I have been charged by our technician to find a 5-8 port gigabit switch with a wireless option built in. This will be part of a build out that he is doing that includes a
I was told if he had to have a router to be sure that he can turn off the routing abilties. As I peruse through the definitions of various wireless routers with additional ports I don't see this option spelled out.
Have a 400N wireless router that has been working fine with several wireless devices on a small home network for about a year. Nothing has been changed but suddenly all of the wireless wireless devices dropped offline and none see the network signal in their search to reconnect. All of the indicator lights on the router look good and I have unplugged power and reconnected first the cable modem and then the router but still no signal. Logging into the router seems to show that it is working OK but there is apparently no air signal for the client devices to detect so only the wired devices are showing up. It's as if everything is working except the antenna function. Are there any suggestions short of uninstalling and reinstalling the whole set up and see what happens? I have taken my laptop to a nearby hotspot and confirmed that it is receiving other network signals fine so it has to be something to do with the router itself.
I need to switch back to my old router currently I am using the EA6500 in the GUI of the latest firmware there is no longer a button "Release IP Address" but it has been replaced with "Release and Renew" button this is causing that the IP address lease form ISP never gets released and I can not switch the routers.
in our living room there lies our desktop with a modem which i believe is in bridged mode hooked up to a 4 port router that provides wireless connection as well but is sort of old and brand is from CD-R king,then from that router all the way to my bedroom is connected to a switch via a 25 meter Ethernet cable providing wired connection to my personal desktop and 1 laptop(wanted 100Mbps than 54.0Mbps plus less chance of getting intermittent connection to the laptop and we play LAN games with me on desktop and bro on laptop), and i was wondering, if i hook up a router to my switch will it also be possible to provide wireless connection to that as well?
Recently I was setting up my new Medion computer and it very quickly came up with four local networks which were mine and three of my neighbours.I fed in my Router password etc and it immediately was wirelessly on line.Very impressed but I have another computer and two DVD recorders which also access the internet but via wired connections to the router.It occured to me that it would be safer if I only used wired connections to the router and did that with the Medion which is only three feet from the Router. Thereby stopping my router broadcasting to the neighbourhood. Is it possible to switch off the Router wireless broadcasting and if so would it really be a safety measure? and be a benefit. The Router is a D-Link DKT-810.I can't see anything in the book about switching off the wireless, I suppose it just assumes you would want it.I don't have any requirement to have a wireless connection anywhere in the house as all my gear is static.
how I would go about adding a network switch to my wireless router. Upstairs with the modem is a Netgear N600 set up as a base station and downstairs I have another Netgear N600 repeating both the b/g and n signals. I now have a Linksys EtherFast 4-port switch that I want to add into the network on the repeating router.
Our network is being handled by a SonicWall Firewall. How do I find the IP address of the wireless router connected to the network switch. I am trying to reset the password of the wireless router.
My main PC and modem is in a back room of the house, my secondary PC and game systems are in the living room.My main PC HAS to have a wired internet connection because that is what I want.My game systems and second PC need a wired connection.I would like to have my D-Link wireless router in the living room so I can use the WiFi for my iPods, iPad, laptop, and anything else that I am looking at when I am sitting on the front porch. I have an Epson printer that I can hook up to my network that I want to be in the back room with my main PC.To get the internet into the living room I am going to run a CAT5E ethernet cable under my house (off the ground and away from electric wires and copper pipe) from my back room to the living room.Is it possible for me to go from the modem to a switch box (I actually have two switch boxes, but I believe I will only need one)which would be connected to my main PC, the printer, and the ethernet wire going under the house to the living room... Then in the living room have the wire that comes from under the house (from the back room) go directly into the wireless router and then from the router have cables going to my game systems and the second PC?If this will work, will I still be able to control the wireless router with my main PC?
My goal is to have my modem in the basement connect to a switch (D-Link 10/100/1000 8 port) so it can split wired connections to 6 different computers. One of those wired connections will be connected to a wireless router (D-link DIR655) on the 2nd floor.
How would I connect all this up? How would I set this up for each router?
I am having a problem setting up an Access Point. Here is my configuration. I have a Comcast Cable Modem that plugs in to a 24 port Netgear Switch. From the switch it plugs into a Linksys N wireless router with an IP of 10.1.10.76. I don't know the linksys model. But it is fairly new. I also have a Netgear WN604 N Access Point that plugs in to the same switch in another location away from the wireless router about 75+ft.
