2nd router security wireless settings

Hi, hope someone can answer this for me.

I have a WRT 610N - and I just set up a 2nd wireless router (E3000) to extend the range of my wireless network.

Same SSID, same subnet, DHCP off etc.  Everything works very well.  The network passwords I set identically.

My question is: what security settings should I apply on the 2nd router?  for example I have MAC address filtering on the main router connected to the internet, the WRT 610N - should I ask this on the E3000 also?

Thank you

1. wireless filtering MAC is useless anyway. Do not put in place. It only of the problems to you. (You need to put in place on all routers/access points)

2. setting up personal WPA2 with AES and a strong password. It is safe.

3. set up the identical SSID and security setting wireless on both for a roaming network.

4. choose different channels at the same time, if you use static channels to avoid interference.

5. check that the SSID broadcast is turned on.

    Worked well. I pushed the button to restore the factory settings, have now no wifi. I have disconnected/reconnected all the modem and the router. I have the router and wireless internet.

    I solved my problem! After resetting my router again I have it connected via ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports on my computer. I typed in routerlogin.com. This guided me through the installation program. Thanks to all who tried to help.

  • Router WNDR3400 wireless Port status showing does not the wireless settings

    Hi all

    Recently my SSID name is not recognized (2.4 and 5 GHZ). These had been configured manually. Looking at the Port of Wireless Router Status indicates that it is empty. I've reconfigured the Basic and wireless settings and I still don't see the SSID, etc. in the wireless Port. Example: The name (SSID) WirelessNet2G. In the wireless Port name (SSID) and any parameters are empty.

    It wasn't a problem until a week ago, when my wireless connections said "out of range".

    Thanks for any advice.

    Please close this post. Applies the settings default, and re-installed.

  • modem router WAG120N wireless security configuration

    I use modem router wag120n but is confused abt how to set up wireless security of it is. Security Wireless Configuration recommended in tutorial given here is very different from what is given in my page of configuration routrs.

    I don't know how to manage the key renewal option. If I leave as 3600 seconds does that mean that I have to enter my device a new key wireless connected to the router after every 1 hour?

    Well well with firmware linksys/cisco security gateway wireless configuration seems even that is mentioned in the link provided: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&app=vw&vw=1&login=1&json=1&docid=7b0d8344c5524f75a8d5b... . But if in case it looks different let it me know what exactly what you see in the configuration page.

    Group key renewal determines how many times your group exchange key. The renewal time should not be too short or too long. The default is 3600 seconds.

    You don't have to deal with the renewal of key. It happens automatically. Customers do not lose connectivity, just the key for the changes of the connection. You won't notice. The longer the interval longer guarantee the link (in theory) as a striker who wants to break the encryption key has less time and less data to work on...

    But once again: it does not affect customers wireless connected. It's all past automatically just as it happens when the connection is established in the first place.

  • HP Deskjet 3050 - unable to connect to the WPA secure wireless network

    Hello

    My first post here so please excuse any misstep on my part.  I bought this HP Deskjet 3050 a week ago and have since been war with it.  I would be really grateful if someone could possibly give advice on how I can solve this problem.

    I am unable to connect the printer to my secure wireless network, even if the other computers, cell phones, etc. are connected without problem.  I tried WPA, WPA2 and WPA2-Mixed modes with the same failure security. Specifically, the 66% reached Connection Wizard, then displays the error that the wizard can not find/network printer.  If I disable the security, the printer connects very well.

    I use a Linksys WRVS4400N router with firewall and associated firewall disabled settings.  The router broadcasts on 802. 11 g / N mixed mode.

    I install the software provided on the CD for installation on a Windows XP SP3 System.  I confirmed that the PC and the printer are connected to the network are the same.

    The issue as well, if you will allow me: I have not yet tried these drivers, but I see there are any updated drivers for the printer in date from 14/12/2010.  The release notes indicate the improvement of networks, but do not develop beyond that.  Does anyone know if there was a known problem with the connection to secure networks that has now been corrected?

    Finally, just a note that I am partially blind and using a screen on all systems reader.  I'll try my best to be as helpful as I can to please forgive me if I can't find the settings, etc. on screen and sometimes need help for a little more detail.

    Thanks in advance for your help, I really enjoyed.

    Have a nice day,

    All the best for now and take care,

    Hussein.

    It is not the fact that it is impossible, is the fact that this was not done, yet.

    Hello

    first of all, my apologies for the delay getting back to you.  Poor health means that I had little time or want to do great thing on the side of the computer of htings.

    In any case, I am please to say the problem with the HP 3050 failing to connect to my network is now resolved.  There seems to be a bug with the installer, and that seems to include the version the most recent publication Dec 2010.

