D-Link DGL-4500 Configuring Rock Solid Small Network Of Around 20 Wireless Devices
Sep 27, 2011
I have a single WRT54G v5 that has treated me very well over the years. I have too many devices right now and I'd like to throughput of N, but have failed to find one that is measurably faster or as stable than my current equipment. Most recently I tried a D-Link DGL-4500 and regardless of hours of configuration, research and support I was left with slower-than-expected speeds and dropped connectivity about once a day.
I want to be able to stream media to all 3 BoxeeBox's simultaneously while browsing the internet on a few of my devices and I don't want to have to reboot my router daily or even weekly.
So far I have come to a preliminary conclusion that a solid setup for me would be a ZyXEL ZyWALL USG20 and 2 to 3 Ubiquiti UniFi AP's. While the USG20 does intimidate me, I have several solid network admins that have told me they'll set up the network for me and walk me through it.

I'm trying to connect a PC to my wireless network but am having issues. Using both a trendnet wireless N PCI network card and a Linksys G510 wireless G PCI network card I have the same issue whereby the connection, an unprotected mixed (B,G,N but have tried only N on the trendnet) wifi, appears in the Windows 7 connection list but upon clicking "connect" I am told Windows was unable to connect to the network, and then the network dissapears. Later on, it will randomly appear and will stay as such until I try to connect.
I've tried using an Asus wireless N 150 USB adapter with the PC, the problem is different. I can connect to the network and the connection will appear fine in the taskbar, but trying to open a webpage either does not happen or is excruciatingly slow.

Recently in the morning the router will have lost ability to connect to internet <internet light is on> and I cannot access the router page <sys light solid> from either wired or wireless connections. Why is this and will it be solved if I upgrade firmware?

I would like to know the basic configurations for Win Server 2008 Standard for a small office (60 clients) The company has a Sales, HR, warehouse, and Accounting, and VPN for some sales, what configuration do you recommend me for each area? Right now my server has DHCP, DNS, and AD (do I need to install any other role?), Also what other configuration do I need in order to control my clients and users, and for security? how can I make the clients to save their files in my server? or make a copy of their files from their computers to my server? Any information for security? in my server or Router?
Like the tittle say, I just want to know all the configurations needed in a network for a small company.

I have a DIR-615 v e3 router
Did a bad dd-wrt flash and now all it does:
-no power light
-solid green lights: WAN-L1-L2-L3-L4
tried to go to recovery mode (power on while holding reset switch).....does not work.my search on the internet revealed, that after bad flash, power light still comes on, maybe as orange, maybe blinking, or just blinks once

Just upgraded my system. I am using D-Link 615 as access point hardwired LAN to LAN to ActiveTec MI424WR N capable Verizon Fios Wireless Modem/Router. The Fios Router is set up with WPA2 security. Intend on having three 615s as Access Points off of ActiveTec. Have a number of wireless devices accessing the network. Have followed instructions from manual to use 615 as Access Point, disabling UPnP and the DNCP Server function on the 615. My ActiveTec IP address is 192.168.1.1 and I changed the 615 to 192.168.1.50. I can type this IP address in my browser and get to the 615 set-up.
I have tried a couple different options in naming the SSID on the 615 set-up. If I name the SSID on the 615 the same as the ActiveTec router, when I go to Connect to a wireless signal where there is overlap, there are two signals that one can connect to, named the same SSID, the Fios is WPA2 secured and the 615 is not. Shouldn't these all be on one SSID? It seems that I have two different networks (different SSIDs) instead of one (rather than the 615 simply serving as an extension of the Fios router as a wired remote access point) with different security protocols (WPA2 and None). The SSID name almost seems meaningless. If I name the 615 SSID the same as the Fios router SSID or something different, I still have the option of selecting one SSID that is secure and one that isn't. If I try to connect to the SSID name associated with the 615 I can get on without providing a password.How do I make it so that one can walk around and go from one area to the next and seamlessly move to the best signal? I did read to select different sets of channels for each access point.

I am about to configure 4 Gig ports for EtherChannel. I've been reading about EtherChannel and it seems easy enough to configure. I have a host (server)which I am going to connect to these 4 - gig ports. This is new for me and would like some feedback for those that have used EtherChannel on their layer 2 switches. The gig ports will be an access port with VLAN XX.

I've not found any topic related to what happened to me. Bought two cameras and upgraded the firmware on both as asked, but one of them just stopped. The light is solid green and not red like other posts.Tried the recovery procedure, but the browser won't find my camera. Changed computer IP and everything else that was told to be done. Nothing works!! I also can't find any posts relaled to my problem all over the internet.

