EA6300 and Another Router

I have a 6300 router configured and setup.  It is working good. This is my main router. Most of the devices in my house, connect to this router.   This router ONLY provides limited information such as which device is "online" and "offline".   Also, this router provides basic network information.  This router may be suitable for some people but doesn't give me the overall picture I need in my house. 
Due to the lack of "realtime" information this router doesn't provide, I would like to add another router.   I am looking at the Skydog router to act as the main router and handle all of the "management" functions.  The Skydog router provides "realtime" information which the EA6300 doesn't give me.  When I speak of "management", I am saying that I need more detail on wireless devices in my house.   I need to know which device is used by which user, how long this user has been "online" and which sites the user has been hitting.   The 6300 router doesn't provide this information.  
Basically, I would like to have the Skydog router be the main router.  The 6300 router would act as an wireless extender. Look at this setup:
Garage (Modem-------Skydog) >>>> Office computers (EA6300 
How do I setup the Skydog router and EA6300 router to play nice together?

Add the ea6300 in a lan to lan configuration.

  • Networking with airport express and another router

    I have an imac and a powermac G5 connected to the internet by ethernet cables going through a router, and i recently bought 2 powerbook G4s and an airport express. the laptops are connected to the internet via the airport express (which is connected to the main router with an ethernet cable), and i can access the internet on all of them. However, i cannot share music or files between all of them, only between the imac and powermac connected by ethernet. The laptops seem to be on different networks, and i cannot share files or music between them or with the imac and powermac. is there a solution to this?

    Absolutely this solution will work - it has worked perfectly for everyone (including myself) that has done this. Likely what you didn't do last time (and which I pointed out you must do) is restart all your wireless computers after making this change on the Airport Express. This forces all wireless computers to renew their IP addresses, which must now come from the cabled router on your network.
    Just to be sure you have explained your setup correctly - please tell me what make/model of router you are using.

  • Possible to simultaneously use time capsule for backup + another router for internet?

    I will soon be moving into an apartment in which my landlord provides wireless internet through her own router.
    I also have my own Time Capsule, which I'd like to continue to use to back up my Mac via Time Machine.
    Is it possible to connect to both my Time Capsule (for backup only) and another router (for internet only) at the same time?
    If not, can anyone suggest a good workaround?

    I've done a little research, and it looks like I might be able to wirelessly daisy chain the two routers, using WDS (wireless distribution system), assuming my landlord's router supports it, but that this would drop the speed of the internet significantly: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2623802?start=0&tstart=0
    It works extremely poorly and the landlord would need to agree to it.. plus it would require use of WEP security which is hackable by children with internet hack kits in about 2min flat. Don't go there. Apple have made their products incompatible with most other routers. So any suggestion of a workaround will involve spending some money on your part.
    You could buy a airport express and plug that into the main router by ethernet.. again if allowed. Your TC can do wireless bridge to another apple product very well. Messy but could work. It is not that expensive to get a second hand AEBS and use that. You don't need the latest products but wireless range would be better in the AEBS than AE.
    So I'm still wondering: Is there another workaround?  Is there a way to get my mac to connect to my time capsule (for backup) and another router (for internet) simultaneously, or is that just technologically impossible?  If it's impossible, is there another solution?
    You cannot wirelessly connect to two different wireless devices at once on one client. You need to either have a second wireless client in the laptop.. for instance a USB stick which can be fairly tiny nowadays. It is just you need to find one with Mac drivers. Or the TC must have internet connectivity. You could get that by buying a wireless bridge, and using that in your room, with the TC plugged into it. Universal wireless bridge devices are fairly cheap, but can be a pain to setup. Look for products that work with the main router and use as fast a speed as possible. It can be a tricky setup as you need the wireless bridge working on one channel and the TC working on another. What I am suggesting is the WDS solution you found but using two different boxes to do it. And not using WDS at all, unless the main router is suitable, but rather universal bridge.
    The hassle of all that suggests to me,, I would go for the wireless stick, so your Mac laptop has two wireless clients.

    I have no idea if this works just to show you what I mean. Please do research it yourself.
    An ethernet connection to the TC is far superior solution albeit would require you to plug and unplug it.

  • EA6300 - Cascading the Linksys router to another router (LAN-LAN) - Does not Bridge built in Wifi AP

    Regarding: 
    http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=3733#
    Cascading the Linksys router to another router (LAN-LAN)
    The Bridge mode function on the EA6300 does not bridge the Wifi AP radio to the network.
    The ethernet ports are bridged, and the router can see network devices and wifi devices connected to itand ping devices in both directions , but Wifi clients connecting to the unit running in bridge mode are not "bridged" to the network.
    ~
    Using the built in webpage of the router, all devices can be pinged.
    Ethernet RJ-45 devices plugged into it can ping the unit and pull up the units config webpage, but not ping wifi clients connected to it.
    Wfii devices connected to its access point radio, can pull up the units config webpage, but not ping ethernet RJ-45 devices connected to it.
    If there is a bridge, then the bridge is broken in half and not functional.
    ~
    All devices are set with IPs on the same subnet,  192.168.2.x
    ~
    I have a Netgear router in Bridge mode, and it works fine, connecting the wifi access point and RJ-45 ethernet clients together like it should be, so I know how Bridge mode... should work...
    But it doesn't on this unit, it is not working completely out the factory door.   It will bridge one Router to another via the RJ-45 ethernet ports, but its own AP radio is no longer bridged and connected (like when running in NAT
    Note that doing cascading  using NAT as described under "Cascading the Linksys router to another router (LAN-WAN)" works fine.

    Hi, 
    There's no WLAN bridge feature on the new Linksys Smart Wifi routers. You might also like to check and review these articles about Bridge Mode:

  • Connecting to mass storage and printers on another router

    I have my wireless router connected to another router that router is connected to the internet. My wireless connection works fine getting to the internet, but I am unable to see the other items connected to the first router. This would be my network printer and mass storage. What can I do?

    Windows uses a protocol called SMB to connect to network shares. You will need to route ports 139, 445, and possibly 137 between the 2 networks. Unless you have a specific reason I would dump the non-wireless router. Having 2 routers is asking for problems and making your network overly complicated.

  • How to setup apple time capsule with FIOSinternet and VZ router?)

    Hello,
    I have Apple time capsule and the VZ Router MI424WR. I current set up:
    1. VZ router - wireless off, the rest is standard
    2. Time capsule: Wireless on in Bridge mode
    Result: Internet works but the wireless network is very in-stable. Airtunes is nearly not usable.
    I searched in the Internet and there was several comments that is is not a good combination. Therefore it is recommended to convert the VZ router in a modem mode and use only the Time capsule as the router. I tried this several times I do not get it to work. I followed this procedure (http://data.agaric.com/node/2160) but then I need the PPPoE Account number and password. But there do I get this? The Verizon support was not really helpful.
    Please, is there a good and complete description to solve that issue?
    Thanks in advance
    Moebius

    Go back to your first setup ...
    Verizon router with wireless turned off
    Apple Time Casule with wireless turned on
    Method 1:
    With the Time Capsule in "Bridge Mode", if I remember correctly, you should connect the WAN port to one of the open ports on the Verizon router (I believe bridge mode also turns off the DHCP server on the Time Capsule, if not, find that and turn if off as well).   Change the addressing mode for the Time Capsule to "static" and assign it an address on the LAN which is not in use (choose something you know is out of the way but on the LAN -- I suggest 192.168.1.180 to start -- you can change it once you get everything working).
    If it doesn't work this way for you, move the cable from the WAN port on the Time Capsule to Port 1 and try again.
    Method 2:
    This results in a router behind a router setup, but unless you have devices connected directly to the Verizon router, it shouldn't be a problem.  
    With the Time Capsule disconnected from the Verizon router, turn on "Connection Sharing" (not bridge mode) and make sure DHCP is enabled on the Time Capsule.  You need to change the address range being used by the Time Capsule (which I think defaults to 192.168.1.x to another network -- I suggest, 192.168.2.x with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and give the router an address of 192.168.2.1 on the LAN side.  Now, connection the WAN port to one of the Verizon router LAN ports.  If you had anything connected to the Verizon LAN ports, move those over to the LAN ports on the Time Capsule and reboot them.
    Method 3:
    This is the least desirable of the scenarios because it relies on Verizon's crappy radio in their router (the Time Capsule has a much better radio and support 802.11n as well as b and g) whereas Verizon's only support b/g.    Go back to the configuration for Method 1, but also turn OFF wireless on the Time Capsule and turn on wireless on the Verizon router.   Try both bridge scenarios described -- using the WAN port first and if that didn't work, then moving the connection to port 1.
    There is no scenario where you can place the Verizon router behind the Time Capsule -- since I believe Verizon is using all MoCA connections for the WAN side of their connection (you'd have to get Verizon to convert you to ethernet WAN and then they would not support you most likely for any STB issues with your FiOS if the Time Capsule was between the ONT and their router ... so don't even bother wasting time there ... more headaches than it would be worth.
    If you're still not sure exactly what each configuration screen on the time capsule should say, post some screen snaps (or the configuration settings/choices which you are unsure about and someone will likely know the answer here).

