Adding Wireless to Lan

I have a LAN w/ a Cisco Pix 501 firewall router and want to add wireless device. I have a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router. Can I use it for this project? When I tried to configure by using the access (wired line) from my desktop - I could not get an internet connection. Any help would be appreciated. Is there an additional setting that I have to change so that the wireless router can communicate with the Cisco router?

How are you connecting the wireless router to the Cisco router?
What is the IP address of the wireless rounter? What is the IP address of the Cisco router?

Wireless Virtual LAN - SSID and ACS User Mapping

Hi Everybody
We have the following senario:
- WLC 4402 and ACS 3.3
- 2 SSID's , One for Emploies - one for gests
- All users are (guest and emploies) are authentication against the ACS Server.
We would like to only permit Guest users to use the Guest SSID.
I've been reading the Wireless Virtual LAN Deployment Guide :
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/witc/ao1200ap/prodlit/wvlan_an.pdf
and have tried to use methode 1.
- RADIUS-based SSID access control:
"Upon successful 802.1X or MAC address authentication, the RADIUS server
passes back the allowed SSID list for the WLAN user to the access point or bridge. If the user used an SSID on the allowed SSID list, then the user is allowed to associate to the WLAN. Otherwise, the user is disassociated from the access point or bridge."
"This is configured by enableling the ?[026/009/001] cisco-av-pair? option. On the ACS Server
- Enable and configure Cisco IOS/PIX RADIUS Attribute,
009\001 cisco-av-pair
- Example: ssid=LEAP_WEP"
I've tried this, but regardless of wich SSID the user(-group) has configured, it sill can access all SSID's?
Does anyone have any idea of what I'm doing wrong?
Does this setting only apply to Accesspoint, or is it also valid for the WLC 44xx series?
Greetings
Jarle

Hi I'm sorry but this still does not help.
We have now upgraded ACS to version 4.0 and I'm still having the same problems.
This is what i have configured:
WLC:
- WLAN
- SSID : Public
- WLAN id = 3
- L2 Security : 802.1x
- Interface Name : GuestVLAN
- Controller - Interface
- management - Untagged
- GuestVLAN - VLAN 112
- Security
- RADIUS Servers
When authenticating a Guest(belonging to the proper group in acs) - the right VLAN is used, IP Adresses from DHCP is recieved, and the Guest can access internet.
Switch:
- Port connected to WLC uses Trunking.
- Guests are connected to VLAN 112 and "native VLAN" is used to connect the Private Users.
ACS:
- AAA Client is the WLC, Authenticating using Cisco Airespace
- Guest Users are member of Group 11
- Private Users are member of Group 1
Group 11
- Use Per Group NAR to only allow WLAN Access
- Cisco Airespace RADIUS Attributes
x 14179\001 - Aire-WLAN-ID = 3
- Cisco IOS / PIX RADIUS Attributes
x 009\001 Ciso-av-pair = "ssid=Public"
- IETF Radius Attributes
x 006 Service Type = Login
x 007 Framed-Prot = ppp
x 064 Tunnel-Type = VLAN
x 065 Tunnel-Medium-tye = 802.1x
x 081 Tunnel-Private-Group-ID = 112
Group (default Group)
- Cisco Airespace RADIUS
x 14179\001 Aire-WLAN-ID = 1
- Cisco IOS/PIX Radius Attrib
x 009\001 Cisco-av-pair = "ssid=Private"
- IETF RADIUS
x 008 Service-type = Login
x 064 Tunnel-Type = VLAN
x 065 Tunnel-Medium-tye = 802.1x
x 081 Tunnel-Private-Group-ID = 1
Do you have any idea of what i should change?

Adding wireless capability to Voyager 220V

My father has a Voyager 220V router - can I call it a router as it connects to only a single PC? Anyway, I would like to know how to add wireless functionality to it. If it had more than one network port, i.e. what I would expect a router to have there would be no problem - I'd add a Netgear wireless hub. So, all suggestions would be welcome. Richard

Struggling wrote:
Presumably he could use any (proper) router in place of the Voyager - at the cost of losing the VOIP functio?
What would those WiFi laws be then?
The point of adding wireless capability is to make use of the portability of my mother's new laptop. I don't fancy installing CAT5 and sockets throughout every room of their house - it was bad enough doing it in my own place.
Richard
You could try adding a DSL router as per my previous link but if the new router isn't fully compatible the VOIP system may not work anyway.
Make sure if using Wifi to use WPA2-PSK encryption with a strong passphrase.
This link may be helpful.

