Connecting to specific routers within a WDS network

I have two routers that are successfully operating on a WDS network.
The primary router is a linksys WRT54G v2.2 with dd-wrt firmware and the secondary router is an airport express. The express has my xbox connected to it allowing me to connect to the network and i have it configured to play videos from my macbook and desktop pc.
I know that because the primary router is not the airport extreme that the WAN connection is bottlenecked by the ISP, however i would like to be able to stream HD video - as well as transfer large files between my xbox, pc, and macbook - while utilizing the 802.11n functionality of the airport extreme.
Is it possible to force my macbook to selectively connect to the airport extreme in order to acheive the higher data transfer rates while bypassing the linksys router?

+I've concluded that the firmware in the newer version of the AX must ave been enhanced to permit the use of the ethernet port when it's extending a network.+
The AirPort Express 802.11n has a feature called ProxySTA which allows the ethernet port to be enabled when the device "joins" virtually any wireless network. The Express does not "extend" the wireless network when it "joins"
The 802.11n AirPort Express also works in conjunction with another Apple "n" router to allow the wireless network to be extended without the speed loss and bandwidth drop associated with WDS. The "extend" feature only works among Apple devices on a network.
When the Express is setup to "extend a wireless network", the ethernet port is also active.

Unbearably slow Internet connection using WDS network

We have an old Airport Extreme (saucer, 802.11b/g) and an Airport Express (802.11n, b/g compatible). We're using the Extreme as a WDS main, and the Express as WDS relay. Wireless devices that connect to the Internet in our house include a MacBook Pro, a couple of iPhones, an iPod Touch, an XBox 360, and a PS3.
None of these wireless devices are in direct line of sight to the main base station. Typically, our connection to the Internet is decent for the XBox, which has almost a clear line of sight to the relay (Express) base station. On the other hand, the connection for the MacBook Pro, iPhones, and iPod, is extremely slow. Maybe the actual connection speeds are the same for all devices, but at least for the XBox online gaming works. (Haven't tried online gaming with the PS3 yet.)
The problem that compelled me to post this thread is the slow Internet connection to our MacBook. When our MacBook Pro is moved from its usual location to a place just a few feet away from the Extreme, download speeds are satisfactory (e.g. 10,000+ kbps measured using Speakeasy.net). However, when we sit farther away from the Extreme and are only a few feet from the Express, download speeds are dismal (200-300 kbps). The Internet connection is noticeably slow; web pages load like molasses, and watching streaming video is almost impossible. Upload speeds are usually about 7-10x faster, which is kind of strange.
Airtunes is off. We've tried setting up the Express base station as a WDS remote instead of relay, no difference. Allow wireless clients is turned on for both main and relay. Channel 1, WPA2 personal security.
Part of the problem may be due to the fact that our house is steel framed so, depending on location, the frame of the house may get in the way of our wireless network. But even if the MacBook is within 2 feet of the Express with NO walls or obstacles in between, the speed remains dismal. The line of sight from the Extreme (main) to the Express (relay) is impeded by a few obstacles but little in the way of walls.
However, if the MacBook is close to the Extreme, with good speeds, then I walk away and sit near the Express, I still get good download speeds. This lasts only a short time. Also, if I turn off Airport on my MacBook Pro and turn it back on again, speeds are back down right away.
I understand WDS cuts the bandwidth down substantially, so I decided to unplug the Express and just use the Extreme station, set to create a wireless network instead of participate as main in a WDS network. When I do this I get satisfactory speeds on the MacBook Pro, even sitting at a location where I used to get the slow speeds.
So at first I thought forgetting about WDS completely would seem to be the solution to the problem. That seems to be true for the MacBook, but when the Express is offline and the Extreme is the only base station, the XBox and PS3 now are the devices with a very poor connection to the Internet, as there are 3+ steel framed walls between the base station and the devices. When the WDS network is up, the XBox and PS3 are almost in direct line of sight to the relay station (but then I lose speed on the MacBook and other devices.)
I'm trying to find a solution that allows a good speed connection for all these devices. Right now I have to choose between a regular network with a good connection for my MacBook, or a WDS network that allows gaming but appears to be worthless for the MacBook.
Your assistance is most welcome.

