Connection with a switch EZXS55W or a second router WRT54G to my router network WTR300N home?

I have a home office in my basement with my computer connected to a lan of my WRT300N router that is set up on the first floor and networking with three additional computers to the floor as well. I want to add 2 additional computers in my basement and wireless is not a good set upward because the signal strength is very low. I have great reception on the floor and even on the second floor where my children are connected from their rooms. My question is: I have an older WRT54G Router I use is more and want to know if I can connect it to my WRT300N using the lan line ran down in the basement which is connected to one of the Ethernet ports of the WRT300N? If so, how the connection and set up the second router? Also, I can use Ethernet cables to connect my three computers to the second router or what I need to use the wireless of the second router? I was looking at the switch EZXS55W at the Wal-Mart local and thought that was my answer, but after a search through all the answers of the basis of knowledge here, I'm confused on the approach to take and which one would be the best game for me. Here, any help would be great!

With the EZX you extended your wired LAN. You can still use the WRT54G to add another point for other cable ports and wireless access. Just do these 4 steps as stated in my previous post.

You can connect the WRT54G the WRT300N or the EZX. Basically, it's all the same. You don't have to turn off the switch before you connect a device.

If you want to use the additional wireless WRT54G, you can try to set up a roaming wireless network. Implement the WRT with identical settings as on the WRT300N wireless, i.e. identical SSID and wireless security the same (preferably WPA2) personal with a good password. Do not turn off the SSID broadcast on either WRT. Only the allocation of channels should be different at a time to avoid any interference. Now the devices should be able to move from one access point to another without losing the network connection.

However, if you perform this configuration test carefully. I don't know how it works if you have a N Router and a G. If this does not work, use different SSID on both. You can then choose which SSID to connect to on the client.

    Hello

    Keep the changes and open the wireless. For example, to disable security in the router (turn on when to managed to connect).

    You can also try the wireless in a friends house, or an Internet café to get a frame of reference for this behavior elsewhere.

    -------------------

    Wi - Fi in general.

    These steps and tell us where is the breaking point.

    Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

    ------------------

    The wireless card drivers much also install utility wireless of the seller.

    Make sure that if there are teas from Wireless Utility of seller does not work with the native Windows wireless utility (Service WLAN).

    ----------------

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled).

    If possible set up the firewall correctly, otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

    If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    party like Hello and NetMagic 3rd network managers can block local traffic too.

    ---------------------------

    Stack TCP/IP work should look like.

    Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/status-NIC.jpg

    Description is the data of the card making.

    The physical address is MAC of the card number.

    The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

    YY should be between 0 and 255

    ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

    The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

    * Note 1. IP that starts with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx isn't valid functional IP.

    * Note 2. There could be an IPv6 entries too. However, they are not functional for Internet or LAN traffic. They are necessary for Win 7 homegroup special configuration.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    A message in the small window that says connected wireless doesn't means that you are really a valid functional connection.

    Above everything is OK, you must be able to connect to the router.

    Connection to the router means that you can enter the IP of the router base in an address bar in one go, being able to connect and configure the router menus see.

    If it doesn't connect to the router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    Enable security wireless after you eat to make a functional connection.

  • Connect with independent switches vSwitch

    Hi all

    I am a newbie in VMWare and really not had in networking. Need your suggestion kindly for our VM infrastructure plan.

    Here's what I have (or will have):

    I create a small cluser (2 ESX, each with 6 NIC host). There are 2 stacked Cisco 3750 and stacked 2 4524GT Nortel on our farm in GE switch. Up to now, we have 6 virtual machines, but we intend to put all the servers the VM infrastructure.

    That was my previous plan:

    I did some research in the documents of VMWare and BBS.  I plan to ESX hosts connected to Cisco units, their link to GE in 2 units of the evening. Configure NETWORK adapters, port channels, load balancing, etc...

