How to add second access point using coax

I have FIOS with the coax line split out of the main fios box. One split goes to room A that has the Actiontec router and a STB.   The other line goes into room B where there is just a STB. I have poor wireless signal in room B and I would like to add a second access point.  I've read up on the devices that try to amplify your signal and see that they tend to reduce speeds, so this does not seem like a viable option. Because of my building arrangement, I can't do any sort of new wiring. 
I'd like to try to minimize how much configuration I have to do and even if it means paying a bit more to do so. From what I can tell, I could split the coax in Room B and plug in an ActionTEC ECB2200.  But, this would only give me a ethernet connection. If I plug in a second router via that ethernet connection, would that give me a second access point? Would I need to set up the second router in bridge mode? If this is the case, would it just make sense to plug the second router in without the ActionTEC ECB2200 in bridge mode from the coax input? 
Thanks in advance.

My only question is, when starting the process and performing the following:
2.1) You will need to reconfigure the remote router, BEFORE you connect it to the coax.
Perform a hard reset on the Actiontec to restore factory defaults.
Connect a PC to a LAN port of the Actiontec.
By default, DHCP server should be enabled on the Actiontec, so no need to set a static IP address on the PC.
Login to the router at 192.168.1.1 
How do I connect the primary and secondary actiontec? Do I disconnect the primary and plug the secondary into coax and do all this, and then when finished plug the primary back in? Or, do i Ieave the primary plugged in the whole time?
First you set up the secondary router by connecting it to any computer using an Ethernet cable.  Assuming you have reset the device, go to 192.168.1.1 and make the necessary changes in router number two.
Leave the primary router alone (unless you decide on a scheme with a fixed IP for the second router) and it will supply an IP to router two, which will serve as a simple wireless access point.  Detailed settings and a step-by-step cookbook procedure are provided in the references given above.  Good luck.

  • Scale out file server client access point using public nic

    Thoughts on this one.
    I have a Scale Out File Server cluster with a Client Access Point. Whenever i talk to the Client Access Point it uses the public nics.
    If i talk to the Scale Out File Server directly it uses the private like i want it to. How can i get the Client Access Point using the private nics?

    Hi JustusIV,
    Could you tell us why you want to modify the CAP use the “private” network, the CAP is used for client access, your clients may can’t access your cluster if modify your CAP
    use private network, if you want know how to modify the CAP of a cluster you can refer the following KB:

  • How to add rows in tableview using javascipt

    Hi
    I had tableview and button in my page.If i click on the button one new row should be appended to the existing tableview.
    so , how to add rows in tableview using javascipt which are editable?
    Regards,
    Pydi.

    Hi,
      Javascript is client scripting language, which is mainly used for validations at the client side.
      To add new row using a HTMLB tag ucannot use javascript. Instead pass "visibleRowCount" variable to a abap variable and add the variable on every button click.. that wil increase the visible row count.
    Also the size of the table view is the size of the itnernal table, so append a blank like to the internal table or insert it at the top.
    If you are not using HTMLB tags and using simple HTML tags u can always add a row using java script.
    Regards

  • How many clients support access points 1602, 2602, 3602?

    Hi! How many clients support access point 1602, 2602, 3602. I have found for example that the 1602 supports 32 ClientLink clients and max 128 clients, APs 2602, 3602 supports 128 ClientLink clients and max 200 clients. But is it really? And can we say for example that the AP 2602 will withstand max 200 clients?

    The reason the answer varies so much, is because there are so many variables (this is also why the value ranges so much from one manufacture to the next).  When determining the answer you are looking for you need to consider the following factors and likely more:
    AP model and the features it supports
    single, dual, or tri radio AP
    20, 40, or 80Mhz wide channels
    Device type (b/g, b/g/n, a/b/g/n, a/b/g/n/ac, spatial stream support, and channel width support)
    Security/QOS method(s) employed
    Average distance from the AP
    Obstructions between devices and radios
    Number of competing radios for the same channel
    Data rates configuration
    Rogue detection/mitigation configuration
    Surrounding client density not just the area of concern client density
    Noise floor levels
    Application types/per user network load (is it heavy like YouTube traffic or a drone on the network like Pandora)
    Network latency on the switching side - including the internet circuit
    Application of per SSID, per user, and or per application rate limiting
    The list continues, but I think you get the idea
    I have personally seen 80 devices on a 5Ghz radio of a 3500 access point with several other access points and at least 200 other clients in the area and it was working well.  That being said I would never design to expect that many on a single radio, but I think it is better said that you can safely design for 20-30 clients per 2.4Ghz radio and 25-40 clients per 5Ghz radio.
    The default statement of 20-25 per AP and similar low expectation statements concerning Cisco wireless have been around for many years.  It is now 2014.  About 65% of clients support 5Ghz, ~9% support AC (already), ~90% support some form of N, and ~0.01% support B only.  The landscape of wireless is changing fast making questions like this one have ever changing answers.
    I hope this helps :).

  • How can I see "access point" for "connection method" to use Bluetooth tethering?

    I have been using WiFi tethering.  However, as everybody knows, the battery of my Nexus 5 goes down so fast.  Now I wish to use Bluetooth tethering.  I updated my Nexus 5 to Android 5.0.  I have a desktop PC, notebook PC and new Surface
    Pro 3 all with Windows 8.1 Update.  Up to pairing everything goes OK but when I click the "Nexus 5" graphic on the control panel, I could see only "direct connection" (no "access point").  Some website indicates "KB290440"
    but it is not found in the history of update.   I would therefore appreciate if somebody would kindly help me to use Bluetooth tethering.
    By the way, the Windows system I am using is Japanese.
    Thank you in advance.
     

