Cisco Ap1242 with Linksys Wet54g ethernet bridge

Hi to all!
Can i use any ascii key as wpa2-psk?
When i try to use some ascii keys the linksys bridge does not authenticate with the Ap. Reading the Ap log it says "authentication failed".
What could it be the problem? (they both have the same PSK (ascii)).
Why's that?
Is there any incompatibility with some ascii characters between this two devices?
e.g. [email protected]#793mFj#,sd@com
Thanks in advance

I think that is not a configuration problem. Without any security policy (wep, wpa) i can connect to the Ap.
Anyway, if i put a simple key (for example: 12345678) i can connecto to the ap. The problem is when i configure the psk with some ascii characters (for example: @#).
thanks for your help.

Web-based utility will not load on new wet54g ethernet bridge

I just got a WET54g ethernet bridge to connect my bluray player to my existing network (wrt54gs router). I cannot get the setup cd to recognize the bridge connected to the laptop or the router. I thought that it would be no problem, just use web-based set-up. When attempting to access 192.168.1.226 I have to enter the password three times and then a blank page is loaded. Chat support ended up getting disconnected, so no luck there. Supposedly some of the steps chat wallked me through updated the firmware through ftp download, but I feel like nothing was done since you can't access the set-up page. Any suggestions are welcome. I'm running vista if that helps.

Start it from Scratch...Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your WET54G(ethernet bridge), wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your WET54G(ethernet bridge)...Follow the link here to re-configure the WET54G(ethernet bridge)...Also under the configuration type select Static IP Address : For IP Address enter : 192.168.1.226, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 and save the settings...
After doing these you can unplug the Ethernet Bridge from the router and power cycle your router and the ethernet bridge both...Connect your ethernet bridge to your bluray player and test for active connection...

Cisco 1720 WIC-T1 to Ethernet Bridge

I have a 1720 with a WIC (T1) Serial0 interface and a FastEthernet0 Interface currently performing NAT and routing several public IP's to internal servers.
I need to know how to properly setup a full bridge between the ISP (T1) and the Ethernet interface. I am putting a different router/firewall behind the Cisco and would like the new router to see the WAN gateway and IP block as if it were directly connected.
Any help would be much apprecitated.

It has been a while since I configured IRB and I do not have any sample code where I can put my hands on it. But here are some links which should get you started:

Cisco 3030 with Linksys BEFVP41 VPN

I have 3030 concentrator, currently iam using Cisco 806 router for site to site tunnel and its working fine. is it possible to use BEFVP41 linksys box to configure tunnel? If yes, can i have more details?

Though I haven't worked on the same myself, the answer is yes, it is possible. The reason for that is that IPSec is an open standard and supported by both the boxes in question. Some minor issue do crop up such as the system message "Failure during phase 1 rekeying attempt due to collision" followed by a quick disconnect and reconnect of the tunnel. Even these issues can be sorted out using simple steps such as setting the rekeying interval. You'll need to be careful about these issues.

Linksys WET54G problem

Hi,
I have a problem with my Linksys WET54G ethernet bridge.
Every time I set it up and then try and use it I don't get a connection.
This is my setup
iMac Snow G3 600MHz running OSX 10.2.8 connected via ethernet to
Linksys WET54G ethernet bridge which connects to
BT Voyager 2091 wireless modem router.
I can set the network connection preferences so I can get to the Linksys WET54G setup page and can see my wireless network.
When I close that browser and then change the network connection preferences to set the IP address using DHCP then I can't connect.
The Mac keeps assigning itself an IP address.
The WET54G does work OK - I'm writing this using a Win2000 PC connected to it.
Why does the iMac assign itself an IP address instead of using one from the modem/router?
Any help appreciated.
Regards
Jeremy Young

Hi,
Well here I am replying to my own post, just in case it help someone else in the future
I did get this combo to work:
I used a static IP address in the WET54 - something like 192.168.1.60
Then I use a static IP address in the Mac - something like 192.168.1.65
I also added the router IP address as the gateway - 192.168.1.1
And finally I added the DNS server from my router - I found this by going to the router setup and selecting manual DNS - and copying the numbers there.
Now everything is OK and I can surf without wires!

Mesh with Ethernet Bridging

Hi all,
I'm running a 2106 with version 6.0.196.0. I'm running a couple indoor 1131s on it for regular client access successfully, but my problem is with trying to Ethernet Bridge Wireless Mesh two 1522s. I have placed the 1522 MAC addresses in the MAC Filter. I have Ethernet Bridging radio set on both the RAP and the MAP. I have the RAP and MAP connecting(They see each other as AWAPP neighbors, I can ping the MAP from the wired LAN, and it registers to the WLC, but I can't seem to bridge through these APs. I tried setting the Switchport attached to the RAP as an access port were the WLC and other APs sit as well as tried trunking it, making that same WLC vlan the native vlan. I also tried creating a separate AP group for the 1522s...no joy. Can anyone point me in the right direction on this?

