• routers and access points and bridges and lions and tigers and bears oh my

  I studied and I'm still lost. Help please.

  I want the following configuration.

  Bedroom #1: contains my cable modem and a wireless device (wireless router I think).

  Bedroom #2: notebook with built-in wireless.

  Bedroom #3: several components (computers, printers, etc.) that are located on a wired LAN.

  What is the only wireless device that I can add to local wireline in the bedroom #3 for the device on the lan connect to internet through the device wireless in bedroom #1 and also connect to the laptop in the room #2.

  I want to all devices in the home to be on the same network (net sub?)-simple file sharing, sharing printers, etc.

  After hours of searching the Internet, I still don't know if the required device in the room three is a wireless access point, a wireless bridge and a switch, a wireless bridge and a hub, a tin man or cowardly lion.

  Lost in Oz, waiting for the Wiz (i.e. you)

  The Tin man would be the ideal solution. It could carry the USB with the information in both directions.

  Without Tinman, it gets complicated. You have several options. Ideally, I would recommend to connect a cable and not rely on a wireless bridge. It saves you more wireless bandwidth, is faster and more reliable. If it must be wireless:

  Option 1: Get a wireless, as the Linksys wet bridge. A wireless bridge connects to a wireless network existing and bridges the computer connected to the bridge across the network without wire on the other side (i.e. your router, other clients wireless and internet etc.)

  Option 2: Get a more flexible as the Linksys WAP access point. WAP can be configured as a bridge but also as repeaters and other modes. A WAP browser may be preferable to a WET if you also want a stronger additional wireless signal in the 3rd room. However, a WAP browser is much more expensive and more complex to configure.

  If you want only by cable in the 3rd room or the first room wireless signal is strong enough for the customers in the 3rd, just a wireless wet.

  To connect these devices wired in the 3rd room get a switch. Do not get a hub (if you get one free somewhere). Today, most of the devices are switches in any case, I guess. Never connect a real hub in a wireless bridge. A switch manages all the traffic between the devices connected to the switch directly in-house. A hub can cause additional traffic sent across the bridge...

• The router access point wireless bridge

  Hi I recently moved into a new building which has a few hot spots for the Internet connection is included in the rental price. I don't have a model of linksys Cisco wireless-G broadband router. WRT54G2 V1 and I am trying to create a wireless bridge between the point of interest (I have my own Unique Internet identifier) the router, which is then connected to my office using an Ethernet cable.

  Can I create a wireless bridge, if yes, how can I do this?

  Thanks in advance

  The router (WRT54G2 V1) does not have a capacity of wireless receiver so you will need a separate ethernet bridge.

  Your installation should be like this:
  (((WiFi)))---> (((pont Ethernet<-wired connection-="">routeur Linksys<-wired connection-="">ordinateur de bureau))

  I hope that makes sense. XD

• Time Capsule bridge and access point?

  Hello

  I have a question about the network wireless of my TC. Our provider has installed a new router. These router can not work as bridge, telephone and TV are also connected to this router. Because 2 wifi networks do not work, I wonder what is the best set-up for the network? The Capsule is connected to the router by ethernet. It is configured as a gateway. Before I used the TC to connect to internet. Now, I have disabled the wi - fi function and use the ISP connection. It looks good, only backups are a little slow now.

  -What is the best configuration for the TC in an existing network? So that I can put it off the wireless of the TC or the ISP router: can I use the TC-wifi (create a new network) or wifi existing ISP router to connect with wireless devices?

  -Do I lose speed when I'm with 2 devices on my network: TC as the ISP as a router and Access Point.

  (I always thought that 1 unit for router and access point is the best configuration.)

  -Are faster backup copies using the TC wireless or it does not matter when I backup on the wireless ISP?

  Some maybe stupid questions, but thanks in advance. Greetings.

  Because 2 wifi networks do not work

  Many people think that this is the case... but this isn't so.

