Setting Up Multiple Wireless Points As One Entity?

May 28, 2011

I work in a medium sized business with 50~ employees. We recently decided to allow wireless access for employees, newer computers with internal wifi, and customers. Now, I'm savvy enough to know how to setup a wireless router without using the instructional CD and just accessing it directly via the IP, that's all fine and dandy. However, the range of one singular wireless router hardly covers 20% of the building.

1: The main network hubs are located in a maintenance room far off in the corner, so setting up a wireless device there was not beneficial. I attempted to set one up via an ethernet port in the middle of the building. This worked without issues, and connected fine, however- The wireless router now has it's own separate set of IPs instead of "being one with the main router/hub." Our default IPs are 192.168.15.***, while this wireless router has created a separate set of IPs with 192.168.1.***. This wouldn't be much of an issue were it not for the fact our server needs to be connected via RDP through some wireless devices. So we cannot type in the typical IP to connect to the server since it's no longer in the same network, this also eliminates printer access. The simple question to all this is if it is possible to have a wireless router connected via a port of the main router still believe it's the same network like hubs do, or does this require a separate wireless device I'm unaware of?

2: The second issue is partially relative to the first. Range. As mentioned, one wireless router is not enough to allow wireless in the entire building. Boosting the signal will still result in weak signals, so the better option would be, at my only knowledge in regards to routers: more wireless routers. So I purchased three wireless routers, however the signal is still spotty. So aside the issues in question #1 to sync all routers together, is there a different device I could purchase or a method to make wireless router's range extended over areas. Like say a wireless router emits a signal, at the weakest point, the signal is boosted in a radius, at the boosted signal's weakest point, it's reboosted with another device, etc. I'm simply unaware as to how this could be done, but figure it exists. As my boss stated: How could airports have multiple access points, they couldn't just purchase these routers over and over and hook them up everywhere like this.

Home Network :: Setting Up Networks With Multiple Locations / Wireless Points?

Feb 11, 2011

setting up networks with multiple locations and multiple wireless points.For example: My sisters' home has here modem in her main computer room, it has a Belkin router hooked to the modem. Then a line goes from there to my nephew's room where I tried to expand their network by adding another router. I really just wanted an access point, but they don't seem to sell these as much as they used to. Anyway, I had it working, but it was two different networks, NETWORK1 and NETWORK2. So they had to swap networks when moving around the house. what would be the best hardware setup to provide both sides of the house with some Hardwired access as well as wifi access? Right now, we have two routers, a DIR615 (or something like that) and a Cisco E1000, and again hardwire going from the main computer room to my nephew's room.Also, in my house, I have lots of stuff... I have an Actiontec Router from FIOS, feeding a small hub as well as a switch in my main room. Which then feeds a Ps3, Wii, laptop, Denon reciever, and Access Point... and also feeds my Apple TimeCapsule, which also feeds my printer. My wireless devices range from cameras, iphones/ipads, and a wifi unit (I forget what it's called, but it connects my DVR wirelessly to my network, and the DVR itself doesn't have wifi).

my question about my setup is, should everything be on one network... as in let the ActionTec handle most of the duties and use switchers and accesspoints to extend the network. Should everything be on the same wireless network and channels? Like if I used my access point to extend, do I want the same settings as my main wireless router, and would that be the same for the Apple Airport Extreme?Also, does having all these wireless networks going create any kind of hinderance on my performance. For example, the PS3 has some sort of wifi in it... it produces a SSID, but I never connect to it. Should I make sure that's off? And in my main room, should I go with just the AirPort extreme over using it and the Wireless Access point.

Setting Up Multiple Wifi Access Points In A Building

Oct 14, 2011

I'm doing a college project and looking to triangulate a position where someone is standing in a building using information from at least three Wi-Fi access points. The building has computer labs that I can use. It also has just one Wi-fi signal. I want to know how I can turn one or two of the computers into a Wi-Fi access point that I can detect on my smartphone and differentiate it from the Wi-Fi signal that is currently in the building.Is there something that I can attach to a computer lab computer with possibly USB that will set up a Wi-Fi access point?or if I wanted, could I bring in a laptop and attach something to it in order to set up a Wi-Fi access point?In both situations, I want to use the Wi-Fi connection that is already in the building to create ' hotspots' that I can use so that I can get information from each.