Indoor WLAN and outdoor mesh is not supported on the same WLC at the same time.
So you cannot mix 1131s and 1522s on the same controller.

Setting up router with ethernet bridge

I have a new computer and want to re-setup my Linksys Model BEFSX41 Version 2 broadband firewall router with the Linksys Model WET11 wireless-b ethernet bridge to use my laptop wirelessly. I don't want the desktop pc to be wireless, just the laptop. Do I follow the steps in the FAQ "Hos do I setup my Cable modem with my Linksys Router?". Then are there more instructions for the ethernet bridge?
The pc is in the basement with the cable modem and Linksys router. The ethernet bridge is upstairs where the laptop is. Is this easy enough do to, or am I better off paying $75 to a computer tech to come to my house to do it?
Thank you for any suggestions.
Diane

You cannot do the job that you described with the equipment that you listed.
It is not clear from your note how you intend to use the WET11. A wireless bridge is designed to receive a wireless signal (from a wireless router) and send it to a computer that is wired to the WET11.
For example, the following setup would work:
modem -- wireless router )))      ((( Wet11 -- computer
but you never mentioned that you have a wireless router.
Note that your WET11 cannot broadcast a network, for example, the following DOES NOT work:
modem -- BEFSX41 -- WET11 )))      ((( wireless computer
However, instead of (incorrectly) trying to use the WET11 to broadcast a network, you could use a WAP (wireless access point) to broadcast your network.   For example, the following would work:
modem--BEFSX41--WAP )))   ((( wireless computer
                                  and/or   ((( WET11--wired computer
For a WAP, you could use a WAP54G or a WAP200.
Hope this helps.

WRT610N v2- Which Ethernet Bridge to buy to go with it for LG BD370 BluRay player?

I have a WRT610N v2 router, which I LOVE. I need an ethernet bridge (to connect a LG BD370) Blu-Ray DVD player. I've spoken with Linksys tech support & I'm sad to say, got misinformed. I'd actually ordered a PLS300 (which I cancelled) when I found out there weren't any updates for it. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
The tech support person first told me I needed a WET610N & then changed her mind.
The WRT610N is located in the office about 15 yards from where I need to connect the ethernet support to the entertainment system. I also have a wireless printer (Lexmark Platinum PRO905 that is about 5 feet from the LG Blu ray player. Is the ethernet bridge going to interfere with the Blu ray player?
I'm just wanting to get connected to NetFlix. I've paid for this service since last spring but am just now getting around to sorting this out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA

Thanks, Gollum! I've now got the WET610N ordered & the EZXS55W ethernet switch. They both should be here by Friday.
The WRT610N router is in my office, hardwired to the HughesNet modem & HP Desktop running Windows XP Pro. The two new laptops (HP dv7-3078nr and HP dv8t-1000 (both running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit)) and the Lexmark Platinum Pro905 AIO are in my den (about 30 feet away). Right now, the dv8 (my main laptop I keep on continuosly & the Lexmark Pro905 are both here in the den, connected wirelessly to the WRT610N.
Here is the configuration of the entertainment system:
LG 50PS60 Plasma HDTV
LG LHT854 Surround Sound
LG ACC97WK-R Wireless Rear Speaker
LG BD370 BluRay DVD Player
I have DISH network with a 722K DVR
Do I need to connect the WET610N first? Then add the bridge? This is where I am afraid I am going to mess up.
Right now, everything is working GREAT.
Do you think I need to hardwire the Lexmark printer into the switch?
Could someone please advise (in very simple steps) what I need to do to get the WET610N & ethernet bridge connected?
All I want to do is be able to download NetFlix movies! I am scared that the (((HughesNet))) is going to be the problem due to their low FAP cap. Due to my location (I am 25 miles from the closest town with wireless (Verizon, Sprint, etc) offices & have already tried 3 different wireless cards here (none of which worked due to our location).
I'm beginning to think it would have been simpler to just buy the LG BD390 (wifi already installed) & put my BD370 on eBay! LOL
Any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA

WLC 2125 with 2x 1520 Mesh Points - Ethernet Bridging

Hi - I'm looking for assistance with a new Mesh set up we are deploying, the solutions consists of:
1x Wireless LAN Controller 2125
2x 1520 AP/Mesh Points
What we are trying to achieve is to bridge two networks together, I have followed the Cisco configuration guide and I simply can't get the traffic to cross from one side to the other. The WLC can see both 1520's on either side of the mesh network and I appear to have set it up right.
Here is how everything is set up:
- Local network (Class B, 10.0.0.0/16) connected to Port 1 on the WLC.
- 1520 is connected to Port 2 on the WLC via g0/0 with an IP address of 10.0.3.110 (management network, 10.0.3.111 for the wlan-management network) - this is set up as the RootAP, with ethernet bridging enabled and the bridging group set to rsqmesh.
- 2nd 1520 is around 800ft away set up as a MeshAP with ethernet bridging enabled and the bridging group set to rsqmesh. Small 5-port switch (non-cisco) connect to g0/0 on this 1520 with a device attached which has the IP of 10.0.3.37.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig.

