How to Access E900 in Bridge mode?

Hi All,  My ISP gave me Static IP i.e. 10.XXX.XXX.XX range.  (I can connect to Internet directly on any PC or router in Static Mode).  Now i have got E900 and want to put same in Bridge mode.  (Reason i want to use Router B as DHCP & NAT).  I get 2 option .. 1. Automatically Assign IP 2. Specify IP address .    whenever i choose Automatically Obtain . I am not able to browse setup page of Router E900 . and even i tried to specify an IP (192.XX) . it was not able to detect Setup/admin page of router.  Even i didn't find any entry in arp -a.  Any idea., what would be IP of Router in Bridge mode.  I had to reset router to see Setup/Admin page.  Thanks in advance.    

You need to specify an IP address in the range in your main host router, i.e. set 192.168.1.50. Then connect the LAN wire from the E900 to the main host routers LAN port. Disable all DHCP services and firewalls on the e900. Once the e900 is up and running. You should be able to connect to the E900s web page from a PC at 192.168.1.50 http://www.northshore-it.com/tips/how-tos/cascade_linksys/#LAN_to_LAN For wireless bridge mode, you should set Auto Obtain. However you should have a next option to enter in what wireless SSID name to connet to assumeing that this is wireless bridging. Wireless bridging needs specify a wireless SSID name and PW to connect to on the main host router. Does this model router support wireless bridging?

  • Airport Express: How to switch out of Bridge Mode

    I have an Airport Express connected to a Westell 7500 Modem/Router.
    Talking with Airport Express support from Apple today they told me that since I was running in Bridge mode there
    was limited amount of support that they could provide. Since my AE is only provisioning wireless.
    I'd like to change that. I suspect that on the AE I need to unconfigure Bridge Mode.
    The Apple person said that the modem would need be configured from 'Private IP to Public IP'.
    In the config for the Westell there is an Advanced/Lan/Private Lan which is enabled and has a DHCP start address of 10.0.0.2
    and end address of 10.0.0.33.
    There is also an Advanced/Lan/Public Lan page which is currently disabled.
    It has Public LAN DHCP Server Enable, Public Lan Enable, Public Lan IP address (set to 0.0.0.0), and Public Lan Subnet Mask (set to 0.0.0.0).
    Are these the areas I need to change?
    I'm currently using two of the Ethernet ports on the Westell. One feeds into the Airport Express.
    The other is connected to one of my Windows 7 PC's.
    Thanks for any advice or help!

    I think my concern is support as we are becoming more Apple centric.
    I would suggest that you check with your Internet service provider to see if they can furnish you with a simple modem.....not a modem/router or gateway device.
    Then, Apple will fully support that setup....and your Internet Service Provider (ISP) will as well.
    If you are thinking of trying to configure your modem/router to function as a simple bridge mode modem, it might be a good idea to first ask your ISP.....
    1) if this is even possible and, if so,
    2) how to do this, and
    3) if they will support you when the device is configured this way.
    I would be very surprised if your ISP will satisfy all three conditions above, so if service and support is important as you state, you might want to think of both your ISP and Apple in that regard.

  • E4200/E3200 in bridge mode...Guest access works, but does not roam between routers...any ideas?