  You can use several wireless networks... all attached to the same router. There is enough bandwidth available in the channels wireless for the operation of 3 different wireless networks nearby each other... and using 5 GHz adds much more.

  The Capsule is connected to the router by ethernet. It is configured as a gateway. Before I used the TC to connect to internet. Now, I have disabled the wi - fi function and use the ISP connection. It looks good, only backups are a little slow now.

  The configuration of TC in bridge is correct.

  Do not turn off the TC wireless... Provide a different name for the ISP wireless router and connect your computer... then you can get internet and make backups on the TC without overloading the ISP router wireless.

  -What is the best configuration for the TC in an existing network? If I disable the wireless of the TC or the ISP router:

  Turn on Wi - Fi in both.

  A physical configuration, it is recommended to have say separation of 1 M (3 feet) between the ISP router and the TC to a min. But it would be even better to have the TC at near the Mac who performs backups TM and related to the ISP router with ethernet.

• Wireless access point / bridge

  -Very well, please excuse my confusion / ignorance.

  I have two Linksys E3200 - connected to the network; a sequence of switch, firewall, internet, Server master.

  The issue and the need is how would I go to do a single wireless network?

  Would it be a main router and the second access point first? Is that my vocabulary is not what it should be, a bridge?  And if I'm not mistaken, the Linksys E3200 does not support the option to 'bridge', Yes?

  Our COMPUTER technician has set up routers to imitate each other, but we had some problems with them and he is out of town.

  Your help would be very helpful.

  Just so that we are on the same page - what I'm trying to do?
  A single network WiFi - two Linksys E3200 running - for example:

  • John Smith walks the coast East of the building, to the West.
  • John is assigned an address IP of ROUTER1 (East side), and John walks constantly the same address IP ROUTER2 arriving (West side).
  • No signal, no renewed address, same pattern drop.

  Thank you

  Update the firmware on the E3200 and see if there is bridge mode. If it isn't, use cascade of LAN to LAN.

  Hello

  I have a question: I would like to connect my old wrt150n as an access point on a different floor of our House because of a bad signal to the second floor of the wrt320n.

  Is a cable modem connected to the wrt320n. I would like to connect wrt150n wireless to the wrt320n, so children can connect to their computer for the wrt150n wireless...

  Is it possible to configure?

  No, it is not possible... Router Linksys will not communicate wirelessly with another router.

• RV110W access point / bridge mode?

  Hi guys,.

  I have a few questions on RV110W.

  I would like to install wifi on my local network access, I have gateway with wan, web filtering etc. etc.. I just want a good wifi access point.

  So why I want to equip with a RV110W and not a normal access point? It's just my boss want mandatory limitation of the internet access of planning by hours, days ~ ~ and guest access. Another detail, my local network have not all dhcp.

  So, in the first place. Can I plug my lan rj45 on switch of RV110W port for internet by my current gateway?

  If I set the limitation of the internet, has done this job of feature on switch port wireless access?

  If I put the dhcp on RV110W (for example 192.X.X.5 to 192.X.X.10) and I identify the ip address on my other gateway for internet access (filtering fortigate), can I put the dhcp on RV110W only on wifi or it will assign ip on other devices on my LAN?

  Thank you very much!

  Hi Ash, you can connect the RV110W by a switch port to another router.

  Dhcp RV110W is not customizable to the point where you can specific to your other router IP of the gateway.

  If active RV110W dhcp would provide DHCP what accept DHCP.

  You may want to look into WAP121 or WAP321.

• Access point

  Hello!

  Today, I received the WAP610N, but I have some problems...

  I have my router to the ground level and a Repeater to the first floor, both work very well. Now I tried to connect my PC (PCI WIFI n card) which is located on the second floor of this network, and I thought that it would work with the Access Point.

  Is there a way to do it, or am I better with giving it back and get a PCI card? I really prefer to use the WAP610N, because I could just plug in, and I don't have to use a PCI of the WLAN card slot.

