Link speed on 2602 in Bridge mode

Hi
I need to create a number of bridges on a installation, where i need to use some exsisting 5GHZ antennas
I can only connect one 5Ghz antenna on each Access-point.
What is the Max link speed then using a single Antenna - in the best signal senario?
/Lars

with one antenna, you'll only get one Spatial Stream, so you will only get ~74Mbps a bit more if you do channel bonding.
HTH,
Steve

EA6900 Bridge Mode

Trying to put the EA6900 into bridge mode and loose wireless broadcast. Plus, once in bridge mode can no longer access the router. The EA6900 workds fine if you don't use bridge mode and just deselect assign DHCP server and plug into the LAN port. Anyone else having issues with the bridge mode?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It sounds like the same bug that affects the EA4500 and EA3500. Read the thread/link below to manually configure bridge mode.

EA6200 in Bridge Mode Slow Wireless Speeds

Hello All,
I just purchased a Linsys EA6200 AC router (refurb) to extend my existing wireless network. I have setup the 6200 as an access point using the Bridge Mode outlined in the Users Guide (automatic configuration). While I am able to connect to the Internet from the router wirelessly, my Internet speeds while connected are roughly a third of my max MBPS, I have a 55 MBPS connection and consistently get speeds around 14-20 MBPS with this router from a 10-12 foot wireless distance. I get full speed while wired in, however, as soon as I go back to WiFI I get a significant performance drop.
Is there something that can be done to correct this? I am running the latest firmware and have set the 2.4G channel to 20mhz and the 5G channel to 40mhz while specifying a channel number with no increase in performance or speed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What Mfr and model is the main host router?
Try single mode G or N or mixed G and N on 2.4Ghz and single mode N or Mixed on 5Ghz on the main host router?
Channel Width set for Auto 20/40Mhz. 20Mhz can slow the wireless speeds down.
Try setting a manual Channel to a open or unused channel. 1, 6 or 11. 11 for single mode N if the channel is clear. 13 for EU regions. Try channel 48 or 149 on 5Ghz.

Using Extreme in Bridge mode, can't see the DHCP clients if the D-Link router

I have an Airport Extreme attached to my DLink modem/router. I have configured the Airport Extreme in Bridge mode, and I was expecting all clients to show up in my D-Link router. Although the configuration works most of the time, I have been experience a few issues:
1. From time to time, computers attached (both Windows and/or Mac) complain about an IP address conflict. I can ignore the error and it works fine.
2. From time to time, I loose Internet connectivity, and I need to disconnect my computer and reconnect again to solve the issue. This is not necessarily linked to symptom #1
3. On my D-Link router/modem (which I only use to connect my Airport to my ISP), if I check the DHCP clients, I can see the Airport router connected and *some* of the wireless clients that connect through the Airport. The list changes quite randomly, and at times, I see the airport appearing twice with different IP addresses.
Any help configuring it "right" will be appreciated!
Alain

When the AirPort Extreme is in bridge mode, the AirPort Extreme is simply passing through the DHCP settings and services that are handled by the D-Link modem/router.
In other words, the D-Link device is in total charge of the DHCP services for devices on the network.
You might want to check with D-Link support to see if they have any recommended practices for configuing the modem/router when another router....the AirPort Extreme in this case....is being used in bridge mode on the network

Shared office internet/bridge mode speed issues

I recently moved into an office that shares Comcast internet among various offices. When I setup my airport extreme it automatically set to bridge mode -- something about assigning a unique IP address.
I get fast upload but slow download (15 mbps upload, 1 mbps download). When I plugin directly via ethernet cable there is no issue. So it's an airport extreme/wifi issue. Any fixes?

Sorry, I actually can't plug my computer in because there is no ethernet (macbook pro 2013).
Is the main router also providing a wireless signal?
I don't know.
How many other wireless networks can you see if you do a scan?
How do I check/why does this matter?
How far is the computer from the AirPort Extreme? Line of sight between the computer and Extreme?
10 feet clear sight. Again, upload is fast 15, download is slow.
Are there any cordless phones there?
no
WiFi security or cameras?
no
BlueTooth devices?
no
Any metal cabinets near the AirPort Extreme?
no
Are you using a Mac or PC? What operating system?
MAC OSX

