Configuring an Airport network with two separate nets...

Hi,
I need to configure my Airport Network to have two different local net: the first using 192.168.1.x, and the second using 192.168.2.x with the same gateway address in order that one net could not see the other one but both can use the same internet connection, connected to the main Airport Extreme through the wan port.
Normally to make it I work I configure the subnet of the router in 255.255.0.0.
But I can't find anything about the possibility to set up these LAN parameters (also the LAN IP of an Airport...!!!) on Airport Extreme.
Is there a way I can't find? I hope it can be possible to set these basic parameters like in every 30$ cheapest router...
Or maybe someone could help me to set up my network?
Thanx in advance for any reply,
Gab

I have DSL service from AT&T in San Francisco that includes five static WAN IP addresses behind a single Internet connection with gross speeds of 6Mbps down and 768Kbps up. This kind of service may not be available to you in Italia.
A fairly common use of this service is to provide a "public" Internet connection service for clients and guests while providing another "private" service restricted to employees and associates. Using up to five routers, you can set up to five different subnets that are independent of each other. All subnets share the same Internet pipeline, however.
In my case, I use separate subnets for various testing purposes. For example, I might use a separate subnet to test various functions of a new router without fear of causing problems with my primary network.

  • Can I configure a wireless home network with two cable routers (both with separate connections to the same cable company)?  Issue is poor signal strength even with multiple Airport Expresses added to the network.

    I have a wireless home network consisting of a time capsule, two airport expresses and a cable modem.  Even with this configuration I get a very weak signal in much of be condo - the walls, etc. are solid concrete. I want to see if I can add another separately connected cable modem and connect one of the existing airport express to it by Ethernet cable.  If so, this would give me two wired hubs and greatly improve signal strength. I do not know if this configuration will in fact work or if I will just wind up with two, separate and unrelateable networks.  Unfortunately, there is no way to run any additional Ethernet cable and I doubt simply adding more Airport Express will help. Thanks.

    Try Ethernet over Power adapters.. these are very popular for your kind of environment.. being able to make non-wireless link to another area where you can setup a wireless access point.
    Airport Express are not great for wireless power.. if you really have issues with wireless strength in a bad environment apple stuff is not the way to go.
    The comparison chart here.
    http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/router-charts/bar/58-2_4-ghz-dn?see=P_F
    This is their worst test location you can also see averages.. the latest airport extreme.. is there a long way down.. and that is a much better wireless device than Airport Express.
    The Ubiquiti power AP is small cheap and designed for precisely this duty.. useless in an apple wireless network.. you will need to run ethernet or EOP adapters back to the main router.. but if the normal omni directional antennas don't provide enough signal you can get directional ones.. I suspect you can cover your whole apartment with a pair of these and high gain directional antenna.

  • I'm suddenly unable to join my Airport network with my PowerBook G4.  I am able to access my network with all of my other devices.  How can I once again establish access using my PowerBook G4.

    Bruce777 solved this for me, thank you Bruce! My printer now works perfectly on my new wifi network!
    Bruce's  instructions, for anyone else having the same issue:
    - delete any previously set up printers
    - scrub old hp software and update software to get the hp 2.8 drivers
    - remove the usb cable from the printer if you have one connected
    - reset the printer network to hpsetup (hold down the power button and press network button 2x and then cancel 3x, release power button.)
    - print out the wireless network test report (hold down the network button and press the update button 2x). verify the network name / ssid is hsetup
    - got to sys prefs > network and change the mac wireless network to hpsetup
    - go to the sys pref > print scan
    - add the HP 8000 printer
    - click on the options and supplies button and click on the Show Printer Webpage
    - click on the networking tab > wireless in the left pane > start network wizard and change the network from hpsetup to your network
    - finish (this page may freeze up.  close the browser)
    - go back to the sys prefs and change the wireless network back to your networt
    - go to the printer and print out the wireless network test report (press network button and update button 2x).  Check that the SSID is your network
    - go to sys prefs > print scan > select your printer > options & supplies > show printer webpage > network info (check ssid and compare to wireless network test report)
    - try printing something to your printer.  It might take a little time the first print.

