Join Two Internet Connection

Hi Everybody and thanks for your time.
At home i have two internet connections, the first one is an airport extreme (802.11g), wich sends the signal to another airpot extreme also 802.11g, in a WDS network, the reason is that the 1st internet connection is in my neighbors house, (I share connection with him, and my desktop mac doesn't have airport card), i recently received as a gift from my telephone company a free year subscription to the internet, this one is in my house, with no wireless capabilities, (unless, and thats what im thinking of, buy an airport express), but i don't want to be switching between two diferent connections, i wanna know if i can join the both connections into the airport extreme in my house by using a new airport express.
I Apreciate any given help, Thanks for your time

...i wanna know if i can join the both connections into the airport extreme in my house by using a new airport express.
Not sure what you are asking.
The AirPort Express (AX) can join your current wireless network as a client OR it could connect via Ethernet to your new internet connection. It can NOT connect to both networks at the same time.

  • Can i have two internet connections connected to two airport extremes separately without disturbing the home sharing option.

    can i have two internet connections connected to two airport extremes separately without disturbing the home sharing option. i want to have both the airport extremes to use a single imac for streaming music or video to my apple tv's at different places where one apple tv is in the range of one airport extreme.it's not a problem if both airport extremes have different wifi id's with separate internet.The imac which i use for streaming the music and videos is only in the range of only one airport extreme.is it possible if i can stream music or videos to my apple tv which is not in the range of same airport extreme which i use for imac but in the range of other airport extreme.
    Finally what i need is i want to use two internet networks as my highest possible internet bandwidth is about 1mbps.and i know that i cant mix both the networks and make it as 2mbps.

    Yes, that is possible. Please check out the following Apple Support article for details on how.

  • Use my two internet connections at the same time

    I have two internet connections via AirPort, and one another via Ethernet.
    Can I assign which applications use the connection using AirPort and other
    Ethernet connection?

    Probably the EASIST way is to buy a router that does this for you. There are several on the market that can 'gang' two connections, then allow clients to use both together.
    No doubt there would be a way to do internally, but to be honest, I'd have no idea where to even tell you to start, but I bet it involves the Terminal.

  • Using two internet connections at the same time

    Is there a way to setup my Mac to see both a wireless and a wired internet connection, so I can combine the speed of the the connections? If not within the computer, is there a way to do it some other way?

    Hi
    You can have two connections on your machine one wireless one ethernet but you cannot combine the two for a greater connection , you need to use one or the other you cannot use both at the same time as one connection

  • Connecting two networks with two internet connections

    Hi All
    The situation is this. Two firms situated next door to each other and linked by their businesses and by their family ties, wish to connect their two networks together. They both have internet connections. The reason is for security, in the event of one internet going down they can use the other one.
    As I see it, we could use a wireless bridge/repeater to connect the two ethernets together, turn off DHCP in both networks, and manually configure the IP addresses on one network to say 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.100 and set the gateway as the router address in that network, again manually allocated. Then on the other network set the scope to 192.168.1.101 to 192.168.1.200 with the router on that network set in this range.
    In the event of failure of one internet connection, it would just require the gateway to be changed for those pcs to access the router on the other network.  I know of a little program which would do that automatically.
    Would this work? If so which Linksys equipment would I need to bridge the two networks. I know some equipment will do the bridging and allow wireless clients to connect, so that would be useful, I know it slows it down by half, but this might be acceptable.
    Will there be other problems rearing their ugly heads which I haven't considered.
    The networks are not large, so manual IP configuration is not a problem.
    Thanks

    I presume both networks are using wireless connections.  If you can see your neighbour's network on your computer and vice versa, all you need is the passphrase to connect.  You may have to disable filter mac address in your router.

  • ASA 5505 - 2 Internet Connections, Problems with the Default Route

    Hey there,
    i have a Problem at a Customer Site at the moment. The customer uses an ASA 5505 with two internet connections attached to it. On the first connection (which is the only one in use at the moment) he has some Static-PAT's from Outside to Inside where he translates different services to the internal servers. He also has a site-2-site VPN terminating there and AnyConnect.
    He now wants to switch the Internet Traffic from Inside to the new Internet Connection. Therefore changing the default route to that new ISPs Gateway. The problem now is, that no traffic recieved on the old "outside" Interface is transmitted back out of that old "outside" Interface. And this happens although the "same-security permit intra-interface" command is set.
    Can you tell me what's wrong here? For every Static-PAT from outside to inside there is also a dynamic PAT from inside to outside. But the ASA seems to ignore this. I have not looked into the Logs yet, was too busy finding the problem because i had no real time window to test on the productive ASA.
    Can it be achieved in any way? Having a default route on the ASA which leads any traffic to the second internet connection while still having connections on the first internet connection where no explicit route can be set? Because connections arrive from random IPs?
    Many thanks for your help in advance!

