I have a brand new DIR-655 Rev B, Firmware 2.0NA.I just realized that none of my Apple device can discover each other using Bonjour, which is very essential for local connectivity for gaming and remote control and iTunes music streaming.
View 11 RepliesA customer of ours has the following access points and wireless lan controllers on site. They want to use the Apple Bonjour service with Apple TV's and iPads. I have enabled multicast feature of the 5508 globally and one the SSID.The Apple TV has an ethernet connection and the iPads connect over the wifi. The Apple tv is on the same subnet as the iPad's - the Bonjour features do work for approx 5/10 minutes then it stops working for some reason. The Access Points plug into a Cisco 2960 Layer 2 switch, the 5508 controllers plug are in LAG mode and plug into a Nortel Layer 3 stack which I have enabled IGMP snooping.I've read that the Apple Bonjour service isnt designed to work on a multi subnet network - but both the Apple TV and iPad are connected on the same subnet. Sounds like some kind of timeout but not too sure.

I've spent hours trying to get my iPad to print to a wireless printer (HP D110a). I can print and scan from several wireless PC's on the same network but cannot see the HP printer. I started with the WEP 128-bit and then switched to WPA for a while but no luck so I switched back to WEP. I've read that other's have had similar problems with this and other Linksys routers.
From the iPad point of view I have iOS version 4.3.3. When I try to Airprint, for example through the Safari web browser, I see no printers available. I've tried many apps all with the same problem.
I am trying to use the apple finder/application to view all my apple mac-mini computers. I do have two asdm-5505 connected via a vpn tunnel.At this point I can view only the computers on the local subnets. I called AppleCare and they gave some possible ports that can be opened in the firewall to allow the Bonjour protocol to pass through the ASDM:ports 5297/tcp, 5298/tcp-udp, 5353/udp, and 5354/tcp.Bonjour is the equivalent of Microsoft Netbeui used in Windows to browse the local subnet computers using Network Place desktop icon.

I've upgraded to 7.4. I've enabled IGMP snooping, increased the time out, decreased the query/hello interval, went into Controller> menu and set AP Multicast Mode to Multicast with the Bonjour multicast range of 224.0.0.251.
Went into my WLAN and enabled Multicast VLAN Feature, and enabled my Multicast Interface as the same VLAN as the WLAN range.
The Lantronix Bonjour device is on the same VLAN as the WLAN (13). Accessing the Lantronix device shows it polling printers on our wired VLAN. However, no iDevice that joins the WLAN/SSID can find these printers.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a iMac with 2 AppleTVs all connected to a D-Link DIR-655. I used to run iTunes on Windows 7 and everything worked fine (before I got the iMac). Here's the problem - since moving over to the Mac, when the AppleTVs are wire connected to the network, the iTunes library on the iMac will not show up in the AppleTVs. The AppleTVs work fine otherwise (they can both connect to the Internet with no problem). I also cannot see the iMac's iTunes library or the AppleTVs in the iPad's remote app. When I then disconnect the ethernet wire from the AppleTVs (so they hook up wirelessly to the DIR-655), it works fine (iTunes library on the AppleTVs, and everything is showing up in the iPad remote application). After the wireless connection is established, if I plug the ethernet wire back into the AppleTVs (to take them off wireless and force them back onto the network wired), it works fine as well, until I reboot the iMac, then back to square one with the same problem.
As mentioned, it works fine with the Windows 7 PC, but if the iMac is turned on on the same network router, same problem with the Windows 7 PC (library will not show up in the AppleTVs). As soon as I turn off the iMac, the Windows 7 iTunes libraries show up in the AppleTVs (no need to wirelessly connect). There's clearly some conflict being created with the iMac with the DIR-655 that's causing this. I've tried enabling Multicasting and port forwarding TCP 3689, and this didn't fix it either.
recently purchased the Wireless N D-Link Router DIR-615. After a few hiccups the router works with all of our computers, blackberry's, wireless printer and Ipod touch's however my Apple TV 1G will not connect to the network. The Apple TV will just give the error code -6 after the password for the network has been entered. I double checked that the password for the router is only WEP 10 hex digits and that it is correct have tried reseting the Apple TV to the factory settings and using the DHCP Reservation in the network settings of the router and manually configuring the TC/IP settings on the Apple TV (Not quite sure what I am doing with this though so put everything back). I have also tried switching the 802.11

