Can Wireless bridge be a transport bridge for another WLAN?

Can I setup a bridge as a transport bridge between two bridges as following?
LAN1---B1---B2---B3---LAN2
______________\B4---LAN3
How should I setup for root and non-root in this case?
Can I do aggregation if I have 2 bridges in location 1 and 2 for redundancy?

Instead of using the "Assist Me" mode, you will want to use the "Manual Setup" mode to configure both AirPorts for an extended wireless network.
Dynamic WDS - Extending a Wireless Network Setup
If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
Open AirPort Utility, and then, select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then, click Wireless.
Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
Enter the base station network and base station password if necessary.
Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

  • 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).

  • Wireless Bridge for gaming

    I am using an Airport Express to create a wireless network in my home, with WPA/WPA2 encryption.
    I would like to buy a wireless bridge so I can connect to the internet on my Playstation 2 and play games.
    Does anyone know of a good wireless bridge for this purpose? One that can be used with WPA/WPA2 encryption.

    What is your router brand?
    I believe some router can be tweak using its web based interface to dedicated bandwidth for gaming.
    Are you using wireless for gaming, maybe if you step up to N protocol, it might help you too. But you have to get wireleen N router and have macbook that capable with wireless N protocol.
    If you using wired online gaming, consider one with gigabit port.
    Good Luck

  • Can I use a WRT54GX2 as wireless bridge for my Blue Ray to an E1000 wireless router?

    I recently replaced my WRT54GX2 router with an E1000 for networking in my home.  I now have a Blu-Ray disk player, and thought I may be able to use the old WRT54GX2 to wirelessly bridge a network connection for the Blu-Ray.  I am having trouble fignuring out how to configure it, if possible at all.  Any help would be appreciated

    A WRT and a E1000 are wireless routers, i.e. router with an integrated wireless access points. They accept client connections. They don't connect to other access points. They always require a wired connection to your main network.
    Running a wire is the best solution anyway, in particular for video streaming and similar.

  • Wireless bridge for older emac

    Hi. I have had my emac for more than four years. He still runs wonderfully, despite some raster shift issues.
    I've been reading through the info on the wireless bridge in the discussion boards, and I was wondering if anyone with a computer like mine has tried the Netgear MA111 802.11b Wireless USB Adapter. If so, what has your experience been? I have an ethernet cord, and I would prefer a cheaper solution than tracking down a discontinued apple wireless card if I can.
    Thank you so much for your help.

    I'm not sure if I should post here or start a new post, but are you trying to connect wireless via your ethernet port and what is "some raster shift issues"? The reason for my asking is that I have tried to connect using a USB/ethernet adapter and it didn't work. I have to sometimes jiggle my ethernet cable to reconnect to my router.

  • Using the Mac as a wireless Bridge for the Xbox 360

    Want to use your Mac essentially as a wireless adapter for an Xbox 360 or any console? plug in the ethernet cable between the two devices and follow the setup process!
    Wireless Bridge setup process
    1. Open system Preferences.
    2. Clisk sharing, then the internet tab and select Airport as the “share your connection from” then select the Built-in Ethernet in the list.
    3. Open up the terminal Application and type ifconfig en0 in the window it sohuld display an outcome like this
    ifconfig en0
    en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
    inet 192.168.2.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255
    ether 00:16:cb:cc:80:aa
    media: autoselect status: inactive
    supported media: autoselect 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,flow-control> 100baseTX <half-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 100baseTX <full-duplex,flow-control> 1000baseT <full-duplex> 1000baseT <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 1000baseT <full-duplex,flow-control> none
    4. This gives you the information of what your computer’s IP address is. On the xbox dashboard in the network setup screen select manual and select the top section which contains the IP address, subnet mask, and Gateway address, for the IP address, input the Highlighted section above plus one, so its 192.168.2.1 (this is for standard configurations, again, just add one to the last digit of your IP address.
    5. Open Airport Admin Utility, the select configure on your airport. Then select the Internet tab This will give you your subnet Mask, input accordingly.
    6. For the Gateway address, you are going to put in the value in the blue box. This is because you are using your Computer as a gateway, therefor you need to tap into its connection.
    So For the Average setup you will use:
    IP Address: 192.168.2.2
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Gateway Address: 192.168.2.1
    7. Now for the DNS server, this varies according to What internet service you have, but, Airport admin utility provides the answer, right below the information we used above, you will see DNS Server. viola! Put that in as your primary DNS server in the second box of edit options in the network menu.
    Now you should be complete, test the connection and you should be Ready to Go!! Happy Gaming!

    Welcome to the discussions, DanSwiggsD!
    If you have a non-Apple device as your main router, unfortunately the AirPort Extreme has almost no chance of compatibility with your main router.
    If you do have an Apple router as your main device, please post back with your model number and we'll let you know how your devices should be configured.
    If you don't have an Apple device as your main router you have a few options to connect the xbox:
    1) A pair of ethernet powerline adapters could be used if you did not want to run a regular ethernet cable from your main router to the xbox.
    2) The new AirPort Express 802.11n model does have a feature called Proxy STA which should allow it to receive a wireless signal from any wireless router and allow the ethernet port to be enabled.

