I need to bridge a printer off a wireless bridge using a 4402 WLAN Controller

I need to bridge a printer off a wireless bridge using a 4402 WLAN Controller. Would I need to make any changes on the 4402 WLAN Controller?

One options is to take a cisco autonmous access point and configure it as a WGB. And no, you would not have to do anything special to the WLC in thay deisgn. The WGB would act as a wireless client.
Make sense?

Can I turn off the wireless and use the wired connections at the same time?

Can I turn off the wireless and use the wired connections at the same time?
This is to avoid transmission when I work without the need for wireless

Yes, you can. Just open the web interface of the router. On your browser type the IP address of your router, usually http://192.168.1.1 go to wireless tab and disable it.

Connecting printer with a wireless bridge

I have an airport extreme base station. I am trying to connect a HP Photosmart 3200 printer. It has built in networking and I have a motorola wireless bridge to plug it into. What do I need to do? The tech at motorola said to see the range of the router ip addresses and to see if it was compatible with a DHCP wireless bridge. We did connect the bridge to my laptop and gave it the webkey. She wanted to assign it an IP address, but I wasn't sure it needed one. There is already a printer plugged into the USB and the printer does work with both my mac and wireless toshiba laptop when connected with a USB cable. TIA

You need to do two things.
Configure the Motorola Wireless Bridge to connect to your wireless network.
And then by connecting the printer to the bridge you need to configure the PhotoSmart 3200 to join your network.

How to connect a printer to a wireless connection using airport/time capsule

How do you connect a Cannon MP620 printer to the wireless network with my time capsule/airport? It was set up before but I've had to redo all the settings with a new Time Capsule and now the printer isn't working. Can't remember how I set it up before. Didn't seem that hard back then.
Thanks!

So you plugedd the printer into the time capsule usb right?
You need to re-add the printer in the system preferences one more time because the location has moved.

Can't connect my P1102w printer to my wireless network (using Mac OS 10.6)

I have a vanilla home wireless network (D-Link to a cable modem), and a MacMini running OS 10.6.8. My Mac laptop and 4th. Gen iPad work seamlessly. But my hours-long attempt to connect my new HP P1102w to the network has been totally frustrating, despite close study of the pdf documentation, the printer's self-test/Device configuration sheet, browsing this forum, watching a slew of YouTube/HP videos, and following all manner of directions.
The only consolation is the printer works fine on its USB connection.
Here are some issues I've encountered that have stopped me in my tracks:
Carefully following both the pdf instructions and HP's online how-to video, I get through Step 6 w/ no problemn. but then I go to Step 7, which says:
" Under Communication Mode , click Infrastructure , select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list, and then click the << button."
Problem is there's nothing of the kind in that window. All I see is a status of the Wireless: enable or disabled (depending on a choice). And even if I try selecting Enabled, it switches right back to Disabled. Aside: I note the printed instructions show a copyright date of 2011. That's ancient history in the CPU world.
Other issues: The only IP address I can find for the printer is the IPv4 address, but that's only for Direct Print Configuration. Is that the IP address I'm looking for?
The printer's hardward address, I assume, is its MAC ? Boy, I could sure use clearer use of language here.
So, needless to add, I'm stuck. It seems it should be THAT hard, but so far nothing I've been able to find on HP support or the forums seems to help. Thanks for any advice you can provide.
PS. I'd hate to have to return this printer because I'm a two decade HP printer lover, but, alas, I may have to if I can't find a solution.

