• Cisco SPA232D ATA and Cisco SPA302D Wireless roaming handset

  I read the documentation of SPA 232D and I see that it supports up to 5 stations 302D SPA.

  In this project, I have 4 floors and we need a total of 15 phones:

  3 - basement

  5 - ground

  4 - first floor

  3 - second floor

  When the person is using the basement 302D phone have no reception when they walk on the upper floor.

  Can we do roaming between 232D? Is it possible to interconnect their? The range in the documentation may not be enough.

  What would be the recommended Cisco solution for this, we want to use DECT.

  Range: Indoor: 165 ft (50 m). Outdoor: 980 ft (300 m)

  Thanks for thinking of the spa232d for this project,

  Unfortunately with the current firmware it does not support combined roaming between base stations.  There is not an easy way to transfer between units handsets (you must unsubscribe from a base station and register again with the 2nd spa232d).

  The distance of the datasheet is optimal in a perfect environment, and I expect to be a little less real world.

  I woud suggest get a spa232d and a spa302 (maybe a dealer demo unit) and test range on the customer site.  Basically, do a site survey to see where the best place in the unit.

  If you need more 5 units on a floor, or signal will not reach both ends of the beach, 2 - spa232d devices may be necessary.  Some devices would be recorded to one, some to the other.

  There is good documentation on configuration and management with the device calls here.

• A WRT160N V3 can be used as wireless access point.

  I have an AT & T's broadband router.  A WRT160N is connected, so I now have Wireless N capabilities.  I have a second WRT160N I want to put in my living room as a point of access, so I can connect my BluRay player and video stream.  How can I configure the second WRT160N as access point?

  Thank you in advance,

  Andrew

  Topic 1. Yes, you can use your second WRT and put in place as a second access point to your network. First of all, unplug the second WRT to your network and wire a computer in one of its LAN ports. Open the web interface at http://192.168.1.1/ on the main configuration page, change the address LAN IP of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2 and disable the DHCP server. Save the settings. Unplug the computer and connect the cable to the first router on one of the second router's LAN ports. Do not use the internet port of the second router! Now you can use the wireless access point in the second router as access point additional for your network.

  For a wireless roaming the two Wrds with identical wireless settings (SSID, wireless security, etc.) and don't forget to enable the SSID broadcast. Only the channel assignments should be different. Different channels spaced at least 5 avoids duplication of canals. Now your laptop can connect to your network via either WRT and internet through the first WRT. It must also be able to move between the two Wrds without losing the connection.

  Re 2. Because the WRT160N has only the ethernet 10/100 ports a CAT5e cable should do. Of course, you can consider getting a better cable, for example a cat6 for future enhancements to your network. It depends on how much effort it is necessary to replace the cable later if you decide to go for gigabit ethernet on your local network.

• Airport Extreme to extend Time Capsule Gen1

  I just bought an Airport Extreme and wonder if I set up correctly to maximize my wireless speed.

  1 Internet provider router

  2 Time Capsule Gen - 2 to - 2 802.11n (NETWORK WITHOUT WIRE ORIGINAL "MAX")

  3 airport Extreme (NEW) - 802.11ac 'MAX-EXTREME.

  Wired router ISP, connects to Time Capsule (MAX)

  Wired router ISP, connect to Airport Extreme

  During the installation of MAX-EXTREME, I opted for 'extend' by using MAX-EXTREME MAX. While "MAX" is broadcast in my house. What is the optimal configuration?

  Let me know if I should reconfigure the network.

  I want to just make sure I am maximizing my wireless speed and range.

  Thank you!

  You cannot extend when you link Ethernet... you created a loop of large networks.

  Router ISP... Ethernet... Max-Extreme... Ethernet... SCI

  In this configuration, the TC is configured in bridge... and creates a... wireless network you can use the same name and the same Max-Extreme security... This is called roaming network. Never use measurement when you plug ethernet to a router.

  OR

  Router ISP... Ethernet... Max-Extreme... wireless. SCI

  In this configuration, TC is set to expand wireless Max-Extreme... no wired connection.

