Wireless cascading

Hello

I'm tying an e2000 (connected to the modem/internet) for a WRT54GL v. 1.1, which in turn, I want to connect to our TV with a cable ethernet through LAN ports. Both have the latest respective software.

I can cascade right routers via the lan ports and the e2000 assigns ip addresses, etc. - all great. But when I disconnect the connection to the local network, no joy.

I tried to set up a static address in the Routing window advanced, but the computer does not find the router later.

My set up:

E2000

IP = 192.168.1.19

subnet = 255.255.255.0

DHCP = 192.168.1.100 ip address range - 192.168.1.149

Wireless = g only, secure

the WRT54GL

IP = 192.168.1.254

subnet = 255.255.255.0

allcoation DHCP = disabled

Wireless = G only, secure, exact same SSID and password

chosen rather than the gateway router

Is my static routing badly due to the same domain 192.168.1.XXX address?

Should I static routing?
Is there a simple setting I'm missing?

Linksys support suggested I put the e2000 in the #1 position and, during the configuration, review the port #2... as I said, everything looks great until I have try to disconnect and use the wireless.

Any help much appreciated, or, if I'm trying to do is impossible, it would be great to know too. I turn signal replacement software if it is a much better solution than the road I'm.

Thank you

You can't connect two Linksys wireless routers.  You should always use a cable as you discovered.  I'm sorry.  However, there may be some 3rd party firmware that will support this.  Search the Web for DD - WRT firmware to see if your router supports it.

  • No 2nd router Wireless signal cascade

    I have a wrt160n my main router cascading to one e1200 to the other end of my house. The idea was to improve wireless signal here. Has passed through a long discussion with Cisco support settnig system upward.

    IP address of the e1200 occupies more than 5 outside main router, dhcp is disabled. Connection bewtween routers is Wan to Wan.

    I wired the e1200 but no signal wireless signal. Any ideas?

    You mentioned that there is a WAN - WAN connection. Is your E1200 a version 2 router? If the wireline work, the wireless should work as well. Were you able to configure the settings of you before Wireless 2 routers cascade? Did you use the same network names? If you have done so, turn off the WRT160N and leave the E1200 power and see if it is broadcasting. Otherwise, you will need to access the router's interface again and adjust the wireless channels.

  • Cascading of wireless routers. How?

    Hello!

    I need 2 routers cascade, but I can't use threads (at least for the moment), to extend the coverage of my private home network.

    First router is a WRT610Nv1, connected via PPPoE for my ISP and Internet. The two radio freq (2.4 & 5 MHz) are activated but I use mostly the 2.4 with the devices.

    Second router is an E2000, 2 floors below. During this second device, I would like to connect some cables (XBOX) and some wireless device (computers). It would be ok to configure E2000 as an Extender (same IP subnet) but I can't find any option or similar configuration to use WDS.

    Currently the E2000 place is taken by a 3rd router (WRT150Nv1.1 with firmware WW - DRT) acting as a Repeater bridge (over 2.4 MHz) but I want to dismiss this 3rd possibly using 5 MHz and didn't want to put the dd - wrt firmware in E2000.

    Is it possible to connect WRT610N and E2000 cascade wireless? How can I configure them?

    Thanks in advance for any suggestion...

    No you can not mount cascade two Linksys wireless routers, you must use a thread.  However, there are 3rd party firmware that can do this.  Make a search for DD - WRT and discover their firmware.

  • Cascade 2 WRT300N and have both sends a wireless signal

    I searched the forums, discover different cascading routers and posed this question in a different way, but I don't know if I'll be able to use a 2nd WRT300N in order to broadcast a wireless signal if I connect it to my 1st WRT300N. Routers will be connected with about 50 ft 5 cat. Is this possible? I connect the ethernet port to the port ethernet or go eithernet port 1 to the WLAN port on 2? Any help would be appreciated.

    1. you're not technically a wireless router but only one wireless access point. A WAP610N or similar would be the better choice in this case.

    2. you can use a router as a simple access point and ethernet switch. Change the address LAN IP of the second WRT to 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.1. Disable the DHCP server on the second WRT. Then, connect the two LAN - LAN. Do not use the internet port of the second WRT!