  • BT Infinity - HG612 and second router question

    Hi,
    I've got an odd question. I have BT Infinity and have the HG612 VDSL modem. Does anyone know if and how it can be configured to bridge its WAN connection to another router? For work I need site-to-site VPN access, which is performed by this other router. Unfortunately it needs to own the WAN address, so I need to configure the HG612 to bridge the address with it. Has anyone does this? Is the HG612 even capable of doing this?
    I can't find any user manuals on it.
    Thanks,

  • Using a WRT54G as a second wireless and wired router on a LAN

    I have setup a WRT54G as a second wired and wireless router on my local LAN.
    The WAN wired side of the WRT54G is setup completely DHCP. It gets IP 192.168.1.104 most of the time. (I have used a PC with DHCP on theis ethernet wire and it gets to the internet OK). 
    The LAN side of the WRT54G is setup as 192.168.20.1 and all wireless and wired devices connecting to it get ips of 192.168.20.xxx and communicate between them selfs perfectly.  However, none of them can get to the internet through the WRT54G.  What have I done wrong?
    Thank You

    I guess your WRT54G is not connected to Internet directly, but it's connected to another router that has Internet access.
    If this is the case, you can configure this device as access point/hub only in order to get Internet access from the other router. Ignore the WAN connection on this WRT54G, just connect both router's LAN port with crossover cable.. After that configure the WRT54G's wireless setting. You can get more detailed info on how to do it in following article:
    Quick Guide to Configure Wireless Router as Access Point

  • Added another router to UC320 W network

    We are currently using a UC320W for our router, phone system, and wireless.  We are wanting to add a device for VPN connections.  I was wanting to find out if we could disable the routing on the UC320 W and just have it on the lan and the wireless as an Access Point?  Basically install another firewall or router in front of it to handle the routing, dhcp, dns, and vpn connections.  Has anybody attempted this?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    We've not found a way to disable the routing on the UC320. What we ended up doing was giving the UC320 its own public IP, then disable the DHCP/DNS options for it and place another router (a pfSense firewall) in parallel with it.

  • Dual Wan and port routing

    Hi,
    I am setting up a configuration with SA520W and 2 Wan, in load balancing. But I face a problem that I could not understand.
    Traffic is HTTP, SIP and 2 servers.
    Servers are for a VPN tunnel and a mail server with ActiveSync
    Both services absolutely need port 443 on the external IP, and that's one of the dual wan reason.
    The 2 wan are running, load balancing mode is enable and NAt routing in firewall tab as follow :
    443  Enabled     WAN     LAN     ALU_OpenVPN     ALLOW always     Any         192.168.0.150     WAN1     Always    
    443   Enabled     WAN     LAN     ActiveSync     ALLOW always     Any         192.168.0.254     WAN2     Always 
    If load balanced
    Port 443 is NOT routed from wan1 to 192.168.0.150
    Port 443 is routed from wan2 to 192.168.0.254
    If only WAN 1
    Port 443 is routed  from wan1 to 192.168.0.150
    If only WAN 2
    Port 443 is routed  from wan2 to 192.168.0.254
    In fact I did other testing and no port routing with WAN1 when load balancing is enable, even on port that is not used at all on Wan2.
    With a FTP filezilla server, it's OK if on wan2, and it stop before logging if on a wan1 (on laod balancing, ok on both case if only one wan)
    Firmware : latest 2.1.18
    Any Clue ??

    Hello,
    I confirm, there is a strange behaviour.
    Simple test :
    Dual Wan configured.
    A FTP server on the LAN (192.168.0.254) port 21
    Firewall , ipv4 config :
    WAN   to   LAN     FTP     ALLOW always     Any         192.168.0.254     WAN1
    WAN   to   LAN     FTP     ALLOW always     Any         192.168.0.254     WAN2
    Then some testing using a FTP client outside the LAN, connection from Internet.
    Then, changing ONLY the Wan Mode :
    1/ Use only single WAN port : Dedicated WAN
    ==> FTP connect through WAN1
    2/ Use only single WAN port : Optional WAN
    ==>FTP connect through WAN2
    3/ Load Balancing
    ==>FTP connect through WAN1
    ==>FTP DO NOT connect through WAN1
    Is that a bug or do I have some strange stuff somewhere ?
    I will pick up another SA520W from stock, brand new, update the firmware, configure the 2 WAN (invering the 2 provider just in case) and do the same test.

