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,

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.

  • Connecting WAG320N to E4200 via Wireless Bridge

    I'll preface this by stating I don't know networking in depth, so please excuse my ignorance, with the questions I'm asking.
    I purchased a WAG320N and E4200 and have manged to get the modem connected to the internet and it's running fine in that respect, with no adjusting done to the settings.My intentions are to connect the WAG320N to the E4200 wirelessly, as they are in seperate rooms in the house and have done a similar setup in the past with a 7300G Billion Modem and WRT54GL. 
    With the E4200 I quickly discovered there was no bridge mode out of the box, but checking these forums got the indication that the firmware updates added this capability, so updated it..I entered the IP Address of the Router, the Subnet mask of the network and the Default Gateway / Modem router IP address into the fields, following this guide, but have not been able to get the computers to contact one another, nor ping the other devices. 
    Is there something I'm doing wrong here? I'm sure there is something I've overlooked, as it's a different setup to the last one I had. Please help .

    The E4200 does not connect wireless to other access points. You must connect it with a cable.
    It only supports a wired bridge mode but not wireless.

  • 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.

  • Connecting Two Airport Express Via Ethernet

    I have a unique situation in which I would like to connect two airport express via ethernet. Here is the situation: I can connect the first AX directly to the internet and set up a WDS for the second AX. Unfortunately, the second AX signal does not reach where I need it to go. I can run an ethernet cable between the two. Is this setting valid for a WDS? Or does the WDS have to be wireless? If I can set up the WDS using an ethernet, will the relay AX broadcast the internet wirelessly then?
    Are there any specific settings I should know about?
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks in advance,
    Debbie

    I currently have an old snow basestation at this location. Can I plug an ethernet cable into it and connect it to the AX?
    Yes that will work.
    My understanding was that the older basestation could not do this?
    I think you have it confused with extending a network wirelessly. That is not possible with the snow AirPort base station (ABS).

  • 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:

    DSE 1. Thank you for your reply and for the suggested URL. I will look there and see what it has to offer.
    The routers have not been selected yet. Suggestions would be appreciated. I may buy new routers or I may be able to use routers from systems that are to be discontinued. They will be Wireless ADSL Modem Routers.
    I will also look into your suggestion to use one of the routers as a wireless repeater bridge.

  • 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.

  • Mini can't connect to the internet via ethernet bridge

    I installed a Netgear WGPS606 (It's a print server and wireless ethernet bridge) on my home wireless network. Here's the Configuration: DSL connected through a Linksys BEFSR41 DSL/Cable router with 4 port switch. My Graphite Airport base station connects to one of the ports on the switch, and it serves the wireless computers on the network. The WGPS606 is connected wirelessly to the Airport Base station. I have a MacMini connected to one of the ethernet ports on the WGPS606. The Mini successfully gets its IP address from the DHCP server on the Airport. (Interestingly, the Airport's DHCP server is configured to provide addresses for airport clients, not ethernet clients, but it does provide an IP address for the Mini -- I assume because the mini is connected through the wireless bridge.) I can see and connect to the Mini via the local network, but the Mac Mini cannot connect to the internet.
    Any clues?
    Mark

    Never mind. I gave up on the Netgear print server and bought a second AirPort Express and set up a WDS network. Everything works like a charm. That's the last time I waste nearly a day of my time to save $30 bucks on a piece of hardware.

  • Connecting MacBook to printer via wireless network

    I have a wireless network via cable modem with some PCs attached and a printer but am having trouble connecting my new MacBook to the HP LaserJet 2100 printer via wireless. I do not have airport express and not sure I need it to have the MacBook print to this printer. Please advise.

    Hi topgunner,
    How is the printer connected? Are you trying to share it via a PC through wireless? Or is it connected directly to a router/hub that is enabled for printer sharing?

  • Why can't I connect to my 3520 via wireless?

    I have a HP Deskjet 3520, and I am running on Windows 7/64 bit. 
    I have been able to setup my printer through the USB, and I have been able to get my printer connected to the same network, and have setup e-print even. However, I cannot connect to my printer via the wireless, and my iphone cannot detect it through the e-print app.
    I have tried turning odf firewalls, re-installing, turning of every part of the chain (ie laptop, printer, router...)
    I even tried to connect through my MacBook, and still, I can only "see" it through the USB, even though the printer has an IP address and is able to receive documents through e-print.
    Is this a known issue? 

    Printer does not maintain wireless connection.

  • Can I connect two actiontec mI424wr via coax?

    I have a new addition in my home, with an home entertainment area with poor reception from my current actiontec router.   I have acquired a second Actiontec off eBay that I want to connect to my coax in the new addition so I can add some "wired" ethernet connections to the xbox, sling, blu-ray etc.   I have seen many posts about a MOCA bridge, but I am not sure that is really what I a trying to do.   I have an existing Actiontec, that is controlling the menus and VOD for my TV service.   I just want to connect the second router via coax so I have faster and reliable internet in this new addition as well.   Help!  I am somewhat technically savvy, and can follow config instructions, but not a networking expert.     Thanks.

    The MoCA bridge is exactly what you want.   While you can reconfigure the second ActionTec to essentially act as a MoCA bridge (there are links here on the forum as well as DSLreports on how to do it), I would encourage you to just go with the bridge as it's much simpler (there is no configuration required).
    Simply install the MoCA bridge (ActionTec HME2200/ECB2200) and connect it to an active Coax connection in your addition.  It will pair with the primary ActionTec router elsewhere in the home.   Then, if you have more than one device that needs connected, get a small switch (not router) online -- should run you less than $20 for a 5 or 8 port unit -- and connect it to the MoCA bridge and all of your devices -- again, no configuration required.
    If you decide you really want to use the router instead, you essentially need to disable all of the WAN interfaces (so it doesn't fight with your primary router trying to get an internet address) and then disable the LAN features such as the DHCP server so that it essentially acts as a MoCA bridge with 4 port switch.

  • Connecting two distant servers via a common WAN Internet connection.

    Hi all,
    I have two servers located in two different countries. For example Server A (Windows 2003 with Active directory) is located in Singapore. Another Server B (also Windows 2003 Server with Active Directory) is located in Kuala Lumpur. Both computers are connected to Internet via local ISP (WAN connection with dynamic IP) to respective countries.  There is few local users at each places which are connected to local servers at both places with LAN.
    I would like to connect these two servers togather via WAN (Internet- may be tunnelling, VPN, I don't know much what are other technologies) My objective is to connect both Server A and Server B so that I can keep track of active directory information, user management and authentication. Please let me know how can I achieve that? What are needed and what configuration and addition device, server needed. Please give me simple, detailed cost effective methods.
    Thanks.

    First you want to get static IP's and then you can setup an IPSEC tunnel or site to site VPN.  Then you will want to creat a trust between the 2 domains if they are in different forests.  Then you can add your user account to a universal group (forest functional level must be at Server 2003 level) for enterprise management.

  • Connect to PC Companion via Wireless

    Hi everyone, I have a SE XPERIA X10. I don't use PC Companion often enough just because, whenever I want to connect to my pc, I need to get the micro USB to do that. PC Companion offers connection via wireless for only 4 phones (3 models). XPERIA Arc, Play and neo. Why won't they do that for all XPERIA phones? Not even for X10 (which was much more expensive that Arc!). They all do offer wireless connection and  can't seem to find the reason they won't let you connect that way. Any suggestions? Do the guys at SE ever see these posts and questions? Do they ever answer?

    I know you do and I hate it (having to disconnect the USB from my charger each time I wonna connect to my PC). I just wish they improve it at least with the possibilities the And.2.3 will have. Maybe they 'll add it up the