  • Network: 2 routers Apple broadcasting separate wireless networks; one (Xfinity/Comcast) cable modem

    Hello community!  Need help, I want to use two routers to establish two separate wireless networks on a cable modem connection.  I searched for my answer and see some other threads on this topic, but all are either a bit too technical for me, are incomplete on the answers to my questions - and all seem to be locked.  I have also searched YouTube and only see videos to extend a network with two routers - not my goal.  So here is a long, but a detailed post on what I need someone help with - thank you very much in advance if anyone can all small-not me-I hope it will be useful to others in the future.

    The program installation/hardware: I have internet Comcast/Xfinity that runs to a Motorola surfboard cable modem (SB6141).  I also have two routers apple - a Time Capsule from Apple AirPort (to end 2013) and a new (2016) AirPort Extreme.

    Purpose: This is what I need--I need two separate wireless networks.  Before going further, by using the guest account and 5 GHz of a single router isn't an option for me.  I need to have both wireless networks separate (one of each router), do not talk to each other, or allow access between the two - the only is that they share the Comcast internet gateway.

    My plan is to have the cable modem Surfboard connect to airport Time Capsule, which will then connect to AirPort Extreme (even if it could be reverse - no difference, except that the data that I show below comes from the time Capsule, which is currently connected to the modem cable).

    To read the previous discussions, it seems that the starting point would be: modem router #1 Ethernet WAN, then a router cable #1 LAN Ethernet to the Router #2.

    First issue of clarification - the connecting cable should go to the Ethernet WAN port on the Router #2 or a LAN Ethernet port?

    Now that the first easy question is the road, I need help to configure two routers connected to allow two separate networks.  A lot of discussions about the positions of static IP addresses, cascade, etc..  I need specific help with AirPort Utility on what to change on what router.  It seems obvious that the settings under the 'Internet' and 'Network' tabs are those who need to set - the 'wireless' tabs simply treats the name of the wireless network and settings - these, at least I can understand!

    I'll organise this tabbed - here go us.

    First of all, the "Internet" tab/window Airport utility. Here are the options:

    Connect using: Router #1 has currently DHCP (which I think is OK?) What should it be set to Router #2?

    This tab lists also the current address in IPv4, the (255.255.254.0) subnet mask and the router address.

    It has grayed out information in the boxes for the DNS servers; Name of domain and DNS IPv6 servers.  At the bottom of the window, there is an IPv6 Internet WAN address listed.

    If I click on the "Internet Options" button at the bottom of the window, it takes me to the 'Internet Options' window. Here, there are various IPv6 information - it seems that I can choose the configuration of IPv6 and the IPv6 mode using the drop down boxes/selections were also chosen.  There is also a checkbox 'Enable IPv6 connection sharing'. Are the current settings for these for Router #1: configure IPv6: automatically; IPv6 mode: Native; and check/yes to enable sharing of IPv6.

    Next up, the 'Network' tab utility AirPort/window.

    Here, there is a drop-down menu "Router Mode", a DHCP range listed, and the ability to add or remove reservations DHCP and Port settings.  The DHCP range listed for Router #1 is 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.200.  There is currently no reserves DHCP or specified Port settings.  Finally, there is a checkbox to the bottom to "Activate the access control" - it is not currently checked/enabled.

    If I click on the 'Network Options' button at the bottom of the window, it takes me to the "Networking Options" window Here I have areas of entry to specify the DHCP lease duration, can specify the DHCP IPv4 range, as well as part of the extended DHCP IPv4 comments.  There are checkboxes: enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol. Select the host by default (with input if selected text box); Enable the IGMP Snooping; Block incoming IPv6 connections; Allow the Teredo Tunnels; and allow inbound IPSec authentication.

    For this window, here is the current settings on the Router #1:

    DHCP lease is 1 day; Beach DHCP IPv6 is 10.1.2 to 200; Hosts IPv4 DHCP Range is 172.16.42.2 to 200.  The following check boxes are enabled/checked: enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol. Block incoming IPv6 connections; And allow inbound IPSec authentication.