I configured the access point's IP to be 10.1.10.130 with DHCP off and DNS as 10.1.10.1. The cable modems default Gateway is 10.1.10.1 and it handles the dhcp which is provided to the switch were both the wireless router and access point get there IP's. I can't set it up so that the cable modem plugs in to the wireless router first then the switch because of a security system that is setup to the Comcast Cable Modem.
My Goal is to the the same identical SSID and Password for both the Linksys and Access point. I don't think I can set it up as a repeater because it's to far away from the linksys router.
I recently bought a Netgear switch in order to hook up to wired PCs to my modem. I also have a ASUS n53 wireless router that I am trying to connect to the switch. The problem is I can't seem to get internet access to the wireless router I have tried setting it up as an access point, I have tried disabling the DHCP on it.
I have an old wireless router lying behind me and I want to use that old router as a switch. That old router is a knock-off,no-name router brand called "Gigafast" and the model number is WF19-CAPR. There are also variants to that router name as well.The router that I currently have is a Linksys WRT54G wireless-G router. I'm planning to upgrade the wireless router in favor of Wireless-N in the near future.I want to know how can I use that particular Gigafast router as a switch and I want to link that router up to my WRT54G router. The scenario goes as follows:
Cable internet connection ----> WRT54G router ---> Gigafast router (as a switch)
The IP address for the WRT54G router is 192.168.1.1, while the Gigafast router is 192.168.1.254. I may know by now that I have to disable DHCP on the gigafast router and I have to change an IP address to something that is "not in range" with the WRT54G router, am I right?I want to expand the number of ports, so I can connect with future devices such as a VoIP ATA adapter, a laptop and possibly an entertainment box (i.e. Apple TV or Boxee box)
[code] I have tried to configure this setup and have had no luck,and in the proccess have learned enough about networking to be really dangerous to my equipment. Is the problem DHCP? or incorporating MAC routing with IP routing? I'm pretty sure I've managed to program one of my keyboard buttons into a World Delete Function,.
Upstairs I have my internet coming in with a Comcast modem/ router ( I will be bridging this b'cuz it sucks as a router). Also, I have my Dir 655 upstairs that I will use for wireless. and I have my dir615 downstairs and I want to use it as a basic switch/wired router. How do I set up my dir615 as a switch/wired router?
I have 2 WRVS4400N's availible to be. One is running my network and security connected to my WAN.I want to use the other one stricly as a switch or even adding wireless repeat of my current wireless LAN.
I have an E2000 that I was given as a gift. I would like to use at it my office for a switch at my cubicle where I can connect 2-3 computers simultaneously. I am in a large network and am a user only. When I hooked the E2000 up today my computers would not get internet access BUT my laptop got wireless access and internet.
I've a Shiro DSL805E Modem and to connect to multiple computers, I connected an Encore 5 Port Switch. Now I got laptop and thought of getting a wireless network, so I bought TP-Link TL-MR3420 Wireless Router and connected it to the one of the wires from the Encore Switch. But I'm unable to access the internet through TP-Link Router but the internet works fine for the computers which are directly connected to switch. how to do ip settings for TP-Link Router. But when I connect router directly to modem by bypassing switch, it works fine but not via switch. I have some restrictions due to which I have to strictly following this sort of connection: Modem -Switch - Router
I have that connections and i cant change because is a bussiness network, modem (floor 0) > switch (floor 0) > rack switch (floor 0) > network port (floor 1) > router wireless In others floor they have this config with wireless internet working, but in mine no.
The router model is Linksys WRT160N V2, the IP is 192.168.1.87 and if i connect a PC directly to the network on floor 1 i have working internet.
I want to use a linksys router with a 3com switch. 3Com model 3CGSU08A.i have two routers to choose from a E2000 and a WRT54GL which one is better and settings to use.
Comcast installed a Netgear WNR 1000v2 and it is a piece of crap for WIFI. so I bought a Linksys E3200 to switched them. but I really don't know how to do it. How I can get my wifi and Roku working.