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a small network of about 12 Mac's running OS X, about 20 or so iOS devices and a OS X Server. Currently i have a Cisco SRP547W which works fine when we're all wired in, however we have connection issues when trying to access the server over Wi-Fi. I'm lead to believe that this could be a result of the lack of support for Bonjour within the router. What might be a solid alternative?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased the dir-655 router, and am impressed by it's speed. I had no problems configuring the router to my liking, and have found that all of my wireless devices communicate with it flawlessly.
However, my main reason for purchasing this router was for the USB port. I had hoped to connect my 2TB external drive and have it accessible by all wireless devices in my home. To my understanding, the USB port relies on the use of the Shareport Utility. I've installed the Shareport Utility to my laptop for wireless access to my media files for streaming.
Here's my problem. How can I access my media on my external HDD connected to the dir-655 with Apple TV2? I've read several options for PS3 users... and they all seem to involve leaving the pc/laptop running. I would ultimately like to bypass the necessity of leaving my laptop on... but if that's not a possibility, I can live with it being left on.
Therefore, is it possible to access the external drive connected to the dir-655 with my Apple TV 2 by using the laptop as a bridge? Can I access the content via Apple TV by using Windows SMB just as I currently do to access media stored on my laptop?
To summarize, I want to have access to the media on my external drive connected to the dir-655 via Apple TV2.
I received Apple TV and a Kobo E-Reader over the holidays, and when I try to connect them to my wireless network, they fail in connecting; even with entering the correct password. Is there something that I need to do in terms of updating, being it should connect having the correct password.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an E2000 router that has an intermittent issue where Bonjour drops out. Suddenly my Apple TV won't see my computers, and my iPad won't see my network printer. This happens whether the Apple TV and computers are connected via wired or wireless interfaces.
Restarting the devices does not solve the issue.
Restarting the router solves the issue (until it happens again...)
My router is version 1.0, with 1.0.04 firmware.
I read an earlier posting about an issue between SPI on the latest WRT610N Version 1.0 firmware and a user's Apple TV. This pointed me to a "solution" to a perplexing problem I was having.
I have 4 machines, 3 connected via WiFi and 1 on one of the wired ethernet ports. I also have 2 Apple Airport Express units for audio streaming as well as 2 iPhones connected wirelessly.
Now for the symptoms, which are all new since updating to firmware ver.1.00.03.15:
1. The WiFi machines see the Airport Express units and can stream audio to them. However, the iPhone Remote app has trouble staying connected to iTunes running on any of these machines. A router reboot is a temporary fix, but connection is eventually lost again.
2. The wired machine cannot see the Airport Express units, nor can the Remote app pair with iTunes on that machine. It's as though no Bonjour-related functions work. Here, a router reboot also provides a temporary fix, but one that lasts only minutes.
Based on that prior post, I disabled SPI on the router and, lo and behold, the wired machine suddenly sees all Airport Express units and can pair with the iPhone Remote app!
I was going crazy, verifying that I was not having Windows Firewall issues, that there wasn't an incompatibility with Windows 7 (which I'm running on all), that this wasn't a Homegroup incompatibility of some sort, that Bonjour was up to date, etc. Only turning off SPI fixed the problem entirely.
So, Linksys ...Any firmware bug fix in the works for this? Can I safely go back to the prior firmware update without security or function concerns? If so, where can I get my hands on the older firmware file?
WRT610N Version 1.0 running 1.00.03.15
About six months ago I replaced my old router (some generic 802.11b/g router I got for free with a rebate years ago and which lasted a few years) with a Dir-601 after the old router started intermittently cutting out. Setup of the Dir-601 was straightforward enough and I have WEP enabled. Both my Macbook and my wife's Macbook can connect fine if we choose the router from the drop-down wireless network list, and the router has been consistently reliable in maintaining a connection as long as the OS is running.
HOWEVER, neither computer will remember the wi-fi network and won't auto-connect when waking up from sleep or after a restart. Our iPhone and Android smartphones remember the network just fine and auto-connect every time, zero issues. I've gone through all the typical Mac troubleshooting steps, deleting saved network connections and re-establishing new ones. Never solves the problem. We always have to go to the wireless network menu and manually select the wifi connection to connect to.
It's not the Macbooks. Firstly, both macbooks have the same issue, and they're each running different MacOS versions, so there's no version-specific issue that can be at play here. Secondly, neither macbook had this issue with any previous wifi router. Thirdly, anywhere else we take our macbooks where we've set up a wifi connection, they remember it and auto-connect without us having to manually select the network. The only network where we have to manually select the network every time is the one set up with the Dir-601. In fact, we're at my inlaws for the holidays and our Macbooks have been auto-connecting to their router each and every time.Is there a setting I'm not seeing on the Dir-601 admin page?
After some time of usage (typically days), I notice that Bonjour networking degrades. That is, the various Apple computers on my network can no longer see each other via Apple's Bonjour protocol. They can still connect directly using IP addresses however. The only solution seems to be a reset of the router. Are there some detailed logs I can look into to determine what the problem may be? The logs shown in the web interface don't seem detailed enough.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am having issues figuring out how i can make AppleTV,Airprint, Airplay, etc show up on Ipads that are connected to the wireless network. The controller is at a main site which is seperated by 2800 series routers at the remote sites over 100Mbs links. Ipads connect and tunnell back to the main site. I've tried enabling FlexConnect but the devices still get the main site's addressing so i'm guessing they are still tunneling unless the AP loses connectivity to the controller. I have two SSIDs (staff and students). I have tested with just setting the staff to FlexConnect. Do I need to set both SSIDs to FlexConnect to make them dump data locally? AppleTVs are connected wired to the local networks and get addressing associated with that building.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHave 7.4 installed and configured for Bonjour Snooping. All is working, but working too well. We have a large campus that house 2 schools and each school is complaining that they can see the other schools Apple TV devices.
I have played around with a few different scenarios to see if I can localize the bonjour traffic. I guess I am looking to create a logical split for bonjour devices among the schools. Apple came to the school and informed us that the I PAD has a limit of 64 devices that can be seen via the bonjour. At some point we will have over 100 Apple TV added.
so we have 3 wlc 5508's with 7.4.100. we have 2 SSIDs that span the whole campus using AP groups to segment the floors in buildings. So the schools are logically split with AP groups.
Here is what I have tried, I created few mDNS profiles and assigned the services for Apple TV - let's call them school1 and school2. I assign the mDNS profiles to the interfaces dedicated each school. Enable snooping on the W LAN with profile of none. The end result is that devices from both schools can be seen.
I tried to create new ssid for apple TVs and a new ssid for 1 schools teachers. I followed the v lan select example [URL]. End result is that devices from both schools can be seen. I have tried the mDNS without multicast enabled just like the video shows to no avail - I assume maybe my AP groups might be more complicated then the example of just 2 v lans. [URL].
I have tried combinations of things, but I must be missing something . In the webinar, Cisco said it will use filtering to restrict which clients can see which services (Apple TV's, etc). What will Cisco use to filter Bonjour requests? According to this article
[URL].
The filtering options are: · Per W LAN/SSID · Per V LAN or AP Group · Per Interface Group (which is a group of V LANs pooled together). A Bonjour service policy can be created and applied on any one of the above criteria. In the future, we will support per-user Bonjour service policies which will come as a RADIUS attribute from the AAA server. Read more: [URL].
I just purchased an Apple TV 2 and am trying to use it with Airplay at my business. We have a WLC526 controller and three 521 access points.
We have a guest VLAN on our network which spans both the wired and wireless networks. The guest VLAN is VLAN # 100 and the numbering is 172.16.1.0/24. On this network, 172.16.1.1 is an interface on our ASA which clients on the guest VLAN use as a default gateway. On the wireless side, there is an SSID configured in the controller called LPGA-Guest which is bound to VLAN # 100. Clients that connect to this VLAN get addresses in 172.16.1.0/24 and can access the Internet through the ASA without any trouble. This has all been set up and working for quite some time.
What I have done is attached both the Apple TV and an iPhone 5 to the LPGA-Guest wireless network. I verified that they both have IP addresses in the same subnet, but when I try to bring up a list of airplay devices on the iPhone, nothing shows up. From what I gather, this is because multicast traffic is not being handled properly.
The following two threads have some info that I was looking at:

View 9 Replies View RelatedI got an Apple TV a few weeks back and we've been using it a lot, especially to stream Netflix. However, another application that I got it for was for streaming iPhoto slideshows and iMovie stuff to the Apple TV with Airplay's screen sharing. This event scenario has played out several times..... Screen sharing is up and going and it'll be working great. All of a sudden the TV will go back to the main Apple TV menu on its own. Upon further review at this point, NONE of my WiFi (iPhone, iPad, etc.) devices will connect to the network and I have to power cycle the router. Router lights are on, but no one's home. At this point, it'll boot back up and then everything will be fine, at least for a while.Tonight, I was showing vacation pictures to some family and this same process happened twice. Since I can't seem to figure out how to stop playing a slideshow in iPhoto and then start it again in the middle, it's very annoying. Here are some relevant troubleshooting points to consider:
1. This network problem (or something similar to it) has happened in the past, but whatever it is, streaming a slideshow really seems to aggravate it. This seems to be the only scenario that I can do to actually INDUCE the issue. Periods of long uploads or downloads are fine. Streaming audio from one device and similar usage seems to be fine, but this scenario fails pretty much every time, and not necessarily right away.
2. After having this issue tonight multiple times, I stopped trying to stream an actual iPhoto slideshow and just went into the album and scrolled through the pics one by one. I did this for at least an hour with no issue. But with an actual slideshow, it failed twice in 30 minutes or less. And it's happened before tonight as well.
3. It doesn't appear to make a difference what application I'm streaming from on the Mac. Whether it's iPhoto, iMovie, or even Facetime.

I've got a fair amount of devices in my home that use WiFi, but there was nothing irregular going on in the house to generate an excessive amount of internal network traffic or anything like that. My gut says the problem is with the router, but it's only a few months old, and I've updated the firmware to no avail.
I am considering upgrading our 5508 WLCs to version 7.4.1 to take advantage of the Bonjour gateway. What I want to do is allow clients on our guest wireless network to access things like the Apple TV in our conference rooms. My intention would be to have the Apple TVs on a separate vlan. Obviously, the Bonjour gateway would allow for access between these 2 networks. The question I have is this. If I have client isolation turned on my guest wireless network, is it still possible for these devices to access Apple TVs on another network?
