ADD WIRELESS TO VPN

i have a hp officejet 6500 a plus. i have this printer connected wireless to my network but can't print when i log on to my vpn?

Hey cooneydf!
Unfortunately, when you are on a VPN that causes your LAN communications to be cut off for the most part. What this means is that you can't print to your printer wirelessly while on a VPN. However, if you do need the ability to print while on your VPN, you can do this a few different ways.
1. You can hook your printer up to your computer via a usb cable. This will work at the same time as wireless so any other computers you have hooked up wirelessly to the printer will still work.
2. You can use ePrint. If you have ePrint setup on your computer, then you should be able to print to it using the printer's email address even when you are on the VPN because it goes through a different process.
Hope this helps!
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

Can't connect iPod Touch to Airport Extreme using "Add Wireless Clients"

I am unable to connect my iPod Touch to the local wireless network (Airport Utility v5.4.2) using "Add Wireless Clients..." in the Base Station menu.
My Powerbook G4 connects OK (with the PIN - as requested)
I can find no information in Apple's manuals or Help.

You seem to be going about this backwards. Setup your Airport base station to:
broadcast in all modes (b/g/n)
No MAC address filtering
Encryption set to WPA
SSID on (you are broadcasting your network's name)
DHCP on (you are automatically assigning IP addresses)
On your touch, go to Settings > WiFi >Other Networks, enter your network name, tell the touch which security you are using (WPA) and enter your password. You should connect to your network.

AEBS(n) Add Wireless Client Help?

Using the Airport Utility for my AEBS(n), it has a menu item in the Base Station Menu (on the menu bar) labeled "Add Wireless Clients..." It apparently allows you to have a temporary pin number to allow short access to the network without the WPA key.
The textbox only allows 8 numbers, and won't allow letters/characters. I've tried to get this to work, but after entering an arbitrary Pin in the textbox, the Continue button at the bottom of the screen never becomes enabled.
I have WPA/WPA2 enabled. Is there something in my setup that is preventing this from working? The help files are no help...

That is only an option if you are using MAC address filtering. Since you are not, you don't have to worry about that.
Is your AirPort Express (AX) set to 802.11n operation only? If so, is this Windows laptop capable of 802.11n? If not you will need to configure the AX to a 802.11b/g compatible mode.
What type of wireless encryption are you using? Is this Windows laptop compatible with that?
If you are outside the US, try configuring the AX to use a channel between 1 and 11.

HT3500 To add a wireless adapter to my Airport Extreme network using WPS, documentation recommends adding it under "Add wireless clients" in Airport Utility but there's no such an item anywhere in v6

I am trying to connect an Iogear Wifi adapter from my home entertainment center to my Airport Extreme home network (secured with personal WPA) using WPS. Apple's support literature says to do this through Airport Utility (v.6) choosing Manual Setup from Base Station Menu and Add Wireless Client. After hours of searching and fiddling I cannot find "Manual setup" or "Add Wireless Client" in the Airport Utility (v.6). HELP. andy

Those instructions are for Airport Utility v5.5.3 or v5.6. As a matter of fact, Airport Utility 6.0 does NOT have that options. So assuming you have Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4, you have to download and install Airport Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion. Then follow those simple instructions you have.

Cannot "Add Wireless Client"

I have been using iMac for years and worked well with my Airport Express. Yesterday, one of my friends brought a notebook running Windows Vista to my house and wanted to connect his machine to my airport wireless network, but it failed. I want to know if there is anything I need to do so that I can allow another pc connecting to my network? I've read through almost all docs I could find in the apple web site; when I followed one of them by opening Airport utility and tried to click on the "Add Wireless Client", I found this option is dimmed and not able to click on it? Could someone help me? thanks a lot.

That is only an option if you are using MAC address filtering. Since you are not, you don't have to worry about that.

Can't Add Wireless Clients; Can't Type PIN into Setup Field

I have an Airport Express "n" station, set to be compatible with "b" and "g" as well.
I would like to use the Add Wireless Clients feature of 7.3.2.
In the Airport Utility, when I go to:
Base Station > Add Wireless Clients
and follow the prompts, it never finds any first-time clients to assign a PIN to, even when there's one present that already has logged in and out of the network with a password.
Am I misunderstanding the way this function works? I assume from the Help page that when a client is within range, you can assign it a PIN for 24 hours or permanently. But I can't seem to make it work.

Since writing the title of this post, I was able to type numbers into the setup field; I forgot to delete that from the title. Apologies.