  The first configuration is far superior. And apple recommends to install more wireless roaming range.

• Extend the network wireless with roaming function

  Hello

  I was looking for some advice on my project to the top. I currently have my SKY router (wifi off) connected to an older time capsule which is almost full, so I'm about to buy a new one and I can use the old one plus one new airport extreme/express to extend the network of thought. I think three points would be best as its quite a large sector, I wish to address. I would like that it either under one SSID using the roaming capabilities I've read are possible with the airports and would hand off a signal strong etc.

  Unfortunately, I don't have the option of it being fully wired but planned to use the powerline rather than wifi adapters because I don't want to lose too much speed. I use power lines now an extension of netgear and performance are pretty good with very little loss, although the multiple SSID bothers me so want to change.

  Can someone advise if the setting above would work or if there is a better way (without cabling package together) and if I would be best for extreme or the express for the 3rd point?

  If anyone has any configuration Advisor if this is the best set up then that would be also appreciated?

  Thank you very much

  Iain

  I use power lines now an extension of netgear and performance are pretty good with very little loss, although the multiple SSID bothers me so want to change.

  Configure each extension to use the exact same network name (SSID), the same level of security wireless and same password wireless. Then you will have a roaming network.

• Can the utility Airport automatically adjust a mobile wireless network to a non roaming wireless network?

  Greetings,

  I have expanded my wireless Ethernet (network roaming) cable network.

  The Time Machine (primary base station) and the Airport Extreme (base station #2) lights is green and two base stations work properly when played back via the AirPort Utility.

  I disconnected the cable Cat5 LAN of the time Machine (happening at the WAN on the Airport Extreme connection) assuming that the go-ahead would begin orange flashing on the Airport Extreme.  He did not.  Everything always worked as far as I could tell.  If I had the cable connected or not, everything worked again 'normal' as it should as far as I could tell.

  So here's my question: by disconnecting the ethernet cable from the Airport Extreme, does mean that automatically toggled Airport Airport Extreme for a network utility not travelling?  In other words, rather than extend the network via ethernet, wireless network is expanded wireless?

  What Miss me?

  Return to the configuration with the Ethernet cable connected to AirPort Extreme

  Open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Extreme, then click on modify in the window that appears

  Click on the Wireless tab at the top of the screen

  Check the current setting of the network Mode

  He must "create a wireless network.

  Is it?

  If this is not the case, the AirPort Extreme has never configured for a roaming set up in the first place.

• Roaming wireless (WAP4410n) problem

  Hello, I have two WAP4410n and I want to use on the go. Both points configured to use the same SSID, psk key, but used different channels (5 and 9). The problem is that sometimes second point is not accessible until I have restart it. I connect to the wlan using the first point that move to the room with the second and there is no roamig. Is it a problem of point or wrong settings?

  Hi there, transparent 'roaming' is not really feasible without a controller wireless LAN. Your only option with the WAP4410n is as a function of repetition, and this camera has a known history of abandonment of connectivity.

• Allowing roaming between Standalone AP wireless

  Hi all

  I am about to purchase 2 Aironet APs, or 1140 or 1160 series for a small business. I know too little about the installation of the AP. Can someone guide me how to leave the two APs roaming works so that users can move freely on the site without having to drop and to connect from one access point to another.

  Best regards

  Mr. Nadim Islam

  As long as the ssid and encryption are the same, and there is overlap between the cells, the customer must move between the AP.

• WDS Airport Roaming vs vs Extended Network

  Hello friends,

  In a roaming network, all airports have the same wireless network name and wireless security settings. If I'm not mistaken in WDS also the same rule should be followed. Is also applicable to a network of Airport Extreme Extended (1 main base station connected to a broader base station)?

  If this is the case then a user can move freely between these extremes of the airport with the same user name and password in any scenario 3. So what is the difference besides the AEs interconnected via ethernet and wireless in 3 different topology?

  Thank you.

