Connecting A WLAN To A Separate LAN?
Jun 22, 2012
I don't sound like a complete noob but anyway here it goes....I have a small business and work on my network myself. I am a novice but do enjoy the challenge. What I have in the closet is Comcast Business Class cable into a SMC 8014 router/ gateway with 4 lan ports. One of the ports goes into a ethernet switch and then those are fed into the panel for the corresponding 7 offices. The other lan port I connected a netgear n750 wireless router The Lan network is on a separate network form the wireless network because I set the Netgear n750 Wireless Router's DHCP server to on. I did this to keep people off of the local network. We have meetings with as many as 30 members and they use the wireless in varying degrees with no problems thus far. My problem now is that I think I have set it up wrong because I need to connect to my network printers and work-group computers with my wireless laptop ....problem is they are on different networks or subnets. They all have the same public IP of course but 2 seperate DHCP private networks...Is the term "different subnets"???
What I am looking to do is change the Router to an Access point or whatever works....... that grants access to the internet only for visiting members and........ Wireless access to my lan and internet for my laptop's Would making the Wireless Router an Access Point by turning off the DHCP sever and creating guest accounts be the right choice. Or is there a way to connect to my LAN through the wireless network without making this change.

I have two dir655 routers that are connected. The second router is not setup as a wireless access point, but I am open to that if it will work. The second one is going to serve as a public wifi in a business, with a separate SSID. The first one is going to handle the local business network, with its NAS and printers. How would I prevent the public wifi from accessing the first router?
I have tried the guest wifi partition setting, however it still allows access to the lan devices on the first router. It does partition with the second router properly though, but thats not worth anything to me cause there are no lan devices on the 2nd router.
Would it work right if I turn the 2nd router into a access point, disable the dhcp server, and set it up with the guest wifi partition?

One month out of the box, my Dell Inspiron M5030 suddenly refuses to connect to my Netgear router. It can see the router as an available connection, but I still get an "unable to connect" error. A wired connection to the router works just fine, but I'm still unable to get the internal WiFi adapter to connect

My parents live in a retirement community that has free wifi. They are in a blind spot and need a rooftop antenna, which has been connected to a laptop. They want a wireless network in their house. Can I just plug the rooftop antenna into one antenna socket of a two antenna AP/Bridge/Repeater? If not, what should I do?

I have a wlc 5508 and I'd like to setup a network for visitors. They will connect to the WLAN, enter a password and then automatically get redirected to an external website. I understand the wlc 5508 supports this but I'm struggling to find out how to set this up I assume this can be done without having to customise webauth bundles?

I have a Dell Inspiron Laptop with Windows 7 and a PC with XP. The Laptop has Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN mini-card, i think it supports 802.11g. My PC has DLINK DWA 525 PCI WIRELESS card, this supports 802.11g and n. The wireless router is Belkin Surf Wireless Router (F7D2301zb).
Now, the problem i'm facing is when PC is connected first and later when laptop is connected, the computer gets disconnected. Laptop works fine. I have to restart the router to connect both.
Is it due to the difference in 802.11 G and N of Laptop and PC ?

I got a Studio 1535 Laptop which comes with a Broadcom WiFi card that is named "Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card" in the Hardware Manager.
I tried to connect to my ZyXel WiFi router but though i had it all configured right, Windows would always come up with "you entered the wrong key". After playin around for some time i figured out that everything just works fine when i switched my router from WPA-PSK to WPA2-PSK. My router features both WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK but since my other PC does only support WPA-PSK the router is set to that and i want it to stay that way. I just don't want to buy new hardware for all my other computers.
So is this WiFi card strictly incompatible with WPA-PSK? Does'nt make any sense to me because WPA2 works just fine! Normally they are downwards compatible aren't they? (Moreover, when setting up a connection i can choose WPA-PSK from the dropdown menu.

I´m trying to connect them to my WLAN, for throubleshoot I create a new WLAN with WPA2-TKIP and a PSK, the devices didin´t connect to the WLAN.I also change the security to WPA2-AES with TKIP, it didn´t work too.
My best choice was to disable every security configuration in order to began the throubleshooting from zero, but even with no Layer 2 and 3 security, the devices didn´t connect to my Test WLAN.
I´m using a AIR-CT2504-K9 WLC with two AIR-CAP3502I-A-K9 AP, all the PCs and other brand cellphones and tablets work well.
Also I have a SOHO router on the office, and the IPad connect without a problem with that WLAN, but I need them to connect to my Cisco AP.

