I have a wrt54g router and would like to separate the WLAN clients from accessing computers and servers on the LAN... in other words I would like to make it a "guest" network. I've put the router in "router" mode instead of "gateway". I just want to be sure if that is the best thing I can do in terms of turning the wireless network into an isolated one.

Is there a way to get a list of the DHCP clients on the guest network? I'm able to do this for the non-guest access via the WEB interface's Status->Local Network->DHCP Clients Table page. But I can't find a similar table for the guest network.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried to extend the Range of the Guest WLAN of the E2000 with several different Access Points vom TP-Link. (Last try: TL-WA901D) The Access Point recognises the WLAN and sometimes it has a connection for a short time. But then the whole WLAN is breaking down, sometimes the Router E200 hangs up, also with the LAN connections. The E200 is connected to a sky-DSL Router and works fine when no additional access point is connected. In the web-Interface of the E2000 I cant setup any specific Guest-WLAN settings.

Tried above settings, with DHCP enabled for the new guest subnet. Using normal Gateway mode (i.e. re-NATting). Wireless guests can access the Internet, but also 192.168.0.x machines.Also tried, as suggested on several docs, disconnecting the WRT from the main network, resetting to factory defaults and setting up router from scratch, with the same result. It seems reasonable that, by default, things are set up in such a way that the new subnet can share resources with the existing one; however, I need the contrary and can't seem to get it right.BTW, as soon as I enter the static IP and default gateway for the WAN interface I see new default entries appearing on the static route table (Adv Routing / Show Table) for 10.x.x.x to 192.168.0.x routing. I suppose that this is necessary for the router itself, as a member of both, to be able to perform NAT and gateway through the upper tier -- since I can't seem to delete these entries manually, anyway.Considered using Router mode, but if I understand correctly, that would disable NAT, which seems (to me) inconsistent with the "separate subnet" requirement, since the main router would need to NAT guests as well as employee PCs (which would imply using one subnet for both, right?). Considered adding a firewall rule at the WRT, but the firmware does not seem to offer a suitable feature. There are "Filters", but those aim at restricting Internet access (which I want to allow), or to a certain range of ports, or even search keywords -- but not to a range of *hosts*.Tried filtering out guest-to-LAN traffic at the main router, but this proved nontrivial to get working (probably due to NAT-within-NAT which, other than that, works fine). It sounds a bit silly, anyway, I mean, why route this kind of traffic only to filter it out later on? I'd rather not route it at all in the first place. Can that be avoided? How?
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 would like to put an E2000 in an office where clients are coming and going throughout the day. When the documentation says that there is a maximum of 10 guest network users allowed (with a default setting of 5) what exactly does that mean ? I don't want the first 10 guest-clients who come in, connect to the guest network, then leave the office to consume all 10 slots for the day.If I have 50 people that come and go from the office throughout the day who connect to the guest 192.168.33.X network and attempt to enter the password (but no more than 10 guests authenticated at any given time) will all 50 be successful in connecting ? Or do I have to reduce the Client Lease Time to something less than the default setting of one day ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am playing around with a WS-C2950-24 running IOS 12.1(22)EA13. I would like to separate guest clients from domain clients on the network (for a start) so that guest clients only get access to internet and i have created three vlans for this purpose. Vlan 10 - internet, vlan 20 - internal, vlan 40 - guest. I have also set up a trunk link on the internal network.since the 2950 does not offer routing capabilities i assume i need to to the routing between these networks on another box. I am planing to do this on a linux machine. I have set up the same vlans on the linux box.
My question is how do I configure the cisco correctly so i can reach all the networks on the linux box. The cable that runs between the cisco and the linux box is connected to vlan 20 - internal and is defined as a trunk port allowing all vlans ( switchport trunk allowed vlan all ) with vlan 20 as native.it looks like only vlan 20 is using the cable that reaches the linux machine. 2950 ----- unmanaged switch (not replaced yet) ---servers
I have the wireless guest network up and running just fine. But, I need to also connect to the router's quest network via one of the ethernet ports. Can I just give the LAN-conencted PC a 192.168.3.x static IP to access the guest network? I am assuming there is no VLAN functionality...
And even better, can I set up a DHCP relationship to that port? So that any device plugged into the port will get a IP on that subnet?
Is there a way to get rid of the guest network on a E1000 or is it part of the setup.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am experiencing one, possibly two problems with the X3000, firmware release v1.0.03:
1. When enabling guest mode, the internal network is not accessible via WLAN even for clients NOT connected via guest mode but regularly: Even non-guests but regularly connected clients can't access any internal IP but the router itself. netscan shows only the very client's IP and the router's. Only after switching guest mode entirely off, regularly connected clients can access interal IP again. netscan correctly shows the whole network. Obviously a firmware bug. BTW: Clients connected via cable do not experience this problems.
2. I am not sure about this, but after using the firmware built in "Reboot" button, the router reboots correctly. But for some reason, it is instable afterwards. It is operational for a few seconds but then reboots again. It keeps cycling. I could stop it by switching the router off and on again.
I cannot get the Guest Network feature to work.Even though Guest SSID is enabled, it does not show up on any devices attempting to connect. Manually connecting by entering the Guest SSID fails (not recognized). On devices with the primary 5 and 2.4 GHz configured they do see the third network but without SSID (unknown) and are also unable to connect to it manually using the SSID.I did not try this before 1.0.02. Have rebooted modem and verified all configs (multiple times). The network is live in an office and can't keep screwing with it or drastically changing its settings.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running a guest network on my E4200V2. I have changed my DNS servers on the router to use OpenDNS for traffic filtering. The filtering on my non-guest networks is working fine; the OpenDNS test sites are blocked. However, when I use the guest network, the OpenDNS test sites are not blocked. There's obviously nowhere that I can change the DNS settings for the guest network.
I know that parental filtering in the router applies to the guest network, however, it seems that the DNS servers for the non-guest networks don't apply to the guest network. Is this true? Have others seen this?If so, that's pretty disappointing. OpenDNS filtering is much more powerful than the 8-URL blacklist I can create in the router admin. If I want to filter sites for my kids, having a guest network that is essentially wide-open (except for 8 URLs) is not an ideal situation.
Our router is connected to my moms work computer. So on our main family computer we have a NET GEAR WG111v1 wireless adapter. When I do a scan for avaliable networks only the guest network is found. Our ipods can find the main secured connection but not the computer.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a Linksys E2500 router. Is it possible to have one network name for the secured network and a different network name for the Guest network? The thought is to not have the SSID of the secured network broadcast while allowing the SSID of the Guest network to be broadcast. With the convention of simply adding "Guest" to the end of the SSID for the secured network, it defeats the security option of not having the SSID of the secured network broadcast.

I've got two EA4500 routers connected via Ethernet. The primary router has DHCP enabled and the secondary has it disabled. IP address of primary is 192.168.1.1 and the secondary is 192.168.1.2.
I have set up guest access on both routers however only the primary router allows users to connect. When out of range of the primary router but in range of the secondary router the network is visible but when you try to connect to it, it only gives limited or no connectivity message and can't connect to the internet.
Is it possible for the guest network access to follow the same pattern as the secure network, i.e. the same network throughout the house?