E4200 as a Access Point/Bridge Mode

I have spent most of the weekend trying to get this router to act as a proper Access Point.
Has any got this to work correctly?
When it does work (Stay connected) speeds and latency are rotten. If I go back to Routing Mode this thing kicks butt, but I isolate all devices attached to a different subnet and trying to set up proper routes has proved imposable.
Firmware 1.0.2 r 13
The online help stated to connect to the "internet interface" when in Bridge Mode DHCP Server Is not broadcasting to on the wireless or wired interfaces.
If I used the wired interface as the uplink I can broadcast the DHCP to any device on wired but again nothing to the Wireless.
When I "Show Routing Table" I see two static routes pointing to the ATT router for the Wired/Wireless Interfaces.....
0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 (my Gateway) Wired/Wireless
(my Gateway) 255.255.255.0 0.0.0. Wired/Wireless
Why??
AP mode should only be working in Broadcast.
By connecting the Wired Interfaces alone up to my switched network should not use the router at all.
If you force all traffic to my router all traffic has to be inspected by the firewall
You create a bottleneck my router interface is 10/100.
ATT 2 Wire Gateway/Router with pinholes. 10/100/1000 Non managed 24 port Switch Network. Server infrastructure serving DNS/DHCP.
I decided to buy this after reading it offered Bridge/Access Point mode instead of getting the WAP610 because I wanted to have the option to change to routing mode or AP mode.
Since my ATT Uverse Router Wireless is “g” it takes forever to transfer files to and from my servers.

OK If this helps... I am running a SOHO

At times the connection gets lost.
In this configuration I get the above stated Route Tables.
If this is layer 2 compliant it should be handing all local subnet traffic via MAC instead of routing.
I have not taken the time to attempt to reconfigure my 2Wire to go into DMZ Plus mode and allow the linksys to handle all routing, but from previous attempt with my wrt54 it did not go well. I accepted the slow 2Wire WiFi speeds.
It is now getting to the point I am looking for better WiFi to local LAN speeds , I also am looking to do Layer 2 and bypass Routing if I can.
The WAP160 has a 10/100 interface. I prefer gig

EA3500 bridge mode issues

Hey folks Trying to help someone out with their home network. They have a provider's DSL router as the first point of entry into the home. This works fine. It's broadcasting a wireless network. Connecting to this and running SpeedTest app on an iPhone gives expected speed results. But that's in the basement, so they have a network cable running upstairs that connects to a EA3500 router. The router is in bridge mode with static IP selected. They have been complaining of poor internet performance which should not be the case. When connecting to the wireless that the EA3500 is broadcasting (different SSID and channel than the DSL router), the speed test starts but does not complete - it fails with a generic error. Network cable comes out of the DSL router and into the Internet port on the EA3500. I've attached some screenshots of the EA3500 and the DSL router. I'm pretty sure everything is as it should be, but can't figure out why the connection through the EA3500 is spotty and not solid like the DSL router. Any ideas? Many thanks.

Can the DSL modem/router be bridged? If the ISP modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems: Link>http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/fixing_double_nat.htm and http://computer.howstuffworks.com/nat.htm If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ. Disable any ISP modem WiFi and filters like firewalls and such. Then run a external router.Prefered connection method with a ISP stand alone modem:
ISP modem>Linksys router<>connected devices.
Connection method with a ISP modem with built in router that can be bridged:
ISP modem(bridged)>Linksys router<>connected devices.
Connection method with a ISP modem with built in router that can't be bridged:
ISP modem(DMZ)>Linksys routers WAN ip address placed in ISP modems DMZ<>connected devices to Linksys router.

HT2497 I just purchased the 2TB TC and set it up on bridge mode to my att verse which is connected via ethernet cable. The TC is continually blinking amber and an error message states that a wireless network cannot be found but the uverse is functioning

I just purchased the 2TB TC and set it up on bridge mode to my att verse which is connected via ethernet cable. The TC is continually blinking amber and an error message states that a wireless network cannot be found but the uverse is functioning great. The network name I assigned to the TC is also not appearing among available networks. How do I remedy this, please?

What OS on the computer you are using to setup the TC?
Did you turn on ipv6 for wireless to link-local... this is essential for network access now??
Try power cycling the network.. start up in correct order.. uverse.. 2min wait.. TC.. 2min wait.. computer.
No luck factory reset and start over. Use ethernet cable as well to the computer to help it.
No luck I can show you manual method.

