1310 Wireless Repeater

Hello Team,
I have a partner and they have questions about the 1310:
Here's their scenario:
I'd like to be able to provide wireless bridge capabilites using the 1310 to connect a remote area to the main campus via wireless. I would also like to provide wireless access to laptops computers in the area of the 1310. This can be handled if the 1310 is setup as a "repeater". We may also have a need to provide wired access at this location through the ethernet port of the 1310. I know I can switch the radio role to "wireless bridge" but I dont know if that will eliminate the wireless access to laptop computers near the 1310.
Can the repeater mode utilize the ethernet port on the 1310 or is that only available in wireless-bridge mode? If its setup as a wireless bridge can we still have wireless devices near the 1310 connect to the wireless network?
Hope you could give your thoughts or any links for  reference..
Thanks
David

Did this work for you and if so what version of IOS are you using on your 1310? I have tried this same setup but was not successful.
Wireless clients work but the wired clients do not.
Thanks,
Brandon

  • Can I add a second airport as a wireless repeater?

    CAn I use a second airport extreme as a wifi repeater using the main router wifi?

    I am hoping an airport express can work as a wireless repeater WITHOUT having to be connected into the LAN via Ethernet cabling. Is this possible? In the manual online it seems that it only works as an extender (i.e. it must be plugged into the network router/switch) and can't repeat a wifi signal from one wifi device to an apple extreme base station. Can someone confirm this?

  • Airport Express as wireless repeater

    Hi all, just wondering if anyone could give me a hand. I have just bought an Airport Express (not arrived just yet) not just for streaming music, but for extending my network. I am a student and have just moved into my new house. The internet here already is fine, the people here before me have given me the password to the encryption but not to the account or the router. This will all change in September, however. The router is a Netgear DG834PN. My iMac is having difficulty connecting to the network, I think this is due to the distance it is away from the router, as when I connect the iMac upstairs (nearer to it) it connects fine, hence the desire for a wireless repeater. Will I be able to use the Airport Express as a repeater? If not, what must I do? Must I get an Apple wireless router as well? Will a time capsule be fine? Please remember I cannot access the DG834PN's graphical interface at all.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jake

    You will need to run an ethernet cable from the netgear to your airport express. then setup the airpor express as an access point. As you don't have access to the WebUI of the router then you wont be able to setup the airport express as a WDS or wireless repeater.
    The other option would be to connect a timecapsule to the router via ethernet. Setup the time capsule as a bridge to the router. Then you would be able to extend the wireless network with an airport express.

  • Wireless repeater using wrt54g and wap54g

    i am having problems connecting my wrt54g and wap54g as wireless repeater. my setup is as follows: 1. wrt54g (192.168.1.10) is connected to a dsl provider modem/router (192.168.1.1) (dhcp server). With this setup i do not have any problems connecting my wired pc and laptop to the network. 2. on my 2nd floor the signal is faint thus i need to extend the wireless signal. 3. i have a wap54g (192.168.1.12) that i would like to repeat the signal of the wrt54g. 4. i tried the guide from the website but it was general thus there are some settings (recommended) that are missing. questions: 1. does the 2 wireless ap need to have the same SSID, channel and wep settings? 2. what should be the gateway for the wap54g? 192.168.1.1? 3. when using wifi, would i see 2 access point? or a single 1 and whoever is nearer? 4. does the wrt54g need to be a dhcp server? or the 192.168.1.1 can do that. 5. does my ideal setup be 2 AP and not 1 wireless router/ap and 1 ap? 6. can the wrt54g use wireless distribution mesh? 7. i cannot see my wrt54g from the firware downloads, mine is v7 and there are only v6 and v8? am from asia and this might be an asian version? any help would be appreciated.

    what i did was the following: 1. enable wap54g as a wireless client to look for the main ssid. 2. copy the mac address to the option for wireless repeater. 3. i can now use the wap54g as a repeater. when i shut down everything and turn it on, i cannot again hook up. again, i have to do the steps above for the wap54g to act as a repeater. any idea on what the problem is? i am sure that what i am putting on the mac address is correct. even when i shut down and turn on all router and accesspoints. the connection seems lost.

  • Can WRG54G be a wireless repeater for WRG54GC or vice versa?