Bridging will not work if the RAP is directly connected to the controller. But CSCsk15792 is filed on this issue. If you put a switch between the controller and RAP traffic should start flowing.

Want to use linksys wrt300n as a ethernet bridge while the router is a time capsule.

The time capsule is connect to my modem and my wrt300 is downstairs. What I want to do I use my time capsule a my router and the wrt300 as my ethernet bridge. How do I set my wrt recieve the single from my time capsule. The wrt300. Is running dd-wrt firmware. The reason I want to do this is that I have a slingbox and it needs to be connected by Ethernet. By using the wrt as a Ethernet bridge it should work. I just need to know how.

All sounds good.. tend to use the older dd-wrt firmware to do this.. 2.4 linux kernel is far more successful than later 2.6 versions of dd-wrt.
You must manually setup wireless.. plainly only 2.4ghz is going to work.
So jump into the airport utility manual setup.. and go to the wireless page.
Depending on how old your TC is, setup a wireless name.. no spaces no special characters.. very short also is just as useful as very long. tc24 will do nicely.. Change the name of the 5ghz if it is later model to something also similarly simple.. tc5 might be nice. Call the TC a nice name again no spaces.. which it will have by default.. no special characters pure alphanumeric. TC is nice simple name.. Hard to forget really.
Set manual channels for the 2.4ghz.. this is utterly important.. repeater or bridge does not work with auto bouncing all around the place. Choose a suitable channel out of 1, 6, 11.
5ghz won't matter so you can leave that on auto if you want.
Lastly security..
Let me suggest to start leave security off. Get it setup so you know it works then come back and test the security levels.
I am not sure what to select here.. you want wpa but the dd-wrt says not wpa+wpa2..and apple do not offer straight wpa as the bridge cannot resolve which to use.. you might need to use wpa2.. but that doesn't work on some routers with repeater.. or bridge.. you are going to have a bit of trial and error here.
Make the password something nice.. you guessed it pure alphanumeric.. no spaces, no special characters.
be creative and simple.. tc24passkeynot5 .. of course use what you like.. I am giving examples to make it easier. Update the TC.
Now just do the bridge setup on the WRT300.. there are two kinds of bridge.. client bridge and wireless bridge.. there is also repeater. Client bridge has no routing .. that is what you want. But it does other things which may make you go back. Please note bridges are strange beasts.. this is going to hide clients behind the Linksys MAC address.. and it can lead to issues.
Anyway read the setup tutorial. http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Client_Bridged
You will find earlier one if you use the index.. this is also useful to read. And is more extensive.
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Bridge
There are several scattered around and I can point you to others.
When you are finished you will often need to reboot both boxes to get the bridge to establish.
Once you are done. See how it goes..
I tend to advise people that wireless bridges are flakey and will do down at the moment you want them to work. You can get EOP adapters which tend to be more reliable and use the WRT300n in wan bypass as a switch and WAP.. This is much more reliable.

Mesh Ethernet Bridging with VLAN Tagging Issue

Hi all.
I'm a little stuck with a 4400 7.0.220.0 + RAP 1550 + MAP 1260 Ethernet bridging issue. I'm using the VLAN tagging functionality and I'm finding that periodically a VLAN that I've tagged on the MAP will deregister from the backhaul and stop passing traffic. If I go into the Mesh tab on the MAP, select the wired interface, remove the VLAN from the list of tagged VLAN IDs and then add it right back to the list, its starts passing traffic again.
Has anyone else seen this? I can't find any relevant bugs.
Justin

Hi Saravanan,
It is one RAP and three MAPs. After a TAC call and 30 hours of monitoring, my VLANs have remained registered. I think the issue was mismatched VLANs to bridge groups an it looks like the mesh bridge may be stable for now. Here is what I was seeing on the RAP and MAPs when the VLANs were deregistering unexpectedly. Notice how VLANs 2 and 10 are mapped to opposite bridge groups on the RAP and MAP:
After I removed all the VLAN IDs from the Trunk configuration on the MAPs (through each AP's Mesh tab -- Ethernet Bridging config) and then rebuilt the VLAN IDs, I ran the same commands and now see this:
My very unscientific theory here is that the mismatching was causing consistency checks to fail, so the RAP was just tearing down the registrations after getting bogus or non- responses from the MAPs during the periodic VLAN registration maintenance checks (debug mesh ethernet registration).
If I have continued issues, I'll post back with updates.
Thanks for the response!

