dies... I'm still clueless.
The only "pattern" that I see is that my desktop is on line, because I can be not at home for 12+ HS and I can connect remotely to the server (rd p and trans droid) so I know it has internet access, but sometimes I think this happens when I turn on my desktop, like just now, this morning, but again, I feel is not every morning, trying to be more scientific about it I come here after every time it happens to record it, and also set the record straight about the issue description.
So, assuming it is not a hardware issue, because I did not had this problem in all 2011 and 2012, I do not overclock the router neither use other than default TX power level.
- How do I begin diagnosing this issue? - If it is a known issue with this builds? I could no find it.
My goal is to be able to provide info for debugging the problem and possible finding a fix/workaround it. If it is indeed hardware failing, how do I even begin to diagnose it from that POV? The message is empty...
Even with the new build r21061 still happened two more times. Now the real problem to me, is that I cant even revert it to stock firmware, I tried even with:
- unplug router - press and hold reset - plug router - keep pressing until power led blinks orange - enter 192.168.0.1 (PC must have static IPA, i use 192.168.0.200)
Can't open 192.168.0.1 in FF nor chrome and does not even ping. [URL]. I just want to get it back to stock or do not hang up the switch-to-router(ing).
I would like to use the DAP-1522 as an Access Point (wired to my router). My two concerns are:Can the 3 remaining ethernet ports be used to wirely connect to local PCs (so the DAP-1522 also acts as a switch) ? In case answer to the previous is yes, would it affect the performances of the wifi ?
I have two 3750 switch.switch A(main) and switch B is connected by OFC but i have another wireless link for backup.Now if OFC goes down then i manually connect wireless link with switch B for this reasons i am faceing a lot of problem. I want without any changing of cable if my primary link goes down then my backup link automaticaly goes up and vice versa .
Switch-A port gi1/0/9 and Switch-B port gi1/0/9 is connect by OFC Switch-A port gi1/0/8 and Switch-B port gi1/0/8 is connect by Wireless link (backup) i attach my network diagram kindly find the attachment file.
I'm trying to use 1142 APs with a 2504 Wireless Controller through a D-Link 48PT GBIT XSTACK SWITCH (DLI-DGS-3120-48PC/SI).At any rate, the 1142 AP joins with the wireless controller ONLY when I attach it directly to the controller. When connected directly to the controller the AP functions normally and all is well. When I attach it through the D-Link switch, the AP flashs green several times, indicating that it can't find the controller. I suspect that there's some setting on the D-Link switch that's preventing the AP from seeing the controller.
Here is my setup: 1- laptop1 is windows 7 with 192.168.1.1, submask 255.255.255.0 2- laptop2 is windows XP with 192.168.1.2, same submask as above. Laptop1 connects via CAT5 (non-crossover) RJ-45 into a switch (port 1). Laptop2 connects via CAT5 (non-crossover) RJ-45 into port 2 of switch. Both ends of the CAT5 are, of course, connected into each laptop's network connector.pinging resulted in timed out from both.
