Connecting two networks at home

I have my verizon dsl wireless router connected downstairs and it is hooked up to my wii so I may watch movies, etc. Upstairs at my office I have my computers and printers and none have wireless capability. So the problems is how do I connect my computers and printer at my office to the internet? I am assuming that I can not connect them to another dsl router and plug that into the telehone jack! That is, I can not have more than one dsl modem connected to the telephone line. The other option I am thinkig is if there was a wirelsss switch then I can connect my office equipment to the wirelss switch and then have that linked to my dsl router via the wirelss network. The problem is that I am unable to find a wireless switch. Can I make a wirelss router into a wirelss switch? How? Don't all routers assume that the uplink is hardwired and not wireless??
Please help!

It's called a Wireless Ethernet bridge (also sometimes called a "gaming adapter" or "wireless ethernet converter"). Has one or more ethernet ports on it and acts as a wireless "client" connecting to an upstream wireless access point (i.e. your router).
Your other option is "power line" networking. You use them in a pair -- one end is usually a 4-port switch (where you plug in your client systems) and then other is a single port ethernet (which you plug into the router).

My home screen is quite simple.
Messaging - which should not need updates
Camera shortcut - no update there
Calendar - as above
Maps - set to internal GPS only, so should not ask.
Clock - no updates
Images shotcut
WLAN wizard
Converter shortcut.
I can't see any reason for any of these to ask to go online. Have I missed something?
Should I remove them all and add one at a time to see which is causing the issue?

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.

Connecting two networks.

I am trying to connect two similar networks. I am not sure if this is possible or not.
My network has cable internet access through a Airport Extreme wireless router to a hub that connects to all of my devices (iMac, Xbox 360, TiVo, Win XP computer). The other network also connects to the internet through a cable modem and has a linksys wireless router. My iMac connects to my network through ethernet and the second network wirelessly.
I can connect to either network separately. I would like to be able to transfer files and print to the other network while simultaneously logged on my network and accessing the internet through my modem.
Is this possible? If so what do I need to do?
Thanks,
Scott

It is possible, but what would really be the point? For the possibility, you could simply have one network connected via ethernet cord, and the other network be strictly wireless. The only reason to even have two networks would be bandwidth issues, which you would want to have your non-computer (but internet reliant) on one network, and then have your computers connect through the other network. Transferring files between two networks at the same time wouldn't be the most efficiant method, simply having both computers connected via ethernet would be by far more effeciant.
Airport Extreme/Express is limited to 54 MBps realitivly. You would get much better speeds via ethernet. If your trying to get more data faster by transferring via ehternet and airport, then you may want to keep in mind that speeds are also limited to hard drive speeds.
In short, its pretty over-kill.

Connecting two networks with two internet connections

Hi All
The situation is this. Two firms situated next door to each other and linked by their businesses and by their family ties, wish to connect their two networks together. They both have internet connections. The reason is for security, in the event of one internet going down they can use the other one.
As I see it, we could use a wireless bridge/repeater to connect the two ethernets together, turn off DHCP in both networks, and manually configure the IP addresses on one network to say 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.100 and set the gateway as the router address in that network, again manually allocated. Then on the other network set the scope to 192.168.1.101 to 192.168.1.200 with the router on that network set in this range.
In the event of failure of one internet connection, it would just require the gateway to be changed for those pcs to access the router on the other network. I know of a little program which would do that automatically.
Would this work? If so which Linksys equipment would I need to bridge the two networks. I know some equipment will do the bridging and allow wireless clients to connect, so that would be useful, I know it slows it down by half, but this might be acceptable.
Will there be other problems rearing their ugly heads which I haven't considered.
The networks are not large, so manual IP configuration is not a problem.
Thanks

I presume both networks are using wireless connections. If you can see your neighbour's network on your computer and vice versa, all you need is the passphrase to connect. You may have to disable filter mac address in your router.

Connecting two networks to one sap server

Hi There,
Is it possible to connect to seperate networks to one SAP Server ?
The server does have a spare network card
Regards
George

Yes it should be easy if all devices have wifi. The iMac will have, hopefully the router has, but does the eMac? Do eMac's have wifi built in?
If the router is wifi it'll have a wifi password, normally WPA, WPA/2 or WEP, either on the documentation or on a sticker on the bottom of the router. Turn wifi on on the Macs and they should see the network, type the password when prompted and they should connect.
If the eMac doesn't have wifi you could connect to the router via an ethernet cable and it should be seen on the network.

Can wicd simultaneously connect two networks via different interfaces

hi, recently, I installed wicd. I am tired for figuring out of NetworkManager stuff.
however, for same reasons, I could not configure my ethernet and wireless interface at the same time.
for example, in my case, I have enp0s25 and wlp3s0 interfaces. however, wicd only allow me to connect one at a time. especially when I connected enp0s25 via wicd-curses, it actually disabled the wlp3s0. (the interface is set down by wicd, but I still can see the available network, very strange)
is there a way to deal with that ?

Wicd is kinda strange, it usually picks the wired over the wireless (and there is an option for that). You can get it, by allowing wicd to connect wirelessly, and manually dhclient the eth0 interface. Netctl can help in this allowing both interfaces to go without manual intervention. The only difference is you won't be roaming like you can in wicd.

