Connecting 3 wireless bridges together on different networks.

here is problem.
I have dsl internet access (gateway 209.152.93.126) coming into the house to the modem.  from there it goes to a wrt56g (192.168.2.1) which runs to 1 computer, a tv and a wap54g (in bridge mode).  This bridge points to another wap54g on the side of my garage.  This runs to a 4 port hub, then to 2 computers all in the 192.168.2.x range.
My question is my buddy 2 house down has his own internet access but would like to be hooked up to my network for file sharing and playing network games.  He already has a wap54g pointing at my wap54g on the side of my garage.  His local network is set at 192.168.1.x. 
When I try to connect his wap54g to mine we lose internet access. 
Can I put both houses and garage on the same 192.168.1.x network but keep access to our own internet gateways?

In which mode you have configured the WAP which is connected hardwired to WAP54G(bridge mode).
Do you want to access the internet and sharing at the same time...?If yes then,it is not possible with your setup.

  • Connecting 2 wireless lans together?

    I've been having some difficulty searching for the answer to my problem. It's very simple. I'm renting the lower half of the house from my cousin. We have two internet connections in the house. One upstairs and one downstairs. So we have two cable modems and we each have a wireless router. Mine is a Linksys WRT300N I believe. His is a DLink WBR-1310. We'll call his network Lan1 and my network Lan2. Lan1 has a PC and a Ps3 behind the router. I have a PC and two Ps3's behind mine. We both have a media server running on our PC's so we can stream video to our Ps3's. We would like to connect our Lans together so we can access each other's PC and media servers to transfer/stream files. We don't want to share each others Internet connection. Each Lan has to keep it's own connection. We would prefer to connect them wirelessly but will go wired if it's a lot cheaper or easier. So how do we wirelessly connect the two lans so we can see each other's pc's but keep their own seperate internet connections? I've read something about just connecting the two routers with a normal ethernet cable and setting the gateways and dhcp settings manually. But wireless would be a lot better. I've heard something about needing a wireless bridge?

    But wouldn't that make it one big lan? I've had two routers hooked up before behind one modem and you're setup sounds similar to this. I don't remember but something like disabling DHCP on the second router and connecting it using the uplink port on one. Just extending the lan I guess.
    Would we still be using our own seperate internet connections? Kinda sounds like you're saying to make the second router a hub or switch. I'm not well versed on networking technology but I wonder if doing it your way we could set different gateway settings or whatever is needed to keep our own connections.
    From what i've read it sounds like we would need two wireless bridges. So router1>bridge---bridge<router2 kinda thing. I'd rather not spend money for two bridges though. Other option would be to run a 100 foot patch cable from one router to the other. Would they communicate this way?
    You'd think in this day and age it wouldn't be a problem to connect two lans together.

  • Can wireless backup be on different network to internet connection?

    Can you backup to a wireless backup (say a Time Capsule) but connect to a different wireless access point for the internet?

    There is no filtering from the wireless into the wired LAN. Any wireless user can access any computer on the wired LAN. If you use file or printer sharing in your LAN the computer is accessible. Of course, if you have set a password on the shares it is not immediately possible to access the files. Network printers (a printer with an ethernet card) should be fully accessible. The major risk would be that the computers are open for virus/malware. If your guest has a bad virus on his computer exploiting some new Windows vulnerability, it is likely to spread freely in your network. Your firewalls on the computers are usually set up to trust the LAN IP network. Anti-virus needs some time to be up-to-date with the latest threats. Some threats are never covered by anti-virus.
    Thus, bottom line: unless you really trust your guest not to do any harm and you think that they are reasonable about their computer's security I would not recommend to give them access to your LAN. Even if it is a Mac, often Mac users use Windows virtual machines to run some Windows-only application. Plus, even a Mac can be turned into a remote controlled bot which will only pose the platform for additional attacks against Windows computer. This may be unlikely but it happens.
    If you want to be secure, either get a different router which allows VLAN separate of multiple SSIDs into different fully separated VLANs or get a second wireless router which you connect to your internet modem. From there you connect to your WRT with your private LAN. The WRT will protect the LAN from access from the outside just like it protects your LAN at the moment from access from the internet. Your guest can connect to the wireless router which is connected directly to the internet.

