Add WAP300N to EA4500?

I have an EA4500 which are currently operating here at home and you want to add a WAP300N (connected via electrician to one of the EA4500 Ethernet ports) to improve the coverage and 'assign' family members connect wirelessly to one or other of the devices.

My questions are:

(1) the WAP300N may grant a different SSID as the EA4500? (Of course, I want to do what I can tell people that you connect to);

(2) If Yes to the #1 wireless channels should be different between the two? (The EA4500 himself has currently located on Channel 6, which is clear, but if I have to put in place a different channel on each end I am concerned about interference with neighbors who have the AP on the weekends).

I tried to do this year returns with some devices WRT-series G and I remember well the system having heartburn by keeping the AP contacted the main router and also some problems with the SSID assignments. Before I try again, wanted to get some opinions as to if it will work more easily with the new Linksys gear.

Thanks a lot for the tips!

Yes and I would recommend the AP SSID using different channels.

  • EA4500 and OJ8600 of HP printer router interface questions all in one.

    Hello I am running IE11, WIN8.1, 1 TB HD, 12 GB of memory with EA4500 router from Linksys connected to the computer via an Ethernet cable.  The computer is a Lenovo desktop (K430). I ran a test installation of HP troubleshooting on the interface between the computer and EA4500.  I opened my Linksys Smart Wi - FI to perform the following two tasks. The HP Installation troubleshoot suggested I should put MAC address filtering to off I did without any problems. Installation troubleshooting HP also suggested I have find the MAC address of my printer and add it to my list of devices that are allowed to access my networh. How can I do this? Thank you.

    You should make a print from the printer setup page and who should detail you information on MAC and IP addressing. I recommend not to use Mac filtering because it is not necessary. I recommend that you configure a static IP address ON the printer, 192.168.1.86, that should be the default value of routers outside main pool DHCP de.100 thru.199. You will need to refer with the Lim and information on how to establish networks and set up the printer. Consult the user manual as well.

  • New firmware, new problems with EA4500

    I logged this morning to a new firmware on my EA4500. I have disabled the automatic upgrades when I got the device because at the time of the hidden networks was not supported by the firmware of the Wi - Fi chip. Needless to say I was shocked when I logged in this morning. I have no idea how the new firmware had updates since I was the only one on our staff with the password on this device.

    However, I went in the new admin panel MAC filtering section and tried to add a new device to our list. I get "Unexpected error" 2177 when you try to save the updated list.

    Try the Revert to previous FW?

    Safely update FW, I recommend doing the following:
    1 save the router config to the file first using IE or FF with all modules disabled security.
    2 factory reset the router with all devices disconnected or turned off accept for 1 Wired PC.
    3 reload or update the FW using IE or FF. Just download the FW file to your wired local LAN PC.

  • Maximum number of EA4500 of port

    Hi all

    Background: currently have a WRT320N, think about upgrading to an EA4500, assuming a feature has been improved: Port Forwarding.

    Script: Currently, I have a router WRT320N, and while he "does everything we need" it presents a restriction that comes in the way: limits on the number of ports address.  In the Panel of port forwarding, it has 15 total lines: the first five lines can be activated for specifically named services (SMTP, FTP, etc.).  The last 10 lines are fully customizable in that we can define the name, port and Protocol.

    The problem is that 13 total ports that currently, I need to pass, only one is listed in the fixed list.  So, unfortunately, I can only use one of these first five rows.  I have completed ten custom lines and still need two additional ports (for now, may need down the road).

    Try to be creative, I thought maybe I could just more reverses the Port Range Forwarding page and add a line or two.  The only problem: it's bugged.  I found that if the simple Port Forwarding list is filled, then the Port Range Forwarding entries do not work properly.  For example, if I wanted to port 12345 and 12346 forwarded to 192.168.1.5, they work very well with two entries in the single port forwarding.  However, if I delete those, add two lines of port that I need has passed (the single list is new) and add a port forwarding 12345.12346 range, they do not work properly, only ports are closed. The work of singles, the beaches don't.

    Question: The EA4500 has solved this problem and either allow more lines (i.e. 20 customizable inputs instead of 10), or, better, does it just a button [Add entry] to allow additional lines to create?  In the current day and age, where a single device (for example an Xbox) can take four lines, a limit of 10 lines is quite sparse.  Comparing it to some competitors, for example the D - Link DIR-825 (aging, but still a lot) allows you to add as many as you want.

    I realize 'expensive' firewall SonicWall have virtually unlimited customization, but I not need many additional features and don't want to spend $ 350 on a "high-end" firewall to solve the problem you need more ports open.

    Thanks for any help you can give!

    -Dan

    I can't speak for the ea4500, but on my e4200v2 I 15 customizable ranks in more the 5 rows together:

    As the e4200v2 and the ea4500 are essentially the same from what I've read, I imagine that the ea4500 will have the same thing.

  • EA4500 - a wireless device of many with internet connectivity problem

    Hello

    I wonder if anyone can comment on a subject that I have with a (a) wireless on my home network devices.  The problem is that a Dell laptop knows slow or no internet connectivity using wireless at all.  Sometimes 1-2 minutes to load one page, other times the message 'not able to display the Web page' dreaded.  That's using Ethernet.  I have another laptop (brand/model exact even) and it has no problem.  I also have a Macbook Pro and other IOS from Apple (iPod/iPad) devices which are very good.  Several connected Ethernet devices are very good as well.  The laptop in question had no problem with my previoius Linksys devices, which are a BEFSR41/WAP55AG and a WRT-54GS v2.  This laptop was the first day or two on the EA4500, but something happened that causes this problem.  I had to add the WAP55AG on my network so my son is happy again, but my plan was to dismantle the other devices.  Suggestions regarding what I can do to fix this are greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

  • QoS EA4500

    I bought the EA45500 specifically to configure QoS on specific devices by MAC address.  I would like to give preference to the PS3 for online games.  The first time I went to the QoS to the interface of the browser tab, I could start to put in the settings, then after the second or third recorded, the QoS tab has nothing of my settings and accept all the entries or save the settings (see image inserted here)

    I now notice that as soon as I put on the EA4500, he had the v2.0.36.126507 firmware.  During the installation (before the QoS setting), I tried (without success) load new firmware that has been identified.  Today, I see that the new firmware is loaded v2.0.37.131047.

    Anyone can shed some light on this?  Can I restore the firmware manually? If Yes, where can I find it?

    Thank you hiptechboy.  Factory setting reset indeed QoS page, so it was functional, however, I learned a little more I started to restore the configuration.  Given that I had saved configuration settings at various times during the initial installation, I restored it with the last save point which included the 'bad' QoS and the QoS page was in fact still bad. So everything he does gets saved to the backup / restore configuration file.

    As I said, I had several backups, so I took one earlier (before the adjustment of QoS page).  This restoration has a functional QoS page after restoring the configuration. So, I added my first priority QoS settings on QoS page and saved a backup of the configuration.  I added the second priority QoS, recorded on the page of the QoS parameters and save a configuration to the top.  When I added the third QoS parameter and registered on the page of QoS, all my settings have disappeared and the page was more functional.  I must have got the third entry of the QoS the other night, when he 'stop working '.

    This time, I have simply restored from the last save point and again had a functional QoS page.

    So I guess that the quality of service is limited to 2 items.  Add a third and once settings makes this useless page and as I said, it is recorded like this in the configuration backup.  I would like to put the iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad on a lower priority for streaming video is not interfering with the online game of the PS3 (i.e. CoD MW3).

    Matt

    When you get the new iPod, you can use iTunes on your computer to select and synchronize the music you want on it, in the same way that you synchronize your current iPod - your iTunes will recognize them as different devices and will remember your choice of synchronization for each, it will not (unless, for example, you restore the backup of your current on her iPod) put the same content on both.

  • Tips to add a VPN router to my current network configuration

    Dear all

    My apologies if the answer to this question already exists, however, I searched in many situations and none seem to match what I'm after.

    I currently have an ISP modem/router in Bridge mode connected to a TC of Apple which is my wireless router, I have 2 Express airport connected to this acting as the extensors of the range.  I have a VPN service through the MyPrivate network I activate on the desired device when required and everything works fine.

    What I want to do now is to be able to use my AppleTV and burning Amazon via the VPN as well so you need to add a VPN router in the configuration.  I want to finish with 2 wireless networks running together for these devices who need VPN and those who are not.  I don't want to lose the opportunity to extend the network to express it however airport.

    If someone could explain to me if this is possible and if so how do I set up the network.

    Thanks in advance

    Mark

    Basically you would need a device that supports VPN-passthrough and VLANS for your goals of networking. MyPrivate network, seems to be a VPN SSL, which is a user-server configuration. In other words, you install a client VPN on your Mac and you connect to the VPN network MyPrivate server to establish a VPN tunnel.

    Networking two or more "separated", should be using a router that supports VLAN services. Each segment of VIRTUAL local area network, in essence, would be a separate, she either wired or wireless network or a combination of both. This would probably be the 'easiest' part for the installation program.

    Now how combining the two would be the question, and I don't know what would be the best way, or even if it is possible.

    A few thoughts:

    • Use a router that supports VLANS. Create at least two VIRTUAL LAN segments. One for Apple TV & Burns, one for Internet access in general. Connect the device to VPN client host on the first segment, and configure for Internet sharing.
    • Download a dedicated VPN network application that supports hosting of third-party VPN clients, like yours. You would still need a router that supports VLAN to provided separate network segments.
    • Hire a consultant network. Let them know what you the goals of networking and ask them to offer potential solutions.