Connect to two networks, ethernet(LAN w/o internet), wireless(w/ internet)

so i'm trying to connect to two networks, a wireless and a wired one
the wireless(which connect to an access point) is a network which allows me to connect to internet, and the wired(regular router) one is a small home local network, which does not connect to internet.
if i just have the wireless one on, unplug/disable wired one, i can connect to internet just fine, but if i do plug in ethernet cable, then all of the sudden i can't connect to internet anymore.
in my Network Coonections window, it does show that the wireless one has "Access to Network and Internet" while the wired one has "Access to Network only". I'd assume that the computer is smart enough to find its way to internet, but apparently not.
is there a way to set a preference, so vista tries to find internet conncetion thru wireless first, before go on to the wired network?
I konw this is technically possible, because on my mac, i can set in such way that it takes certain connection first
thanks in advance

I think I am getting it but still no joy.
On the WiFi connection to FIOS Router I have manually set metric to 1.
On Same PC in Ethernet I have removed gateway and set a metric to 10.
Before I did this connection to Internet was very slow when the Ethernet cable plugged in and Interface Enabled. After removing gateway and setting metrics access to Internet AOK.
I have working Homegroup, network printer but no Internet access from Hardwired PC.
Cannot ping FIOS router @ 192.168.1.1 from hardwired PC. Destination host unreachable.
NMAP Quick Scan 192.168.1.* never sees 192.168.1.1
So, I'm still not routing properly.

No wifi connection with PRE on home network

This should be simple but no one has solved it yet. When I try to access my home network (Linksys router, wifi enabled) the Pre says there are two networks available but neither of them is one I recognize. The SSIDs are not even close to mine. If I try to connect to the strongest one the Pre asks for my password but never accepts anything I give it nor does it act like it's trying to connect. It just does nothing. What's going on here and how do I fix it?

oldbill70 wrote:
First, let me thank you for the quick response. It's most appreciated. The strongest signal is called William, a highly suspect name. My SSID is homenetw, not even close. The other, much weaker signal, is the name of the DSL modem/router that I can't find a way to disable. It's possible there are other routers in the neighborhood but it seems unlikely. If you knew anything about our area you would agree. What's more, I can find nothing in any of the router settings with the value "William." My router is basically a draft N router with G fall back. The fact that the Pre shows a full strength signal leads me to believe it's hitting the right router. What else can you suggest?
Try cycling power to your router (disconnect the power cord for a minute, then reconnect). I'm assuming you're not using any kind of extra security measures in the router - MAC filtering, turned broadcasting of your SSID off, or have some kind of network monitoring software that could block addition of any new device to the network?
Have you tried resetting the phone? From page 182 of the Pre User Guide for Sprint:
Restart Your Phone
If an application freezes, first try restarting your phone. No files or settings are changed when
you restart.
1. Open Device Info .
2. Tap Phone Reset Options and tap Restart.
How about switching from Airplane mode off/on?
How about page 233 concerning connecting to a secure network that isn't displayed? That might help.

Hi. I have a MacBook Pro with OS10.6.8 and cannot get internet pages to load on my WiFi network at home. My iMac, iPhone and iPad all work on this network. It is connected to the net as dropbox registers a connection and so does skype. I can connect to the WiFi in work and on other networks when travelling. However, some other networks are now starting to fail. Can anyone suggets how I can fix it, as the MBP appears to be fine, its updated with all the latest versions of software and the WiFi network is also fine....just not with my MBP??

Can I connect two apple tv on same network and same apple ID at a time ?

Can I connect two apple tv on same network and same apple ID at a time ?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Yes you can do all that without needing to keep plugging things in and out. You will still need to manually turn on the receiver and turn down the volume from the tv though.

Why can't Apple TV's and iOS devices see home sharing on my Windows 7 computer when iTunes libraries on other computers on the same network and connected to the same Home Sharing can?

I have never previously had any problems with Home Sharing, I have always found it to be completely reliable as advertised. I have 2 computers in the house, (one MacBook and one Windows Desktop) connected to the same Home Sharing account, connected to the same BT Home Hub 4. My situation is that I have nearly 2TB of data of which I would like to share with the home wirelessly, in my mind the desktop is the logical place for this to be shared from.
When running, iTunes on this desktop broadcasts to other iTunes libraries, but no other iOS devices or Apple TV's connected to the same Home Sharing account cannot see it.
I have tried turning Home Sharing off, and then turning it back on, closing iTunes, restarting the computer, going to Network and Sharing Centre and unticking IPv6 in the network adapter properties, even completely wiping the computer and reinstalling Windows 7.
One of the Apple TV's in the house was recently purchased by my parents with the promise from me that everything would work seamlessly... so far it isn't and I am frustrated that the Apple technology that I have come to rely on isn't working as expected.
One thing that has occurred to me upon writing this is that it is a very large amount of data, and I have not attempted to share this with another computer that is currently working and broadcasting it's Home Share fine.
I am sorry if I have ommitted any important details, any further questions don't hesitate to ask. I would be so grateful of any suggestions, my parents are depending on me.

I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem. The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6. (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

I have a Airport network at home with a Time capsule connected via ethernet cable to modem. Also the network is extended wirelessley with an Airport Extreme. I now wish to add a second Airport extreme but am considering a hard wire connection with 100 ft of cat 6 cable from the Time capsule to the second Airport extreme.

I now wish to add a second Airport extreme but am considering a hard wire connection with 100 ft of cat 6 cable from the Time capsule to the second Airport extreme.
Excellent plan.
Can my network operate properly to extend the network with both a wireless and wired extend functionallity?
Yes, but don't get confused about the second AirPort Extreme, as it would not be configured to "extend" a wireless network.....it would be configured to "create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, security settings and password as the Time Capsule network. Configure the second Extreme in Bridge Mode.
This Apple support document will show you how to hookup and configure the second AirPort Extreme:
