HOW TO SET UP A BELKIN ROUTER AS A WDS

Does anyone have an idea of how make a belkin wireless router into a WDS. Airport utility cant or wont see my Base station so Im thinking I have to do throught the Belkin Web wizard. Im trying to extend my network with the aid of an Airport Express station and the nice people at the apple store told me this would not be a problem, but it is turning out to be one,

Hi Stephen,
Please see my earlier questions on a similar subject re WDS functionality in non AAPL environment with Airport Express. I was advised similarly by a dealer that the solution could be found with Airport Express. Unfortunately it does not seem so. Maybe AAPL need to put out an APB on the subject to their dealers!

How do I set up my Belkin router to forward ftp port to macMini?

I am trying to set up my spare macMini (non-intel) as an ftp server, but I am not able to connect to the ftp server (office) from a remote location with my MacBook Pro (home). I have tried to make the right settings as below:
1. forwarded ports 20 and 21 on my Belkin router to the private IP of my macMini (192.168.2.15)
2. set up a dynamic dns account xxx.dyndns.org so that this domain is updated with the current public IP
3. set Sharing Preferences to allow ftp access and turned off the Firewall
I think the port forwarding info is not correct because it does connect if I use the DMZ setting and hard code the public IP to the private IP.
Any help appreciated,
Cynthia

Are you sure that your Internet Service Provider (ISP) doesn't block the ftp ports?
Is is fairly common these days for ISPs not to allow any kind of file server on ordinary household contracts.
Anyway, I'd suggest you rule that out before you get further into the intricacies of port forwarding.
I also hope that you only have the firewall turned off for the ftp ports -- or if not, that your router has firewall protection.

How to Set up a Belkin F1UP0001 wireless print server in TIGER?

Hi,
I've been trying to make HP Laserjet 1220 work with Mac, it works in Windows 2000, but when i downloaded the universal/binary driver at HP website the printer is not working, so i decided to attached my old printer server :(( and i dont know how to do it, the belkin server could actually communicate with MAc since it printed an information about IP addresses...
Also, there anyway that i cold get teh proper printer driver for HP laserjet 1220?
Your reply could actually make my life easier, i've been trying to fix these for a week already.
Ciao!

Thanks for the reply.
Sorry but I am a bit of a network novice. In all the literature from apple re timecapsule setup it shows that you connect Lan from modem to Wan on Timecapsule. Why do you suggest connecting Lan to Lan? Can I not disable router function of Belkin modem and use Timecapsule as router?
Thanks.

How to set up time capsule with router

I have a router N 300 and would like to buy time capsule but I did not find any information how to set up bouth devises. Thanks

You can always bridge the Time Capsule.. it is easy. Once bridged the time capsule will no longer route. All routing is then handled by the original router.. N300 (which could be belkin or netgear and maybe other people call then N300). It will still work as a wireless access point.. unless you turn it off, a switch with WAN now allocated to LAN, and a network drive.
Just look up bridge.
But there are other ways to do things. You could replace the N300, unless it is a modem.. in which case you can bridge that and use pppoe client on the TC (if you ISP does pppoe).

How to set up Airport Express to extend Buffalo WHR HP 54g wireless router

Contrary to what official Apple policy is, it is possible to use Airport Express as a remote repeater using a Buffalo router.
I sent hours setting up this network and wish to share what I learned
I only wanted to use the Airport Express as a repeater to distribute the internet to the far reaches of the house--no iTunes, no Printer, and I did not bother setting security. If you want to add any of those features please make sure that the basic setup is working as described below. I have no idea how to successfully set up these features. My advice is to search the internet for guidance.
Anyway: how to set up the Buffalo wireless access router to work with Airport Express
Setting up the Buffalo:
From the routers home page of 192.168.11.1, hit the "advanced" box at the top
1.     Go the "Wireless config"   "basic" item. Give name to your network (spaces are allowed), lets call it "WIRENAME" and select wireless channel 1 or 6 or 11. These channels have the least interference and will tend to work when the others do not.
2.     Go the the "repeater" item under Wireless config. . " Enable" repeater/bridge (WDS). Next register the MAC address of the Airport Express. Record both the LAN and Wireless MAC addresses.
That is about it. Your Buffalo system Info page should look like this

How to set up TimeCapsule (4th) to create own private (wired) network behind Airport Express (5th) that is set up to join existing wifi-network of fritz adsl modem/router?

I work in an office building with free Wifi to connect to the Internet. I want to be able to use this internetconnection, but at the same time I want to shield of my own wired network.
I've made the following configuration:
- fritz adsl modem / router
- Airport Extreme (5th gen) set up to join existing wireless network (green light, works)
- Lan-cable from lan-port AE to wan-port TC (4th gen)
- Lan-cable from TC to Mac
- Lan-cable from TC to Printer
When I set my TC (network-settings) in bridge-mode everything works fine, but my Mac and Printer get an IP-address from the fritz modem / router and are visible to others.
I tried to set TC in NAT/DHCP-mode, but then I get the error message that I should set a static IP-adress for TC. When I set TC in DHCP-mode, it looses connection to the AE. I'm not sure what to do now. Does anyone know how to set up my TC and create my own private network and still be able to get on the internet?