    If it is a context based configuration  that you are doing then, you would need to configure context on the ASA first, you can refer to this document for it:

  • Solution for Poor signal in a wireless WDS network with two Airport Extreme

    I have just bought my second Airport Extreme to create a wireless network with the best possible signal. I have one Airport Extreme in my office and the second one (supposedly the remote base) in the living room, two brick walls and 7 meters away. I have follow Apple instructions for the setup, main base "Create a Wifi Network" and Extend network option selected. The remote "join an existent network" and Allow wifi clients selected. According to Apple this is a WDS network between two Airport Extreme.
    The network is working and the signal from my iMac is very good in my Office. In the living room the signal with my PC laptop is also very good.
    Problem is that my iPod Touch OS 3.0 (I use it as a remote control in my living room with a twonky media server) gets now a very weak wifi signal in my living room, in many cases I lose the wifi sgnal although I sit two meters away from the remote Airport Extreme in the Living Room. If I go to my office with the iPod, then I get a good signal.
    I think that only the first Airport Extreme in my Office (Main Base) is emitting a wifi signal and the second Airport Extreme (remote) is only receiving the wifi signal not making a repetition of the wifi signal. (Sorry for my explanation, I am not technical on this.)
    I thought that, in a WDS configuration, the remote Airport Extreme WAS suppose to also replicate the wifi signal in my living room.
    I have also tried a WDS manual setup with the two airport with the same results.
    Is there a solution for this?. Do I have to connect the two Airport Extreme with a wire ethernet in order to be able to have a wifi signal strong enough in my living room for my iPod Touch?.
    Thank you for your time.

    Thank you Bob for your time.
    I understand from your words that with a DHCP reservation I can force de Airport Extreme Main Base to assign an specific IP to a particular client in the network. Is that correct?. If that is the case, I will reserve the 10.0.1.3 to the Twonky Media Server (I need this to be fixed to this IP) and I will change the configuration of the remote Airport Extreme to DHCP automatic.
    I will give it a try in a few days. I have spent so many hours with this set up that I am a bit terrified to start again today, to tired from work.
    Just one last question. Setting up the remote Airport was very difficult with the Airport Utility. I had to reset and start many times as I always got two errors in the set up:
    1.- Internet not connected.
    After a minute or so, most of the time the problem was corrected automatically as the remote found the main base that is connected to the internet. I got a confirmation message for this.
    2.- Second problem was that Airport Utility said that it could no connect the remote to the specified network. Sometimes (not always) the remote light turn green both in the Airport Extreme and in the Airport Utility, BUT I never got confirmation of a successful installation. Nevertheless, the connection was established because the wifi network exist.
    Do I have to "disable the WAN port" during the installation of the remote Airport to avoid the problems?.
    Best Regards,
    Fernando

  • Extend Wireless Network with Two Airports Via Ethernet?

    I would like to know if you can extend a wireless network using an ethernet cable between two Airport devices.
    There are a couple of reasons why Id like to do this:
    Im thinking that because the additional basestation (Airport Extreme) is hardwired to the main Airport (Time Capsule, plugged directly into my cable modem), it doesnt rely on a Wi-Fi signal source, so the network speed wouldnt be degraded as it does when you normally extend a Wi-Fi network over the air. And possibly the range would be a little better? Id still be using Airport network for my iDevices.
    Id like to use the Extreme as a router to hook up other devices such as a TiVo, TiVo Stream and Xbox 360. I'd prefer these devices be hardwired to the network (and actually the TiVo Stream requires that it be).
    How would you set this up while keeping everything on the same network? Is this even possible?
    Currently my setup looks like this: Cable Modem<ethernet>Time Capsule<ethernet>Airport Extreme:<ethernet>TiVo,<ethernet>TiVo Stream,<ethernet>Xbox 360