  • Can you connect (2) wireless routers together?

    I have the BEFW11S4 Wireless Router in one room and wondering if I can connect it to a WRT54GS Wirless Router in anther room with (4) ports in another room instead of my WET11 Wirless bridge with just the (1) port.
    Thank you in advance for your response.

    I would look into setting one up as a standalone router and the other as the gateway.You would also want to make sure they don't try to both grab the same IP.

  • WAP200E wireless bridge not passing data

    Just setup two WAP200E's, the bridge is "Connected" as I look Status > System Performance in both WAP's. However, I cannot get to the LAN from one network to the next. Cannot even ping the WAP's from either side.
    I already have two WAP200E's on this network, that have been working well for month (164 day uptime), and they are configured with a wireless bridge between them, both networks on the same LAN (same 192.168.2.x network on either side). The bridge names are different, different from the main WiFi in the building, too (if it makes a difference), and the static IPs the WAPs have don't appear to have any conflicts on the network.
    This is actually three buildings, one is the main one with a Cisco SR520 for a router, and a Cisco SF 200-24P switch. So two WAP200E's go into this switch now, and I see them both fine when going into the management interface. Then each of the other buildings has one WAP200E, and a small Netgear 8 port PoE gigabit switch at each building to power the WAP.
    The Netgear switches aren't managed, and I've made sure any features like STP, VLANs, etc. are turned off. And the Cisco SF 200 switch is set at auto and all the defaults mostly, particularly for the ports. I tried doing a SmartPort for this latest WAP200E and that didn't change anything, tried disabling STP for it too, and no change. The PoE port for the working WAP200E is identical in config to the PoE port for the new WAP200E, and both show forwarding, all VLANs admitted (none are enabled, no VLAN tagging, etc.).
    So now I am wondering if I can have two WAP200E's into one switch? Or two bridges on the same LAN subnet? Or is there something else I am missing or should configure?

    I just resolved this after reading through the community posts on people not pinging across a wireless bridge. After reading one of them it was suggested to try another channel. Seemed odd since I would see success in and packets and bytes being sent and received in the WAPs.
    I ended up changing the SSID name to some a little different an changed the channel from 3 to 10 in both units. Worked instantly and has been rock solid now.

  • Help, Issues Connecting two Wireless Routers

    Ahead of time I would like to thank everyone for their responses and help. I tried to be as clear as possible. I believe I got all the details right. Some things are repetitive and might be a little confusing,  but please ask questions for any clarification. Thanks  for the help. 
    Current Routers:
    1. Linksys WRT600N ---- Used as primary router. Connected to the 4 ports are 3 PCs and a wireless router. All three PC have static IPs I reservered, also have a static IP reserved for the WGT624 wireless router. DMZ is also enabled and destination is the IP reserved for WGT624. 
    2. Netgear WGT624 ----  WGT624 is connected to WRT600N through  the WAN port on the WGT624 to port number X on the WRT600N . I was using Netgear WGT624 as an access point for a Xbox360 , a couple of macs and  ubuntu netbook.  This router recently died needs to be replaced.
    3. Linksys E3000 ---- Recently purchased to replace the Netgear WGT624 that has died. I want to use this as my new access point. Having trouble setting up the settings for this router. I want the same setup as before. 
    Detailed Problem
    I currently have the WRT600N located in the basement connected to a cable modem through the WAN port. Connected to the 4 ports on the back of WRT600N are 3 PCs and a Wireless router. Most of the settings on the WRT600N I left alone. The only thing I changed was reserving 4 IPs for the 3 PCs and the WGT624 wireless router. I also enabled the DMZ for the destination IP of the WGT624.  I also opened a couple of ports.
    The Netgear WGT624 that died was located on the upper level third floor. I was using it primarily as an access point. It was connected through the WAN port  of the WGT624 to port X on the WRT600N which is located in the basement. Settings on this are a little different. On the WGT624 I disabled the firewall. I left both the Auto DHCP enabled and the DHCP server. WPA was enabled on the WGT624. With these settings on the WGT624 I was able to connect to a xbox 360 and a few macs wirelessly to the internet with no issues .  I also noticed that the the internet IP displayed on the status tab on the WGT624 was the IP I had reserved on the WRT600N.  
    Recently the WGT624 died after  years of usage. So I purchased a Linkys E3000. I want to have a similar setup as before with the WGT624. However I have been running into issues. Wirelessly I cannot get access to the internet through the E3000. The E3000 is connected to the WRT600N in the same was as the WGT624. The WAN port of the E3000 is connected to the port number X of WRT600N.  On the status tab of the E3000 I seem to be getting a strange Internet IP address. 127.0.0.1. This I think is a loopback address, I am not sure? Same with the subnet mask of 255.0.0.0
    So the problem is I want the keep the same setup as before if I can. I don't want to the any computers who connect to the access point to have access to any computers that are connected to the 600N.
    I read on another thread I could connect two wireless routers together by connecting port X on the 600N to port X on the E3000.   Then changing the internal IP of the second router from 192.168.1.1 to 198.168.1.2 and then disabling the DHCP server.
    I really want to keep the same set up as before if posslble. More importantly I want to know why my setup prior, the WRT600N  to the WGT624 worked with no problems. Why could I use the WGT624 as an access point and not the E3000? Should I switch the the two routers use the 600N as the access point and E3000 as my main router?
    Thanks again.