  • A bridge? A switch? Another router?

    I had a internet modem connected via ethernet cable to a Linksys router (the wireless ability had been deactivated) and then I ran from the Linksys one ethernet cable to one Apple Express (N) and another ethernet cable to another Apple Express (b/g for some G3 Macs). The internet stopped working so I plugged the modem directly into the N Apple Express. I guess I need to get rid of the Linksys. What should I get to replace it so I can run the N and the B/G Apple Expresses again? A bridge? A switch? Another router?
    Thanks,
    P.Hyland

    When you plugged your Express devices into the Linksys router, did you first configure them to act as a "bridge"?. In other words, the Connection Sharing setting in AirPort Utility must be set to "Off (Bridge Mode).
    You would need to do this for both Express devices as follows:
    Open Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon at the top of the setup page
    At the bottom of the next page, look for the setting for Connection Sharing. This must be set to "Off (Bridge Mode) whenever the device is plugged into a router.
    Chances are, your Linkys is fine and the Express devices were not correctly configured to connect to the Linksys. If you connected the Expresses to your old Apple router (I'm assuming it has LAN ethernet ports as well), they will be configured the same way. So, whether you use the Linksys or the Apple, configure your Express devices as above.
    So, your network will look like this:
    Modem > Router > Express Devices > Computers can connect by wireless or they can connect by ethernet to the Router.

    And we use port 26 on 2 switches SF300-24 is trunk mode then we connect both SF300-24 switches.
    But on SF300-24 layer 2 cann't inderstand VLAN from Sf300-24 layer 3!!!
    Could you please help me check this situation?
    How to config VLAN on 2 switches SF300-24 Layer 3 and SF300-24 layer 2?
    Thanks!
    See you soon!

    Son Nquyen,
    First i would upgrade to 1.1.8 since the 1.0.0.27 was beta code.
    Next when when connecting both switches together each port will need set via Trunk mode with proper native vlan and tagged vlan traffic. What's the configuration of your trunk ports on each switch?

  • Apple TV as bridge and/or router??

    I've been running a 160g ATV without incident for quite some time now. My main system is upstairs in the office (where my cable modem is) with an airport express as my router. ATV is downstairs in the living room, syncs wirelessly when necessary, and has no problem connecting to YouTube & movie previews, etc. I just purchased an XBox 360 and am wondering if, via the ethernet slots, I can connect it to the ATV in order to access the Xbox Live functions? As much as I'd like to buy another airport, I'd prefer to not have to use another router in this situation. Anyone try this yet?

    P Mo Dee wrote:
    The quick answer to that would be because I'd rather not spend the extra cash if I didn't have to. Since "Wireless Networking" is part of the ATV's specs, seems to me that this would be a no brainer. If I do need to get an additional router, I think I'd rather just get another airport express.
    the ATV has a standard wireless card in it. it's not meant to be a router or wifi access point or anything else.
    you also won't need to get any other router. if your current router has wifi, then just spend the money on the xbox360 wifi module. it should be cheaper than buyer another router.

  • AEBS and Second Router - can't browse network

    I have an AEBS (Gigabit version) connected to another Router (Netgear DGND3700). This, in turn, is connected to a cable modem. So the setup is:
    Internet > Cable Modem > DGND3700 > AEBS
    The Netgear router acts as the DHCP server to the network and the AEBS connects on one of the LAN ports. The AEBS is set up as Ethernet in the Internet Connection section in Bridge Mode.
    If I connect to the AEBS either wired or wifi, I can see all other devices connected to the AEBS in Finder and if I click on any, I can browse shared folders and/or screen sharing. If I connect to the Netgear router I can see the devices in Finder but cannot connect to them. I suspect it's something to do with internal routing but I can't find a setting on either device where this may being blocked.
    Anyone got any suggestions what I'm missing or what I might try ?
    Thanks in advance.

    More info. I've tried ping'ing devices connected to the AEBS when I'm connected to the Netgear and can't get a response. Same for a traceroute (obviously). It's like the routes aren't being presented for the local network. I can access the internet fine though.
    Puzzled !!