    An incident has changed my mind. A month before our network, group support updated nortel switches firmware. It's a nightmare. The Nortels 2 were dead after the upgrade. Had to pass all connections to the server of Nortel to Cisco and roll after that the call of Nortel has been set.

    My question:

    So let's say that sometimes the stackable switches will be dead together. Yes, I can connect an ESX with Cisco and another with Nortel. When stacked Cisco or Nortel is dead, we have yet another host working with switches lived. But I can connect an ESX with Cisco and Nortel? It seems more stable, isn't she?

    For example, I intend to use the 4 NICs for production and other for SC and VMkernel network interface cards. The production of 4 network cards are rising in a vSwtich. Failover and load balancing works when I connect nic0 / nic1 with Cisco and nic2 / nic3 with Nortel?

    My recommendation:

    Configure NETWORK adapters, port channels, load balancing, etc...

    Forget it. No team, no port channel. Just configure the uplink as junction ports ports and set the VLAN on the virtual port groups. VMware ESX (i) (with standard vSwitches) performs Round Robin load balancing based on the original default virtual port code, which is sufficient in most cases. With dvSwitches, you also have an option to configure NIC database load. In both cases you can use ports on all physical switches without having to think about making active configurations / standby at all.

    On the beat of the heart. Usually, I connect the Service Console to a vSwitch with 2 physical uplinks, each on a different network card and everyone to another physical having redundancy switch. What I actually do is to put the Service Console and VMotion that vSwitch and configure groups of ports for active / standby to ensure that each of them uses a dedicated NETWORK adapter unless there is a network outage.

    You must also consider switching to (installable) ESXi as ESX will be greater in the future. If you do not need to install agents on hosts etc, the only change will be that you will not have a "Service Console" more. For communication and management, you will have a «VMKernel network management» instad

  • connection problem computer windows 7 to switch ezxs55w

    I have a simple wired network with a switch ezxs55w transmitted to a befsr41 router.  My win 2K system and a network canon printer work very well on the switch, but a new dell running windows 7 does not have a connection when it is connected to the switch, but it does not work when plugged into a port on the router.  When it is plugged into the switch there is no light on the NIC computer.  Switch seems to recognize something that all three leds for the port lights but turn off immediately and then repeat all the seconds.  The cables and ports work well with win2k computer.  Ideas?

    using Device Manager to access the network card and set the speed on the Advanced tab option to full duplex 10 MB works.

  • How is it that a computer which works very well with a direct Ethernet connection won't work with a switch, however any other computer using the same port, cable, ect, and so on, can?

    Switch issues. Help, please.

    How is it that a computer which works very well with a direct Ethernet connection won't work with a switch, however any other computer using the same port, cable, ect, and so on, can? We already checked the firewall as a question, that it was not, and now, we are puzzled.

    Well, I know that the issue is long-term... believe me, it's a long, but as they say, the devil is in the details. Anywho, the question is, my grandfather has a HP laptop, which for two years has been able to run through a Linksys switch to his router and connect its printers to his laptop. About two months ago it suddenly doesn't work like that. Now, it works fine if it plugs directly into the router/Ethernet. My uncle suggested that the switch was bad, but after testing the same port, cable and all, the switch worked well for him. ' GRAMPS really needs this answered, but someone else, it is called can not understand and now I, in turn, ask you all for what you can offer. Here are the ideas that we have already discredited.

    -Switch bad: as above, is that this particular laptop, even under identical conditions, the works of my uncle very well.
    -Bad NIC: debunked through the fact we connected to the computer directly to the router and it worked fine.
    -Bad configuration of the firewall: we have disabled the firewall (please do not notice, he wasn't the smartest idea, we already know) and even if she recorded the switch exists, the internet is always triggered when you are connected with the switch.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can provide and Merry Christmas to you all.

    It would be useful to consult the results of the ipconfig/all command both when it is connected to the switch and when it is connected directly to the router.  In addition, what is the model of the switch?