    Phillip, indeed , I have as well read may comments,it all depends on your environment as they all differ from one another, you best bet is to have a good solid plan for upgrade and fall back. You do have a justification to upgrade for features needed, so I would suggest the following:
    1- Do a search again in forum for ASA code upgrades and look at comments from users that have gone through this process and note their impact in fuctionality if any. I believe this is good resource to collect information .
    2- Very important , look into release notes for a particular version. For example version 8.0, look into open CAVEATS usually at the end of the link page, reading the open bugs gives you clues what has not yet been resolved for that particular code and if in fact could impact you in your environment, it is possible that a particular bug does not realy apply to your environment becuase you have yet not implemented that particualr configuration. Usually we all try to aim towards a GD (General Deployment) code which is what we all understand is most stable but not necesarily means you have to be stack in that code waiting for another GD release, in my personal experience I have upgraded our firewall from 7.2 to 8.0(3) long ago and had no issues, and recently upgraded to 8.0(4)when it was first release in August this year.
    Release notes
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/prod_release_notes_list.html
    3- AS a good practice precaution -
    a-Backup firewall configs in clear text as well as via tftp code.
    b-Backup running code and ASDM version code currently running in firewall.
    c- Save the output of " show version " to have as reference for all the feature licenses you currently have running as asll as activation keys - good info to have to compare with after upgrade.
    d- Ensure that the code you will be using to upgrade also uses correct ASDM version code.
    I think with thorough assesment and preparation you can indeed minimize impact.

  • Feeble internet connection SBS 2011 ADSL & optic fiber backup

    I have two internet connections, one with ADSL, a cisco router and an IPCOP firewall and second with optic fiber and a watchguard firewall. It is either one or the other as I’m testing my internet connection. All this attached to a switch
    with an SBS 2011. My problem is that my internet connection with either setup is feeble. When I try to reach google, I sometimes get errors and I constantly loose connection on Skype. When I’m RWW it randomly loses the connection without changing IP. I would
    like to test my network without a variable: SBS 2011. As you know if the server is down nobody can get out and nobody will get in. So for testing purposes what would you recommend that I do in order to shut down the server and test my internet connection?
    Even posting this was a problem. Cheers.

    Hi:
    SBS relies on DNS for RWA, Internet Access and such.  Try this:  Connect one of the routers, preferable the faster one, to the switch, remove the other, and go back through the console wizards to verify you have input the correct entries as
    provided by the ISP for that connection.  Note that the ONLY reference to DNS anywhere in your network should be the IP of the SBS, and the SBS should have either the DNS of your ISP (or other known good DNS servers) as forwarders OR root hints as the
    lookup for DNS from the SBS DNS server. You can verify this by start - admin tools -dns - rclick server name - forwarders tab.
    For RWA from the outside the necessary ingredients are a stable connection and proper public DNS settings.  For SBS we normally see an A record at the public DNS host for "remote.your-domain-name.tld" pointing to the external public static IP address
    assigned by your ISP to the external interface of your router/firewall.
    If all the settings are as described and it is still flakey you may be cursed with unreliable internet service and nothing you can do will overcome that.

  • Multiple Vlans with multiple Internet connections using PBR

    Hello all,
    I'm trying to wrap my head around this configuration and not having a lot of success.  I have several Vlans 3,6,71,72,160, and 180.  I have two internet connections, Internet1 is connected to an ASA5510 and Internet2 is connected to a Meraki MX80.  I'm using two 4506 switches on my backbone trunked to 3750 switches that my clients connect to.  None of these switches have IP Services and my 4506 supervisor does not have an Enterprise license. However I do have one 3750 100Mbit switch with IP Services so I'm using that to do my PBR.  All my routing is currently being done on the 4506 switches and all Internet traffic is going to the ASA.  What I would like to do is force vlan160 and vlan180 through the Meraki as their Internet connection and the rest of the Vlans go through the ASA.  I'm thinking about trunking my vlans from the 4506 to the 3750 (the one with IP Services) and use policy based routing from there to force vlan160 and vlan180 to the Meraki.  But in order to do this I think I would have to move my routing onto the 3750 switch but since that is only 100Mbits I'm thinking this is going to choke my network down and defeat the purpose of the 4506 backbones.  Any suggestions or alternate ways to achieve my goal?
    Appreciate any help you guys can send my way.