My fiance recently signed up for the Screen-wise Panel for Google research. Basically they monitor your TV usage and your internet usage. As part of the program they installed a Cisco WIFI router. I've got no issue with them logging the sites visited etc but I'm a little worried about them possible collecting private information (banking / work related stuff) that I don't want going out there. According to what I've read what's supposed to happen is they replace your router with the new Cisco router.The "technician" who came in and installed the router was actually a builder and not an IT technician and rather than replace our router he connected the Cisco router into port 4 of our router... I wasn't in at the time.
What I was looking to do is separate Port 4 of my router into a separate VLAN that can access the internet, but not access anything on ports 1-3, or the wireless. However, I want to be able to see everything on port 4 from the other side (in other words I want to see "into" the port 4 VLAN, but don't want them to see out). I also wanted DHCP to assign IP addresses correctly depending on where you were plugged in. In this example the first VLAN (your current router ip address) is going to be on 192.168.1.1, and the second VLAN (the new on we create on port 4) is going to be on 192.168.2.1.This is exactly what I'm looking to do, I could then connect the kids machines / tablets / ipods to the Cisco router and have the main machine and my work laptop on the main router... but I don't have a clue how to do it. </quote> Is this something that I am able to do with the Netgear router I own and is it hard to set up?

I would like to setup a 2504 to have one Guest WLAN and one Staff WLAN with a controller port for each WLAN connected to different devices.
I would prefer to connect the WLC Guest port to an ASA 5510 and the WLC Staff port to an internal 2960S switch. Will this work? I haven't setup a 2500 series controller previously.

I have 2 PCs at home. Lets name one of them as PC 1 which has two onboard LAN Ports. Now, PC1 has to connect to PC 2, just a home network for easy transfer on files and stuff, and it also has to connect to the internet via a network. The problem is both of them use static ip and when I tried configuring PC 1, it allows only one of the connections to remain active. I simply get an error otherwise saying "Multiple Gateways" will cause conflict and I will be stuck with only one connection. After much study I "somehow" connected both. I vaguely remember using the "route" command in cmd to achieve this. But now, I am getting an error when I try to access PC 2. My Internet is working fine.I am not network savvy at all. run both these connections from PC 1. I should add that I can in no way modify/change/or do anything else to my internet network since it is out of my control. I can do anything, however, for my Home Lan with PC 2. I run windows 7. Both the connections are wired, by the way.

What I am looking to do is separate my lan traffic from my wan traffic. The amount of Lan traffic is slowing my Internet connection. The media server is the host of all my music and movies and photos and well just about everything, Some of the files are excessivly large and just kill the throughput for the other machines. I'm wondering if it's possible to put 2 NICS in each machine and have all file transfers on one subnet and all internet activities on another. I have heard it's possible to put multiple addies on a single nic but doesn't this defeat the purpose of thru put?
Network 1 - one line diagram
Internet
Cable modem
Router/wifi
Switch 1
6 PC's 1 Media/file/print server.
All pc's and wifi use this to access internet, and all outside connections like remote desktop.
Network 2 - one line diagram
Switch 2
6 PC's, 1 Media/file/print server.
All pc's use this to stream audio and video from the media server as well as print functions and file storage.I have most of the hardware already except the additional nics for each machine. so if it's not feasible I'll not waste the extra monies.

Me and my girl friend both work from home doing freelance work using the internet. The company we do freelance work for allows one agent per ip address and checks the ip address for multiple agents I guess.I only have one modem, router, and two computers, but I believe they are on the same ip address.Is there a way to have two different ip addresses so we wouldn't have any issues with our work here?

I have 2 wireless devices. The first is the modem itself and the wireless is setup on that with WPA and all that fun stuff. The second one is a wireless access point. I would like to have a WiFi that can access ONLY the internet. I don't want it to be able to access the local network at all. Is this possible?

I would like to set up two separate networks from one internet connection(modem), with the goal being to have a public network(Network A) that would have a small server on it, and then having a second secured network(Network B) that would have my personal computers on it. And both networks having connection to the internet. (The idea being that if the server somehow became compromised that my personal computers and their data would be safe)I have done some research and found that many people claim this can be done with just two or three routers, but none of them go into any detail about how to configure the routers. Below are the physical setups of the two options that I have come up with in my research, which if either would you recommend? And how would I configure each of the routers?
--------------
Modem/router 1 (Network A public)
--Internet-in WAN port
--port 1 to WAN of router 2-------------l
--port 2 server

i have computer A with 2 NICs.... NIC 1 has ip 192.168.x.x which has access to internet and NIC 2 10.0.x.x which as access to server files and other docs....i have computer B with ip 192.168.x.x but want to be able to access 10.0.x.x using computer A as a router is this possible and how do i go about doing that. i was thinking about bridging NIC 1 and NIC 2 adding static route on computer A and adding a second ip 10.0.x.x to computer B NIC (i know it is possible to add 2 ips on one NIC in windows) so i can have access to the file server...is what i mention possible