Hi @Northwest-John,
I see by your post that you are unable to setup the printer on the wireless network. I can help you.
Update the printer's firmware by the USB connection just to make sure that isn't causing any issues with the printer's Embedded Web Server (EWS) not allowing the proper changes. HP LaserJet P1102w Firmware Update Utility.
The newest version is 20130703, which you can compare by printing the configuration page.
Power cycle the router and restart the Mac.
The printer won't recognize the network name if there usually is any symbols or spaces in the network name.
Make sure Safari is set as the default browser. Sometimes the Embedded Web Server (EWS) won't open in other browsers. Open Safari, across the top select the Safari menu, select Preferences, General, set as default.
Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are cleared.
(hold down the x button and when the printer makes a noise let go)
Connect the USB cable from the printer to the Mac.
Go to the Apple, system preferences, print and fax.
Double click on the P1102w.
Open the utility.
Click printer setup.
Click HTML config.
This should open the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Click the Networking tab.
Click Wireless from the list on the left.
(Click Enable if you have this option)
Under Communication Mode , click Infrastructure.
Select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list and then click the << button so the network name moves over to other box.
From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication , click WEP, WPA/WPA2 or open . Your selection depends on which Wireless Security Protocol your network uses.
Make sure you select either hexadecimal or alpha depending on your password. (very important)
Apply the settings.
In the confirmation box, (changes have been saved) click OK.
You should get a solid blue light on the printer shortly.
Then all we have to do is delete the USB driver and add the network driver.
Click on the Apple.
Click system preferences.
Click the print and fax icon.
Highlight the printer and click on the - sign to delete the printer. (USB driver)
Disconnect the USB cable.
Then click the + sign and select the printer from the list and click add. (P1102w bonjour)
Test the printer.
If you have any issues with the HTML config opening then do the following steps:
Close any applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, computer, MAC harddrive, Library, Printers, HP, LaserJet, click on folder for your printer, click on EWS browser or HTML config, click the Networking tab, click wireless on the left and fill out your information. (make sure infrastructure is selected) Apply settings.
Then delete the USB driver and add the network printer.
Let me know if you are still having issues with filling out the EWS for the printer.
Have a nice day!

Bridging VS turning off existing wireless

First off I'm still trying to figure all this out. I do not understand most of the "lingo" thrown around this forum. So with that said...I've read several places that if I have a current wireless/modem router combo (see below) ya just have to set-up to "bridge" the TC. Correct? But is the TC then handling the wireless transmission or is the current wireless still being used? I obviously don't know what bridge means or does.
Or should I just turn off the current wireless being handled by the Verizon router/modem? Any advise is appreciated.
Current hardware is the Verizon supplied Actiontec GT704WG

If you have a modem/router already setup and you want to add a Time Capsule, you would use the AirPort Utility application to configure the Time Capsule. The Connection Sharing setting for the TC would be set to "Off(Bridge Mode)" in this case. You would connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on your Verizon to the WAN port on your TC.
The reason for this is that you can only have one router in charge of IP addresses (known as DHCP) on the network. If you place another router behind the first modem/router, the second must be set up in Bridge Mode to allow the first to remain in charge of DHCP. Bridge mode simply means that the TC is receiving its network instructions from the other router. Otherwise, IP address conflicts will prevent proper operation on your network.
If you configure the TC to "create a wireless network", then it will do so. If your Verizon is also creating a wireless network, you will have two wireless networks. You could choose to turn one off if you wanted to, or use one network for slower devices and the other for faster devices.

Need Help using WRT54GL as Wireless Bridge for Xbox

Hi.
I need help configuring my WRT54GL as a wireless bridge for my xbox.
I have a Billion BiPAC 7404VGO currently in service as my main router/modem. i.e. I have my ADSL connection and PC connected to this. I also connect to this with a laptop.
I have an original xbox at the other end of the house (cat5 NOT an option).
Basically I want to connect my xbox to the rest of network. I have a WRT54GL I can use for this. I just dont know how to set it up.
The WRT54GL has Firmware Version: v4.30.7 (out of the box).
My Wireless network is using WPA.
I have a VPN setup through to work via the Billion.
The idea is to stream media from my PC to the xbox (media centre).
Any help would be HUGELY appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

A wireless router is a device which requires its own wired internet connection. A wireless router is not a wireless access point like the Linksys WAPs. A wireless router does not connect wireless to other wireless routers/APs with standard Linksys firmware. With Linksys firmware you need a WAP54G or similar. The WAPs support wireless bridging and repeater mode.
If you already have a WRT54GL then you have to install a 3rd party firmware which adds wireless bridging capabilities. Read the wikipedia article on "WRT54G" for information about which WRT models support 3rd party firmware and an overview of projects and links.
Remember, however, that you may brick your router if you install a 3rd party firmware incorrectly and you probably void the warranty if you install 3rd party firmware (it is even possible to find out after you restore the original Linksys firmware if you don't clear the NVRAM before).

Is it possible to turn off the wireless signal on the Airport Extreme?

Is it possible to temporarily turn off the wireless signal being emitted from an Airport Extreme whilst still remaining connected to the internet via ethernet? If so, what do you need to do to turn off the wireless signal?
Also, how strong is the wireless signal? If placed in a basement of a residential property, is it likely that the signal would reach two floors above?
Thanks very much for your answers.

Welcome to the discussions!
Is it possible to temporarily turn off the wireless signal being emitted from an Airport Extreme whilst still remaining connected to the internet via ethernet? If so, what do you need to do to turn off the wireless signal?
Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab located just under the row of icons
Wireless Mode = None
Update to save your new settings
You can reverse the process to turn the wireless back on when you are ready.
Also, how strong is the wireless signal? If placed in a basement of a residential property, is it likely that the signal would reach two floors above?
It's just not possible to accurately predict wireless performance in advance for any installation. A guess would be that the signal will be very weak, and likely unusable, but you won't know for sure until you try it out in your house.

Sending specific Vlan across wireless bridge

Hello All,
I would like to know how I can send a specific VLAN across a wireless bridge. Currently, we have a building across the street from our main office that's connected via a wireless bridge (no physical cabling). One of the switches in building 1 has a port in VLAN 206 (10.20.6.0/24) which connects to the wireless bridge (10.20.6.3) on that building. The wireless bridge in building 2 is 10.20.6.4 and connects to a router on the same subnet. So both bridges, the switch in building 1, and the router in building 2 are all on the same subnet. I need to send VLAN 60 across this wireless bridge so that the workstations in building 2 can go out to the Internet. As a side note, VLAN 60 is unrouted and is it's own subnet which has it's own firewall and web filter. My thought on this is that if I can get the wireless bridges to send VLAN 60 to building 2, then all I would need to do is add the workstations to that VLAN on the switch in that building and all should be well. I'm just not sure what I need to configure on the bridges and how building 2 should be configured seeing that the 2nd bridge connects to a router instead of a switch. Any tips, suggestions, and help would be great!
Thanks,
Terence

assume that i have two bridges Br-root , and Br-nonroot and i want to send traffic from multiple vlans across the wireless link, all you need to have is infrastructure-ssid on the native vlan. Then define the required subinterfaces on both radio and ethernet of root and non-root.
Example: ( vlan 1 , 2 , and three )
Root(config)#dot11 ssid test
                 #authentication open
                 #vlan 1
                 #infrastructure-ssid
                #exit
Root(config)#interface dot11radio 0
                 #ssid test
                 #station-role root bridge
                 #no shut
                #exit
Root(config)#interface dot11rdio0.1
                 #encapsulation dot1q 1 native
                #bridge-group 1
               #exit
Root(config)#interface dot11rdio0.2
                 #encapsulation dot1q 2
                #bridge-group 2
               #exit
Root(config)#interface dot11rdio0.3
                 #encapsulation dot1q 3
                #bridge-group 3
               #exit
Root(config)#interface fa0.1
                 #encapsulation dot1q 1 native
                #bridge-group 1
               #exit
Root(config)#interface fa0.2
                 #encapsulation dot1q 2
                #bridge-group 2
               #exit
Root(config)#interface fa0.3
                 #encapsulation dot1q 3
                #bridge-group 3
               #exit
for the non-root , same config but the station-role should be non-root
Enjoy