    To resolve this problem, I did the following:
    1. disable all security for the network options, so it's just an open network.
    2. connect the HP 3050 to the network by using the installation wizard. This time it connected OK for me.
    3. Locate the IP address of the printer.  I used the table of customer list accessed by my router interface. You may be able to get this through the printer on the menu screen, but as I am partially blind, it wasn't an option for me.
    4. Enter the control panel of the printer to http://ip.address.of.printer for example http://192.168.2.108
    5. under Advanced options, configure the network settings, including the password and the Security Protocol.  Don't forget to enter the SSID of the network exactly as it is configured on the router.
    6. apply settings, disconnect from the control panel of the printer.
    7 log in the router configuration panel and re-apply the security options.  Make sure they match these match those entered for the printer.

    I hope it will be useful to others in the same position.

    Thanks again for your time.

    Best,

  • Problem with WRT 300N (V2) wireless settings

    Greetings,

    I just managed to reset the WRT 300N to default settings and have configured the connection internet etc and the network... BUT no matter how I fiddled with the wireless settings, I can not laptops or mobile phones to connect wirelessly to the network.

    The Windows software on laptops "finds" the router OK but for some reason any router seems unwilling to provide an IP address.

    I checked ALL the settings that I can think of, and all are correct... Well, all of them are exactly the same as my old router which worked perfectly.

    It's something that I think muxt be to do with security settings.

    Can anyone offer any suggestions?

  • HP Officejet Pro 8620: Unable to wireless settings

    I tried to go into my wireless settings so I can connect to a new router, but the wireless configuration wizard continues to display the error message "the service has been locked by the administrator or the person who set up the printer. I not locked it and I am the only user of the printer. The wireless configuration wizard and Wi - Fi Protected Setup are stored.

    I then tried to do a hard reset, that did not work. And try to restore network settings using the embedded server HP only deleted my old router connection without giving me more options to configure the new wireless settings. Can anyone help?

    Hey @JF08, Hello and welcome to the Forums of HP!

    From your description, it sounds like a complete reset may be necessary. I don't know how it got locked, but the easiest way is a factory reset.

    There are a growing number of messages in this forum and elsewhere in the internet with the steps to do a reset on different printers.  Reset to will sometimes fix problems, so resetting is not the issue.

    A few resets require you to enter key combinations to open special menus on your printer that you were supposed to never access.  These special menus are used by developers and staff support for debugging of problems, but they are not intended for inexperienced users and can have unexpected results.  A wrong button push and you might no longer have a printer, but rather an expensive paper weight.  On top of that, if you happen to the 'brick' the printer in this way, it is considered as customer induced damage and voids the warranty automatically. These resets are only intended to be distributed and used as a last resort and under the direct instruction of a representative of the HP technical support. They should not be made lightly!

    My printer says that your wireless router requires a WPA security password. How do I do that? My printer was working fine and now it says offline when I want to print on the printer it self says its not connected

    Your WPA paraphrase is in your router under Wireless tab. You need to access your router via its web page and look it up. It's the same when you connect your computer to your routers SSID.

    I want to put in place access invited to my router E2000, but only for a few friends, not my entire neighborhood. When I created originally by Cisco Connect, I was able to set up an account with a password, but it shows up in my registration non-secure wireless - you don't need the password to access. Is there a way to password protect the connection without comment thread?

    Yes, it does not appear to be unsafe, but in order to be able to surf you need generates the Cisco Connect password.

    So no, it is not open, but I think they are always connected to the router, and that's not good either.

    "Is the reason to do outside the DHCP IP address simply to avoid conflicts on the network for devices that obtain their IP addresses automatically?" - Yes.  Not only devices take the IP addresses of DHCP, but there is usually a lease who get these devices which reserves the IP address for them for several hours or even a day, even if they disconnect and reconnect.

    Another way to get around this is to reserve an IP address from the router for a specific device.  That works too, but is more difficult to teach people to do because of the variety of interfaces on routers.

    Once that tell you the printer to ask 192.168.1.200, you are finished.  Your laptops and office will be able to find the printer with its new IP address.  If they can't let me know...

    Hi abcd_bruce,

    Thanks for stopping by Apple Support communities. I understand that you are eager to implement the feature Auto Unlock on your MacBook Pro. It is a new system and I'll be happy to help you with this.

    Looks like you did a few steps already to help lift this step. In this article, automatically unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch, he goes over all the steps that must be done to implement this place. If you already followed all these steps and are still problems, then the next step would be to start the Mac in safemode, and then check if you are able to see the Apple Watch see the implementation of the security and privacy preferences.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    Have a good night!
