Added another router to UC320 W network

We are currently using a UC320W for our router, phone system, and wireless. We are wanting to add a device for VPN connections. I was wanting to find out if we could disable the routing on the UC320 W and just have it on the lan and the wireless as an Access Point? Basically install another firewall or router in front of it to handle the routing, dhcp, dns, and vpn connections. Has anybody attempted this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

We've not found a way to disable the routing on the UC320. What we ended up doing was giving the UC320 its own public IP, then disable the DHCP/DNS options for it and place another router (a pfSense firewall) in parallel with it.

Lost purchased items when adding another apple tv to our network

We have had an apple tv working perfectly in a downstairs bedroom for about a year. I just bought another apple tv for our upstairs living room for xmas, and was told at the apple store that all i had to do to have them view videos from each other was to add them to our home network and sync it to our itunes on our home computer. i added the upstairs ATV to our network, and synced them both to my laptop, which i had never done for the downstairs ATV. now my downstairs ATV is completely empty, except for a couple of videos i had on our laptop. I can see all of our content that we had purchased for our downstairs ATV, over 100GB worth, on our iTunes but they're showing up in grey. i don't think they are sitting on our laptop or on the downstairs ATV. how do i recover those programs? they don't see to be available for re-downloading on iTunes. i'm bummed because we had a ton of programs on there. help!

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
There wasn't really anything wrong with the advice you were given from the store, unfortunately you chose to replace your primary library with the library on your laptop, whereas what you should have done is add it as a secondary library.
(Please excuse my unsupported nomenclature)
I suspect if you remove the laptop library as a primary library and re-link your original library as a primary and then add the laptop as a secondary library, you will once again have access to your purchased content.
See This
Additionally, may I suggest doing something about only having your purchased content on the tv, it's not a good idea and can easily be lost, you may want to let it transfer to your primary library.

Adding another router to my Time Capsule's existing network.

Here's the situation: I live in a tri-level house with my TC on the 1st floor. My room, on the top floor, has bad reception (in certain spots, full bar, in others, half to no bars at all). Until I can afford to get an Airport Express to extend the wireless N reception, I thought I'd use my old Netgear router that has wirelss G with MIMO. The problem that I'm having now is that I don't know how to (or if I can) set up the Netgear router to extend the range of my TC's network (even though I know I'm sacrificing the speed of the connection by doing this). So, for you networking geniuses out there, is there any way I can do this? Also, while I'm asking questions here, why is my connection so hit or miss in my room?

first, isn't my TC essentially already running in "dual-mode" as it's backwards compatible with 802.11b/g?
Not quite. "Dual-mode," in this case, means running separate 802.11n only and 802.11b/g networks. 802.11b/g clients would NOT be able to access the 802.11n only network.
And second, with the "roaming" network, do I have to have my Netgear already hooked up to my Time Capsule via ethernet or are you suggesting that I go through set up with the ethernet connection and then I can place the Netgear in my room with the network expanded (with the b/g connection)?
In a "roaming" network each of the routers would need to be connected to an Ethernet backbone. So if your house is already wired for Ethernet this would be ideal. So in my suggestion, both the TC and the Netgear would have to be connected by Ethernet, either directly to each other or both connected to an Ethernet circuit on the same subnet.
To get a better idea of what I'm referring to, take a look at page 40 & 41 of the Designing AirPort Network document.

Adding another router

I have a primary router for my fios connection on the main floor of the house. This router provides wireless to the whole house and gets the internet from a coax connection. In my office on the first floor I use my main pc via wireless but I do have a coax connection here and would like to connect another fios router and run a lan cable to my primary pc to actually use the speeds I pay for. Is this possible and if so how? Thanks..

If you need better wifi on the first floor, in addition to connecting your PC via hard wire, you can also connect a second router to the output of the MoCA adapter.
There is a newer version that repeats the wifi signal as well.

How to add another router to Home Hub network.

