Extending my home wireless

Hi, I have a question and hope to get from help from the experts here. I have a existing setup of a wireless router. I have some equipment that needs to have wired connection but they are too far from the existing wireless router. So I am looking into the following setup as shown in the link in this post. http://www.flickr.com/photos/41342038@N07/10550454294/ May I know is this setup possible (with a network switch connected to the access point/repeater/extender) and if yes, what hardware do I need to purchase for the access point/repeater/extender? Thanks in advance.

Yes, that is possible.
You may check this link for the WES610N wireless bridge as an example. Just make sure you are getting a good signal from the router to the location where you wanted to place the Wireless Bridge.
In case you have a low signal in the 2nd location, you may want to check Powerline devices which is also good. A friend of mine used this kind of set up. Just make sure the location is in the same electrical circuit. Otherwise, it will not work.
I hope that helps.

  • Extending home wireless network with 802.11b/g Airport Expresses

    Home Setup: iMac with iSight G5 2.1GHz PPC, OS X Leopard 10.5.8, 2.5GB memory, 2 Airport expresses-802.11b/g.
    Up to just recently, I was able to use my AE's to create a whole house wireless network: one as my main network connected to my cable modem, and the other as a wireless network extender. My extender got pulled out one day accidentally, and when I went to plug it in it wouldn't reconnect to my network...and so the problems began. Airport Utility used to give the option of "Extending the Wireless Network", but no more.
    I've done a lot of searching through the forums regarding this issue, read through the sage advice by superusers Tesserax and Bob Timmons, and attempted to set up my main AE as my "WDS Main" AE and the other as my "WDS Remote". The WDS main connects fine to the internet, but the WDS remote continues to show a flashing amber light and inability to extend my wireless network. I've done soft and hard resets to the remote AE (which transiently gives me a green light, then back to flashing amber), network diagnostics using the Airport utility, but still no luck. The AE wireless extender continues to flash amber and is nonfunctional.
    AE Wireless extender settings reported:
    -WIreless Mode: Create a wireless network
    -Connect using: Ethernet
    AE Errors reported:
    -Ethernet Unplugged
    -Default Settings
    I setup the AE Wireless extender as a WDS Remote, it resets and shows "Normal" without problems reported in the summary window of Airport Utility. Connection indicated as "Airport (WDS)" and Wireless Mode reads "participate in a WDS network", but the AE is still flashing amber and will not connect to the internet or Main WDS wireless network.
    Went to the Genius Bar at the local mac store...they couldn't help at all.
    I'm out of answers...help?!

    There are basically two "flavors" of WDS that the AirPorts support: static & dynamic.
    o A static WDS allows for a main, relay, and remote base stations in the configuration. This only operates in the 802.11g radio mode. Its advantage is it is well suited when you are trying to cover a considerable linear range ... like a rectangular house where the Internet connection comes in at one of the shorter sides and you want wireless at the other end. The biggest disadvantage of this type of WDS is that for every base station added, you lose half the overall bandwidth.
    o A dynamic WDS allows for only a single main and multiple remotes. Think of a wheel with the main at the center and the remotes as spokes of the wheel. The advantage of this type of WDS is it operates in the 802.11n radio mode and doesn't suffer a significant bandwidth loss like the static version.
    As a minimum, a dynamic WDS requires two 802.11n AirPorts (or Time Capsules). You can create a static WDS with either all 802.11g AirPorts or a mix of 802.11n & 802.11g AirPorts. Note; however, you cannot create a dynamic WDS with mixed mode base stations.

  • Trying to extend a second wireless network...

    Hello,
    I am trying to extend a secondary wireless network in my home. I have a **** wireless n router, 2 Airport Expresses and a Time Capsule. All Apple components are wireless n. I want to have a network being broadcast by the ****, a second network being broadcast from an Airport Express with internet from a ethernet connection from the ****, extend the Airport Express network with the time Capsule and share an internet connection with a gaming console via one of the Time Capsule's ethernet ports. Is this possible? I am a total n00b with DNS and all the IP address stuff the setup assistant is asking me for. Any help would be great. Thanks!

    Looks like Apple censored (d*link).
    I'm guessing that misspelled the name and left out the 'l'.

    Yes that is possible.
    If your AirPort Express (AX) is one of the new 802.11n models, configure the AX to allow itself to be extended. Then configure the Time Capsule to extend the network provided by the AX.
    If your AX is not 802.11n capable, configure the AX to act as a WDS main base station. Configure the Time Capsule to act as a WDS remote base station.

  • Extending my Linksys Wireless Network with AirPort Express

    I would like to add an Airport Express to my wireless network to extend my wifi range and add AirPlay to my home theater system.  Can Airport Express be used to extend my current wireless system that is not an Airport Extreme devise? 
    Also, by adding the Airport Express does this now limit the number of devices I can have on my wireless network to the 10 even if the Linksys supports 50?
    Thanks for any advise...