Home Network :: Setting Up Wifi With Multiple Access Points?

Jan 27, 2012

Well this process is self explanatory, setting up the network is easy but im running into trouble with my wireless devices connecting to the strongest signalIm not exactly sure if there is a fix for this yet or if they have not made a protocol to fix it. I have a big house with solid wall in which i have setup 3 wifi's. 1st Modem/wifi Router, 2nd Wifi access point, 3rd wifi access point. Now the problem im having is moving between the access points my devices such as my ipad are changing from one access point to the next whilst moving throughout the house (that is until it loses the first signal I believe or you turn your ipad wifi off/on so it reconnects back to the strongest/closest access point).

Cisco Wireless :: WAP4410N Multiple Access Points / One Authentication

Dec 7, 2011

My boss just asked me if there was a way for him to move from point A to Point B with his wireless laptop and NOT have to reauthenticate at point B if I install another access point there. Right now I have us setup on a Cisco WAP4410N Access Point that works well when he's within range of the antenna. The point B location is upstairs and while it's only about 50-70 feet away from the Point A access point the signal he's getting there is very weak so he wants me to install another AP there.
 
IOW he wants to authenticate once at point A and when he walks up to point B he wants the laptop to pickup the newer hotter signal when I put another AP point in.

Home Network :: Multiple Access Points Connected By Wireless Bridge?

Sep 27, 2011

I have a router that is capable of wireless N at 5.0GHz but can't run simultaneous with it's 2.4GHz band a/b/g (Cisco Linksys E2000), so I have a second router acting as gateway for my b/g devices (and a few wired only that are nearer to it). They are connected LAN port to LAN port with 50ft of cat6 and the DHCP server running on only one router. I know this is pretty standard for multiple access points, and it works very well. But I'm moving, and in the new house, the internet access will be on one floor with the wireless N router, and the other router will need to be in the basement on the opposite end of the house, and running networking cable through the floor and walls is just too much trouble. My question is, can I replace the previous wired method with a wireless N bridge attached to the LAN port of the router in the basement and have it function in the same way as it did when it was wired, with only the DHCP server running on the wireless N router, and all devices attached to either router able to see each other? I would assume so, but I would like to know from anyone who has experience with it before I go buying the bridge.

Cisco Wireless :: Multiple Aironet 1131AG Access Points And Same SSID?

Dec 22, 2009

We have multiple Cisco Aironet 1131AG devices, all wired on one Cisco L2 switch(2560)  who is connected to L3 switch (3550). We assigned one VLAN for access point in L3 switch who acts as vtp server (L2 switch is vtp client). All ap's will have static ip address and all will have same SSID and no security and they will be using multiple channels (ex. 1,6,11).  They will operate in 3 floor building for roaming wireless client. We won't using any wireless controller.

How to configure APs-all the same with different ip's, can we use L3 switch to create dhcp server for access points VLAN (pool for clients, and the rest for static ip for ap's)?

Cisco Wireless :: Setting Up Wireless Repeater Using 1242AG Access Points?

Jul 4, 2011

I have problem setting up wireless repeater using Cisco 1242AG access points. Here is the setup and problem - The location has 2 1242AG APs  and a WLC (2206) which will be used by PDAs. One of the AP was converted to Lightweight AP and is wired. This AP is up and working and PDAs are able to connect to it.  There is 1 WLAN and it uses Local EAP (LEAP) as authentication. Layer-2 security is configured as WPA/WPA-2 with 802.1X authentication. Under AAA servers Local-EAP is enabled and a profile (with LEAP enabled) is used. Local users are configured for login. As said PDAs are able to connect and it is working without any problem.
 
WLC (LEAP with local users) -----> LAP ----> Repeater AP
 
But the 2nd AP has to be configured as repeater was configured to repeater mode (refering to the document) and was placed. The WLC can see a client (with APs MAC address) but it is probing. The AP is still Automonous AP. Also username and password is configured for authentication. But still the radio on the AP is not up and it is in reset state.