Hi,
Hope someone can help. Here's the problem.
I have a Home Hub downstairs, which is working fine.
I want to put a desktop computer, which doesn't have wireless, upstairs, in a room which I can't get an ethernet cable to easily (we have vinyl floors, due to an allergy problem, therefore no carpets to run cables under).
I have a spare NetGear DGN2000 router, which says that it can be used as a wireless repeater.
I would like to use the spare router as a bridge or access point, linking wirelessly to the Home Hub, to enable me to connect the desktop via ethernet, and to improve wireless coverage upstairs. I know I could use Homeplugs to get the broadband connection upstairs, but I have the router sitting around doing nothing, so would like to make use of it.
I have a couple of laptops running Vista, the desktop is on XP.
I am fairly IT & network literate, but have looked at the settings and spent ages googling this without finding a clear solution.
Can someone please help?
Many thanks,
Gringo

Just be aware that bridging your two routers wirelessly will effectivly half your throughput!
It would be better to connect the two via cable and have the second acting as a standalone WAP.
I know u said cable runs are a problem but maybe have the second router in the landing or at the top of the stairs?
When using my homehub to do just this i had to buy a second router (netgear) to ask as a promary router (DHCP / DNS etc) and used the HH as WAP.
If I've helped, just click the Star - Every little bit helps
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Adding wireless router to wired home network

I have a home network consisting of two PC's which share a satellite internet connection via a wired BEFSX41 router.   The PC's and router/satellite modem are in three separate rooms connected by Cat5e cable.
Now I want to add a new laptop (third PC) to my network using a WRT54G router and a WPC54G notebook adapter.  I just ran the WRT54G wizard and it makes no sense for my configuration.
Should I connect the WRT54G's internet port to a spare port on the wired router, then power up wired, wireless routers and the modem in sequence?   Then run the program at the final step of the wizard one of my original PC's? Any help will be appreciated.

Cleck this link out. The only thing I would do is make sure you connect the cable from a numberd port to ort number 1 on the wireless router and set up the SSID and wireless security. Make sure you have the latest firmware on the wireless router because in this configuration you will not be able to access its user interface.

Adding another Verizon router....

I currently have FIOS installed at my home. I have my wireless router installed on the main level in my home. The wireless signal is great on the main level and upstairs, but the signal in the basement varies from good to low. I am looking for a solution that will allow for either better signal strength or adding another router in the basement that connects to my existing FIOS line. This would also require adding a phone line in the basement as well...unfortunately the previous owner of my home did not have lines put in the basement.
At any rate, can someone assist with this solution. Thanks in advance

If running an Ethernet aconenction from the Current Router to the Baement is not an option you can get another FIOS Router and connect it to the COAX Cabling in your house. It has to be configured properly and information can be found here:
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/verizonfios/3.0_Networking#15984
Keep the SSID the same and put the 2nd router on a diffent channel from the 1st.

Adding another Airport Extreme – I'm having problems-

…please help.
I am a total novice when it comes to networking so please explain clearly. I had one AE connected to some speakers in the kitchen so I could stream music there. I got another AE today to connect to my router to hopefully provide a quicker and more reliable wireless connection.
I'm having problems adding the 2 AE to the same network. Tried lots of different ways but nothings worked. I can't my mac to find them both at the same time? When I try to add the other one it asks me to switch networks. When I switch networks i can't see the previous one so I can't add it.
is there any step by step guide to getting 2 AE up and running i.e. adding another AE to an existing network?
Cheers in advance.

kroc_kroc, Welcome to the discussion area!
Even though the title of your thread says "Extreme" I thing you really mean "Express".
If you are trying to connect the 2nd AirPort Express (AX) wirelessly...
(1) Make sure that the 2nd AX is in an area with a good wireless signal from your current wireless network.
(2) Configure the 2nd AX to join a wireless network and select your current wireless network.

