Adding a Netgeat router to a network.

Hi guys. I never thought that I'd need to ask this at this point in my life. For years I've been setting up, every now an then only though, small domestic networks and, altough some had taken me time, I've eventually made them work.
Anyway, the current configuration is: One wired/wireless router from which 5 computers take the internet. One of them is mine and the cable length is fairly long, probably about 50 meters. My computer connects, I believe, perfectly to the router. All my computer network settings were automatic. I had to input nothing.
When I connected my Airport Express in order to create a wireless subnetwork, it also automatically set all the addresses and seemed to work straight away. I'm afraid I believe the length of the cable causes the network (now wireless between the AX and my MBP) to become extremely sluggish if it works at all. The webpages kind-of are going to load, but never to completion. I thought this was because the AX after all, imho, is not meant for these tasks but for rather domestic layouts.
I tried then replacing the AX with a proper (so I believed) router: a Netgeat WGR614. I believe it doesn't have automatic network detection so tried setting all the IP addresses manually, basically copy-pasting the settings that the AX adopted automatically, but never got to put it to work. Furthermore, I couldn't access the settings page on the browser because I changed its own address (if anyone know how to access the routers' settings once you've changed their IP address I'd appreciate if you'd explained to me).
So I master-reset the router with that button at the back. Now, as soon as I access the settings they force me to follow some sort of network wizard that leads me nowhere and inevitably (since I always change its IP address) I get left out of the settings.
What do I have to do here? In the past I've added routers to create sub-networks but I cannot do it now, why?
Could the router be faulty? Or could it suffer as well from the same long-distance cable? The router that access directly the internet doesn't seem sturdy at all, but rather cheap, so I blame it mostly. It's a SpeedTouch XXX disguised as a BT Home Hub.
With the Netgear router how do I bypass the wizard and jump straight into the settings page?
Thanks guys.

(I have a a WGR614v6 - works great for me in a single-router setting)
The WGR614 is a bottom of the line cheap router - I too had trouble following the built-in wizard when I tried to set it up as a wireless access point add-on at school. To access the admin web page, I just enter http://[LAN-sideaddress_ofrouter]
Adding a second router is a tricky business - you don't want it to be a router, you want it to be a wireless access point only, so that your first router is doing all the usual things: NAT, firewall, DHCP. If you leave it doing router things, your second network will be isolated from the computers in the first router's network.
Does that help?

Adding a PC to my wireless network

I would like to find out how I can add a Windows laptop (as yet unpurchased, so assume your basic Dell, Lenovo, HP, etc. running Windows 7) to my wireless network. I currently have an iMac running 10.6.5 and an Airport Extreme Base Station. I would like to add the PC to my network so that I can browse, share and edit files across my network. Does anyone have any links, how-tos, advice on how I can do this? Also, other than convenience, are there any upsides/downsides to this (besides having to work on a Windows computer!)? Thanks in advance.

Very similar to the Macs, Windows-based PCs can be configured to share resources: files, internal or attached hard drives, attached-printers, or internal or attached CD drives.
How to configure the PC to do so will be based on the exact operating system of your new device.
Three ways to experience this before going out and buying a PC is: 1) Borrow a PC from a friend, colleague or relative, 2) Use Bootcamp, under OS X to install the Windows OS that you will be interested in, and 3) Similarly, install either Parallels or VMware to run Windows as a virtual Guest.
Using any of these methods can help answer your second question on the upsides/downsides of adding a Windows client to your network.

Path Selection for Routes Across MPLS Network

Customer hub site has two CE routers with two links connected to two seperate PE routers in the Carrier's MPLS network. At the customer's remote site one CE router on a single link is connected to PE router in MPLS network.
How can I configure the CE routers at the hub site to advertised the same network across the MPLS network to the CE router at the remote site? Also, how can I configure the CE router at the remote site to select on of the router as the primary and the other as secondary? Can I use local-preference on the CE router at the remote site to selected on path over the other.
I'm not sure if this makes any sense. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Even with multiple RDs for VRFs belonging to the same VPN, you still need IBGP multipath, correct? Multiple RDs is just to get around the RR restriction.
Also, you posted this message a while back:
"If you have many VPN customers all using the same addresses (most likely rfc1918), the fact that they have different RDs and that the PE prepends the RD to the prefixes exchanged between PEs will make the same prefixes different in the MPLS VPN core
cust1 advertises 192.168.1.0/24 with RD 1:1 therefore
VPNv4 prefix is 1:1:192.168.1.0
cust2 advertises 192.168.1.0/24 with RD 1:2 therefore
VPNv4 prefix is 1:2:192.168.1.0"
My test lab does not support the IBGP multipath command, and thus even with different RDs, it still only installs one best path.
I understand that RD = make unique VPNv4 routes in SP space, and that RT = what to import into the VRF. However, I am having a hard time visualizing the scenario with mutiple RDs for the same VPN for load balancing purposes. I am trying to understand the logic behind it.
Per your example, if both 1:1 and 1:2 are received by the remote PE, assuming IBGP multipath is enabled, why would the remote PE load balance between the two links? Why would it assume that the hub subnets are reachable via two different PEs, and that it's not two different, isolated VPNs altogether?
Is it b/c you imported both 1:1 and 1:2 into a VRF at the remote PE?