Multiple Access Points 2 Routers

Apr 1, 2012

I've recently bought another PC, but set it up in a different area than my existing computers. It's down in my basement, along with my PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii. Now the problem is connecting all of these "toys" to the internet. I only have one in-wall ethernet port, which my PC is currently plugged into. Leaving my PS3, Xbox, and Wii, only with an extremely weak wireless connection. Now, my original thought was just to buy a network "switch," BUT then I remembered I have an old D-Link router. So, logically I should be able to plug an ethernet into the wall, then into the WAD port on my router, then plug my Xbox, PS3, Wii, and PC into the 4 remaining LAN ports on my router. I want another WiFi access point using the same network, and a wired connection for all of my gadgets.

Cisco WAN :: ME3600X Redistribute BGP To ISIS At Multiple Points In Network

Feb 28, 2012

I have an Metro network running ISIS to different locations. There are severals vrf's on different VLAN's with separate ISIS routing processes. ISIS is running in L2-Only There are two redundant hub routers (ME3600X) that are placed centrally.Connected to each of the ME3600X is an ISR2951 that connects to the internet and handling backup connections over DMVPN. Over those DMVPN tunnels I run MPLS over GRE and routing with BGP. The leaves are IBGP neighbours, and the central ISRs are route-reflectors. In those routers I redistribute from BGP to ISIS and vice versa. The IBGP has an admin distance of 200 and the ISIS route has 115, so in normal operations the ISIS route is installed in the FIB.
 
My problem is that when an primary connection goes down, I want the backup route via the DMVPN to be redistributed from BGP in to ISIS, and the traffic to go over the DMVPN instead. But what will happen is that when the ISIS route over the primary connection disapear both my ISR's will compete in advertising the route, and as one of the ISR's is advertising it the other one recives it and since ISIS distance are better it will prefer that one, and the other way around. So my routes are coming and going, and everything is unstable. With just one ISR, it works as it should.I tag the route redistributed in to ISIS, but there is no way to add a incoming distribute list to the interface of the ISR in ISIS, otherwise I might have stopped the route in to the ISR if it was advertised by the other ISR.
 
Also tried to put the ISR's in different L1 areas in ISIS and redistributed L2 to L1 in the ME3600X with an route-map filtering the routes learned from BGP from the ISR's. That works for failing over, but then I'm stuck on the DMVPN bacause when the primary way comes back again, the L1 learned from the ISR is prefered before the L2 learned from the neighbor over the Metro network.
 
I was thinking of extending the BGP in to the ME3600X, I could of course use EIGRP with distribute-list's between the ME end the ISR. [code]

Set Up Multiple Access Points With Packetfront DRG700 Broadband Modem?

Apr 22, 2013

I have a Packetfront DRG700 broadband modem (fiberoptic), which also has a wireless DHCP server built-in. In addition I have a D-Link DIR-615 router which is connected by cable to the modem. I want both units to be wireless access points for the same local network.

I've tried disabling the DHCP server on the D-Link and naming both units with the same SSID and passphrase, but that didn't work because whenever I'm wirelessly connected to the D-Link, I get an IP address from my broadband provider and not from the DHCP server on my modem; i.e. I'm no longer connected to my local network.

I'm told by my provider that the reason is because the DHCP server on the DRG700 only works wireless, while the LAN ports are given IPs from outside the house. (I would use one of these ports for my broadband TV decoder.)

Cisco Wireless :: Aironet AP-1041N Setting To Have Access Point Broadcast Multiple SSIDs

Jan 17, 2013

I have recently purchase Aironet Access Point. I'm pretty new to Cisco systems and what i'm try to do is have the access point broadcast multiple SSIDs lets call them Guest and Admin. My problems is when i config router to have a DHCP address it works perfectly fine but when i assign a static IP it shows all the any connected device as unkown with IP 0.0.0.0. So i'm guessing i will need to setup a dhcp server. Is there a way access point can have its own DHCP server and IP address ( i don't want to use any from my STATIC ip subnet as i dont know alot of empty ones left) like home wifi router where they assign each device an IP like 192.168.0.1. Is this possible?

Guest Internet Access - Multiple Access Points?

Dec 13, 2012

Here is my setup:

Netgear WNDR3700 - Main router, DHCP turned on
4x Netgear WNR2000 - Setup as Access Points (DHCP turned off), connected to main router via LAN ports

I only want the guest network to have internet access. I have the guest network enabled on the router and access points with the option to "Allow Guest network to access main network" disabled. My problem is that since the access points aren't hooked directly to my modem via the WAN port, the guest network broadcasted from the access points does not have internet access.I have read up on setting up a separate subnet for the guest network using DD-WRT but was curious if there was a way to get the desired result with the stock Netgear firmware.

My friends and I want to set up a better Teamspeak 3 server but Don't want to spend the money to rent one. We currently have a friend who runs the server on his computer but it is unreliable. We are wondering if we could have multiple computers support one server. So that if one computer fails the server would still get supported by other computers that are supporting the server. Also what would be some recommended hardware stats to run this server.

So I'm asking, can we have multiple computers support a single Teamspeak 3 server?

Cisco :: SG200-08 Setting Up Multiple Subnets

Aug 26, 2011

I am setting up my home lab to practice and play around.I have VMWARE ESXi environment with two workstations as my servers.I would like to setup two domains with two domain controllers  but i want each domain to have its own subnet.So this is my setup. I have Cable modem from cablevision , thay connects to my router which is Apple Airport which acts as the DHCP server. DNS server and default gateway. The network on the router is 10.0.1.xThen i have two switches . One is a 5 port unmanaged switch that connects to the three physical desktops .Then i have a Cisco small business switch SG200-08 that connects to my ESX servers and NAS. Now currently all is good and working but like i said all my machines physical or virtual get an IP that is 10.0.1.x and they get all this from the router. And i think i can setup two domains with two domain controllers without an issue and they will all get an IP address of 10.0.1.x. This is all good but i want to have one domain on one subnet and other on another so for example one domain will have 10.0.1.x and other 10.0.2.x. I am just not sure what i need to to  get this setup like this. I know my SG200-08 supports vlans and i am pretty sure on the apple router you can only have one subnet i think. So can i do this with my current setup by setting up a DHCP server with two scopes ?

Cisco Routers :: Setting Up Static Routing Using Multiple RVS4000s

Oct 8, 2011

I have 8 RVs4000's to built a test system with. On each side of the network is 2 servers, both with 2 NIC's. Both are on different /24 networks.

The idea is to simulate a WAN link, with the RVS4000's G1 & G2 running in "Gateway" mode to simulate the WAN.  All other RVS4000's will be in Router mode ('R1,R2...etc..')  All networks in /24 range. As I understand it, the RVS4000 CANNOT take 2 diverse networks on the LAN side: - ie 192.168.168.1 & 10.1.1.1 on the LAN side. The NIC's on the server only need to communicate to the similar type of addresses on the other side - 192.168.168.1 on server 1 to 192.168.170.2 on server 2, but NOT 192.168.168.1 to 10.1.2.1 on server 2. The G1 & G2 link is so that all communications are routed between this link - as a testing point.
 
So, my questions are this:
1) Will this work? Is there any easier way of doing this? (Bear in mind this is the only equipment i have to do this). 
2) Is the static routing I have thought of work? (see below)
 
R1
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.10
R2
5.5.5.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.100
4.4.4.0 255.255.255.0 1.1.1.200
[code]....
 
I know using the RVS4000's inbuilt RIP may be easier, but I've never configured RIP routing.  As this is a test environment, using static routing would be enough to get it going.  No security lock down is required, all I'm trying to enable is for the servers to communicate with each other (NIC1 on both servers e.g 10.1.1.1 on server 1 to 10.1.2.1 on NIC 1server 2, and NI 2 on server 1 192.168.168.1 to NI 2 on server 2 192.168.170.1)  The 10.1.x.x networks DO not need to talk to the 192.168.x.x networks.  THe G1 & G2 link is just for testing - but all communications must pass through here and be routed to their relevant networks on the other side.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 2821 - Setting Up Multiple Routes With Failover

