Router to router

If possible, I would like to connect a Linksys BEFSR41 router to another router Linksys, WRT600N, for further additional wired for computers to join.

My current network has wired and wireless units.  My main router connected to the modem is the WRT600N and all wired connections are used.  The plan is to connect the BEFSR41 the WRT600N to win two additional wired connections and be six feet away from my modem and WRT600N location.

In this case, can I use a connection in the WRT600N and connect a RJ45 standard for the Wan or uplink on the BEFSR41 port?

In the questions on this Forum, it indicates that in the configuration of the address IP should be changed from the 192.198.1.1 to 192.168.1.254.  The WRT600N is currently at 192.168.1.1 DHCP server is marked Disable  Would that be correct?

Is there something I should know about and change?

The ideal solution for your problem is to add a switch for your WRT600N, not a second router.   A switch has no parameter and no firmware to upgrade.  You he wire just to your WRT600N, and ports of the switch identical to those built in the WRT600N would be.   You can use a gigabit as the SD2008 switch, or if you only need 100 Mbps service, you can use a switch SD208.

It is possible to convert your BEFSR41 to a 100 Mbps switch.  (Note: this will only add a net of two additional ports to your network)  To do this, turn off your entire network.  Unplug the BEFSR41 of other devices.  Connect a computer to a LAN on the BEFSR41 port.  Turn on the BEFSR41 and your computer.  Connect to the BEFSR41 and assign the BEFSR41 as follows:

(1) (together "local IP address" 192.168.1.2 (I assume that you do not use this address elsewhere in your network).)  You can actually use any address that is outside the range of the DHCP servers, but it cannot end with 0, 1 and 255, and you can't use an address that is used elsewhere in your network.

(2) set the DHCP server to 'disabled '.

3) click on the 'save settings' button and then wait for screen refresh (3-60 seconds).  You will be probably disconnected from the BEFSR41.  Don't worry about this.

(4) put your entire network.

(5) wire then any port LAN on the WRT600N to any port LAN on the BEFSR41.  Do not connect anything to the port Internet (WAN) on the BEFSR41.

(6) power of your network.  It should work.

In addition, why the DHCP server stops in your WRT600N?  Normally, you should leave the DHCP server is activated in your main router (WRT600N), even if all the devices on your network use fixed (static) IP LAN addresses.

  • Tips to add a VPN router to my current network configuration

    Dear all

    My apologies if the answer to this question already exists, however, I searched in many situations and none seem to match what I'm after.

    I currently have an ISP modem/router in Bridge mode connected to a TC of Apple which is my wireless router, I have 2 Express airport connected to this acting as the extensors of the range.  I have a VPN service through the MyPrivate network I activate on the desired device when required and everything works fine.

    What I want to do now is to be able to use my AppleTV and burning Amazon via the VPN as well so you need to add a VPN router in the configuration.  I want to finish with 2 wireless networks running together for these devices who need VPN and those who are not.  I don't want to lose the opportunity to extend the network to express it however airport.

    If someone could explain to me if this is possible and if so how do I set up the network.

    Thanks in advance

    Basically you would need a device that supports VPN-passthrough and VLANS for your goals of networking. MyPrivate network, seems to be a VPN SSL, which is a user-server configuration. In other words, you install a client VPN on your Mac and you connect to the VPN network MyPrivate server to establish a VPN tunnel.

    Networking two or more "separated", should be using a router that supports VLAN services. Each segment of VIRTUAL local area network, in essence, would be a separate, she either wired or wireless network or a combination of both. This would probably be the 'easiest' part for the installation program.

    Now how combining the two would be the question, and I don't know what would be the best way, or even if it is possible.

    A few thoughts:

    • Use a router that supports VLANS. Create at least two VIRTUAL LAN segments. One for Apple TV & Burns, one for Internet access in general. Connect the device to VPN client host on the first segment, and configure for Internet sharing.
    • Download a dedicated VPN network application that supports hosting of third-party VPN clients, like yours. You would still need a router that supports VLAN to provided separate network segments.
    • Hire a consultant network. Let them know what you the goals of networking and ask them to offer potential solutions.