  In a roaming network, all airports have the same wireless network name and wireless security settings. If I'm not mistaken in WDS also the same rule should be followed.

  It is basically correct. Routers for Apple, there are three types of networks "scopes": 1) expanded that using wireless connections between fixed stations, 2) Roaming using connections between base stations, & 3) Wireless Distribution System (WDS) wired. WDS uses also all wireless connections.

  The first two replaced WDS that was designed to be used only with the old base station 802.11 g. He has a major advantage. You can extend a network in a series as employed the use of a "main", "relay", and "distance" base stations. This feature is not embedded with the new models, elongated or Roaming.

  Is also applicable to a network of Airport Extreme Extended (1 main base station connected to a broader base station)?

  For the most part, Yes. The extended base station that's exactly right and the extension of the primary Wi - Fi network. So it would have the same network name and use the same type of security and password.

  If this is the case then a user can move freely between these extremes of the airport with the same user name and password in any scenario 3. So what is the difference besides the AEs interconnected via ethernet and wireless in 3 different topology?

  The main difference is overall performance of bandwidth of a Wi - Fi. Maintaining an extensive network using wireless connections only requires treatment of additional network traffic. This overload can reduce the bandwidth available to normal wireless traffic. This problem does not exist with a roaming network.

  The other problem with a network extended wireless all is loss of bandwidth. Each added to the extended network, base station reduces overall bandwidth almost in half. Again, this is not a problem with the network of mobile type.

  Finally, with a network extended wireless all base stations which extend to extend the hand to the same bandwidth it receives from the hand to this place. So the wireless clients connected to one of the extension of base stations will produce ever and when then are connected to the main.

• Network configuration of Roaming Wifi problem I just bought an Airport Extreme and I intend to use it as my router

  I just bought a refurbished Airport Extreme and I intend to use it as my router & combine with our old time Capsule of existing one to create a roaming Wifi network.

  The new Airport Extreme (renovated) is in my studio/Office - directly connected to our internet broadband wireless (WAN port)

  Our small ethernet is connected to my iMac [mid 2010 running OSX 10.11.5] & a PC and extends up to 2 other domains through an ethernet switch.

  This configuration works very well, our internet speed has improved slightly - better than our old T-Link router bit.  WiFi available throughout the House - better on one side.

  Time Capsule (2 TB) is connected by ethernet on the far side of the House, offer backup Time Machine and strong Wifi to this area.

  This time Capsule was an existing installation that went perfectly with the T-Link before I bought the Airport Extreme.

  I used the Airport utility to set everything up and it seems to work.

  The problem is:

  Combines the Capsule and extreme connected & active, the Internet gradually slows down and grinds to stop. -Wifi seems to follow suit, but is much more gradual.

  If I disable the Time Capsule, the internet connection is back to normal, Airport Extreme Wifi signal is strong and extends to almost all areas.

  I got to the departure of the two units configuration problems, so I reset both factory default and from that moment managed to do all this work - with the exception that the internet connection slows down.  Whenever I visit a different web site, it takes more time to load/link upward.

  I spoke with our ISP, the link to our tower is solid. The technology suggested that I put Wifi on each unit to use a different channel (2 frequencies & several channels each available).

  So far, this has not resolved the problem, I will continue to make adjustments.

  I googled this - most of the answers are not to date - usually 2012, 13, 14. and not directly related to my situation.  But I will continue my search.

  I'd appreciate if anyone here has any suggestions

  The new Airport Extreme (renovated) is in my studio/Office - directly connected to our internet broadband wireless (WAN port)

  What is the number and the model of the modem or modem/router that your ISP has provided you?

  Should we assume that you use a Mac with the help of a current or recent operating system?

  If you get out of the Capsule of time and leaves disabled for now, the network AirPort Extreme continue to run at full speed for a few hours and not slow down?

  We ask these questions because we must first confirm that the AirPort Extreme works properly until we can begin to troubleshoot the connection to Time Capsule.

• Can I plug two Airport Express units with ethernet cord and have a third Airport Express Terminal receive airplay music wirelesslly? In other words, can I combine a Wi - Fi network and roaming?