    What is the speed of the connection from the 4500 to the ASA and what is the combined speeds of the internet connections ?
    You definitely don't want to do all the inter vlan routing on the 3750. You could connect it up as shown in your diagram but leave all the routing between vlans on the 4500s. Then you -
    1) connect the 3750 to the 4500 using a L3 point to point link
    2) connect the 3750 to the ASA using a L3 point to point link
    3) do PBR on the 3750 interface connected to the 4500 for traffic coming from the 4500.
    If the 4500 supervisor/IOS version doesn't support routed links on that end just use an access port in a dedicated vlan ie. no other ports in the vlan and create a new SVI for it.
    You would need to update your routing to reflect the next hop on the ASA, Meraki, 3750 and the 4500.
    Disadvantages are -
    1) you only have fast ethernet ports on the 3750 so if the combined internet speed is greater than that then it will be a bottleneck.
    2) it is a single point of failure ie. if it is lost all internet via both connections is lost.
    The alternative would be to not have the 3750 in the path but connected to the 4500 via a trunk link and then route just vlan 160 and 180 on the 3750 ie. move their SVI(s) onto the 3750. Then the 3750 could have a direct connection to the Meraki device and point the default route that way (no PBR needed). The trunk would only allow those specific vlans on it.  This would mean a failure of the 3750 would not mean ASA internet lost but it would mean loss of connectivity for the two vlans routed on the 3750.
    You would need to add routes to the Meraki for return traffic plus routes on the 3750 and 4500 for inter vlan routing.
    The main disadvantages here are -
    1) inter vlan routing between the vlans routed on the 4500s and the vlans on the 3750 will be limited by the 100Mbps connection. However you could use an etherchannel trunk so you could get greater overall throughput and some redundancy
    2) more importantly though i suspect you are running HSRP between the 4500s for the client vlans and moving the SVIs onto the 3750 means a single point of failure for those vlans. 
    Personally i would tend towwards option 1) because of the SVI HSRP issue and perhaps because there may be a lot of inter vlan traffic and even with an etherchannel it would be too much. 
    But, single point of failure issues aside, a lot does depend on internet bandwidth in option 1) vs inter vlan traffic in option 2).
    So it's a tradeoff and personally i don't think either are ideal  so i'll have another think on this in the morning to see if there is anything more obvious that i have missed or maybe someone else will add to the post.

  • Failover internet connection on Windows server

    Hello,
    Is it possible on Windows server if i have two internet connections connected from different ISP's(with Different IP's) and two NIC cards are connected, if one of the
    internet connection(Primary) goes down , the other one(secondary) replaces automatically. And similarly primary should take over once it is back online again. I am using windows server 2008 R2.As far as i know windows server allow only one gateway.
     Is there any solution?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    It is recommended to configure only one default gateway on any multihomed computer. Because the default gateway is a global configuration for the server, not a setting that set for each network adapter(NIC).
    According to your description, the 2 NICs are connected to different network(with different gateway). If you set default gateway in TCP/IP properties of each NIC, you may open the Command Prompt, type “route print” and hit Enter. 2 default gateway entry
    will be listed, no matter which NIC is connected, the server will always choose the first default gateway to transmit packets if the default gateway is available.
    If you need to configure 2 default gateway, on one of the NIC’s TCP/IP properties, add the default gateway. Then add a statics route entry for the network which the other default gateway connected to.
    Suppose that:
    1. The default gateway is 192.168.2.1, and it is connected to another network 192.168.3.0/24.
    2. The IP address of the NIC (without default gateway) is 192.168.2.20.
    3. Interface number of the NIC is 2(type “route print” to check the number).
    4. Metric 30 (set the metric depends on your need).
    Then open CMD, type the command line as below and hit Enter:
    Route –p add 192.168.3.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1
    metric 30 if 2
    Then you may use “route print” to check the route table after complete this operation.

  • Dual internet connection automatic failover?