    To save the manual copy and the new hits of the ipconfig/all command output-

    First connect through switch.
    Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    Type the following lines in the black command prompt window and press ENTER after each line

    echo "Connected via the button" > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    ipconfig/all > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".

    Now connect directly to the router, type the following lines in the command prompt window and press ENTER after each line

    echo "Connected to the router" > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    ipconfig/all > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    Notepad '% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt '.
    output

    Copy the contents of the Notepad window in your response (if you use the laptop when it is connected directly to the router) or close the Notepad window, and then copy ipinfo.txt of the laptop to the Gramps in a USB FlashDrive you can connect to any computer allows you to answer.

    You can delete ipinfo.txt on the desktop when you are finished.

  • Slow connection with the built in WiFi card

    I have a connection wanadoo adsl internet 20 Mbit family with a direct box. The box is also a wireless router.
    When I connect to the livebox with my toshiba mx40-231, the connection is very slow. The connection is constantly switch between 1 Mbps and 54 Mbps and speeds range between. It is also the problem. One moment an internet page is send in 1/10 of a second and 1 minute later a page to load in 20 secconds! the strang thing is that the intensity of the signal is constant high!

    With the direct box, I also had a wireless USB key. When I use this stick I get a connection very quickly 54 Mbps constant.

    It seems to me that the construction of the wireless card is the problem. I already have the latest wireless driver and tried a few channels on the router.

    Someone at - it an idea to solve this problem so I can throw this wireless stick :-) Thing very clumpsy this stich on such a portable wireless of beautifull!

    Hello

    If you check the wireless card, you will find many topics on this subject. We know that Intel 2200 B/G card wireless make disorders and connection is not constant. We can only speculate why this happens, but the fact is that this card has problems with different routers.

    For example: Satellite M40 has the same card and the fantastic work with Netgear router. Even with Belkin, it works well in full speed.

    I recommend you to install the latest version of the driver Intel

    I have several Dell 2724 switches that I would like to set up redundantly.

    I joined two 2724 s with a trunk. I would now like to connect the access switch with one connection to each of the two switches to shared resources. One cable in switch1 everything works. Put the second cable switch2 and all breaks loose.

    Option1 = Switch2 (LAG)

    Switch3

    Can someone tell me if it works and how?

    Thank you

    This kind of configuration can operate with switches that offer spanning tree or MLAG. But the 27xx series switches do not offer these features. With this type of installation, there is a loop that will cause a continual broadcast storm that will wreak havoc on the network. Your best form of redundancy will link redundancy switch, but you will not be able to get the redundancy of switch with 27xx switches.

    Switch1 SWITCH2

  • With the help of a second domestic airport to extend the network

    I have an Airport Extreme (MD031LL/A), connected to a modem via an ethernet cable and it works perfectly as a WiFi router for my house. I have also an Airport Express (MC414LL/A) I want to use as a second router to extend the reach of the Wifi signal, which works when connected via a cable to the Airport Extreme (continuous green light), but when I unplug the ethernet cable the Airport Express falls out of the network (Amber led flashing). I've updated the router time firmwear and repowered and reset everything, including 'forget' the devices via the Airport utility which I got on my MacBook Pro, but not luck. Books Online says the network should see the second router, waiting with flashing light amber, but it does not work.

    Any suggestions?

    Please note, it is not ideal for me running extended ethernet cable, I would like to as the relay to be wireless.

    I am assuming that you are using a Mac running a current or recent operating system... or... you use the installer on an iPhone or an iPad, right?

    If you want the AirPort Express to extend wireless signal in AirPort Extreme... then you would not use an Ethernet cable to the configuration... Since the installer detects the Ethernet connection and configure the AirPort Express Terminal accordingly.

    However, if you are able to locate the Airport Express where you need more coverage... and... an Ethernet cable from the Express back to AirPort Extreme... which must remain connected permanently... This would be the way to go.  The reason is that you will lose about half of the potential speed on the entire network when you try to Express to extend the network using a wireless connection.