Can i use another router to extend my wireless network of my airport extreme?

i have a billion router (moddel BiPAC 7300W) I just got myself the airport extreme, i want to use the extreme as the main router and extend the network using the billion router.
steps i have followed on the extreme is as follows:
INTERNET
connection sharing: Distrobute a range of IP addresses
cofig IPv4:set to my home network range(manually) - ip,subnet,router,dns
DHCP
access control: mac address of billion router set to all day every day
steps i have followed on the billion router:
disabled NAT
disabled DHCP
ethernet address: same range as extreme ip, actual ip op extreme is xxx.xxx.xxx.254, on billion xxx.xxx.xxx.253
disabled RIP
set wireless mode to 802.11b+g+n
channel id: auto
channel width:20/40mhz
disable wps
disable vmm
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) - added the 3 mac addresses the utility displayed, 5ghz and 2.4ghz and also the ethernet.
restarted both routers, not picking up all the devices connected to the network.
can any one please help me?

i want to use the extreme as the main router and extend the network using the billion router.
Unfortunately, WDS was never adopted as an official standard in the industry, so very few routers from other manufacturers are known to be compatible with Apple's WDS settings. The known devices are as follows:
Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
BT Voyager 2091 or 2100
Buffalo WGR-G54
Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (through version v4)
Netgear WGR614 v6
Thompson 585v6 wireless router (40 bit WEP works but stronger encryption does not)
connection sharing: Distrobute a range of IP addresses
You would not use this setting unless your service provider has furnished you with a specific range of IP addresses to use for your devices. Is that the case?
Normally, when the AirPort Extreme is functioning as the "main" router, the setting for Connection Sharing is set to "Share a public IP address"
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) - added the 3 mac addresses the utility displayed, 5ghz and 2.4ghz and also the ethernet.
You indicated that you had configured things this way on the Billion router. But, you did not indicate whether you had set the Wireless Mode for the AirPort Extreme to "Participate in a WDS Arrangement".
If you have not already done so, this might improve your chances of establishing a connection between the AirPort Extreme and Billion router for the WDS.
To access these settings on the AirPort Extreme, you would need to open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup. Then click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons. Change the setting for Wireless Mode to "Participate in a WDS Arrangement".
Note....you may need to hold down the option key on your Mac, (or it might be alt or control if you are using a PC) to display the WDS setting.
Once you do this, then a WDS tab will now appear next to the Wireless tab. Click on the WDS tab to set up the AirPort Extreme as the WDS Main and enter the MAC address of the Billion router.
As I mentioned previously, it is extremely unlikely that the Apple and Billion devices will be compatible for WDS, but probably worth a try....since you never know when something just might work.
Even if it does....WDS operates only at "g" wireless speeds, so you will lose any of the faster "n" speed capabilities of the AirPort Extreme in this type of setting.
Please post on your results.

Network Errors Adding New Router

Hello,
I posted this in the iChat forum earlier today but I think this would a better forum to ask this question. We were using a D-Link DI-604 Wired Router for about 5 years until yesterday when we purchased a new D-Link EBR-2310 Wired Router. Ever since connecting the new router, about every 15 to 30 minutes in the console log on my iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, I get the following errors now:
Jun 12 17:31:57 <computer name> kernel[0]: AppleYukon2: 00000001,00000000 sk98nif - deadmanCheck - nothing received, resetting chip

Jun 12 17:32:07 <computer name> configd[14]: AppleTalk startup complete
This never happened with the old router and I can't figure out what is causing this (I keep a close watch on my console log and I know for sure that this problem just started since connecting the new router). The new router is cascaded to an older Farallon 10Mbps ethernet hub (exactly the same way the old router was set up) so at first, I thought the errors may have been due to the fact that I had the WAN Port Speed of the new router set to "Auto 10/100Mbps" causing my iMac to (unsuccessfully) try to negotiate a faster port speed. On the old router, we had the WAN Port Speed set to 10Mbps and I never noticed any of these errors so I changed the WAN Port Speed on the new router to 10Mbps instead of "Auto 10/100Mbps" and we're still getting the same thing happening.
I've tried connecting my iMac directly to the router and directly to the cascaded Farallon 10Mbps ethernet hub and either way, it makes no difference. Our internet connection works fine but we get the odd error when sending a print job to our networked HP LaserJet with the new router. Does anyone with any networking experience have any idea what can be causing this? Is there a way to change the 10/100Mbps speed on the iMac itself rather than on the router?
Thanks so much,
Gerard