  • Can I use the Time Capsule wireless for multiple computers without using it as a router?

    I am looking for an external backup for 2 computers drive.  I have a desktop iMac and MacBook Air.  I like the idea of being able to back up my MacBook Air wireless, but I need to make sure that it will work the way I need to.

    I already have a wireless router that works well for me, I don't need the time Capsule to act as a router. I'm just needing a wireless backup drive.  So, the question is, can I use the only time Capsule as a storage device for backup of wifi or do I also have to use it as a wifi router?  My fear is that the router service is not as good as the router, I currently have.  I live in a big House of 2 floors, making it very difficult to receive a strong signal throughout the House.

    can I use time Capsule only as a backup wireless storage device or do I also have to use it as a wifi router?

    Time Capsule need to connect to your router/modem existing using wired Ethernet wired, permanent.

    If you plan to use the time Capsule to back up your Mac with the help of the application Time Machine on every Mac, the Mac will have to save on the wireless signal Time Capsule for the process to be officially supported by Apple.

    While it is possible to turn off wireless on the Time Capsule and try to save it to your existing wireless network... and it pourrait work... but there will be no Apple support backup problems... so it would be a good idea to plan to use Time Capsule wireless backup purposes.

  • Use the second router to extend the network to Time Capsule

    I have a v7.6.7 running Time Capsule 1 TB and older airport. I'm hoping to add a second router in a new location, and I use an ethernet cable from the TC at the new router (TP Link Archer C5), updated to the latest version of the firmware. The IP address of the TC is 192.168.1.1.

    I have set up my router C5 as follows: allocation of IP 192.168.1.199, value DHCP = off, and I connect a cable between the TC ports and port WAN (not Internet) available on the C5. In the C5 wireless settings, I tried both using the TC SSID and pw and creating a new SSID and pw. In both cases, the network will work for a short time, but eventually the entire network, including the TC, stops working. I made no changes to the parameters of the TC on any trial.

    Is it possible to use a TC and a router not Apple on the same network? If so, what are the right settings for the TC and the secondary router? If not, is it better to have the not Apple as main router and add the TC to the network created by the non-Apple router?

    Is it possible to use a TC and a router not Apple on the same network? If so, what are the right settings for the TC and the secondary router?

    Yes. That would be the basis of a network of mobile type.

    The key for a roaming network parameters are:

    • The 'primary' router must be configured as a router. In other words, it must have active NAT and DHCP services.
    • All other routers used in a network of roaming must be reconfigured as a bridge.
    • All routers must broadcast a Wi - Fi network that uses the same network (SSID, aka) name, and the type of wireless security, and the password.
    • All routers must be interconnected by Ethernet. To provide Powerline adapters using an Ethernet connectivity should also work.

    If not, is it better to have the not Apple as main router and add the TC to the network created by the non-Apple router?

    Should not really which is the main in the roaming network.

    I think at this point, your current circuit line. To check that, I would suggest that you consider to bring back the router C5 in the same room as you have the TC. Then connect it directly to one of the LAN of the TC ports. Complete the entire upward to a mobile network and test it. If everything works, bring back the C5 in the desired location, and then try again.

    If it fails, then the circuit line will be tested to check that it provides a solid 'Ethernet' connection between the adapters.

  • Need to connect MacPro to the router

    My Mac Pro is now connected to the internet via the airport card and the modem is down. But I need to connect a router on a mac so I can run my laserprinter through a network using a RJ45 cable. I can't run the cable in the area of the modem is located. Can I connect the router directly to Mac and use the card airport as the internet connection?

