I have a cradlepoint ctr350 router. I have a steel building garage abou 75 ft. away from where the router is stationed. I have no problem getting a good signal at the doorstep of the steel building, but once inside I have nothing. What would be the best way for me to get wifi inside of the steel building without having to run a hard line?

I need WIFI inside a giant steel Quanset hut. There is a good signal right outside. Is there a way to do this with one device? I was wondering if I could put one of the antennas of a WRT54G through a hole to the outside and then set it in repeater mode. Theory being it would use the outside antenna to pickup the signal and the inside antenna to broadcast.

I purchased a WRT 54Gl linksys wireless router hoping I would be able to get a WIFI signal to my house. I have no live phone lines in my home just the one in my metal building , how can I get a signal through the metal building to my home in order to use wifi on my Ipod and Iphone . Keep in mind I am 200 ft from my home and have a wooden shop and another metal building to go through to get to my home.

The internet (fiber) enters the house at the beginning where the modem is hooked up to my Linksys WRT320N. From there two cables run through the house:1 to the home office, where two computers are connected through a switch.1 to the living room, where the Xbox, blue-ray player are connected through a switch.I also have a wifi network running from my WRT320N, but as it is at the beginning of the house, there are some black spots in other parts of the house. I tried to fix this with a Netgear repeater, but that keeps disconnecting.
What I want to do know is place a second linksys device in the living room at the end of the already existing cable that will also broadcast a wifi network, but I want this to be exactly the same Wi-Fi network as I already have. What I want to achieve is that I can walk from one end of the house with my iPad, streaming a video, to the other end of the house and that I always stay connected to the internet and that my tabled just picks up the strongest broadcaster, basically the same as with a mobile phone.
How to setup a WIFI Network in a large campus building.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'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.
View 1 Replies View Relateddesigning a wireless network for an apartment complex. The complex is shaped like like an rectangle, fairly small, maybe 100 feet on the ends and 300 feet long on the sides. There are 130 people that we are assuming may have about 3 devices each that they will connect to the wireless network, potentially simultaneously, as this is in a college environment. We have plenty of bandwidth and down/up speed. We are running 30 megabit down and 10 up. I am planning on having a router with two access points centrally located in an apartment and extending the network out with antennas in each direction from the access points with Omni directional antennas. The Access points that I am planning on using are Cisco WAP200 with maybe a Linksys router, as the router should not have more than 10 connections on it. I need something that will not crash after 10-15 users connect to it because it jams up from overload.

This center can be used by each office/company to either house their own networking solutions or utilize their internet access if you plan only to use cloud servers or NAS servers. Our company (4 employees) is using this network center only for internet access with all of our data stored and accessed in our cloud service.We would like to access the internet wirelessly, which building does not provide. We were given one port and shared the link through the use of a switch. So my questions is would an access point add wireless connectivity without any information (ISP?) provided by the network center? I am not sure yet if we will be purchasing a router/AP or device made for to be used as an AP.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have a Windows server based network (15 wired computers) and four wireless devices (more to come)We are using a CISCO SA520W appliance in the main building as the perimeter Internet gateway / firewall / wireless access. It all works well.We have a second building too far away for wireless devices to reach the SA520W radio in the main building.The second building is connected via fiber to the main building (switch to switch). Several wired computers are connected to the switch in the second building.We want to provide seamless wireless connectivity as wireless device users move between buildings.
We thought to mount and connect another simple B/G capable wireless access point, via ethernet wire, to the switch in the second building. But we're not sure of the best CISCO/Linksys model to choose for this. The choice should work well with the SA520W configuration and be relatively simple to configure in that environment.We're also unsure of the steps to configure a seamless wireless experience for the roving wireless device users.
We have cisco wireless network throught the whole 8-floor building on Cisco WLC 4402 and Cisco LAP-1242 AP. There are no coverage holes, but sometimes clients are flapping between two access points at different floors with serious loss in throughput. Is there any method to limit roaming between different floors in the building?

Alright, so I have a Dell xps 12 running windows 8.On my school's campus, there are two wifi options. One is secure with a login, the other is unsecured but with a Web login. Normally I connect to the secure one and have no problem.
However, in one building I've encountered issues connecting. My computer will pick up the signal for both options (and says there is strong signal) , then try to connect to the secure one. It will say "connection is taking longer than usual" and then fail to connect, then say no networks available. I tried resetting the network adapters and it picks up the signal again for a moment, try to connect, and then same problem again.
I can see other people in the room connected to the Internet with no issue. My phone also connects with no problems, and has full signal. I have no idea why my computer won't connect.