    1. You have chained two routers. The WRT600N uses LAN IP address 192.168.1.1 subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The Netgear is connected with the WAN port to the WRT (thus uses an 192.168.1.* address on the WAN port) and uses 192.168.0.1 by default on the LAN side. Your new E3000, however, uses the Linksys default 192.168.1.1 on the LAN side. If you connect the E3000 to the WRT600 without making any changes it won't work. A router cannot work if WAN and LAN side both use 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0. That's impossible.
    2. Thus, the quick and easy setup to get the same as before would be to change the LAN IP address of the E3000 from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1. After that change you can connect the internet port of the E3000 to the WRT and everything works like before.
    3. However, in particular because you need port forwarding and you do port forwarding through two routers I would recommend not to run two routers chained. I can't see why it is necessary for you to run two routers and two separated networks. The basic setup and an explaination why a different setup may be better is here. I think in your case it would make things much simpler and you have full connectivity between all your computers. You can set up a roaming wireless network, too. The only problem is that you will "loose" one port on the E3000 because you cannot use the internet port.

  • Adding Two more Wireless bridges - Etherchannel

    Two facilites are connected via wireless bridge(AIR-BR1410A-E-K9).
    we wanted to add wireless bridge at each facility to increase the bandwidth.
    So we will have two wireless bridge at each facility connected wirelessly.
    and we wanted to achieve it by doing some kind of etherchannel in the switches at each location... will it work ? please advise.

  • E3000 cannot connect to wireless IP Camera

     I am trying to connect 2 wireless IP cameras to my network with a Cisco E3000 router. One is a DLink DCS-920 and the other is Foscam FI8918W. I set up both cameras over ethernet and enter the router stettings. When I disconnect the eternet I do not get wireless connectivity. When I run Cisco Connect software / Computers and Other Devices / Other Wireless Devices, it does not find the cameras.
    How do I connect to the cameras?
    Thanks

    After fiddling with various settings, I now can connect to the webcams locally through my browser. I cannot get the DLink DCS-920 to upload via FTP. The Foscam is not listed in the router's DHCP Client list, but I can see it in my browser.
    Any thoughts?
    My DLink webcam worked fine with a Netgear router.

