Cascading Linksys router to another router (LAN LAN)

My current set is the asame LAN - LAN as in this link... http://KB.Linksys.com/Linksys/GetArticle.aspx?docid=785463d9ecaf4cac84aed245b08d615f_3733.XML

my 'main' router is defined as DHCP server only, and wireless is disabled on it. This router is in the basement.

my "secondary" router is in the living room... The DHCP service is disabled on this router and this provided routers beams for the House at 2.4 and 5 Ghz wireless... allows to call "Network 2" SSID 2,4 and 5 what we call "Netowrk 5".  Wireless coverage is really good in the whole of the House except basement. I would like to do better in the basement as well.

In this current set up what could I do to make it better. As the "primary" router isn't beaming wireless I might add another router 'third '?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

He should choose the height of the 2.4 GHz SSID or the SSID 5 GHz, but only in the case were two router have the same SSID for the 2.4 Ghz and the same SSID for 5 Ghz. (Remember separated SSID at 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz signals)

It can be confusing, so here's an example:

Main router:

2.4 Ghz SSID: myhouse

5 GHz SSID: myhouse_5gz

Linksys router:

2.4 Ghz SSID: myhouse

5 GHz SSID: myhouse_5gz

When a wireless client moves around the place he will switch to signal the harder for SSID it finally connected to.

  • WRT1900AC OpenVPN sees only not the side of the router LAN

    I have a WRT1900AC with the OpenVPN server, put in place.

    Can I access with my laptop running the OpenVPN client on the internet (the router is in one State other than me).

    I ping the hotspot side WAN, internet access at the router.

    I can't see or ping devices on the side of the router LAN.

    The address of the router LAN is 10.2.3.1 which I can not ping when I am connected through the OpenVPN client.

    The OpenVPN am assinged IP is 172.19.13.3 and the DHCP server on the LAN router is not a fixed range of 10.2.3.35 to 10.2.3.50 with cameras with IP in the range of the DHCP server.

    I guess that once I connect to the OpenVPN server in the router it automatically will fill for the devices connected to the router ports, is this correct? Y at - it a setting I need to change?

    Thanks in advance!

    The router firmware is up-to-date (we keep turned on the auto update feature).

    Today, I can access the devices connected to the router ports via the VPN.

    I do nothing else than yesterday, but it works... so for now, the issue is resloved...

    I guess I had the correct settings.

    I hate it when things get fixed, but I don't know why!

  • W7 PC on the router LAN port cannot find connected wireless OJ Pro 8500 has more router suite upgrade

    My broadband provider has replaced my internet router with a new one with dual N band Wireless LAN GigE ports and. The 8500 a printer has been successfully connected WPA Wireless and works very well with a laptop Windows 7 Sony connected wireless and Apple devices.  However neither the desktop PC connected windows 7 Dell LAN or even Sony laptop when it is connected to a router LAN port can find the printer.  I tried to reinstall the printer software with the latest version on the site of HP OJ8500_A910_1315 and the installation fails as auditor of network environment cannot find the printer. I ran the diagnostics of HP network with two firewalls in the PC and router disabled without success. The LAN itself seems to work OK as the PC can meet, Exchange files and and can access the internet.  The router has been checked by the technical uupport of the broadband service provider.  The printer is visible as a network connected device in Windows Explorer so you expect the HP software to see. The only option to set the printers IP address and use it in the installion process or is there other settings that I can change to get the HP network environment checker works correctly?  Thoughts would be appreciated.

    Thank you very much.  Unfortunately the router (a BT HomeHub4) does not have such a context, in the hub Manager, which is accessible by the user but I have now found it has the ability to set the IP address of a wireless device if I did. I reinstalled successfully on the printer to all computers.

  • Problem with access to the camera on the net via dsl modem and linksys router

    OK, I read all posts here on what to do in this case and think I have tried everything. I have an Actiontec dsl (verizon) and a v2 wrt110 router. I can see the camera locally, but not on the net. I had it hooked to another place but with cable service broadband with no problems.

    I think that the problem of my lie with ip addresses.

    Camera 192.168.0.115

    Router 192.168.0.1

    Modem 192.168.1.1

    The port forwards on the modem MUST be set to port forward to the IP Address of the Linksys router. It should be only the modem IP can see, so it's the only place you can move forward from the modem. What exactly is in this drop-down list in the config of the modem port forwarding?

    The problem is that there are two distinct here networks once you are inside your modem. There is a network between the modem and the router. Allthat is on it is the modem's ethernet interface and the port of the Internet router (or WAN). There is another network on the side the router as your PC's LAN, camera, etc. are on. All know the modem is how to get to the network to which it is directly connected to. While you could add a route staic on the modem to tell him how to get to this network, the modem must still know I have oprt route traffic to your camera to the router.

    Hello

    To my knowledge, the router first with the data from your ISP.

    If done correctly, you should be able to connect to internet via LAN cable.
    Did you check that first? Do this!

    So if you can properly connect to internet via LAN cable, I would recommend set up the WiFi network on the router.
    There is a will to put the SSID (name of the WLan) encryption settings, MAC address filtering, firewall, etc.

    If these settings have been configured correctly, then you could try to configure WLan settings on your laptop!

    Hi all

    I know that you've all probably seen this thread before. (I know I have).

    I have a WRT160N v3 Linksys router and it keeps disconnect them and then reconnect. It disconnects wireless only. LAN still works fine.

    I tried many different methods to solve this problem, but none does not seem to work.

    I'm very disappointed with the quality of the product. He did everything since it was purchased. I personally would have sent in for repair, but others in my household would not have agreed to that.

    Additional features:

    -Firmware Version 3.0.03 (no later than as of July 2010)

    -A a SSID set to broadcast

    -A encryption WPA2-Personal

    -Mixed-mode network

    -Width of the channel set to Auto (20 MHz or 40 MHz)

  • Windows Vista Home Basic Edition, Acer laptop wireless, Linksys router and connect Lexmark X 9350 wireless network.

    I'm tired... I tried everything I can think of, as well as everything I can find online in order to connect my printer Lexmark X 9350 WiFi for my Acer laptop which is connected to my home network wireless via my linksys router. At the same time, the printer has been set up through my existing wireless network and was working properly. (FOR A SINGLE DAY!) Then I got the bright idea to installNorton Anti Virus Security. Since then, my printer stopped working through the wireless network. It works as a stand-alone Copier and fax machine, but nothing of the printer.  I contacted Lexmark via online support, but their suggestions did not work or were so confusing that it would take a computer technology to interpret the instructions to correct the problem. I learned more about the Wi - Fi networks and computer by trial and error, I should be able to re - connect my printer the eyes bandaged.  Help, please... This problem is ongoing for weeks. Thank you so much in advance.

    Just a thought, as you say it started with Norton check his firewall exceptions:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

    Have a read of the link above re Vista file and printer sharing.

    Permissions/Share info is there as well.

    If you use Norton, make that file and printer sharing is enabled in THE Firewall (or LAN enabled, depending on how their Exceptions are formulated in their firewall)

    See you soon.

  • Port Forwarding issue with HP Photosmart C7250 / Windows 7 / Linksys router

    Help, please! I worked on this problem with HP, Microsoft, No - IP.com, etc with no resolution.

    I have a 650 workstation DELL computer in office which has been recently formatted and had a clean install of Windows 7 will be of all installed updates. He is running Free AVG 9.0. There is a Linksys WRT54GS Wireless with disabled DMZ and Port 80 (only) active.

    I have installed no.-solution of IP.com for the creation of a hostname to point to my dynamic IP address.

    I need to have Port 80 go to the IP address of my PC so that I can set up synchronization option Wireless of my CRM with my iPhone and Blackberry. Instead, whenever I created the public IP address or host name, it brings me to the Web Interface of my HP Photosmart C7250 printer. Even, I assigned a static internal IP (and DNS) address to the printer (192.168.1.101) but no matter what I do Port 80 goes into that compared to the IP from my PC to 192.168.1.110 which is the IP in my router.  The printer is set up wireless on Channel 6 (WEP encryption).  UPnP is disabled.

    I called HP and they said, there is no place that port forwarding is enabled. This doesn't seem to be the case. I tried to change the internal IP address of the PC to 192.168.1.101, but it had nothing works (could not ping or pull up the Web Interface for HP). I tried to add a different port number and it doesn't work.

    I need Port 80 to connect to my IIS server. Microsoft says that this is but another State Tech that disrupts the HP software. From the HP Web Interface, it is what appears when I type in my host name or public IP address and it's not going to my PC, then I have a tendency to agree.

    FYI... I unplugged the printer and now when I try to ping the public IP address, I always get a response (even after half an hour of the printer being disconnected). Please HELP ASAP! Thank you!!!

    Solution - on secondment in case anyone else ever runs into this.  Update the firmware on the Linksys router did the trick!

    From and upward... FINALLY!

  • Wireless printing to a printer via linksys router.

    OK, let's go.

    I have a MBPro, OS X 10.6.2 connected wireless to a Linksys wrt300n, a Dell 2400 XP Professional desktop computer, connected via RJ45 to the same router and a HP Office Jet 6310 all in one, connected via RJ45 to the same Linksys router.

    My problem is that I can't print wireless from laptop.

    The devices can ping each other (so Im assuming they can all the commmunicate, and it isn't a firewall problem). The laptop sees the printer, it can connect to it, see the functions of administrator, he can see the power levels and network configuration settings, it can not all just print anything.  The laptop can print when you set up as a standard printer (not wireless, but wired).  When I add it as a wireless printer, it says 'network host ' 192.168.1.101' is busy. retrying in 10 seconds".

    I contacted Linksys and they do not feel it is a problem of router, so I wonder if this is the way Im set up the printer (configuration, c, PPI vrs DLP).

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    Ok... I figured it didn't off... no need to answer.  I noticed that there was another protocol to use to set up the printer on Mac, I was using LPD, so I switched it to HP Jet Direct-plug, and it prints fine... Thank you.  I'm curious to know why wouldn't LPD; If someone has that answer, I'd like to know... Thank you
