Can A Wireless Router Work Off Of An Ethernet Switch

Jun 17, 2012

My main PC and modem is in a back room of the house, my secondary PC and game systems are in the living room.My main PC HAS to have a wired internet connection because that is what I want.My game systems and second PC need a wired connection.I would like to have my D-Link wireless router in the living room so I can use the WiFi for my iPods, iPad, laptop, and anything else that I am looking at when I am sitting on the front porch. I have an Epson printer that I can hook up to my network that I want to be in the back room with my main PC.To get the internet into the living room I am going to run a CAT5E ethernet cable under my house (off the ground and away from electric wires and copper pipe) from my back room to the living room.Is it possible for me to go from the modem to a switch box (I actually have two switch boxes, but I believe I will only need one)which would be connected to my main PC, the printer, and the ethernet wire going under the house to the living room... Then in the living room have the wire that comes from under the house (from the back room) go directly into the wireless router and then from the router have cables going to my game systems and the second PC?If this will work, will I still be able to control the wireless router with my main PC?

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 - Get ABS Megacam 4 Ethernet Camera To Work?

Aug 12, 2011

I just got the e4200 the other day and everything has been great except I can't seem to get my ABS megacam 4 ethernet camera to work.It was working fine with my old router, and if I plug directly into it it works, but I can't access it through the router at all. I can see the camera in my routers client list, the camera is set to DHCP and it is assigning it an IP address but I can't connect to it. From my desktop pc (wired) I can using the IPwizard software that came with the camera and it will see the camera on the network but it wont connect to it, my wireless clients can't even see the camera using the same software.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G2 - Connect Ethernet Switch (for Hardwired Connections)?

Dec 29, 2011

In my main office, I have a cable modem which is connected to my main E4200 router. All of my equipment (except my Ooma) is served by the E4200. The E4200 broadcasts a wireless network.In my basement, I have a Wii / entertainment center. The E4200 signal from upstairs isn't strong enough to stream video.
 
I bought the WET610N and have successfully set it up to interact with the E4200 wirelss network. I can hardwire my laptop to the WET610N and verify the internet works greatHowever, the Wii must connect over wireless. I have other equipment in the basement which would benefit from an internet connection. So, I want to A) connect the ESXS88W 10/100 8-port workgroup switch I have to the WET610N *AND* also broadcast a wireless signal in my basement (assuming the wireless network I see in the basement is the same "old" one from upstairs which has not benefited from the WET610N).
 
How can I set up my WRT54G2 to broadcast a wireless signal in the basement so that it leverages the E4200 signal served by the WET610N, while also having the workgroup switch offer hardwired connections to my other equipment (like Dish Network receiver)? It doesn't seem to work by just plugging the WRT54G2 into the workgroup switch.

Router To Work As A Switch?

Oct 10, 2012

A switch and a router are both pretty straight forward in regards to how they work. Tho I have a problem with the router. I have 5 computers in my home and we have 5 different ips for the computers to use, these are handled by a switch. <Note: these are 5 *unique* ips that does NOT share bandwidth>

Recently I got a router and when I plugged it in it only gave us 1 ip to share amongst all 5 computers. This is a pretty big problem as we all of the sudden *share* the bandwidth. <Edit: the problem is that the router only gives us 1 of the 5 ips for the whole network to share>.What I wonder is what is it called when you get a router to accept multiple external ips and spread them out across the network, like a switch does? I assume this is a "special" feature on routers?

Will A Router Work As A Switch?

May 6, 2011

I want to be able to easily switch off the internet, but stay connected to my local network. I'm trying to set up an arrangement that allows computer 1 to disconnect from the Internet, but stay connected to the local network, so computer 2 can still access the printer that is slaved to computer 1, and let computer 2 connect to the internet anytime.If absolutely necessary, I have a second Router that might be employed, for switching purposes. The trick is to be able to do this switching simply. Can I issue a command from computer 1 that will let me disconnect from the internet, but stay on the local network?

Ethernet Cable Doesn't Work / Wireless Connection Sometimes Works

Mar 13, 2013

I try connecting via ethernet cable and it doesn't seem to work until the administrator of the network (my brother) comes home and then turns his computer on and starts using it. However, if i switch to a wireless adapter it sometimes works (like right now) even when my brother is not using the internet. Also, i tried to connect via wifi on my macbook pro to the same server and it used to work flawlessly 100% of the time, now i can only connect once in a while for short periods of times.

How To Configure A Switch To Work With A Router

Sep 16, 2011

Right now I have it connected like this: Internet-> SURFboard SB6120 Modem -> DGL-4100 Router (modem in the WAN port, 3 internet connections plus the switch in the LAN ports) -> DGS-1008G Switch (2 other internet connections connected to this, as well as an Xbox 360).The problem is that everything connecting to the router works, and nothing works on the switch even though the power light is on (however, the port on the router that is receiving the switch is not lit up). I'm guessing this is because the router only assigns as many IP addresses as it has ports or something.

Using Netgear Gigabit Ethernet Switch Instead Of Router?

