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.

It is the wireless network adaptor. Actiontec WCB3000N.

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.

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 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 advanceIf 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.

My time capsule was working and then I added another Macbook pro. TC stopped appearing in Airport Utilities. I have tried resetting TC, I have turned if off and held reset button with pen for >10 secs. I just cannot work out what else to do? I have turned router off and on. Amber light is flashing.
The ethernet says self assigned IP 169.254.67.6
Then the ethernet is not getting an IP from the TC.. there is no connection.
I am not sure where you mean when you say the green LED should be on. Do you mean the TC?
Thanks
In order to help troubleshoot ethernet connections all routers use connectivity leds.. even APPLE.. it has one big LED on the front.. and 4 tiny leds beside each ethernet port. That light has to come on for ethernet to be active.. if you plug an ethernet cable into the port and the light doesn't come on.. then there is no connection.. either the other end isn't plugged in.. or the cable is bad.. or the ethernet port is bad.. something is wrong.
To get access to the TC you need this led to be green.. is it?
If it is green and the WAN is also green.. then I want you to unplug the WAN connection.. the blue wire in the picture.. the port slightly separated from the 3 LAN port.. computer plugged just into LAN port.. no airport turned on.. and press the reset again for 10sec until front led flashes rapidly.. then try and bring up the airport utility again.. assuming the ethernet led is green.
How old and what model is the TC?
The A number from the rubber mat will tell us the model. -
Help! We have a form with more than 200 entries and when I looked at it yesterday it had one! When you download the form to excel they all show up. However, when I added another record today it disappeared. Can you tell me what's happening? I've been using adobe forms for 2 years with mass response feedback and have never had this problem.
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,

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. -
How do I delete a credit card from my iTunes account without adding another one? My friend bought an app with her credit card and I no longer have the info but every time I try to download a free app (ex: Instagram, Twitter, vine etc.) it ask for the credit cards security code. I can not find a way to delete that cards info without adding another cards info.

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:

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
10.224.86.10 10.224.8.10 UG 1 0
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?
Thanks
AnmolHi
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.

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. -
Powershell script assistance - adding another property to existing script
This is not my script but was written by Richard L. Mueller. It works perfectly for us but I would like to know if the account is enabled or disabled when the output is created. Basically it would output the name, lastlogon and then either enabled or disabled.

It works fine if I add something like "givenName" but I can't find the property name to show if the account is enabled or disabled.

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 -

I had migrated my outlook acct. from my PC to my IMac and when I went back to use my password it wouldn't let me in. Any ideas of what I should do?Adding another account would not affect one that you already had. Either the password is wrong, or the server is coincidentally rejecting your credentials for some reason, or you did something different.