Is there a way to change the 10/100Mbps speed on the iMac itself rather than on the router?
System Preferences/Network/Advanced/Ethernet - Configure manually
The book on this router at Newegg is that it works for some people, but others using Vista notice the router can't handle multiple users very well. Disconnects, slow throughput, resets. It's not a very costly router, and hasn't had a firmware update since 2007. Maybe Vista pushes it too hard?
I'm just guessing that the deadmanCheck reference in the error is some sort of test to see if anybody is there and when the router doesn't respond, the Mac reset's it's ethernet chips.
Since you've had so many problems with the programs, firewall and port routing, and incomprehensible tech support, you might look at one of the competitors products that can keep up with your equipment.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Using my LinkSys WRT54G as a router in a home network, but not as the Gateway of the same?

Greetings,
I am in a situation where I share internet access with roommates. We have a Gateway which is conected to the provider and which delivers ethernet and WiFi signal.
In order to isolate myself from my roomates and to protect my network connection, both wired and WiFi, I would like to plug in the Ethernet cable I get from the Gateway to my router, and then configure my router's firewall and WiFi enctryption to maximize my safety.
However, I am having some problems. I have already configured the router as "router" and not "Gateway" and I am trying to assign it an IP address different from the default one, which is the one the gateway has, and a ranger of DHCP IP's, also different from those of the Gateway. In other words, 192.1681.N.1 for the router and start from there.
Any pointers will be appreciated because so far, my efforts have failed.

There are two (2) ways to cascade a Linksys router to another router:
1. LAN to LAN – Connecting one of the Ethernet ports (LAN ports) of the Linksys router (router A) to one of the Ethernet ports (LAN ports) of another router (router B).
This type of cascading requires the main and the secondary router to be on the same LAN IP segment to allow the computers and other devices to connect to both routers. This configuration is recommended if you want to share files and resources within the network.
2. LAN to WAN – Connecting one of the Ethernet ports (LAN ports) of router A to the Internet port (WAN port) of router B.
This type of cascading requires the main router and the secondary router to have different IP addresses. This connection makes it easier to identify which router the computers and other devices in the network are connected to since they will have different LAN IP segments. However, computers that are connected to router A will not be able to communicate with router B, and vice versa since they are two different networks.
Here is the link for same: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=d4bfc9fde5284a4b845c9057ffbeb644_4735.xml&pid=80&r...

EA6300 - Cascading the Linksys router to another router (LAN-LAN) - Does not Bridge built in Wifi AP

Regarding:
http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=3733#
Cascading the Linksys router to another router (LAN-LAN)
The Bridge mode function on the EA6300 does not bridge the Wifi AP radio to the network.
The ethernet ports are bridged, and the router can see network devices and wifi devices connected to itand ping devices in both directions , but Wifi clients connecting to the unit running in bridge mode are not "bridged" to the network.
~
Using the built in webpage of the router, all devices can be pinged.
Ethernet RJ-45 devices plugged into it can ping the unit and pull up the units config webpage, but not ping wifi clients connected to it.
Wfii devices connected to its access point radio, can pull up the units config webpage, but not ping ethernet RJ-45 devices connected to it.
If there is a bridge, then the bridge is broken in half and not functional.
~
All devices are set with IPs on the same subnet, 192.168.2.x
~
I have a Netgear router in Bridge mode, and it works fine, connecting the wifi access point and RJ-45 ethernet clients together like it should be, so I know how Bridge mode... should work...
But it doesn't on this unit, it is not working completely out the factory door. It will bridge one Router to another via the RJ-45 ethernet ports, but its own AP radio is no longer bridged and connected (like when running in NAT
Note that doing cascading using NAT as described under "Cascading the Linksys router to another router (LAN-WAN)" works fine.

Hi,
There's no WLAN bridge feature on the new Linksys Smart Wifi routers. You might also like to check and review these articles about Bridge Mode:

Connecting to mass storage and printers on another router

I have my wireless router connected to another router that router is connected to the internet. My wireless connection works fine getting to the internet, but I am unable to see the other items connected to the first router. This would be my network printer and mass storage. What can I do?