I'm trying to find a solution that allows a good speed connection for all these devices.
The solution is to run an Ethernet cable from the LAN port on the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to the AirPort Express (AX). Then you won't need to use WDS and you won't suffer the bandwidth penalty of WDS. Then you would configure both the AEBS and AX to create a wireless network using the same SSID (network name) and wireless encryption type/level/password. The AX should be configured to act as a bridge (not sharing a single IP address).

Preventing wifi access to specific routers

Is there a way to prevent the iPod touch from connecting to specific routers?
I have a router setup up in my apartment, sometimes I use my wifi from the restaurant below me. The problem is, across the street is a free wifi hotspot (but I can't get into, let alone past their gateway page). While I'm connected to my router I have no problems going online. But when coming out of sleep, the iPod will look for a wifi connection and even though the free one is lower, it'll connect to it.
Even if I could get get into the free wifi's gateway it's easier to just use my own router. So, is their a way to tell the iPod touch to not connect to a specific or ANY router other than the selected router?

I have a 2G and have had this problem with the 2.2 and 2.2.1 firmwares... I don't recall having the issue with 2.1.1 (the firmware that came on it).
If I MANUALLY connect to any network, including the ad-hoc and other network I mentioned at the beginning, I DO get the "Forget this network" option. Because I don't use these other networks, I promptly tell it to forget those few times I was testing it. But it is the times that it "mysteriously" connects to these networks on its own, that I DON'T get the option. And that infuriates me!!!
Last night, I reset ALL the options on the iPod (without deleting actual media). Yet, today as I sat down in the restaurant below my apartment, the iPod disconnected from my router and connected to the ad-hoc. And again, without giving me the option to forget it. All this despite the fact that I still get a consistently stronger signal from my router than the ad-hoc.
I am wondering, as I mentioned earlier, if the ad-hoc is connecting TO me. I admit I had connected to it once when I got the iPod to see what would happen, but I didn't expect it to constantly connect afterwards.

Connecting an 802.11n Express to an older WEP-enabled WDS network

I have a domed 802.11g Extreme base station connected to an older (802.11g) Express in a 128-bit WEP enabled WDS network - works great.
I recently purchased a new 802.11n Express and would like to add it as another remote in my WDS. The new Airport Setup Utility will not allow me to set up the new Express as a remote in a WDS network with 128-bit WEP. The closest I can get is WEP Transitional Security Network. When setting it up this way, it demanded a 13-character password -- which I dutifully supplied AFTER changing the password on my domed Extreme to the same thing. After all this effort - the new Express won't get past the blinking yellow light thus requiring me to reset it using the manual reset button.
I can get this same unit to "join" my existing network just fine. In that case, it accepts 128-bit WEP without a whimper.
Is there a basic compatibility problem here? Can I get the new unit to connect to the old 128-bit WEP network by using Transitional Security Network? Do I need to update the whole network to WPA? Or is there some other issue here that has nothing to do with the security issue?
Thanks for any help.

Hello Tim Hopmann. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
You should be able to access the "earlier" WEP modes by first changing the radio mode on the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) to one of the non-"n" modes. To do so, just be sure to hold down the <Option> key before making the radio mode selection in the AirPort Utility. Once you choose one of these non-"n" modes, the WEP 40 & 128-bit options become available.

HT4356 can i airprint to my airprint printer remotely, with ipad, from another wifi connection or only when i am within my own network?

can i airprint to my airprint printer remotely, with ipad, from another wifi connection or only when i am within my own network?

Air print, and the normal hp airprint set up requires that the pad and the printer be on the same wifi net work. The 'connecting' is done by your router. That means remote printing wont work with the out of the box stuff. I think you might find some 3rd party apps that do support remote printing, but i have not seen any reports from users that found a really good solution. Print n share reads like it might work, i am sure some users will chime in.

Possible to "pair" a machine with a specific base in a WDS?