Have a Linksys E4200 router located in my basement and I am experiencing a puzzling wired connectivity issue as follows: Port 1 on the router is for my study, I have no problem getting connection regardless if I use my study's Ethernet jack or if I run a 5 ft. cable (hereinafter THE CABLE) from the router’s port 1 to my laptop (i.e., cabling does not make a difference).I then connect to router port 1 an EZXS55W Linksys switch (using port 1 on the switch and THE CABLE) and then connect my laptop to port 2 on the switch using a second cable. I am unable to connect to the network/internet even after rebooting both the cable modem and router.I then reconnect my study to port 1 on the router, I go to my study and connect the study’s Ethernet jack using THE CABLE to port 1 on the switch and using a second cable from port 2 on the switch to my laptop. …. I get an network/internet connection immediately ! FYI, I have had the exact problem with switches EZXS88W and SE2500 (no longer own this).
I have just installed the Cisco E2500 router and setup my wireless network.I bought the router hoping it would give me a stronger signal than my old Linksys G 2.4Ghz.Using inSSider I can see my router and unfortunately it looks like both the 2.4Ghz and the 5Ghz are both operating at the same time. . The signal stregth under RSSI is -60 for the 5Ghz and -57 for the 2.4Ghz.Do I need to switch one of these bands off or what do I do to get a stronger signal?....my old Linksys router was at -50.Where does one switch off a band anyway?
I have a Dlink Wireless N Xtreme DIR-655 I have run out of port 4 on it to a switch with a cat 5 patch cable that is 25 ft long It is connected to the Internet port on a Dlink 4 port switch. When i run from that on any of the 4 ports back to my computer ( Win7). I get no internet access but if i connect the cable straight from the router there is no problem. I even attempted to use a older dlink router for the switches and no luck there at all. Any reason the internet would not be broadcasting through the switch.
How do I use Cisco Connect to set up E2000 as a switch and set up wireless connection, when I am using E3000 as my main router that attaches to the modem?. When I use Cisco Connect I seem to only be able to address the E3000 settings through Cisco Connect..
The router will serve as an access point for 10 wireless station, 6 of them will run over Terminal server, the router will also serve 20 computer for the internet, so I want to Link aggregate the four LAN port to my swtich, I know how to do it on my Dell Powerconnect, but I want to know if the WRVS4400N will support it, there will be a lot of traffic going through the router so linking the 4 port in LAG mode to my Powerconnect swicth will speed up the communication
Region : UnitedStates Model : TL-WDR4300 Hardware Version : Not Clear Firmware Version : ISP : Verizon DSL
My DSL connection comes into our house in the basement and the DSL modem came with a router included. I bought the WDR4300 for the higher speed wireless connections and the gigabit ports. I really don't need the "router" functionality. I would like to put the WDR4300 on the second floor to give (hopefully) the broadest wireless range. However, I would like all my PCs (including those wirelessly connected) to be on the same sub-net. Is there a way to configure the WDR4300 so it acts like a switch rather than a router?
I just bought a e3000 and I have a 24 ports switch. I would like to plug more than 8 pc...how do I proced ? I used to have a dlink router and just plug a cat5e from the dlint to the switch ... but it doesn't work with the e3000
How to add a Linksys router for wireless access to a 3Com switch. model 3CGSU08A I have two choices for routers E2000 and a WRT54GL which one would be best and how to setup?
I've been using WRT320N few days now and I am happy with it so far! It's not overheated as many people reported and performance is also great (wifi as well as gigabit ports). I tested all functions (NAT, Advanced Wireless Settings, Port Forwarding, Access Restrictions...) - all working great, but I am little stuck on the easiest one - configure it temporarily as regular gigabit switch with an IP address: I put my WAN cable and LAN cables in the 1-4 ethernet ports. NAT, DHCP and Firewall are disabled in the router. I have DHCP server in my network that is assigning IP addresses based on MAC address. In "Setup" > "Basic Setup" > "Router IP" I would like to set up automatic configuration - DHCP, but it is not possible, so I just type the same IP address that It should get from the DHCP server (in this case 10.109.249.42). Does all 1-4 ethernet ports have the same MAC address (in this case 00:25:9C:4D:16:86)? Everything is working fine, my computer's IP addresses are succesfully assigned (as well as wifi devices) from DHCP server in my network, but I feel like WRT320N's address is not assigned - the problem is I can't connect to router's administration under http://10.109.249.42. There is no IP restrictions for remote management.

I signed up for Linksys Cloud access.. now going to my browser 'the old way' is disabled.. is there any way to switch back to accessing my EA 4500 using the old way by putting in 192.168.1.1 into the browser?