    But, if you can not run the cable, you can not.  If you need a little more advice on installation, after return to confirm how the Express connect to AirPort Extreme and let us know what operating system is installed on the device you will use to configure the Express.

  • Connectivity with AT & T-Motorola 3360 and Airport Extreme problems

    Bought a new extreme-Airport (7.7.3) to replace my old AE after 9 years of service.  The installation procedure, but could not get the airport to connect with my modem (Motorola 3360).  Called at & T and they crossed put me the modem in Bridge mode and which seemed to work.  But only temporarily (about 5 hours).  Restart the modem and the airport was not working.  Troubleshooting I tried to plug my MacBook directly into the modem, but even the computer couldn't get an internet connection.  Another call to AT & T and they reconfigure the modem to their end.  After 90 minutes and try everything they could, they have finally admitted defeat and told me that they could not solve the problem.

    However, after a fairly exhaustive search of this forum, seems to be two issues that many people is with Airport extreme.  One is that the modem (in this case a Motorola 3360) is perhaps not fully compatible with the airport.  The AT & T support person was not aware of this until I asked about it, so she did a quick search and was rather surprised to see that there is a lot of people having problems with the Motorola Modem.  She told me that they use no more Motorola modems but ship the 6200 of Netgear.  "All know issues?", I asked.  She sought and, to his surprise, even once, there was.

    So, first question.  Does anyone know a modem that is compatible with the airport or use one that they had to limit problems with?

    The second question prevailing seems to be with the IPv6 protocol.  Anyone know if there are problems with the AT & T IPv6 protocol and the most extreme airport?  I did not disable IPv6 yet to see if that helps.  I thought I'd ask here first.  Couldn't find anything on the AT & T site.

    When I return from the road (great place to go to get away from technology) I will make a new round of full power of all the components and try Setup again from scratch.

    Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Miss all know profanity.

    Thank you.

    Any other relevant information: 6.3.1 the utility Airport, Airport Extreme 7.7.3, MacBook Pro running 10.8.4, modem Motorola 3360, AT & T high speed DSL, shoe size 11-1/2 wide.

    When you have configured the 3360 as a 'bridge', this would mean that the AirPort Extreme should then be put in place to provide the PPPoE connection service. The airports are not known for their reliability in this type of installation... no matter the type of modem that you can select, so I drop this method as a connection option.

    If you want to keep the 3360... and you have time to experiment... then you can set the 3360 to its original default settings and configure the router from the airport most convenient to connect using DHCP in router Mode of DHCP and NAT.  That will produce what is called a message Double NAT, but maybe it's not of concern on a simple home network, and Apple provides you with the option 'Ignore' the Double NAT, so the airport will display a green light instead a light orange blinking slow.

    You need to try this configuration for a few days to see if the Double NAT will be a problem or not, because it is not possible to predict the effect of a Double NAT on a network... you have to test a few days see how things behave.  If this configuration works well, for you, then you can leave it as what.

    Please note that I do not recommend this type of installation, just suggesting it as an option this work could , if you want to keep the 3360.

    How Double NAT affect IPv6, I can't tell, since I did not use att for several years, and I'm not familiar with their implementation. On wired, IPv6 works fine on the airport with Comcast and Time Warner.  We can provide these parameters for you if want, but have no idea how well... (or if)... they will work with ATT.

    If the installation of Double NAT does not work, your best option would be to go there and get a modem/router or gateway to ATT device and then set up the most convenient airport in Bridge Mode works correctly with the modem/router ATT.  You will turn on the routing of ATT function in this type of installation, but the airport can also produce a signal from the wireless network that you can use.  The modem/router ATT will also provide a wireless signal that you could use for guests, or disable the feature, if you do not need two wireless networks.

    This may also be the best option if you want to configure IPv6 as IPv6 of ATT service must be compatible with the modems/routers and gateways.
