Guest Network and iTunes DJ

Is it possible for users connected to the guest network to use iTunes DJ for an iTunes library which is on a Mac connected to the main network?

The MAC address filtering is for the main wireless network and not for the guest network.
The guest network is different from your private wireless network. This is very convenient especially if you always have guests in your home who would like to access the Internet.
When guests connect to the Guest network, they can connect to the Internet but will not have access to computers and devices which are connected to your Valet or Linksys Wireless-N Router. The Guest network is a virtual network within your private network.
The Guest network operates on a different IP address range (192.168.33.x). This allows your guests to connect to the Internet without becoming a part of your private network.
The guest will need the password to the network if they want to access the Internet.

AppleTV constantly requires me to re-input network and iTunes passwords

Why does my Apple TV constantly require me to renter my wi-fi network and iTunes account passwords? This mostly happens after it has been shutdown; however last night it asked me to renter my iTunes password during the MIDDLE of watching a movie I rented. Any suggestions?
I I tried to update my software (currently 4.3) and it as says it's up to date...

i would change the wifi channel as interference would explain your issue

Lost my guest network and VOIP is no longer....

Hello peeps,
So, this is what I DID have going on (sorry for any incorrect terminogly, I'm not overly techi)..
Centurylink Lynx 220 modem, 3rd gen TC linked to that and from the TC I HAD my VOIP (voice over internet phone?) working just fine. 2 wireless networks, one as the household main and a guest network for......... well, guests lol..
I have been spending a massive amount of time on the phone with centurylink just of late, we pay for 8meg downloads butwhen doing speed tests we were lucky to get 1meg. So, we got a new modem....
and this is what I have NOW....
Westell 7500 Modem, 3rd gen TC linked to that, bloody VOIP is NOT working, LOST my GUEST network and for love or money I can't add another one, that option seems to have completely gone AWOL.....
On the plus side, speed test now shows 7meg of download speed..
Any idea on what has changed? other than the modem change?? could that of made that difference? Any idea on how to get my life back??
We love the option of the guest network as we can turn it on and off for my Son.. Good boy = ON Bad boy = OFF haa haaa haaa how I love that power
Any info would be great.. Thank you

Guest network apparently.. (I haven't tested) does not work in bridge mode on the TC.

As that is the case you must run the TC as a router. Update to latest firmware and latest utility if not already maybe a help.. or a hinderance if you are already there.. visa versa .. go backwards.. Apple don't get them right all the time.
Secondly the modem should be in bridge and using PPPoE client on the TC so it is a full router. This may solve the voip issue as well since your modem may not be setup correctly for voip.

Guest network and multiple VLANs

Hello all,
I have installed a pair of 5508 controllers in our network. One controller sits inside the network and APs are configured to associate with that controller. The second controller sits on a DMZ interface off the ASA. I have a guest network configured and it works great. I would like to configure additional guest networks at remote locations. Each guest WLAN will have it's own SSID. Is it possible to map all of these to the same VLAN? Or do I need a seperate VLAN and subnet for each SSID.
Thanks

Scott,
Thanks for the reply. I have created different SSIDs and mapped them to the same VLAN. Everything looks good but I'm getting some strange behaviors on the new SSIDs. It appears that users don't authenticate but I've verified the credentials quite a few times. I wanted to make sure that you could map multiple SSIDs to the same VLAN before I continued troubleshooting.

HOW TO CONFIGURE GUEST NETWORK AND LIMITE BANDWIDTH

Dear all,
Please help me how to configure internet access rule and limited the bandwidth for guest network via TMG Forefront 2010.
Thanks you & best regards,
Hung Viet

Hi，
First you can create the new network set which is mapped to guest subnet, after that you can create access rule for this network set.
If you want to control bandwidth, you may need 3-party tool like this:http://www.bsplitter.com/

Weird Behavior on my Airport Network and iTunes

This will be a bit long. Set up a wifi network with a AP Extreme downstairs wired to my desktop, and an Express upstairs for my laptop and Airtunes. Worked great for awhilw but then kept getting kicked off. After searching the forum I tried to disable my firewall and everything was great- for awhile. Then I could not connect and needed to hard reset it all. Worked well again. Now a new problem.
With the AP Extreme and the desktop downstairs I get great internet access but iTunes does not show the speakers connected to the Express.
At the same time, Upstairs with the Express (solid green light) and the laptop I get great internet access and this iTunes sees the speakers connected to Express Airtunes. But it does not see the iTunes (and music)from the desktop PC. My wireless says I have an excellent signal to my network.
So: The computer with all the music does not see Airtunes. The computer with no music sees Airtunes but not the other computer with the music.
I checked and both are configured to see and display shared music.
I am sure that if I reboot it all it will work. But this constant rebooting is becoming a pain. Anyone have an idea? Thanks in advance.

