AP vs Wireless Bridge in AP mode

What is the difference between AP and Wireless Bridge in AP mode? Or, when to use AP like device and when Wireless Bridge in AP mode?
Thanks for cooperation.
Jovan M., CCNA

BR350 as access points can be used to cover outdoor areas, since they have metal case for durability and plenum rating and an extended operating temperature rating for harsh environments
Other than that BR350 in AP mode is jus similar to AP350(not the pastic ones, the metal plenum rated) if you use for indoor coverage.
From Cisco documentations.
The bridge as a rugged access point connected to the wired LAN. When you select Access Point, the bridge's Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) function is disabled. Figure 3-4 shows a bridge set up as a rugged access point.

  • How to configure Airport as wireless bridge and wired mode?

    I have two airport extremes.
    1)APBN#1 - connected to Cable Modem and local 8port switch
    2) APBN#2 - in wireless bridge mode + Ethernet connected to APBN#1
    I would like APBN#2 to act as a wireless bridge to extend my wireless range for my notebooks, but also provide wired ethernet connection to computers connected to it. HOwever, this creates an IP loop.
    How would I be able to confiture my APBN#2 to act as BOTH a wireless bridge and ethernet switch without conflict?
    Thanks

    I am having related problem I think ... have Cox ISP, a Linksys cable modem and AEBS #1 ... ethernet out of cable modem into AEBS #1 then into netgear 24 port switch (to feed all the ethernet ports in my house). I am unable to have both the AEBS and the wired network function at the same time.
    They have been working for a couple years now ... and for some reason recently (past couple days) been problems...
    If I get the wired (flowing through the AEBS) to work -- then no DNS is being sent to the wireless. If I get the wireless to work, the wired won't.... AEBS #1 (numbering it because once I it up I have another to extend it....)
    thanks

  • Need Help using WRT54GL as Wireless Bridge for Xbox

    Hi.
    I need help configuring my WRT54GL as a wireless bridge for my xbox.
    I have a Billion BiPAC 7404VGO currently in service as my main router/modem. i.e. I have my ADSL connection and PC connected to this. I also connect to this with a laptop.
    I have an original xbox at the other end of the house (cat5 NOT an option).
    Basically I want to connect my xbox to the rest of network. I have a WRT54GL I can use for this. I just dont know how to set it up.
    The WRT54GL has Firmware Version: v4.30.7 (out of the box).
    My Wireless network is using WPA.
    I have a VPN setup through to work via the Billion.
    The idea is to stream media from my PC to the xbox (media centre).
    Any help would be HUGELY appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    A wireless router is a device which requires its own wired internet connection. A wireless router is not a wireless access point like the Linksys WAPs. A wireless router does not connect wireless to other wireless routers/APs with standard Linksys firmware. With Linksys firmware you need a WAP54G or similar. The WAPs support wireless bridging and repeater mode.
    If you already have a WRT54GL then you have to install a 3rd party firmware which adds wireless bridging capabilities. Read the wikipedia article on "WRT54G" for information about which WRT models support 3rd party firmware and an overview of projects and links.
    Remember, however, that you may brick your router if you install a 3rd party firmware incorrectly and you probably void the warranty if you install 3rd party firmware (it is even possible to find out after you restore the original Linksys firmware if you don't clear the NVRAM before).

  • Workaround for lack of wireless bridge mode on WRT110

    okay, so after reading that I don't have a wireless bridge mode on my WRT110, I'm looking for a way to pass dhcp addresses through my linksys router.. Is there a way to do this?
    My setup is modem(cable) -> ASA 5505 (Cisco firewall appliance with 8 switchports) -> WRT110 -> wireless clients (iPhone, laptop, etc).
    Right now I have two internal networks (all the wireline devices plugged into my ASA and my wireless clients off my WRT110).
    reason: I have a application on my iPhone that needs to be on the same network as my home computer. I know I could just plug my home computer into my WRT110, but trying to find a way to keep all wireline clients on my ASA 5505 switchports. Thoughts? Would a ip helper address work on a WRT110?
    Thanks in advance

    Well as your WRT110 will be your secondary router, Well you can set your Linksys Router ( WRT110 and ASA 5505) Cisco Router in the same network.

  • Setting up a netgear n300 as wireless bridge/access point with airport extremee

    I just replaced my netgear wireless router with the airport to allow our many devices on the network without knocking each other off and also increase the speed.  But would like to use the netgear as a wireless bridge or access point so that I can still connect my NTFS formatted hard drive to be shared on the network.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I can not seem to find my netgear router with 192.168.1.1 as that comes up with another device.  I have tried doing this with a windows laptop in another room but can not seem to make it work.  I am now hooked up directly to the airport thinking i need to do it that way and still no luck. Please help.

