Implementation of access point with WRT54GL
Hi all
I am very new to this wireless networking thing.
I'm having some trouble with my wireless router. My ISP gave me a wireless Huwaei modem but I live in a two-story apartment and modem from the ISP plays well on the second floor, the signal is very weak.
My problem here is that I am trying to use my router to broadcast the signal to the floor.
Is it possible to set up an access point with my Wi - Fi router?
My idea is that the router would be placed in another part of the apartment and clone the signal from the modem wi - fi and move this signal. I want to place the wireless router in the second floor.
Such an action is possible?
Thank you very much for your help.
You can set the WRT54GL as Access Point, both your two routers must be wired to the other...
To make the two routers are wireless, is not not possible.
For both routers works between them, connect the Ethernet cable between the LAN Port of your Modem to the Lan 1 Port on the Linksys router. Click here and follow the instructions how do your Linksys router works with your Modem.

With the help of new access points with old WLC 4100; LWAPP layer 2 switching 3-tier
Hi all
We currently use two solutions Wiresless LAN - a 10 AP1230 access points-based autonomous (5 years) and a solution based on a Cisco WLC 4100 (4112, running 3.2) with 12 AP1010 LWAPP access points.
First thing, we are considering to replace the stand-alone solution with the WLC one. However, I'm not sure if we can use the new access points such as the LAP1041N or the LAP1252G with our current 4100 WLC. Access reported data sheets 'Cisco Unified Wireless Network Software Release 7.0 or later version' 'software '. Does this mean that these access points can only be used with controllers running 7.0 or later?
If we are unable to use the new access points with our current WLC and need to buy a new controller: can we use access points AP1010 current with a new WLC as the Cisco 4402?
Second thing, it is that we want to expand the networks configured on the WLC 4100 to another site that is connected via VPN wireless. Wireless Setup guide indicates that the LWAPP mode can be changed from Layer 2 to 3 layers so that the access points can be configured with an IP address, which allows you to place access points basically anywhere as long as IP connectivity exists between the AP and the WLC.
Y does it as described in a document with the change of mode LWAPP layer 2 to 3 layers? Or ist just the following steps (if I understand correctly):
-Change the Mode of Transport LWAPP on the controller of layer 2 to 3 layers
-Creation of a PA-manager interface with an IP address in the same subnet as the management interface (tried that, without changing LWAPP mode transport first and not was not possible - error)
With regard to different sites:
-Configure option DHCP 43 with the IP address of the WLC or DNS with CISCO-LWAPP - CONTROLLER.localdomain
-Make sure that the interface ap - manager can reach points on the different site
Is it really just as simple as that? All information about it is very appreciated!
/ edit: I would also like to know if the 1260 series access point are backward compatible with 802. 11B. Whereas it is stated in 1040 and 1250 for example series data sheets, it is not particularly mentioned in 1260 data sheet.
Thank you
Michael
Well, let's start with the simple question/answer
With regard to different sites:
-Configure option DHCP 43 with the IP address of the WLC or DNS with CISCO-LWAPP - CONTROLLER.localdomain
-Make sure that the interface ap - manager can reach points on the different site
Yes, it's as simple as that.
As for other issues, looks like you would be better served with a forklift upgrade. New controllers and new AP.
Now, the AP 1230/1240/1250. all work on the 4.2, 1140 code starts with 5.2 and 1040/3500/1260 are 7.0
The AP 1000 series is not supported after 4.2 code.
Refer to here for the complete list of the AP and taken codes supported:
http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn7.0.html#wp610751
From what I see, the 4100 is not supported after the train of 3.2.
So, it really depends on what you are trying to accomplish with the upgrade. If you are looking for a 80.211n support, you really want to be 5.2 or better, we had some problems with MRR + 40 Mhz channels, 4.2, 5 GHz band only.

RV180W add the access point with itinerant support
I have a client with a RV180w the latest firmware running. We currently use the router as a router and provide wireless access. We want to add a wireless coverage and I'm interested in our options. We have a network unifying ethernet that we could use to give the new connectivity LAN AP. Can buy us another RV180W and use it in AP mode and roaming wireless connectivity. The customer wants a guest and business WLAN so we'll use the VLAN of the router. How we set up the new AP? Should we use WDS? If we use WDS, can we still use WPA2? Thank you for your help.
Hello, Mr. Carl,.
Yes is possible to use WDS and WPA2 at the same time.
The master of accreditation will be setup as a RADIUS server to authenticate the other access points, while clients use the WPA2-PSK, which occupies the same on each access point.
Let me share with you the information found on WDS and the configuration of basic, found on the guide me section.
WDS configuration:
RV180W configuration:
If this answer is satisfactory to you, please mark it as response.

access point with controller question
Hello
In view of the installation where I have several APs (LWAPP) connected to a WLC and a radius server, whenever a host connects to say AP1, when authentication is performed on the radius server, RADIUS would communicate with the WLC directly or with the AP?
Sorry, am a bit confused, I just think that the only host I would have on the radius server must be the WLC.
Thank you.
Hello
RADIUS server would contact WLC. Your thoughts are right, that only WLC must be added as host AAA Radius server. There is no need to add the APs.
For more information please take a look at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a0080665d18.shtml#c2

With the help of the EA 6300 as Access Point?
I have given up to get the EA6300 to work as I wanted and will get another router. In order to not be from his pocket a piece of plastic and electronics in landfills, I create the EA 6300 as 'silly' access point, just transfer the DHCP and DNS of the router and thus broaden the scope of the wireless network.
The AP today, I use a NetGear, becoming over the years and often disconnect wifi users.
The idea is to have the router using a SSID and let the 6300 EA using the same SSID and password in order to give a 'broad' transparent network
Is there an easy way to implement, and if so, are there instructions anywhere for this?
Check out the post below.

