Wireless Extender Not Keeping A Connection?
Oct 17, 2012
I have a wireless repeater (NETGEAR Universal Wifi Range Extender WN2000RPT) thats been giving me issues lately when attempting to use it to connect an xbox 360 I have to xbox live. The Xbox and the repeater are connected by an ethernet cable so there is no wireless connection going on between them. My router (Cisco WRVS4400N Wireless-N Gigabit Security Router with VPN) located in the basement of my house, and the extender is on the second floor of my house. The xbox that I want to connect to the internet is located on this second floor and because of the distance between it and my router a normal xbox wireless networking adapter doesn't seem to be working.Anyway, if I plug in the extender and let it get a connection, and use it right away to connect, i have no issues. The connection will also usually remain working for a while after I first get it working. The problem comes after I'm done using the xbox and i shut off the console and the tv. When I come back to the xbox later and turn it on, the networking extender still shows it has a full connection and is working properly on the outside with the green lights, but the xbox will not connect and it will tell me the extender is not assigning an IP automatically (DHCP turned off), when I know for a fact it is turned on. It is almost like the extender freezes after I leave it alone and on for a while. When this happens I usually unplug it and let it connect, and everything works as it should again. After a while its gotten a little annoying having to do this every time I need connection.

it's across 3 floors and the current setup is a single wireless router DIR655 (1st floor), but the WiFi suffers greatly on the floor below/above.
I have sourced 3x D link switches and 2x more DIR655's and would like to have all machines/consoles/phones etc in the household on the same network. Is it possible to keep one DIR655 as the main wireless connection and have the other as pure AP's as well as keeping the same SSID?

Having problems with my wireless router, dropping and keeping connection active. For some odd reason I keep dropping connection either wireless or wired. I have a total of 5 items going through this router. 2 of them are wireless and the other 3 are wired. The wireless items are a desktop computer that is using the Wireless USB adapter to get online. Sometimes it drops and most of the time it doesn’t have any problems. I have a laptop that sometimes the connection goes from strong all the way down to no connection at ALL. It starts at 54MBPS to down to the RED X over the wireless manager. Forgot to mention both of these machines are Windows XP. If I reboot the laptop, it comes up without any problems.
Sometimes I tell Windows XP to manage the Wireless connection and tell it to disconnect and re-connect again, it goes. Now for the wired items, I have 2 gaming systems and another computer plugged directly up to the router. For some odd reason when I double click on the internet, on the computer that is hooked directly to the router, it says page couldn’t be found. I know that there is connection and there is nothing running in the task tray except for the Anti-Virus and Firewall. The browsers that I am using are Internet Explorer 8 and Mozilla Firefox 3.0.10. Also checked on the back of the machine to see if I have link lights and everything is flashing. Finally, when I click the homepage or refresh button about 2 or 3 times, it goes through.
think that I am overloading this Router and it can’t handle it. I might have to look into sending "Keep Alive" packet setting on the router.

my bt home hub is a far way from my desktop pc. i was using a old wireless network adapter to connect my pc to the wireless connection, it was slow and would always drop. today i brought a high performance gaming network card for my pc( just lan no wirelss), and i also brought a tp-link 300mpbs wireless N access point,i had the idea that i can use the extender to pick up the network, then run a lan cable from the wireless extender to my desktop pc, the guy in the pc shop told me this would work.ive been working on it all day and cannot get it to work, ive used different settings such as client mode,bridge ap mode and repeater mode. i also made a static ip, when the tp-link is plugged into the pc, i can ping to it, but when i try one of the connections. i just get unidentfied network - no internet access. i can connect to the tp-link via wireless with an adapter but i wanted to make use of the network card i just brought!