View 3 Replies View RelatedThis lab teaches the application performance of two different networkarchitectures: Daisy Chain and Collapsed Backbone Network. The bookshows a collapsed backbone data network in which there is a core switch inthe basement equipment room. The core switch is linked directly to aworkgroup switch on each floor. Another option is to link the switches in adaisy chain. In this approach, the basement core switch is linked directly tothe first floor switch, the first floor switch is linked directly to the second floorswitch, and so forth.This lab shows the application latency introduced by connecting buildingswitches in different ways.
OverviewOperations building has 10 floors, each havingmany users connected to a 10Base-T workgroup switch in the telecommunications closet. The users share an Oracle server and seven fileand print servers in the basement.In Scenario 1, the switches on each floor are daisy chained to the core switchin the basement. We will see that this daisy chain approach introduces highapplication latency to users on the highest floor.In Scenario 2, the daisy chain topology is retained, but the core switch ismoved to the fifth floor. We will see that this reduces latency on the highestfloor but increases it on the bottom floor.In Scenario 3, the core switch is kept in the basement, but ollapsedbackbonetopology is used, in which the core switch in the basement is linked directly to the workgroup switch on each floor.
Several users are connected to a switch on each of the 10 floors. The share an Oracle server and 7 File, Print, and Email servers in the basement.The users on different floors are running a 2 Tier Oracle application. We willstudy the performance of this application.And showed me the error message in pictures (3) I asked the doctor and she told me to change the Switch name (located in the red box in picture) but still error constant I think the error is due to the type of Switch (core switch) or the type of link between the (core switch) and (7 File Print & Email Ervers)
I have to propose/design a network system. It has 350 computer terminals/workstations out of which 300 of them are divided into two separate networks while the other 50 are to be on another network. So I assume I'd need 3 networks (or LANs) I guess (all connected ofcourse)So far I've inferred it needs a mail server, a file server, a print server, a DHCP server to assign IP addresses (C class and private ones ofcourse) and a web proxy server. Also I thought a fast Ethernet LAN network might be ideal here but I'm not quite sure on that (nor have I ascertained what sort of topology or hardware to use).

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have Windows 7 with an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 Network Adapter. It can be picky about what routers it connects to but usually it stops being stubborn after a few minutes. Now it won't connect to my building's internet (while my other computer and devices can). My laptop can access any other wifi and internet. Sometimes it can connect to the WIFI but gets no internet and sometimes I cannot connect to the WiFi at all.
1. Sometimes I'm able to connect to router and just not have internet. Sometimes I can't connect at all.
2. I deleted network profile multiple times. Made no difference.
3. Disabled network adapter and re-enabled - Didn't work
4. Updated Net Adapt driver. - Nope
5. Anytime I connect to router the security is set incorrectly to WEP. Troubleshooting tells me to adjust this which I did to WPA2-Personal. Still still couldn't access internet.
6. Tried to ipconfig /renew and ipconfig /release in cmd but says "no operation can be performed on wireless network connection while it has its media disconnected" - so nope
7. Tried a se[erate USB network adapter - No difference. This actually surprised me, I figured it must be my Intel 6200 but alas it isn't.
My biggest hurdle is I cannot access the router. I have to figure this out on my laptop and I have no Ethernet chord ability either. Every forum post I read about wifi issues people always tinker with their router and it fixes it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am a novice to networking. I have a Internet Modem in the basement and two floors of computers. Each floor has its own wired ethernet network that has one wire in the middle of the network reaching down to the basement. The whole building wants to share the internet connection.What devices do you suggest for the basement and for each "hub" on the other floors?Originally we planned to put a router in the basement and share a wifi signal and put an ethernet switch on each floor. But the wifi in the basement has less range than placing the wifi on the top floor. I was contemplating puting a wired router in the basement and a wireless router on the top floor. Will that work?If not we could have wireless routers on each floor, but will they cause interference with each other?Can one be set in the basement to operate on one channel, while the other set on the top floor to operate on another channel?

Blue lines are still not connected...
What I need is to setup routing onto the blue fibre links so that networks from building 1 can reach networks on building to and vias versa. I would also need to implement some sort of redundency since I have to fibre links between the 2 building.
I wish to build a test rig in my office that will act as 2 separate geographic locations with a router at each location connecting to a make believe MPLS kind of network. I then wish for these sites to communicate with each other but obviously be on separate IP ranges .I know each site would have a router and I assume that there ideally should be 2 corresponding (provider) routers on the MPLS network. What I do not know is how the the routers at each site should connect physically to its partner router at the MPLS and also how the two MPLS routers would connect together. For example, if I wanted to later scale up to have 4 geographical sites how would the 4 MPLS routers connect together (using a switch?)?