    Dbarunas,

    You left out some important details, but let me see if I can answer without them:

    Assuming that the ISP modem you mentioned is your current destination of wifi and Airport card is built-in wifi Mac Pro adapter.  I also guess your desktop not a laptop since you don't mention MacBookPro.

    1. If your router is wireless and assuming that the 'airport' is the the computer's built-in wifi card.

    (Wired connection) modem-> router (cable) * (wifi)-> laptop (wifi) (* printer cable) to connect to the router via wifi instead of the modem, then turning off the wifi on the once the router WiFi modem set up, if possible. (No need to nuke the family bits with too many signs wifi).

    2. If your router is not wireless.

    Modem-> laptop (wifi) * (wired)-> router (wired) (wired)-> printer (cable) (* make sure that the computer has not a gateway specified in the network settings for this connection assigned static address.)

    3. If your router is not wireless and no other host on the router. (without router required)

    Modem (wifi)-> laptop (wifi) (wired)-> * printer (cable) (static addresses the only, once again no gateway) (* this may require a crossover based on the capabilities of the printer Ethernet cable.)

    When you use a wired network on the laptop and wireless Internet access, make sure the "backend" network cable is on a completely different range of addresses and 'NO' gateway assigned or the laptop would not know how to get to the INET.

  • How to fill Airport extreme wth my DSL router

    I am interested to buy an airport extreme and I currently have a DSL WiFi router. can I fill my current setup and then copy it into the new airport extreme, and then turn off my WiFi in my DSL router? in other words, I wish the Airport extreme to be the main WiFi, I hope I'm supposed?

    You cannot copy between dissimilar model routers.

    And there is absolutely no reason and without having to turn off the current router wifi and every reason to leave it on.

    The extreme must be in bridge including the Apple Installer mode to remove the wireless of comments. So I encourage you to just run two wireless networks... (there bandwidth to run 3 without causing problems).

    Create the wireless on the extreme with your own new values wireless... and you connect some Apple devices you want.

    But you can do what you want... just use the existing router SSID in the airport and use his password... However, this can cause problems for clients who expect a single Assembly and find that they are connected to something unknown.

  • 1st gen Apple Watch, OS3, workout card routing

    After updating my 1st Gen Apple Watch to OS3, I started a workout. He asked me to put my iPhone along for the calibration. I ended up taking a 4km walk, and after I saved a workout I noticed that in the summary of the workout he captured a map of my route to market together.

    I repeated the same 4km walk with the same way the next day and the following days (still wearing my iPhone) but is no longer provides a map of the route I took. No settings have been changed since the day 1 (e.g., location services, data enabled, etc.).

    Thoughts?

    My works fine as long as the iPhone captures GPS. Try going in to the workout on the activity of the app on the phone, check the time in the outdoor market, make sure it's your name and place an arrow of tracking. If this is not the case, try to repair your watch. and you check location setting on the phone too when you have the route that you will have time as well!

  • Using the base station airport ONLY as a backup, but is not a router

    Hi, I have a simple question that I can't find an answer. I want to use my Airport only base like a time capsule, and not as a wifi hotspot. I'm in a wfi environment that does not have any router, my wifi just to join a wireless network in my office environment. Previously, I worked in an office where I ran a cable DHCP in my airport base station and then he joined with wifi. Now, I just want to use the airport as a backup. Answers to this question involve disable wifi from the airport and hit an ethernet cable from the router to the airport base station. I do not have a router. So is it possible that I can get the device from the airport, make back ups wireless, all at the same time be connected to a wireless network? I'm guessing that the answer is no.

    Unfortunately, your proposal of "no" is correct.

    However, you could configure the airport Time Capsule (ATC) to create a wireless network (without Internet access) and save on the Time Capsule wireless.

    Of course, to do this, when you want to save, you need to log on to your 'normal' wireless network and connect wireless provided by ATC.  Once the backup is complete, then you'll need to sign the CTA wireless and log on to your normal wireless network.

