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.

  • Set up home network problems

    Hi, I wonder if someone could help?

    I have trouble setting up a network as I want. My implementation consists of 2 x laptops and desktops x 2, all with a direct connection to the internet via a wireless router.

    I want to use one of desktop computers as network storage device, accessible from any of the three other aircraft. I used the wireless network wizard to create a network that works, but the connection to that means I have to disconnect the direct connection to the internet that is already on each computer. While obviously I can reconnect, I don't want to keep swapping networks whenever I want to dump/extract a file from the NAS

    I don't want to use a computer for the internet while having others connect through it, as that would always have this particular feature turned on and seems also unnecessary, since they currently have direct access.

    I would have because they are all connected to the same wireless router, file sharing should be simple enough without having to create a separate network, but I am struggling to find all the details on how to do it. I tried to add network places on each computer, but they don't see the other unless it is connected to the new network I created.

    I also tried the Hic Ad method, which once worked but required me to disconnect the domestic Internet to connect to the network.

    As a side note, when you use the Network Wizard, I was invited to transfer the parameters via key to the wireless router, as I did with all the other devices on the network. I can't do that as there is no USB port on the router (come to think of it, he was not on any wireless router I've owned).

    All are running on XP Home or XP Pro. Help, please!

    Many thanks in advance,

  • PS B110a - wireless configuration will fail if the network has multiple access points

    Photosmart B110a (CN245B) wireless AIO printer.

    I have several wireless access points using the same SSID to provide coverage over a large area. When you install the printer on the screen TouchSmart wireless installation fails. Print report reveals the following error:

    "More than one access point/router wireless was found which matches your network name (SSID). If this is not intended, your HP printer can connect to the wrong network. »

    This should not be a problem.  I have a B110 (and another 10 or so HP wireless printers) on a network of airports with 5 access points and they just connect.

    Here are a few suggestions:

    2. enable the SSID broadcast on all access points

    3. do not use the MAC filtering acddress

    Thing to keep in mind when cascading a router:

    1. Change the IP address of the secondary router to something like 192.168.1.254 so its on the same network, but is not in conflict with the main router
    2. Make sure that the DHCP service is disabled on the secondary router

  • Home network problem cannot access one of that PC even if should be able

    I ran into a problem... I have a PC running Windows Vista and Windows 7 PC on my network home. I can 'see' each from the other PC PC when I go on the network. The Windows Vista-based computer can access shared folders on the Windows 7 PC... and the Windows Vista computer can share items specially for windows 7 PC SHOULD have access to these folders. I placed the user for the Windows 7 PC as co-owner. HOWEVER, when I go to the network on the Windows 7 option, I select the Vista PC in the network thinking it should then show me the file and instead, troubleshooting network appears.

    When I go to the troubleshooter, it says that it can't find the Vista machine... even if it it displays network before I tried to access it.

    They are both in the same workgroup. I checked the machine windows 7 has permission for the folder in question indeed. and I've checked that the machine of windows Vista CAN access folders on the windows machine 7...

    No idea what I'm missing?

    Thank you!

    Hi Jim,

    1. did you change any software on the computer?

    2. where you can access files on Windows Vista earlier?

    Method 1:

    Please click on this link to find how to share files and specific folders with someone,

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/share-files-with-someone

    Method 2:

    Disable the antivirus/firewall softwareand check if it helps.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

    NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software.

     

    Warning: If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

     

    Method 3:

    Turn off sharing protected by password:

    Password sharing is enabled by default for computers of working groups. When password sharing is enabled, people using other computers on your network cannot access your shared folders or printers unless they have a user account on your computer. There are two ways to enable file or printer sharing:

    o identical user accounts create on all computers in the workgroup (recommended). For more information, see create a user account.

    o turn off password protected sharing. To turn off password protected sharing, follow these steps:

    a. open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button on the Control Panel, click Network and Internet, and then click Network and sharing Center.

    b. under sharing and discovery, click the arrow next to password protected sharing.

    c. click turn off password protected sharing, and then click apply.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

     

    Please, try the following steps and check.

  • Unknown home network access point that I don't create

    I recently updated my modem on a new one that has a built-in wireless router (I have cable internet) I don't know if that has anything to do with this problem, but now when I open "Network and sharing Center", I noticed that my home network name was no longer "an Internet 3" but something named "RubyCheetah" - a name * I * certainly didn't put in there!  I wonder now if I joined in some kind of home network of someone by mistake and I'm now internet access through its network. I live in an apartment building where I think there are a LOT of wireless spots. Would this be possible? Earlier, I was getting very sporadic bouts with pages not loading or taking always into the for do.

    What I want to do is to delete this "RubyCheetah" completely and start again with another, as if I was installing Windows for the first time and create a home network. How can I do this?  Help, please?

    Then click on "set up a new connection" follow-up steps.

    Now, if it does not find your connection, it is a different matter.

  • can I use a laptop to set up a wifi access point?

    When I first received a laptop of opportunity in last December, a colleague tech at my night school mentioned that I didn't have to buy a 803,11 access point device to plug my switch, but I rather use a WiFi card on my computer to create my own access point. I told him I have such a card and put a little out of my mind.

    However, I have someone outside to spend the night at my place, and he needs to check his e-mail. Unfortunately, it seems that the RJ-45 socket on his laptop is broken, I have tried several cables and impossible to get a connection, including the cable to connect the computer I'm using now.