find the IP address of the dLAN Wireless Extender so I can go into advanced settings to set up the name, password etc. The Extender config tool provided cannot find it.I replaced my cheap WiFi extender which used to drop the connection all the time with a Devolo dLAN 200 AV Wireless-N Starter Kit, which was highly praised all over the place.How I set it up. The manual clearly states both the single Etherner port plug and the 3-ethernet plug should be slotted directly into the mains sockets which I have done. The smaller, single ethernet plug connects to my Router with the ethernet cable provided. The bigger plug is plugged into a different socket without any other cables attached. The power, house(dLAN), ethernet lights are green on both as well as the Wifi light is green on the extender.I used the dLAN cockpit program to add the Extender by entering the security code on the back, now both of them show up in the Cockpit interface and say "ON". I have the option to change the password for the entire network via the Cockpit, which I did. I assumed that's all the plug & play I had to do to make it work. Wrong. I cannot connect wirelessly at all. The network shows in the available list as devolo-000.......... with full signal, I click it, enter the password, it says authenticating and then drops.
The whole purpose for this is to have an extended Wifi Network around the house where the router cannot reach. But I cannot connect. Now i was reading on Davolo site where it says " You can set up or change the configuration of the dLAN® 200 AV Wireless N via the web interface. To access this interface, simply enter the known IP address of the product into any web browser (e.g.Internet Explorer) or call up the web interface via the dLAN® Cockpit."I also checked that apparently, the newer version, the dLAN 500 has a "config" button in the Cockpit application which takes you directly to the web interface to set up your wifi, but the 200 does not. I do not know what the IP address of the Extender is, I do not know how to reach the interface via my browser. I did have a feeling it had to be done because firstly I wanted to change the name of the Wifi network but couldn't figure out where.
I would also like to add that a program included in the set-up disc, called dLAN Wireless Extender Configuration doesn't seem to find it, so I cannot enter to look at any settings. It pops up with "the dLAN wireless extender was not found. is the dLan wireless extender switched on and properly connected to this computer's local network?"

Have a WLC 5508 running 6.x code with LAP's providing wireless for our internal laptops (WPA2 and EAP-TLS). I want to provide guest wireless which goes out a different port on the WLC to a guest firewall/cable modem. However, we want to prevent our internal laptops from being able to use the guest wireless. I have RADIUS (IAS) and LDAP for my AD available. We would prefer not to have use Lobby Ambassador and just have the guests use a simple password or web passthru. Guests may be laptops or smartphones. What options are available? I have tried a test setup using dynamic vlan assignments from RADIUS using the IETF flags, but can't seem to get it to work. Is there a way to identify the SSID is being used at the RADIUS server?

We have a Linksys E1200 modem and I have been having problems with keeping my son from using the wireless interenet. I did change the password and that worked for about 24 hours and then he was able to get onto it again. He has a nintendo dsi and he is smart enough to figure out how to dismantle any parental controls on his gaming device. I think that he resets the modem in order to get back onto the internet in order to use his gaming device. Someone told me that you can register each item individually in order to keep kids from using it but I have no idea as to how this works. We have two iphones, a lap top, and two tablets.

I have an old laptop in another room running WMC with windows 7. This is wired to my new DIR 655 router then via a switch to another room to my xbox 360. I have successfully connected the xbox as an extender but after a few minutes of idle time, the connection drops and my xbox automatically restarts. If I'm streaming something it seems to work fine.

I run a minecraft server over an ad hoc network, but every time we start the server up again, we have to find the new IP address, edit the server files, and re-enter the new IP address onto all the computers.Is there a way to make it so an Ad Hoc always boots with the same Ip Address?

I have multiple devices running on my home network. Every once in a while my wireless router starts playing up and I have to reset it.Whenever this happens, it changes the internal IP addresses of the devices. Is there a way to make the router keep the same internal ip address for each device? ie Laptop stays at 192.168.1.8I have a few forwarded ports for remote access to certain pieces of software, so each time the address changes, I have to go in and change these details, which is quite frustrating.

Keep a log of my own (Wan) IP-adress. It should look up my own IP-address and write it away to a log, so that I can look up a few weeks or months later what my IP-adress was on a certain day. I am using a router at home.

I would like to know if it is possible to add a second router to my home network.
My son wants to use his Nintendo DS online but the device does not have WEP capability, it can only deal with the less secure WPA option.
I am not willing to drop my preferred WEP just to facilitate one device, but I do have a spare router and I am wondering if it were possible to hook the second router up and allow him to connect using WPA?

I have two dir655 routers that are connected. The second router is not setup as a wireless access point, but I am open to that if it will work. The second one is going to serve as a public wifi in a business, with a separate SSID. The first one is going to handle the local business network, with its NAS and printers. How would I prevent the public wifi from accessing the first router?
I have tried the guest wifi partition setting, however it still allows access to the lan devices on the first router. It does partition with the second router properly though, but thats not worth anything to me cause there are no lan devices on the 2nd router.
Would it work right if I turn the 2nd router into a access point, disable the dhcp server, and set it up with the guest wifi partition?

As part of my course, I have to install a brand new network, including cabling, setting up equipment etc in a room whilst ensuring that the current network system for that room is still running without any issue. How to do this as it includes taking out/changing the infrastructure in relation to cabling?