    Hello,
    we have two internet connections at home, and both are not very reliable, so i tought about configuring them for automatic failover.
    I'm using them on my W520 and both connections are coming from separate routers, which are always running.
    One is conected to w520 via ethernet cable, second via wifi.
    Both are on different subnets and normally both routers IPs are set as default gateway.
    The problem is, that the routers are always on, so the w520 has usually still connectivity to both routers (i.e. ping to both 192.168.100.252 and 192.168.1.1 is always working).
    If one internet connection drops, this is on router side and w520 and its windows doesn't notice this as the connection from w520 to router is still OK.
    So if the active connection fails (on router side) i have to manually disconnect it on w520, otherwise i get no internet (as the traffic is still routed via same network interface which reaches only the router [that without internet]).
    I read something to use different metric for interfaces, but this is already configured "automatically" and this seem not to have any effect in case that connection to routers still work.
    C:\>route print
    IPv4 Route Table
    ===========================================================================
    Active Routes:
    Network Destination        Netmask          Gateway       Interface  Metric
              0.0.0.0          0.0.0.0  192.168.100.252    192.168.100.9     20
              0.0.0.0          0.0.0.0      192.168.1.1      192.168.1.5     30
    I tried also to configure "Access Connections" for both connections simultaneously hoping it will choose the second in case of failure, but this doesn't work too:
    (it maybe works in case the one connection fails to connect on w520 (e.g. router down), but this is not my case)
    Is there any way how to configure this failover within OS (windows 7) only, without some dual wan router?
    Thanks

    As long as Windows have a working connection (interface link) either lan or wlan Windows don't know that one of the routers do not have a working internet connection. As far as i know there is no such functionality in Windows to make this work automatically. There might be some software available that can help you out, but not sure how this software should be aware of the missing internet access from one of the routers. That software will have to change the metric in the routing table (route print) on your Windows machine when one link is down.
    With regards to the metric and default gateway, you can use several interfaces all configured with a default gateway, but only the one with the lowest metric will be used. The default gateway is the last resort and normally this is the only one used on a client computer even if it's possible to add more specific static routes. Two interfaces with a default gateway and same metric won't work and don't think it's even possible to set in Windows. In that case how should Windows know what default gateway to use. So basically set more than one default gateway in Windows is pointless unless you want Windows to switch when the link goes down (link to the PC).
    I think the best option is to do this on the router and buy the required equipment for such functionality and maybe it's the only working options as well. You can also create two batchfiles, one that change the metric and default to use connection 1 and the other to use connection 2. That way you can switch manually just by a doubleclick on a icon. You use "route add...", "route delete..." and "route change..." to add, change and delete routes like the default gateway. It's still not automatic though.

  • Airport Extreme joining a network and sharing wired internet connections

    Hi everyone,
    My new ISP installed their modem/wifi router (Sagemcom) in my home two months ago. Since I share HDDs over the wifi network, I installed my airport extreme near the modem/wifi router and used it to "extend the network", and it worked fine until recently. It stopped working suddently with the yellow light flashing. When I tried to reconfigure it, I always got errors, needing to reset it even to be able to see it again in Airport utility. Honestly, I have absolutely no idea why it stopped working. I tried connecting the Airport Extreme with an ethernet wire to the modem with the same result. So, I decided to move the airport extreme in my living room and use it to share the internet connection with my PS3, slingbox and Apple TV, telling myself that a partly wired connection would improve the signal (since I also had an Airport Express in the living room extending the network before everything stopped working). Now, everything works; the green light is on, HDDs are available on the wifi network, I can only connect to the Sagemcom routeur but, meh, what do you want, BUT, my slingbox, Apple TV and PS3 can't connect to the airport extreme through a wired connection.
    Two questions:
    1- Is it possible to share a wired internet connection with my Slingbox, PS3 and Apple TV from an Airport Extreme that has joined the network? If yes, what do I need to do to make it work?
    2- Any idea why my first setup stopped working?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks a lot,
    Frank

    1- Is it possible to share a wired internet connection with my Slingbox, PS3 and Apple TV from an Airport Extreme that has joined the network? If yes, what do I need to do to make it work?
    Unfortunately, the Ethernet ports are not enabled when the AirPort Extreme is configured to "join" a wireless network.
    Ironically, the less expensive AirPort Express does have the ability to "join" a wireless network and deliver an Ethernet signal at the port(s).
    2- Any idea why my first setup stopped working?
    None that you probably have not already thought about. The most commons cause is a sudden power outage, or even quick power "blip" can sometimes result in the Extreme to losing some of its configuration settings. Otherwise, gremlins are hard to catch.

  • Trouble with internet connection when using extreme to join wireless network

    I have an airport extreme that I want to use as an ethernet hub.  I have successfully connected it to my wireless modem, and I have a solid green light; however, when I connected the ethernet to my tv/computer/anything there is no internet connection.  I tried powering down everything in order and rebooting as appropriate modem then router then computer, but still not internet connection.  Any suggestions.

    The AirPort Extreme does not provide any routing functions when it is configured to "join a wireless network", so the Ethernet ports are not active in this type of setup. The only thing that really functions is the USB port, which could be used for a remote printer or hard drive.
    If you have another Apple "n" wireless router acting as your main base station, you can configure the AirPort Extreme to "extend a wireless network". The Ethernet ports are enabled in this type of setup....and the Extreme will provide more wireless coverage in the area where it is located.

  • How can a session be setup between two MacBook Pro's at different locations on high speed Internet connections, be setup to have a live recording session in Logic?

    My partner and I live on opposite sides of the valley here in Phoenix. About 50 miles apart one way. We are Musicians and are working on a commercial for television, and would like to know if there is a way, between FaceTime and Logic, that we can configure our MacBook Pro's to record sessions together without having to be at the same house? When we FaceTime, he can hear my keyboard through his headphones, but we can't seem to get the signal routed into Logic and register to a track when its record enabled. Is there a way for us to save gas, and record at seperate locations, so he can engineer me and I can engineer him, while we build this project in Logic and Final Cut? Here is what we are using, we have nearly identicle setups, which was planned so we might be able to do something like this. Both of us are using Mid 2012 15" MacBook Pro's with 2.6GHz Intel i7 processors and 16GB RAM. The only difference between the two MacBooks is that his has an Optical Drive, but I removed mine and replaced it with a 2nd SSD Drive, so I have two Samsung 840 Pro's each with 512GB in my MacBook Pro. His just has one Samsung 840 Pro with 512GB. We both use Focusrite Saffire Liquid 56 Firewire Audio Interfaces, and we both use Logic Studio 9 Academic. I don't know if you need to know what we are using in order to help us figure out how to configure the MacBooks for a live session, so I figured I would give you those details just in case. If you need any more information, just let me know? Oh, we both have high speed cable Internet connections. Mine is 150Mbps speed which is the absolute fastest I can get in my area. And his is only a 50Mbps speed line.
    Again, what we are looking to do is have a LIVE recording session, in Logic, with him at his house and me at my house. When we FaceTime each other, we can pretty much hear each others keyboards as if they were part of the conversation, and as crystal clear as we can hear our own when recording, but we can't seem to record enable an Audio track in Logic and route that keyboard signal into Logic and record it so we can engineer each other without either one of us having to drive to the others house, to be there to do it. If any of this even makes sense, I'm not quite sure how to better explain it. So hopefully you get what I mean, otherwise just say so, and I will try to do a better job explaining it.  :-)
    Anyone who can help us with this little problem would be greatly appreciated, and quite a hero in these two humble Musicians Worlds!! So from both of us, THANK YOU in advance for any input you might be able to give us. I look forward to hearing any and all suggestions.
    Scott

    Hey Scott
    You and ALOT of people are attempting to do this, myself included.
    Unfortunately at this point (to my knowledge) it's a pretty CRAP setup involved that will likely leave you frustrated.
    HOWEVER:
    A few things CAN be done:
    IF you are getting live audio from your partner over the internet, you can re-direct that audio directly into Logic using a program called SoundFlower.
    There are a few alternatives to SoundFlower, like JackTrip, and.....(the name eludes me)
    (SoundFlower is from a company called Cyling 74 who also makes Max MSP. )
    Once in Logic, you set your audio inputs to the track to be Soundflower. (either 16 inputs, or in this case 2)
    That all being said, regardless to speed, you are still going to experience latency in the connection, and THAT is the part that will likely drive you to the mad house.
    THIS all being said, I believe there are websites out there that are set up to actually do this kind of thing, (at least there WERE) but likely membership costs, and other "hidden" problems that you only learn about after you have signed on the dotted line. (Hopefully I am wrong?)
    If you don't need to do a "live jam", there are always solutions like DropBox that work very well for exchanging large files quickly.
    If you want to record live MIDI input from his keyboard, I am unaware of any solutions for this.
    Due to the popularity of the iPad, you might want to look into the App store, and see if there is something available.
    Good luck!

  • When our iPad is in use on the internet, my iMac internet connection goes off. I can't get the two devices to work at the same time with the AirPort Express. Is there a setting somewhere I may have missed?

    When our iPad is in use on the internet, my iMac internet connection goes off. I can't get the two devices to work at the same time with the AirPort Express. Is there a setting somewhere I may have missed?

    When two or more devices conflict it typically means that the DHCP service is either misconfigured or is not running at all. DHCP provides IP addresses to local network clients.
    Is your AirPort Express base station the only router in your current network configuration? That is, is it connected directly to an Internet modem and not to another router upstream of it?

Maybe you are looking for