Finding a rogue WiFi router on local network

This is likely a very odd and possibly complicated question, but I figure I'd throw it out there anyways.
At my office, we have a couple wireless routers throughout the building. However, one in particular has started to act up. It used to work perfectly, but in the last month or so, it has stopped working. Connecting to it via the password that was set no longer works. Laptops can SEE the network in a list of wireless connections, but we can't log into anymore.
Now, normally a easy solution would be to find the physical router and reset it manually. But here's the problem.
We don't know where it actually is. It was installed before myself or the current IT specialist were hired. We were able to use a Macbook and iStumbler to detect its general location by walking around the building and guaging signal strength. But we still can't find it. It's likely up in the ceiling somewhere. Don't ask me why.
So, I'm wondering if there's a way, be it through an app, Terminal, etc, to detect the router over the network. If we're able to get the IP of the device, maybe we can log into it and possibly fix the problem.
If not, perhaps people know of a good device we could purchase to further locate the physical device it self? I've seen a handful of WiFi detectors, but they usually only show 1-5 bars - nothing more.
Any insight?

I assume you mean that you have several wireless access points, not wireless routers.
Have your IT Dept disconnect the ethernet cable that connects the Access Point to the main switch or router, and then "tone" the wire to trace it.
Use one of these:

Another option is to flash the firwmare over the LAN, BUT that will probably default the Access Point to an address already in use and that may create a bigger problem.

I recently added a wireless router and now am unable to get to the internet through Firefox.

When I laucnch Firefox I get the following message: Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
cookies.
Do I have to do something else now that I added the wireless router?

Cannot route to second network

All pc's and servers use PIX as default gateway (10.133.6.10)
We have a second network/IP line and provider (10.1.0.0)that some pc's will need access to.
I've tried setting a static route to this network on the PIX and can ping it from the PIX but not pc's/servers, unless I change default gw (10.133.1.1) on pc's.
PIX config attached

classic problem.
you are pointing the pc's to the pix as their default gateway right? Pix will not route traffic back through an interface from which it receievd the packet.
You might be able to do a couple of things here.
Depending on the software and hw version, you could run dot1q trunk on the pix to cerate a vlan for other network and that may solve the issue or just point the machines to the other default gateway and have that router have a default route pointing to the pix.

Route two separate networks via RJ45 on the router E900. is it possible?

Good day! I wonder if the E900 router can be used to route two separate networks. Not via wifi, but via RJ45. eg 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 If possible, I would like to know how? I thank the attention.

You can add Static routes and disable NAT. This model of router isn't designed for that purpose. The LRT224 is the router you want for this purpose if lower cost is required.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

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.

Added a password to my wifi network...now connection is slow as death

It was fine yesterday. I added a password to my wifi network, which was open previously. I also updated the firmware.
I can successfully connect an iPad and 2 macbooks to the wireless network with NO problems.
BUT... My iMac sees the connection no problem, but cannot load a page. It will start to load, maybe catch a few lines of text, and then the status wheel just spins and spins and spins until it times out. This happens in Safari and Firefox.
I have removed the password and it's fine again. What is it about the password that makes my computer not able to connect?
Any help appreciated....Thanks....
--Derrick

Then try this. Open System Preferences->Network pane and click on your current connection (under Airport) and then turn off the Airport card. Then at the top of the pane you will see the "location" drop-down. Use that drop-down to create a new "Custom Location". Don't worry, it will act actually like 'Automatic'. Then after making the new Custom Location look at the bottom of the Network pane for the 'Apply' button. Click on this to save your new Location. Then rejoin your wireless network again. See if this helps, Good Luck.

ISCSI boot with Intel NICs added to windows 2008 r2 routing table causes non iscsi traffic to attempt default routes on iscsi networks

I have a server with Intel 82576 Gigabit Dual Port Nics. I have configured them to use iSCSI boot the primary looks to 10.0.0.1/24 and the secondary looks to 10.0.1.1/24. The target is configured correctly. Everything boots as expected.
I have added the MPIO feature and configured MPIO for the iscsi initiator as per: http://blogs.technet.com/b/migreene/archive/2009/08/29/3277914.aspx.
My issue is that the iSCSI networks show up in the routing table like so:
I did not configure a default route in the Intel setup utility:
I tried to explicitly remove the 0.0.0.0 entry and leave blank, with no change. As you can see with the above routing table traffic attempts to travel over these routes:
C:\Users\Administrator>ping google.com
Pinging google.com [209.85.145.99] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 10.0.0.201: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 10.0.1.201: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 209.85.145.99: bytes=32 time=23ms TTL=51