Is there a better alternative? I'd rather not want to reset my TC every day.
You are using free internet.. so there is a price to pay.. that is convenience and non-ideal network setup.
The better alternative is to pay for your own connection. Then you are completely free of the possibility of others in the bullding seeing your connection. (as long as you secure the wireless).
But I think you are probably over worrying about public wifi.. if it is setup right.. ask the building admins.. it should be setup so each user cannot see another users connection. This is typical for most wifi setup and simply means you can see internet connection but nobody else on the connection. ie other wireless users.
Having a router with NAT makes it then more secure again and allows clients on your own network to interact with each other. But you can setup wireless to the free wifi for every client.. (depending on how many IP you are allowed).. and run a secondary network without internet access. This is easy for desktop etc where you have a wireless and a wired connection but less convenient for mobile devices.. unless you use a cloud connection and each client can link and share via that.
Have I made the explanation worse??
Think of it this way.. if you had 3 laptops.. all 3 could connect to the internet from the building wifi.. but they cannot talk to each other or share resources in local office. You can put resources out in the cloud, that can be shared.. but that adds traffic and most free services are not fast.
Now you can also plug all three into Time Capsule by ethernet.. and share local resources. Files, printers backup etc. This network is not connected to the internet at all. Each laptop has internet via free wifi and local connection.
For devices like iphones that have no ethernet or other method.. you could use local wireless and public wireless.. but in turns.. still the only advantage is less issues with double NAT.. if that causes problems.. then this is an alternative.

NEED info on How to Set Router to access just one website???

Ok here we go again, Finally found out it's my Linksys not letting me onto one website..I had a 310N and thought that was the problem so went out and bought a 610N ..same darn thing just won't let me access one website I need to sell my goods for income. I remove linksys from my modem and plug it directly into one of my computers and I got the website..Yes it's a Linksys problem !!!
I need some info on how to set up a access point in my router's setting to let me log on to this website www.denofangels or http://74.86.166.210/
Is it time for me to call the support team??????????????
I'm running XP on my computers, have 3 of the 4 computers using wirelessN adapters and on the main computer is the WRT 610
Help Please ....linksysDoll
Gone Nutz trying to figure out Linksys again!!

MY Internet provider is Time Warner / Roadrunner cable..Does this help you to solve my problem. Nothing wrong with the modem..just my wrt 610N settings, I'm guessing it carried over from my wrt 310N..this was working fine until a couple of months ago and then nothing for this one website.
I'm running XP
Thank you in advance for any help or info

How to set up the airport express with a linksys wireless-g broadband router

I need to know if and how to set up an airport express to use to extend a home wi-fi network. I have AT&T service with a 2WIRE modem. I am using a Linksys wireless-G broadband router. I also have the new Macbook Air notebook. The airport express keeps giving me a blinking amber light even when the ethernet cable (from the modem) connected. Please let me know how to set up an extended wifi network using this system. Any help would be appreciated.

If that is all that is done, the Express would not provide more wireless coverage. Instead, it would duplicate the coverage provided by the Linksys and there would be two WiFi systems covering approximately the same area. As per my above comment, one Express connects via Ethernet to the Linksys. The second Express provides the extension.
You must have misunderstood what I was saying.
Linksys is providing a wireless network.
The Express is connected to one of the LAN ports on the Linksys router using a long Ethernet cable (or Ethernet powerline adapters)
The Express is located on the other side of the house, for example.
The Express is configured to create a wireless network using the same wireless network name, security and password as the Linksys router
The Express is configured in Bridge Mode
This has worked quite well for me for years. Computers "switch" from one wireless access point to another smoothly and automatically while they move around the house.
Although this is an "extended" network, it is technically known as a "roaming" network.
This is what I was suggesting as a possible alternative without having to buy more hardware.

Using AX as wireless router, how to set up w/ security and airtunes on XP

I previously had a Linksys wireless router. I just purchased an Airport express to use as the wireless router (and remove the Linksys router) as well as use the Airtunes functionality.
After some trial and error, I have been able to wireless connect my computer to the AX on it's own (the linksys router is now unplugged and out of the equation). I can connect to the internet fine on my PC (XP Pro SP2).
Trouble is, when I use the Network Setup Assistant, it shows the apple network listed, but it can't connect to it, no matter how many times I try, reboot my machine or reboot the AX. I've tried both the "setting up a new network" and "editing an existing network" option, and in each selection, after a few minutes of trying to connect to the network, I just get a failure message.
If I try and use the Admin utility, nothing shows up in the left-hand list window, and when I Press re-scan, still nothing shows (it doesn't even appear to scan).
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I can't find simple instructions on how to set up the AX as the only wireless router for a PC and set up security and Airtunes (I'm assuming enabling airtunes is done in these applications, as I haven't seen anything about that yet either).
Any ideas on how this is done with a PC? Much thanks!

I have found the 'DHCP Reservations' option on the AirPort Extreme to be buggy. I seem to remember it causing IP conflicts for some reason. I think what I remember is that if the computer with the reservation was off, and the DHCP server then handed out that IP to another DHCP client, then there would be a conflict when the reserved IP computer was turned back on. Maybe it was an issue in ealier versions of the AE or OS X as the case may be, and maybe it's been corrected, but I've never bothered using it agian since the method I describe below has always worked without fail. Also, I'm guessing DHCP Reservations would work fine if one manually enters IPs outside of the DHCP range but in the AE 'DHCP Reservation Setup Assistant' the IP options provided are within the DHCP range which to me makes no sense and increases the potential for IP conflicts.
Here's what I do to setup a mixed environment of static and dynamic IPs on my network. It works like a charm and does not require the DHCP server (beyond the distribution of dynamic IPs to hosts using DHCP).
For machines on my network that are accepting services from the public network, I set them up with static IPs using the 'Manually' option (System Preferences/Network/Ethernet/Configure IPv4). The settings for 'Router' IP address and 'DNS Server' IP address should both be set with your gateway/router LAN IP). Use an IP address below or above the DHCP range of adresses (in AE/Internet/DHCP/DHCP Beginning & Ending Address).
i.e. if my subnet is 10.0.1.1 and my DHCP range is 10.0.1.100 to 10.0.1.150, you could set the static IPs on your local hosts as 10.0.1.x where x = any number from 2 - 99 or from 151 - 200 as an example.
All other machines and devices that do not require static routing are setup as DHCP clients and get a dynamic IP from the AE. To me it's a simpler setup though it might take a little extra time to setup initially.

I have a dvr and I want to monitor from my phone. this worked when I had a Belkin router that let me open ports. I use "canyouseeme" and it can't see 80, 9000 or 1025. How do I make them available?

I have a Lorex DVR that I want to monitor from my IPhone and IPad. I used to be able to do this when I had a Belkin router (easy to open ports) but I bought the AirPort Extreme router and no longer have that capability. When I use "canyouseeme" they can NOT see 80, 9000 or 1025. Lorex says I need them all available in order to access. Help! And all the help I see refers to a earlier version of the AirPort Utility so I cant use those to look at anything, I cant find the same screens, I have version 6.1 (610.31). I also don't really understand how ports work, so I need a pretty basic explanation.

Well...I went to the modem (Westell, WireSpeed), found the NAT settings, once again, I'm WAY over my head, I am assuming this is a TCP connection (as opposed to a UDP) and per Lorex my mobile devices will use port 1025. So I gave it a "global port range" of 1-10 and I indicated that the "base host port" was 80, 1025, & 9000 (ports 1,2,3). When I selected the 'enable' it asked for a "host devise" my choices are my IPhone, IMac and the IP address for the dvr, so I choose the dvr. I still cannot connect and canyouseeme still can NOT find these open ports. This is taking up my whole day! I don't know how people figure this stuff out.

How to set up router as base station

Hi -
I've recently purchased an Airport Express for the purpose of playing music from iTunes on my stereo. I've plugged the AE into my wall outlet and hooked up cables to my stereo. The AE is now flashing amber, which I understand means that I still need to establish a connection to a network.
Because my desktop uses a DSL internet connection, I acquired and set up a Netgear wireless router. My goal is to have my AE (as client) communicate with my router (as base station) wirelessly.
I tried using Airport Express Setup Assistant, but it scans for a base station and tells me it can't find one.
When I try using the Base Station Chooser on the Airport Admin Utility, it asks for the IP address and password of my base station. This presupposes that I know how to set up a base station.
Can anyone help me set up my router as a base station?
Thanks
John

When I open up Network Connections, I do not see any
reference to a wireless network. When Netgear
configured my router, did they necessarily set up a
wireless network? If so, how do I find it?
The Netgear is either configured by the supplied Netgear configuration utility or via a web browser.
Check the manual on how to do this.
Also, when I open Airport Setup Assistant, I receive
an error message stating that my computer has no
wireless interface enabled or Windows isn't set up to
manage wireless networks.
In this can you will need to use the Airport Admin Utility rather than the Setup Assistant.
It tells me to either
enable the wireless interface and allow Windows to
configure a wireless network, or to configure the
base station using Ethernet.
Which of these options
should I be pursuing?
Using ethernet, plug the Airport initially into the Netgear router.

How do you set up a wireless router for laptops only?