Adding wireless to home LAN w/ WRT54G2

I have a home LAN composed of ethernet cables and two Linksys Etherfast 10/100 5-port workgroup switches. This setup is about 6 years old and has always worked fine, has never been updated since original setup.
Now I need to replace the ethernet card in my son's desktop computer, and since he will probably be getting a laptop soon with wireless, I figured this would be a good time to add wireless to our network. I've never worked with any wireless network stuff before, so just bought what the guy at Staples recommended: a Linksys Wireless-G PCI card to replace my son's ethernet card, and a Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router.
We are not using the Router for an internet connection; we live too far from town for cable, and don't want Embarq DSL, so our only internet connection is by dial-up through my computer (connection shared with the kids through our LAN).
All I want this new wireless stuff for is to let my son connect to our existing LAN via wireless.
Problem 1: all of the setup instructions seem to assume that we are connecting to the internet by cable or DSL and that this will go through the new router. As noted above, we're not doing that.
Problem 2: when I try to do the initial setup from the included CD, it keeps giving me errors. The errors are different depending on whether my computer is connected to the internet via dial-up when I run the setup:
2a) if my computer is connected to the internet via dial-up when I run setup, the error message comes during the first step (Check Connection) and says "Error 301: Internal Error" - unfortunately, there does not seem to be any reference for me to look up Error 301 and see what this actually means.
2b) if my computer is not connected to the internet when I run setup, then setup progresses OK through the Check Connection step without error and goes on to the Install Router step. Since I am not connecting to the internet through this router, I cannot follow the instructions exactly as given (since they assume a cable or DSL connection through the router), but I do the rest of it and connect the router to my computer's ethernet port with the included cable, then plug in the router. Setup shows a "waiting for router" message for about two minutes, then terminates with the error message: "Your new router does not appear to be connected properly. Error 322: New Router Not Detected." (The green LEDs light up showing that the router recognizes an ethernet connection in LAN port 1, but the setup program doesn't seem to be aware of this somehow?)
Problem 3: I thought that I might be able to just skip the above by giving my web browser the address 192.168.1.1 and going into the router's internal setup that way. No such luck; although the router is connected to my computer and is powered on, my browser says the requested page is Not Found.
Is this even the right product for what I am trying to do - add wireless to our existing LAN? Or is this only intended for connection through a cable or DSL modem to the internet,as all of the instructions seem to assume?
Any help for dealing with above error problems and getting this thing working?

You did not want a wireless router. You wanted a wireless access point. Wireless routers are made to share the internet connection. That's what the standard installation procedure on the CD does. Anything else must be done manually.
You can use the access point in the WRT to add wireless to your existing LAN. The basic instructions are here.
In your scenario the first router is your dial-up computer with internet sharing. It uses IP address 192.168.0.1 by default. An available LAN IP address for the WRT would be 192.168.0.2 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
To change it, you should unplug the WRT from everything. Connect a single computer by wire to the WRT. Do not use your dial-up/internet-sharing computer for that. This other computer should automatically get an IP address from the WRT and now you should be able to access http://192.168.1.1/ In the setup change the LAN IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.2. On the same page also turn off the DHCP server. Now save the settings. You'll loose the connection.
Now rewire everything back. The WRT is hooked up by one of its numbered LAN ports to your LAN! Do not use the internet port of the WRT! That should do it. Now wireless computers can connect through the WRT into your LAN and through that to your dial-up and internet.

Adding wireless capability to HP Laserjet Pro M1536DNF

I presently have an Hp Laserjet 3052 to which I do not believe I can add wireless capability.
I am considering a Laserjet M1535DNF. The spec sheet says that wireless can be added by using a separate
accessory. Is this a reasonable purchase if I must have wireless capability?

I figured it out. I bought this printer specifically because the Apple web site said it was compatible to print with the iPad. Well, it is if you connect it by ethernet to a router that is connected to a wireless router. That's the only way you'll get it to print with AirPrint. After hours of mucking around, I finally got it to work and the ONLY way is what I've described, at least right now. And the wireless router must be on the same network as the one accessed by your iPad. It is great to be able to print from the iPad. Good luck. Sudsbrew

Can hp laserjet cm1415fnw be wireless and lan connected at same time?

I understand that on the printer settings it only allows you to be either wireless or hard wired to the LAN. is there possibly a way for both settings to be on simultaneously? I have a user here that's on an iPad and connects to our network via wireless, but at the same time has a virtual pc session from his remote office and the printer needs to be hard wired to the lan to print from the vpc session. This is a tricky one that i can't wrap my head around. Thanks.