    Unfortunately, most non-AirPort routers are not compatible with Apple's implementation of Wireless Distribution System (WDS)...so it very unlikely that your non-AirPort router can be extended wirelessly with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX).
    The few that are known to work are:
    another Airport Express Base Station
    802.11g Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS)
    802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)
    Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not v5)
    Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231

  • Extending a home network with two WRT160N routers.

    Hey guys,
    I have a WRT160N and a WRT160N v2 router. I would like to extend my home network so that I have stronger bandwidth throughout different areas in my house.  Would I have to set one of these routers up as a repeater or maybe even a bridge? If so, how would I go about doing that?
    Thanks!
    -Jay-
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    1. If you are referring to Wireless bridging, this router's are NOT capable of that. You need to use separate wireless bridge to connect to the 2nd router;
    2. Wired bridging, though is possible. Here's the setup of that one;
    3. Instead of a 2nd router, use a wireless access point instead

  • Open DNS - For Home Wireless

    Is openDNS be an advantage to my home wireless serving all wireless devices & up internet speed and faster identification?

    There are always pros and cons for everything. If you want to go with OpenDNS consider some of these things:
    Please don’t expect huge gains in browsing speed since OpenDNS only improves the cycle between your computer and the DNS server.
    I got this from this site:
    OpenDNS: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly
    " OpenDNS is fast and reliable, more than the service offered by any ISP I have used. In addition, it offers a host of other features: Content Filtering, Phishing Protection, Domain Blocking, Adult Site Blocking, Web Proxy Blocking, Domain Whitelisting, Statistics, Typo Correction, Web Shortcuts.
    When you type in a domain that does not exist, OpenDNS resolves it to it’s own servers and shows search results (powered by Yahoo!) that they hope will help you find the site you were looking for."

  • Home wireless is interrupted by iPad 2?

    I do not have a problem connecting to wireless networks with my iPad 2 anywhere, except my own wireless network.  Every other device, including an iPhone, connects to my home wireless without a problem, but when I select my home network with my ipad, the internet stops working for every device, including my desktop computer and the iPad.  The wireless signal appears to be full, but it doesn't  connect.  I figure it is sharing some signal it shouldn't share with my wireless router, and I've spent several hours trying to remedy this, changing channels on the wireless router, and experimenting with other settings, to no avail.  I haven't been able to find someone else with this exact problem so far, any suggestions?

    I looked to the client list of devices on the router with their IP and MAC addresses, and my iPad was included in that list. So I went to advanced settings and found that IP address was under a static DHCP table, so I removed it from that. It seemed like it was going to work for a moment because the google page loaded while the wireless appeared to be on, (and my speakers buzzed a little when the wireless signal interacted with them) but now I am thinking it was loading using my edge network (I don't pick up 3G where I live) and the "E" just hadn't appeared yet. It switched itself over to edge network, then back to wireless, and now it is isn't loading anything.  It doesn't say "not connected", but just spins on a white screen.  I have reset my router by pulling the power several times while trying to fix this issue in the past, and I reset it again after making these changes just now. I also restarted my ipad.

  • Home wireless

    Just got my new MBP up and running and when I try to use my home wireless network I am prompted for a password. Went a few blocks away to a Starbucks and logged on to my T-Mobile account with no problem.
    Now I'm back at home on my old PowerBook and the wireless network works fine. I don't have it set up with any security measures.
    But the new MacBook Pro is still being asked for a password.
    Help!

    You might go to File Cabinet>Utilities>Keychain Access, look up your wireless modem, double click on it and see if somehow a password for it was inadvertently set. If nothing is there you might have to go through resetting you wireless modem via your MBP.

  • Home Wireless Network & Backup

    Hello-
    Can anyone suggest some helpful resources (e.g., websites) for configuring a home wireless network where different users (e.g., family members) can backup their files via the network instead of having to physically connect their computers to a separate, external drive? Thanks much.

    The new Apple Airport Extreme wireless router provides for this - connecting an external USB drive to the router for saving data and/or for backup purposes by anyone with access to the wireless network.