  The WAP610N is an access point. It is not a Repeater or a wireless bridge.

• Subnet routed on the main gateway of the WiFi Access Point

  Hello people.

  I have the wireless router WAG200G. It sports a RJ-11 input and a four port RJ-45, while it is compatible 802.11 g.

  I need to use it as an Access Point, WiFi via DHCP clients accommodation in its own range (I fear not the 192.168.1.x default range). However, I need to give this subnet, access the internet via my main network which has another Beach, say 10.0.0.x, where the entry door is 10.0.0.2

  I tried the subnet routing WiFi to my front door, but apparently I'm missing something I ever managed :-)

  For those wishing to help could you please tell me through this page http://ui.linksys.com/files/WAG200G/1.00.09/Setup_routing.htm ?

  FYI, I got the Linksys in my network off main application everywhere (Linksys & PCs) static IP, nat and affecting encapsulation Bridged Mode only. That's how it worked, but for security reasons, I need to isolate this subnet WiFi.

  Any kind of help would be appreciated.

  If you used the WAG as point of access only with standard Linksys firmware, then you cannot use the DHCP server. The WAG will always assign its own IP address as the gateway via the DHCP server. The only option would be to use the DHCP relay function or set another DHCP server.

  As long as the WAG is connected through a LAN port to your existing network you connected side full LAN of the WAG in your network. You don't want to run any DHCP server on the WAG. Your main router provide DHCP service. If your wireless devices have trouble getting an IP address from your main router, which should be the first thing to solve...

• IP E1200 as access point ranges

  I have a Cisco 880 (provided by my company and as such, I have little access to the control panel). I have a Linksys E1200 (Cisco) to use as an access point. Installation of Cisco (love it!), but the simple configuration gives the E1200 a range of ip addresses from 192.168.1.1 while Cisco 880 range is 192.168.185.113. I need to have connections in the same rage of ip (192.168.185.xxx) for remote monitoring. What is the best way to achieve this? Bridge mode (I have no need to Mode of reviews I've read is not possible in bridged mode)? Disable DHCP on the E1200? I've been roaming forums, but there's still a few confuson. Guidance gratefully received.

  Hello

  You have two configuration options for the desired configuration. You can make the LAN to LAN (cascading) configuration or in Bridge Mode. Well the 2 types of installation are the same. The only difference is that you must manually configure all on LAN to LAN setup.  It includes turning off DHCP and manually configure an IP address for the E1200 (which will be the secondary router). Configure the router bridge Mode automatically disables router functions and sets the router as a simple switch/access point.

  For me, I will configure using the method of the Bridge Mode. It's going to be much easier that way. Please click on the following links learn more about the waterfall and Bridge Mode:

• Set up home network of multi access point

  Recently, I cut the string so to speak with directv and is passed to a streaming cable through view PlayStation. However this left me with a little slower network I want to. I have a 3-storey house in a crowded area and my cable modem is on the lower floor.

  Currently, I have a linksys ea3500 connected to a modem cable in the basement. I have a family room on floor 2, where I connected PlayStation. On the third floor, I have a Roku in the bedroom for live tv broadcast and also a Home Office.

  I can work around 70mbps down when connected via Ethernet to the ea3500 on the ground floor, but a signal wirelessly on the second floor is about 25mbps down and falls to 15 or so away on the third floor.

  I ordered a new router (wrt 1900ACS) and also a netgear powerline 1200 kit. My plan is to connect the line adaptor to the ea3500 and place another line on two ground adapter. To which I would link the wrt 1900 and run as an access point for the existing network. I would also link the PlayStation to the wrt1900 through cat 5 to improve the reliability of the connection.

  My hope is that this will greatly increase my speed of download available in the House. We are connected fairy and at any time have probably 10 to 15 devices (tablets, phones, laptops, TVs, desktop, nest, etc.)