Hi sorry for the late reply, yes the address is in the same subnet as what the ssid is broadcasting at. the issue i'm having now is that the printer is not broadcasting itself through airprint. I can't see the printer show up when i want to print a web page. I've tested on an ipad and an iphone. i've gone through all the settings and everything checks out fine. The printer is connecting to the correct network which is the same wireless ssid the ipad and iphone is connected to wirelessly. Just seems the printer isn't broadcasting itself. Any suggestions as to what I may be missing here? Thanks.

Adding Wireless to Comcast Cable Modem

Hey Folks, use to be a Geek way back in the day of the PCXT (for you old timers) My daughter away at college needs to add wireless to her Motorola 6121. What's the best way? Adding a wireless router or swapping out the modem for a model with wireless. How hard is it to configure a wireless router to work with the existing modem?
Thanks for the help.
Bob

I like Belkin. I got a refurbished Wireless N router for $9.99 a year ago and it still works today. No problems with it whatsoever.

Adding wireless laptop to eMac cable modem

My eMac 700 mhz is connected to a cable modem via ethernet. I want to add a wireless laptop also using the cable modem so I can use the laptop anywhere, without having to add Airport on the eMac also. How can this be done?

You can do this with a wireless router - any model sold by your local computer shop will do, and should cost you around $30-60. At home:
- connect the cable modem to the router's WAN or "internet" port
- connect the eMac to one of the router's LAN ports
- your new laptop will of course connect wirelessly
All this can also be done exactly as I described with an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (costs $199). For that premium price you get a device that is arguably easier to set up for Mac users, and you get a built in USB port that can be used to share a connected printer between both the eMac and the laptop.

Adding Wireless Routers

I have been using a WCG200 modem/router on a home network for some time with no problems. I'm trying to add a WRT54G router to the network, so I can add a printer to the network. So far i cannot make this work. Does anybody have any experience with this?

You don't want a router. You want a wireless access point. You have wireless routers which you don't want to use as routers but only as access points. A router by definition routes traffic between multiple subnets connected to different interfaces (WAN and LAN). That kind of configuration is not what the WRT is built for and that's why support tells you it's a not a standard configuration for a WRT.
You can use a WRT like a simple access point.
Reconfigure the router through its web inteface. Wire a computer to the router first.
1. Set the LAN IP address to a free IP address in the existing network.
2. Make sure NOT to set a static IP on the internet connection type.
3. On the main setup page disable the DHCP server.
4. Now save settings. You'll loose the connection.
5. Unplug the computer and wire one of the numbered LAN ports to your existing network.
Now you can access the web interface of the WRT on the new LAN IP address. Everything wired to the remaining 3 LAN ports and everything connected wireless has direct access to the network.

Adding wireless to wired

I have a wired network, (Netgear RT314), I bought a Linksys WRT54GS to add wireless capability. The information I have come across in trying to figure this out is confusing and contradictory at times.
I have a spare port on the Netgear to plug the Linksys into. Now, does the other end go into a LAN port or the Internet port on the Linksys? And I think I am supposed to disable DHCP on the Linksys, but am I also supposed to change LAN IP address on the Linksys?
Anyone have any experience with this?

If you're gonna connect the LAN of netgear to INTERNET of linksys, it will work, though you're gonna have to setup static/dynamic routing to enable file-sharing.
Easiest way to do this (and prevent you from pulling your hair out in clumps) is to change the lan ip of linksys to 192.168.0.2 and disable the DHCP. That way the linksys will work as a wired/wireless switch and the netgear will handle all the DHCP troubles. This time, connect the LAN of netgear to the LAN of linksys (not to internet).

Getting my partners MacBook onto our wireless home LAN using WPNT834

I don't have much experience with Macs but know a bit about basic networking, well enough to set up a home network based on a cable modem, cable router with both wired and wireless PC clients.
My partner has a MacBook which used to be on the wireless network. I had to reset our router and start again. I can get all the PC's back onto the LAN, but not the MacBook.
We are trying to use AirPort.
Airport is on, but not finding our wireless network. Picking up a neighbours though!
Should pick up ours because this PC laptop I'm typing on is picking it up, and its right beside the MacBook. Both are beside the wireless router!
in the router settings under "Wireless Advanced"
Enable SSID Broadcast = YES
I'm thinking it must be some setting on the router is stopping the mac picking up the network's presence. Now we are right beside the wireless router and its still not picking it up!
Under Wireless settings I have :
Region: Europe (choices are Europe, Asia, Australia)
Channel: 01 (choices are auto, 01, 02 etc to 13)
Mode: g and b (choices are "g and b", "g only", up to 126Mbps, up to 240Mbps)
I tried changing channel from the defaults of auto to 01
and mode from default of 240Mbps to "g and b"
still no joy
seem to remember channels had something to do with it, last time we had this working....
but could be wrong