    I have a WRG54GC on second floor off cable modem and works wirelessly to 2 PCs. However, I do not have signal on the first floor opposite side of house. I cannot move the access point as that's where the cable modem comes in. Can the other router I have be programmed to act as a wireless repeater? Or vice versa?. If not, does the WRG54G have a longer range than the WRG54GC?

    well..the router only works as an access point..it cannot work as a wireless bridge or wireless repeater ...
    in order to repeat the wireless signal , you can get a wireless range expander ...

  • WRE54g as Universal Wireless Repeater?

    Hi, I own a Wag200g wireless router and I would like to extend its range with a WRE54g product. Is this possible? Are they compatible? I read somewhere in this forum that you can use some versions of the WRE54g as a universal wireless repeater. Is this true? Which versions are usable as UWR? Please bring some light on this ^_^ Thank you!

    I think this repeater is compatible with b/g 2.4 GHz wireless network. E3000 router is wireless N router. E3000 is also compatible with b/g wireless network. I think you should first contact the manufacturer of the repeater and make sure that it will work with N router. Sitecom WL-130 is basically wireless access point. You will need to configure it in repeater mode.
    Follow this link to configure Sitecom WL-130 in repeater mode.

  • 1310 Wireless Bridge problems

    I have a 1310 wireless bridge....when I power it up, it sometimes does not boot up. The I LED will just sit there and blink and the R and E LEDs will blink in unison with it. After a while just the I LED blinks. I cannot find any literature that tells me if this is an error code or not.
    Also, when the thing does boot up, it tells me that the Radio interface is down and disabled, when in fact if you go into the settings of the radio interface, it is selected to be enabled.
    What might be going on here?
    Thank you.

    No, there is nothing on the console port when the thing is in the condition described above.
    If I do get a successful boot, I can then access via a console port. I may try to reinstall firmware and see if that fixes the problem.
    So you are saying the radio link will show as disabled/down until it actually tries to associate/authenticate with another bridge unit? That is normal?

  • WRT 160n v2 as a wireless repeater

    I have a E4200 as my main router and would like to use my old WRT 160n v2 as a wireless repeater upstairs. I am getting the impression that I can't do that with v2...Is there any way I can make this work?

    If the User Manual or the routers UI doesn't mention or display any Repeater funtions, then it would not be supported. The next best option would be to wired LAN to LAN AP mode and set it up as a additional wireless AP:
    http://www.northshore-it.com/tips/how-tos/cascade_linksys/#LAN_to_LAN
    Or Cascade the router as BigDave mentioned.