I have two subnets at my home and both run through my Cisco router. One is my private LAN with access to the Internet, ie your standard home network. The other is a semi-public network that I share with friends through an encrypted GRE tunnel system(DMVPN) over the Internet. I have a server on that semi-public network and I can access my friend's servers from my server, but not from my main PC on my private network.
Is there a way I can access both networks from only my main pc using two nic's?

how I can setup two separate networks on a Westell 327w modem/router. I know this question has been asked to death and I've utilized the search function, but I still don't know how to make this work. I have a computer that I plan on using for important business and my sibiling has my other computer that he uses for gaming and downloading stuff. His computer is connected wirelessly to the Westell 327w. My computer has no internet access at this point. I would like to have both connected wirelessly to the internet, but keep them completely separate and as secure as possible, as he downloads some questionable things.

How to get wireless to a separate location from the house.I have the virgin media home hub in the house and I have a cabin out the back roughly 20m away which I require wireless to run in...i need the wireless for a ps3, mac mini, mac-book, ipad and other little wireless gadgets.I have tried using the devolo dLan 200 AV wireless n starter kit with very limited success. short of actually running an Ethernet cable along the ground and using an Ethernet switch is there anything else i can do? or are there better products with a bigger/better range than the devolo that would do the job?

I have a Netgear media player that I need to keep separate from my LAN. I have a switch that's connected to WAN and from the switch to dir-655 and the Netgem box. So I have two IP:s and the Netgems traffic is not going through the router at all.Now I'm short of LAN ports and I bought an eight port switch. However I only have room for keeping two devices at the space they are at. So I need to get rid of the old switch and somehow manage the network(s) with dir-655 and the new switch.The way I see it, I should connect WAN to dir-655 and from there to the switch and connect the Netgem box to router. But how can I configure dir-655 so that the Netgem is not on LAN with other devices?

We have CISCO ASA 5505 in our office , right now port 0 has configured for outside and port 1 for inside (I believe it is the default configurations) now for security reason I want to separate the Network traffic from inside (office LAN) and WIFI , I believe since i have 6 ports in vlan1 (inside) if I make the port which has the connecting to our switch and the port which i m going to connect to my wireless router (same vlan1) protected / isolated then this should work , but here is what is happening , the minute I save the configurations port 3 which is supposed to be my wifi port will lose its connection to the Internet.
i tried to make another vlan for wifi to separate the trafic from vlan1 , but I m not getting internet connection on that port which is been assigned to new vlan for wifi.

I'm trying to separate my management traffic from regular traffic by splitting the management and "outside" interface to separate vlans but I'm hitting a routing issue. Say I have have a management network of 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 running across vlan 1 and I want to use 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 running across vlan 2 for the outside interface to send all the other traffic excluding the management traffic across. Tag both vlans on the external interface, say Eth0/0 Default route of route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.1, With this, you can not hit the management interface because there is no route defined for the 192.168.1.0 network. However of course if you try to set one, you'll get the "connected route exists" error. How can I set the default route or gateway of the 192.168.1.0 network on the ASA. Switches just don't complain like the ASA does.

Our VMware guys want to use shared networking infrastructure to create a DMZ on a network.
[ASA (subif;VLAN 4)] <-trunk-> [DMZ Switch] <-trunk-> [LAN Core Switch] <-trunk-> [ESX vSwitch] <-VLAN 4-> [VM]
The DMZ Switch does not participate in VTP with the LAN but will have a VLAN ID created (same VLAN ID used from VM to ASA) No vlan interface will be created for the vlan
Is this a bad idea from a security or otherwise point of view? i.e. Best practices that should be followed here? Should I configure the link between the LAN Core Switch and DMZ switch as access ports so the port on each switch is forced to be on one specific vlan? I was going to use allowed vlans command to limit the vlans that can pass on it and possibly vtp pruning for all vlans.

I have two separate network with their own internet access as shown below I want to keep all setting of the left network unchanged. I can change the IPs and setting of the right side network.I want to be able to access all devices of the two network from my computer but in the same time the two network work as usual with no problems ( the same when they are sperate).One option is to set the LAN of modem 2 to 192.168.2.2 and connect one of the LAN port to LAN port of the Mkrotik router. Set the WAN of my private home router as
IP: 192.168.2.100
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.2.2
Home router LAN: 192.168.3.1
Is their another method to connect the two network and keep the same setting for the network on the left side?

I'm having a problem viewing devices on my home network. To better explain I created this diagram of my Home Network below.I have a Cisco VPN Router and connected to that I have a Netgear WRN 1000v2 Router & Linksys WRT54G2v1 Router. I used to have my home network connected to only one router and I was able to see and connected to other devices. Now my networks are separated, I think it has something to do with subnet masking and the IP addresses on the routers.