A few days ago to get the rest of the network going I'd reset the factory defaults on the router. Then I'd upgraded the firmware on the router from 1.041 (i think) to 1.051.
I saw something on the apple forum abut a guy with this router, needing to go back some versions on his firmware to be able to see his wireless network, so I went back to 1.041
Hey presto, now we can see the wireless network!
Joining it is now easy because by now I've disabled security to make it as simple as possible.
I looks like this is why it used to work before I reset & upgraded the router.

Cant see network via wireless only LAN

hi can only see media box on network if Lan cable connected to pc via router, can only access media box to play music via explorer if wireless. can access via network via Lan cable only??so i can do backup's etc

There are a lot of things that we can consider as to why your wireless network is not able to communicate to the media hub. Take for example AP Isolation on your wireless router. Make sure AP Isolation is disabled on your router so the wireless computer can communicate to the computers on your network. Second is the wireless adapter installed on your wireless computer, make sure it is properly configured. Check if the Clients for Microsoft Network and Support for File and Printer Sharing are enabled on the Properties. Third would be the firewall, there are some firewalls that can be configured to affect only on certain interface whether it's LAN or Wireless.

Can't get Wireless or LAN to work

I have a Toshiba Satelite S55DT-A (serial XXXXXXXXX) and everything was working fine until this past weekend when a windows update processed and now my wireless and ethernet do not work. I tried rolling back the update but that has not worked. I have tried to download new drivers from Toshiba and that has not worked either. I am at a loss for what to do next. Any suggestions? I posted an image of the error I get on the screen from the driver manager.

Tell us what you mean by that. Did you use System Restore? Did you uninstall something that came from Microsoft? Or what?
Which updates are you talking about? Do you know how to learn that?
Did you verify in Device Manager that the LAN is Atheros and the wireless is Realtek?

Adding Wireless-N-ONLY Time Capsule to Dual-Band Airport Extreme Network?

I have a dual-band airport extreme which I have configured to create both a wireless-a/b/g/n SSID on my network, as well as a second SSID which is Wireless-N-ONLY (meant to be used with my Time Capsule so that all backups to the Time Capsule via Time Machine are only ever done via Wireless-N).
My Airport Extreme is already configured, and now I just have to configure my Time Capsule on my network...
Can someone briefly run through the "assist me" steps in the Airport Utility that I'd want to follow to configure my Time Capsule so that it's available on my dual-band base station's wireless-N-ONLY network and so that it's not transmitting or receiving any other wireless protocol other than wireless-N?
Thanks!

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your earlier feedback. I now have a dual band TC and the previous dual band EABS and I'm tearing my hair out trying to get these things to play nice! Maybe you can provide some assistance:
1) The TC upstairs is connected to the comcast modem and is the main 'router' in my network. In addition, I'm using the "create wireless network" option on this router to set up both a 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz wireless environment.
2) The AEBS downstairs on the opposite end of the house is connected by ethernet - whole house is wired so I'm feeding from the TC upstairs through a switch in the disti box down to an outlet where I have the AEBS. The cat-5 cable is connected to a LAN port on the back of the AEBS.
3) I have the AEBS set up to extend the wireless network. When I do this it only gives me the ability to select one wireless network (I have the TC configured to call the 5 GHz network something different) - In essence doesn't appear to want to let me extend both bands of the wireless network.
The problem seems to be that once I get all the configurations set I have no connectivity and if I try to open the configuration via Airport Utility, its just a spinning gear and will never open to show the settings. This happens to with both the TC and the AEBS. It's like it's in a loop or something.
I immediately disconnect the AEBS from the network and suddenly all is well again.
I know this seems like a rant, but this has been kicking my a** for two days!! I've just about had it with the constant 'hard reset' of the routers and starting over with configuration. If you have any specific things I should do, or settings that are key to set up both devices to extend my wireless network throughout the house I would be so thankful!!
Thanks,
Don

Trouble adding wireless printers to macbook air

I have a mid-2011 11" MacBook Air. I'm trying to add a couple of wireless printers we have set up on our network: Epson Artisan 1430 and Epson WorkForce 845. I've had no problem adding these printers to MacBook Pros we have, but neither printer will show as an option on the Air when I try to add them. ANy advice is appreciated.
