EA3500 router in Bridge mode

I will put up a second access point as at one end of the House's wireless signal is weak. I wired ethernet to the field. I have an EA3500 I'm trying to installing in bridge operation so that it acts as a WAP only. I tried this 10 times now. I have everything set up (SSID, pass phrases, channel, etc. and it works very well at that moment as a 2nd router.) As soon as I then put it in bridged mode, it becomes essentially a "router with an ethernet switch" wireless radio turn off (according to the tests with WiFi Analyzer). In addition, you can get is no longer at the admin page - and Yes, I know to use local access instead of the wifi chip. I use the new IP address of the router (I have a DHCP reservation for it on my main router). I gets to the sign in page, choose connect locally, enter the password, and he's going to 'pending' forever. Every time I do a factory reset and start over. There is no newer firmware than what this EA3500 comes with. It's obviously a serious bug with this model or a hardware problem. The documentation says that it works, and radio work fine until I turn it on in bridged mode - then they will switch off. The lack of access to the admin page (with her just enter "waiting") is also very frustrating. Each reset and return to work as a router - but I don't want two NATs on my network as my work WHAT VPN is not going to work through it.

Anyone else tried mode on a bridged and got EA3500 it actually works? If so, how?

Thank you!

Jerrykham,

There is a bug in the firmware that causes that when you select "obtain an IP address automatically".

You must select "specify an IP address" and then enter the required information. Example: IP 192.168.1.2, netmask 255.255.255.0, default gateway 192.168.1.1 dns 8.8.8.8 (google public dns).

The bug has been reported for more than a year and Linksys refuses to fix it. The bug affects EA3500, EA4500 and E4200v2 and perhaps others.

    I have a small home network with the E8350 (AC2400) and a PK5001A of Qwest ActionTec modem.  I needed to put the router in Bridge mode to enable NAT in the modem works properly.  By simply disabling the NAT in the E8350 network broe.

    When you have done this, you probably have a new ip address of the primary router. See what she is looking at the main router connections or by manually adjusting it 192.168.1.2 or some other ip that is in your network. If the primary router uses a different subnet as 192.168.0.x, then you must use an IP also in this same range.

  • Linksys X 3000 not able to bridge mode?

    I have a router in wifi linksys X 3000 for over a year and I decided a few days ago to fill my ISP modem-router with this X 3000 to use as simple access point.

    This post is mainly to make clearly evident that the X 3000 wifi router cannot run in bridged mode, it?

    I ask just a yes/no answer.

    I think that the answer is "", but not totally sure that since I was surprised to see that all the messages on the lists seem to converge and finally to see the page

    2. Make sure that the DHCP service is disabled on the secondary router

  • Weird Bridge Mode

    I had successfully set up my ea4500 in before bridge mode.  Recently, I had to use it as my main router and reset it to do this.  When I tried again to configure it in bridge mode, I had a problem.  I put to the 'bridge' Mode and set the IP 192.168.1.2. subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and gateway IP to 192.168.1.1.  When I hit enter, I got an "invalid IP address".  After several times to tryinbg, I called Linksys that after having tried several other things, a technician told me also enter "192.168.1.1" in the slot to DNS1.  I've never had to do this before, but it seemed to work.

    Someone at - it a reason why I should do.

    The two links are "official" links  The link I posted suggests different ways to configure the bridge mode.  Maybe we are just differing by samantics.  Yes, the diagram show a laptop connected to the Ethernet, Lan-to-Wan port.  Howefver, is not the only way to use the router connected by a bridge once it is implemented.

    In the link you suggested the second to the last paragraph reads "setting the router in Bridge mode disables the guest access.  When cascading of routers, specifically using LAN to LAN connection, affecting the second router bridge Mode would not allow access for customers.  However, guest access is allowed if the connection type is LAN to WAN. »

    I do not use the guest access, is not important for me.  I am only using the accrss as a SSID wireless point in this part of the House.  I've installed and used the router bridge lan-to-lan mode in the past with good success.

  • How can I configure my Airport Extreme in Bridge mode (use the 3rd party router)?