    Who can help me? What parameters, if all do I need to change the #1 router?  How to set up router #2 to make a second wireless network?

    Purpose: This is what I need--I need two separate wireless networks.  Before going further, by using the guest account and 5 GHz of a single router isn't an option for me.  I need to have both wireless networks separate (one of each router), do not talk to each other, or allow access between the two - the only is that they share the Comcast internet gateway.

    What you really need is a combination router / Ethernet switches that s supports VLANdedicated. Given that Apple routers do not, at best, you can potentially get the results that you are looking for, but at a performance cost. In other words, you can have two separate WiFi networks where clients connected to a network can not 'see' those related to another and both routers will always provide access to the Internet through Comcast modem. Note: Arris / Motorola SB6141 isn't a gateway device. Instead, it's a simple modem. A gateway is a router modem combination.

    To do this, should do the following:

    • The Time Capsule (TC) would need to be directly connected to the modem using an Ethernet cable. This base station would remain in its default configuration of the router. In other words, the router Mode (in AirPort Utility) would establish: DHCP and NAT.
    • AirPort Extreme would be directly linked to TB by Ethernet. The cable must be connected to one of the LAN ports on the TC on the WAN port to the extreme. It must also be configured as a router. However, there are differences in the extreme:
      • Use a different name to the Wi - Fi network.
      • Use another range of IP DHCP address. By default, Apple base stations use IP addresses in the 10.0.x.x range. I suggest that you set the base station of the second on 192.168.x.x range.

    There is a major drawback with this configuration. The second base station will be in a State of "Double NAT". Although this "separating" the two networks on different subnets, this condition is not very effective and connected to this network of customers will get lower throughput performance. There is no way around it and it is not recommended.

    First of all, the "Internet" tab/window Airport utility. Here are the options:

    Connect using: Router #1 has currently DHCP (which I think is OK?) What should it be set to Router #2?

    The two should be: DHCP.

    This tab lists also the current address in IPv4, the (255.255.254.0) subnet mask and the router address.

    These leave it as what. The TC is information of IP address of the modem. The extreme, he'll get the TC.

    It has grayed out information in the boxes for the DNS servers; Name of domain and DNS IPv6 servers.  At the bottom of the window, there is an IPv6 Internet WAN address listed.

    These leave it as what.

    If I click on the "Internet Options" button at the bottom of the window, it takes me to the 'Internet Options' window. Here, there are various IPv6 information - it seems that I can choose the configuration of IPv6 and the IPv6 mode using the drop down boxes/selections were also chosen.  There is also a checkbox 'Enable IPv6 connection sharing'. Are the current settings for these for Router #1: configure IPv6: automatically; IPv6 mode: Native; and check/yes to enable sharing of IPv6.

    Unless your ISP provides your IPv6 service, change the IPv6 configuration option to: 'Link-local only' on two base stations.

    Here, there is a drop-down menu "Router Mode", a DHCP range listed, and the ability to add or remove reservations DHCP and Port settings.  The DHCP range listed for Router #1 is 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.200.  There is currently no reserves DHCP or specified Port settings.  Finally, there is a checkbox to the bottom to "Activate the access control" - it is not currently checked/enabled.

    Router mode should be: DHCP and NAT to two base stations. Ignore the DHCP reservations and Port settings for now. Let the current DHCP range for the TC. Change the DHCP range for extreme for: 192.168.1.2 a.200. At this point do not access control for each base station.

    Since you seem to need the step by step instructions or need help to understand the different terms networking, I highly recommend that you help you to become familiar with networking, specifically on Apple systems.

  • Bridge or Access Point mode? What is the difference? Cascade?

    Hello

    Just to give you a quick training of my installation at this time. I have a 4500 square foot home and currently Uverse Internet (NVG589, 45 Mbps down, 5 Mbps upward). I bought myself a R7000 hopes to expand to the entire network. I also have a Netgear EX6100 that I use for the network...

    So currently I have the R7000 connected in AP mode and all my devices connect to it and I turned off WiFi on the NVG589. I have also the connected EX6100 and its WiFi piggybacking off the R7000. The issue I'm having is that I'm the slow service connection via the R7000 (20 mbs, vs 45mbps. I was getting around 40 MB/s connection to NVG589). This happens when connecting both the R7000 and the EX6100.