    As long as you intend to do this over ethernet it will work.. you cannot easily wireless repeat or bridge to an apple router.. you would need specific hardware to do it.
    What is the exact model of netgear you have?
    The setup method depends on the functionality of the router.. but lets assume it does not have a bridge or WAP mode.
    You use WAN bypass.
    1. Setup the Netgear with IP address in the correct IP range for the rest of the network.. it is hard to talk generalities so lets say the apple is main router and your network is now 10.0.1.x .. then set the Netgear to 10.0.1.250 (apple uses IP 2-200 by default) you can use any value you like outside the DHCP range. Up to the limit which is 254 as long as you keep track of all static IP devices. Apply this setting and power cycle the router.. and you might need to power cycle the computer as well to pick up the new IP.
    2. Turn off the DHCP server in the Netgear. You may lose connection to the netgear now.. do not worry about it.. (this can be combined with one.. if you firstly turn off dhcp before you change the IP.. but whatever is possible.. at some point you will need to change around and if you forget what IP .. you will be in a mess.. so write it on a label and stick on the base of the router.. also without dhcp you will either need to reset router to factory using reset button or use static ip on the computer. )
    3. Plug ethernet from LAN of the main router to LAN of the Netgear. Reboot the whole network is often necessary.
    4. In your computer plugged somewhere in the network.. open browser and go to the address you set.. 10.0.1.250 in my example.
    5. You can then setup the Netgear to do whatever you like.. DIsk access is fine.. wireless is fine.. it just cannot be a router.
    Many many reboots if you get lost. Hit reset and start over.

  • How do i use wrt55ag + wap55ag as a wireless bridge?

    i hope this can be done. i've been searching the forums, but don't seem to have found what i'm looking for. i have a wrt55ag v2 w/1.79 firmware. this is connected to the modem for the internet and has the network on this floor connected. i now need to add a network on another floor. there isn't a way to wire it to here. i was under the impression that a wap55ag would do the trick. however after getting it (wap55ag v2 firmware 1.1), i cannot get the two to talk to each other. the wap is using an address withing the router's range. wireless-a settings are the same on both devices. wap is set for static ip addresses. default gateway is set for the ip of the wireless router. i've tried making the ssid the same and different for the devices. still no connection between the two. since i recently purchased the wap, it can go back. so the primary thing would be making the 2nd network connect wirelessly to the wrt55ag.
    any help would be appreciated.
    well, you go have fun with that.

    hi...if you want to use the AP as a wireless bridge it would only work with another AP...if you want it to use it in wireless repeater mode , it would work with either wrt55ag or wap55ag ..

  • Multipmultiple Airport Extreme Base Stations: WDS Or "Extend Wireless Network" To Have Wired -- Wireless Bridge?

    Hello there!
    I've been looking for this info, but have as yet been unable to find it. Here's my scenario:
    I have two Airport Extreme Base Stations (both are dual band) and 3 airport expresses. The main internet connection in my house is in one room, where I have an AEBS as the main wireless router. In another room, I have a bunch of ethernet-only devices. I'd like to use the 2nd AEBS in this room, plug the ethernet devices into it and have the 2nd AEBS act as a wired <--> wireless bridge (connected to the same wireless network as the 1st AEBS). I've attempted this via "extend a wireless network," but the ethernet devices don't get past the AEBS they're plugged into. Should I instead be implementing WDS?
    I mention the airport expresses as I'd like to have airtunes & wireless signal in other areas, but would like to keep the set-up as simple as possible (i.e., not config the AXes for WDS unless it's required).
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Unlike the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn), the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) cannot be configured as a wireless Ethernet bridge.
    However, there are at least two ways to configure it to provide wired clients access:
    Connect the second AEBSn back to the first by Ethernet; reconfigure the second AEBSn as a bridge and disable its wireless radios, or
    Reconfigure both AEBSns into an extended wireless network. For 802.11n AirPorts, this would be called a dynamic WDS. The AEBSn, connected to the Internet would be the "main" base station and it would only require that you enable the "Allow this network to be extended" option in the AirPort Utility. The extending AEBSn would need to be configured with the option, Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network, enabled.
    In both configurations, the second AEBSn's Ethernet ports would be enabled for wired clients.

  • Aironet 350 Wireless Bridge Problem

    I have inherited a wireless link between two building that used a pair of Aironet 350 wireless bridges.  I say used because one took a lightning strike and is fried.  I need to see the configuration on the remaining bridge to set up the new bridge but no one knows the user name or password to access the remaining functioning 350.  How do I reset this old buzzard?  I have tried all the instructions I have found on this site and others.  There is no reset button.  I found this out by disassembling another Aironet 350 we had which has also taken a strike.  I cannot set up the new 1300 without knowing the config of what it will be talking to.  I have been able to connect to the 350 with a serial cable and I can see some of the information.  But the only thing I get is the ip address for fe0.  I have attached the file I captured to this post.  Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks.

