can the WRT54GL router be configured to operate as a point of access/switch?

The router connected to the internet is a WRP400, and I've got a WRT54GL connected via PLN to improve the signal. I would like to have the WRT54GL work like a switch and point of access, is this possible? The problem is that, in order to have my TV box work, I need the WRP400 to assign IP addresses. Does make sense, and it is possible to make this work?

Regards, Martin

This makes sense... for many people... probably at least twice a day in this forum...

See here for an answer to this FAQ.

A roaming wireless network set up the two access points with the same SSID and wireless security settings. Choose from different channels, at least 5 pieces, for example 1 & 6.

  • The WRT54GL router DHCP Active IP table show those wired?

    Hello.

    On my old router Linksys WRT54GL (with its latest stock firmware) of http://192.168.1.1/DHCPTable.asp for DHCP active IP Table, it shows that wireless connections. How is it does not show wired those?

    Thank you in advance.

    Make sure that the wired computers are not on the static ip configuration, there is no IP permanently assigned to them. They should all be on DHCP, obtain the IP address of the router. If that's ok. It could be with the fw of the router. I suggest you can reflash but if it does not resolve the issue, reset the router and then reconfigure. Because on the DHCP client table, it should show all the connected devices wired and wireless through the router.

  • Can the NAT of ASA configuration for vpn local pool

    We have a group of tunnel remote ipsec, clients address pool use 172.18.33.0/24 which setup from command "ip local pool. The remote cliens must use full ipsec tunnel.

    Because of IP overlap or route number, we would like to NAT this local basin of 172.18.33.0 to 192.168.3.0 subnet when vpn users access certain servers or subnet via external interface of the ASA.  I have nat mapping address command from an interface to another interface of Armi. The pool local vpn is not behind any physical interface of the ASA. My question is can ASA policy NAT configuration for vpn local pool.  If so, how to set up this NAT.

    Thank you

    Elijah,

    NAT_VPNClients ip 172.18.33.0 access list allow 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0

    public static 192.168.33.0 (external, outside) - NAT_VPNClients access list

    The above configuration will be NAT 172.18.33.0/24 to 192.168.33.0/24 when you go to 10.1.1.0/24 (assuming that 10.1.1.0/24 is your subnet of servers).

    To allow the ASA to redirect rewritten traffic the same interface in which he receive, you must also order:

    permit same-security-traffic intra-interface

  • OfficeJet 6500 e710n: my can´t officejet 6500 detect the wifi router, expire after 20 minutes of searching. The network works

    Hello

    I connected to a router Thomson lapttop two stand-alone and two desktop PC wifi printers. As I can connect to the web

    and surf without problem that the router seems to work at least partially.

    The problem is that printers will not find the router, when I try to configure the printers in the control panel printers, they are looking for the router, but they do not find the wifi (router) connection. After 20 minutes, they then expire without something else facilities worked very well before.

    I called the support to my ADSL provider and they remotely reset the router to factory settings initial but it helps. didn t have tried to turn off the router, printer and laptop computers and then started the router, printers and portable - the same problem. I think that the problem is not in the printers that I have the same problems on both printers.

    Can it be a partial problem with the router, I find that it is unlikely that the problem lies in the printers, because they took place att simultaneously.

    It is a mystery to me and any suggestions are appreciated.

    Hello

    It seems more likely that the question is based in your router as the problem affects two different printers.

    For troubleshooting end please move the printer near the router, but not too close... 2-3 meters would be at an ideal distance for testing.

    If you don't see the router yet, may is a Dual Band router?

    It broadcasts at 2.4 GHz?

    Pleae also run a Test report wireless one of the printer, it may help to get a better understanding.

    In the Configuration Menu, select network, go search for Wireless Test report.

    If you can join an analysis of the results of the tests, it would be great.

    Kind regards

    You will need to go to the menu on the printer control panel and then go to the section wireless/network to change. Sorry for the general response, but without specific identification of your printer I can't advise you with precisely where in the menu to go.

  • Bind the MAC to the static IP address with WRT54GL router

    Hello

    We use the WRT54GL Wireless router to connect 4 pc to internet. One of these pc requires a static IP address, because the router can do only reliable port-forwarding for IP static (I would ssh it and use it as a web server). I was told that this router has this ability, but for the life of me I can't find.

    Could someone tell me how to proceed? I am running the latest firmware (v4.30.11).

    Thanks in advance for your reply,

    Michiel

    DD - WRT is fairly stable and well maintained. There are a lot of people using it and you get excellent support, if you don't mind not very technical responses to opportunities. Generally, the flashing of the firmware does not support the warranty. But that wouldn't be a problem if you have had a bad flash. And even for a bad flash you often have options to recover the router.

    For the static IP address on the computer, change the settings of network to the ethernet interface. I do not know Gentoo you should have administration GUI for this somewhere.

    You can use the following values:

    IP (as mentioned earlier) for instance 192.168.1.10
    subnet mask 255.255.255.0
    address of the gateway 192.168.1.1
    192.168.1.1 DNS server

    As long as the static IP addresses do not conflict with the DHCP server address pool create there will be problems running some static IP computers in the same local network with DHCP clients.

  • Cannot get SW1 to the second network of ping and can't get the HQ router to ping SW1.

    Hello the forum community.  I am new to Cisco Configuration and cannot understand why, in the attached packet tracer file, I can't have my SW! switch to ping to the gi0/1 interface of the branch office router and beyond.  I also can't understand why I can ping to the gi0/0 interface on the router in the branch office router HQ, but cannot ping the switch SW1 and beyond.