Next time you want to change the network password.......change it on the Express first....and then on your main router. Then, as soon as you restart the main router, the Express already has the settings that it needs to join the network and it will join with no problems.
Now, you must reset the Express back to factory default settings and then set it up again. To do that......
Power off the Express for a minute
Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button after the 10 second hold, and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light status
The Express has now been reset and you can reconfigure it to join your "new" network now.

Guest network and bridge mode

Hi,
my question is, why my guest network doesn't works, if my TimeCapsule works in the bridge mode?
Someone an idea?
Thanks
Albrun

From the latest airport utility and firmware it does work.
I run the TC in bridge and setup the guest to try it.. seems to work for me.
I know there are other issues with using these .. perhaps that is what you mean.. but it does work.

WRT1900AC - WPA2 on Guest Network and Setting Domain Name

I'm configuring a new WRT1900AC (version 1) and have a couple of questions. The first should be easy, on the Connectivity -> Internet Settings page on the right side under the heading Optional the Domain Name (provided via the DHCP server, Comcast in this case) is displayed, but I cannot change it. How do I set the Domain Name to reflect my local domain? The second question is a bit more daunting. I have two main wifi segments (one each on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz) that are each secured by WPA2. They work great so far. I also have two Guest wifi segments (one each on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz), I cannot figure out how to secure these with WPA2. You can set a passwword for each of the Guest wifi segments, and instruct users to open a web browser after connecting and enter this password, but that's not a secure connection. Please tell me there is a way to secure the Guest network via WPA2, nobody wants to use an insecure internet connection in this day and age...... -MC

That's exactly why you want the connection encrypted, so EVERYTHING you send is encrypted and not sniffable. The intended use of this Guest network is for renters at a condo resort, who will likely be doing banking and the like while on vacation. If we only provide an open/unencrypted network for them they can't (or at least shouldn't) use it. I have a Netgear R7500 in place right now, it doesn't have any of these problems (e.g. you can specify the domain name even on with a dynamic WAN IP, and all 4 network segments are WPA2 encrypted). Unfortunately, it's totally unreliable - the 4 network segments randomely disappear and stop working all the time, and the signal range is poor. I "downgraded" to this 1900AC because this router has a better reputation for stability and range (and indeed, I've been testing it for several days now and stability and range seem to be its strong points, not a single problem so far), but these firmware decisions by Linksys are forcing me to reconsider this router. -MC

E4200: guest networking and MAC filter

Hi there,
I have my e4200 setup with guest networking enabled and also MAC filtering. Somehow i was epxecting MAC filtering not to be applied to guest wireless network but it appears to be so.
Can anybody please confirm if this is the case and if there's a workaround?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You are correct. MAC filtering is universal in the router. There is no workaround besides not using it.

Guest networking and mac filtering

I have a dual band airport extreme that I've purposfully kept at an old firmware revision because I have mac filtering enabled and also want to have guest network enabled. Somewhere around version 7.5 a bug was introduced that applied the mac filtering to both the private and guest SSID's. I found a number of posts from back then about it, but can anyone tell me if it has since been corrected in the more recent releases?
Thanks
Matt

No. For what it's worth, Apple Support does not call it a "bug". They call it a "feature".

Is there a way to see content purchased on an ATV 2 on my ATV1 on the same network and iTunes account?

Can I view a TV show Impurchased on the ATV2 on my ATV1? They are on different floors in my house, same wifi network, same iTunes account. This seems crazy I can't see the TV shows I purchased on one ATV on the other. also, I can't download or see them on my MacBook pro in my iTunes library. any help would be appreciated.

Shouldn't be a problem, but you'd need to d/l them to iTunes on your MacBook first.