  Given my current gear (and the warning that I won't have to run wires through the wall or through the vents) is the configuration I describe the best way to increase the signal strength and bandwidth bandwidth/speed? Does it matter if I use the new wrt 1900acs as a slave to the ea3500, since it will be connected via the power line to the ea3500 lan port? Should I just unplug the ea3500 and only use the 1900acs on the Middle floor and connect the power supply line direct adapter to the cable modem?

  Any idea to my plan or recommended changes to my plan would be appreciated!

  It's good then let the EA3500 and add the WRT1900ACS in via PowerLine Bridge Mode.

• EA6500-double WUMC710-WRT310N as Access Point

  After getting a Smart TV for my basement last year, I was unable to get a proper my WRT310N wireless signal.  I had the WRT310N on the second floor with my desktop PC.  Wifi should reach the basement, but not good enough to stream hi-def movies.  To remedy this, I bought a router of EA6500 and the WUMC710 bridge to replace the WRT310N.  I put the EA6500 on the ground floor, the bridge in the basement and I was using Powerline to access my PC upstairs.  I become disillusioned by the stability of the signal by current bearer of the PC upstairs, so I bought another WUMC710 to my floor.  This configuration is therefore works very well, EA6500 ground floor with of two WUMC710, one upstairs and one in the basement.  The only problem I have left is a wifi dead spot in the master bedroom.  I not was too concerned about the place of the dead since we do not use wifi in the bedroom very often, but I recently heard that it is possible to use my old router, the WRT10N, as an access point to extend my range of wifi.  I followed some instructions of the internet to get the WRT310N set up as access point (disable DHCP, configure phrase password and security, the same as on the EA6500 router).  I then used the power lines through a signal ethernet of the EA6500, the son of AC, in the House of the masters of whetre the other carrier current module online is now connected.  I then connected the WRT310N to this Powerline online and the WiFi in the room was now nice and sharp.  Note that this WRT310N is out now wifi in the main room, while in the corridor on the other side of the second story sits the WUMC710 bridge, which is connected to the EA6500 via wifi. At some point during the day wifi stop working throughout the House.  My suspicion is that the WUMC710 passed the EA6500 wifi signal and picked up the WRT310N wifi.  The only way I could get wifi back working again was to unplug the WRT310N access point.  Is there a way to put bridges (WUMC710) so that they will only connect to the EA6500 and NOT the WRT310N?

  Hello. Given that both routers are set up with the same wireless name and password, your WUMC710 will connect to one of them. If you wish, you can configure - your WRT310N with other wireless name and password so that your bridge will connect with EA6500. This should help.

• WET11 V2 cannot be connected to the AP (access point) via WiFi

  2. IP address 192.168.1.5 = WET11 (automatically not static)

  BOF WET11 V2 assigned IP address access point.
  I checked the access point access point IP attributed to WET11.

  3 TV IP address is automatically.

  But the IP address is unaffected for television.

  4 WET11 firmware version = V2.05 (Sep 16, 2003)

  Problem:

  1. IP address cannot be assigned for television.

  2 WET11 is not the answer for the command 'ping 192.168.1.5' WiFi access point.

  3. I did ping command when the LAN TV cable has been replaced by the wireless access point LAN cable.

  It is not advisable to use a 802. 11B wireless bridge on a device such as your streaming media TV. Connection will be very slow and is probably the reason why you have a hard time to connect to your wireless router that's more compatible with it. I suggest using a Wireless N bridge or a multimedia wireless on your TV adapter so that you can fully appreciate the media streaming.

• Access Point WRT1900AC &amp; Firmware version: 1.1.10.167514, it cannot be accessed the config page.

  Hello!

  I am a new user of router dual-band WRT1900AC . The installation has been updated instantly to
  Firmware version: 1.1.10.167514
  Release date: June 30, 2015

  My WRT1900AC is configured as a wireless gateway.

  https://community.Linksys.com/T5/wireless-routers/WRT1900AC-as-wireless-access-point/TD-p/847286

  Also, I have disabled firewall and uPnP.
  A tutorial here:

  http://www.Linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=140371

  Everything works except that without access to the router config page.

