Best way to have internet only wireless network

Our current way of configuration for this is standalone ap's with multiple ssid's. The main network ssid's are on the 10.0.0.0 networks. The internet only ssid is on the 192.168.1.0 network. ( this is a wireless network only,no wired) They all get there dhcp address from a layer 3 switch. To prevent the wireless 192.168.1.0 intenet only network from getting to the 10.0.0.0 networks, we just put a simple source & destination deny acl on the in vlan interface of the 192.168.1.0 network on the layer 3 switch.
Now that we are impementing a Cisco 2504 controller, the management and ap manger are both on the 10.0.0.0 network.( both on port 1 with dynamic ap manager enabled)  I can setup as many ssid's on the 10.0.0.0 network and they all work fine. But when I setup the 192.168.1.0 internet only ssid it will not connect. I'm assuming that its because the 192.168.1.0 network or anyone trying to connect and use that network has to go through the controller located on the 10.0.0.0 network. I'm thinking that the acl on the vlan interafce is the problem.
Please correct me if i'm wrong here on any of the above thinking. So, if I'm correct, what is the best way to setup a separate internet only network through the private networks? I'd appreciate any advice on this subject as I'm new to the lan controller way of doing things.
Thanks

So it should be working, you may need to disable proxy on the WLC.  Controller > Advanced > DCHP and uncheck the proxy box.
If you do this, you need to make sure you have ip helper-address configured under the L3 interfaces

  • Best way to have only one  instance of an object in web application.

    Hello,
    I defined a class that provides services to my web application: subscribes user, check if user already subscrubed etc. The objects don't need to save any session information. So it is like a Stateless Session Bean (from what I've read about Session beans).
    The webapp is small and I don't want to use EJBs.
    What would be the best way to have one instance of the above class in my webapp ?
    Would making the class static be a good method ? Using a factory ?
    Is there a way to put in web.xml something that asks the container to instantiate an object that is not a servlet and place it in Application scope, so that I cann retrieve it whenever required in my app ?
    Other suggestions ?
    Thank you,
    Vlad.

    Hi
    The best way to have only one instance is use the singleton pattern. The idea is : the class has a private
    contructor, a public static method that returns an instance of this object and a static member that is false if not any instance and true if there si an instance.
    To obtain one instance you can do some like
    MyObject ob=MyObject.getIntance();
    this method inspect the static member and returns null if true. If false set to true and return the object
    via the private constructor.

    Hope this helps

  • WRTP54G router: I have internet access wirelessly but a wired desktop doesn't.

    We have an excellent wireless network working in the house, but my desktop (which isn't wireless) can't get internet access.  It says that a network cable is unplugged - it's not.  When a cable is plugged into one of the 4 ethernet ports in the back of the router, the ethernet lights on the front don't light up or flash or anything.  I think that part isn't working.  Is there anything I can do?  Should I update the firmware?  Or just get a new router?  I have tried using different cables, but nothing changes.  The only way for the desktop to get online is to take the router out of the configuration, but then the wireless network and the Vonage phone are out.
    I went to ipconfig at the command prompt and under Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: my Media State is Media disconnected.  So, I'm guessing the ethernet ports on the router are not working at all. 
    Thanks for your help.

  • Is there a way to have internet access for my laptop through Verizon?  I have a smartphone, but I don't want to rack up too much data.

    Is there a way to have internet access for my laptop through Verizon?  I have a smartphone, but I don't want to rack up too much data.  How would the laptop connect to the  4G? network?  Thanks for any info:)

    Rcshnoor nailed it, everything will depend on how they manage their data connection once the laptop is connected.  It is perfectly feasible that they will have no issues with this new connection.  However, there is nothing stopping the user from going above and beyond the data usage cap currently sufficient for the phone by itself.  We cannot presume that any estimations on new usage will be accurate either.
    Users should always be aware of the reality that revolves around data usage and the devices that consume them.  Its no different than installing a 2nd waterline/hose on your house.  Sure the hose will be fine if you remember to turn it off when you are done, but no one is going to stop you from letting it run all night if you forget.

  • Best Way to Have 'Extended' WiFi Network Through Long House

    HI, I'm helping a friend setup his wireless network at his house. The house is rather long & narrow.
    We setup a new Time Capsule at the far end of the house in the office. It functions as the base station, and needs to connect to the cable modem, 1 non-wireless computer, and a USB printer back there.
    Then we setup a new Airport Express (n) in the middle living room of the house. This was mostly to get extended range, but also to plug audio into home theater for AirTunes.
    The TC is set to a/b/g/n (for an older MacBook and two iPhones) 2.4ghz on a free channel. When connecting to it we get great speeds, but it does not have the signal to carry to the far side of the house. I even tried it initially as 802.11n ONLY at both 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz with a new MacBook, but it still didn't seem to get a whole lot more coverage (not enough, at least).
    I tried setting the AE to either 'Extend My Network' or to 'Participate in a WDS'. In both instances, we get more signal at the far end of the house (not as much as I would have thought), but the speed is HORRIBLY slow! It is far less than half the speed. As soon as we move back in range of the TC, the speed is generally really good again (checking connection by MAC address).
    • So is there ANY way we can get coverage over the whole house for both 802.11n and 802.11g devices, and still have decent throughput??
    Thanks! Unfortunately they don't have ethernet running through the walls, otherwise I'd try that. And I'm terrified to think what the backup times might be like when we start trying Time Machine!