    If you know the IP of the 350, put a laptop on the same subnet and use a crossover cable to web to its GUI.  VxWorks CLI sucks!
    If you can get hold of a pair of 1231 APs, they can be configured to run in bridge mode and use the same antennas as the 350s.  Benefits are IOS and G radios. 

  • Wireless Bridge Aironet 1240

    Hi all,
    is it possible to create a wireless bridge between 2 AP of different brands?
    I need to create a bridge between an Aironet 1240 and a Telecom Italia router (Alice Gate VoIP 2 Plus Wi-Fi), where
    the Alice Gate is the AP and the aironet works in the workgroup mode.
    At home I tried with the Aironet and a Thomson st585: when aironet tries to connect to the ssid, the thomson ap reloads.
    In Aironet logs I find : "Parent lost : too many requests"
    What does it mean?

    dancampb is right. There isn't a standard for wireless bridging so interoperability between vendors is very low.
    I have tried the following 3 tests.
    1. Set Cisco Aironet 1242 as the root AP and Cisco Aironet 1231 as the wireless work bridge. No problem with all encryption methods like WEP, WPA WPA2.
    2. Set Linksys WRT310N as the root AP and Cisco Aironet 1242 as the wireless work bridge. Tried WPA2, can't associate.
    3. Set Belkin54g as the root AP and Cisco Aironet 1231 as the wireless work bridge/repeater. Open method, can't associate.
    As far as I know, if you can flash both the AP and the Bridge with the same firmware like DD-WRT, then you have a big chance to successfully associate them.
    Hope the above tests help.

  • How to load SW in 1310 wireless bridge when flash has no SW-image

    During an upgrade (autonomous software), I indicated that the system should create enough room to load the new software.
    However, while loading the new software, the system crashed, so no image at all is left in flash.
    How can I load a software image in the wireless bridge ?
    In old days with routers this was possible with some x-protocol over the console connection.
    Is there any description on how to handle this on a wireless bridge.
    I always end up in the boot mode.
    Thanks

    If the device doesnt have an image, type reset on the boot console, When it comes up , if will ask for certain options
    set IP_ADDR
    set NETMASK
    set DEFAULT_ROUTER
    set IP_ADDR
    set NETMASK
    set DEFAULT_ROUTER
    Make sure the value (IP_ADDR, NETMASK .. ) are copied exactly, other wise it will not work, Once you have copied, if you type set, you can seet these values.
    After this type the following commands
    tftp_init
    ether_init
    flash_init
    and then
    tar -xtract tftp:/// flash:
    and boot
    Thanks

  • Trouble with wireless bridge......

    I am having extreme difficulty setting up Cisco Aironet 1310 series devices. here is an overview:
    We have our main network with an ip scheme of 10.1.1.0/24 on one side and an office across the street that is on 10.1.2.0/24.
    I want to connect these 2 networks via wireless bridge. We do have a PTP T1 between the 2 sites that is used to carry VoIP traffic and data, but I want the data moved to the wirless bridges.
    I put the bridges on their own network of 192.168.1.0/28 and I am using 2 switches with their own VLANS on the same network as the bridges.
    No matter what I try, I can't get traffic to flow properly.
    does anyone have any suggestions or can they point me in the right direction. It is driving me crazy!
    thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    Hi Andrew, Thanks for the response.
    AP's are running in "root" and "non-root" mode and they are able to talk to each other ok. Just can't get the traffic to flow from point A to B (the main network, through the wireless bridges, over to the remote network and back again), then back from B to A. The traffic either loops or bounces back and forth between the firewall and the switches. I suspect I need t tweak the gateways on each of AP's as well.
    Right now, the gateways are set to point to the VLAN set on the switch of the opposite side. This way, traffic hits the AP and is forwarded through to the opposite VLAN.
    I am using seperate VLAN's to seperate the traffic but have not tried to associate with a specific SSID as of yet.

