Connecting two EA2700 routers (wireless) and enable LAN connection on both

Hi all,
I have just bought two EA2700 routers, and I simply cannot perform the setup.
I have the first router connected to the modem, and need the secon router to connect to the first through wireless to extend the range. Secondly, I want to enable LAN connection from the second router to e.g. a computer, PS4 etc.
After having spend a lot of time on searching for at guide, I have given up... I really hope, that you are able to help me on this matter.
Thanks a lot in advance..

Hello Acsadac. Are you setting up the 2nd EA2700 to act as a range extender (wirelessly connected to the 1st EA2700)? If you are, then it's not possible. You can do one of two things, though.
1. LAN to LAN. Configure the 2nd EA2700 as a switch. This will act akin to a range extender (for both wired and wireless connections) but you'll be using a long ethernet cable.
2. LAN to WAN. Configure it as a secondary router. This way, you have 2 separate wireless networks in one connection. Again, you will need a long ethernet cable for this kind of setup.
Here's a link on how to configure the 2 EA2700s:

  • Connecting two RV082 routers back to back

    I'm looking for instructions on how to setup and connect two RV082 routers together with a crossover cable between their WAN ports.
    This is to connect two separate LANS together via an ethernet connection. For staging we are setting everything up with a crossover cable in our shop.  Ultimately the crossover cable will be replaced by a microwave link between the two LANS several miles apart.  There will be no internet connection.

    Switches would have been a good alternative except we needed 8 ethernet ports, so 16 port swirtches would have been required.  So the cost is about the same in this situation for 8 port routers.
    We have the system working properly now.
    This is what we did:
    On both routers in "Setup: Advanced Routing"  switch from "gateway" to  "router" , enable RIP and set RIP versions for transmit and receive to  RIPv1.
    In "Firewall", disable Firewall
    Then in "Setup: Network" make the following settings;
    Router 1:
    WAN1 IP to static       static      192.168.10.5           with subnet mask of                     255.255.255.252
    LAN IP           to                     192.168.1.1                     with subnet mask of                     255.255.255.0
    Router 2:
    WAN1 IP to static      static     192.168.10.6           with subnet mask of                     255.255.255.252
    LAN IP to                     192.168.2.1                     with subnet mask of                     255.255.255.0
    With these settings, devices connected to router 1 may have static  addresses in range of 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.254 and should have  default gateway set to 192.168.1.1
    Devices connected to router 2 may have static addresses in range of 192.168.2.2 through 192.168.2.254
    and should have default gateway set to 192.168.2.1
    Experts may have some comments to make about firewall settings an so forth but this setup does what we want it to do.

  • I cant connect to my router wirelessly but I can connect...

    I cant connect to my router wirelessly but I can connect directly, Is there anything I can do about this?

    does the wired computer get an ip address from the router ?? check whether it pings the router's ip add ( default ip add - 192.168.1.1 )

  • Connecting two EA6500 routers via wireless bridge

    Hi, I want to know how can we bridge two EA6500 routers via wireless. I do not want to use the lan cable. Please help.
    Thanks,
    anandp

    This setup is not possible. You can only cascade the routers via wired connection. The access points on these routers are mainly transmitters, they're not receivers so you can't associate them wirelessly. You can, however, get a wireless bridge to do the job. Check out the Dual Band N Entertainment Bridge WET610N and Wireless N Universal Media Connector WES610N.

  • 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!

    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.

  • Issues with FIOS modem/router's wireless and multiple devices connected to the WLAN?

    I am an IT consultant who was assisting someone with getting some devices connected to the fios wireless router and adding a wireless print server so they could print wirelesly. 
    I was having difficulty with one of their systems that was connected prior to me going on site.
    It was having difficulty obtaining an IP from the WLAN, i tried reinstalling the adapter, removing stored wlan settings and setting it up again, etc.
    When it did obtain an IP it could not ping the router.
    I had left it suggesting that they replace the wireless adapter on that system.
    However they're saying that after they shut down one of their other devices that i had connected (a netbook), that this problematic system started working fine.
    It makes no sense that a wireless client would have an impact on another wireless client. We're only talking 4 total devices here, a netbook, a laptop, a wireless print server and a desktop in another area of the house that has a usb wireless adapter.
    Does anyone have any ideas on if Verizon's wireless built in to the fios modem/router just isn't too good to handle multiple wireless devices?
    After hearing this i was thinking they might have been better off configuring the fios router as a bridge and getting a better wireless router or shutting off the fios supplied wifi and implementing a wireless access point instead of using the router/modem that verizon provides.

    By bridge I mean in the sense you see some of the early DSL setups configured before they started using multiport routers -- essentially bridging the WAN MoCA port to the LAN ethernet.   The ActionTEC's won't do that.   This is what I think most are seeking to do when they want to turn the device into a "bridge" (essentially making the Verizon unit "transparent" to the communication which in this scenario it can't be).  You can do as suggested an turn the ActionTEC into essentially a "switch/bridge" that is only bridging the MoCA LAN and Ethernet LAN segments, but this then requires you to have an ethernet WAN feed from the ONT ... and as indicated, it is definitely not a "supported" configuration from Verizon (although there is nothing "wrong" with doing it this way if you are comfortable with networking and understanding the mechanics of all that is going on -- if not, sticking with a supported configuration is highly advisable).

  • Problems connecting a Officejet 7310 wirelessly and via ethernet cable

    My printer (a Officejet 7310) is connected to two PC's via a router and ethernet cable. I now wish to install a laptop as well.
    I know the lap top is communicating with the router wirelessly, but I cannot get the laptop to recognise that there is a printer installed.
    I have tried connecting the printer directly (via an Ethernet cable) to the laptop and this works fine. I have downloaded the latest software for the 7310 and utilised both options (wireless and cable).
    Any help would be most appreciated.

    OK, great, I have a much better understanding now.  Thanks.
    Do you have an antivirus program?  Does it have a firewall?  If so, disable it to test.
    Print a network test from the front of the printer to obtain its IP address.  Type that IP address into a browser to see if you can contact the printer.

  • Macbook Pro can connect to Belkin N1 wireless, and says ISP and everything is fine, but I cannot seem to access the internet?

    Hey everyone, I've been experiencing this problem for a very long time, my Macbook Pro has a lot of trouble connecting to my Belkin N1 wireless, however, when I sit far away from the router I seem to be able to connect and use the internet, though I have a lot of 'System Timeout' and have to reboot my wireless. After we moved houses, my room is extremely near the wireless, and before the Belkin was formatted with a password, I was able to use the internet without a problem. However, now I can connect to the wireless, and Network Diagnostics tells me that everything is good to go, however, I just can't seem to use the internet. No pages will load, I've tried everything changing proxies, looking through my security certificates and tried using IP addresses instea of website names and nothing seems to work.
    I've gone to the store and have always been dismissed, with the excuse that Belkin is just not compatible my Macbook. I'm not technologically savvy, but I can follow instructions.
    Thank you in advance!

    Hello blinchikis. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Which Belkin model do you have? Are you running wireless encyption, WEP or WPA? If so, if you temporarily disable encryption, can you connect your iBook to the Internet now? How about if you connect your iBook, directly using an Ethernet cable?

  • I cannot find the 'WPA passphrase' to connect my printer via wireless and cannot find it in Airport utility (MAC says it cannot find any open airports)

    MAC OS X 10.6.3 - desktop Mac
    I browsed similar questions and saw that someone recommended going to the Airport Utility and then selecting manual set up or something- anyways, it could not find any airports. I have brought my printer from my house as my BF's has died - this is the first time it's asked for a WPA passphrase. We tried a very long series of capital letters and numbers as well as the password for the internet and both times the printer said "invalid passphrase"..... ......

    Airport Utility is for administration of genuine Apple Base Stations. If you have a different Brand, Airport Utility can do nothing for you.
    I think they're using ethernet.
    To connect a Printer via Ethernet, no password is needed.
    We already tried the password for the internet and that did not work...
    If a password is required to connect to the Internet, then WiFi is likley being used, and that WiFi password is the one needed for the Printer connect wirelessly as well.
    What make&model Printer? Is it indeed a Wireless Printer? Most connect via USB, but that would force it to use a specific computer to assist in printing.

  • Can I use both Wifi and a Lan connection at the same time?

    With me back in the dorms I have been limited to a slower connection than what I would like. Now we are able to use both Wifi and a Lan line so I was wondering to somewhat "double" my speed if there was any way to use both connections at the same time.
    Now I know that you can have both plugged in at the same time, I guess what I'm asking is, is there a way that I could set programs to use one or the other? Or some kind of virtual desktop that is set to use the other connection or anything that would allow both be used at the same time.
    Or am I just wishing for something that doesn't have any possible way to work?

    You can use both at the same time, but not gor Internet access if that's what you're asking.
    Now there is a thing called Link Aggregation, which combines a number of interfaces for speed/redundancy, but it really only works locally, and then only with ALL special equipment in the route, and most likely OSX Server involved.

  • I appear to have two separate Apple IDs and have purchased music under both.  Is there any way to consolidate the accounts into one?

    I appear to have two separate Apple IDs and to have purchased music under both of them (one is my husband's email account, the other is mine).  Is there a way to consolidate them, or is it possible to make the purchases made under two separte IDs downloadable on the same device(s)?

    Not at this time. There is no way to merge two Apple IDs or be signed into the iTunes Store with more than one Apple ID at a time on an iOS device. However, you can USB sync the music to more than one device at a time, no problem. As long as all the music is on the same computer.