    Some website indicates "KB290440" but it is not found in the history of update.  
    That's the latest "servicing stack".  I think it is optional.  More significant I think would be whether you have the latest rollup, which is also optional, so far.  E.g. at the top of View your update history see what you have for 
    "Most recent cumulative update: "

  • RE: How to secure an access point signal.

    Hi everyone,
    I have difficulty making my access point wireless signal secure. My network setup is simple, Modem to Router to Homeplug 1st floor, (secure wireless signal),
    2nd floor (secure signal). Problem when comes to 3rd floor, signal too weak, so I place Homeplug to Access Point. (wireless works well but not secured).
    Tried calling D-link support but was told that I need to fix static IP address before things can work. What the **** is that? Was told many technical issue about sub-net different, etc. Lastly the setup disc don't work with a Mac. (HaHa).

  • How to configure the Access point 1602 that I just purchased

    Hi Everyone,
    Hope you can help. I just purchased a AIR-SAP1602I-A-K9 from one internet vendor. Along with it I also purchased an power injector. I tried to use it as a standalone AP. It does not come with any instruction and I am not good at Wifi config. Hope you can help... My setting requirement is very simple:
    - Create and broadcast SSID called MYCSL
    -  Does not need any authentication or encrytion... (is this open authentication?...so that people just connect to the SSID that the user can start to cruise internet without putting in any keys.)
    - The access point does not need any static ip assigned, instead, it gets an ip from one of my dhcp server in the network.
    - How do I connect my laptop to configure it via web http?
    May you tell me what need to be configured? Although this is a new product from a legitimate retailer... Cisco said they could not support it without any Starnet contract... as a consumer...they should give kind of grace period to support the new products...ANyway, hope you can help me here :)
    Thank you very much for your help in advance.

    Hi Takamai,
    Thanks for marking the answer are correct.
    Sorry to say I didn't understand your question. But reading through line I assume your trying to broadcast the SSID..If that is the case you could use "guest-mode" command under the SSID but if you have multiple SSID to be broadcasted then you will have to use "mbssid guest-mode"
    Hope that helps

  • Dynamic VLAN on Access Point using RADIUS

    Hi.
    I am using a single Cisco 1130AG authenticating to RADIUS on Microsoft IAS (I do NOT have a WLC)
    I was wondering is it possible to use one flat SSID in my network and then dynamically assign VLANs to users based on matching of RADIUS Policy and RADIUS Return attributes?
    I have configured the attributes on radius as per documentation;
    * IETF 64 (Tunnel Type)—Set this to VLAN.
    * IETF 65 (Tunnel Medium Type)—Set this to 802.
    * IETF 81 (Tunnel Private Group ID)—Set this to VLAN ID.
    The returned VLAN ID exists on the Access Point and direct connection to the SSID without the return value works okay.
    Each time I connect the VLAN just defaults to the native VLAN for the SSID
    I think it may be impossible without WLC!
    HELP!!

    From what I found when using MBSSID it appears you cannot use dynamic VLANs.
    However you can use a single broadcasted SSID and various non-broadcast SSIDs with dynamic VLANs.
    Ideally a single SSID and dynamic VLANs via dot1x would be fine for my setup.
    However I have a specific wireless device which cannot use dot1x/EAP and therefore I need an second broadcast SSID to use for this. Which then causes the dynamic VLAN setup not to work.

  • How to delete wifi access point on E7 - mails won'...

    I have E7 with symbian anna. A while ago I had to restart my home wifi (due to storm) and during that process a new wifi access point (wlan(01) was created on my phone. After that - as far as I have now understood - my phone stopped syncronising gmails altogether. Also in my provider's network (outside wifi, elisa). In order for my phone to sync emails, i need to reboot it (or just turn it off and on, no need to get the three vibrations when turning off).
    Question 1) How do I delete this unncecssary wifi access point on E7? I was able to do it easily on my N900 but not on this E7.
    Question 2) Is it likely that the reason my phone stopped syncin gmails is related to this wifi issue? Pressing send & receive won't help, either, nothing happens. I have had this E7 for 1.5 months now, Symbian Anna I've had for 10 days and this problem started 5 days ago. Before that the mails flew in very nicely.

    To remove access poit, go to settings>connectivity>settings>Destination>Internet>long hold access point and select delete.
    For Gmail, don't use it, but if you remove/delete mailbox and then set it up again it should work fine, also heard that during set up if you reject terms and conditions and set up manually it works better ?

  • How to enable wireless access point for WRT300N

    From product data, "First, there’s the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without wires."
    I already have a WRT54GX-V2 setup to modem.
    My intention for this WRT300N is to extend the network connectivity without any lan cable running along my house for those devices which only support LAN wire.
    Try to search/google around, there is no hint/help to configure AP in WRT300N.
    May I know how should I configure WRT300N so that i will be as an access point to WRT45GX-V2 without any wired connection between these 2 router.
    Thanks.

    Is that mean I can do that with WAP4400N only if we want to sustain wireless-N mode?
    Yes. With standard firmware, yes. (If there is a N WET wireless bridge, that would do it, too, of course)
    Is there any way to configure WRT300N to connect to WRT54GX by wireless?
    It may be possible if you can flash third party firmware like dd-wrt on the router (either one). I would suggest to check the dd-wrt wiki for notes on which routers are supported and which not. However, a bad flash may brick your router and it is probably not covered by warranty then...
    If use wired connection, do I need to change any configuration vs. default factory setup?
    If you can run a wire I would suggest this setup.
    EDIT: as Ricewind correctly noted, the Linksys WETs are the wireless bridges. The WRE is a repeater.