  • Help connecting emac to Router via Belkin Wireless Bridge FSD7330

    Dear All,
    I've been given an old emac without an Airport card and would like to connect it to my Netgear WGR614v9 wireless router which I run two XP laptops through.
    I've been told that I need a wireless bridge so have bought the Belkin FSD7330. Unfortunately there appears to be no mac software or drivers with either installation cd, despite the manufacturers saying they'll work with macs and I'm out of ideas...
    The emac connects fine to the internet when hardwired to the router but won't seem to pick up the router or bridge wirelessly... Can anyone give me an idiots guide on how to get started please?
    Any help gratefully received! Many thanks

    Hello,
    As Allan already indicated, no special software is needed for a (configured) wireless Ethernet bridge; you can use it with a Mac or a PC.
    There are different versions of the F5D7330 (one or two antennas; colour). Various variants are mentioned at Belkin's UK support centre web site.
    Have a look at this web page regarding firmware. For example, the 1.00.09 version will update applicable units sold with only WEP security to WPA (the use of which is a good idea). You will need a PC to carry out firmware updates.
    Generally speaking, do not run any (PC) setup wizard software from a supplied CD. Instead, make use of the web-based interface. You should be able to run a browser on a Mac or a PC, but the pages may not look the same everywhere (if there is a problem with one browser, try another).
    If necessary, a manual can be downloaded from the support centre. Use the instructions for setting up the F5D7330 wireless Ethernet bridge in an "infrastructure" mode. The security configuration page displayed after a firmware update (to WPA) may differ a bit from the information in the manual. WPA is normally easier to set up than WEP.

  • Wireless Bridge Help

    Hi all,
    I have a Wireless P2P bridge set up between two buildings.  They are about 450 feet apart, Root bridge has a 16dbi Yagi antenna (ebay) and nonroot has a 12dbi Flat Panel antenna.  Both bridges are 1231G APs set to Root and Nonroot mode, respectively.  I have a few questions.  Right now the link is working and is reliably connected.  My data rates right now are 1.0  ,  2.0  ,  5.5  ,  6.0  ,  9.0  ,  11.0  ,  12.0  ,  18.0  ,  24.0  ,  36.0  ,  48.0  ,  54.0                                   Mb/sec on both sides.  I consistenly get on the lower end of the scale, usually hovering around 5.5-12mb/sec range on the nonroot side.  Root is typically transmitting at 48 or 54 mb. 
    My signal should be pretty good at -61 and 34-37 SNR, right?
    At work we have a wireless bridge (1310 hardware) and it is set to :::speed  basic-9.0 basic-12.0 basic-18.0 basic-24.0 basic-36.0 basic-48.0 basic-54.0::: so I went into mine (1231G hardware) and set it to the same.  Voila!  I connected at 24-54mb.  All seemed well - until I noticed that now that I wasnt using the B rates, I had a spotty connection that was going up and down.  Changed it back to all rates, and I again have a stable connection. 
    What can I do to stabilize and set the connection to OFDM rates so it will be fast and reliable?  The distance really shouldnt be an issue, and I can see from one antenna to the other.  Would 2 panel antennas be better?  Should I find higher gain antennas?  Should I switch to the 1310 hardware because it is designed as a bridge?  HELP!!!

    Hi George,
    Tonight I installed a matching panel antenna (l-com HP2414) on my side, and have similar results (actually worse results at first).  I upped my side transmit to CCK 30 and OFDM 30 from 20/20 and now have about the same performance (see red below).  I have a question - how important is it to have the wifi antenna clear?  I have it mounted on the same mast as our TV antenna- see pic attached.  Should I move it to it's own mast?  I can mount another one on a second chimney if necessary, or raise the TV antenna up a few feet. 
    I am also not past sticking a yagi at both sides if that will improve my signal to noise ratio...connection still is around 36-54mb, but download speeds on the other side are still only 6mb, not the full 25 we get on the wire off the core, or even the 16 I got on the test nonroot bridge I set up at the same side as the root.

  • Wireless bridge with WPA

    I want to add my wireless interface wlan0 to a bridge br0. But
    brctl addif br0 wlan0
    doesn't support this operation. I searched online and tried with 4addr mode enabled. Then the above code works but my wireless NIC cannot associate with the AP using wpa_supplicant.
    Could anyone help me explain this? What's the relationship between wireless bridge, 4addr mode and wpa_supplicant?
    Any other solution which can add wlan0 to br0 and associate it with AP using WPA is also welcome. Thank you!

    Assuming you want to have the Wireless interface be the GW....
    Instead directly connect the wireless interface to the bridge device,
    You could use iptables to forward and NAT traffic between wlan0 and br0
    Something like.
    Connect to the wireless network like you normally would.
    Then I guess you have a network of VM's on the bridge?, so...
    echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
    brctl addif br0 eth0
    brctl addif br0 tap0
    brctl addif br0 tap1
    ifconfig br0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
    iptables -A FORWARD -i wlan0 -o br0 -s 10.0.0.0/24 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
    iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
    iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE
    I used that config to route hosts connected to my eth0 interface to the Internet through my wlan0 interface. ( i.e. there was no 'br0' in the iptables config instead it was 'eth0')
    With that config, the Hosts on eth0, tap0, and tap1 will have their default GW be 10.0.0.1 and the Archlinux/router/computer/laptop in the middle will have a default gw of whatever the wlan0's GW is.