    All things considered, it would be much easier to invest in a USB low price and connect the HDD directly on your Mac. In this way, you can stay connected to your wireless network normal and backups occur automatically.

  • Apple Airport Extreme and new FIOS router - problem

    Hello, I have an Apple Airport Extreme 802.11n base station, which worked well with a Comcast router.  When you set up with Comcast router, I set the router to comcast to bridge and the Airport Extreme has done all the work as the main router. When I switched to Verizon FIOS today, I get the typical mistake of NAT double (that I did with the Comcast before configuring the router to Comcast to bridge).  However, the tech support guy FIOS said that was not an option, so he set up my Airport Extreme in bridge - router off mode mode.  This really live to the top incoming access using SSH, Timbuktu or the Apple screen sharing, given that I can't assign fixed IP addresses to the computers on my network and can not use the Airport Utility Network Port settings to open "pipes" for a particular computer.  In addition, I'm more comfortable using Airport Extreme, rather than things FIOS. Someone at - it other than enter Comcast suggestions?

    I did a search and didn't see a post on this in the discussion forum.  Thank you

  • 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.

  • Why my wireless router can not access the internet?

    Since my ISP was purchased by another company I had problems to connect to the internet. 8 years with the former ISP I've almost never had a problem and if I did corrected himself very soon. I haven't changed anything on my end, but I get the info. below of Wireless Diagnostics. I hesitate to call the ISP because I don't want it must make changes that can not help and then I have I don't know how to get back to square one. I have tried everything that I read on the subject of internet connections has dropped, but it makes no difference. I use airport Time Capsule as my router wireless because of its 802.11ac technology while the Actiontec AGT784WNV Wireless Gateway is only 802.11n. Thanks for any help you can offer me.

    We need a lot of details.

    Perhaps the best way is a screenshot of the page summary of TC...

    That is to say, click on the TC icon in airport utility.

    It gives me a lot of valuable information.

    And I'll probably reset you your TC at the factory.

    Since you are concerned to recover the old settings make a backup now.

    Click Edit in the summary page... and in the main menu, click Export configuration.

    Now you have a way to restore the settings you... Although I don't think you want instantly.

    If we remove the fear factor that can help.

    If your ISP changes the settings a full reset and reconfigure the TC is usually required.

    Universal factory reset

    Turning off the TC... That is, remove the power supply cord or the power at the wall outlet, wait 10 seconds... Hold the reset button... be nice... Turn on always even now in reset... and keep holding in for another 10 seconds. You may need assistance because it is difficult to hold in reset and power on. It will show the success quickly flashing led front. Release reset... and wait a few minutes for the TC to reset and return with the factory settings. If the front LED flashes quickly you missed and simply try again. The reset is quite fragile in these... Press the key while it is just click away and not more... I've seen people bend lever or even break. I use a toothpick as a tool.

    NB. None of your files on the hard drive of the TC are removed... This simply clears the settings of the router of the TC.

    The installer the TC.

    Then redo the configuration of the computer that you want to use for TM using Airport utility.

    1. the use of very short names... NO APPLE RECOMMENDED names. Without the space and pure alphanumeric characters.

    for example TCgen5 for the base station and the name of the TCwifi wireless.

    If the wireless is still an issue defined wireless names like TC24ghz and assigned the 5 GHz other name... for example. TC5ghz

    2. use all passwords also consistent with 1. but maybe a little longer. IE 8 and 20 characters of mixed cases and numbers... no alphanumeric non-caracteres.

    ** 3. If the TC is router, you can ignore this point. It is only a problem when the TC is bridged.

    If ensure that the TC is always the same IP address... you will need to do this on the main router using a dhcp reservation... or a bit more complex setup by using the static IP address in the TC.

    Ignore this point if you don't understand it... after the return if you drop questions.

    4. be sure that IPv6 is set correctly in the computer. IE link-local only for ethernet or wireless depending on whether you are using. Car is not good enough.
