Help us to extend my wireless network!

Hello world

After reading a lot of Web pages on this topic and get very confused, I thought that post id here.

I replaced my old separate modem and router yesterday for a Linksys WAG160N. All in all, im very happy with it

Basically, my neighbor is pay their ISP a fortune and hardly uses internet at all. Ive offered for them to share mine (both to provide a total consent, im not doing something questionable!) that I have a very large download quota and this would save their money.

Now the 2 houses are separated by an alley, but the distance between the router and the computer is about 6 m. Strangely, my WAG160N is not carried as far as my wireless network does not appear when they in their House on their laptop!

So after reading about bridges wireless / wireless Extender range and all sorts of things im now very confused.

I'm looking for essentially the most cost-effective way to extend the signal of my WAG160N, possibly through a second router in my garage) to allow the neighbor get a good signal. I cannot reposition my router/modem from its current location and also unable to connect a second router by an ethernet cable, do wireless.

So, is there a way I can connect my WAG160N wireless to another wireless router in order to extend my signal for my neighbor to use?

I was watching the Netgear WN2000RPT and the WRT160N that someone else had previous success with using it as a Repeater.

Thanks for reading! I can't wait to hear any suggestions

UPDATE: Connecting 2 routers with a 10 m ethernet cable works. Is it possible to eliminate the use of this cable?

  • Airport Express - to extend the wireless network

    Hello

    I have 1 Airport Extreme, make a wireless network and I have 3 Airport Express, to extend the network.

    the Airport Express Terminal 2 have connection whit Airport Extreme. The last of them is too far. The last of them can connect to one of the Airport Express 2 located in Pentecost Airport Extreme connection to expand further?

    Sorry, but no.  The distant Express which is too far can connect to one of expresses it airport who are already extending the network... so that it can be used for AirPlay or to connect a USB printer. .. .but the distant Express cannot "extend" the wireless network and provide additional wireless coverage.

    Ideally, your network could have AirPort Extreme, placed in a central location in the House, and each Express which extends the network would be located approximately the same distance from AirPort Extreme... and... ACH Express would be closer to the AirPort Extreme to another Express.

    If this is not possible, then you need to look at a wired Ethernet cable solution for at least one of the Express features, or an Ethernet Powerline solution if you cannot run the Ethernet cable.

  • How to reconfigure wireless network extended with several base stations

    I have a wifi network in an Airport Extreme wired to the modem from our Internet service provider and an Airport Express Terminal extended wireless in another part of the House. I recently added a second Airport Extreme (also extended wireless) to boost coverage in another area of the House. I want to have the Express and the extreme second each wireless connection directly to the base station to the modem to have the shortest path to the main base station, but the Airport utility network diagram seems to keep showing the network of linearly (main Extreme base - second extreme - Express). So, two questions: first, represents the schema of utility Airport the signal path real (linear Express by Extreme II, then to Extreme II/modem)?  And secondly, if so, how to reconfigure the network to have both Express and Extreme II forking the extreme base I directly, rather than having the food by Extreme II, then Extreme I Express. The network showed that the desired branched network yesterday, but today went back into the linear trajectory. I tried a simple drag and drop graphic to move the Express, thinking that surely the Apple would implement such a simple, logical and direct way to manage the network, but no. Have not seen another way to configure the network manually, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

    It is very important to understand that Apple "extend a wireless network" works on signal strength.

    In order to have the AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme to extend the network of the 'main' extreme wireless, two conditions must be fulfilled:

    (1) the AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme extension should both be on the same relative distance of the extreme 'main '.

    (2) AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme extension must both be closer to the extreme 'main' they are to each other.

    In other words, a well put together would have your "main" AirPort Extreme in the middle of the House, with a Terminal AirPort Express on one end of the House and the AirPort Extreme to the other end of the House.  In this configuration, the two airports are about the same distance from the extreme 'main'... and... "" oth extending airports are located more close to the "main" airport that they are with each other.

  • my airport express does not extend to my network

    Hello to you all guru out there...

    I 5g internet and comes with the router and signal is fantastic in the main lounge, but it is a large apartment and once I get my room the signal decreases considerably.

    I bought an Airport Express and it connects to the wifi perfectly, green light and everything, but it does not extend my wifi network...

    Do I need to have another Aiport Express hooked up to the main router, then extend the Airport Express wifi or should I get an Airport Extreme?

    Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Do I need to have another Aiport Express hooked up to the main router, then extend the Airport Express wifi

    Yes, the "main" AirPort Express should be connected to your router using a wired Ethernet cable connection, permanently. This Express will be set to "create a wireless network.

    Other Express your distance can then be configured to "extend a wireless network.  In its current form, your existing Express is configured to "join a wireless network.  It will work for AirPlay like that, or allow you to connect a supported USB printer, but it cannot extend a network provided by a third-party router wireless.

    Regarding matching them things, it would make sense to use two airport expresses, or the two extremes of the airport.  The extreme might be your "primary" router if you wanted to, but the Express would not be able to expand the capacity of faster speed to the extreme.

  • Extension of wireless network with 2 capsules of time falls internet router

    I have a fiber broadband from the Danish supplier, TDC. A port on the router, I connected a TimeCapsule 1 generation and one of its ports, I have a cable to a new TimeCapsule in another room. The first TC is set to create a wireless network and the new TC is set to extend a wireless network. Both are on the same wireless name and password and both have the clipping value. This is according to the instructions that I found here on the forum.

    HOWEVER. When you use this router configuration mentioned above keeps falling and interruption of the Internet connection. What could happen?

    If I let the TCs create two wireless router maintains a stable Internet connection.

    On each TimeCapsule, there are a number of devices connected to their respective ports. All IP are chosen by DHCP. I assume that the router is the only DHCP server and that the CHT are not IP for connected devices.

    Any help to solve this is appreciated.

    To connect nr2 nr1 TC but not the TDC router. The ports on the TC are just parallel connectors (except the one that connects the modem). Then you must set both to create a network: you have two networks.

    Then give them the same name and password (or not, what you want).

    When you want to extend the network, do not connect the cable to the nr2, but you should put nr2 where he received the Wifi of nr1 and then extend it. This also works, but is much less bandwidth.

  • Join an extreme of airport wireless network a/c

    I have a brand new a/c bought Airport Extreme just before Christmas that I expected to use to reach my a/c current wireless network, however the installation options do not work on OS x and IOS. For clarity, I did create a quick screen recording and put on youtube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD3S48IAXz8 , of the installation failure... is it a broken product or has apple silently deleted the possibility of using the extremes of the airport?

    My approach is this:

    Step 1: force the update of the firmware to 7.7.3 (corrupt snack)

    Step 2: reset (everyone on the forums to talk about this)

    Step 3: try to join a network, no tool, not even an airport IOS tool won't let me

    Any help is appreciated!

    AirPort Extreme can "extend" the wireless network produced by another router from Apple... but the "expand" function will work with 3 third-party products.

    AirPort Extreme could be able to 'join' a wireless network from Apple... even though it really doesn't do anything when it does, because the only thing that works is the USB port... but it will not 'join' a 3rd party network.

    The AirPort Express, which is used for AirPlay was designed to "join" virtually any wireless network.

    Maybe if you could tell us what you want AirPort Extreme to do on your network, we can offer you a solution... but it will almost certainly involve an Ethernet wired, permanently to the 3rd router part.

  • RE6500 installation problems - cannot find wireless network and wifi protected setup custom exceed 99%

    HII there, I bought a RE6500 rande Extender and wireless network has not automatically shown as the instructions, he will say.

    Ive tried following th online PDF instructions under "Basic settings" and have connected it, so when I go on 'Wireless' under "Connection with the Wi - Fi Protected Setup Button" and press the button on the Extender and the establishment, it does not exceed 99%.

    can anyone help!

