Do I Need Repeaters Instead Of Second Switch
Jul 25, 2012
I have radio link where i work. Connections have been made to other pcs with an 8 port switch. from that switch i have extended another wire which is nearly 90 mts. that connection iss again connected to several pcs and working fine. But i have again extended another wire of about 90 mts from the 2nd switch. All other connections are working fine on the second switch but there is no light on the switch for the extended one.. Where have i gone wrong? Do i need to place repeaters instead of the second switch??

Can I connect 2 or more wireless repeaters to the same wireless base station signal to extend wireless coverage? I.e. The base station is located in the centre of the building and the signal covers the middle but not the extreme end of the building. I would like to add a repeater on each opposite sides of the signal's reach so it covers the complete building. I can't use LAN cable and the building has different electricity supply to the 3 different part of the building so can't use the mains to carry the signal. Is this possible using wirless repeaters or do I have to use wireless bridge units to connect to the base station and then output with wireless access points attached to the bridge unit to extend the wirless signal?

I need to setup wireless acces at the warehouse at my work. I have 3 D-Link DWL-2100AP's. 1 is connected to a switch and working properly as an access point. I was able to get another working as a repeater (WLAN light on) but cannot get the 3rd working as a repeater. I configured both repeaters the same way but with different ip addresses. (AP- .10, Repeater1 - .11 and Repeater2 - .12).
I guess the main thing I'm not understanding is how the 2nd repeater connects to the first repeater. Is it supposed to connect to the 1st repeaters MAC or to the AP's MAC? If I unplug the AP, the 2nd repeater won't pick up the 1st repeaters MAC. Both repeaters were connected to the AP. basically Switch -> AP -> Repeater -> Repeater.

I'm currently contemplating on purchasing a 2nd WRT54G router with dd-wrt as a 2nd wireless repeater in the house. Just wondering if this would be possible. Current setup is Main router (D-Link DIR-615) on 3rd floor > WRT54G as wireless repeater on 2nd floor. I don't mind the loss of connection speed since the main purpose is to increase coverage to the 1st floor.

I have an old metal-walled mobile home that I plan on converting to a combination shop and man-cave; it's about 200 feet from my home's computer room, where I have a Netgear WNDR3400 wireless-n router. The only place in the trailer where I can "see" my home network is the kitchen window, and I thought about putting a Wi-Fi repeater there to extend the home network into the trailer. But I have read that using a repeater will cut the network's Wi-Fi throughput in half -- which would not please my wife and daughters back at the house. Is there a simple, relatively inexpensive way to extend the network to the trailer without slowing everything down? Eventually I may have Charter install a separate cable hookup there, which would allow a separate high-speed Internet connection too. For now, I just want to "share" Wi-Fi to the trailer.

We have 4x WAP4410N access points 1 AP & 3 Repeaters, this works perfect. The situation at the moment is that the internet connection is plugged in with a cable on the AP but the question is that if it's possible to plug the internet connection into one of the repeaters?
After that are we still able to use the internet over al four access points?

Here's the current configuration in our organization (which I believe is incorrect):We have a number of Cisco 1500 series AP's (22 in total), that are mounted outdoors to provide seamless WiFi coverage over a large area. Each AP however has its own physical ethernet connection back to the WLC (All the AP's are marked as Root AP's). They are all broadcasting the same SSID. We have tried to stagger the channel selection but because there are only three non-overlapping channels to choose from, and in some areas the density of AP's is quite high, there is multiple places of channel interference. With this configuration we experience 100-150 disconnects from clients every day. (Our clients are mobile so they move throughout the coverage area constantly).
My idea is to switch the AP's to the same channel thereby forming a wireless mesh, use the built in functionality of the 1500 series to use 802.11a as the backhaul, designate one or two AP's as root AP's and wire them back to the WLC. Thereby forming a WiFi mesh, which if I'm not mistaken is the point of the 1500 series in the first place!
I am however completely new at WiFi networks and wondering if I am simply mistaken in what I believe my proposed changes will enable, or if there is a better way to tackle the WiFi topology.