I am installing a network that has two SG500X-24 switches as core and several SG300-52 switches as access switches. I've seen in the SG500X-24 datasheet that there is a True Stacking feature. But in the data sheet there are not a lot of details about it. My doubt is the following. If I configure the two SG500X-24 switches as a single switch through stacking them, can I connect one SG300-52 switch to these two SG500X-24 switches through two cables (both configured as a LAG in the SG300-52 and in the SG500X-24 stack, one cable per SG500X-24), the the first cable connected to the first SG500X-24 switch and the second cable connected to the second SG500X-24 switch and keep both connections active?

I have been testing WiFi devices such as the iPhones and iPads connectivity with the following setup:
1. 3502i AP
2. WLC 5508 SW 7.0.98
3. NGS
The i-devices have iOS v4.2
My goal is to have the guest user i-devices maintain the credentials (username and password) when they login again to the wireless network. Like if the device sleep, I think definitely they would loose those IP address issued by the DHCP. Once the guest user uses them again and connect them to the wireless network the user would not need to type-in those credentials on the Web Authentication page directed by the WLC.
The credentials are issued by the sponsor who created them on the NGS. It seems that there are WiFi problems with these i-devices. But somehow, I'm looking for a solution that would automated the logins like a checkbox if you want to be kept signed in, on Yahoo or Stay signed in for GMail.

I have a Cisco 877W-K9 router, and I for the life of me can not work out how to enable multiple SSIDs on the AP whilst keeping them all to the same VLAN?
I know this may seem silly but basically for our clients we setup WPA-Enterprise for one SSID and WPA-PSK for the other to help ease migration between the two etc, however all I can seem to do at the moment is create multiple VLANs and use ip unnumbered vlan1 to sync them all into one, but this seems really silly.

I recently purchased a wireless extender to use on my PC, PS3, and kindle since I have such a low signal in my bedroom. I connected the extender to the PS3 and kindle with no problems. Great signal. Increased from 1 bar to 3 bars. However I can't connect either one of my PCs to it. It connects but says no internet access.

I recently just bought a Netcomm NP124 wireless extender as a computer on the other side of my house does not get within the range of my routers wireless.So i have opened the package and followed the step by step manual of how to set it up. it is as follows:
1. to initially set up the product we recommend you plug the NP124 into a power socket near both you existing router and computer (DONE successfully)
2. Plug the supplied Ethernet cable into your NP124 and connect the other end to the computer (DONE successfully)
*this is where the problem lies*
3. you can connect your devises through the web user interface. to open the web browser (internet explorer, Firefox, etc) and type 192.168.20.1 into the address bar and hit enter.
4. When prompted add in the username and password.
Before i keep going i must tell you that my desktop computer doesnt have wireless but my modem/router does so i connect my computer to my router via an ethernet cable.There are further steps but i cannot get past step 3. When i attempt to type the IP in the URL it says "problem loading page", "unable to connect". At all times my phone line is connected to my modem/router. These are the cable variations i have tried:
a) -ethernet from computer to NP124
-No ethernet connection from modem/router to computer
**this is the procedure outlines in the manual, does the manual assume i have a wireless connection
to the internet in my desktop?**
b) -ethernet from the computer to the modem/router
-ethernet from the NP 124 to the moder/router
c) now using an Ethernet hub:
-(ALL) NP124, modem/router and desktop connected to the hub at the same time
I cannot see why the IP does not connect, without this stage i cannot enter the wireless settings of the NP124. I have tested to see if other IP addresses work in the URL (eg the modems 192.168.1.1) and it works but the NP124 doesnt.

I started out with a wireless router/modem that my ISP provides as its default modem. It was and still is working fine. We will call this router A. My uncle who is living with me wasn't receiving the wifi signal in his room so he went and bought a different router that is supposed to have more range. Also, I believe it is capable of providing higher speeds wirelessly, but that is really irrelevant I think. We can call this new router B. I currently have router B running through router A with an ethernet cable into a LAN port- LAN port to LAN port. I basically want B to be a wireless range extender.My question is quite simple actually. I have everything up and running just fine, but it seems as if the wireless signal may still be coming from the old router A.

I currently have a sagem router provided by my isp (sky), as the signal does not reach all areas of my premesis and sky refuse to let me use my own router I decided to purchase a wireless extender. I got a Edimax EW-7416APn and configured it using the following settings at the following address:when I connect to the extender i can gain access to the management settings, if i perform a scan using the extender it can see the original router, if I check the security settings they hold the correct ssid, security type (wpa - tisk) and the correct passphrase.