GT784WNV not working in Bridge Mode! Fed up with lack of Customer Service

I don't even know where to start but I am this close to just cancelling Verizon and switching to cable internet. If you want to skip the rant, jump down a paragraph.
I recently moved from a house a few miles away in which I had a solid DSL connection with a Westell 7500 in routed bridge mode that worked just fine with my Asus RT-N56U that I use for browsing, streaming, and online gaming. When I moved, the technician insisted I take the newer Actiontec GT784WNV. Needless to say, Verizon support was unsuccessful in getting it set up in bridge mode. After about 4 hours of unsuccessful troubleshooting, I suggested swapping it back out with my 7500 which worked fine just 4 days prior in my old house. Surprise! It miraculously started working just as it had previously. As I began to use it more, I noticed the connection was unstable. I would get dropped from Xbox Live and lose connection temporarily on my iPad. I ran the Verizon speed test and it would drop to about 0 and spike back up 3 or 4 times during the download test (don't think this is normal but could be). Every day I would talk to Verizon who escalated it to a supervisor about 4 times. They would then close the ticket without calling me. When i would follow up, I was told the supervisor talked to me and I verified the connection was good. Lying makes me livid and there is no accountability whatsoever at Verizon and it happened more than once. It appears to be a way for them to pass the problem on to someone else. I can go on and on about being put on hold for 40 minutes before disconnected, the 20+ hours I have spent re-telling my account info and story to every Tier 1 technician on their payroll for the past week, or the lack of competent customer service supervisors. This weekend, I finally got a call from someone local who said my line had some faults on it and that the problem was somewhere between my jack and the central office and they would send someone out today. Well....today the tech showed up and said "your problem is this old modem" and plugged in the Actiontec that I started with a week ago. I asked if he tested my line or the jack as the lady on the phone told me, and he said no. The problem is the modem. I said, I don't want a modem/router, I just want a regular modem and he said he had one, but it would cost me. How on earth is a plain modem going to cost me when they just installed an 802.11n router/modem combo for free? Absolutely terrible. I told him I want it in bridge mode because I don't want to use the wireless or the routing capabilities of the Actiontec. He said I have to do that and people normally just call Best Buy to have the Geek Squad come out. This really **bleep** me off as I used to run a network shop and configure Cisco routers and switches for a living. Once again, I have spent the past 6 hours tonight on the phone with Verizon only to end up back where I started.
At this point, I need to make this Actiontec GT784WNV a dummy (bridge) and let my Asus Rt-N56U do the work on my network. My Asus has all the port forwarding in place that I need for Xbox Live, etc. I have tried releasing the IP, changing the modem to RFC 1483 Transparent Bridging, disabling DHCP, changing the LAN IP to 192.168.99.1, etc. and it just will NOT get an internet connection. My router is configured correctly, unless there is something different between the Westell and the Actiontec that would require a setting change. Verizon is stumped, Asus hasn't called me back yet, and I am ready to just switch to Cable unless someone can help with a solution. I've been at this for a week. I have spent WAYY too much time fighting with a company that has no desire to deliver or to follow through and with absolutely zero accountability or business sense. Westell 7500 + Asus RT-N56U in old house worked fine. Move houses, change modem, doesn't work, switch back to old modem, works but unstable, tech claims old modem is my problem, plugs in new modem, doesn't work. I just want to use my router. How hard can that be? Can anyone please help?

Unfortunately that didn't work. I ended up putting my router in the DMZ as a workaround but it still had it's share of issues. After another week of trying to get Verizon to fix my connection (constant dropped connections forcing reboots of modem and router multiple times daily) I had Cable Internet installed today. Went from an unstable 6Mb/s to a stable 30Mb/s with Cable. I should have done this weeks ago. I wasted over 50 hours of my time with Verizon bouncing my issue around to others hoping someone else would be willing to fix it. Still no accountability with everyone tinkering with my setup taking a stab in the dark. The last person I spoke with set up a technician to come to my house later this week...AGAIN because he said there is something wrong on the line. I've known that for weeks but the tech that refused to fix my issue when he was in my house last week instead tried blaming it on something completely irrelevant because he had no clue what to do. One would think someone from Verizon would have reached out to me from this thread but they did not. In fact, the last tech's supervisor called me when i wasn't home, said "hello, this is XXX from Verizon......hello?" and hung up. Never a follow up as I was left once again to solve the problem myself. Well...I did. The incompetence of Verizon, it's poor training, and awful follow up procedures has cost them a customer. I am truly disappointed.

Bridge mode not supported for lap1261N

Hello,
I have a WLC2504 and 2 LAP1261N (converted from autonomous to lightweight) with release 7.0.116.0 and I want to create a point-to-point mesh link between the 2 APs. When trying to change the APs mode from local to bridge I receive the message "This AP does not support bridge mode" even if the release notes say that mesh is supported on AP1261N. I tried to change the mode from gui and also from CLI. Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Paolo

in aIOS you can tell it to bridge on the 2.4GHz Radio, it's not ideal but it can be done.
for WLC based:
The Cisco 1130 and 1240 ( all indoor AP ) are equipped with the following two simultaneously operating radios:
•2.4-GHz radio used for client access
•5-GHz radio used for data backhaul
The 5-GHz radio supports the 5.15 GHz, 5.25 GHz, 5.47, and 5.8 GHz bands.

Airport in Bridge mode "not a supported format." Are you F'n kidding me?