Local RADIUS in AP1242 with non-cisco WinXP wireless clients

I'd like to configure local RADIUS in AP1242 and connect non-cisco WinXP wireless clients (for example notebook with integrated radio) with it. I did configuration (config1.txt) like in instruction: http://cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps4570/products_configuration_example09186a00801c0912.shtml
But I can't connect non-cisco WinXP wireless client with AP1242 anyway. At once Cisco wireless client with Aironet Desktop Utility connects with it without any problem. I've done some other configuration (config2.txt), but with the same result. Second configuration is rather then first.
How can I connect non-cisco WinXP wireless clients with AP1242 with local RADIUS?

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for the quick reply. Below is the switchport config. I am able to ping the AP from the switch and connect to its web page from any workstations.
interface GigabitEthernet0/5
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 151
switchport mode trunk

I'm looking for some help connecting linksys IP Cameras to my home network to monitor my property when I'm travelling. I used to do this with linksys WAPS, but since I've discarded all my old linksys networking and standardized on airport, I can't get these things working. I know that I have to identify my camera through the DHCP table and set up port forwarding and there is the problem.
My network consists of 4 base stations set up in a roaming network - same network name and passwords. I need to do it this way so I don't have to switch network when I move from one side of the house to the other, go to the cabana, or my shop in the barn. The network works pretty well since I went to a roaming set up. Good performance, yata, yata, yata.
However, the roaming network requires the AEBS's to be set up in bridge mode, rather than sharing an ip address. When the AEBS is set to bridge mode, you don't see a DCHP table or have the ability to identify your IP Cam through the AEBS - and hence, no port forwarding.
I am able to identify and set up my Linksys IP Cam by locating the ip address on my FIOS router, even though, it's plugged into an AEBS. I set it up, see the video, remove the ethernet cable from the IP Cam, restart - and I can't get to it from an AEBS. In researching this, it appears, I should be setting up the AEBS to "share an IP Address", going to the DHCP table and identifying the camera's IP address and setting up port forwarding. However, you don't see any of the DHCP or port forwarding options in Airport Network Utility when configuring in bridge mode.
I'm hoping I'm missing something here and that the solution isn't to set it up at the FIOS router level, but I'm beginning to think that's my only hope. What concerns me there is that I should be able to see the IP cam on the network without port forwarding since I'm not coming from outside, and I can't even do this unless it's connected hard wire.
I'd appreciate any insight into this that anyone might have. I've hit the wall with what I know.
Thanks.

In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

Connecting WAG320n to WRT610n using WET610n ethernet bridge

I have upgraded my network with a WAG320n Router/modem and have a WET610n (ethernet bridge) in my remote room. Because the WET is only one port, I would like to connect my old WRT610n router to the bridge, but need to know the right settings and connection info. The purpose is to use the additional ports and wireless from the remote location.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Problem solved and improved on
Thanks Klatch,
The WAG320n is nice, but not simultaneous dual band, so I set it for 5Ghz. I hard wired an accesspoint (WAP610n) to the router, set it for 2.4Ghz, and placed it about 3 meters apart from the Router. This gave me better access on the second floor for all devices with either bands. (I gave the access point it's own SSID to distinguish it).
To expand coverage to the first floor I installed the wireless N Ethernet Bridge (WET610N) on the fringe range of my routers output (still 4 bars). The bridge is set to 5Ghz - because that's what the WAG320 is. Then I connected the WRT610N router (which is simultaneous dual band) to the bridge. You plug the bridge into a LAN port on the WRT610N, NOT the WAN port. The WRT610 was programmed to 192.168.1.2, DHCP turned off, NAT disabled. I have the other 3 WAN ports hard wired to devices (Playstation, Slingbox, Blue Ray Player). All other first floor PC's are connected wirelessly via the 5GHZ or 2.4GHZ bands. The first floor coverage is excellent.   I maintained different SSID's for each Router and the Access Point, to distinguish which router or band I want to connect to.
If linksys only made the WAG320 simultaneous dual band, it would provide the extended coverage to all older and newer devices!!    The whole world isn't wrapped around 5Ghz yet! So.. If you want to extend and use another router as a repeater (wirelessly) you need a wireless Ethernet Bridge (or gaming adaptor) from the primary router and connect it to the secondary router.   Anything can be done with a little effort. Thanks