Problem with access point or wireless adapter
Hello world
tried to connect to my WiFi, but the convenience store detects that the problem with access point or wireless adapter.
The drivers are up-to-date and functioning normally. There were discussions on BIOS but I don't know if I would be able to complete the task without bricking your laptop.Is there any online support?
Hi smert
Your message is not really useful.
Why? Because no one knows all the details of the laptop, wireless network card system...
So please would you be kind enough to provide more details.But despite the missing information, I recommend:
(1) reset your router WLan
(2) check the connection to the WiFi unsecured. (of course for testing purposes)
(3) check the different (WPA/WPA2 AES, TKIP) encryption -
Latest drivers Atheros does not help with hotspot WiFi (or access point)?
I updated the drivers from v7.7.0.288.0. It's the latest and probably the last pilot found in archive of drivers for the A200 support.
I set up my WiFi Atheros in usual manner of Vista. The steps are described in most PC portals for the creation of an access point WiFi in Windows Vista.
1 Control Panel
2 network connections and sharing
3. ad-hoc creation, the SSID, password etc.
4. share the internet connection button.
5 allow to other users on the network to use my internet
6 access point is created and Windows indicates that the signal is "Excellent".Everything is simple and straightforward but my Android smartphones don't detect access point.
So what is the fault?Driver details dated 03/09/2009 in the Page of Support Toshiba informed that the update of the wireless Lan driver is to 'connect to your wireless access Point or to another PC wireless using your wireless network card.
[driver | http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory = 8 & selFamily = 192 & selSeries = 236 & selProduct = 725 & STAS hortMod = 518 & language = 13 & selOS = 26 & selType = 97 & yearup load = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = al lMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = all & selectedLanguage = 13 & type = 97 & page = 1 & ID = 54134 & DISO = 26 & driverLanguage = 42]
COMPUTER geeks report that my Atheros AR5007EG is able to create the gateway under Win7. I think in the same way, it should work with Windows Vista SP2.
http://www.itgeekdiary.com/Windows-7-as-an-Wi-Fi-access-point/
I tried other portals Windows but all of them describe the same steps by creating ad hoc to access Windows Vista point.
Any help is appreciated.

WiFi HP ENVY 4500 with several Access Points - same SSIS Configuration
Hello
We just got a HP ENVY 4500. I have a main homenetwork with a wifi Modem/Router and an old router acting as an Access Point to the floor to extend coverage.
Both have the same SSID and password and are set to different channels.
My HP ENVY 4500 fails to connect when the Access Point is lit.
It will connect with it.
Once connected, I can turn on the PA and all is well.
The two router an AP using WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK encriptación
The router (that it connects to) should have a better sgnal when both are on, so I do not understand why they need the AP to be turned off to connect.
Any thoughts people?
Eserim
I think he has always had problems with several access points. Try this, what ever AP is closest to the printer, set it to channel 1. Then try channel 11. Try now.

Impossible to access wifi with other access points
WNDR4500v3 with firmware V1.0.0. I32
I bought this router on dec 25 2015 to replace a dead linksys router.
The router feeds a switch of 16 points from one of the 4 ports.
I have a win 7 pc connected to one of the other routers 3 ports.
Then a VoIP connected to port 3 of the router.
I have 2 other wireless access points connected to the port 16.
We feed a remote building through a wired connection to the firset access point
The other access point is also fed by a wired connection.
The old linksys router had him for 4 years.As I said I bought this router as a replacement... but since its worthless and the two wireless access point do not have internet connection.
So either I get it work or will return it for a refund within 24 hours.Figured that out it was Network Manager and windows share the unknown connection of marking.
In advanved sharing setting I have to change to use for user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers
Then all the problems went away.
No more giving up connection and with no internet connection.

NETGEAR D7000 - Mode Access Point - connection problems with iOS Devices
Hello
Having a problem with my Netgear D7000 in mode access point.
My laptop (MacBook Pro) can successfully connect to WiFi and my PC connects fine cable using the D7000 as a switch.
iOS devices, however, hurt that is to get or maintain a connection - even if they connect to and then some time later they will fall the network. Go to settings shows the client attempts to connect, but seems to be stuck with an assigned random IP (not on the subnet of law), no gateway by default, etc..
iOS clients are an iPad 3, iPhone 5 & iPhone 5 c. All about the latest version of iOS.
Other access points by train (Belkin, billion) that's fine.
DHCP etc. everything is managed by my router which is a constant for all devices and access points - but I tried to change that, and he has not made a difference also.
D7000 is on the latest firmware (v28), I tried to reset it and setting up from scratch, but no joy.
Any ideas?
Change the channel seems to resolved this problem.

WRE54G canmot associated not with this access point in Repeater mode.
Hello
Because of the concrete walls, I have a weak signal to use the WRE54G to extend my existing wireless network. However, I installed an Ethernet cable and found possible to connect the WRE54G access point. This is my extension of network is via a connection to an Ethernet cable. Is seems to work fine, it allows communications to the internet and shows a power good signal from a remote PC. But it works only in unsafe mode.
Although I tried to reset, and then follow the instructions to set up a new WEP or WPA encryption, the installation program recognizes the WRE54G, but does not allow me to save the configuration.
The error it says it is "WRE54G canmot not associate with this access point in Repeater mode.
Help, please
Make sure your router's wireless settings and WRE are the same. Try changing the channel on your router, if your router's wireless channel is the default after the procedure, your WRE is unable to communicate with your wireless router.