I have two 3750-X configured to be a stack and I am planning to re-rack these somewhere else. What I would like to know is what are the effects of having the master switch itself lose power? Does it immediately just make the member take over master (there should be no election since there are only 2 switches??) and there would be no loss of connectivity?

I have a 2 cisco switches that are at different sites one is a Cisco CAT4500 and other 3560. The connection between the switches is a layer 2 fibre link. CAT4500 and 3560 both have VLAN interface ip addresses in order for me to connect to the switches.
I have PC A connected to CAT4500 and PC B connecting to 3560. All these devices are the same VLAN and in the same subnet. I do have trunk links all the way though allowing this vlan as we run vlans. From PC A, I can ping CAT4500, 3560 and even PC B. This tells me everything is fine regarding Layer 2 & 3.
As soon as I move PC B and connect it to the other switch CAT4500 or move the other PC vice versa (this happens in both directions). Both switches learn that the mac address has moved locations and updates its mac address table accordingly. So when I do a show mac address table and show arp, everything has learned and moved fine. However when I try to ping any other device from PC B I cannot. So the 3560 switch PC B was originally connected to, I can no longer ping, the switch cannot see the pc also. It is as if PC B has not learned anything from the switch and cannot respond or reply to any icmp. I have tried this with different end devices, same thing. I am now thinking it has something to do with the switch.

In my office there is a small network with 5 PCs. A long time ago one network engineer had connected 5 PCs to 8 port switch via IO box. Now two IO box connectors are not working. The IO box he set, now not available. The available IO box connectors do not match the color code with the old one. In which positions those 8 wires of the CAT5 cable will be punched into the IO box connector? understand the color code of IO box connector to get network connection.The CAT5 Cable color code in RJ45 jack, attached to switch, is as below :
Pin 1 : White/Orange
Pin 2 : Orange
Pin 3 : White/Green
Pin 4 : Blue
Pin 5 : White/Blue
Pin 6 : Green
Pin 7 : White Brown
Pin 8 : Brown
Which wire will be connected to which pin of IO box connector? I saw different positions of color codes in different IO box connectors.

I have this ARRIS router from Comcast that actually blocks some ports, so I can't use certain programs. I noticed this cause when I played this game, Ragnarok Online, I googled that it needs to open certain ports for me to login. Another would be my CoD, where I need to open some ports to join certain games.
Then I told my roommate that we need more LAN ports for our xbox, ps3 and TV. So we used this old router as a switch. At first, we used 1 of 4 LAN ports of the ARRIS Comcast router to the "Internet" port of the old router, so we thought we would have 4 more LAN ports provided by the old router. First day, it actually worked, and I was surprised that some sites aren't blocked, and I can login to Ragnarok Online. After some time, it stopped working, so I googled it then it says I have to Disable DHCP, use an IP address that's not used by the ARRIS router, then plug in the cable to 1 of the 4 LAN ports of the old router, not the "Internet" port. I did, then it worked again.
It did work as a switch, but how come it worked before where no sites/ports are blocked?To sum it all up, is there a way to make the switch (old router) work when I plugged the cable on the "Internet" port?

I'm the sole IT worker at this company and I specialize in everything but big, corporate networking so here's a dumb question. How do I determine the IP address of one of our two switches? I need a list of MAC addresses of connected devices so I can relabel all the cables that were mislabeled (and this is a managed switch). For the other switch, which was put in by someone who knew what they were doing, you just type ss3900 into a browser and tada, 3com Superstack 3900 login so apparently someone did some fancy DNS stuff or whatever.
For this HP Procurve, the idiot before me who got fired for completely screwing up everything didn't leave any documentation or labeling and didn't use the same IP address as the Cisco switch that was pulled out. Obviously the switch is invisible to my PC from an IP standpoint

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?

I'm on my way of taking the CCNA Exploration, and even though I haven't got to the LAN Switching and Wireless course, one question does bug me. In your average LAN, does your average switch has an ip address, or is it a 'dumb' device like a repeater ? Is the same true for layer 2 switches and layer 3 switches or is there a difference in terms of IP addressing ? Can you even assign an IP address to a switch ? Would you want to do that and why ?