"add wireless clients" functionality --not working

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out the Add Wireless Client functionality in the AirPort utility. I can't seem to get it to work, and even Apple support appears to be stumped.
I have tried using the "add wireless clients" functionality in the Base Station menu of Airport Utility. When the "Wireless Client Setup Assistant" window opens, there are two choices: PIN or First attempt. Neither option seems to work. In fact, if I try to enter a PIN, I am able to enter a series of numbers, but the continue button does not become enabled.
Is anyone able to get this to work? I called Apple support and they were supposed to get back to me but they as of yet haven't offered a solution.
I have an airport extreme 802.11n and express configured in a WDS. Everything else is working perfectly.

How do I add wireless printer or Direct tv

How do I add wireless printer or Direct tv

These devices would be added the same way that any other wireless device is added as a client to a network......
1) Scan to select the network
2) Enter the wireless network password
Keep in mind that DirecTV cannot connect to a wireless network if there are special characters.....like an apostrophe, asterisk, dollar sign, etc......in the wireless network name.
So if your wireless network is named something like Ernestomelia's Wireless Network, DirecTV will not be able to to connect. Instead, the network should read something like ernestomelia network. A shorter name with no spaces would be better.
Your printer might have similar requirements, but you did not provide the make or model number of the device....so we don't have much to go on here. In general, you would want to contact support at the printer manufacturer for more specific information.

Add Wireless Clients

the Airport Express Menu describes a means to 'add wireless clients' from the Airport Utilities Base Station Menu; it says "Choose Add Wireless Clients from the Base Station Menu". Well, there is no such choice available on any screen I can find. My goal is to allow "first attempt" access for a digital frame device (which apparently won't transmit the proper password, something I've tried about a dozen times).
Any help/ideas out there?? Thanks in advance, Ron

I assume you meant "Airport Express manual" (or maybe Online Help, but not "menu.")
In OSX 10.3.9, anyway, the Airport Admin Utility provides a WDS tab. The tools needed to add wireless clients are on this tab.
But you shouldn't need to do this. A wireless client is another base station, such as a second AE. Your digital frame device is just something with a wireless card.
Have you tried disabling wireless security via the Utility's Airport tab? This should solve the password problem for the moment and let you see whether there are other problems awaiting.
Later, you can seek a long-term solution to the password mystery. Perhaps, for example, your AE is set for WPA encryption but your frame device can only do WEP.

Can't add Controller over VPN in WCS v6.0.132.0

Hi
I use WCS v6.0.132.0 to manage my 4402 and 2106 controller both running version 6.0.182.0
When I try to add another 2106 over DM-VPN it fails with the following errors:
”No response from device, check SNMP communities, version or network for issues”
If I move the new 2106 controller to LAN with same config there is no problem.
I found this note in the in “Cisco Wireless Control System Configuration Guide, Release 6.0”
“Note If you are adding a controller into WCS across a GRE link using IPsec or a lower MTU link with multiple fragments, you may need to adjust the MaxVar Binds PerPDU. If it is set too high, the controller may fail to be added into WCS. To adjust the MaxVarBindsPerPDU setting, do the following:
1) Stop WCS.
2) Go to the location of the Open SnmpParameters.properties file on the server that is running WCS.
3) Edit MaxVarBindsPerPDU to 50 or lower.
4) Restart WCS.”
On my system I have the “SnmpParameters.properties” file is located //WCS6.0.132.0\webnms\classes\com\cisco\server\resources
But I don’t have “MaxVarBindsPerPDU” settings in the file.
Beside some # explanations text, the only settings I have in the “SnmpParameters.properties” file is:
DebugEnabled                         false
SerializeRequests                    true
MaxRepetitions                       10
MaxRetryTimeout                      60
WlanTimeoutMsecsPerAP                 50
I have tried to add “MaxVarBindsPerPDU” settings, but it have no effect.
Anyone have an idea what to do?
TIA

Thank you so much!
Step 1 solved the issue.
I changed “Maximum VarBinds per Get PDU” from 30 to 20 and “Maximum VarBinds per Set PDU” from 50 to 20.
Thanks

Add Wireless N Router To Network With An Actiontec Router

Hi everyone, I know this wireless N thing is being beaten to death but I just really need to be pointed in the right direction. I recently built a HTPC setup with a SiliconDust HD Homerun network tuner so I could share three tuners with computers on my network. I've got two PCs wired to the network right now which share them fine. But the problem I'm running into is when I try to set up my laptop to watch something wirelessly, usually a game in HD. The signal is very weak and I constantly lose the tuners because of that, not to mention the picture is very choppy. I saw on a Microsoft Windows Media Center site that they don't recommend streaming HD TV feeds over anything other than a wireless N connection. I currently have the standard Actiontec router that came with FiOS, and it doesn't the N band. Now, that router accesses the internet signal through a coax so I know I can't get rid of it, but I've seen mentioned in a couple of places that you can just add a wireless N router into the network and turn off the wireless on the Actiontec router. This is the router I was thinking of getting:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Cisco+Linksys+-+E1200+Wireless-N+Router+with+4-Port+Ethernet+Switch/2225...
My current network setup is like this: Actiontec router upstairs which carries internet to -> a gigabit switch connected to -> computer, tuners, and printer upstairs, with a line run to -> another gigabit switch downstairs which connects to -> a computer, and an XBox.
So a couple of questions about this:
- Where would this go on the network? Would it go after the router and before the switches, like I run the internet into the new router then out to the switch, or can I just add it to one of the switches?
- Will I need to do any sort of port forwarding or anything, or assiging of IP addresses?
- Anything else I should know or might run into?
I love my FiOS service so hopefully this will help me get even more out of it!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I wanted to upgrade to an N protocol wireless router but since Verizon doesn’t offer the option, I purchased a Netgear N600. Unfortunately, after it arrived, I discovered that it didn’t have a coax connection as did the Verizon Actiontec. I then set out to find out how to daisy chain the routers to leave the Actiontec connected to the coax and connect the two routers via Ethernet cable. To my good fortune, during the time I spent on the phone with Netgear, I learned my way around their router interface and with the help of a co-worker that actually has a solid understanding of router/network configuration, I finally got everything working correctly – my port forwarding for RDC login worked, I could connect devices to either router and everything could once again see each other (e.g. PC, printer via Ethernet, Blu-ray player for Netflix, receiver for streaming Windows Media Player). Hopefully, this post will help you get up and running quickly and avoid the several hours I spent groping in the dark for the correct configuration.
Login to Verizon Actiontec router (type 192.168.1.1 into browser address bar).
No configuration changes are necessary on the Actiontec, you just need to identify an open IP address range in My Network section (I chose 192.168.1.50). This will be used as your static IP address of the Netgear router LAN settings.
Connect you PC via Ethernet cable directly into an Ethernet port (not WAN/Internet) on the Netgear router. No other connections are needed at this point.
Note: Do not use the Netgear wizard CD to setup the router. It will not take you through the necessary steps as you’re not setting it up as a router.
Login to the Netgear router (type routerlogin.net into the browser address bar) using the default login of “admin” and password “password”. Depending on your firmware version, your interface may vary but hopefully you’ll be able to find the same configuration options in either but perhaps not in the same order or placement. For subsequent logins after the router is active, you may need to type the Netgear IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.50) as routerlogin.net may open a search.
At the top of the Netgear genie, click on the Advanced tab.
On the left side, expand Setup, then select Internet Setup.
Select “Get dynamically from ISP”, under Internet IP Address.
Under Domain Name Server (DNS) Address, select “Use These DNS Servers”, and enter the IP Address of your Actiontec router (e.g. 192.168.1.1) in the Primary DNS” field.
Next go down a few options within Setup to Wireless Setup.
In the Wireless Network 2.4GHz section, click Enable SSID broadcast.
Enter a meaningful name in “Name (SSID)” as this is what will be displayed for your wireless connection.
For Channel, select Auto.
For Mode, select “Up to 300 Mbps”.
Security Options, recommend WPK2-PSK[AES] for longer/stronger password options.
Set the password of your choice.
Repeat the same process for Wireless Network 5GHz, except vary the name slightly so you’ll be able to distinguish which band you’ll connect to. You can optionally use the same or different password as your 2.4GHz. The only exception is you’ll have to select a Channel of your choice.
Next go down a couple more options within Setup to the LAN Setup.
In the LAN TCP/IP Setup section, enter the IP Address you chose in step 2 (e.g. 192.168.1.50).
Enter the IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Leave the block for “Use Router as DHCP Server” blank as your IP assignment will be handled by your Actiontec router.
You’re now finished with the configuration and you can connect the Actiontec router to the Netgear router using an Ethernet cable using the LAN ports (Note: do not connect the two routers using the WAN/Internet ports on either). You may connect your devices (PC, printers, A/V devices, etc.) to either router. If you have devices that are gigabit capable, you’ll want to connect them to the Netgear router to take advantage of the higher speed.
To avoid any possible interference between the 2.4GHz range of the two routers, you can optionally turn off the Actiontec wireless capability by logging into the Actiontec router admin (described above), go to the My Router tab, and there should be an option for “Change Wireless Settings” in the Quick Links section. Option 1 allows you to turn On/Off the wireless portion of the router.