  • Wireless Bridging SA520

    I currently have 2 buildings that are connected using wireless bridging between a AIR-AP1310 and a Cisco1800 with an HWIC-AP module.  I would like to bring a 3 building into the picture which has line of site to the AP1310.  I would like to use the SA520, so I get the firewall and VPN features.  Can the SA520 be set up in Bridge mode to connect to a AP1310?  If not can any of the small business AP units connect in this fashion?  I know I can use a AP1240 Series unit.

    i think it seems to work after i have change the ap1220b (ios) to operate as WGB.
    anyway, thanks for the suggestion. i dont think i can upgrade as,
    a> those ap are loan equipment
    b> neither do i have any cco account to obtain the software (requires some image software, if i have not mis-read the upgrade guide)

  • Connecting two networks with wireless bridges

    Hello all,
    We are trying to create a true CAN. We have 2 sets of 2 buildings each. One set is on the 172.23.x.x network and the other set is on the 172.25.x.x network. Each set has routing in place to go out over their respective MPLS circuits (which will be removed once this project is done). Each set also has their own vtp domain each containing ~30 vlans.
    Right now, there is a wireless bridge at each set of buildings and they can reach each other fine according to the vendor. I am trying to figure out an efficient way to tie these two networks together keeping their current vlan and local topology in place.
    Site 1:
    Vlan 1: 172.23.1.x
    Wireless bridge: 172.25.1.x
    Site 2:
    Vlan 1: 172.25.1.x
    Wireless bridge: 172.25.1.x
    Any help is appreciated. The idea is that all traffic from site two will now traverse the wireless bridge and use all resources and routing available at site 1.

    OK wel now the only solution left for you re-designing the IP addressing or if you want same  ip address either increase the scope or range of ip address per vlan or use DHCP server to provid Half the address to both sides. but the interface connecting interface must be a Layer 3 or Layer 2 ports.The only concern should be DHCP server vlan over lapping can be manage by Configuing VTP (Client/Server) .
              (Switch) ====wireless------------------wireless====(switch)
             Trunk (Layer2 port)                                                 Trunk (Layer2 port)
    and for vlan just if one dhcp server  nothign to worry  and incase of multiple server just load balance it will also provide the reduncency in you network.
    other option is simple using L3 approach and change the ip address only for resourches you want other people to access.

  • Wireless roaming in different networks

    Hello,
    In Wireless networks if we have two different networks with the same SSID when we pass from one network to another network, the client will change the ip network automatically or we need to disconnect and connect again to request another ip?
    I would like to know this information to Flexconnect and local. 
    Thank you.
    Best Regards
    Cristiano Nunes.

    Hello Cristiano,
    You don't need to disconnect and connect again if you have Layer-3 Roaming enabled.
    To configure Layer 3 Mobility, following requisites should be considered.
    SSID and security policies should be same across MAs.
    Client VLAN ID should be different for Layer 3 roaming.
    Either one or both of the bridge domain ID and client VLAN ID should be different for Layer 3 Roaming.
    Please find the attached topology for better understanding.
    Regards,

  • Power Mac G3 Pismo with Airport wireless card in Mac OS X 10.4 won't connect to wireless network  with  newest Airport Extreme Base Station set at WPA Personal/WPA 2 Personal encryption.

    My Power Book G3 Pismo with an Airport wireless card  running Mac OS X 10.4.11 will not connect to my new Airport
    Extreme Base Station using WPA Personal/WPA 2 Person encryption.  The Airport firmware is version 9.52.  From
    posts I've read online at different places indicates the Airport card should support the WPA encryption.  Perhaps the problem
    is the Base Station is using a combination setting and the fault is in the base station?
    Thanks for any suggestions

    Perhaps an inexpensive usb wireless adapter would work as well?
    This is probably the simplest way to get the G3 connected to the wireless network.
    I'll have to read up on getting an express and using it as a wireless bridge as I am unfamiliar with the concept.
    The new AirPort Extreme is broadcasting a wireless signal.
    A new AirPort Express could be located close to the G3. The Express will pick up the wireless signal from the AirPort Extreme, then provide an Ethernet connection to the G3 though a short Ethernet cable. 
    This can work very well......IF.....you keep the G3 at a fixed location, since it will always be connected to the AriPort Express using an Ethernet cable.
    I do have an old Linksys Wireless G router.  I wonder if that would work?
    In theory, yes. But it would have to use much older WEP "security", which is easily cracked in minutes using free tools available on the Internet. So, anyone who really wanted to get on the network could do so. It's an option, but not a very good one.

