Do I need a router or access point / bridge?

Hi.  We have a MS small bus server with a software firewall.  It does dhcp and routes traffic so we don't need the router part of the router.
Wireless  N access is needed.  Will a DAP 1522 (Wireless N access point / switch) offer the same wireless performance as a Linksys wireless N router?
I just bought the DAP access point and am getting 100-130 mb/s with a strong signal.  Would the router work better with its giant antennae?
Nick

DAP 1522 is a good acess point. It  lets you connect up to 4 Ethernet-enabled devices such as set top boxes, game consoles, or computers to an existing Wi-Fi network for on-demand broadcast, online gaming, or media streaming throughout the home.
With dual-band wireless capabilities, the DAP-1522 is ideal for wireless HD video streaming and gaming applications because entertainment content can be sent over the less crowded 5GHz band.
The DAP-1522 can also be used to create a new 802.11n wireless network using its Access Point feature. Simply connect it to an existing wired or wireless router, and you'll enjoy greater range and data speeds in seconds.

  • Router and access point

    Likely either or. Of course if you "need" wireless you have to have an AP somewhere and many of them are capable of serving up DHCP and doing many functions of a small broadband thingy (I won't call these things "routers", "thingy" seems more appropriate)  :)

    which one i should use a router or access point to create a home network lab where i can play around with the DNS and DHCP configuration without changing the ISP router setting??

    The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
    If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.

  • Need Information For Connecting Access point to WLC 4402

    Hi Friends

    I need to Know  what I need to do in AP to connect to the Controller
    Do i need to Assign Static IP Address forAP or after connecting to the switch it automatically gets ip from DHCP and regsiter with controller??
    Do i Need to Configure my AP with default gateway(the switch to which is connected ?) & DO i need to configure the AP with  Controller Ip address ??
    Pls Assist

  • Aironet 1600 - A response was not received from the router or access point

    Hi,
    I'm trying to set up a wireless network with multiple SSID's. The new network only has CISCO products (router, switches). For the moment I'm trying to connect to 1 SSID (Windekind.Gast). the SSID is visible but when connecting devices have te folowing error message in the log:
    Connection status summary
    Connection started at: 2015-02-17 09:55:49-951
    Profile match: Success
    Pre-Association: Success
    Association: Fail
    Security and Authentication: Not started
    Root cause:
    Wireless association to "Windekind.Gast" failed
    A response was not received from the router or access point.
    Detailed root cause:
    Wireless association to this network failed. Windows did not receive any response from the wireless router or accesspoint.
    The signal is perfect (I'm only a few feet away from the AP).
    To make sure there is no dhcp problem I tested the swich port in access mode for vlan 30 which supplied an IP correctly. I'm really not seeing the problem and searched the web for days now! Any help would be very much appreciated! 
    Below the config of the access point (done via de web interface).

    Hi Rasika
    thanks for the reply! 10.0.0.81 belongs to vlan 1. I changed the config as suggested but no luck.. (same problems are logged in the event viewer). the ap is connected to a switchport in trunk mode and vlan 1 is the native lan (untagged). the port also is joined to vlan 30 (and others).
    Below the new config. Hope you can see an error..

  • 1300 Series Access Point/Bridge Power Injector - Using power over ethernet

    Can I use power over ethernet to supply the Injector with power?

    Hi Mikael,
    Sorry, this will not work. Have a look at these specs;
    1300 Series Power
    Power
    The access point/bridge receives inline power from the Cisco Aironet Power Injector (hereafter called the power injector). Dual-coax cables are used to provide Ethernet data and power from the power injector to the access point/bridge. The power injector is an external unit designed for operation in a sheltered environment, such as inside a building or vehicle. The power injector also functions as an Ethernet repeater by connecting to a Category 5 LAN backbone and using the dual-coax cable interface to the access point/bridge.
    The power injector is available in two models:
    Cisco Aironet Power Injector LR2 standard version (included with the access point/bridge)
    48-VDC input power
    Uses the 48-VDC power module (included with the access point/bridge)
    Cisco Aironet Power Injector LR2T optional transportation version
    12- to 40-VDC input power
    Note The power injector and the power module must not be placed in an outdoor unprotected environment. The power module must not be placed in a building's environmental air space, such as above a suspended ceiling.

  • Using old Sky router as Access Point

    Hello, I am new to the forum so I hope have posted correctly. Having recently moved house I have switched to BT from Sky and have been supplied with the HH5 and the Infinity package. Due to house lay out wifi signal is not great throughout. I am wanting to use my old Sky (Sagem 2504n, I think) router as an access point. Is this possible or would need to flash the old sky router in order to do this. My first attempt did not work (when I try to set ip in sky router to within HH range I get an error message). Basically it would be good to know if I need to flash the firmware or if it is possible to do with the sky router as is before I aware too much more time.. Any help much appreciated!
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You should be able to use it as a wired access point provided you change the IP address, and disable DHCP.
    This guide, for a Voyager router, should give you some idea of the settings to use.

