Adding a Router

Has anyone had success adding a second router to act as an AP with the Actionterc Router?  I am trying to expand wireless coverage in my house and would like to use a linksys router I have and set it up as a wireless Access Point on another floor of my home.  I don't want to add it to my netork with ethernet connection because that would mean running cable through floors and walls.

It's pretty common for people to piggy back a 2nd router off of the actiontec for exactly the reason you described.  The above link will give you various configuration setups and solutions and is probably one of the more complete FAQ's out there.

    I added a route in solaris by command-->
    route add 10.224.86.10 -netmask 255.255.255.224 10.224.8.10
    it gave the prompt--add net 10.224.56.0: gateway 10.224.8.10
    I checked the routing table by netstat -r

    which shows that it is added
    but i am not able to ping it from that server
    ping 10.224.86.10
    gives
    no answer from 10.224.86.10
    What is the reason?

    Hi
    You cannot add a route in appliance. You can only setup a default gateway on the appliance.
    All the routing decisions should be taken by default gateway of the appliance.

  • Adding a route to a non pingable router

    I want to add a route to a network that is routed by a firewall. This firewall can't be ping.
    My question is 'How can I add this route ?" because when I try to add the route manually
    route add net 172.19.0.0 255.255.0.0 172.18.60.4 1
    The reply is :
    add net 172.19.0.0: gateway 255.255.0.0: Network is unreachable
    With the HP-UX server, there is an option in the /dev/ip module that tells the routing to NOT ping a gateway when adding a route but this variable ip_ire_gw_probe doesn't exist on Solaris.
    Is there somebody who had an idea ?
    Gilles.

    The following should work, just add the -netmask switch.
    route add net 172.19.0.0 -netmask 255.255.0.0 172.18.60.4 1

  • Adding Static Routes for VLANS

    We have 3 servers each in a different vlan and 1 server is a Bordermanager.
    We added network routes to 2 server and all the vlans can see them, the
    Bordermanager already has a default route that takes it out on the
    internet, when we try to add a private network number of the vlans, it does
    not see the other vlans. What is the correct way to do this or is there?
    Thank you...

    Ok Craig,
    There are only 2 vlans, VLAN1 has all the servers, VLAN2 has all the users,
    a Cisco router supposedly does the routing between both VLANS because the
    router protocol supports ISL. Rip has been removed from the servers. The
    Bordermanager Server is in VLAN1, the problem is that all the servers you
    can change the Static Route to the VLAN2 that has all the users, but the
    Border cannot because it's static route goes out to the internet and it
    doesn't let you make a change, would a 3 card in the Border help? Thanxs...

  • Aaack. Adding a PC to my Happy Mac Family, adding a router?

    Okay, I have 3 Macs connected to a DSL modem via Airport Express, WEP encrypted network. Two Macs run 10.4.8, one runs 10.2.8, all have Airport cards.
    Hubby's new job comes with an IBM Thinkpad running latest version of Windows. New Co. insists he uses "their" router, and sent us a Linksys WRT54G. They say adding this to our network is easy, just plug it in. Huh?
    Any advice or suggestions would be most welcome.....
    Elizabeth

    The Linksys WRT54G is a wireless router and performs basically the same functions that that AirPort Express Base Station (AX) does, except for sharing a USB printer or streaming iTunes.
    You won't need to use both routers, but if you do, you would need to re-setup the AX as a "bridge." Your network configuration with both routers, would be something like the following:
    DSL modem > (Ethernet cable) > [Internet port] Linksys [LAN port] > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] AX
    If you elect just to use the Linksys, then just remove the AX from the above network configuration. The Linksys router comes with Windows-based setup software, but it administration is also web-based...so you could your Mac to set it up by way of Safari.
    The following is a typical Linksys router setup for DSL:
    Linksys Router Setup - DSL
    - Access the Linksys web-based setup at 192.168.1.1 (or whatever address your router is set at) using a web browser. The default username is blank & password is "admin."

    - LAN IP Address: 192.168.1.1
    - Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    - WAN Connection Type: PPPoE
    -- User Name: <ISP Account Name>
    -- Password: <ISP Account Password>
    -- Service Name: (optional)
    -- Connect on Demand: Max Idle Time 5 Min. (enabled)
    - Apply (if you make changes)
    Status tab
    - WAN (all the values here should be populated by your ISP)
    DHCP tab
    - DHCP Server: Enable
    - Starting IP Address: 192.168.1.n, where n should be greater than 1

    So it appears that there is no option to lock down access to the shell now that the command that you used to use is no longer valid. What is worse is that there isn't an option to create an ACL in the shell that you could attach to the interface. So I would recommend that you create a defect with Cisco TAC and get this re-added or request that ACL functionality is added. 
    For the GUI (in case you were not already aware of this), you can restrict access from Administration > Admin Access > Settings > Access > IP Access

  • Adding Reverse Route causes 50% loss

    I am building some IPSEC tunnels where thje remote locations have Dynamic IP addresses. It works fine, but I need to add more sites, right now I just have the one. When I add the reverse route statement, i start getting 50% packet loss based on ping responses "!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!" If I remove the RR it works fine. "!!!!!!!!!!"  Question is, what am I doing wrong or do I really need the reverse route? Right now the ACL is for the one subnet for current location, but I will be adding more sites. How would I adjust the ACL for more remote subnets if the remote sites are doing split tunneling and the ACLs must match?

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

  • Port not available to be added to route group

    CUCM 9.1.2
    I have a 2911 (MGCP) with an FXO card.  The FXO port is configured and shows as registered but will not show up in the ports list in my route groups so that I can add it.  Every other port from my other MGCP gateways shows up fine.  Resetting the port and having it re-register did not help.  Any ideas?

    If the port is assigned to a route pattern, it wont be an option available under Route groups and vice versa. I would check depending records on the ports to see where its assigned and change it.

  • 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..

  • Adding a router to the firewall exceptions?

    The xx IP in line 2 is my router. How can I stop this error?
    Thanks for your time - it's much appreciated.

    First off, it's not an error. At least not technically.
    The traffic it's reporting is merely standard BOOTP/DHCP traffic. I'm guessing your router is also your network's DHCP server and it's sending out normal broadcast traffic as part of its DHCP-related duties.
    If you want to stop the logging, either set a rule in the firewall with a no-log option, or turn off the firewall altogether - if you're on a private LAN protected by a hardware firewall there it little to gain in running the software firewall on your server.

  • Adding a Route Pattern to a Line Group?

    Hi
    We have an analog device which is patched into our Voice Gateway and has a dial peer using extension 444.
    I have setup a route pattern within CUCM which points at the gateway for 444.
    However I can't seem to add this Route pattern to a line group to be part of a hunt?
    The line group seems to be just internal extensions but I need the route pattern of 444 to be in the same line group as two internal extensions?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Route Patterns are used for destinations that are 'off-ssytem' i.e. over trunks and so on.
    Line Groups can only contain local lines on the system. This pretty much means only SCCP controlled lines, as CUCM is fully aware of the line state at all times.
    If you want a port to be in a line group, you'll need to register it to CUCM as an SCCP gateway.
