I installed a tp link extender to boost wifi at home (2 storey) and since then I have noticed that upstairs where the router is installed the signal is weaker than downstairs where the extender is located.
View 2 RepliesI have been using a TP-Link WR1043-ND for a while now. It is configured as a dumb switch with DHCP disabled. Every other day or so, the device stops taking connections and I cannot access via the IP address. A simple power toggle resets everything immediately. Through this, the LAN connected devices never lose connectivity, I simply am not able to connect wirelessly or access the router via web browser.The only device I connect to the wifi is my phone, so it may actually be more frequently and I do not notice due to my low utilization (and I have 3G so I don't always notice right away if I'm connected). I have a WDTV Live SMP connected to one of the LAN ports and that functions non-stop regardless of the wifi. When the wifi is "down", my phone can see the network and attempts to connect. Sometimes it times out, other times I am repeatedly prompted that the password is incorrect, even though I am POSITIVE that I am entering it correctly. Once I toggle power on the router, the phone connects fine with the stored password.
I have updated to the latest firmware (about a month or so ago): Version: 3.13.12 Build 120405 Rel.33996n My hardware version is: WR1043ND v1 00000000 The router is connected (via LAN port 1) to a wall drop. My upstairs roomate maintains the gig switch and modem, as well as handling the network admin. I simply am using the router as a switch to provide extra ports and broadcast the network over wifi in my apartment.All that said: I need troubleshooting this router and it's configuration before I consider buying a more expensive replacement (and if I go this route, I might add a small switch as well to give me more than 4 LAN ports to work with). I am also considering flashing to DD-WRT before replacing as well to see if that makes a difference in reliability and uptime.
At the moment the Wireless Router is located in my bedroom which is 12 meters from the living room where the phone line is. I basically have one phone line extension from the telephone line to my bedroom where I've plugged in the ADSL filter. The modem part plugs into the actual router and the telephone line is then extended back to the living room with a second extension cable.This is because my PC is in my bedroom. Problem with this is the fact that there are extension cables get in the way when moving furniture around and also hang from the ceiling in the corridor.What I'd like to do is have a WiFi dongle for my PC and move the router to the living room. Now my second problem is that my phone gets a very weak WiFi signal once you go to the living room so I imagine if I moved the router to there then I would barely get a signal in my bedroom. I have two options to solve this:
(1) Use a WiFi extender in between my room and the router and then a dongle for my computer
(2) Upgrade my current G router to an N router. Problem is I'm not too sure the signal will reach my room. There's a 12 meter range from the living room to my bedroom btw.url...
buying a wireless router to use as a wifi extender as the signal is weak upstairs. At the moment my pc upstairs is connected by ethernet cable, I'm thinking of connecting a router upstairs to this ethernet cable to have good wifi upstairs. And my pc does have wifi so I will use that.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy objective is to use the USB port on the E1550 to share an external hard drive for my family's shared media files.I have moved into a rental home with little cat5 wiring. Internet service is Uverse.Given the wiring situation, I bought a netgear universal dual band range extender which connects wirelessly to the uverse router in another room. My home office equipment (computer, printer) are wired into the netgear. All of that works fine. The netgear is 192.168.1.66. The computer is 192.168.1.128. So, I wanted to add the E1550 into my network. I can see it as an attached device on the Netgear's admin page, but cisco connect and a direct ip http://192.168.1.68 does not resolve. I have the e1550 connected via a lan port on the netgear extender (there is no other option). I have gone from that lan port to the internet port on the e1550. I have done so with a staight Cat5 cable and with what I believe should be a cross-over. In both situations, I see the router via the netgear admin page but can not connect to it. I'd prefer not the hang my usb drive off of my computer because it if gets turned off or reboots due to a MS Windows auto update, it leaves the rest of the house with no shared media during that process.

View 4 Replies View Relateddetermine whether I have QoS properly setup on my router, and why the rules do not appear to be taking effect.ISSUE We have a couple of laptops, smartphones, and a Wii on our home network. One device, my roommate's laptop, is a real bandwidth hog. It's connected (via internet, not VPN) to a work server and is frequently downloading and syncing large datafiles and media files.Unfortunately, when that laptop is downloading the other devices either cannot connect to the internet without timing out, or is VERY slow, for example pulling up websites like google.com. When that laptop is offline, everything works fine. It seemed like enabling QoS would resolve our problem.\
SETUPLinksys E1000, latest firmware (v2.1.02), using WPA2-Personal security.
We first tried enabling QoS and setting the MAC address of the downloading laptop to "low" priority and all others to "medium". No luck - the downloading laptop still seems to be hoarding the bandwidth.We also tried adding the download application to the list and setting the port to "low". Still no luck.We added a new application called "web" and set port 80-81 to "high", but that didn't work.We then disabled WMM support. No dice. The other devices still can't connect while my roommatte's laptop is syncing.We've fiddled around with the settings a bit, but no matter what, it looks like the QoS rules are not being applied.And is it acceptable to have multiple categories (MAC and application) in the QoS rules?

View 5 Replies View RelatedThe issue is occuring on our local LAN where my ARP requests are being modified after a period of time by the router for one host. I'm finding that the host will work fine with the correct MAC IP pairing for a period of time and then about 15-30 minutes later, the arp table is changing so the associated mac/IP address is now the mac address of the router interface.
The FastEthernet 0/1 port has no ip proxy-arp enabled and is set with ip nat inside.This only started happening after restarting the router, however the running config was saved as the startup config prior to the restart.I've tried hard-coding the entry with the command arp 10.15.4.190 c82a.1459.0579 ARPA however that is not working as expected.
The device is an 1841 ISR with the advanced IP Services bundle loaded. Is there some way that the router is viewing my host (provides DNS, Directory Services) as a intrustion attempt and somehow rejecting the packets?
I configure HSRP on Router 2951 as a primary router, and Router 2811 as backup router. But when I am switching off my Primary router the backup router is taking 2 mins to take over form primary router.

I've been experiencing problems with internet speeds at my church and my home. They both have security keys, but many people use it. I was wondering - Is there a free tool to monitor who/which device is taking up all of the bandwidth? Something that kind of points out, "Hey, this guy is really slowing you down". Possibly even (But not necessarily) kill their connection?

Mobile devices are saturating our medium sized enterprise network. Examples of these devices are iPhones, iPads, Kindles, Droids, etc When a device is authenticated on our APMobile wireless network and downloads updates, email, or music our Network bandwidth is consumed. Services/Applications are no longer available, such as VoIP. Basically, this is an internal DoS.I have done some research and an example of this problem is an ARP Storm but currently clients obtain IP addresses form our DHCP server, which acts as a proxy for the clients and if effective against deliberate attempts to craft packets that create ARP Storm. In addition we configured the WLC to disable ARPunicast processing via the CLI.The following link is from Cisco's site. It is the ARPstorm that we originally thought was the cause but after more researching we found it wasn't this exact issue - http:[url]....why iPhones frequently take down our network? Could this be a configuration issue with our firewall (Cisco ASA 5520 running version 8.4(2))?