Wireless and guest network and HREAP

Hi,
I have inherited a wireless infrastructure which comprises of a head office with WCS and WLC plus LWAPP access points.
There is a sub office in another town who wishes to deploy a wireless infrastrucure and it struck me that as they only want to deploy a couple of AP's that HREAP would be good to use in this senario.
However they want to also use the guest wireless network that we have in the head office but I dont want their guest traffic to come to our DSL modem that we have set up for the HO guest wireless. The two offices are connected via an MPLS link which doesnt need anymore traffic on it.
Is there a way of configuring the HREAP and the WLC and WCS so that the sub office breaks out locally for guest and yet the lobby admin at HO can control the password?
Many thanks,

Hi Nell,
the feature you are looking for is "H-REAP local switching".
So you can set the remote AP to H-REAP mode (which optimizes it for "behind a WAN link") and from there you can set several ssids as "local switching".
this means that everything about the authentication phase is handled by WLC but after authentication, the traffic is dropped locally at the AP and doesn't transit through the WLC.
The guest SSID has to be enabled for local switching and then, on the H-REAP APs, go in the AP configuration (from WLC "wireless" tab, then click on ap) and in the hreap tab, you can configure the vlan where the guest traffic will be dropped on the remote site. It must be a vlan that exists on the remote site and users will get a DHCP address on that vlan.

Nicolas

Guest Network and MAC

Is there any way to set up a guest wireless network with a on/off schedual on my airport extreme.
Is there any parental controls that can be set up as a "per computer" basis (It would just be on one computer connected wirelessly and it is running xp home)
How do I set it up to only accept certain MAC addresses.

Yes. It says so here.

Open Guest Network and DHCP utilisation

For guests to be able to easily access our wireless network, the Layer 2 security is Open, with Web Authentication implemented at Layer 3.
The problem I have is with having no layer 2 security (open), is that my dhcp pool is utilised by devices that may never authenticate. It becomes more of a problem if the DHCP pool is associated with DMZ Public addresses...
Is there anyway of moving the client to a different DHCP pool after web authentication? (ie. from a Private pool to Public pool).
I can see from the documentation that Dynamic VLAN assignment is not possible with web authentication :(

In the case of DHCP, a DHCP server must be available locally and must be able to provide the IP address for the access point at bootup.

Setup Guest Network with OS X Server and Airport Extreme - NEED HELP!

Hi All,
So I have a small business with a Mac Mini Server (10.6.5) and an Airport Extreme. The Airport is handling the routing and DHCP duties, while the Server is handling the DNS. The Airport is pointed to pull DNS from the Server. All internal systems work great accessing the internet and folders on the Server.
I need to setup a Guest network for internet access, so I turned this function on in the Airport Extreme. It sets up fine, but if you connect to that new Guest Network the system hangs trying to open a web page. My thinking is since the Server is the one handling the DNS it is not working for Guest computers since they are not part of our internal network. At least that is my theory, I could be wrong.
With this type of setup what do I need to modify to get this working? Anyone have any ideas?

After trying for days to figure this out I was finally able to get a working solution and I now have my APE providing a guest and main network while using my lion server as the Dsn server for the main network.
The setup is a bit of a hack and does require you to have at least two devices with staticly assigned ip information on the main network but it does allow you to serve dhcp for both networks from the server and make some services available to the guest network such as iTunes remote for parties.
1) delete your custom Dns entries from the Internet settings in the APE and set two dhcp reservations for .2 and .3 (in this case my Mac mini server and my airport express)
2) reduce the dhcp range to only have 2 available IPs (10.0.1.2-10.0.1.3) and save settings
3) on a computer connected to the main network install wireshark and begin sniffing for packets. Connect at least one device to your guest network and look for any packets that have an ip from your guest network (usually 172.16.42.x) once you capture one of these packets expand the vlan information. This should list a vlan ID ( in my case this was 1003. I would suspect this is universal but do not know)
4) on your server open network preferences, click the gear at the bottom and click "manage virtual interfaces", add a vlan that matches the vlan ID from above. Click ok and apply your settings. The vlan interface should get an ip in the guest network range from your APE.
* if you are running lion you will need to install server admin tools before proceeding*
5) open server admin and add the dhcp service. Create an entry for your primary network (ex: 10.0.1.x) make the dhcp range one higher than the settings in step 2 ( ie: 10.0.1.4 to 10.0.1.253) assign this to the physical interface. Make sure this entry has your internal DNA servers
6) add another entry for the guest networks ip range (ex: 172.16.42.x) again set it one ip higher than step 2 ( 172.16.42.4 to 172.16.42.253) save and activate both ranges. Assign this range to the vlan interface. Make sure this entry either contains your isps dns servers or another public dns server. Turn on dhcp.
Because you have now assigned the only two addresses in the APEs pool for your primary network to static entries there will not be any addresses to assign and the APE will not respond to requests. This will allow your server to pick up the work of assigning IPs. As for your guest network, the APE will assign IPs for two host and then stop. Your clients may either get an IP from the APE or the osx server so both should have the same info. Just make sure the two static clients on your main network have the local DNA servers entered manually.