    Hmm, we could try seeing if having both in the center would provide enough reach. Not sure if it would. The problem would be wireless access for the computer in the back office (old iMac, no WiFi), and printing to the printer back there.
    • In this scenario, would adding a second Airport Express in the back room just for the computer and printer slow the network from the base station(s)?
    • What about putting just TC in center living room on a/b/g/n, and AE in back office for computer & printer? Pros/Cons? We'd just have to figure out a way to get the Airtunes in the living room (I'm pushing him for Apple TV).
    The reason for TC for Time Machine backups is very simple. I know this couple would not remember to regularly attach a hard drive to do Time Machine backups. It needs to be as 'automatic and painless' as the TC was 'intended' to make it, otherwise I know it just won't happen.
    Thanks again!

  • What's the best way to access internet

    I have a desktop with DSL, in my workroom. With my Powerbook, I want to access the internet from various places in my apartment. I guess this means wireless, correct? Otherwise I'd need to have a really long cord connecting to my DSL, yes? So what do I need and will I really be able to access the net from any room? The Airport bus doesn't have enough ports, altho if it's the best way, I'm open.

    I don't know what the AppleCare guy was talking about. This is a quote from the Apple Store Online information about the Airport Base Station"
    "Using the AirPort Extreme Base Station, up to 50 users can work and play on the Internet simultaneously up to 150 feet away from the base station. "
    You only need one "port" to plug your cable or DSL modem, with an Ethernet cable, into the base station. The computers connect wirelessly, using their internal Airport cards. (I am assuming you have Airport cards in your computers, as without them, you can't do anything wirelessly.)
    If you have fewer than 50 computers, and you're not planning on sitting more than 150 feet from the base station, you should pretty much be able to go online, print, and network wirelessly from almost anywhere in your home or office. Add a second base station or an Airport Express base station, and you can extend that range.
    As was stated above, there are some factors that interfere with the wireless connection (steel walls, etc.) but such issues are rare and can usually be fixed by moving the location of your base station.
    By the way, if you only need to connect 10 or fewer computers, I'd go for the Airport Express. It can be connected to your home stereo, so you can wirelessly play your iTunes from your computer over your sound system, as well as do all of the other things you can do with a regular Airport Base Station. It's a great feature.
    I just got an Airport Express, but before that, I used a NETGEAR wireless router. It was a lot cheaper than an Airport Base Station ($50 vs. $199!!!!) and it works flawlessly with my laptops and Airport cards.
    So, unless you NEED an Airport Base Station, or want the Air Tunes capabilities of the Airport Express, I'd go for a third-party router, such as a NETGEAR, or a Linksys.
    By the way, my NETGEAR allows me to hard-wire up to 4 computers to the router and also use several other computers wirelessly. If you need to do something like that, again, a third-party router is a better bet. You can also get non-wireless routers, but then you'd be chained to a specific location whe you surfed the web. What's the fun in that?

  • Best way of storing content for home network?

    I have a 3rd gen Apple TV and a family with numerous iPada, iPhones and Macs. We also have a finite limit on our internet data consumption. I'm looking for the best way of managing my kids' movie downloads so that they don't keep downloading the same movies to different devices, consuming our data allowance in the process.
    Ideally I'm looking for a way of connecting a hard disk to the wireless network so that we can download direct to that, using one of our macs or iPads, and then have the Apple TV stream from there. But that seems harder than it should be, if not impossible. At the moment we all have our individual libraries on our devices but often both kids want the same movies so that means the same movies getting downloaded twice.
    Using family sharing we can share each other's purchases but each family member has to end up with their own copy of the movie in their library on at least one of their devices if they want to watch it, which means downloading multiple times.
    Is there a way of achieving a home network with a core storage device shared amongst the family members which can be used both for streaming to iPads and appletv?
    Thanks
    James

    Thank you Rudegar that is helpful. I hadn't realised that you could get an iOS app to control a NAS, so that could fix it for me.
    Can multiple users with different libraries store their movies on the same NAS? And would any user then be able to play a movie stored on the NAS by using AirPlay to stream it to the AppleTV?
    What NAS would you recommend?
    Many thanks, James

  • Best way to extend g and n networks with ethernet and AEBSn

    Can anyone suggest the best way to extend both b/g and n wireless networks using a dual band AEBS, an AEBSn and AXs b/g?
    I have two areas of the house served by cat5. Right now I have a wired AX set "Join wireless network" and an AEBS n wired and set to "Join wireless network". Wondering if that is the best way to do the b/g.
    I have an extra AX. Wondering if I could do AEBS Main to cat5 to small switch in other part of house with cat5 to AX set to "join wireless network" to extend the b/g and cat5 to the AEBS set to "extend network" to extend the n component of the network in the same space?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Yes "Solution 3:" is what you want to use.
    Yes your MacBook will pick the "best" base station to connect to at any given time. Only Apple's engineers know the algorithm used to determine which offers the "best" connection.

  • Got a new iMac, best way to transfer files/set up network?

    I just got a new iMac. I have a MBP from which I would like to transfer all contents on to the iMac. I do have the MBP backing onto a Time Machine and I'm wondering if that could be used to easily transfer the latest backup version to the new computer? How would I do that and would this transfer ALL of the MBP's content or would I still have to install my programs like iWork from the install disks?
    Also, I will be keeping the MBP as a secondary computer, would there be a way to easily connect the two computers so they could synch files wirelessly? I also have one more laptop running Windows7 in the house that I would love to get on the wireless network. Right now we only have it connected to the TimeMachine for internet, but being able to easily share files would be helpful.
    Thanks

  • Currently have house wide wireless network and using external HD (USB) for time machine. HD broken.  would Time capsule work with current routers etc or make them redundant?

    I currently have a large house wide wireless network and I am using a dedicated Buffalo HD with USB for time machine.  The HD has gone bad and can't be repaired. I am thinking of replacing it with a Time Capsule.  Will this fit in with my current routers etc, render them redundent ?   I THOUGHT THAT THE HD I BOUGHT WAS OF GOOD QUAILTY BUT IT HAS BROKEN AFTER 2 YEARS. HOW LONG CAN ONE HOPE FOR A TIME CAPSULE TO LIVE (USING QUALITY SURGE DEVICES ETC) ?  Does one need to backup the backups?
    ALSO: Is ther e any way to back up from Time Machine off site ( mobile me etc) in case the house burns down?

    Steve M. wrote:
    I know I should have redundant backups and should probably have a second external HD and eventually will.
    Yes, that's best.
    But for now, if I partition (I'm assuming I should) a new 1 TB external HD, how big should I make the TM partition vs. the SD partition at this point assuming I have under 100 GB on my internal Mac HD? Is this a feasible way of doing things here in the near term.
    Your best bet is to make your TM partition 2-3 times the size of the amount of data you anticipate backing-up. Put it first on the drive; that way, later on you can delete the partition below it, expand the TM partition, and make a new, smaller partition for SD (or use the whole drive). See #1, #3, #5 and #6 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum, for details.
    By the way, any recommendations on which peripheral HDs to consider? I was very surprised on a recent visit to my local Apple Store that they have a large stock of WD My Studio drives. I mentioned to an Apple sales person that I had always heard WDs were kind of a no-no among Mac users but she assured me the current crop of them were much improved. Any comment on that??
    Most any drive will work with Macs, and Time Machine.
    If you're going to put a "bootable clone" on it, be sure it's a bootable drive. Most PPC Macs can boot only from FireWire; most Intels can boot from F/W or USB. But some Western Digitals won't boot a Mac. Their list of which ones should and +should not+ boot: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?pfaqid=1787. But note the disclaimer that they don't support it +*at all.+*.
    In addition, many of them have a built-in sleep mode that cannot be disabled, and sometimes interferes with Time Machine backups: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?pfaqid=1376

  • Is Airport Express the best way to extend Time Capsule wifi network?

    I have a Time Capsule which I use for wifi as well as backups. I would like to extend its wifi range. Is an Airport Express the best way to do this? Or would an Airport Extreme get better range? Thanks.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    You did not mention whether you are trying to extend using wireless only, but we'l assume that this is the case.
    The AirPort Express and the AirPort Extreme have the same range, so there would be no difference in performance between the two devices.
    If you have a newer dual band Time Capsule, a dual band AirPort Extreme would extend both bands...IF....the AirPort Extreme is positioned where it can receive a strong signal from the Time Capsule. The AirPort Extreme would also provide you with 3 ethernet ports if you needed to connect any ethernet devices.
    The AirPort Express will extend one band, as it is a single band device, but that may be all you need. Since the AirPort Express can plug directly into an AC outlet, it is usually somewhat easier to place the device where it will be needed.
    A good location for an extending device is a point that is about 1/2 to 2/3 the distance from the Time Capsule to the area that will need more wireless coverage, assuming there no major obstructions in the signal path. The idea situation would have the extending device placed where it has close to a line-of-sight relationship with the main router.
    Post back if you need configuration details on the extending device, or if you need more information.