Then, I followed the installation instructions and did the whole upward on my iphone (not on the PC as I originally did) and it worked. No problems!  Thank you!

  • Extend an AirPort network

    Hi, I have several devices from the Airport (1 airport Time Capsule 'version 7.7.7', 2 Airport extreme 'version 7.7.7' and 3 airport expresses 'version 7.6.7') that I use in our House. Latest generation.

    My problem is that when I want to expand coverage, I connect directly to the main Airport base station. It's not send me good results because the main access point is located at one end of the House.

    Here's what I want to do:

    Call the main base station (1), and an airport extreme (2) and an Airport Express (3).

    Currently 2 extends 1, and I can't make 3 extend 2. Is there a way for 3 to extend 2? Even if I lose the network wireless on 3, that all I need is to connect using ethernet.

    Currently 2 extends 1, and I can't make 3 extend 2. Is there a way for 3 to extend 2?

    No, not in the sense that Wireless devices will be able to connect to 3.  Wireless devices will be connected to the 2. Another way of saying the same thing is that a network can not be extended twice wireless, the network can be extended only once. Please see this quote from Apple of an Apple support document to confirm:

    Important note

    If another extended ➋ terminal of Wi - Fi is placed between primary ➊ Terminal Wi - Fi and the prolonged use of Wi - Fi base station ➌, the ➌ extended station basic Wi - Fi will allow not guests to join her. All extended Wi - Fi base stations must be direct scope of station primary base of Wi - Fi

    Even if I lose the network wireless on 3, that all I need is to connect using ethernet.

    Implement the 3 AirPort Express to "join a wireless network", not "extend a wireless network. When the AirPort Express Terminal "attached" to a wireless network, it will not provide additional wireless coverage, but the LAN Ethernet on the Express ports are enabled, then it is possible to connect any Ethernet device to the network in this way, use the Express for AirPlay, or connect a compatible USB printer. Here, I assume that you have the latest version of the Express A1392, or the previous version of A1264.

  • Cannot set the Airport Extreme to extend the existing network

    Network WiFi of my holiday home is provided by the router from my ISP (Time Warner). I have an Airport Extreme, which used to be configured to provide the WiFi network to another well, and I would use it to extend the existing on the TWC router network.

    I had a lot of trouble to do a factory reset on the Airport Extreme, but I'm sure I managed (by turning on with the pressed reset button) after several attempts. At least the extreme doesn't show signs of the old network, he has provided.

    When I try to set it up in the Airport utility, he wants only to create a new network. If I click on 'Other Options' and select 'Add to an existing network', the next screen is titled "This Airport Extreme will create a network" and prompts to enter a new network name and password. (Specifying the name of the network current generates an error because the network already exists, as I expect for the creation of a new network.)

    Any ideas on how to tweak this Airport Extreme by extending a network?

    TIA,

    Doug

    P.S. I have reviewed plugging extreme in one of the TWC router EtherNet ports and create its own WiFi network (with the advantage of adding support for 5 GHz), but the last time I tried I lost all connectivity; I'm afraid that the ISP network might protect against too broad network, although the glitch may have been a coincidence. If anyone has experience/ideas on this alternative configuration, I might be willing to try again.

    AirPort Extreme would not be able to connect using a wireless connection and to extend the wireless network of the ISP, but if you can connect the AirPort Extreme to the ISP using a permanent router, wired Ethernet cable, then AirPort Extreme could be used to provide broader coverage of wireless in this way signal.

  • HP Pavilion Notebook 15-p119: Windows 10: since the execution of Windows update, I can't connect to the wireless network

    Hello, HP assistance.

    I'm having a problem with the connection to my home Wi - Fi network. I am sure the problem has nothing to do with my material and is a problem of Windows only.