    I was looking at the possibility of plugging the R7000 in Bridge mode and see if that would help. But, from my understanding, if you are using the bridge, then the R7000 does not send over WiFi (or extend the wireless network, the only advantage is that you can extend things through (wired) LAN) is that correct? I need something to extend WiFi as well as throughout the House. I can also use the EX6100 but I do not think that this is enough for any home.

    Any suggestions? I also looked in the forums and saw some people talking cascaded from the router, do not know what makes and even if it would help me but if someone you ask around, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Apparently, you can configure the Ex6100 as an AP. This link shows how. I have never used this device, so only can go by this doc. Scroll down to about 15 points, in the doc. Good luck!

  • LaserJet 400 m401dn: HP Laserjet 400 m401dn, make wireless?

    Is it possible to buy a product to make the Laserjet 400 m401dn active wifi or is this product already activated?  The internet router is in another place, so a physical connection is not possible.  I would like the capability configure the SSID, etc. to connect and print.  Thank you.

    > Laserjet 400 m401dn wifi active or is this product already activated?

    The m401dn is a model of printer Dmodel Network (wire) connected.  The active WiFi model would be a M401dw , that would be the model Dand Wwireless.

    However, if you create a connection to your router via a wired Ethernet connection and then the printer would be accessible by wireless network devices.  All you need to do is get the printer on the network.

    > internet router is in a different location so a physical connection is not possible.

    The only options you have are to run a new cable at the location of the printer and Ethernet cable connect with the current hardware.

    Otherwise you would seek to create a 'bridge' between the printer and the router wireless network using a router without wire 2.  Configure the wireless router 2 to act as a client or to fill in the primary wireless router that acts as the main Point of access to the network.  Once the 2nd wireless router is filled in elementary school all the devices that are connected to Router 2 will be accessible from the main access point.

    There are guides out there circulating that walks you through this process, but the specific steps will have to come some 2nd router manufacturer, you can decide to experiment.

    Here is a sample of Cisco support article that calls this "Cascade" procedure one router to another:

    Hi Marne,

    First of all, make sure that you logged in with an administrator account. Then change your password to a password strong. Follow the instructions on creating a password on the link below.

    Watch user accounts and remove all user that you use no or unknown accounts.

    Download the Microsoft Scanner from the link below: the page also contains security measures good you can review.

    It is better to have a single Antivirus running real-time protection. You can use other analytical tools, but not the multiples at the same time.

    If you use wireless for your home computer, I reset it and change the default SSID immediately when the security on your network wireless configuration. Most of the ships with a SSID default and you should modify to prevent hackers to access your network.

    Make sure you have a firewall is enabled on your router and your computer.

I want to add wireless access in the office. Can I add another wireless router to the desktop and plug it into the power switch? How can I do this?

    1. Follow the instructions for 'LAN to LAN' Cascading in the link below:

    In waterfall or connect a Linksys router to another router

    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
    3. Make sure that nothing is ever connected to the internet port of the secondary router
    4. Differentiate the wireless SSID by location (Ex: downstairs) and the channel
  • WRT54GP2 cascade successfully, but VOIP does not work via the LAN port

    Hello

    I searched a lot for a solution to my problem, but have found that it is really above my level of understanding. My apologies if this question has been answered before – if she, I can not find or understand.

    I have an existing wired network that is running on a Netgear WPN824v2. This configuration works perfectly.

    I want to add a Linksys WRT54GP2 to this network to act as a Wi - Fi hotspot and the VOIP connection point. I don't want to replace the Netgear with the Linksys, I want the different VOIP in a physical location access point. I would therefore like to them so cascading: Internet-> modem->-> Linksys Netgear. I do not want to bind the Netgear and Linksys Wireless, but instead, use a cable.

    I actually had this works almost perfectly, using the following parameters:

    NETGEAR IP 192.168.1.1 with wireless off

    Linksys IP 192.168.1.254 with disabled DHCP, active wireless.

    In this way, the Internet works, I can open a session the two routers and wireless of Linksys works very well.

    The problem is that VOIP will not work. I think it is because the connection between the two routers is: port LAN Netgear-> port of Linksys LAN.

    I understand VOIP tries to go through the Linksys WAN port, not the LAN port. If I connect LAN Netgear port-> Linksys WAN port, the phone works indeed but I can no longer connect to the Linksys, wireless router and unable to connect more.

    I would like to VOIP and the wireless work at the same time. Is there a way to get the VOIP by the Linksys LAN port instead of the WAN port? Or is there a way to make wireless and router connection work, if the Linksys is connected to the Netgear via its WAN port?

    Thanks in advance!

    -Jono

    When you wired your VOIP phone directly to the Netgear router you can in fact calls?

    If your Netgear router connect to the Linksys router to the WAN port, it will not work. As you already disable DHCP on your Linksys router and you will not have access to your Linksys router. This type of configuration has some other parameters.

    Connect the Netgear router to router Linksys on the WAN Port, then connect your computer to the router on the LAN Port Linksys. To connect to the Linksys router using default IP: 192.168.1.1 and change the LAN IP of the router Linksys 192.168.2.1 and DHCP must be activate and click on save settings. Once the parameters are now save your network power cycle and all your computers should be able to go online.

  • Network with wireless bridge and Repeater cable

    Hello

    I'm about to set up a network composed of 3 routers. The first router R1 is in the basement of my house, the second router R2 is on the first floor and the third router R3 is on the second floor. My goal is to have a single network in the House full (no subnetting) and wifi available at the 1. and 2. floor - so that I can spend on these two floors with no disturbance.

    R1 connects to the ISP. R1 is a DHCP server for the local network. It has the IP 192.168.0.1 and creates the 192.168.0.0 network. All devices on the network should have an IP address in the range of 192.168.0.1 - 254. WiFi is turned off. It should be possible to connect a wired switch, then the computers to the switch.

    R2 has a wired to R1. R2 should work as a wireless access point. DHCP on the router must be switched off. Units to connect to this access point should get their IP address from the DHCP server on R1 (or they have a static IP address).

    R3 is a Repeater that extends the network R2 wireless.

    My question - what type of routers must choose which supported this configuration (R1, R2, R3))? In particular, I don't know how to configure R2 and R3.

    The routers are DHCP server that manages the network IP address. If you connect two routers, you disable the DHCP server on the 2nd router and set up as a simple access point whose IP address is within the range of the main router (cascaded via LAN to LAN), or you can change the IP address of the router 2nd at a different range and keep its active DHCP server (cascading through the LAN to WAN).

    Here is an article that would explain it better:

  • Cannot access Smart WiFi in cascade mode

    I have the following Setup.

    My modem ADSL ISP is the main router with DHCP and its address is 10.0.0.138 who, for some reason, I can't change.

    I booked 10.0.0.1 for my EA2700.

    My EA2700 Port 1 is connected to my wireless Internet service provider router Port 1 creating a way of editing cascading of Lan-To-Lan.

    DHCP and NAT is disabled on EA2700.

    Both channels WiFi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) is defined with the same name and password so devices can connect to one of the routers and it works fine.

    The only problem is that I can not connect to https://www.linksyssmartwifi.com.

    When I connect to https://10.0.0.1 I can connect to my EA2700, but I get error 2113.

    Ignoring the error, everything works.

    I tried DMZ of 10.0.0.1 on my main router but it does not help.

    When a router WiFi chip is cascaded Lan to Lan you cannot remote access via WiFi Smart services.

  • Cascading E3850 disables the config. page?

    So I was pretty excited when I had just purchased a new Linksys AC2400 WIRELESS router because it would be a huge upgrade for me from the router D - Link DIR-615 cheap I had before. But now, because of what I consider a problem very serious design with the router, I am about to return and to ensure that his replacement doesn't have the same problem.

    The problem is only on the difference in the use of Basic for the router, where there isn't that one router in your home and all your home devices are connected and the router is connected directly to the internet, I need this new router linksys with router-bridge cascading my ISP in my basement and it is impossible to do without the Web page of the router configuration (as well as some features of "premium" of the router) becomes unavailiable after setting up the network. This means that whenever I want to change a setting on the router, I have to restore the router to factory settings and restore the previous settings before I can make the change. This implies two reboots and a lot of hassle for something that should be achievable within a webpage of simple configuration at any time.