  • Can I exchange a new MPA 11" for another model in 14 days?

    I have bought a new MPA 11" 2 days ago, and I changed my mind because I think I need a more powerful laptop like the MBP 13" which are actually at the sam price. There is no IR port and I cannot use a remote control for a presentation, that was the thing that dissapointed me the most.
    So, besides that I have used the software, If I restore the settings and get it back in its package, can I exchange it within the next few days??

    Thank you very much for replying.
    So, I can just replace it without any technical reason? Because I read at the return policy that If you use the software you cannot get a refund but only exchange it with the same item? And by the way how can I restore everything?

  • Can one PPC Mac run Disk Utility for another's HD?

    I have a PPC PowerBook that needs help. The Admin users are getting corrupted for some reason. I can still use other Users in Safe Mode.
    I have another good PPC G3 desktop. Both running 10.5.8.
    I can mount the bad HD on the good Mac's desktop but I can't run Disk Utility for it.
    I've mounted with Ethernet and USB. Do I need Firewire? Do I need do try to use Target Mode?
    Basically, I'm trying to use the good Mac as a startup disk for the bad one, I think.
    Easy way? Thanks! JP
    ps: My hunch is Firewire. I don't have any so I'm going to buy a cable soon. Unless someone here stops me! : )

    Yes, you need Target Mode Firewire on both, a FW cable, then Disk Utility should be fine from one to the other.
    Target mode...

    Sometimes Laptops need to have the FW cable unplugged & replugged after they'e in t mode to have it finally show up.

  • Can I set up a startup disk for another computer?

    My mom has an iMac and apparently the internal disk has failed. Starts up with the disk and question mark, and running the Disk Utility can't access or format it.
    I was going to get an external disk for her to use as a startup disk and was wondering if I can set it up from my computer then send it to her to use with hers. I have an iBook G4 and it would be much easier for me to connect the new drive to my computer, install Mac OS X on it, set up accounts, then install updates. I have DSL and she has dialup, so downloading updates on her system literally takes all night.
    I guess I'm wondering if the installer gears the system to work with the hardware it's being run on, or if it doesn't really matter.
    Thanks for any input.
    Dan

    Dan:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    If your Mom's computer supports Firewire, and meets the minimum system requirements for Tiger or the minimum system requirements for Panther depending on which system you plan to install, it should be fine. In terms of the legality, I am not sure if having the system installed on an external HDD runs afoul of the Software License Agreement which statesThis License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single computer at a time. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time...On the other hand if you Mom has the install disk and just can't get it on the internal HDD, there should be no problem.
    Please don't hesitate to post back with further questions.
    Good luck.

  • Can't download one song - billed twice for another

    I share others complaints that it's hard to get help. Amazon's customer service is much better. If you have mp3 download problem, you can talk to somebody (albeit in India) live.
    I'm only out 2 bucks, but it's the principal. They supplied the songs (other songs were involved) a second time. One still screwed up and there's no path to fix it. Another I had purchased separately (out of frustration) of my own volition, but it's the same song twice - charged twice. That needs to be a credit, not another download which they offered.
    Thoughts on contacting?

    First try:
    Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
    Next contact iTunes

  • 3502p AccessPoint support MESH and Point-to-Point Wireless Bridging with Outdoor Antennas??

    I need to know if 3502p with outdoor antennas supports Point-to-Point Wireless Bridging??

    The 3502p is only used for arenas and or stadiums. These are different units than the 3500's and 3600's. So no they can't be.
    You can use Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge for a wireless link between two buildings (1km) to extend your LAN. For more detail you can go through the below link.

    For this case, do you have what method for failover solution.
    when GB C AP Link is down, data traffic can change to GB D Link to route.
    Is it idea possible?
    Thanks

    Hi John,
    See whether below post helps you, where I have posted a sample configuration for load balance traffic across two wireless bridge links.
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/4125800#4125800
    I doubted you can configure etherchannel across two wireless bridge links. If you configure two independant bridges & pass same vlans then one end switch ports will be get blocked by STP.

  • Airport Express as a wireless bridge

    I can buy an airport express relatively cheaply (£20) and was wondering if it can solve an issue I have. I have a Toshiba HD-XE1 HD-DVD player which has an ethernet port use for upgrades etc. I have a (non-apple) wireless network 802.11a/g using wep security. So my question is whether I can use the airport express to provide a wireless bridge for the HD-XE1 and if so how?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello foxyloxy. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    You could connect the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the existing wireless router. In turn, the AX would be reconfigured as a bridge to allow the existing wireless router to continue to provide NAT/DHCP services for the entire network.
    To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a bridge, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility (located in the \Applications\Utilities folder), make these settings:
    Network tab
    o Distribute IP addresses (unchecked)
    o Apply the new setting.