  • My router and access point reboots when trying to stream content from iOS devices or mac to my apple tv.

    the zycel N series access point and cisco router reboots when i try to stream or mirror onto apple tv using air play. What can be the cause of the problem?

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Any change?
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
    Stop plug-ins to save power
    Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Log out and log back in. Any change?
    Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • Wirelessly adding a new device: Router versus Access Point versus Bridge

    My home network consists of a Linksys WRT54GS Wireless router with a couple hardwired PC and a wireless laptop. I want to wirelessly connect my TiVo into this network to download saved video onto the hardwired PCs, and to give my TiVo access to the internet (it currently uses a phone line). It looks to me like the choices to include the TiVo into my home network are to connect it (wired) to:
    (1) a Wireless Access Point (WAP54G),
    (2) a Wireless Bridge (WET54G), or
    (3) another Linksys Router (WRT54G) configured as WAP (router mode rather than gateway).
    Are all three options above valid options? If so I would like to understand what the differences between these choices are, and under what circumstances would one be better than the other.
    As part of this, is there a reason the Linksys Routers are much cheaper than the WAP or Bridge hardware. This is counter-intuitive since the Router appears to be the more complex hardware with multiple connectors, more memory, etc.
    Thanks.

    Well i would suggest you to get an Access point WAP54G as it works wirelessly & you will be able to use many pc's using it without a router.With WET54G you need to connect using the hardwired cable & you need to connect it using the cables to the pc's & configure it.With router you need another router & you can configure it accordingly in a wireless mode to make it act as an access point.

  • Router and access point connection

    Tried to get smart today, took and set up my network with a wrt54gs the other day and still have some headaches after finally getting things to work. but my idea was to take my old wrt54g router and place it at the other end of my house for the wii system. I took the old router and changed the setting from gateway to router and gave it a new internal ip address. Everything worked fine, all the wired and wirless computers including the wii worked great, but when I went to my computer, where I installed the easylink program, it showed I changed networks. Do the setup crap again and it can not find the router but showed the old one as the new netork and could not connect, could not get internet or anything at this computer. But every other computer throughout the house was working great and connected to the net with no problem, the only one not connecting is the only one with easylink keeping it from connecting.
    So I disconnect the added router/access point and had to run setup again with easy link, once it was up again I reconnect the old router and everything was great, showed the old as an access point and all the devices on the network. So things are great until I close my lid and my computer goes into standby, when I open it up I have the same problem again, but this time I know what to do, and I find as long as I keep this computer on all is great, shut it down all others equipment still works fine all except for the one computer with easylink on it.
    Any ideas on to resolve this, I know people in the forums have said for a long time you can't use the two routers the way I have them set up, but it works great, the only problem is easylink keeps screwing me up on the one computer, if I moved the program to another computer it will do the same to that one and leave this one connecting just fine. So far my experience with easylink has been horrible, the only reason it was installed was because the box said it must be installed prior to anything else. before I just plugged things in and put in the settings I needed and life went on.

    Hey,
    I think you can try to update the firmware of the router, to check if that stops connection dropping. To update the firmware of router try this:
    Go to www.linksys.com/download and select correct model number and version number. Download the firmware and save it on your computer.
    Check the file it should be firmware image file like .bin etc. If it is a compressed zip file extract it to get firmware image file.
    Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name.
    Go to administration tab there
    Go to firmware update sub-tab there
    Browse for the firmware image file and click update
    When update completes turn off modem & router.
    After 2 minutes turn on modem and after 2 more minutes turn on router & it will definately work!!!

  • How to add a second router as access point and wifi signal extender

    Previously I had 2 linksys routers and was able to configure them as one in separate areas of my house.  I think it is called cascading.  The 2nd router acted as an ethernet switch with 4 extra ports and it provided a wifi signal to areas of my house that previously had a weak signal when I used only one router.
    I have since switched to an Airport Extreme as my main router.  I can't seem to get the same configuration with the linksys router, it is Model E1000 and has an "N" signal.  The Linksys E1000 I think is the newer model of the old WRT54G Linksys.  I can't get it configured to work.  I have searched high and low on the internet and can't find anything simple enough for a novice to understand.  I did read something that I may have to assign a "DHCP Reservation" on the Apple Extreme.  I couldn't figure that out.
    Can somebody please offer some guidance on how to get this to work?
    Thanks

    You have two routers producing two networks with the same name, so they will show up as two networks on any type of scan by a wireless utility. This is normal.
    If you had used two Linksys devices, they would probably show up as one network, not two. Linksys has a feature that allows this to occur, but this is not true of Apple devices.
    As long as the wireless network name, wireless security and password match up between the two routers, the two networks will behave as if they were one. As computers change location, they will automatically connect to the wireless access point with the strongest signal.

  • Need help finding wired access point or range extender?

    I currently have a EA6500 in a rather large home.  (4500 sq ft)   The router is on one side of the house and my office is on the other side of the house where wireless does not work well.   I am trying to use Samsung Tablet but the connection keeps dropping here.  when I move the tablet closer it works fine.
    Is there a range extender/access point I can purchase to use with the EA6500 where I can connect device via wired ethernet?
    If I connect range extender/access point to EA6500 router via wireless the signal in my office appears too weak to be extended properly?  I tried the RE1000 but was not successful.
    Please let me know if there is another product to try.
    Thank you.

    Was this extender working fine before and you’re trying to reconfigure its settings? In order for this to work properly, the wireless settings for the main router should be synchronized to it. After making sure that the wireless settings are synchronized, place the extender to an area in between the router and where you want to repeat the signal. If you will encounter connection problems after setting up the extender, you can reset the extender and reconfigure the settings. Make sure as well that the firmware is upgraded. For more info about setting up the range extender, you can refer to the following links:  What to do before manually setting up your range extender, Setting up the range expander without the installation CD, Getting to Know the WRE54G v3.

  • Need to reset 1231 Access Point from LW mode, to standard mode

    How do I do this?
    I've tried the clear lwapp commands, and nothing seems to help.
    Do I need to load a new IOS?

    Using a TFTP Server to Return to a Previous Release
    Note This section does not apply to Cisco C3201WMIC and Cisco C3201LAP.
    Follow these steps to revert from LWAPP mode to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS release using a TFTP server:
    Step 1 The static IP address of the PC on which your TFTP server software runs should be between 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.30.
    Step 2 Make sure that the PC contains the access point image file (such as c1200-k9w7-tar.122-15.JA.tar for a 1200 series access point) in the TFTP server folder and that the TFTP server is activated.
    Step 3 On the PC where the TFTP server is located, perform these steps:
    a. Disable any software firewall products, such as Windows firewall, ZoneAlarm firewall, McAffee firewall, or others.
    b. Ensure all Windows files are visible. From Windows Explorer, click Tools > Folder Options > View > Show hidden files and folders.
    Step 4 Rename the access point image file in the TFTP server folder to c1200-k9w7-tar.default for a 1200 series access point, c1130-k9w7-tar.default for an 1130 series access point, and c1240-k9w7-tar.default for a 1240 series access point.
    Step 5 Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.
    Step 6 Disconnect power from the access point.
    Step 7 Press and hold MODE while you reconnect power to the access point.
    Step 8 Hold the MODE button until the status LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds) and then release.
    Step 9 Wait until the access point reboots, as indicated by all LEDs turning green followed by the Status LED blinking green.
    Step 10 After the access point reboots, reconfigure it using the GUI or the CLI.

  • Router and access point connected to FIOS router

    Here's my situation.  Just installed Verizon Fios which supplies their own Actiontec Wireless router.  I have an existing network which comprises a WRTG54Gv6 which was connected to a DSL modem for internet access originally and a WAP54G accesss point as a Repeater to extend the network wirelessly.  I have quite a few wired and wireless connection to this netwrok and wish to retain these devices. My question is, based on where I had to connect the new FIOS router(which is where the access point is) can I connect the WAP54 to the FIOS router(through a switch) and allow the combined WAP54/WRT54G network to still provide my network services and deactivate the wireless service from the FIOS router. How do I configure the FIOS router, the WRTG54 and the WAP54(if change neded).
    Thanks in advanced if anyone can help.

    Easiest way to configure the Verizon FIOS with Linksys is - Leave the Verizon FIOS unplugged from the Linksys Router and disconnect it's power cable.
    1. Connect a computer to the Linksys Router it's Internet Port...
    2. Access the web interface of the Linksys Router, change it's default address to 10.10.10.1 and leave it's DHCP Server Settings 'Enabled'. Once done you should Power cycle the Linksys Router.Don't change the Router Mode.
    3.Connect Verizon FIOS from it's Ethernet Port to the Linksys Router on the Internet Port.
    4. See if you can access the Internet...
    You can also have a look at this link to connect two routers.However, both the router's used in the link are linksys routers but you can still follow the link.