    Here's the story: I was fortunately with the Internet from the network before and Windows was connecting automatically every time. But since the Windows Update recently it does not connect. Sometimes it says "unable to connect to this network" and then sometimes it comes up with a box asking me to enter a user name and a password. The thing is... I've never set up a password in Windows for Internet access, so I do not know why he was asking me now. I looked around the Internet via my Tablet (which is connected to the same Wi - Fi network fine, with my phone) and found that it is a common problem. And yet, none of the solutions work for me.

    I wonder if the solution is somehow change the settings so that a password is not required to connect to a network. Or maybe enter a default user name and password when the box appears again. That said, the box did not come for a while.

    Help, please!

    Thank you for your query.

    I understand that your mobile phone works well and you didn't have any problems with your wireless connection. After the upgrade to Windows 10, your wireless network is intermittent and will prompt you for a user name and password.

    The guest is not the Internet, but rather to join your network. He is looking for the network name and password.

    When I did a search for HP laptop 15-p119, I was unable to locate this model. Would you please check your model? How can I find my model number or product number?

    After the upgrade to Windows 10 did you all your Windows updates?

    Sometimes it fails to be installed automatically, if you can try running the Troubleshooting of windows update. to maybe gain others.

    You run the HP Support Assistant since the upgrade?

    If the problem persists, once you have established a test of Wi - Fi automatically update drivers Device Manager wireless.

    • Right click on the Windows button in the bottom left corner, then choose Device Manager

    • Click network to expand the list

    • Right click on the wireless adapter and choose put updated driver

    Select "Automatically search for updated driver software" this month may start a download to install a newer driver.

  • Wireless network does not work when I put a password

    Well actually, I use a wireless network at home, and when I try to put a password, it won't let me connect to the internet, but my xbox connect when there is a password there and other laptops don't. When I try to connect by using a non-secure network it connects to the internet, but on any other laptop but mine it asks me to set up the connection, while on my laptop, it goes straight to a connection.

    If you guys can offer me a solution to this problem, I would be very grateful

    Hi Sh4dow,

    You can check out the following link and check if it helps:

  • Airport extreme will reconnect not extended wireless network

    The power to my Airport Express (2nd version; 802.11n) has been inadvertently disconnected and it does not now restore for extended wireless network.  I have an Airport Extreme (802.11ac) that hosts the network.  I have soft, hard, and factory resets to the Express.  Airport utility says that an "unexpected error occurred, try again."  I have, over and over again.  Airport utility finds the Express after a reset.  After initial connect failure, I brought the two devices in the same room.  Should I reset the extreme as well and start over?  V10.11.3 OS X, v. 6.3.6 Airport utility.  Thanks for your help.

    At this point, I would say that you make the Express in the same room as the extreme. Go ahead and perform a reset on the only default Express. Wait for it to finish.

    You should now be able to 'see' the Express in the list menu drop-down airport the two OS X menu bar and on your Mac AirPort Utility. In the menu bar is should appear as something like Apple network NNNNNN. It should appear as a Terminal AirPort Express, AirPort Utility.

    If you get the message "unexpected error", check the following on your Mac:

    • Make sure that IPv6 is configured for: link-local only. You can find this setting in system preferences > network > advanced > Ethernet or Wi - Fi (according to your Mac is connected to the network) > configure IPv6
    • If your Mac is connected to the extreme by Ethernet, activate the Wi - Fi connector in system preferences > network
  • I desperately need help until my extended family of Apple Airport. Any network of experts

    So I'm an extremely loyal apple fan. I pretty much shoot a whole bunch of products for the wireless extend the range of my internet network in the House. I just actually recently bought an Apple 2 TB Time Capsule ("Tall" tower as a) aka (ATCMain) to add to my current crop of Apple routers: year Apple 2 TB Time Capsule (the big one "Flat") aka (ATCExtend) and 3 Apple Express (AE1, AE2, AE3).