Jan 7, 2011

So my old router needed replacement and my dad bought a Netgear gigabit ethernet switch instead of a router. It said that it gets 1Gbps when I look inside the local area connection speed. The problem was we tried to use it like a router but only 2 computers could connect to the internet at one time but it was indeed noticeably faster when it came to video streaming speed. We since returned it and bought a Netgear N600 router that says the speed is 300mbps but like my old router it shows the speed is actually 100mbps and the streaming is good for the most part but every now and then slows down. Would using the ethernet switch with our new router work with streaming speeds and connection stability and of course let more computers connect and also use the routers wireless.

Cisco WAN :: 3640 Router / Catalyst 2912 Switch - Ethernet Link?

Feb 8, 2011

I have a 3640 router with 4 Fast Ethernet Network Modules (1fe-tx, 1fe2w & 2fe2w-v2) and a Catalyst 2912 switch.  I can not acheive a link between the 2 devices. All four will not get a link light and the interface(s) show no errors. If I plug the Router nic  into virtually any other switch or workstation it works flawlessly. I put a switch between the catalyst and the 3640 and it works without error.
 
Steps I have tried...
 
1. Configure interfaces on both Switch and Router to Auto Speed, Auto Duplex2. Configure interfaces on both Switch and Router to speed 100, Full Duplex3. Try Both Crossover and Straight-Through verified working cables.4. Tried a second 2912xl-en switch
 
Both 2912 switches are factory defaulted, other then the changes I made to the speed and duplex to try to get them connected.Both the router and switches have been doing other functions (seperatlly) within our network for years?So my question is...Why is the NICs in the router compatible with every other vendor other than CISCO?

Adding Wireless To Ethernet Switch Setup?

Oct 2, 2012

OK i'm re-organising my network setup, most of my devices in my room are hard wired through Ethernet but some devices in the house need to run wireless.Currently i am running a super hub that has been configured into just modem only and a wireless router that gives wireless and hard wires up to 4 devices. Im wanting something that can be mounted out the way like an Ethernet switch but give it wireless accessibility too. I see you can buy access points to connect to your Ethernet switch device but will it give ample wireless connectivity if im running 4+ hardwired devices?I have recently been upgraded from 30Mbps to 60Mbps, this is fed from cable connection to the modem.

Cisco Wireless :: 2600 APs - Getting PoE From Switch But No Ethernet

Dec 10, 2012

I have a couple of 2600 APs (external antenna) which are getting PoE from my switch but no ethernet. This is happening on both APs. If I connect a laptop to the (cat5e) cable I get ethernet. If i move the AP to another patch lead adjacent to my switch I get ethernet connectivity too. So, change the cable is the answer I thought, however I have exactly the same issue on both APs and each ethernet cable has been reterminated a number of times (straight through). I wonder is the 2600 AP less tolerant to the actual ethernet cable ?
 
I just swap the cable, however the patch leads have been run (only 15m or so) and have been replaced once - relaying again is not an easy job. It's more a case of reterminating the cable that is already there and as I've already done this a few times on each patch lead and the results are the same each time I'm thinking I'm missing something obvious.

Cisco Wireless :: Cannot Get WAP121 To Work With SG100D-08P Switch

Dec 27, 2012

If I connect my WAP121 directly to my router, it works just fine.  But when I connect it to my SG100D-08P switch I can see it but when I connect, I get "limited connectivity" and it cannot "identify".  The switch is PoE and everything looks to be working fine, but I have tried it both PoE and regular thru the switch; nothing works.  Can't understand why if I connect it cat-cable going into the switch it works fine, but when I coonect it thru the switch, I have problems.  I thought this switch was unmanaged, but something is going on.

Wifi And Ethernet Do Not Work Simultaneously?

Jul 20, 2011

I am running windows xp on an old desktop, I am using a wiresless usb adapter to utilize a wifi connection available in the dorms. to connect, i have to enable proxy on the browser I am also using an Ethernet connection via a LAN cable, which does not need a proxy to run

The issue is that although i browse freely using both connections simultaneously by using two different browsers, with the proxy setting enabled in one and disabled in the other, i can not run uTorrent when both connections are enabled. i have to go into network neighbourhood and disable the wifi connection, and only then does downloading start. the university does not allow bit-torrent downloading on the wifi connection so i have to use the ethernet.

Ethernet Versus Serial Interfaces Work?

Dec 6, 2011

I know serial interfaces are called that because they put bits on the wire serially - i.e. one bit at a time. If that's the case for serial interfaces, how do other kinds of interfaces, such as Ethernet interfaces, put bits on the wire? Do they somehow put more than one bit on the wire at a time? I assume it's a faster process, but how so?

Plugging In RJ45 Ethernet Doesn't Work

Jun 2, 2011

When I plug in the ethernet cable, the netbook doesn't recognize the internet access. Nothing wrong with the ethernet port on the netbook, as i've used wired network at my dorm and the port does recognize the ethernet cable at my parents' house.

Also, is it possible to use the desktop as a sort of wireless router? Would connecting a usb wireless dongle to the desktop allow me to connect my netbook to the internet via the desktop?