Ping statistics for 209.85.145.99:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
A ping to the outside world first attempts on 10.0.0.x/24 network, then on 10.0.1.x/24 network and then finally on the network the traffic should go over. I don't want my iSCSI traffic to ever show up with a default route. How do I get rid of it?
route delete 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 "on-link" results in: The route deletion failed: The parameter is incorrect.
route delete 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 on-link results in: The route deletion failed: The parameter is incorrect.
route delete 0.0.0.0 deletes all default routes, then I have to add back in the "valid default route" of 192.168.100.6.
I would like to not have to do a route delete though.

So I've sort of given up on fixing the gateway assignment in the route for iSCSI boot. I configured a DHCP server to give out the information required by iSCSI boot and configured the network cards to use DHCP for their configuration. I insured
that my DHCP server gave out no default gateway entry. However, I still got the undesired routes in the routing table. This makes me assume that there isn't a "fix" for it, only the workaround.
Here is the script I run on each iSCSI Boot initiator (you would obviously change the ip number to suit your environment):

Time Capsule added to existing router - Can this slowdown my whole network?

I recently added a Time Capsule (latest 1TB version) to my exisiting network. It looks like this:
Cable Modem -> DLink 1GB Gaming Router -> Time Capsule (Via CAT6)
The Time Capsule has 2 computers wired to it. All other devises on my network are wired to the Dlink.
I added the Time Capsule with the default settings as an addition to my existing network.
Around the same time, I have noticed that my Internet performance on all my devices had been spotty. I am getting lag on my Xbox Live games, with my voice chat breaking up (although I can hear other people fine.) My downloads are noticably slower on all PCs, Xboxs, and my AppleTV.
I went to DSL Reports and ran a test. It was in the 2000's for both up and download.
I have had trouble in the past with my Cable Internet. I suspect it is Comcast with some problem outside my house. I do not get their TV and know they put filters on the line. I put in a support call with them and they warned me that if they do any work inside the house, there will be a fee...
Does it sound like adding the Time Capsule could have caused a general slow down accessing the Internet from all my devices, even ones not connected to the Time Capsule? (I only have 2 PCs wired to it.) (And I am not using wireless on anything. It is all Cat5 and Cat6 connections)
What should I be getting from DSL Reports on my speeds?
Is there a utiltiy that can show me if the speeds/connections in my house are OK?
Thanks...

I have set up my time capsule via Airport utility to "connect to existing network"
Is that the exact wording of the option you chose? In AirPort Utility I see options of "Create a wireless network", "Join a wireless network", and "Extend a wireless network". (Perhaps the difference is due to language usage.) The option to "Join a Wireless Network" is only useful for sharing disks and printers. It doesn't support Ethernet ports.
if I plug the MBP into an ethernet port on the time capsule it is not recognized
With some options there's a checkbox to "Allow Ethernet Clients". If you see that, try it.

Adding new Computer to my Home Network and I have a WRT54GS .V5 Router

I have a existing home network connecting a HP laptop and a Dell desktop and all is well. Now however I bought a new Lenovo laptop with the Vista OS with SP1 and I would like to connect it to my home existing home network. I know this might be a rather simple question BUT I am not great with networks and I set up my home network years ago and I draw a blank on how I did it. There is one CD I found that I marked with the words Remote Linksys Install on it and there is one file on it named NetSetClient. Not sure why I kept it and I do not remember what it does but might help in getting my solution.
Please help the network novice

As your linksys router is configured and its working on 2 other computers perfectly fine, so you dont have to run the CD again on your new computer. Is your new computer is a Wireless computer, So on your New computer, in the system tray, Right click on Two computer Icon and select "Connect to a Network".. selecte your Wireless network... type in your security key and click on Connect. After this try going online.
If you new computer is a Wired computer, Just plug in the cable from your New computer to the Router and you will be able to go Online.

Problems adding an HP 7210 over the network

I have an HP 7210 connected to my network via a router, and am trying to add it to my mac mini. When adding the printer, on the "Default" tab the fax is discovered fine, but the printer is not. I've tried to force the printer to be added by selecting the discovered "OfficeJet 7200 series (Fax)" and selecting the printer driver, rather than the fax driver, but that did not work (printer is added, but just won't print). I've also tried manually adding it via the IP tab. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the HP drivers, reset the printing system, restarted the printer and mac, etc. Interestingly, I CAN print the test page from the HP Utility when I've tried to force the printer to be added using one of the methods above, but I can just not do it from the print queue.
I'm at a loss... any suggestions.
Thanks!

Well I figured it out, I guess. I manually added the printer on the IP tab selecting "HP Jetdirect", and it worked this time. Not sure why I had to add it manually, but I'm glad it works now.