Apr 2, 2013

I'm a bit perplexed atm with trying to set up multiple failover routes on a 2821 router.  Let me say that I have more experieince in a switched network as routing is seldom required where I work atm.  Here's my problem. I have a routing table set up as follows but only the primary routes work.  The failover routes will not kick in once the primary route is not there.
 
ip route 10.32.11.0 255.255.255.0 128.32.8.11
ip route 10.32.11.0 255.255.255.0 128.32.24.11 100    
ip route 10.32.12.0 255.255.255.0 128.32.8.12
ip route 10.32.12.0 255.255.255.0 128.32.24.12 100
ip route 10.32.14.0 255.255.255.0 128.32.8.14
ip route 10.32.14.0 255.255.255.0 128.32.24.14 100
 
Ip addresses are not exact but it gets the point across.
 
Why the failover routes are not failing over?  The failover routes work if I remove the primary route from the config.

Cisco Wireless :: C1131AG - Multiple SSID With Multiple VLANs Configuration On Aironet AP

Oct 21, 2012

how i can configure a second ssid for guest access in our environment. this is our network setup prior to this request: Internet----Firewall (not ASA)---ce520---C1131AG and CME router is also connecting to the ce520 switch. we only have two vlans: one for voice and two for data.
 
Presently, there is no vlan configured on the AP because it on broadcasting ont ssid and wireless users gets IP from a windows DHCP server on the LAN. the configuration on the ce520 switch port for the AP and other switches say access vlan is the DATA vlan which automatically becomes the native vlan for all trunk port connecting the AP and other Stiches to the network.
 
Now with this new requirement, i have made my research and i have configured the AP to broadcast both the production and the guest Vlans. The two vlans are 20-DATA and 60-Guest. I made the DATA vlan on the AP the native vlan since the poe switch is using the DATA vlan as native on the trunk ports. I configured the firewall to serve as DHCP server for the guest ssid and i have added the ip helper-address on the guest vlan interface on all switches while the windows server remains the dhcp server for the production DATA Vlan. I have confirmed that the AP, switches can ping the default gateway of the guest dhcp server which is another interface on the firewall. I can now see and connect to all broadcasted ssids but the problem is I am not getting IP addresses from both the production dhcp server and guest dhcp server when i connected to the ssid one at a time. My AP config is attached below.
 
Do i need to redesign the whole network to have a native vlan other nthan the data vlan? Does the access point need to be aware of the voice vlan? Do the native Vlan on the AP need to be in Bridge-group 1 or can i leave it in bridge-group 20?

Cisco Wireless :: WLC 5508 Multiple Interfaces For Multiple SSIDs

May 13, 2013

I am trying to build a new network from scratch, I have the WLC 5508 w/ Aironet 3600e APs connected to my Netgear Smart Switches and a Linksys RV082 router that I'm using as my DHCP server with several VLANs for several stuff on my Switches.
 
I have 2 questions:
 
1. Can I have 5 Interfaces configured on 5 different VLANs, each SSID on each a different Port:
 
Port 1: Controller management only=> 192.168.x.x /24
Port 2: SSID 1: WiFi Internal=> 172.16.x.x/12 (Radius Auth with no sharing)
Port 3: SSID 2: WiFi Internal w/ sharing=> 192.168.x.x/24 (Radius Auth with sharing)
Port 4 :SSID 3: WiFi Guest=> 10.0.x.x/8 (Web Auth)
Port 5: SSID 4: WiFi IT=> 192.168.x.x/24 ( Radius or certificate Auth with access to the controller management interface)
 
2. How can I use the Controller as the DHCP server for all the WiFi traffic, and how should that be configured to work with my other DHCP server?

The distance between the house and the first hall is approx 1 road width distance.ISP is Virgin and the internet was installed this year hence has the latest Virgin Home Hub.I am aware that i probably require 3 wireless access points (1 for each hall).The first wireless access point will need to be connected with a RJ-45 cable running from Home Hub. Can i connect the Wireless access points up together or do they all need to come from the ADSL hub?I am not sure what Wireless access points would be best and how to go about connecting this all up

Two Wireless Access Points With Two Routers?