    In addition to John Galt's suggestion, there is another very simple and quick way to verify that your AirPort Extreme is "extending" correctly.
    Locate your Mac laptop near the main router first....in your case, it would be the Time Capsule and log on to the wireless.
    Hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the AirPort icon
    Look for the BSSID and jot down the last few numbers.  That is the AirPort ID of the Time Capsule.
    Now move your laptop close to the AirPort Extreme and perform the same test.  If you see the same BSSID as you did before.....the AirPort Extreme is not extending, since your laptop is still picking up the wireless signal from the Time Capsule.
    If you see a different BSSID, that will confirm that the laptop is picking up a wireless signal from the extending AirPort Extreme.
    Try to minimize obstructions between wireless devices and the access points to which they are connecting.

  • Can I set up a WDS network with two main base stations?

    I have an AEBS in the main part of the house and a time capsule in the office in the back of the house, currently with one internet connection (it's cable modem) into to the AEBS. I have tried to use relays (two airport expresses) in a WDS to have the internet connection reach the time capsule, but unfortunately the distance is too great and it won't make it.
    I can move the internet connection and AEBS into the middle of the house and everything would be fine (one internet connection into the house, no need for relays to reach the time capsule), but this requires rewiring the cable connection and adding a power outlet, which seems like a lot of work.
    My other option is to simply have another internet connection hardwired into the office. This would be using the same cable that comes into the house and is split outside. If I go this route--my question is--can I get the time capsule and the AEBS be on the same WDS network (same name, same passwords?), or will I have two separate networks in the house? If it is the former--how do I set it up? Can I have a WDS with two main base stations? Or is there an easier route?
    Thanks the help and advice...

    Just run the Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on the AEBS to the WAN port on the Time Capsule. Configure the Time Capsule to operate as a bridge.
    You do not use WDS when they are wired together.
    Then configure the AEBS and Time Capsule to use the same SSID, wireless encryption type/level/password. Have them operate on different channels as far apart as possible.

  • Double-Extended Network with two AX - Possible?

    I am in a large apartment with lots of concrete walls. I use a Time Capsule (500G) connected to a cable modem to access the internet, and have two AX set up to extend the network twice. No. 1 is in a hall way and serves to extend the network into the living room. No. 2 is in the living room and serves as my iTunes connection to my stereo. I can stream wirelessly through No. 2 to the stereo, but my Internet connection (and presumably my streaming music) are routed through No. 1, even though I am sitting in front of No. 2.
    Both AX are set on "Extend a wireless network" mode, and the network is on 5Ghz.
    I have played with various settings on both AX, but cannot get my MBPro to connect to No. 2. Any thoughts? Can it be that two AX can not extend a network twice, serially?
    Ed

    Unless you have some unusual obstructions in place, your MBP should normally connect to the Express that it is closest to. Check your "extend" setup carefully as it is easy to make a mistake or forget a check mark on a configuration that can make all the difference.
    In AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Wireless tab, your TC must be setup to "create a wireless network" and there must be a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
    For the Express devices select the unit you want to check and use the same Manual Setup > Wireless tab to check the configuration of both units. Wireless mode should be "Extend a wireless network" and there must be a check mark next to "Allow wireless clients". AirTunes is active by default in the setup.
    Check pages 43-44 on the AirPort Networks Guide...link is on the home page of the forum....for a step by step guide on setting up the "extend" feature.
    Using your MBP, hold down the option key while you click the AirPort icon at the top of the screen and it will show you the MAC address of the device that you are connected to.
    The important number in terms of bandwidth is Transmit Rate. You want it as high as possible. Experiment with a few different Radio Mode settings to determine what will give you the best Transmit Rate. It's possible that a 2.4 GHz setting may be better than a 5 GHz setting. It just depends on the construction of the home and number of obstructions in the signal path.

  • Can I configure a 79xx Phone with two busy trigger using UCCE 8.5?