    Data sheet:

    Airport Extreme - v 7.7.7

    Luma Surround Wifi 8

    I recently bought a wifi (luminance) surround system.  It comes with 3 routers that you place around your home.  Unfortunately I still have stains died in my house I'm looking to add my Airport Extreme (AE) to Luma network.  Is it as simple as plug the AE to the network (via Ethernet) and the bridge mode selection in the configuration of EI?

    I can see the AE of my iMac, and it is green.  How do you know that actually extend the wifi of my router Luma range?

    I searched the forum and all messages dealing with this are several years old.

    Thanks for your time...

    Basically, you want to create a mobile network with your Luma and AirPort Extreme routers. As you said, the extreme would need to be connected to the luminance by Ethernet and reconfigured as a bridge.

    In addition, the following are also required on the extreme:

    • Wireless mode: create a wireless network
    • The network name must be the same as that used by the Luma.
    • The type of wireless security and the password must match that of the luminance as well.

    To 'know' that the extreme extends the network of Luma, simply consult the BSSID value in the drop-down of OS X Wi - Fi. It must match the ID of the airport on your base station. Note: You must hold down the option key before clicking on the icon of the free Wi - Fi connection.

    Here's my setup. Draw yourself a diagram please

    I have a model axis video camera server box 2401 connected with RJ45 to a Linksys WAP54G AP in the barn.

    The WAP54G barn then bridge to an another WAP54G wireless in the House.  The WAP54G home is in AP mode. The WAP54G barn is in bridge mode.  MAC addresses are entered correctly in each.  Same channel, no encryption.

    The WAP54g barn is 192.168.1.57 static

    The WAP54G home is 192.168.1.244 static

    The WAP54G home is then RJ45 connected to the RTP300 master of LInkysys wireless router

    Well, I figgured it myself late last night

    I made some changes on the server AXIS... and to the LInksys router

    • Server DNS changed on the axis to match the IP address of the router is 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 now
    • change the front entrance of the port on the router to TCP only

    don't know who fixed it but it woks on the internet

    BTW once I have the port forward to the internet, the server can be seen on the internal IP address

    ASA 5505 > 2950 Switch > AP1300 > AP1300 > Switch2950. With subnet 1 this senario works very well.

  • The most convenient airport in Bridge mode lose packets

    Hi all.

    I have an airport extreme with the version of firmware 7.7.7 (later at the time of this announcement). My modem ISP settings are blocked and it is already fixed to make routing/DHCP/Nat, so I use my airport extreme in Bridge mode to avoid the double NAT (it connects connects to the ISP with DHCP router).

    Both the ISP modem/router and Airport extreme are creating two different 'wifi networks", which belong to the same network (192.168.0.0).

    I can enter each of this Wifi network, obtain an IP address in both cases and start using the internet.

    However, when I use it on my ISP router, everything works perfectly, however, when I use it on the airport network, it fails from time to time.

    If I start ping an external IP address (e.g.: 8.8.8.8), I've never lost a packet on the network of the ISP router, but I lose packets often on the airport extreme network.

    Also, if I ping the ISP of the airport extreme network router I lose packets from time to time. Sometimes also vice versa. I never lose packets when ping the router whose network providing I'm connected to.

    All the settings on the airport extreme values by default (except that I created an additional network of 5 GHz).

    Can you give us some advice as how to solve the problem? I read somewhere that disable ipv6 connection sharing could solve the problem, but it didn't. Thanks in advance

    If you have the Ethernet cable from your ISP router that is connected to the "O" on the AirPort Extreme WAN port, unplug the cable and plug it into one of the three ports LAN <>- on the airport to see if this will help with the issue.

    However, if you have the Ethernet cable from the ISP router already connected to one of the LAN <>- port on the AirPort Extreme, then you'll need to reset the AirPort Extreme back to default settings and then set up again.

    If you have any further questions, the Airport extreme is defective and must be replaced.

  • Bridge mode breaks down wireless network

    I have a Time Capsule of 4th generation, I am creating an additional wifi network at the back of my house to cover a dead zone.  I'm not trying to extend an existing wifi, I seek to create a new wifi network but have it on the same network range as my network existing.