  The problem is, I can't access my page to config WRT1900AC Wireless Access Point and the only solution is to connect temporary exit HAND ROUTER LAN to WAN WRT1900AC, can I access my AP

  (after restart of course). Change after I return the cable to the LAN again and restart WRT1900AC. This works.

  Yesterday, I spoke with live chat. I received recommendations:
  "Once the router is configured to bridge fashion, page configuration accessible only using its new IP address. The new IP address can be found on the main router DHCP table. It is because only in LAN - LAN, the

  WRT1900AC will be his disabled DHCP. »

  I also saw Table of customer routers main DHCP but I have not found the IP address of my wireless WRT1900AC Access Point there. I think it is a bug in the version of the Firmware: 1.1.10.167514
  Page config in the case of WRT1900AC Wireless Access Point is isolated or possible only thanks to the WAN WRT1900AC. It would be nice if someone confirms that and maybe in the next version of

  fix. :-) I have a beautiful smartphone App "Smart Wi - Fi" and I can not comfortably use it due to this error/bug.
  Otherwise everything works well and stably.

  Hi chadster766!

  Thanks for your suggestion and a quick response. I have a feeling it would work then as you described. But how to set Internet settings in mode Bridge? I've already put a static IP address router IP address WRT1900AC. I see it with IP scanner.
  If I leave the cables as you suggest (hand router LAN to WAN WRT1900AC), the Internet does not work. In this case go to the config page, but Internet with other devices will not work. Also good Wifi, it works but can not access. How to set the Bridge Mode? (I think this is my problem in this scenario)

  IP address of the router (LAN):

  Connectivity-online-online details router LAN => Edit

  * If your main router IP subnet example is 192.168.0.x, then set the address of the WRT1900AC IP to an IP outside the range of the main router DHCP. Ex: 192.168.0.2

  Bridge mode:

• WRT600N advanced routing problems / use as Access Point and switch

  Firmware 1.01.36 build 4 The WRT600N is connected to an existing LAN and is really only used as a Wireless N access point. There is nothing plugged into the WAN port; only the LAN port. I have NAT disabled. All traffic from a client connected to the WRT600N wireless going very well for the gateway and the Internet router. The customer experience is very good. However, there are a few minor issues as follows.

  1] Setup > Advanced Routing tab has only the following options; to do this, * not * have a picker 'Mode '. NAT, static routing and dynamic routing (RIP).    IS this NORMAL, OR should HAVE a MODE (e.g. switch) AS REFERRED to IN THE HELP FILES?

  [2] even if a connection wireless or wired to the WRT600N works very well, the WRT600N himself is unable to connect to the internet. It cannot connect to NTP to set the time and I can't ping past the gateway router using the ping of the WRT600N diagnostic utility. I ping the gateway 192.168.1.4 port inside, but I can't use the diagnostic the WRT600N ping ping utility something beyond this gateway port. The routing of the WRT600N table is below. THE GATEWAY SHOULD NOT BE 192/168.1.4? HOWEVER THE WRT600N DON'T ME LETS NOT CHANGE IT.

  Destination LAN IP Subnet Mask gateway interface

  192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.71 LAN & Wireless

  127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 * LAN & Wireless

  Topic 1. Linksys, used to have a mode option to switch between the modes 'Bridge' and 'router '. The latest routers call it now better NAT power. Gateway mode means THAT NAT is enabled. Router mode means THAT NAT is disabled. The help files are probably a little bit over. But the option is still the same.

  Re 2. It's normal if you use it as only access point (i.e. do not use the WAN port). The router always takes into account that the internet connection via the WAN port, i.e. it will always use the default gateway on the WAN port. If nothing is connected to the WAN port on the router itself has no default gateway and therefore has no access to the internet. Generally, you are not able to establish the default route in either advanced routing page. It is a known limit of these routers if you do not use as a router.