    Let me explain how this happens. When you connect two routers and you want to have the same network on both routers, you must connect the LAN to LAN routers and disable the DHCP server on one of them. If I keep the DHCP server on the Linksys, I don't know why, gateway / router my ISP ceases to provide internet. Even if I change the LAN IP of the gateway to be within the range of the Linksys allocation DHCP IP range, all computers that never connect to the network get their DNS address automatically (it is empty). I was able to disable the DHCP and still no internet on bridge / router my previous ISP, so I don't think that disabling DHCP of the gateway must disable its internet (but for some reason, this is the case with the new access provider). So the only availiable is to disable DHCP on the Linksys router. While all cameras, wired or wireless, can connect to the internet perfectly in this configuration, by design (http://www.linksys.com/ca/support-article?articleNum=132275, search for "you will not be able to access the web-based configuration page" inside the page) This disables the page of the Linksys router but also some of the functionality of outlets like printer sharing (I have not tested other features can disappear as well).

    While I don't dare argue that 'premium' functionality should always be available with the off DHCP protocol (although I strongly suspect that it should be possible to keep it available) of the fact that the configuration page disappears is a huge problem. This is because I know that as time passes I will need to change the settings here and there on the router such as port forwarding and storage sharing functions of the router.

    And even if I didn't change the settings frequently, it of not fair for me to have (relatively) paid a lot of money for the router and must accept having to reset the router to factory settings everytime I want to change a setting.

    I don't know why Linksys took the design decision to intentionally disable configuration page when the DHCP server on the router is turned off. The cheap D-Link router has managed to keep its configuration page to the top after I disabled the DHCP.

    So I say Linksys, please remove this unnecessary limitations (disabling the page config. when the service DHCP disabled and if possible also remove the deactivation of value-added functions (printer/storage, sharing, etc.) when the DHCP service is disabled). You will not be able to correct them before my product back from the ends of the window, but if solve you this problem, I will look into your routers the next time I have to buy a new.

    Hello.

    I solved the problem, fortunately. What is happening is that the linksys IP was on a different subnet that the ISP router assigned to the local network. Router of the ISP gave the address of 192.168.0.X subnet LAN but the Linksys is the 192.168.1.X subnet so anything on the network can access it. By changing the IP Address of the linksys to something in the 192.168.0.X subnet router I can access its configuration page now and all the features of "premium" of the router as the printer / hard drive/media sharing now work!

    I had to do a lot of testing with my older router and ISP router to discover the problem. It was later that I learned the technical explanation of what was going on after looking upward.

    What is the Linksys support page at http://www.linksys.com/ca/support-article?articleNum=132275 trying to say by saying "NOTE: when cascading of routers by using this method, you will not be able to access the configuration page of the secondary router web-based since it will have the same IP range as the main router.'? '" I do not know. But the page of the "secondary" router web-based configuration is still available after the waterfall it.

    I have to clarify that the steps that I had to do to solve my problem wasn't in the Linksys guide linked above. The guide will make anyone trying to cascade on the routers default IPs are on different subnets (eg. Linksys 192.168.1.1 with Cisco 192.168.0. 1) have the same problem I did. The guide mentions changing the fourth byte of the "secondary" router IP (eg. the '1' in the 192.168.0. 1) so that they are different to the 'main' and 'secondary' routers, but it says nothing about the second router (eg. 192.168.0 in 192.168.0.1) IP subnet which must be the local network of the "main/primary" router subnet

    Long story short, the official guide for Linksys I linked somewhere above does not cover a particular case when certain brands/models of router combinations are used and will not work in these cases. The guide should be updated so that the subnet of the IP address of the router being cascade is the same as that of the main router's LAN.

    So, I'm sorry Linksys to say something that was wrong on your products. Your routers do not hell their configuration Web page when their DHCP is disabled or when mount you them cascading, but the guide to http://www.linksys.com/ca/support-article?articleNum=132275 does not correctly handle routers whose default subnets are different.