    Hi, my name is Eric and I've some doubts to configure my Phones. First of all, I will explain my environment below:
    - UCCE 8.5
    - CM 8.5
    - CVP 8.0
    I would like to know if it's supported if I configure a 79xx Phone with 2 busy triggers configuration, because the customer would like to the agent's phone receive two calls per line.
    Thank you very much.

    Eric,
    No, this is not supported and stated as such in cisco docs.
    Customer will need to designate separate DN for ACD calls and separate DN for DID/personal calls.

  • Configuring one LDAP domain with two OU (one RO, another RW)

    Hi Team,
    My client is implementing NW 7.0 Enterprise Portal on SP14, AIX 5.3 & Oracle 10.2.0.4.
    We're using MS-ADS LDAP as an UME data source. The client wishes to configure UME for one single ADS LDAP (domain) with two OU (NOT domains) such that:
        1. One OU has read only access
        2. Second OU has read/write access
    Following is an illustration of the LDAP tree structure:
    CORP_DOM
    -- INT_USERS    (CN=IntUsers, DC=CORP_DOM, DC=NET) - read-only
    -- INT_GROUPS  (CN=IntUsers, DC=CORP_DOM, DC=NET) - read-only
    -- EXT_USERS    (CN=ExtUsers, DC=CORP_DOM, DC=NET) - read/write
    -- EXT_GROUPS  (CN=ExtGrp, DC=CORP_DOM, DC=NET) - read/write
       |-- SAccounts
       |--
       |--
    Note the single LDAP domain, multiple user and group paths with different access privileges.
    Based on what I've read so far, this does not seem feasible as the datasource configuration file has to have unique datasource id and the private section allows only one tag for user path and group path.
    I checked OSS, SDN but could only find information on configuring multiple domain/LDAP and not one LDAP domain but two OU/CN.
    Kindly let me know if anyone has come across or done such a configuration.
    Thanks.

    Hi GLM,
    You are right, access permissions to the OU are given to the service account used to access the directory from the portal.
    The issue I have is not about granting permissions - its more about whether it is possible at all to configure UME for one single ADS LDAP (domain) containing two OU (NOT domains). I'd need to access the directory with two different service users having differen access privileges.
    I don't see how it can be done, since the datasource id in the portal datasource configuration file has to be same as the domain and the private section allows only one tag for user path and group path.
    Thanks.

  • Priority Setting with two separate DNS boxes working with one Xserve?

    Hi Admins,
    I am pondering over a DNS setup question here. There are 2 MacMini boxes, both running Mac OS X 10.6.2 server with the DNS services. Each of them are connected to two separate physical networks form two different ISPs. The key server ( Xserve ) is connected to the two ISPs through each of the ethernet interfaces. Once the boxes are live the traffic is always routed through the ISP # 2 ( originally a backup ISP and hence a lower bandwidth connection ) which times out the users and is very very slow. The primary ISP is the one with the higher bandwidth and needs the traffic routed through it at all times. Only when the ISP#1 is down, the ISP#2 should take over.
    Is there a way to prioritize one over the other. Currently I have the ISP#2 DNS box offline as it will otherwise gain priority and website page loads, mail and other key services will suffer. The registry entry with the domain seller has two dns entries for the the above two boxes.

    Is there a way to prioritize one over the other
    Sure - at least if I understand the question. Just change the order of the interfaces in System Preferences -> Network -> (gear wheel) -> Set Service Order.
    The interface nearest the top of the list will have priority, so set ISP1's link there. If that link goes down ISP2's link will automatically take over the traffic.
    This doesn't account for how users get to your network, of course - users may still try to connect via ISP#1's IP address, but that's a whole different kettle of fish.
    Note that this method is based purely on the link-level - as long as ISP#1's interface has a link the OS will prefer that link, even if the upstream connection is down. At that level your option is to have a script that periodically checks the ISP#1's link and changes the default route setting on the host to point to ISP#2's router address.