    Is it possible that I can use ICS on XP Pro (preferred) or Vista 32 bit Home Premium (really want to use it, I have never set the boot loader after the upgrade to XP on a separate partition, especially because XP has worked so much better) to set up enough connectivity for him to connect to the mail server?

    Should I Windows 7 or Vista to do this? I know how to do the reverse quite easily (share Wi-Fi on the Ethernet port), but I don't know how to set up the SSID and others. I would assume same WEP or WPA2 (Yes, I know how it is easy to crack, but it's better that transmitting passwords in clear text because it discourages occasional interception) would too, so it will accept a connection open, unencrypted. I'll just close access once it does.

    How could I go to set it up? I'm not spending money on software that is not free for one night, one-shot deal. Kiss, I just need a connection of bare bones for him. If its Ethernet port was working, I would leave him to plug my switch, but since it's not I need to create a gateway using what material I have on hand, and the only device with any kind of ability 803.11 is my own laptop.

    I know it's possible, I don't know if this is something only Linux, or a solution that requires 3rd party software.

    Yes, you can use ICS.  See http://practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics/

    I forgot to include this--> http://www.home-network-help.com/ad-hoc-wireless-network.html

    You will need to configure security manually from the properties of maps dialog box wireless (on both computers) and IIRC, you can use WEP in ad-hoc XP networks.

    Go to the correct place
    Right click on the wireless adapter icon and select Properties
    Click the wireless networks tab
    Click Add to create a configuration
    in the 'Association' tab, set the SSID, network authentication 'Open' and WEP data encryption.
    It's been so long that I made that I remember exactly, but I think you can use only the 10 digit Hex key.

  • setting up wrt150N as access point

    Hello.. Please bare with me.
    In my previous House, I had my cable modem connected to a dlink wireless router. I used a port on the dlink lan and connected to my wrt150n that is configured as an access point. It has worked flawlessly. I was able to create a network and share files between computers regardless of what router they were physically connected to.

    Fast forward a year and in my new House, I have a dlink WIRED router connected to my modem (different ISP) and to a lan port on the router im connected to the port of the wrt150n 'internet '. The computer is connected to the 150n can access the internet and the portion wireless works fine, but it does not connect to another computer that is connected directly to the router wired dlink.

    From the computer connected to the linksys, I can;

    router dlink ping

    router linksys ping

    ping ip address ONLY, the second computer that is connected to the dlink router

    The computer connected to the dlink, I can;

    router dlink ping

    I can not ping ip address AND name of the other computer

    I cannot ping the router linksys

    Is happening here?

    What setting should I watch these two computers to be on the same home network?

    Dlink ip address is 192.168.0.1

    Address IP Linksys is 192.168.1.1

    He was installing it in my old House and worked well.

    Unfortunately, my warranty is up and linksys don't offer me a tech support.

    any help would be GREATLY appreciated, I really need my home network courses.

    It's just the way you have implemented: you configured the WRT as router and so you have created two separate LAN segments and areas of broadcasting. Emissions of LAN will not cross a router. Name resolution for the WIndows work group works on the basis of emissions, either it works on the same segment of LAN never beyond a router. For example, if you want to keep this type of installation, you will need to use the IP address to connect to computers on the Dlink from computers on the WRT. Reverse is not possible at all because the WRT does NAT which makes LAN inaccessible on the internet port.

    You want only the WRT as access point and you seem to want connectivity complete between all your computers I would say that you reconfigure the WRT.

    1. disconnect the WRT from D-Link.

    2. connect a computer to the WRT. Open the web interface at http://192.168.1.1/

    3. on the main configuration page, change the address LAN IP of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.2 and disable the DHCP server.

    4. save the settings. You will lose the connection.

    5. unplug the computer and wire to one of the LAN ports of the WRT to your D-Link router.

    That's all. Now all your computers to connect to the same local network and are in the same broadcast domain. All computers use IP addresses * 192.168.0 and have internet through D-Link.

    Make sure that the DHCP server on the D-Link will not affect 192.168.0.2 to another computer or device on your network. This would cause a conflict of IP address.

  • Help: Why the IP addresses change in a multi-router Home Network (Wrt320n, wrt54g2)

    I am trying to update my routers and computers at home. Previously, I had a router connected to the internet with a wireless G and an another wireless router connected to the external router with another wireless G network. The external wireless network was used to play games and the internal network has been used for all the other stuff TIVO, access points of impression, computers, etc. The external network had 192.168.1.x ip addresses, and the internal network addresses are 192.9.2.x used routers were linksys wrt54g and wrt54g2. Everything worked.

    So I bought a Linksys wrt320n and put in place that the external router. However when the internal router is connected to the external router, the ip addresses of the devices connected to cable networks and wireless to the internal router are numbered 192.168.1.x instead of what I expected (192.9.2.x). This resulting in the Buffalo Access Point and the access HP Points not being seen in the network. In addition, if I disconnect the internal router to the external router, after reboot ip addresses are what I expect.

    Of course, technology has changed or I was very lucky. But why are the IP addresses internal changed/performed by the external router? I watched as each private network between them.

    Any recommendations? I hope that there is a setting I can change to fix this. Any help is appreciated.

    1 192.9.2.0/24 is a subnet public IP, which is owned by Sun Microsystems. It isn't a private IP address subnet available for private use. I recommend you change the subnet to a private inside 192.168 IP subnet. *. *. With the IP subnet, you use currently, you can access these public Sun IP addresses if you need them...

    2. what you write seems to me as if you connect the internal router with an external router LAN port. With your configuration, you must connect the internet port of the router internal to an external router LAN port.
