WRT54G and DNS relay?

Hello everyone - I am considering the purchase of a unit of WRT54g.  Have a question...

I intend to have the IP-side WAN to give it to me via DHCP from ISP.  I expect that the ISP will provide info server DNS as well on the WAN side.

Is it possible to pass transparently this DNS information to my LAN using DHCP clients?  I'm not statically configure DNS for DHCP clients on the LAN side.  I'd rather them use some address DNS is given to the router.

Is this possible?

Thank you
Scott

Yes. This is the default behavior. According to the version of the firmware on the server and the router DHCP on the router either directly affects the DNS of the ISP servers or he assigns the DNS relay router, i.e. 192.168.1.1 aka it's own LAN IP address.

  • Time Capsule has lost the Internet connection and DNS servers

    I use a Time Capsule for Time Machine via Ethernet backups for a couple of years, use it in mode bridge taking its Internet connection directly from my router and connected in turn by Ethernet to my iMac. (Most of the time that I also had wifi off on my iMac and took my Internet directly via the TC Ethernet connection.) A few months ago I upgraded to El Capitan, and the TC has lost its connection Internet (flashing yellow). A few days later I drove back to the Yosemite (for other reasons - Mail had gone mad) to restore a backup of the TC and everything was fine again for a few months. It may or may not be meaningful I plugged TC yesterday to new laptop for my wife to support for the first time, and this laptop is running El Capitan. Since then, the TC has once more lost its Internet connection and DNS settings and is stuck on flashing orange. By clicking on the 'Internet connection' status alert, tells me that the TC is not a valid IP address.

    I have reset the TC, repeatedly and reconfigured but all without success. After consulting the other discussions, I also tried giving the unit an alphanumeric name with no spaces & special characters and change the IPv6 "Link-local" configuration only, but this did not affect the result. And I updated the firmware for good measure. Then I unplugged overnight and carried out a full power cycle the steps recommended here, restart the router, TC and the computer (and performed a factory reset on the TC, while the router & computer was turned off). After doing that, the TC has become undetectable by AirPort Utility, until I have reset reconfigured once again, he and ended up in the same place.

    It may or may not be important to mention the following:

    1 when you set the TC after a reset, I repeatedly selected the option of adding to an existing network instead of create a network, but the installation wizard who ignored each time.

    2. in the installation each time, this point, I shows me the following, which seems to suggest that there is a problem but don't say so explicitly:

    I would be grateful for any advice.

    Weird how everything's going well for a few years and then crazy when you have something will change.

    El Capo adds some network problems more... but something could be fundamentally wrong with the installer.

    Your current configuration, it is apparently bridged but cannot get an IP address. The address 169.254 is give it since it's self generated.

    You need to do a manual installation. It simply means the Assistant is unable for any reason to be your network so start over and do it manually of misfortune (wow, or also possible misery, woah being where you are now!) to go...!

    1. I need to know what modem you are connected. Make and model please?

    2. the most important. What is the main router on your network or a modem?

    I gave the edge to make manual settings a few times. Somehow my instructions for Yosemite/El Capo got lost... I'll try and hunt down them. In the meantime, the basic method remains the same.

  • OK to mix 'of connection to the switch"and"close relay switch?

    Hi all

    I'm developing a test sequence using the card multiplexer 2527 to the track signals.  To configure the card, I use DAQmx switch functions.  In my application, I have a Subvi routine that imports the data from a spreadsheet Setup and run a loop for to set the configuration for each step (each iteration of the loop contains the channel for 2527 card information).  The topology is set on the first iteration, as well as the configuration of the path to the first string.

    My concern is this: I need to close the extra channels/relays without changing the topology or resetting the device.  In the first round, I use "connection to the switch" function to set the initial path, (ch0 to com0 for example).  Then in subsequent iterations of the loop, I use "Relay close switch" function to close the additional channels individually (for example k2).  In the end, when the measure is taken, both ch0 ch2 must be closed and routed to com0.  This implementation is so sure, or am I somehow to make the adjustments to the initial loop?