    My problem is that I often have a problem with the connection, as the disconnection of the internet. To fix this, I normally go to Airport utility and change the radio of ATCMain signal (channel 11 to 1 or vice versa) or I would go to the internet tab and switch between static and DHCP then back to DHCP click on renew DHCP then update and voila the question goes - for now... Well, it got to a point where it is just ridiculous how I need to keep doing this on a very regular basis, normally I get flack from my cause of family members, I 'insisted' on getting Apple products. So my question is how do I solve this problem.

    As a solution, a few days ago, I bought ATCMain to take the place of ATCExtend. And a little solved 1 problem yet still retained another problem. Here's how the implementation looks like.

    Essentially, hand connect with everything except that AE3 or printer wireless Airport Express is in Mode Client for my Epson printer.

    This has solved the problem of switch me between different Radio channels, I guess that maybe since the two time Capsules have a range more wide an Airport Express Terminal, they are better able to maintain a link between them, solid extending wireless without fault.

    HOWEVER, the problem of the power of the internet is still there.

    My plan is now really invest on just getting the sons of the ATCMain ETHERNET to ATCExtend as well as AE1 (JHWS ROOM Airport Express) while I offer wireless lounge Airport Express or AE2. The Airport Express or AE3 printer will remain the same while we might add 1 more Airport Express and set a cable ethernet to the Airport Express at ATCMain.

    Thus, the question are the following:

    1. I have to reset everything right from the start and start from scratch when I add the Ethernet cables?

    2 should. what settings I change if I Ethernet running?

    3 - is a more reliable method of extending the network to a wireless extension?

    4 everyone here would be able to provide an organization chart on the process to be undertaken?

    1. I have to reset everything right from the start and start from scratch when I add the Ethernet cables?

    Yes, it's totally different configuration.

    A reset will not delete files on a hard drive of just TC configuration on the router.

    You must configure each connected ethernet device properly so that it will be using the bridge to the main router... which I assume is the main ATC. And he must create a wireless network... Use the same name and the same password for all units... I would also recommend for now, you stand for auto wireless channels.

    2 should. what settings I change if I Ethernet running?

    I said for the most part already.

    Airport in the latest Mac OS utility is smart to understand... so long that you start in the order... and make sure the ATV hand configuration is correct, the rest should be pretty much exactly right. If you encounter problems after the screenshots... It is easier for us hard to see real numbers.

    However I don't say all the names, it is short without space and pure alphanumeric. All the passwords are only 8-20 cases of characters and numbers.

    Since Apple is now dependent on SMB network protocol, it is best to stick to the rules.

    3 - is a more reliable method of extending the network to a wireless extension?

    Ethernet is 100000000% higher wireless... This is the ONLY reliable and trustworthy connection method.

    We all try to get wireless... after a while you learn that it is full of gremlins and voodoo... He failed miserably in any network with streaming... to transfer regular data that it might work but as soon as you get in the media... Forget it.

    4 everyone here would be able to provide an organization chart on the process to be undertaken?

    Reset all airports factory.

    Main airport of installation... Do not use recommended Apple names... call him MainATC and call its ATCwifi wireless (for example)

    Set a proper password according to the rules above... a simple sentence of your last film interest.

    Make sure that it is functional and reliable.

    Plug the second TC... Run the installer...

    Change the name to something suitable... Not recommended Apple name.

    It should automatically discover it is the configuration via ethernet to the MainATC and select bridge on wire. If this isn't the case, we can change it later.

    Verify that it works correctly.

    Plug the first express.

    Change the name to something suitable... Not recommended Apple name.

    It should automatically discover it is the configuration via ethernet to the MainATC and select bridge on wire. If this isn't the case, we can change it later.

    Etc.

    When you do the wireless device that will be very good... Place near the airport nearest you, and run the Setup program to extend wireless.

    Make your client mode device to connect to a printer.

    Post screenshots of everyone who gives.