  • Do I need to setup my AirPort Express on a modem before trying to connect it wirelessly to my time capsule existing network?

    I have an airport express that I used in another location.  I brought it home and want to use it with my existing network and time capsule to do AirTunes.  I can't get the Express to show up in my airport utility to even set it up.  Do I need to connect it to my time capsule with an ethernet cable first to configure, or should it be showing up as a device to add to my network automatically?

    1. i would restore the express to factory defaut by holding the reset button on the unit with a paperclip while you are powering it on
    2. if it restored, you should be able to see it in your wifi icon at top of screen as "airport express"
    or you can see it in airport utility
    3. then if you want to connect it wirelessly to your time capsule, you would choose "extend network" and put in relevant security and password....this would make the express a wireless access point, fed by your time capsule(main router)
    if you chose to do it wired which is a better way if you have access to ethernet port at wall, you would choose "create a wireless network" and then under the "network" tab you would choose "Bridge Mode".....this would make the express a wired access point, fed by your time capsule(main router)

  • Can I connect a wireless printer to two wireless networks

    I searched and couldn't find an answer to this exact situation. The answers to similar questions didn't seem to work.
    Can we share a wireless printer over two wireless networks without adding hardware or changing the wiring or doing complicated software modifications?
    Here is my set-up:
    Cable Modem> Linksys Wireless Router “N” on the first floor > older AirPort Extreme “G” via ethernet cable on second floor > Laser Printer via USB Cable on the second floor, plus an AirPort Express to extend the area on the second floor. We have 2 MacBooks and 1 MacBookPro that connect to the internet via either of 2 wireless networks. Generally, for better connection, you choose “N” if you are on the first floor and “G” for the second floor.
    Currently, if you want to print to the USB Printer, you just select it in the print dialog box. It does not matter if you are on Network “N” or Network “G.”
    We just added a new wireless Printer that’s on the first floor. (No, I didn't read the directions, the printer screen said if there is a W?? button on your router, press it. I did and it automatically connected to the “N” network. It also has its own email address for printing without a computer, but that still doesn't solve this question.)
    If you want to print to this printer, you must first change the computer’s AirPort setting to join the “N” network. If you don't, you still get the print dialog box, but eventually you will notice that nothing happens. The document just sits in the Printer’s queue.
    Is there a way to get a computer on the “G” network to find the wireless printer on the “N” network without first changing networks?
    Remember, it automatically finds the USB printer that is plugged into the “G” network router.

    It used to be that if you wanted to wirelessly extend the range of a network, you'd have to set up a WDS. (WDS = Wireless Distribution System.) There was no "Extend a wireless network" option and no "Allow this network to be extended" checkbox—you'd have to fill out lots of WDS information yourself. It was sort of a pain.
    Then, with the 802.11n AirPorts, Apple introduced the "Extend a wireless network" option, greatly simplifying the setup process. It accomplishes the same thing as a WDS, but it's easier to set up and has less overhead. However, it can only be used if every AirPort in the wireless network supports 802.11n.
    Your Express may support 802.11n, but your Extreme is older and does not. So "Extend a wireless network" won't work for your network. That's why you got errors when you set the Express's "Wireless Mode" option to "Extend a wireless network." Instead, you'll have to do things the old-fashioned way* and configure the Extreme and the Express to be part of a WDS. Your network will still work as desired: the Express will rebroadcast the signal from the Extreme, and clients will connect to whichever station has the stronger signal. It's just that you'll be using the older WDS technology instead of the newer "Extend a wireless network" feature.
    "Join a wireless network" is something different entirely. You'd use it if you wanted to connect to a network but not rebroadcast it. This could be useful when, for instance, your main router isn't an AirPort but you want to use AirTunes. In your case, however, this option wouldn't be very useful.
    Look at [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2588489] for more information.
    *Actually, the old-fashioned way would be to use modems. Or to forget about the internet and send snail mail instead.
