Home Networking and Multiple Router Set up Problem

Router 1 (Main Access Point)                   
        X               
(Routers 1 and 2 connected via a wireless bridge)
Router 2 (Wired Access Point)
    X       
(Router 2 and 3 connected via a wired bridge)
Router 3 (Wired & Wireless Access Point)    Note:broadcasting under a different SSID
         X   
Problem:
When I set up a wireless and wired bridge my Internet connection works perfectly and I can connect to the second SSID. If, however,  I close out of my browsing session and come back to my laptop several hours later and open a browser, I get the “webpage cannot be displayed” message.
I suspect this has to do with IP addresses changing from the main router after a certain amount of time.
What could be causing this?
What can I do to stop this from happening?
Thanks for any help

Running multiple router behind router can be tricky and may be the cause of your dropouts if you don't have it configured properly.
Cisco recommends using your best router as your primary router and DHCP server.
The best way to setup for home networks, in my opinion, is to use only one router, and put the other router(s) in bridge mode.  Also, make sure your modem is not a router too.

  • Why wont my iphone4 to my home network and my router is fine

    my iphone4 wont join my home network. it was connected to it before.I have my laptop connected to my network and my apple TV and PlayStation I also have 2 other phones to are connected to it to. I reset all my settings and all so my router.

    I doubt that it was due to any Apple update. Note that this router problem does not affect any device which is already connected to the router. They have an IP address and still work. Mobile devices which disconnect and re-connect to your network frequently are much more likely to first see this problem.

  • Home Network and Multiple Switches

    Hi, I am upgrading my small office network as I have run out of ports on my Cisco SG100-24 unmanaged switch. I have purchased another SG100-24 which will give me the ports required. My question is how best to connect them.
    I am currently using my ISP`s modem to a Cisco RV320 router to the first SG100-24. I see two obvious options here one being just daisy chain them or just connect them each to the router as more of a tree approach. I also have a 8 port switch (SG200-08) but not sure I need it any longer with the new 24 port switch though it is a "Smart-Switch".  I guess I am curious if there is any benefit of using the mini-GBIC combo ports (with or without buying the modules) or just to run both switches through the RV320.  I also use a 4410 WAP so my current pan is as follows:
    Port 1 of RV320 -> SG100-24#1
    Port 2 of RV320 -> SG100-24#2
    Port 3 of RV320 -> WAP4410N
    Port 4 of RV320 -> Server
    I would appreciate thoughts and suggestions especially as it pertains to the Mini GBIC combo ports.

    Jason,
    The only advantage you would get from using SFPs (fiber tranceivers) in the GBIC slots would be if you needed to make a run of over 100m between the switches.  Unless you have a very large property with switches at either end you are just as well to use the copper ports in the setup you described.  There is also nothing wrong with chaining the SG100s together if necessary to free up a port on the RV320.  The only other thing to consider is if you are using VLANs.  Each unmanaged SG100 will only pass a single VLAN so if you need segregated distribution coming from the RV320 you would need to put each SG100 on its own port.  Or, you could run a trunk from a port on the RV320 to your SG200 and then split off your untagged VLANs from there.  Hope this answers your question and have a nice day.
    Regards,
    Mike.V

  • I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network.  Does anyone know where to find this?  It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

    I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network.  Does anyone know where to find this?  It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

    It's in your Keychain on the computer you usually use to connect to your network - the "kind" will be "AirPort Network Password".
    Your Keychain can be opened by using the Keychain Access program. It is in your Utilities Folder.
    Open Keychain Access, and type airport in the search field. You will see a number of entries. Choose the one with the name of your wireless network, open it, and check the box next to "show password". Before it reveals itself you will be asked for your login password - the one you use to log in to your MacBook.
    The network password will appear in the box.
    Quit Keychain Access.

  • Our home network has multiple devices connected by iCloud. Having problem with Calendar. On one iMac, all the events are duplicated. How can I correct that problem? Under the Calendar accounts, I had my Apple id listed and also just iCloud.

    Our home network has multiple devices connected by iCloud: 2 iMacs, 2 iPhone 4s, 1 MacPro Laptop, and 1 iPad 2.  When using Calendar, all the events were
    duplicated on my husbands iMac.  On his computer, under Calendar accounts, I had included iCloud and also my iCloud ID.  I thought that because I had two accounts listed that were connected to iCloud, that might be the cause of the duplication.  When I deleted ithe calendars from one of the accounts, it resulted
    in deleting all of the events on all of our network devices!
    I have since entered some new events into Calendar from my iMac and from my iPhone.  These appear correctly on all devices except my husband's iMac where they are again all duplicated.
    I have two questions: 1)  How can I eliminate the duplicated events on my husband's computer and 2) How do I retrieve the old wiped out Calendar events from
    Time Capsule.  I don't know how to find Calendar in the Time Capsule.  If I find the Calendar information in Time Capsule, how do I transfer it to my current Calendars?
    I was obtaining phone help from one of the Apple techs at Apple Support, but our call was disconnected part way through.  Didn't know how to reconnect with the tech.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Connect Fios to Cat5e home network AND Coax connections?