I'm still working on getting my WDS playing friendly, but once up, I'd like to do this if possible.
There are multiple bases and machines in our network. I looked into doing a separate N only network, but it's just not going to be possible with the way I want to be able to use everything. Basically I would like to ensure the only 802.11n machine in the house is connecting to the new N base station, even though there is a G base closer to it. Is this possible? Kind of like "preferring" a specific network over others, but I want it to prefer a specific base station within the WDS, to maximize speed.
Thanks,
Sean

If you connect the N and the G via two different ethernet cables to your router, and give each access point a different network name, then you can specify the access point you want to use for each computer. Doing it this way will insure that your N access point maintains the highest possible transfer speed. If you wirelessly link your G to your N access point, you will drop the transfer rate of the N for all computers down to the speeds of the G. There is a notation on the box about connecting to the N access point with wireless devices other than N and what impact that will have on the N.
I have not had very good luck setting up WDS with the N. It appears from the configuration in the Airport Wireless program that the N can not be set up as a WDS base like the G model can. It also appears that you still have to use the G model as the WDS base and the N as a wireless node to the G model.
If you set the N up as the base as in create a new network, and then set the G up to join the network and give it the N's network name to join, then your laptop should seek out the closest access point, be it the N or G. However, based on varying signal strengths based on your location, the laptop should switch between the two as needed. With one network name, this would be automatic and would, again, impact the speed of the N unit.
To be absolutely sure you get the most out of your N access point, you need to be sure that no non-N wireless units are connecting to it.
I am sure that if I misspoke something here, someone will jump in and correct me. If so, I would also be interested in any other alternatives to better utilize my G unit in a remote capacity without slowing down the AE-N.

Ipad in WDS network: problems with roaming

We have a WIFI-network with several remote wifi-stations. Using an iPad, we have problems when moving within the network to pick up the stronger signal from a close-by station. Instead, the iPad keeps the previous station till it gets so week it drops the connection.
It looks, we had a problem with 3.0, then it seemed to become much better in iOS 3.2, now with 3.3. it got bad again.
Any experience or better idea how to get a reliable connection when moving within the wifi-network-area?

you did not say what router you are using. i am asuming you have 2 apple airport base stations, one named lab1 and the other is lab2.
if you want your ipad to steer to the nearest base station you need to run an ethernet cable between lab1 and lab2 on lab1 you set airport utility to "allow this network to be extended" and on lab2 yoiu run airport utillity and set it to "join an existing network", there should be a setting there"connect with ethernet".. once this is properly setup, the ipad should automatically steer to the access point that has the strongest signal
also on lab2, you want to set it to ""allow wireless clients". if that is not checked, then the ipad cannot join it.
if you are not using apple airport extremes or apple airport expresses in your network, then your probably posting on the wrong forum. and you would need to go to that manufactures website to see how to setup their wireless routers to wds.