    My ISP is a router that I have in my basement that has wireless on it. .  It powers up to one router links AC that all my devices connect to.  Then, this device provides wired and wireless access to most of the House.  However, I have a task of dead at the back of the House for the wifi.  So I have an Ethernet cable, which goes to the back of the House and who connects in port WAN on the Apple Airport Extreme / Time Capsule (4th gen).   If I set this device to create a new wireless network in bridge mode, it works for about 20 minutes to an hour and then causes a sort of problem on my network and all my other devices go crazy.  If I disable the router from Apple or back to NAT, everything's fine.

    The only reason why I don't want to do this NAT device is because if I put it up to NAT then devices connected to the apple Airport extreme will have more access to the apple TV on the main network.

    So I need no more shots on why the bridge mode does not work on the router from apple or I need to know how to get Apple TV visible on two different IP ranges at the same time.  Unfortunately, the Apple TV can be connected to both wifi and wireless at the same time.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Bridge should work fine... I would suspect that your TC gives signs of decomposition.

    It is now more than 3 years old which is the best before date.

    Try again using static IP method... I think it is more successful than the bridge.

    Should be enough information in this post... but if not just give me all the IP info from the existing modem router to. I can then give you specific info to set the TC.

  • Second Airport Extreme in Bridge mode, ethernet ports does not

    I have two routers, I want to use. The first is a time Capsule (old model 2 TB) connected to a single cable modem. The second is an Airport Extreme (also a little older, the 'flat' last body model until they began to sell towers). Both have the 7.6.4 firmware.

    The problem is that I want to use the second to extend my network, but I don't want to use wifi. I have the second of the WAN port connected via an Ethernet cable to the network served by the time Capsule, but when I launch the extreme in Bridge mode with a Mac Pro plugged into one of the ports ethernet to the extreme, it says it is not connected to the net.

    Y at - there a trick to getting the second router work ports ethernet when used in this way?

    Thanks in advance!

  • No comments in Bridge mode network

    I'm not able to maintain a network of comments on my AEBS. If I use the bridge mode on my ADSL modem, then the guest network is visible but not able to be reached by any user with or without password. If I try to use the bridge mode on my AEBS then I have a double NAT error

    The only way that the AEBS can provide a wireless network by using the Guest network feature is if the airport is configured to act as a router. This would mean that the router mode on the airport must be set to DHCP and NAT.

    If this setting produces a view of Double NAT, then your "modem" will also provide a DHCP and NAT services... and the modem must be configured in Mode bridge true to allow the AEBS functioning on the network.

    Unfortunately, a number of "modem/router" cannot be set to run in real Mode bridge, your first task must be to find out if it is possible to configure your router/modem to operate only as a simple modem in Bridge Mode... and if he can bet set up this way... 'How' to do it.

    If the modem/router was provided to you by your provider of Internet Service (ISP), you will need to get with the people of support at your ISP for answers.

  • Time Capsule backup disabled on Bridge mode

    Hi all...

    I have a 3rd generation (A1355) Time Capsule and I connected on a D-Link DSL-2520U router which is connected to my DSL via PPPoE internet connection. In order to get my setup working, I had to put the network on the bridge mode settings. Since my backup Time Capsule does not work, and when I try to manually force the backup system, it is said: "the backup drive is not found. Make sure that the backup disk is connected, or select a different backup disk. »

    When I try to put the time Capsule to DHCP, it is said: "the DHCP range you have entered conflicts with your base station WAN IP address."

    Now, what can I do to get it working again?

    Bridge mode is the correct setting of the time Capsule, but you changed the 'path' that has been using Time Machine to locate your Time Capsule on the network, so that it can not find the time Capsule.

    (Gear on the dock icon)... open Mac system preferences

    Open Time Machine

    Click Add or remove disks

    Under the backup disks, click to select the current backup drive

    Click on remove the disc at the bottom right of the window

    Close the windows

    Restart the Mac.

    Then, go to time Machine again as above, click select disk and select the backup drive that you want to use, and then click on using the drive.

    Wait a few minutes for a backup start, or if you do not want to wait... click on the "clock" icon Time machine at the top of the screen of the Mac, and then click Backup now.