  • Home wireless connection instable

    Hi,
    I wonder if anybody can suggest me a valid solution:
    I have an IBM thinkpad with an Aironet PCI wireless LAN adapter.
    It worked fine with my home wireless router for months.
    Recently It started to have problems: the connection frequently stops (then after few minutes the software try to reconnect with success).
    The router is ok, as nothing has changed in its cfg and another portable works fine with wireless during stops.
    The only change I've done recently on my thinkpad was enabling a dial-in modem (but I've already disabled it now).
    The SW diagnostics says: "error code 208 - association expired".
    I've checked everytin but I can't solve it...
    Thank you
    GF
    OS: Windows XP SP2

    I'm going for the long ball here, but you said you are using the Aironet card. Is that Cisco/ Aironet or the way back when aironet?
    Anyway, please check to make sure windows wireless zero configurator is disabled.
    Start/settings/control panel/administrative tools/services/wireless zero configuaration.
    should be stopped and disabled if it is not already. This effectively kills the windows ability to find networks and manage profiles, but if you are already doing that with the PCI card then the other service must be turned off, or they will contend with each other, which usually manifests in a series of drops and reassociations as they fight for control.
    Also, you didn't mention what channel you were on, but it is possible somebody else has cranked up there own utensil nearby and it is interfering with you. Change the channels to see if the issue gets better and since you are probably already on 6, try 1 and 11 (only)!

    I just bought the HP Touch 600XT PC all in one.   I would like to set my home for wireless regardless where I am in the home to access the printer-HP J4680 all in one printer.  I watch the video on "Know your PC".   What would you recommend for me to purchase what home wireless router system.  I am considering the router range- needing a repeater.   Down the road I will be looking at a lap top to be added to the net work.

  • Home wireless network trouble

    I got a new wireless router, Netgear WPN824 from Newegg, a refurbished product. I set up a home wireless network using the online manual on the Netgear website. The router works well for the wired setup. But I could not connect to wireless.
    My wireless network shows up on the list of available wireless networks. I can connect to other wireless networks such as that of my neighbour's. I tried connecting to my network using both unsecured and secure WEP / WPA modes. Except once, I could never connect. That one time, as soon as I could connect and verify that I was indeed connected I thought the problem was resolved and so shutdown my system to see if i could connect again - alas, same trouble again. I use NetworkManager to connect, and here's the output for two networks - jaydoc which is my home network, and linksys, that of my neighbour's to which i can always connect.

    Is the wireless router i got a dud, being refurbished i took my chances and maybe i wasn't so lucky..! Or is it something wrong in my network settings..? I tried shutting down everything and then turning the modem, then the router and finally the PC without the ethernet cable connected. Still I am unable to connect.
    Any help is deeply appreciated. I am a total newbie in networking...!

    that is what my router status is at the moment. and I am able to connect to the wired network using the router. However I still cannot connect wireless. I did not see any settings in the wireless settings page of the router that ask for DHCP server names/addresses. This is the current logfile output

    So if its still a DHCP problem, it seems to be affecting only the wireless part. How can I make wireless use the same DHCP servers as the wired..? Or is there something else wrong here..?

  • Home wireless network in China using Airport Express ?

    I am going to be living in China with my Macbook. I will be bringing my Airport Express with me.
    I would like to know whether it is appropriate to connect up my Airport Express to a Chinese cable modem to obtain wireless internet access at home.
    Or is it a very different system used in China for home wireless network.

    Many, but not all of the same wireless channels in the US are allowed in China. See this Wikipedia Document for some information.
    As to whether you will connect using ethernet or PPPoE, etc., that will depend on the provider that you choose.

  • Iphone 4 showing wrong IP address for home wireless

    2 days ago we reset our home wireless password and updated our devices (ipad, laptop, and two cell phones). Now my iphone 4 will no longer connet to the wireless. It accepts the new password to join the network but it never connects. It is showing wrong IP address. How can I change it to the correct IP ? Tried hard rest, forget network, and renew lease all trying to get it to automatically update the info. Out of ideas. Any suggestions?

    I have the exact same router as you, I have Comcast, and I am having the exact same INFURIATING problem.
    Comcast and Apple have no ideas. Linksys tells me I am having a router problem.
    I even went so far as to buy a new router and modem from Linksys (as they claim they no longer make the router/modem combo because it doesn't work well). I still don't buy this... my PC, my PS3, my DS... all of them connect to the router perfectly.
    I have the new modem and router here and planned to give that a whirl tonight but Comcast was being difficult and saying it could take 72 hours to activate my new modem. Totally unsat. I had them reconnect the WCG200 and I am still trouble shooting to no avail...
    If anyone finds a fix (short of a new router and new modem)... please post!

  • MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5

    After upgrading to OSX 10.8.5, my MacBook does not detect any wireless nertworks. My iPad and iPhone work fine, my router has been rebooted, WiFi is turned on, and the ethernet connection is how I am writing this message to you via broadband. There are a half dozen wireless networks in range (according to my iPhone) but the MacBook cannot find the router I am sitting next to. Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

    It appears an SMC reset was required:
    HT5815 I've just done the 10.8.5 update on my MacBook Pro end of 2008, and WiFi don't work after reboot... Impossible to activate it...
    Here is your other post: MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5
    If you reply to it and marked it "solved", perhaps with a link to that post (copy and paste it, or just say you performed the SMC reset) it will help others find a solution. Thanks!