My onboard network adaptor card died so I bought a Rock USB lan Card RJ-45. It worked for 30 mins then just stopped working. When I look at the device driver details, it recognises it, and also says the drivers are up to date. When i try to connect to the modem for internet connection it says ....There might be a problem with the driver for the Local Area Connection 4 adaptor. A network cable is not properly plugged in or may be broken....Ichanged the cable, still same message, I went to the internet on another computer to download drivers but it still says drivers are up to date. My system is a hp p6380a home pc. Running windows 7 64 bit. Im thinking that it might be a faulty usb card but when I spoke to a guy at a computer shop he said that they are not compatible with 64bit computers. Ok then why did it work for 30 - 1hour.

We had a problem where a 4500 would not ping directly connected devices dispite being able to telnet to them and also view them in CDP. It was mostly forwarding packets between devices but some hosts could not connect to others.

I have a D-Link DGL-4500 router and my landlord recently ungraded our internet connection. However, now I get this error message when I try to hook it up to the ethernet hub,"The addressing of the Internet side learnt thru DHCP conflicts with the addressing selected for the LAN side. Internet communications will be disabled until you have changed the LAN side addressing to resolve the problem."

3 Computers 2 using vista - 1 using XP. Printer is a HP 2727nf. Will work for a couple of jobs then receives an error code and will not print anymore for any computer. Only a hard reset of turning the printer off and clearing out the queue will print the job that was getting stuck. Wondering if anything can be done so error code won't show up and we can get this printer to run smooth again. PS we have another HP printer that works fine on the network.

This is the configuration I am running:Internet > Cable Modem > Netgear WNDR3700 Router ~~ DAP-1522 > Wired Windows 7 PC + Linux PC + Printer.The Windows 7 and Linus PC's do communicate well to the internet as do any laptops accessing the router wirelessly and any devices wired to the router. That is the good news.
The bad news is that any devices located after the DAP-1522, including the DAP-1522 do not show up on the network map of either the router or any of the wireless laptops. Neither does the Win 7 PC connected through the DAP-1522 show any networked devices, whether through the DAP-1522 or not, even though network discovery is turned on.
Right now the DAP-1522 is set up to function as a bridge and is in "Static IP" mode. I tried changing it to DHCP, but the DAP-1522 will not allow saving that setting, even though it will allow changing it. It just reverts back to "Static IP". The firmware version is 1.31, and the firmware update went well after a workable logon to the admin page was discovered. Also the one-button (WPS) set-up to the router worked as far as allowing an internet connection.
What needs to change to allow all the devices to show up on the network maps and maintain internet access? Ultimately, I would like to stabilize the IP's of the major components of the network to make troubleshooting easier. But to do that the devices need to show up on the network maps, particularly of the router, so they can be added to the IP reservation table by selection.

I have a Linksys WAG120N Wireless-N ADSL2+ Modem Router. The firmware version is V1.00.12.I run a Windows machine attached to the router which has a certain sub network address. On that same machine I run a Virtual Machine with Linux which has its own address, 192.168.1.102. I've been noticing that whenever I shut down either machine and then turn them back on later, they acquire another address, which makes it annoying for me to make them communicate between each other (by, for example, trying to load a webpage hosted on the VM from the physical machine) without knowing the actual address, which, as I said earlier, seems to change every time.
I'd like to know if there's a way (with my router model) to configure it so that the sub network address of both machines remains the same, no matter whether or not they've been shut down and restarted.

I purchased a D-Link DGL-4500 to replace my aging WRT54G around a year ago, only to find it nowhere near as reliable. It's been collecting dust since.I'm wondering if there is a way to use it as a wireless bridge so I can connect it to my home network and then use it's ethernet ports to provide network access to several devices.

I currently have a D-Link DGL-4500.
I am looking for a more powerful wireless router that has a larger range. I want to have the ability to use the laptop at the house next door, so I need a range of like 150 ft, going through multiple walls (both concrete and wood) and still have enough for general Internet access.
My first question is if it's even possible and if so, what is a good router/system to use.
I would still need the ability to connect Ethernet to the router (at least 4 ports) and the wireless, obviously.
A major benefit as well would be the ability to install something like pfSense or DD-WRT onto for further management.

I'm setting up a wireless network for a small office with 25 people with approx. 15 on wireless at any time. The office is very long and skinny so I'm looking at a cluster of WAP321's. I'm hoping these will save a ton of money versus buying a controller and more expensive access points.
How do these work for roaming? I tried a search but I've found descriptions of them not roaming at all and descriptions of them roaming but you have to do some kind of pre-authorization right up to they roam with no user interaction, they just roam.
I need the users to be able to roam around the office with no interruption. I don't want to install these and have to rip them out later and put in new ones and a controller. How to find out if the WAP321's will work for roaming.

Recently we had a situation where our users were unplugging one of our un-mounted 1252 LAPs. They would do this so they could borrow the wire to direct connect any one of their devices not realizing they were disconnecting a wireless access point. After discovering that the AP was unplugged once again, our admin plugged the AP back to the network but noticed that it no longer would connect to the controller. We can no longer console into the AP but can console into all other APs we have. All 3 lights are now green. Radio and Ethernet are solid and Status is blinking. I found the Cisco doc explaining the meaning of the front panel lights but have not found this particular configuration. What these lights mean and why not being able to use the console port?

I have TV set box connected to modem router supplied by ISP provider. To the same router I connected EA 4500 to which I wired connected Network Hard Disc at which I store music, photos and films, which I can not access via TV set box. If I connect Hard Disc direct to the modem router to which set box is connected, access works fine.
Whar shall I do to establish accesability of Network Hard Disc over all network ?

We have a root AP whose status light is showing solid red. We power cycled it and it still shows solid red. According to the Cisco documentation, this indicates a firmware failure. Unfortunately, we did not get Smartnet with this access points and instead opted for the limited lifetime warranty.
My question is: is there any way to fix the firmware via console? Whether it be through xmodem or what not. I ran debugs on the controller and can confirm that the AP is not communcating with the controller.
It is also weird that the mesh APs that were previously connected to this root AP show a solid red on their status lights and green for their RF LEDs. Shouldn't the status LED be flashing green-amber-red?

I'm not sure why the guest net work is unsecured. I would have thought that would not be an option but it is unsecured. How to secure the guest network [2.4 GHz]? Also when I view the guest list some devices stay displayed whether they are in the vicinity or even turned off. That adds to my paranoia with the guest network being unsecured. I also can't edit the screen names to know who the device belongs to like is available in "my devices", forcing me to keep a MAC address list.

I have a Linksys WRT54g router that works fine, but the signal is not very good on some points of the house.So I bought a TP-Link 740n to use as a second router. My idea is to connect both routers with a 10 meters lan cable that I have, to make the signal better on points that are distant from the main router (Linksys) or separated by walls. When job is done, will I see two different networks (one for each router) on my laptop or only the "original" signal (WRT54g)?

I'm involved in setting up a new office for a business that's just starting out. I have some computer experience but not a whole lot in networking and security. We just have 3 people that will be working in the office and we need a way to store/backup/share files on the network as well as a way to access them remotely if need be. Our internet service is going to be providing us with a static IP. I was thinking that we could use an NAS with RAID 1 attached to the router, which is in turn connected to the cable modem, but I'm not sure if this is secure. Do we need some type of hardware firewall in between the cable modem and the router to protect us from the outside?

My wired devices can see my wireless devices, and my wireless devices can see my wired devices, but my wireless devices can't see other wireless devices. And by "see", I'm talking about various media servers, like TVersity, PlayOn and Windows Media Center, and by devices, I have two wireless computers, an Xbox, and a DAP-1522 bridge, among others.Is this how the DIR-825 works, or am I missing a setting to allow the wireless devices to see and communicate with each other? Specifically, I'm trying to connect my wireless N Xbox 360 with a wireless N Win 7 Home Pro laptop.

I've been looking into posibilities for extending a DMVPN (already implemented) with very small (1-2 user) remote locations over a single ISP link.I would like to use what is basically the smallest Cisco router that supports DMVPN and EIGRP (stub) - here's a sample configuration:I know that the 881 can accomplish the above without issues (if it has Adv IP Services as licensing).I would like to know if I can use the smaller routers (physically smaller, that is) for a similar configuration. Can the Cisco 819 router.URL provide the same functionality? What about the Cisco 866VAE router URl.

I just took a position and never had to work with networks that much before. Our lan is very slow and trying to figure out why. We have verizon business class 3 t1 lines dedicated 4 M. When I do a speed test we get about 4.05 average and 4.23 down. We have 11 computers on the network connected to a Dell power connect 2716. We have Two network printers and that is it. We are having problems with it being very slow when connecting to a share on the server or using RDP.