    I would like to test this with the hardware, but it is not yet available.

    Also, I realize that I could use independent topology and configure all relays individually for each step, but I hope that my approach will be easier and safer.

    Please notify.  Thank you.

    GSinMN

    Hello GSinMN,

    It's OK to mix 'of connection to the switch"and"Close relay switch"If you understand what's happening below. "Switch Connect" connects two channels by closing a path of relay between the channels, then "Close relay switch" can be used to change the State of the individual relays. If you are not careful you can mess up your connection by activating / deactivating relays that are part of the route connecting your channels.

    "Also, I realize that I could use independent topology and configure all relays individually for each step, but I hope that my approach will be easier and safer."

    I would recommend the topology independent if you want to stick with connections to channels only. http://zone.NI.com/reference/en-XX/help/375472G-01/switch/2527_independent/

    Initial connection:

    CH0-> pcom0

    pcom0plus-> icom0plus

    pcom0minus-> icom0minus

    icom0-> com0

    In each future iteration just connect to the next to pcom0 channel (which will be indirectly connect it to com0):

    CH1-> pcom0

    CH2-> pcom0

    ...

  • WRT54G and WRT160NL Torrents

    OK so here is my setup. I have a wrt54g directly on my access to the internet at home. There his hard cable to my wrt160nl where my desktop computer is connected. I would like to open a port for a torrent program to use, but I have no idea how to do that. Ive looked around a few guides but haven't found one that works. any help is really appreciated! (im sure this has been posted b4 but still, I couldn't find any soultions for my situation)

    If you want to run the two WRT as a router and have two separate local networks, you will have a much more complicated installation and the port forwarding for your torrents can turn out to be complicated, if not impossible. You must configure the port forwarding on both routers.

    I highly recommend to use a single router with a LAN configuration. The second router will be used as a switch access point and equipment.

    For example like this:

    1. the WRT54G connect to your modem and a address LAN IP 192.168.1.1.

    2. the WRT160NL is configured with the address LAN IP 192.168.1.2. DHCP server disabled.

    3. the WRT160NL is connected by one of its ports LAN for the WRT54G. Do not use the internet port of the WRT160NL.

    The WRT54G deals now all functions related to the internet. Customers on the WRT160NL connect directly to your local network and through the WRT54G to internet. Port forwarding must be configured on the WRT54G and there only. It's the simplest and probably most reliable installation for you.

    Of course, you can also swap the two routers in the previous configuration, either you use the WRT160NL as internet gateway and the WRT54G only as an access point.

    The access points in both routers must be configured with different SSID as they use differnet wireless standards (unless you spend the WRT160NL wireless-g only).

  • Setup Airport Express: how to manually set the IP address and DNS?

    I just bought an Airport Express for the wifi in the ethernet cable that I have in my dorm room.

    To connect to the internet via the ethernet cable, I need to enter a number IP, DNS, gateway and mask provided by the dorm (as I did on my Macbook).

    The problem is that I don't see where I can do for the Airport Express. After I plugged the cable into it, it keeps wanting to configuration alone, which does not work (he's trying to "join the network" forever, without success).

    How can I configure IP, DNS etc. manually?

  • I use a VPN in AirPort Express. I've updated firmware for 7.7.7 and DNS assigned by my VPN does not work anymore. Upon entry, the icon 'internet' in utility Airpot turns brown, and the internet stops completely. Anyone have any idea?

    Why my internet connection dies? I use a VPN to my internet at home. I put the DNS numbers supplied by the company VPN in my airPort extreme, which, in turn, provides wireless for home. It worked perfectly until I updated to firmware 7.7.7. Suddenly the green light next to the 'internet' in airport Utility icon went Brown, and it is therefore most all internet. I put numbers in DNS to my ISP, and internet provider is displayed again. All the other numbers in DNS, whether it's Google, OpenDNS or VPN to stop the dead from the internet. Anyone has an idea about this?

    Airport base stations, are at best, a VPN-well past that device. It is a server or a VPN client. Upgrade to the latest firmware does not change this fact.

    To create a VPN tunnel using the AirPort Express Terminal, your computer must be running a VPN client that connects to a VPN server somewhere on the Internet. What DNS servers you use should make no difference with VPN.

    If the ISP-supplied DNS servers do not work, I would say that you contact your ISP to find out why they don't allow you to use them.

    What we need to study is more why you lose Internet connectivity when changing the DNS servers of your ISP. Please check with them and to report back, then we can try to help.

  • Firefox seems to be ignoring DNS TTL and DNS resolved cache indefinitely

    Hello

    Since we started to serve our js and css by CloudFront a few weeks ago, we started to see a problem with Firefox, where these goods would not sometimes be charged.

    So far, the only way I could reproduce the problem has been to load our home page in the afternoon, without closing my browser and then refresh the page the next day morning. I know it's pretty extreme, but some customers reported this problem, which means that it happens in both real life scenarios. We have been able to reproduce it on Windows and OSX from our office in New York and Krakow, Poland.

    I used Firebug to track down this problem and it seems that Firefox is ignoring the TTL of DNS queries when looking for URLS and caches them almost indefinitely. Due to the constant rotation of the CloudFront servers, after enough time the cached IP address server unresponsive and all applications are abandoned (applications abandoned on the screenshots). That sounds like a plausible explanation? Has anyone have the same problem and has a solution for this?

    Screenshot taken: 2013 - 06-13 at 22:29:30 watch the page loaded with success, then one taken on 2013-06-14 at 09:33:30 watch tab firebug "Net" with all requests of the asset given up. Force-refresh the page several times allows, as shown in the screenshot of 09:34:03.

  • Help please with two extremes and DNS

    Hello

    I hope someone can help.

    My setup

    Modem-router ADSL with WiFi turned off >

    Airport extreme connected by ethernet to the Modem/Router - create a wireless network, a static IP - Bridge Mode - >

    Airport extreme connected by ethernet to the Airport extreme - create a wireless - Mode Bridge >-static IP address

    Both now have the status message - "no DNS - this Airport base station does´t server have a DNS server address and could have problems connecting to the Internet."  If the airport is in Bridge Mode is necessary enter the DNS server (no shows at what time the DHCP value)? I should give him the address of the modem/router or real DNS I see in my modem/router settings?

    Also the WiFi mode extend a wireless network is only fair for multiple extremes that extend wireless (No ethernet cable)?

    Thank you

    Turning off the modem/router

    Power off each AirPort Extreme

    Wait a minute

    Turn on the modem/router and let it run for a minute

    Put on single AirPort Extreme and check its status

    If the first AirPort Extreme looks good, the second turns on and check its status

    Report on the results

    If you're still having problems...

    The two extremes of the airport are working properly in the past... and this problem appeared just... or... is that what you are having trouble with a new configuration?

    When you say that every AirPort Extreme has a static IP address, this means that each AirPort Extreme has been configured to request a specific IP address... or... does that mean that you have configured your modem/router to provide a specific IP address for each AirPort Extreme?

    If you check the settings for each AirPort Extreme... each of them receives the static IP address that the router/modem is the assignment?

  • OR handset and other relays in the direction of the switch

    Hello

    I am beginner in products OR and now I want to solve a problem.

    If I know the relay and their connection paths. These relays are of NEITHER and some other producers. Can I Switch Executive put first and last point and automatically will join them using IVI drivers? Relay cards and theit drivers can be of different producers.

    Thank you.

    Sorg,

    As crossrulz said if you have a correctly installed and configured (in max) IVI driver Executive OR Switch can manage several types of products. This includes switching modules of NOR and switching of third party modules.

    To implement automatic routing, you may need to do additional things (such as: providing the report to show how the devices are connected, lines reserve for routing, put in place by the endpoints channel configuration, etc..) Once this is set up, then you can create a connection by specifying endpoints and it will automatically route the things for you.

    See you soon!