Wireless bridge - encrypting all VLANs

I'm bridging two VLANs across a wireless bridge link. I have the following configuration:
dot11 ssid bridge
vlan 1
authentication open
interface Dot11Radio1
ssid bridge
station-role root bridge
interface Dot11Radio1.1
encapsulation dot1Q 1 native
bridge-group 1
interface Dot11Radio1.2
encapsulation dot1Q 2
bridge-group 2
interface FastEthernet0
interface FastEthernet0.1
encapsulation dot1Q 1 native
bridge-group 1
interface FastEthernet0.2
encapsulation dot1Q 2
bridge-group 2
If I want to encrypt this link with WEP on all vlans, which configuration would apply?
this?
int dot11radio1
encryption key 1 size 128bit 7 63D14E186CB92CC74122FD345E51 transmit-key
encryption mode wep mandatory
this?
int dot11radio1
encryption vlan 1 key 1 size 128bit 7 803EC038BBEA5C207F4663056E3B transmit-key
encryption vlan 1 mode wep mandatory
or this?
int dot11radio1
encryption vlan 1 key 1 size 128bit 7 803EC038BBEA5C207F4663056E3B transmit-key
encryption vlan 1 mode wep mandatory
encryption vlan 2 key 1 size 128bit 7 803EC038BBEA5C207F4663056E3B transmit-key
encryption vlan 2 mode wep mandatory

if anyone's interested, it appears that this config is enough:
int dot11radio1
encryption vlan 1 key 1 size 128bit 7 803EC038BBEA5C207F4663056E3B transmit-key
encryption vlan 1 mode wep mandatory
apparently, all VLANs become encrypted just with this config. WEP configuration for additional VLANs is ignored. I configured mismatching keys for vlan 2 on both sides, I could still bridge vlan 2 traffic.
This of course applies to bridging only. AP configuraiton would require correct keys for all vlans.

Can I use my Airport Extreme as a wireless bridge?

Can I use my Airport Extreme as a wireless bridge?

When you say "wireless bridge", I assume that you want the AirPort Extreme to receive a wireless signal and provide an Ethernet output, correct?
If you have another Apple router providing your "main" wireless network, the AirPort Extreme could possibly be configured to "Extend a wireless network".
In that setting, the Extreme provides more wireless coverage and Ethernet ports are enabled, so you could connect an Ethernet device that way.
But, the AirPort Extreme cannot do this with a product from another manufacturer.
So, in order to answer your question specifically, can you provide the make and model number of your "main" router?

Ical printing off page! Need help!

I posted this message yesterday, but haven't gotten any help. I need to print my calendars but I can't. PLEASE, SOMEBODY HELP!
I print my calendars on an Epson 3000. Never had any real problems printing until 10.4.4 was installed yesterday. This is the problem: I print only the monthly view. At first, the calendar was printing off the top of the page and off the right side of the page. I tried to change the paper choice in "print" and used the letter small which at least got the full month name and the little calenders on the top of the page. However, still can't get the whole month on. It prints off the right side. Tried using the "layout" in my Epson print dialogue which has a "scale to paper". That didn't work. I even tried changing the paper sizes and playing with that. It seems that I need to change the margins, but that isn't really an option (or is it?). I've been waiting for an ical that has a smaller point size and can't wait to print these. So someone, please help me.
I wouldn't mind removing the "page #" from the bottom right to try to get a larger calender area on the page, but I can live with that.

I got the latest version off the Adobe website. I will look for the more updated version.
Do you have an answer to my question. I don't think it is related to the version I'm using.
Thanks.

Every time i need to print something, I've to turn the print off and on again, any solutions?

Ok, I have a HP D110, installed wirelessly on a laptop mac OS X, everything works well, besides every time I need to print something, I've to turn the printer off and on to start print, like on a gap of 5 min. between jobs I have to do it, when it suppose to wake up as soon as you send a job to print I guess. I don't wanna have to go where the printer is all the time I need to print some, otherwise I'd use the cable connection, if anyone have solutions or experience the same prob, I'm looking for answers to solve this.
Thank you.
Alfred!

Hi Alfred,
Please check for any available firmware update:
