Bridge/Repeat 802.11N

Is it possible to Bridge AND repeat wireless 802.11N?  WET610N?
I have horribly poor signal in half my hosue but I cant/dont want to move my router from its currently location and a physical cable to a second router isnt feasible.  Ideally I would like to be able to wirelessly bridge to a device but also have that device act as a wireless AP.  Will the WET610N do this?  Or do i need to/can I cable a second WRT310 to the WET610?
thanks
b-

A router after the WET610N: that would be very nice in my situation !! My 310N is  working without any problem on my Panasonic Viera Television. Pictures ans movies on my computer are wireless transmitted to my TV.
I plan to buy an Humax iHDR 5050c,  a decoder and HD-rtecorder in one. The iHDR5050C also has FTP-facilities to communcate between decoder and my computer. So I need a second connection
What CISCO-router would be the best ?  Or is an extra WET610N the best solution ?
(sorry if my English isn't perfect, I live in The Netherlands)

  • Aironet 1252 bridge and 802.11n

    Hi,
    I have two Cisco Aironet 1252  that I want to configure as a point-2-point bridge. Now I want to know if this configuration supports the 802.11n protocol.
    Regards,
    Screech

    Scott,
    I found the following statemen in the release note of IOS 12.4 (25d) (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/ios/release/notes/12_4_25d._JArn.html#wp291685)
    802.11n HT Rates Apply Only to No Encryption or WPA2/AES Encryption
    The 802.11n HT rates apply only to no encryption or WPA2/AES encryption. They do not apply to WEP or WPA encryption. If WEP or TKIP encryption is used, the 1250 series access points and any 802.11n Draft 2.0 clients will not transmit at the HT rates. Legacy rates (802.11a/b/g) will be used for any clients using WEP or TKIP encryption
    Given this statement how do I configure AES encryption on the aironets 1252 that are configured in bridge mode as I do not see this option. If possible please provide steps using the web interface.

    Screech

  • 1250 802.11N series in root/non-root bridge mode

    Using Yagi's, low loss cable, antenna outside, AP inside.
    When operating autonomous 1250 series in root/non-root bridge mode, can I use 802.11N radios? Is it supported?
    Or would it be better to use 1242's? This is for a customer, no time for testing, need rock solid design, in and out configuration...

    @leolaohoo -
    I was just  asking for a definitive answer, weather its affirmative or negative, is there a benefit to using the 1252 over the 1242 giving the cost of each, since as you said the 802.11N can not be used to bridge, than I would say a 1242 is better fit for the AP bridge of 350', clear line of site over the 1252.

  • AEBS 802.11n question about bridging

    using AEBS 802.11n and connecting to an existing network which is using DHCP...
    internet button chosen
    internet connection panel chosen
    connect using : ethernet
    configure ipv4 : using dhcp
    ethernet wan port : automatic (default)
    connection sharing : share a public ip address
    is the AEBS acting as a bridge here? so, now the AEBS can pass out ip addresses that are different (local) network addresses than what the AEBS is receiving from the established network, which it is joining?? the established network 192.168.1 the AEBS DHCP network 10.0.1
    internet button chosen
    internet connection panel
    connect using : ethernet
    configure ipv4 : using dhcp
    ethernet wan port : automatic (default)
    connection sharing : Off (bridge mode)
    or...
    the AEBS is acting as a bridge here? (off (bridge mode)) can the AEBS pass out ip address using a different network address here? and if it does so there will be no NAT functionality?
    what does it mean to have DHCP functionality and no NAT. does using DHCP and no NAT mean that each computer, on the local network connected to the AEBS, that segment, must have a static address?

    In your first configuration, where connection sharing = share a public IP address, the AEBSn is still acting as a wireless router and, effectively, has created a second wireless subnet.
    In the second configuration, where connection sharing = Off (bridge mode), the AEBSn is "passing thru" the NAT/DHCP services from the router it's connected to so any devices connected to the AEBSn will still be on the same network as the upstream router.

  • Airport Express 802.11g as a repeater of Airport Express 802.11n

    I have an Airport network with Airport Extreme 5th generation (802.11n) and it works OK. Also, I have and old Airport Express firmware v6.3 just 802.11g.  I want to enhance the network to achieve places with no coverage but I can not configure it as a repeater.  Aparently all is working, but it is not repeating. 
    The Airport Extreme is configured to allow the expansion of the network. Everything looks OK. Maybe it doesn`t work because the Extreme is 802.11n and  Express is 802.11g.
    To setup the airport express I am using Airport Utility  version 5.6. It doesn't have support with the last version.
    Thanks
    Sandra Perez

    Maybe it doesn`t work because the Extreme is 802.11n and  Express is 802.11g
    Correct. You nailed it.
    The older "b/g" Express does not have a setting to "Extend a wireless network"....which only appears on newer "n" AirPorts.
    You will need a new AirPort Express for that capability. You can keep the older Express and use it for AirTunes or to connect a remote printer.

  • AirPort Extreme 802.11n as a repeater?

    Hi, Gang.
    Here's one for you wireless signal experts...
    I have a great distance to send my wireless signal and I'm pretty sure one Airport Extreme will not do the trick (lots of walls and distance).   
    My question is: Should I buy 2 of them and use one as a repeater?  Can Airport Extreme do this?  If not, is it possible to use one or more Airport Expresses for this purpose?  If so, can I use more than one of them to extend my range?  For example:  Router to Airport Extreme to Airport Extreme.  Or router to Airport Extreme to Airport Express to Airport Express.  
    Are any of these configurations possible?  If not, could someone suggest a good system?
    Thanks very much.
    HV

    But, by "802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station", are you referring to Apple's older version of the Airport Base Station?
    Yes. The even earlier 802.11b models, Graphite & Snow, do not support WDS.
    If you are, I am planning to buy everything new (with the new n protocol), so is my option for extending the wireless range limited to your first option of buying 2 Airport Extreme Base Stations?
    No, you should also be able to use the new 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) as well.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n should I WDS or Extend to Bridge ethernet?

    If I buy two Apple Airport Extreme Base Stations (dual-band 802.11n) can I set-up WDS without dropping speeds to G? I've read that if I have any 802.11b/g clients that the entire WDS clocks down to 802.11g. I'm wondering if that is true with the new simultaneous dual band models? Can't I WDS the 802.11n bands and offer 802.11g simultaneously to clients on the other band without bringing the WDS down? Do I want to?
    I would just "extend" but I don't want to have the wireless clients have to go through two "hops" to get out to the internet. As I understand it... all of my wireless clients would go through the relay, then to the main, then out the Internet instead of just connecting straight to the Main. My range doesn't need to be extended as far as coverage goes... one base station would cover my entire house. I'm basically just looking at the other AEBSn to act as a wireless to ethernet bridge to a part of my house where I several ethernet enabled devices out of hardwire range. Do I need the AEBSn or maybe just the new 802.11n AE?

    Welcome to the discussions!
    +I'm basically just looking at the other AEBSn to act as a wireless to ethernet bridge to a part of my house where I several ethernet enabled devices out of hardwire range. Do I need the AEBSn or maybe just the new 802.11n AE?+
    The simplest, which may also be the best way to do this is use an AEBS as your "main" router and configure an AirPort Express 802.11n to "join" the wireless network and enable the ethernet port. Then connect a simple 5 port switch to the port on the AirPort Express for your ethernet devices.
    Oddly, if you configure a second "remote" AEBS to "join", the ethernet ports +are not+ enabled on the AEBS. The ethernet ports are enabled, if you configure it to "extend a wireless network".

  • Is there any 802.11n wireless bridge or some bridge throughput close to 100M?

    Hi All,
    I'm looking for some enterprise wireless bridge. Is there any cisco 802.11n wireless bridge on the market? or some bridge close to 100Mbps throughput? Thanks.
    Lou

    Hi;
    I'm investigating the exact same thing. After seeing the caveat in the 1250 install guide that said "Don't use it as a bridge!"  (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/1250/installation/guide/125h_c1.html) , I called the Cisco WiFi sales engineer assigned to our region, the brilliant and lovely Ms. K.
    She clarified some items for me.
    802.11n relies on several things for increased speed, two of which are multiple spacial data streams (currently two) and the 40MHz increased channel width. When you do point-point, apparently there is just not as much multipoint benefit. She said we would be lucky to see more than 50 Mbps real throughput on a bridge using 1252s at 100m range. BTW, she said that even though the install guide says the 1252s could not be used in bridge mode, she thought it would work; perhaps the 2007 guide is outdated.
    So, we are going to get some antennas and test this. Will try to report back on the results.
    Regarding Exalt, she did confirm that at present Cisco is re-branding and selling them as OEM and support would be direct through Exalt, not TAC. She would not speculate on looming acqusitions, but did jokingly observe that in the past, all the companies that Cisco absorbed went through an OEM re-sell phase ;p

  • Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter not working on Windows 7 64bit

    As the title suggests, my laptop (Alienware m17x) is installed with the Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter and Windows 7 64bit Home Premium.  I have had several other driver incompatibility issues with Windows 7, but those I have slowly been able to resolve.  This however just cropped up after two months of successful use.  Yesterday it started failing to connect to the internet, telling me that no wireless connections are available.  I live in a dorm, and everyone else on my floor has successful wireless, including my Ipod Touch, PS3 and XBox 360.  I called Alienware/Dell Support and we spent hours trying to fix the problem and all look well until I rebooted my laptop this morning and the same issue reappeared.  When I reboot my laptop, all I get is a notification that no networks appear in range.  If I uninstall the broadcom chip and let windows install it after a boot up it works until the machine is rebooted a second time.  I have tried over a dozen windows 7 drivers for the chip, and about half a dozen vista drivers and they all have the same results, works on the first boot, fails every time after that 

    Just registered to say, on an Alienware M17x system as well running Windows 7 Ultimate, here is a link to a solution that worked exactly for me:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware/436486-guide-properly-solve-wireless-connection-problems-m17x.html
    All I did was section I.a. If the link is down, I copied the only section that I needed to follow out of this guide, in order to get my wireless to work repeatedly without having to uninstall the wireless driver every single reboot. Now it works perfectly,
    already connected to a wireless network on startup.
    I.a. Disable Device sleep on disconnect
    Some newer Nvidia Ethernet drivers have a feature called Device sleep on disconnect. This is the culprit. Normally, it should only put the Ethernet adapter to sleep when the cable is disconnected, but it's buggy and thus kills the wireless connection as
    well.
    Follow these steps to disable this feature on your Nvidia Ethernet Adapter:
    1. Open the Windows Device Manager by hitting Win+Pause, then click on Device Manager on the left side.
    2. Double-click on Network adapters.
    3. Double-click on NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller (yes, that's the wired Ethernet adapter indeed).
    4. Click on the Advanced tab.
    5. Select Device sleep on disconnect.
    6. Set the Value to Disabled. 
    7. Click OK and wireless should work again (might require a reboot afterwards, but probably not).

  • Apple TV refuses 802.11n

    Howdy folks...
    Bad week for Apple products for me. I went through two iPhones and now my Apple TV has decided to downshift! In the middle of watching a movie, the screen went black and came back with "Your iTunes Library is unavailable, make sure *computer name* is on and iTunes is open". I went over to the main computer and sure enough, iTunes was on, open, there were computers showing up in the shared section, but the Apple TV was missing under Devices.
    I'll describe my setup:
    I have a main file server in the house with the master iTunes library, it's the only library Apple TV syncs with. Connected to the server's ethernet port is an Airport Extreme N in bridge mode (one of its LAN ports), also, there is an 802.11 G "UFO" Airport connected to one of the spare LAN ports on the new Airport (this is the primary base station that is connected to my modem). I designed the network this way so that I can get the full 802.11n speed to my 802.11n devices (black MacBook and Apple TV), and other 802.11g devices would have their own portal into my file server. All Macs in the house run OS X 10.4.10 with iTunes 7.3.1 (I'm a freak about versioning)
    I navigated to the Network section of Apple TV's settings where I noticed it was no longer connected to a wireless network, and in fact wouldn't scan or display ANY networks (there are about 25 within range of my apartment that I ALWAYS see), so there was no possibility of me rejoining my network, even manually. I realized the situation was crappier than I thought and would require some hard-resetting and restoring. Here's everything I did:
    Factory reset Apple TV
    Factory reset BOTH Airport Extremes (G & N) and set them up with NO security
    Reinstalled iTunes, re-imported entire library
    Turned Syncing off, then back on (I could only enter the pairing code when joined to 802.11G)
    I discovered that after the restore, the Apple TV's Network utility on first boot would see my base stations! However, it would only join the 802.11G network, it continuously errored out when attempting to join the 802.11 N network (either -6, -3 or 0 as a code, which I couldn't find documentation for). Mind you, my MacBook can join my 802.11 N network with no problems at all, both before and after the factory reset of the base station. After I got the error code, and I went back to try and join my 802.11 G network, all the within-range networks were gone, and the scanning no longer worked as I described above. So I had to factory restore AGAIN. When the Apple TV came back up, I joined my 802.11G network with no issues, the Apple TV popped up in iTunes and began to sync. I cancelled the sync and ran the Software Update to get me to ATV 1.1. When it rebooted, I tried to switch networks and got the same loop of errors - try to join N network, fail, then no networks at all are displayed.
    Does anyone have any further recommendations for troubleshooting, or is the wifi card in my Apple TV fubar? I'd imagine that would be covered under the 1 year warranty, but since I got the Apple TV on launch and more than 90 days has passed, AppleCare refuses to speak to me (an ex Apple employee, a current Apple certified technician, in the Apple Consultants Network, and Apple Store business liaison for small/medium business in the Bay Area....what nerve!) even though I never used my "one phonecall".
    I've been really disappointed with their customer support as I've seen many of you on the boards have been as well, so hopefully we can help each other!

    I know it's a lot of work, but you could try setting up your network and tv again, using entirely different criteria, ie new network names, device names and passwords. I'm not guaranteeing success, but I have seen networking devices behave as though they remembered passwords and names after a reset and have conflicted with a new set up using the same passwords/names etc.

  • Adding 802.11b/g AX(s) to multi-Airport Extreme 802.11n roaming network

    First, a thanks to folks like Tesserax and Bob for the great ideas on this forum -- the questions & answers I've read have helped me to date, though I still have a question!
    My home wireless network today consists of:
    One fifth-generation AEBS running in 802.11n only (5 GHz) / 802.11n only (2.4 GHz) mode, on channels 149 (automatic)/11 (automatic) -- provides DHCP services
    One second-generation AEBS running in 802.11n only (5 GHz) mode, on channel 157 (automatic) -- bridge mode
    There is a wired home network with Cat5e and a gigabit switch in the basement.  30 down/5 up DOCSIS 3.0 service through Time Warner Cable, upstream from the fifth-gen AEBS.  The AEBS units are connected in roaming mode via Ethernet.
    Using the Airport Utility on my iOS devices, I'm getting "excellent" (59-65 Mb/s) connectivity when I am near either of the AEBS units.  It is a large brick house built in the 1920s, and while there are now no dead zones in the house, there are areas where I drop down to 10-15 Mb/s per the Airport Utility.  Unfortunately, the two AEBSs are at opposite ends of the house near external walls, one on first floor and one on second -- and the first floor rear AEBS needs to be where it is to serve a breakfast room and sunroom, while the home office AEBS needs to be where I have two Ethernet drops as the cable modem and switch are in the basement.
    Before I added the fifth-gen AEBS, I had the older AEBS and two 802.11b/g Airport Express (AX) devices, also in roaming mode.  I wasn't thrilled with performance, and while performance is much better with the two AEBS model, I'm wondering about the benefits of redeploying my AX devices elsewhere in the house on the roaming network -- on the theory that I should be getting better 802.11g performance from a device close enough to get max speeds than I am from a farther-away 802.11n AEBS.
    However, I am concerned about whether adding back in 802.11b/g devices on 2.4 GHz would restrict the performance of my 802.11n network?  I am assuming that might happen because I have 802.11n running on both frequencies... if I stepped back on the fifth-gen AEBS to 802.11n only (5 GHz) / 802.11b/g  [or a similar setting] on that device, will that help?  Or, am I running the risk of other cross-talk or interference -- or simply of my home network devices being befuddled by multiple access points in a single house?
    Alternatively, I could try to replace my 802.11b/g AX units with 802.11n ones -- howeever, having just bought a new AEBS this week, that would encounter cross-talk with my Spousal Budgetary Compliance Unit (SBCU) and I could end up crashing the entire household....
    Thoughts and ideas appreciated!

    If you use the "b/g" AirPort Express devices in a roaming setup, any computers, iPads, etc in close proximity will connect at maximum "g" wireless speeds.
    It's really not possible to predict the actual results in advance. The increased wireless coverage might tend to compensate for the lower speeds that would naturally occur due to signal drop off if you did not use the AirPort Express devices at all.
    As long as the wireless access points are in a separate room, or separated by 25-30 feet or so from other access points, there should be no confusion that occurs with your laptop trying to connect. It will pick the strongest signal as it moves through the house.
    I think the bottom line here is that this is one of those things where you just will not know unless you try. If the Ethernet cabling is already in place, it should not take long for you to find out how things are working.

  • Manual Static LAN IP address for 802.11n Base Station when using PPPoE

    We have a network of about 75 machines. We want to replace our main router with the new Airport Extreme 802.11n base station. WAN connection is PPPoE so we'd use the NAT function. All IP addresses of our machines on the LAN are statically assigned.
    Problem is our machines are assigned to find the router at a specific address: 192.168.0.254. The default base station IP in that subnet is 192.168.0.1. Is there any way to change the IP of the base station to 192.168.0.254 from the default of 192.168.0.1? We can do it if we have it join our existing LAN in bridge mode, but we want it to provide the main NAT functions AND connect to our ISP's PPPoE server WITHOUT having to change all our LAN devices to find it at 192.168.0.1. Possible?

    The HH will only show devices which use DHCP in the list of devices, unless you've set the device to use a static IP in the HH Home Network page.  It's a bit of a silly idea and IMO the software on the router is terrible, but you do it like this...
    - Set the printer to use DHCP to get an IP address.
    - Log in to the HomeHub 5 and browse to the Home Network page (http://192.168.1.254/index.cgi?active_page=9130)
    - Find the printer in the list of devices and click on it.
    - Click on 'Yes' next to the "Always use this IP address" option.
    - Set the IP address on the printer statically and update your devices to use the new IP address of the printer (if it changed from what it was before).
    That will ensure that the DHCP server in the HH5 doesn't lease the same IP to another device.  This will also allow you to see the printer in the list of devices.

  • Does 802.11n give a speed boost on the iPad?

    I did some testing to see if I'd get a speed boost by enabling 802.11n on my Belkin F5D8233-4 router, which supports 802.11n draft specification. I have Verizon FIOS with 25Mbps download/upload. I also have the Verizon router, which only supports 802.11b/g, and I can switch which router I'm connected to in order to compare speeds of 802.11n and 802.11g. All tests were done less than 3 feet from either router.
    Bottom line is that the iPad doesn't get any speed boost by using 802.11n, at least by using speedtest.net to do the testing.
    The test I used was with the speedtest app for the iPhone. I made the Belkin a pure 11n router, and ran that app from the iPad. So the connection had to be 802.11n. Then I connected the iPad to my Verizon router, which had to be 802.11g, and saw virtually no difference.
    I did the same test with a Windows laptop from my job that supports 802.11n. It connected locally to the Belkin router at 72Mbps according to the internal utility. Testing using speedtest.net indicated that using the 802.11n connection on the Belkin was 50% faster than the 802.11g connection on the Verizon router. (About 30Mbps for Belkin/802.11n compared to 20Mbps for Verizon/802.11g for downloads).
    But with the iPad, doing the same test (switching from Belkin router to Verizon router), the speed didn't change. It actually seemed a little slower when I was on 802.11n, but repeated tests showed some variability, and the average was about 19Mbps.
    I realize that the overall speed for the iPad when I'm in my house will get throttled by the FIOS connection max of 25Mbps (although it's interesting that with my MacMini, and the Windows laptop, when connected via 100baseT, I get 30Mbps from FIOS when they promise 25Mbps!). But I can't get the good results from the iPad using 802.11n that I see with the Windows laptop. I'd like to try a local speedtest using the local LAN. I installed Speedtest MINI on the MacMini, enabling the Mac as a server, and the Windows laptop did 72Mbps on the local LAN. But Speedtest MINI requires Flash in the browser, so I can't do that test on the iPad. And the Speedtest app for iPhone doesn't let you pick a local URL for the server.
    So I'm now pretty sure that 802.11n isn't really working right on the iPad with my Belkin router, in terms of delivering increased performance. I've read other posts where people have looked at the transmit rate from the router side, but I really wish I could look at the transmit rate from the iPad (like I do in Mac OS X, or in Windows) to verify.
    To be sure, I'd like to run a speedtest on my local LAN from the iPad. Has anyone been able to actually do some kind of test that verifies the speed of an iPad connection on a local LAN, and does that verification from the iPad, and not the router?
    And finally, has anyone ever done a test that verifies that 802.11n from an iPad delivers a speed boost compared to 802.11g? Are there specific requirements on the router side that need to be satisfied so that the iPad gets a boost? I've read elsewhere where someone said that you only get the boost if using Apple's Airport Extreme as the router (so that you can't really get 802.11n on a non-Apple router), and I think I saw someone say that the router has to support communication over 5.0Ghz for the iPad to be fast on 802.11n. Has Apple ever said what are the real requirements for the iPad to be faster on 802.11n versus 802.11g?

    To the contrary, my experience is that the "G" standard on WiFi provided MUCH faster speeds than the "N" standard on Wi-Fi.  It makes no sense, I know, but it is true.
    I was having horribly slow Wi-Fi speeds on my iPad2, despite a fast cable modem connection and a "N" generation Linksys wireless router (maybe 2-3 yrs old).  Was achieving speeds of only 1.3Mbs -- slow enough that you couldn't watch YouTube videos.  From hunting around on the web, I came across the suggestion to manually set the Wi-Fi router to the "G" standard (ie downgrade it from the faster "N" standard).  Remarkably, I did it and it worked like a charm.  I now get Wi-Fi speeds of about 12 or 13 Mbs, or 10x what I was getting before.  It is an easy fix.  And also I think the "G" standard is capable of 50Mbs so even though it is a slower and older standard, it is still way faster than anything you are likely to achieve as a home user.   I think there is some glitch or oddity in the iPad and iPad2 which can cause it to perform very poorly with older "N" standard WiFi routers.  New ones don't seem to have a problem.

  • 802.11n (5Ghz) / UK / Performance

    Hi,
    I have an Airport Extreme upstairs and 2 x Airport Expresses downstairs (one is extending the network, the other is an ethernet bridge).
    When I try and setup the extreme as 802.11n (5GHz only) I get dreadful coverage to downstairs (my MacBook and Expresses can't see it at all). I can connect in the same room via my MacBook but that's about it. With b/g compatibility all is fine again but I really want to boost my internet speed to the lounge where the expresses reside (by boosting the household wireless overall).
    I saw old posts about changing country so you can use wide channels etc ... and I've tried some other country settings but the same problem with coverage. Is this a UK restriction - the lack of wide channels means a lack of coverage / performance under 802.11n only?
    Thanks in advance for any advice ...

    Higher frequency 5 GHz signals are absorbed by any obstructions, walls, etc much more quickly than 2.4 GHz signals. You really almost need line-of-sight between the computer and AirPort Extreme because the 5 GHz signals have much less penetration and distance power.

  • Apple TV and Time Capsule 802.11n -- idle timeout and group key stuff...

    I've been having some wireless issues since moving to a Time Capsule to provide my 802.11n service.
    I have my time capsule setup as an 802.11n only router, on a 5 ghz band only, with WPA2 security (AES-CCMP.) My reception is great -- but I've noticed in the logs that there's an idle disconnect that seems to occur about every 10 minutes.
    What seems to be happening is that when the idle disconnect occurs, the AppleTV renews its connection. The problem, at least 90% of the time, is that if the "group key timeout" value in the Airport Admin Utility has been passed AND the idle timeout occurs, the unit appears to be unable to connect to the network unless you reboot OR reenter the network password.
    The Time Capsule is setup strictly from a networking standpoint as a wireless bridge -- I have an existing network DHCP server, and during the disconnects, a DHCP renewal is not occurring.
    Another observation when this issue is occurring: on the "Network" settings page, instead of selecting wireless network, you can select TCP/IP, and select "DHCP" and the unit will state that it has successfully connected to the network, and states the network name. The Time Capsule though doesn't show an active client; I have to assume this is some sort of bug.
    Since the unit works fine after a reboot, I have to assume something isn't quite right with the way it is attempting to reconnect to grab an update group key after an idle timeout occurs.
    I'd like to test this further, but I can't find anyway in the Airport Admin Utility to change the idle timeout value. There's a place to enter the group key timeout, but not the idle timeout.
    Has anyone else noticed this behavior and found a way around it?

    Just one more follow-up post to say that I continue to have the same problem. (Just picked up my TC and aTV on Tuesday and didn't get a chance to do too much with it until this weekend.
    I have the TC running in bridge mode to my FIOS Actiontec router. The Actiontec does DHCP for the home network (has to because of paculiarities with FIOS on MOCA with a cable TV set-top box) and runs an 802.11 g network for all my non-N hardware (iPhone, older computers, etc.). The TC runs 5 GHz N-only, and the aTV connects to that. I set things up this way because I wanted to keep the aTV and my N-capable computers on a dedicated wireless channel for speed.
    Alas, I'm afraid I'm going to have to use the aTV on the G network, or perhaps ethernet, until this problem gets sorted out.