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

Can't extend my existing Express b/g WDS network with new Express n

Hi all,
For the past 2 years I have been using a very simple Airport Express b/g wireless network setup. I have two of the older generation b/g Expresses and I've created a WDS network where the main Express is connected to my broadband modem and participates to my WDS as "main" and the relay Express is configured to participate to this WDS as "relay". This setup works flawlessly and I was very happy with it. Note: the firmware version on both units is 6.3.
Recently, I wanted to extend the range of this network. I've bought and received the newer generation Express n. To my surprise, setting it up to extend my already existing b/g WDS is simply impossible. Below is a summary of the situation:
1) The firmware was updated to 7.3.1 as soon as I opened the Airport Utility.
2) The automatic setup wizard in Airport Utility was incapable of extending my current b/g WDS with the Express n. (Green light on but no wifi coming from the new Express n).
3) I've tried countless times to reset and manually reconfigure the new Express n as "remote" in the WDS configuration panel and connect it to either my "main" Express (b/g) or the "relay" Express (b/g). Both "main" and "relay" Expresses (b/g) were also configured to extend WDS to the new "remote" Express n. I've tried to scrupulously follow instructions found in other posts/discussion forums on how to do that.
4) I then tried to make the new Express n as the "main" base station in the WDS. I could successfully connect it to the Internet (Express n connected to broaddand modem via ethernet) and receive wifi from it, but it was impossible to establish a working WDS with my other two b/g Expresses, both reconfigured as "relay" and "remote" in the WDS (again using the instructions from people who succeeded in having both b/g and n units in the same WDS).
5) Adding to all the difficulties in configuring, hard-reseting and reconfiguring each Express, I would very often be in a situation where Airport Utility only sees 1, 2 or none of my 3 Expresses. Rebooting my Mac was the only thing that enabled me to see them again.
6) After about 7 hours trying to figure out how to work this thing without any good results, I've decided to call out for help. In my situation, there seems to be an intrinsic incompatibility between older b/g Express and the newer Express n, at least for WDS network setup.
If anyone is in the same situation and has found a solution to the problem your help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Good news everyone: don't despair, there is hope! After nearly 10 hours of configuration, I finally have a WDS with all three AXs (two b/gs and one n). woohoo!
OK, so here's how I did it:
The main idea here was to replace my "relay" b/g AX with the new n AX.
1) The first thing I did was to reconfigure my "main" b/g AX (the one connected to my modem) so that it can transmit to the new n AX: I simply added the Airport ID of my new n AX in the WDS "remotes" list inside the WDS configuration panel of the "main" b/g AX. I then did an Update Reboot on the "main" b/g AX.
2) After that, I did a Hard reset on the new n AX and plugged it near my old "relay" b/g AX. I then went in Airport Utility, scanned for the new n AX and asked the wizard to "Replace an existing Base Station". It gives you a list of all the base stations your computer has interacted with. I selected the old "relay" b/g AX. The wizard then asked to unplug the base station that is going to be replaced. Did that, and then I did an Update Reboot on the newly configured "relay" n AX.
3) I've rechecked the configuration of the new "relay" n AX, and to my surprise, it wasn't exactly the same as the one for my old "relay" b/g AX. Specifically, I had to manually reconfiguring the whole WDS settings. I had to tell it to "Participate in a WDS", re-input the Aiport ID of the "main" AX and also put the Airport ID of the "remote" AX (the old b/g I'd replaced see below - 5) in the "remotes" list. Once that was re-configured, I updated and rebooted.
4) At that point I had wifi coming from: my "main" b/g AX and now my new "relay" n AX. Yeay! that was the first time I had interaction between b/g and n units.
5) I then went to reconfigure the old "relay" b/g AX and set it up as "remote" and connected it via WDS to the new "relay" n AX. Configuring a b/g AX is a piece of cake compared to the newer n AX!
6) I am very happy to report that it all simply works now! All three AXs are happily talking to each other now. Hooray!
I am almost clueless on why performing these specific steps made it work but it did. My reasoning is that by letting Airport Utility automatically configure the n AX with the configuration data of an old b/g AX it might have changed some settings that were too hidden from view when done manually.
Thanks to dchao99 for input, and Mike hang in there. Try to follow my steps, it might also work for you!
Good luck to all of you.

Airport Extreme setup problems on existing WDS network - Please help!

I just bought a Time Capsule and have setup a WDS network for the house. The Airport Express joins the network just fine as a remote WDS device. I cannot get the Airport Extreme (v5.7) to join the same network. It just continues to make a *separate network with the same name* despite the Channel being the same, the WDS being set to remote, and the main ID of the Time Capsule has been put in correctly. In other words, since I setup the airport Express correctly, I cannot figure out for the life of me why the Airport Extreme is not joining correctly.
PLEASE HELP. I've been trying this for 6 hours now and countless total restarts by hard resets of all the equipment.

Hello arthung. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Let's double-check your WDS setup ...
(Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, place the base stations within near proximity of each other during the set up phase, and then relocate them to their desired locations when complete. Also, jot down the AirPort IDs for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS.)
o Perform a "hard" reset on the Time Capsule (TC) and a "hard" reset on the 802.11b/g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS).
Main Base Station Setup - TC
o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the TC.
o Open AirPort Utility.
o Select the TC, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base
Station menu.
o Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
o Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
o Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computer to connect to this base station.
o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of the AX.
o Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
Remote Base Station Setup - AEBS
o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the AX.
o Open AirPort Utility.
o Select the AX, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
o Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
o Enter the AirPort ID of the main base station in the WDS Main field.
o Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.

E3000 and E2000 Wireless Routers on same home network

I would like to use the E3000 as the main Home Router which connects to the Cable Modem where it enters the home. It does not need to be wireless. I then would like to use the E2000 basically as a switch as I bring one of the hard wired connections from the E3000 into my main living area to provide internet connections.
I want to set and use the E2000 as the main wireless router since it is more centrally located in the home.
How do I set this up to work?. When I use Cisco Connection I seem to be able to only see the E3000.
Any suggestions?
Brian

There are two ways to connect two Linksys routers together:
Option 1: Connecting one of the Ethernet ports of the second Linksys router to one of the Ethernet ports of the main Linksys router (Not using DHCP configuration).
By connecting the second router’s Ethernet port to the main router’s Ethernet port, the computers connected to both routers will be on the same LAN IP segment. This will allow sharing of network resources within the network.
Option 2: Connecting Internet port of the second Linksys router to the Ethernet port of the main Linksys router (Using DHCP).
By connecting the second router’s Internet port to the main router’s Ethernet port, it will be easier to identify which router the computers are connected to since they will have different LAN IP segments.

Connecting 3 Airport Extremes. Is WDS the best method?

Hi all,
got an issue with my Aiport Extreme (AE) setup at work. We have 5 floors, and 3 AE on floors ground, first and second.
The current setup is ground is the WDS main with first and second set as WDS Remotes. Ground is connected to our network through Ethernet, as well as the second floor one. (To improve data transfer from our servers to Mac users using the 802.11n protocol.)
So all three AE create and power one wireless network for the staff to us.
PROBLEMS:
*Using Airport Utility I can't always see all three AE.*
*The second floor AE can't seem to see the first floor WDS main AE.*
*Having to reset all three box's on a regular basis.*
Have i set this whole thing up wrong? is there a better way then using WDS?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

""OK the one on the ground floor is the WDS main and the other two are WDS Remotes, i have turned off interface robustness on all 3. However the WDS remotes still have an error message that they cannot see the WDS main Airport Extreme. ""
There's a long laundry list of possible issues when doing this with WDS...and no advantage to using WDS.
My recomendation was, and still is, not to use WDS on Extreme's with "N" capability. If your extreme's look like mac mini's you have the "N" capable one's.
If you look up the documentation for the extreme and focus on "extend a network" only and stay away from WDS, the below considerations may help.
On your main extreme, the one connected to the WAN, you enable "create a wireless network". Do not select participate in WDS.
On your additioanl extreme's you enable "extend a wireless network". During this process, you should be able to select the right drop bar at the end of the network name box and select you network.
When enabling extended a wireless network, all the WDS tabs on the additional extreme's disappear and are no logner configurable.
Now, if you tried to set these up using WDS, you may need to blow away the configs on all the routers individually by selecting the restore defaults option. If you need to start from scratch, the best approach is to turn off all the routers, and turn them on one at a time, restore to factory defaults, then turn off the router until all are reset.
Remember, if you see errors that talk about no ethernet WAN connection's on the additional routers, you are still in WDS mode....once you put the additional routers in extend a network mode, the WAN interface gets turned off.
Also, using an ethernet cable to setup the additional routers makes the process easier....if you go with the ethernet cable route...turn off the aircard.

WDS network and printing

Having probs trying to connect to a HP c5180 on our network...
Setup is 2x Netgear WNR3500 routers, one as a wireless base station, one as a repeater. Printer is connected via ethernet to the repeater (as it's up in our office), and it gets an IP fine, and works fine on an ubuntu desktop.
But... my macbook Pro is having probs. I can't see the printer at all over bonjour no matter if I'm connected to the base or repeater stations, and if I manually add as an IP printer, I initially see it and can send jobs, but then it states the printer is busy and won't print.
Any ideas? Have enabled RIP on the base station, but that made no difference. Also disabled IPv6 on my macbook pro to see if that would work.

PS - FYI, in both situations, the hard-wired AX is set up as WDS main, and the AX connected wirelessly for Airtunes is set up as WDS remote; and connection sharing is set up as "off - bridge mode".
Thanks again for any help.

CALLING ALL EXPERTS - Connected TWO Actiontec Routers to use one as main and second as GUEST

Hello Experts-
I have TWO Actiontec Routers from Fios. I bought the new N one, and I have an old Actiotec that I was previously not using. So here is what I am trying to do...
I'd like to leave Router 1 (the New N router) as my primary router (comes from ONT via cat5 wire NOT Coax) and Set-up the second router off the first to be a guest router. So essentially make it a bridge.
I can't seem to configure it to work correctly.
Can anyone out there give me a step-by-step walkthru on how to configure this second router so I can have them both hooked up, seperate SSID, with one as the Main and the other being the Guest?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
Rob
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm basically wondering how to change the routers IP address and where the Disable DHCP is within the menus.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Rob
To change the IP address of the Local Area network choose:
My Network
Network Connections
Click edit on the row for "Network (Home/)office"
On the next screen click Settings
On the next screen you can change the LAN (192.168.1.1) address to something different.
On the same screen you can disable DHCP too.
I hope this helps.