    I have installed wireless in my church...main router is E4200 in the office set up as follows:
    IP: 192.168.0.1
    Subnet: 255.255.255.0
    DHCP enabled (Range = 192.168.0.4-192.168.0.103)
    Guest network enabled
    Static DNS (for content filtering)
    NAT: Enabled
    Second router E3200 (in bridge mode) - connected LAN to WAN
    IP: 192.168.0.2
    Subnet: 255.255.255.0
    Guest Network enabled
    DHCP (obviously disabled)
    Static DNS (for content filtering)
    NAT: Enabled
    Third router E3200 (in bridge mode) - Connected LAN to WAN
    IP 192.168.0.3
    Subnet: 255.255.255.0
    Guest network enabled
    DHCP (obviously disabled)
    Static DNS (for content filtering)
    NAT: Enabled
    The 2 routers in Bridge mode are connected to a 16-port unmanaged switch (with other PCs, etc.), which is then plugged into the main router in Port 1.
    SSIDs on all 3 routers are exactly the same for both main and Guest networks.
    The main network works flawlessly.  The router in the office hands out IPs in the 192.168.0.XX range and you can wander throughout the church and maintain a persistent Internet connection.  File and print access works fine too from anywhere in the building.
    For the Guest network, you can set up a laptop next to each router, obtain an IP address, reach the logon page and surf the Internet without issue.  So, the Guest Network works fine from each router.
    However, if you wander around the church while on the Guest network (such as with a smart phone), the following happens:
    -On either of the E3200 routers (in bridge mode) you get the login page as you wander into the range of each router.  I would have thought that if you logged in once, you would be good to go.
    -You get a different IP from each router.  On the E3200's in Bridge mode, you get a 192.168.33.XX address.  Additionally, the gateway is 192.168.33.1.  On the E4200 (main router) you get a 192.168.3.XX IP and a gateway of 192.168.3.1.  
    -As a result of getting different IPs, the smart phone becomes confused and generally won't connect to the Internet.
    So, it looks like each router maintains a separate list of who has entered the correct password to get onto the Guest network.  Additionally, it appears as if each of the 2 routers, supposedly in Bridge mode, is still handing out IP addresses on the Guest Network, rather than deferring to the router in the office like they do for the main network.
    I have seen a lot of postings about how to put routers into Bridge mode and problems with the Guest Network, but posts that I've seen point to the Guest network not working at all, as opposed to this issue where it works; the bridged routers, though, continue to like to hand out IP addresses on it, making wandering around the church while connected to the Internet not possible while connected to the Guest network.
    Anyone else experience as similar situation?  Any possible solutions out there?
    Thanks!
    -Gil
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I do understand what you were trying to do here since you would like to have only 2 SSIDs (main & guest) for perhaps easy connectivity. The reason why you were not having problems getting online wirelessly when you were connected to the main network it’s because the computer was connected to only one DHCP server since the 2 bridge routers were just acting as a switch or a passthrough device. Now with guest network access it is a different scenario, a guest network is a virtual network meaning to say it’s like your having another router embedded on your router. Since it is a virtual network, then it does not follow the parameters of the main network, hence even if the router was set to bridge mode those routers will still have their own ip address of either 192.168.33.1 or 192.168.3.1.

  • How to change Cisco EPC2425 into bridge mode

    Hi,
    I need help regarding how to chage ECP2425 into bridge mode. I have Wireless NAS drive router which has its own DHCP and NAT service. At the moment my Wireless Timecapsule (NAS Drive) is in bridge mode and connected to EPC2425 with ethernet cable. Everything is fine. But in order to access my timecapsule over the internet, I need to use its (timecapsule)'s NAT service. For this, I need to put EPC2425 which is my first point of access from internet, into bridge mode or atleast disabled its (EPC2425) NAT service. Unfortunately, I am not been able to find NAT or Bridge mode option on EPC2425. I will appreciate if anyone can help me out in this case. I need to change my EPC2425 router into bridge mode or gateway mode.
    Thank you very much                  

    Hi Azhar,
    Thank you for your question.  However, this community is for Cisco Small Business Products and the DPC/EPC2425 is not a Cisco Small Business Product.

    Yes. That's correct. You also have to change the LAN IP address of the router to avoid address conflicts.

  • How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
    If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.

  • How To Access Files Remotely In Bridge Mode?

    Hey guys, so I've got a TC and my roomate has a TC the only way we can get them both to work is hooked up to our router and placing both TC's to Bridge Mode. The issue is in Bridge Mode we've lost a lot of remote functionality. The main thing we both want to do is access our files when we're on the go. Is there a way to remotely access our TCs in bridge mode? I'm pretty techy so I'm open to any creative solutions.

    but how will this solve the problem where I don't see "Share disks over WAN" on my TC?
    The TC does not need that option....since it is already in Bridge Mode. 
    If the TC were also your router.....then it would be providing DHCP and NAT service....and the option to "Share..." would be needed....so it would appear so you could allow or open the WAN port. The example that Tesserax provides assumes that the TC is also the router......providing DHCP and NAT service.
    You have a different layout. Another device is providing the DHCP and NAT routing, and the TC  is in Bridge Mode.
    Are you saying that option will become available when my TC sees the approptiate port is open?
    You don't need the "option" at all in Bridge Mode.  All ports are already open when the TC is in Bridge Mode. There is no WAN port in Bridge Mode....it automatically becomes a LAN port, so no need to "open" a port if it is already "open".

  • How to use SNMP to access interface counters for WAN port when not in bridged mode

    Hi All,
    Can't fault my timecapsule, however just struggling to get one little bit of functionality working.  I'm keen to get access to the WAN port interface counter information via SNMP, so I can track total bandwidth/throughput & also volume. 
    I have no issue getting SNMP to work & can see the 2.4 & 5.0GHz network counters, also total number of WIFI clients, wlan0, wlan1 and bridge0 interfaces.  Trouble is none of these are the WAN/external ethernet port.
    I see that it is likely that I'm trying to find the vlan1 port, however from what I'm reading this may only be available when the device is running in a routed mode (I'm running in bridge mode).
    Anyone able to suggest anything?

    Some cable modem you can turn off NAT.. and then use the TC in router mode.. or even use DMZ if the cable router allows that.
    Have you ever looked at gargoyle router firmware and its ability to count and quota all clients connecting to internet service.. it is a simply fantastic firmware and can be loaded onto a router that costs $70-130 dollars.. it is 3rd party but very solid if you choose the right combo.

  • New Airport Extreme in Bridge mode -- some devices have no internet access

    I just bought a new Airport Extreme as my old one which was probably 7 years old required restarting every day. My setup is as follows: DSL cable modem to Linksys Router (for a long set of convoluted reasons, I can't remove this layer) and then Airport Extreme. This is how I had it set up with my old one. The only difference is I recently started looking into using "Back to the Mac" on MobileMe and in order for it to work, I set my new Airport Extreme to Bridge mode due to dual NAT. I have an iMac, PC, MBP, MBA, iphone 4, AppleTV and ipad. All was working fine last night when I set it up. 24 hours later, for some odd reasons, I can't have my PC accessing the wireless network at the same time. If I did, it would knock my iMac off the network and says some other device is using the same IP address. For a while, only my iMac (my main computer) can access it and even my iphone can't. At this very moment, my iphone, imac and MBP all have access to the wireless network. My MBA and iPad has no internet connection. I've restarted Airport Extreme, Linksys, and modem more than once... If I switch back to "Use Public IP Address" instead of Bridge mode, everything works except for "Back to the Mac"... Help!

    Hey Bob, Thanks...I have already repeated that multiple times yesterday and today but to no avail. I tried to get into the Linksys router control panel but unfortunately we can't remember the username and password (the router is not mine). The make things even more complicated, the router is actually part of the internet package provided by the ISP and they use a PPPoE to log in. Theoretically, we could do a hard reset but the problem is the ISP will not release the PPPoE information unless we sign a long and complicated form saying we want to bypass their Linksys router. We can do that but this process will take days and weeks... Our ISP confirmed that the Linksys router is set to max out at 5 DHCP but we can only connect 3 machines at a time. They are coming out to take a look tomorrow but in the meantime I have reset the Airport Extreme to "Distribute a Public IP Address" mode which will allow access to all computers/devices. What's even more weird is that if I did the Bridge mode, it messes up the Linksys router's own network as well. We can't even just sign into that network... Any ideas why?

  • Guest access in bridge mode

    I want to set up a secure wireless network in our small office that will also allow clients to access the internet while in our waiting area. I also want to maintain our current wired network, which is connected to the internet through a Nortel router, connected to a DSL modem. Where would the Airport extreme be installed? - i.e., upstream or downstream from the router? Also, looking over Apple's network documentation, it appears that the Airport Extreme would be in Bridge mode when configured on an existing ethernet network with router, but the documentation is clear on the issue of setting up guest access in this kind of configuration.
    In case you have not guessed, I am not an IT guy, so will be grateful for any helpful suggestions

    Guest access and bridge mode are incompatible on AirPort base stations. I'd connect an AirPort Extreme to your DSL modem, connect your wired network connections to the Ethernet ports of the AirPort Extreme, and take the Nortel router out of service. Depending on how many wired connections you need, you may also need an Ethernet switch. Besides the WAN port, an AirPort Extreme only has three available Ethernet ports.

  • E4200 Bridge Mode + Guest Access?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to set up my E4200 in "Bridge Mode," but want to enable a few things in the wireless settings, such as:
    a) choosing SSIDs and network keys,
    b) enable Guest Access
    I've been able to get things working without too much hassle:
    * factory reset
    * set wireless SSIDs and network keys
    * enable guess access and set password
    * turn on bridge mode
    Everything is basically fine, except that when the device goes into bridge mode it seems that it shuts off *all* web UI. This kind of makes sense, but do I actually understand that correcty? (Or have I simply not found the right connection method?)
    If so, it leads to a couple follow-on questions:
    a) How do I disable Bridge Mode if I want to change any settings? (Is the answer just 'factory reset'?)
    b) Can Guest Access mode work in Bridge Mode?
    So far, I have not been successful in getting the device to display the login page for Guest Access. I'm not sure if that's a config problem with Guest Access or if that just doesn't work in Bridge Mode.
    Any tips/advice appreciated.

    It's not possible to use guest access in bridge mode. Guest access is only possible when the E4200 operates as router. In bridge mode any wireless network goes directly into the same LAN. Guest separation would not be possible.
    Also don't disable the SSID broadcast.

    What I'm saying is that it is possible and that I am doing just that on our LAN here at work.
    You pegged me on the linksys devices not allowing higher subnets. Alas, I am used to using DD-WRT and Tomato for years now (where you can use any subnet mask) and took for granted that I have not seen a stock linksys GUI in a long time. However, in bridge mode on the E4200 you are able to set subnet masks as you wish...