    My Verizon fios system was recently installed.  My home is wired for a Cat5e home network and standard Coax in all rooms.  The fios system is currently connected to the Coax connections and the TVs and Fios router all work fine.  Problem is that I would also like to use the Cat5e connections for devices that access the internet that don't have wireless capability and are not proximate to the Fios router.  Is it possible to connect the ONT to my Cat5e home network so that I can connect other devices directly to the Cat5e outlets, and keep the existing Coax set-up?
    I understand that the standard Fios set-up only allows using either an Ethernet output or the Coax output, but not both.  Any suggestions?
    One option might be to move the router to the basement (where the equipment is located that I want to connect to the Cat5e network), but then the router will likely be too far from the rest of the house to receive the wireless signal.  In that case, is it possible to connect a wireless router in another location (I have a Belkin wireless router).  Or do I need to get another router from Verizon?

    I just spoke to Verizon Fios Tech Support and they claim that it is NOT possible to use both the Coax and Cat5e connections.  So, for those that have a Cat5e home network, but still want to use th Coax for TV, Verzon says you are out of luck.
    Thats not strickly true but its not bad info either. You cant use both the coax and cat5 at the same time for INTERNET. The coax internet port (moca) is not active at the same time as the ethernet port. However, many systems use the ethernet for internet and coax for TV.
    Depending on how your house is set up this can be accomplished many different ways.
    I would assume that you have some kind of utility closet were all the ethernet cables converge, where you could place the router so that it can connect to all the rooms. Is this correct? If so, is there also a coax connection in there? Again, if so, you could place the verizon router in the closet, connect the coax to the router for the link to verizon and the TV's and then connect the ethernet to the lan for the rest of the house. This would be the simplest way assuming that you have this type of connection available to you. there are many other ways but it would all depend on what you have available to you and how your house wiring is set up

  • N80 home network and WWW

    I have recently purchased an n80 and I am trying to get the home networking and internet functional through my wirless router. So far I have had little success. I have enabled upnp on my d-link router/modem . I have installed The simple center software on my laptop and uploaded files to share. I have setup an access point on my n80 and I have enabled sharing. The shared folders on the n80 have also been selected to share all files. The simple center software has been allowed to operate through xp's firewall. THe only thing I am not sure about is the port forwarding on the router. I have a trigger port and a public port in the applications gateway section of my router . I have entered the ports listed in the simple centers setting section (1900,49153,49154,49152). I have these numbers in both the trigger port and the public port on the TCP protocol.
    Occasionally I can connet to the internet. However when I close the connection down and try to start it up again sometimes it does not work , showing 'unable to perform operation'. The only way to re-establish the connection is to power the router down then backup(reset).
    The same goes for the home networking. I had no success a all on the first day of trying. Went to work. When I came back tried it again and it worked perfectlly ?? Now on the third day it is working ocassionally.
    Anyone else had simmilar problems ? If so any soultions would be appreciated ! The phone itself seems to be pretty glitcy. And battery life isnt the best either. Apart from that eh !

  • Home Network and printer sharing with XP and Vista

       I have a home network and printer wired on my PC desktop which runs XP.  My Vista laptop has been connected to internet and printer through the home network for past 6 years flawlessly.  However, since October my Vista laptop cannot
    connect to the network printer, but internet has been working fine. 
       I've tried to uninstall/reinstall, update drivers, connect via TCP/IP but printer isn't located by add printer wizard.  When I plug printer directly into laptop via USB it works fine.  I also have tried another xp desktop in the house
    and that cannot locate the printer also.     Help!

Still unable to connect wireless on Homenetwork. Any Ideas?

    I seem to have fixed it by putting <div  class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

  • Adding new Computer to my Home Network and I have a WRT54GS .V5 Router

    I have a existing home network connecting a HP laptop and a Dell desktop and all is well. Now however I bought a new Lenovo laptop with the Vista OS with SP1 and I would like to connect it to my home existing home network. I know this might be a rather simple question BUT I am not great with networks and I set up my home network years ago and I draw a blank on how I did it. There is one CD I found that I marked with the words Remote Linksys Install on it and there is one file on it named NetSetClient. Not sure why I kept it and I do not remember what it does but might help in getting my solution.
    Please help the network novice

    As your linksys router is configured and its working on 2 other computers perfectly fine, so you dont have to run the CD again on your new computer. Is your new computer is a Wireless computer, So on your New computer, in the system tray, Right click on Two computer Icon and select "Connect to a Network".. selecte your Wireless network... type in your security key and click on Connect. After this try going online.
    If you new computer is a Wired computer, Just plug in the cable from your New computer to the Router and you will be able to go Online.