    Ideally, I'm trying to configure the network so that PC1 can ping 172.16.1.100, which is a loopback on router HQ.  I ping the closure of the branch office router, but not the switch SW1.  I cannot ping the gi0/1 interface on the router of the branch of the SW1 switch and do not understand why.  I can also ping the gi0/0 interface on the router in the branch office router HQ, but cannot ping the switch SW1 of the HQ router.

    PC1 - 10.1.1.100 255.255.255.0

    SW1 - VLAN 1 - 10.1.1.11

    Branch gi0/0 - 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0, gi0/1 - dhcp assigned as 209.165.201.1 255.255.255.224, dynamic NAT activated with access-list 1 (permit 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255), the pool name is NAT_POOL with the address range of 209.165.201.5 - 10 255.255.255.224 as NAT address range.  I can see it working with debug ip nat active when I ping the router address 10.1.1.1 HQ, although I have test the ping without NAT and it is always successful.  Gi0/0 inside the nat, g0/1 outside the NAT.

    HQ gi0/0 - 209.165.201.2 255.255.255.224, dhcp server enabled to provide an address for the router in branch gi0/1.  I had to add a static ip route 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 209.165.201.1 in order to be able to get the ping to the router HQ to branch router gi0/0 to work.  Don't know if there is a better way to do it, but it's the only way I could make it work so far.

    You will need to rename the .txt file, attached to. pkt.

    Hello

    For me, it looks like it has configured the route correctly;

    ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 fastethernet4 -> for all traffic to the internet.

    Road 10.1.0.0 ip 255.255.255.0 Dialer1 -> for vpn traffic to HO.

    The public_IP_HO must be defined according to the map of encryption using the set by the peers command.

    I want to add is on the isakmp policy hash attribute, you can choose between sha/md5 or whatever available on your device. Make sure that the isakmp policy to match political isakmp of your HO.

    The other thing is the acl for the internet. You may want to consider replacing the deny statement if you want to deny traffic only to your jar currently it is said to deny all traffic 10.10.100.0 10.0.0.0 network, not to the 10.1.0.0 HO (network).

  • iPhone connects to the wireless router but the PC can't

    HI - hoping someone can provide some answers to my problem. This happens a lot.

    For some reason, the awakening of my PC it does not connect to internet or router (192.168.0.1). Restart the PC makes no difference. I have an iPhone that connects very well during all this time (via wifi, with cellular networking turned off).

    This is what happens:

    I go to network and sharing Center to connect:

    [img src = "http://i39.tinypic.com/e031x5.jpg"]

    The sky connection is to me, with an intense sound signal:

    He then quickly says "successfully connected to sky", although the network & sharing poster always the router as "id" and without internet access:

  • Mac Lion will not configure Deskjet 3050 a to the wireless router. Have installed software HP 3 times.

    My Deskjet 3050 series J611j was ooriginally configured with Mac OS Snow Leopard. I have since installed Lion (10.7.3). I inadvertently reset the default printer and it stopped connecting with the wireless router.  I installed the new software HP Lion but when I go through the installation, after that I tell the printer to connect to the router, I get a message saying that the device is not connected to the computer and connect with a USB connection. But it is connected with a USB cable.

    I fixed it by pulling on an old PC and launch the CD. Who got up the printer on the wireless. from there, I could finish and connect with the Mac.  Thank you.

  • who can help me with "insufficient resources to meet the level of failover configured for vSphere HA.

    Hello world

    We tried to gif a 14GB of ram and make server complete a booking for her.
    This is a server for the exams and the vendor told us to do.

    I can't any more then 5500MB reservation on it, when I anymore that I get
    "Insufficient resources to meet the level of failover configured for vSphere HA.

    We have:

    2 X 5.1 ESXi hosts
    Each host has
    2 x processors (8 Cores each) with HT active.
    255,75 GB of Ram

    vSphere HA has been activated.
    Admission control policy is enabled and that the ability to failover is 1 host.

    What is the problem here?

    Thank you
    Ernst.


    Admission control policy is all about to give you the kind of guarantee that if the host failure happens then there will be enough resources to perform the successful failover.

    in simple terms, it comes to reserve the resources of failover.

    I would recommend going through the notion of vSphere HA, reduced control policy the following document.

    https://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-60/topic/com.VMware.ICbase/PDF/vSphere-ESXi-vCenter-Server-60-availability-Guide.PDF

    From the Page number 22, the details that you need to study is given. Focus especially on part calculations Slot size of it.

    in your case you HA vSphere with number of failure of host to tolerate as admission control strategy defined.

    This means system will calculate CPU and memory slots out of the resources in your cluster, and the total number of units, it will keep some resources like reserved for failover, and others will be available to be used. It all depends on how much failure of hosts that you want to tolerate.

    now in your case, if you try to increase booking one of the virtual machine, which will then affect the number of locations in your environment, and so reserved ability to failover is violated, the system will not let you do what you want to do. As the energy on a virtual machine, or growing booking a powered VM etc..

    If you find that you have enough resources in your cluster and due to some virtual machines with very large cpu or memory reservation, number of places is less than you can still manage the settings some advanced in vSphere HA configuration, but I strongly recommend, try to take the help of someone who has done it before.

    also try to go through other admission control strategies which are explained in the document for more inputs.