  I have an undesirable on the 1st floor, connected to the cable modem Ethernet event. I want to connect that AE to an another AE on 2nd floor with ethernet cable AND have a 3rd AE on the 1st floor to receive music through AirPlay wireless. I thought that linking the two first AEs with ethernet would improve the performance of web site on my iMac desktop, which is on the 2nd floor and connects to the 2nd floor AE via wifi. The EI the first two are newer model (MC414LL/A); the 3rd AE is old model (MB321LL/A) and is connected to a stereo Bose with a mini-jack to RCA cable double cord. I tried to set up this network using AirPort Utility, but have had no success. I don't know if it is possible to do what I want to do; and if this is the case, I don't know how to set the various parameters for each AE using AirPort Utility. I've temporarily implemented a purely wireless network; Do not connect DO NOT the two AEs with ethernet and everything works. I would enjoy my plan as above, or if I hold with purely network wireless. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Using ethernet network roaming between the two floors is a much better idea than anything wireless.

  The installation should be automagical if you start with the two AE plugged in by ethernet.

  It must be configured in standard roaming with identical names wireless.

  If you have any questions... Please, just after the airport utility screenshots of the configuration... but

  An express train is probably the router? You must confirm this.

  The second express is so configured in bridge... It's on the network tab, disable the bridge mode.

  

  Without thread is set to create a wireless network and simply use the same name and the same password as the other Express.

  As it should be automagical when you WAN on the second AE plugged into the LAN on the first AE.

  Wireless and then extend to will also be installed enough well automatically even if sometimes it works better in a client that extend wireless mode.

  See the Client mode.

• Time capsule and extreme; Cannot create the roaming network

  Problem: when you try to create a network roaming with time capsule and extreme, the wifi hangs and the network is up and down. Here are my deets:

  TC and extreme as well have the latest firmware of the 7.7.7 are the latest generation of products, purchased in the last 12 months

  TC is connected to Arris SB6183

  ISP is Cox North san diego County

  TC is then connected to the netgear GS105. (upstairs)

  NETGEAR GS105 then connects to GS108 (down in the patch panel in the closet of the master bedroom)

  1 x GS108 port connects to extreme

  I can get the stable network and works correctly as long as I don't have connected and extreme.

  I followed the instructions provided by apple in their "how to set up a roaming network.

  I have hard reset the devices apple repeatedly in my attempt to get things to work

  I started a Wan shortly ago at the connected WiFi and that was stable and work for not more than 30 minutes and then it went offline.

  So here I am now. Unable to get back online and stable with two apple devices connected network.

  System was stable and working well before the upgrade to 7.7.7. I had a wifi connected network not a roaming network at the time.

  Any suggestion would be great and really appreciated.

  Thank you

  After screenshots of the TC and AE installing airport utility.

  I suspect that you simply have something set wrong...

  Main error is to use extend wireless when it is connected by ethernet... This will create a loop and bring down the network.

  The two units must be defined to create a wireless network... both must use the same name (SSID) and the same password, but must be set to different channels.

  It is almost impossible in this case crashing the network since the two are completely independent Wireless Access Points... (WAP).

  The TC must be in router mode... EI must be in the bridge (bridge mode off on the network tab.)

• Problem of Time Capsule Roaming Network airport

  I'm having a problem by establishing a network of roaming.  When I plug my extender devices in ethernet cables through a switch to my Time Capsule base station, my wifi signal drops 150 + MBS next to the base station to < 10 mbs.

  I have a wifi in my home network based on a new time Capsule airport base station (ATCBS) running firmware c. 7.7.7.  I have my 4th gen AEBS & a 2nd gen Airport express both race v. 7.6.7 updated firmware in place in Bridge mode to extend my network in different rooms in my house. The system works very well, but I wanted to increase the power of the signal in remote places so decided I would like to convert it to a mobile network by installing ethernet cables to connect my ATCBS the AEBS and express extensions.  I use a switch Netgear 5 port (NOT of GS205-100) that I only have a single LAN fanless available left port on my ATCBS.

  I installed 3 ethernet lines-1 each in rooms with my ATCBS and airport express using mounting wall punch down taken using the convention of wiring 568B, AEBS.  These lines all end with male plugs in a unique space in the basement and are also wired as 568B.  Then I plug the ATCBS, AEBS and express lines in the switch in this remote area.

  I've done a few connection cables in the role of Cat 6 cable, I had over the House, and they all very well with my cable Tester check so I know the cable itself is not defective.  The cables all run in the basement where I can see, so I know there is not any problem to be crimped/damaged.  I have not any gear to test the installed well son.  I visually inspected the male and female (punchdown) ends to ensure that colors are properly prepared.  I did a test of my jacks punchdown conductivity by testing 8 wires on the sides of the socket and the pins in gold on the inside where an ethernet cable connecting between the cut ends.  All wires are correctly leads to the appropriate pins.

  If I plug just the ATCBS into the switch next to him and using a good patch cable I see no change in the strength of the Wifi.  If I can plug my express (also moved to the room of the base station) using another cable good patch in the switch, wifi drops as described above.  If I plug the ATCBS on the new socket and the switch at the other end - no change in force wifi.  If I plug the express in its remote location system also uses the new ethernet cable installed for him and passing through the switch, I get the wifi signal reduction.  I get the same result if I take the express up to thevbasemenbt and plulg the switch with a connecting cable).  It seems therefore that the problem may not be with the newly installed cables that I get the same result by using or by using cables good patch, and with the switch in the same room with the ACTBS.  It doesn't matter how I'm trying to connect all the devices together, plug extender devices into the system brings the WiFi falling to almost nothing.

  Any ideas on what could happen?

  I'm having a problem by establishing a network of roaming.  When I plug my extender devices in ethernet cables through a switch to my Time Capsule base station, my wifi signal drops 150 + MBS next to the base station to < 10 mbs.

  That's what happens when you initially set up the device to the airport "extend" using a wireless signal... and then later connect an Ethernet cable to the unit of the airport.

  Since the airport is configured to connect wireless and waiting for a wireless connection, the Ethernet connection and then creates a feedback loop massive on the entire network... in fact, basically crashed the network.

  Basically, you have to start over again with the AEBS and AirPort Express and "Apple Installation Wizard" to set things upward. It's practically automatic. All you need to do is assign a device name to each airport and the wizard supports all the rest.

  After the back if you need some advice on how to correctly configure things.  You can be amazed at how simple, it comes... and surprised by the wizard settings apply.

• With 2 monkeys roaming network connected to the internet

  Hello

  My apologies if this has been discussed (I did some search but did not find anything useful). I have the question realted following a change in my network topology:

  current installation:

  -Cable modem is connected to the WAN port on my Time Capsule (3 TB Tower). Transport CANADA acts as DHCP unit (modem is silent, that is without router)

  -Port LAN of the TC is connected to the WAN of the MONKEY #1 via CAT6 Ethernet port.

  -MONKEY port LAN #1 is connected to the WAN of the MONKEY #2 port

  -Port LAN EPA # 2 is connected to the WAN of the MONKEY #3 port

  -all the monkeys (the latest models of Tower) Act in Bridge mode, but create a WLAN.

  I like that, a roaming welll workign network throughout the House.

  New installation / planned:

  -J' changed from cable to fiber to the home. So now I have a new box of fiber that offer Internet via 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports.

  -The new fiber box is physically located between the TC and the #1 MONKEY.

  -without having to pull a new cable in the box of fiber for the TC (for feed on the Internet in the beginning of the string), I was thinking about this:

  -1 Ethernet cable from fiberbox to the TC and feed the Internet through another Ethernet into the WAN port on the #1 MONKEY in the remaining string.

  -Switch the TC using the Bridge so that the fiber box making the DHCP

  However, now the TC is is more directly connected to the chain of the EPA.

  QUESTIONS RELATING TO THE:

  -I'll always be able to have a mobile network, or I will with 2 networks, i.e. 1 created by TC and 1 piloted by monkeys?

  -all Clients on the network will see always shared devices (printer, for example) on the network?

  Thank you very much for your expert advice on this.

  Rgds,

  Sascha

  -run 1 Ethernet cable from fiberbox to CT...

  -Switch the TC using the Bridge so that the fiber box making the DHCP

  It should work.  (See Note below)

  feed the Internet through another Ethernet into the WAN port on the #1 MONKEY in the remaining string.

  It should work. (See Note below)

  However, now the TC is is more directly connected to the chain of the EPA.

  Since the TC is connected to Ether even switch on the product of the fiber to which EPA #1 is also connected... TC and AE #1 are, indeed, also linked together.

  I'll always be able to have a roaming network

  Yes

  -all Clients on the network will see always shared devices (printer, for example) on the network?

  Yes, assuming the fiber box works properly.

  Important note... Your plan to have the TC and the MONKEY in Bridge Mode expected to work... BUT... Apple has another idea on how a mobile network should be configured. See the information on a roaming network in this Apple support document:

  Wi - Fi base stations: extend the reach of your network wireless by adding additional base stations Wi - Fi - Apple Suppo...

  More precisely... Apple will tell you to connect an Ethernet cable from the product of the fiber to the WAN on the TC port and set the TC for managing DHCP and NAT... just as it does now.  Then... all the rest would be put in place just as you have it now... with a connection Ethernet between a LAN port on the TC to the WAN on EPA #1, LAN on EPA to WAN on EPA #2 #1, etc..

  If you follow the advice of Apple... you'll get an error Double NAT on your network... Apple who will tell you to ignore. How well your network will work with a Double NAT problem is open to question.

  I don't recommend to follow advice Apple... just pointing out that Apple has different ideas and interesting on how to do things, which sometimes goes against the traditional rules of network management.

• Adjustment to the high network roaming in condo wired Ethernet (no Modem)

  HI - our condo has one Ethernet Jack in every room with the signal directly from the building router. The IP address is unique for all the outlets in our condo.

  In my office, I have a cable of the Time Capsule to taking Ethernet to my office. I have other devices connected to the TC, so he needs to stay there. Unfortunately, it is not very centrally located in our condo.

  In our room, the signal often falls because it is the longest distance in our condo to the TC. But... we have an ethernet jack in our room.

  So I bought an AirPort Express, but the installation seems to really push "extended network" wireless. Because the signal is somehow in our room, it is unnecessary to EI in there. So I set to halfway between the two. On the floor, not in a large space.

  I would like to set up a 'of roaming network', but I can't seem to reproduce the screen shot in these instructions:

  Wi - Fi base stations: install and configure a roaming network (802.11 a/b/g/n)-Apple Support

  But, in addition, their illustrations make it look like the AE should be wired in the TC.

  I tried using the WAN of AE port, but that didn't do it.

  Is this possible? Any direction would be great. Of course, I want the effect of the '1 network for our entire condo' and not switching WiFi networks for different parts of the housing.

  Thank you!

  Jon

  So I bought an AirPort Express, but the installation seems to really push "extended network" wireless.

  This happens when the Ethernet connection is not working, or you did not the Ethernet connection before trying to implement the Express. Use a short piece of spare Ethernet cable... any length will do... to connect the Express to the time Capsule to implement the Express in this way. After setting the Express up to... Move the Express at the remote location and the Ethernet connection it.

  If it doesn't work there, then you know that the Ethernet port or cable is not working properly.

  I would like to set up a 'of roaming network', but I can't seem to reproduce the screen shot in these instructions:

  Wi - Fi base stations: install and configure a roaming network (802.11 a/b/g/n)-Apple Support

  Unfortunately, these instructions are 4 years and more, so the General information of the document is good, the specificities of 'how to' would not be used. Instead, you use Apple 'Installation Wizard', which literally did almost everything for you automatically on the installer.

  After the back if you need some advice.