  • WAP54G Wireless Repeater still has problems after setup

    I have a WAP54G configured as a Wireless Repeater to my WRT54GS router.  I have configured all equipment on my  wireless network (192.169.1.xxx) with static IP's.  My Router MAC has been entered in the WAP54G and the link works . . . kinda . . . .sorta. . . .with issues
    I also have an A/V receiver hard-wired to the RJ-45 at the Wireless Repeater.  I am able to access Internet Radio stations on the A/V Receiver thru the Wireless Repeater uplinked to the Router and out to Internet.  I also have a Synology NAS which is hard-wired back at my WRT54GS router.  Although the A/V Receiver can "see" all audio files and folders on my network NAS, I am unable to play any of the MP3 files.  The Receiver will immediately display "Access Error".  As a test, if I temporarily plug the NAS network directly into the A/V Receiver (threreby bypassing all of my home networking) all MP3's will play fine.  Therefore, the problem must either be in the WAP54G, the WRT54GS, or the configuration in one or both of them..
    My connections are:
    A/V Receiver ------ WAP54GS {{{{{{{{{ wireless }}}}}}}}}}} WRT54GS ----- CABLE Modem ------- Internet
    I also have a NAS directly hard-wired into one of the WRT54GS RJ-45 ports.
    My questions::
    1. When configured as a Wireless Repeater, wll the WAP54G still fully function with hard-wired devices connected directly into the RJ-45 port (as I currently have it set up)?  Most all of the literature and articles I've seen concentrate on the expansion of the Wi-Fi portion of the Wireless Repeater only and make minimal or no mention of using the integral RJ-45 port.
    2. Since the WAP54G Wireless Repeater has a separate actual IP address, do I need to do any changes to addressing on either my A/V Receiver, NAS? or Router  Specifically, does the Wireless Repeater become fully "transparent" to my home network or do I need to re-enter different IP addresses, port forwarding or port trigerring?  (This is the stuff I don't really understand.) 
    3. Should the system basically function as I have described or is there anything I'm obviously missing that would prevent the A/V Receiver from properly communicating with the NAS thru the Wireless Repeater and the Router?
    All replys or suggestions gratefully appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply,
    As far as your sketch is concerned . . .Yes, that is what I attempted to describe in my earlier postings.
    Before my first post, I attempted to verify as much as I was able.
    I noted earlier that I had tried AP Client and could not get it to work.  Literature for the WAP states that the only mode which can connect a WAP to a WRT router is the Wireless Repeater mode.  On the WAP, both AP Client, and Wireless Bridge modes state that each will only communicate with another (second) WAP (there is no mention of WRT in those modes).  That would require a second WAP and yet more $$$, just to uplink ONE RJ-45 to my router.  OK, since it can't damage anything, I tried the other modes just for "grins & giggles".  It resulted in a very-unhappy wireless network.  All network devices poped up with IP-Conflict errors and the network came to a crashing halt.  This is why I ended up with Wireless Repeater mode.
    Yes, with the WAP configured as Wireless Repeater, I AM able to easily ping the receiver from anywhere on my network.  In fact, I've tried 3-4 different ethernet devices plugged into the RJ-45 port of the WAP and I can ping them all.  Amazingly, every other ethernet device I plug into thje WAP work perfectly  . . except streaming music from my NAS to my A/V receiver.  At that point, I suspected the receiver has a network port problem except it perfectly streams internet radio thru the WAP.  The only thing the WAP will not stream successfully is music from my NAS.  I should also clarify that ALL firewall features on my NAS are disabled because it is already on the secure side of my router.  Therefore, I'm positive nothing in the NAS is blocking access from the WAP.  I've also verified my other 3 home PC's can access the NAS.  Two PC's are hard-wired to my router net and one PC is a laptop with wi-fi linked to my WRT router (all are on my 192.168.1.xxx network).  The REALLY screwy part is that I CAN display all files and folders on the NAS from the receiver  . . they just won't successfully play without giving a network error message.  Lastly, as a test, I've even temporarily disabled all wi-fi security.  Result is identical.
    To eliminate everything but the WAP, I temporarily stretched a 75' Cat-5 cable between the receiver and my WRT router.  With no other changes or setting mods, it immediately works perfectly.  Seriously, I've spent dozens & dozens of hours on this.  I"ve even borrowed another WAP from a friend (same version & newest firmware revision) and once it is configured, it does the exact same thing. I've even did a WAP hardware "Reset" and reconfigured it from scratch . . . also same thing. 
    Again, to clarify, ALL of this is on the same side of my home network.  Everything is within my 192.168.1.xxx.  I've triple-checked that I have no IP confilicts, I've tried both DHCP and using static IP's.  I've even tried disconnecting ALL other devices except for my receiver, the WAP and the WRT with the same results.   I am NOT trying to access any of this from the internet side of my router, so I shouldn't need to mess with port forwarding amd all that.  Everything says it "should" work . . . but yet it doesn't, on TWO different WAP devices.  All I can figure out is that the RJ-45 port on the WAP is not "fully transparent" when configured as a Wireless Repeater.  The literature does not state whether it is or if the device is designed as a Wi-Fi repeater only.
    Since I'm only trying to get a single RJ-45 device up-linked to my router, I'm inclined to pick up a $30 ethernet to wi-fi gaming adapter, throw my old WAP on the shelf and get a beer.  It should work, and I've spent WAY too much time on this already.

  • Wireless repeater

    Is it possible to configure Cisco Aironet 1131AG access point to act as a wireless repeater for traditional ADSL Wifi Routers?
    after finishing the below config on the Cisco Aironet 1131AG access point it didn't work and i'm very tired:
    AP# configure terminal
    AP(config)# interface dot11radio 0
    AP(config-if)# ssid Guest
    AP(config-ssid)# infrastructure-ssid
    AP(config-ssid)# exit
    AP(config-if)# station-role repeater
    AP(config-if)# dot11 extensions aironet
    AP(config-if)# parent 1 09c1.1e34.e345  900
    AP(config-if)# end
    what i have to do to get my access point work ?????????????

    The question is, does your repeater associate with the AP or is the issues that your laptop doesn't associate to the SSID from the repeater.

  • "Restart Now" IOS command for 1310 Wireless Bridge

    I have 2 Cisco Aironet 1310 wireless bridges setup, line-of-sight, 3/4 mile apart, one as Root, the other as Non-Root.  Occasionally they drop their connection but a hard restart of either or both bridges will reestablish the connection.  What is the equivalent IOS command to the
    "GUI > System Software > System Configuration > Restart Now" command?  I would like to be able to telnet to either/both units and issue/script the appropriate command.

    the command is "reload"

  • WRT610N - Wireless repeater

    Can i make a wrt610n a repeater using a e4200 as a base?

    Hello. The WRT610N will not communicate wirelessly as it does not have a wireless repeater mode. Even if you disable DHCP server, it will just act as an AP (access point) accepting wireless clients but will not connect to a base or another AP/router wirelessly.

  • IPhone 3gs and wireless repeater

    Hi, I read that home sharing doesn't work with repeater (under the main router work perfectly) but my problem is that under the wireless repeater I can't see shared library, but in the settings, if I type wrong credentials, it refuses, if I type correct credentials, nothing happens, but I can't see the library. Anyone have this problem and can help me? Why I can access and I can't see the library? It can be a problem of iTunes?

    But, it appears that if you are a stanch Apple fan and have an Apple access point you have less chance of it failing.
    Not true. Lots of people who own Aiport and TimeCapsule access points are having WiFi trouble too.
    If you have near the current-technology access point that is not from Apple supporting 2.4/5Ghz then there is a chance of failure.
    That's like saying if you are human you have a chance of dying. Well, yes, but not real helpful. There's a known issue with a subset of devices that are configured to broadcast both G and N signals and that, I guess is what you are referring to.
    There are a few other conditions. But, Apple seems to be relying on the users to test it.
    I'm not really sure what else Apple can do than that. You might be tempted to reply that Apple should buy one of every WiFi router on the market and test the iPad against it. Okay that sounds reasonable until you consider this: manufacturers change suppliers and update firmware without changing model numbers. You and two buddies can go out and buy the same exact router - by manufacturer name and model number - and essentially wind up with three different routers in terms of components and firmware. Given that situation how can Apple or any other company hope to test against all routers? And that doesn't even take into consideration the multiple ways a router can be configured, the surrounding environs, etc.

  • Hardware/Software Compatibility Question With Wireless Repeater

    Hey Discussions,
    This is a simple question that's more along the lines of a hardware issue. I havea wireless connection in my building that I need to boost so I will be able to have a stronger and faster connection. From what I've gathered in my newbie networking skills, I'll need a wireless repeater to accomplish this task.
    I need two things from the masses:
    A suggestion for a wireless repeater (preferably one that's universal, as I don't know anything about the router that is supplying the Internet...don't ask.)
    And a simple way to set this up so it will be able to work with both my Mac mini and a laptop running Windows XP.
    Sound easy enough, yet I can't figure anything out. Any help will be appreciated!
    -Mateo

    You're heading down a slippery slope. Be careful.
    Frist, define why you think you need to boost the signal.
    When you're connected, how many 'bars' do you have on your AirPort signal strength meter? If that's low, then fair enough, otherwise something else is going on and a repeater might not help.
    For example, your connection could be slow because there are many people using the wireless network (the wireless bandwidth is shared between all wireless clients.
    It could also be slow because your upstream link (from the base station to the rest of the network) is saturated
    It could also be slow if the server you're using is overloaded (especially if you're using a proxy server that's proxying all your web traffic since that would affect all sites, not just one).
    If you have a good signal then a repeater (e.g. WDS) is going to degrade performance, not increase it, so it's important to determine the cause before you try to implement a 'fix'.

  • Wireless repeater for wrt320n?

    Hi all,
    After five years my wrt54g failed and I replaced it with a fine working wrt320n, assuming my wap54g would also work as a wireless repeater on this new router. Wrong assumption, this only seems to work with a wrt54g.
    Both devices run the latest Linksys firmware, and wired it works fine, but that's not an option.
    So now I need a replacement AP that supports this function to expand the range of the wrt320n, OR another router that my old AP works on. Though I prefer to keep using the new router of course.
    I searched the web and found devices like:
    http://www.hawkingtech.com/products/productlist.php?CatID=19&FamID=84&ProdID=394
    but I can't be sure this will work.
    WAP610n sounded promising, but it does not support wireless repeater mode. Also read about the wap4400n and several other products. Point is, I want to be sure it will work before I buy anything. Can anyone tell me what solution will work?
    Thanks in advance for any reply!
    Jan

    I had the same problem and bought the Hawking unit. It does work, and setup is not to bad. They have a good Tech support when you run into trouble. The only problem I run into is when I power down the Linksys, the repeater losses its IP address and you have to reinstall. Takes abot 2 minutes, but is a pain.