  • There was an error joining the Airport network with WEP or WPA

    I use a wireless adsl modem router (Philips). I can only connect via wireless to this router without encryption.
    As soon as I use WEP or WPA encryption, I get the error message "There was an error joining the Airport network".
    Thank you for any suggestion.

    Do not overlook the possibility that the router itself may be incompatible or may require a firmware update to work properly. You should configure the router to use WPA2, preferably, as this is the most compatible form of encryption with Airports.

  • Advice on set up for a mixed Airport network with guest network.

    Hi,
    The manuals on the Airport Extreme and Airport Networking are more technical than my knowledge base can follow.  I would like advice on how to set up a new network with a mixture of wired and wireless devices and some Windows equipment as well as os x based macs.  the following:  dsl broadband from Talk Talk to be managed by a Draytek Vigor 120 external modem connected to an Airport Extreme.  I want to connect a Nov 2009 iMac (with Mountain Lion installed), Apple TV and xbox by ethernet cable to the 3 ethernet ports on the Extreme, but also to connect wirelessly one Windows 7 laptop, one Macbook Pro (2010) (again running Mountain Lion) and various other wireless devices like an iPad 2, iPhones etcetera, with all devices being part of one network run under one SSID and able to access the internet, and the 3 computers being able to fileshare with each other. On my current Windows created network which I am abandoning for reasons I won't go into here, if more than one of the computers is switched on, I can use any one of the computers to access information in any of the shared folders on the other computers - via Finder in the case of the macs - and I need this going forward.  I would also like to create a Guest network as I have a lot of people come to stay who need internet access. To further complicate things, I would also like to add in an Airport Express wirelessly onto the network and link that to a hi-fi to give me the ability to play my iTunes library (situated on my iMac at present) on the hi-fi. 
    I appreciate that there are similar questions but I have not really found an answer that exactly nails my situation.
    Thanks in advance.   

    It is not really an issue of how many clients can the iMac serve, but more about the volume of traffic you are processing or data the database application needs to serve. We have a Mac hardware that is a good 6 years or more old running OSX Server and supporting 20/30 clients without any problems.
    One idea you may like to consider.
    Don't run the VPN on the mac, get a router or separate dedicated networking box that provides that purpose. Then it will talk the load of any networking issues and external attacks. It can also provide other networking services for you such a DHCP, firewall, DNS, internet gateway, etc. They cost less next to nothing and are easy to install.
    When you need to get something faster, look for a second hand xerve - we use them all the time. They have the advantage of have fast and very reliable discs, also you can raid the disks and hot swap them for backup purposes,
    Finally, moving from one machine to another is each with things like carbon copy. But you cannot have the same licence for OSX server running twice, so you will need to install normal OSX on the iMac once you have done the move.
    As for can you easily move from a imac to mac pro, sure not to hard to do.

  • How do I set up two accounts with two separate mail applications?

    My wife and I have two separate email accounts. At home she gets her mail on her computer and mine on my computer. While traveling I would like to be able to allow her to get her email on my laptop. I set up the 2nd account and activated it but her email comes in mixed with mine. How can I set up a separate mail program for her account?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Jim Conrad

    Hello Jim.
    As already provided, open Inbox to reveal the Inbox for each account. Selecting an account's Inbox mailbox reveals messages received by that account only in the message list. Selecting Inbox reveals a "blended" Inbox mailbox for all accounts.
    The same applies to Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk in the mailboxes drawer.
    If you want these accounts to be truly separate, create a login account on your iBook for your wife - with or without admin privileges. Your wife can create her email account only in Mail under her login account and you can delete her account from Mail under your login account.
    This way, each others' email accounts are kept completely separate along with all other data in each other's Home folder/directory. OS X was designed for multiple users in this way.
    You can enable Fast User Switching which makes the process of switching between multiple login accounts a fast and easy process.
    There are some families with 4 or more family members that use a single Mac in this way. Each login account can have their own Desktop background and settings, etc., etc. so when logging in to their account the Mac seems like it is theirs only.
    This link focuses on setting up separate user login accounts for kids but the effect is the same.