Jul 5, 2012

I have New Pace 4111n Wireless Router that I got from AT&T and is setup on 1st floor, but its wireless range does not get me to 2nd floor. I also have the 2Wire wireless router from AT&T. In Addition, I have ethernet connection from level 1 to level 2 as well.

I was wondering if it is possible to have the Pace Wireless N router to work as modem and wireless access point, at the time use the 2Wire router to broadcast wireless and act as access point for 2nd floor.

IF its doable, how should the two be configured and connected.

Cisco ASA5505 And Wireless Access Points

May 31, 2011

We have a Cisco ASA5505 here that provides DHCP and routing to all our devices in our network. We also have a few other switches and wireless access points connected directly to the back of the ASA5505.For the past year all the wireless network signals has been working fine however starting last month, none of the wireless access points (we have three WRT54G) would allow proper connection (dropping connection, slow internet).I thought this maybe all THREE wireless access points are toast/bricked. So i went out and bought brand new Netgear WN604 and even with the new WAP i'm having same connectivity issues (really slow internet).When hardwired directly to the switches we get BLAZING fast internet & connectivity, no issues.

I called CISCO TAC and they automatically said "our ASA5505 is fine, it has to be your wireless access points" not working properly. I explained to them that i also purchased two brand new access points and they are doing the samething now, how can that be?

All attempts to connect meets with the same error: "unable to connect to network" (preceded by the system hanging for a lengthy amount of time). Windows advises me to unplug the router and plug it back in, which obviously isn't an option.It's annoying to troubleshoot, because I'm only having the problem at times where I have no wired access (hence: no way to get to forums like these and look for an answer, update drivers, whatever).

I've had some long standing issues that I've tried various things to fix.  I have two WAP4410N access points set up at a smaller sister company.  Wireless clients (laptops) are not receiving DHCP assigned IP addresses.  If I type in an IP manually, it works fine.The sister company has a point to point T-1 connection to our main building.  Our main building has the DHCP server.  The router on the sister company end is configured as the DHCP relay. 
 
I've upgraded the firmware three different times in the past to hopefully resolve the issue, but no luck.  Just today, on one of the WAP4410N's, I upgraded to the 2.0.6.1 firmware (backing up config, reset to factory default, upgraded firmware, reset factory default again, restored config).  After the first reset to factory defaults, the Access Point itself picked up a DHCP address from the server, and I verified this in the DHCP console on the server, so I know that the DHCP relay is working.  However, my laptop would not get a DHCP address when connecting wirelessly through that access point.  It is a Windows 7 Enterprise laptop.  I also could not get a DHCP IP with my iPhone connecting to wireless, to rule out specific issues with just a laptop.I have the DHCP lease times for the subnet that these WAP4410Ns are on set to 2 hours.
 
To put a cherry on top, there is one laptop that stays in a lab area at all times, connecting wirelessly, and it DOES get a DHCP IP address (I can see in the DHCP console that the lease for this laptop continually renews as needed).  I do remember on initial config when I couldn't get it to work, that I did a manual set up, gained connection, then switched it to DHCP...but that doesn't work for any other laptop.Why would the access points get DHCP address, but not anything connecting to the Access Points?

Cisco Wireless :: CDP On Access Points 3502 Aps

Mar 15, 2012

Using WISM with 7.0.220 and 1240 and 3502 APs. Just found that some of our 3502 AP didn't enbale their clean air and CDP when installed. This only happened on a few new APs.  But the area these APs where we seem to have had a few problems with PCs. The only PCs effected where Computer On Wheels (COWs), Dell 780 Desktop with a Cisco Wireless Card.

Using an interl wireless card and others in thes areas worked.Once I enabled the CDP and Clean Air, the COWs worked.My question is with the APs not having CDP enabled, could this affect the cisco wirelss card in the COWs?

Vizio TV No Longer Finds Wireless Access Points?

Feb 19, 2012

my Vizio TV (VF552XVT) can no longer find any wireless access points even after inputting SSID or IP information. Other wireless devices (my phone) are able to connect wirelessly. Everything was working fine until a power outage about 3 days ago.