Windows uses a protocol called SMB to connect to network shares. You will need to route ports 139, 445, and possibly 137 between the 2 networks. Unless you have a specific reason I would dump the non-wireless router. Having 2 routers is asking for problems and making your network overly complicated.

Adding another machine to Primary Zone

Adding another machine to Primary Zone
I have a good split-DNS configuration that has been working without issue for some months now since I installed OS X Server Snow Leopard (Mac Mini) at my company's office. We have another machine used as a file server (Mac Pro), without the dedicated server OS installed.
We want to add a virtualized instance of Windows Server 2008 R2 as a guest OS on the Mac Pro via VMWare Fusion. We want to use this Windows Server instance to host some private web based services for our corporate team (intended to be reachable from within the local private network, and remotely, from the public internet (with proper authorization to access only).
So far so good:
-WinServer2008R2 installed as a guest OS on the host Mac Pro
-WinServer's virtual NIC is in bridged mode (joins the host OS's physical network)
-WinServer instance configured with an IP 10.0.1.33, which is set aside and reserved for the WinServer by the local DHCP service on the same network
-WinServer successfully installed and tested IIS7 - both localhost from the WinServer instance and http://10.0.1.33 from other machines on the local private network (and from remote VPN clients) resolve to the WinServer's IIS default page properly.
Where I am stumbling now in configuring DNS on the Mac Mini to properly forward requests aimed at the WinServer instance.
DNS for the local domain is controlled by the Mac Mini. The configuration has been quite simple up to now, as that has met our needs. Just one Primary Zone and one Reverse Zone. We have an external DNS service from DYNDNS that handles any request for our domain from the external public internet. For now I'm not concerned with altering the external DNS service. Once I get the name service to properly resolve requests for the WinServer instance from the local domain, then I'll move onto matching up the external DNS.
--Primary Zones
Primary Zone:
Primary Zone Name: ourcompany.net.
Nameservers: Zone: ourcompany.net. Nameserver Hostname: server.ourcompany.net.
--Records
Machine Record:
Machine Name: server.ourcompany.net.
IP Address: 10.0.1.11
--Reverse Zones
Reverse Zone:
Reverse Zone Name: 11.1.0.10.in-addr.arpa.
Nameservers: Zone: 11.1.0.10.in-addr.arpa. Nameserver Hostname: server.ourcompany.net.
Resolve 10.0.1.11 to: server.ourcompany.net.
The -checkhostname command returns:
Primary address = 10.0.1.11
Current HostName = server.ourcompany.net
DNS HostName = server.ourcompany.net
The names match. There is nothing to change.
dirserv:success = "success"
So I attempted to add a Machine Record to the Primary Zone with the following settings:
Machine Record:
Machine Name: dash.thewcateam.net.
IP Address: 10.0.1.33
When I did this it added the following Reverse Zone:
Reverse Zone:
Reverse Zone Name: 1.0.10.in-addr.arpa.
Nameservers: Zone: 1.0.10.in-addr.arpa. Nameserver Hostname: server.ourcompany.net.
Resolve 10.0.1.33 to: dash.ourcompany.net.
And with the following records added I don't seem to have a proper resolution to 10.0.1.33 when requesting dash.ourcompany.net.
I'm wondering where I should look next in troubleshooting this issue. Any pointers or advice would be very appreciated.

Remove the "Reverse Zone Name: 11.1.0.10.in-addr.arpa."
It's probably left from when you first configured the server.
Though the "Primary Zone Name: ourcompany.net." seems correct.
Then update the 10.0.1.11 record so it's added to the right reverse zone - "1.0.10.in-addr.arpa."
In a MacPro we run VM Ware on a separate interface (en1/"Built in 2") that is forced up using a LaunchDaemon. "Built in 2" must be active in Network config in OS X but don't need to be configured (red "LED").
That way the MacPro can use it's own IP on the en0 interface without disturbing en1 and vice versa.