Forgive me if I'm freakin' a bit but I am at my wits end with Apple. Here's the breakdown.
Fiber DSL into a standard wired 4 port D-Link router. Router is connected to HP 24 port switch because the D-Link does not have enough ports for my house. Switch feeds cat5 to all rooms in the house. Airport Extreme (newest version) is in living room and set to Bridge mode. I use it to connect multiple items in my entertainment area and wireless access for the Macbooks and iPhones.
Up to a few weeks ago I was connecting my iMac via wireless but got sick of the connection dropping (pings would be unresponsive for minutes on end). I ended up moving my desk and plugging into a cat5 port on the wall. Well guess what... it's still dropping. OK, I removed everything from the network and started adding things one at a time over the past few days. Everything was running better than ever until I plugged the Airport back into the network. Mind you, I'm not running my iMac into the Airport, it is simply on the same network.
After shaking my head for a while I called Apple. Well I just got off the phone w/ Tier 3 tech support for the Airport Extremes. I tell them that I have no idea why, but I'm only dropping connections when the Airport is on the network and I'm just curious if there is something in the settings that I'm missing. This is where it gets good... The brilliant Tier 3 "Technician" tells me that I am running an unsupported configuration because the Airport is running in bridge mode and it's attached to a wired router across the house. He says that if the D-Link router was also wireless he could help me. I asked what the difference was if it was wired or wireless but all he could say was he couldn't help me because it was a unsupported configuration.
So - I'm ready to send all my CrApple gear to some poor kids on the other side of the world. Anyone have any ideas here?

I'm reading the original post with the understanding that the AirPort Extreme is connected by ethernet to the network and the replies indicate that as well.
Are you saying that if the Extreme is in bridge mode connected by ethernet that the ports are not active?
Not at all. What I was trying to say was that the connection from the Extreme to the internet must go through the WAN port, not a LAN port. In a large network, this can happen unintentionally. For instance, suppose a client has Internet sharing enabled and is connected wirelessly to the Extreme and by Ethernet to another router. Then the internet connection from the other router would be shared with the entire subnet, including the Extreme through its LAN port. This could cause problems with the network.
However, with the network setup Jerastan describes, this does not seem to be the cause.

AIR-BR-1310G-E-K9 Bridge Mode - PTP

Anyone get a 300 Mbit link speed using 40 MHz (Channel-Bonding) on 802.11n?

I recently switched from a MacBook Pro 2.33 C2D 15 to a new MacBook Air 1.86 SSD... For some reason, one little persistent mystery that remains, is that I have been unable to get the Air to establish the link speed at 300 Mbit/s at 40 Mhz (Channel-Bonded). The best I can get is 270 Mbit/s, although my MacBook Pro consistently links at maximum. Signal quality is not an issue...
Anyone have an idea why? Can an Air owner out there confirm max link, or is this little gem incapable of 802.11n wide 300 Mbit/s?
Thanks to anyone who can shed light on this little puzzle...

Thanks for the reply.
First, you need your TC's 'Radio Mode' set to '802.11n only (5 Ghz)' - (I assume you do, since I don't think the 'Use wide channels' option should appear in any other mode...).
Now, the quick method to check Link Speed is in the 'Network Utility' Info tab...
Note that I don't have a major issue with my transfer rates, but do think it's an anomaly for a MacBook Pro to consistently link at 300 Mbit/s and my Air to refuse the same (max 270). In general, I would say that my Air exhibits (a bit) less sensitivity than the Pro with consistent wireless performance (i.e., I never had issues with the Pro acquiring and maintaining wireless links - the Air less so...).
Thanks for your help.

Airport Express Bridge Mode Cutting Out?

I recently wasn't able to bring internet to my bedroom, so I bought an Airport Express. I didn't want to have to buy a modem, so I threw it in another room where I could get internet with my Airport Extreme. Then, I put bridge mode on my Express so that it would spread the signal. When I plugged it in, I got internet in my room at the normal speeds I get (I have very slow internet normally, about 300 kb/s. I thought, great. Then, about half an hour later, my speeds dropped out to about 50 kb/s. I'm using a MacBook Air 2010, and it happens on all the other computers in my house. It's really weird. If it's any help, I'm on AT&T U-Verse (ick).

I bought an Airport Express and plugged it in just to the power, no ethernet, and set it up to join a network
The "join" setting on the Express will not provide more wireless coverage.
Check the setting on the Express again using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab just under the row of icons
The setting for Wireless Mode needs to be "Extend a wireless network".
"Join a wireless network" will not do what you want.

N bridge between two 1252an in bridge mode at 5GHz

I've read in some of the cisco documentation on the 1250 series that root bridge or non root bridge modes are "not tested". They don't say "not supported". I have a client that could use a high bandwidth link between two buildings that are 100' or so apart. The fiber link has already been busted twice. Heavy heavy trucks kill the ground concrete. I have configed a 54Mbps solution with two 1242G's and some cisco yagi's. But, if an N bridge is possible with two 1252AG's, and go faster than the 54Mbps..I'd go with that setup.
Cisco documentation says the bridge modes show up in the 1252 webgui and are selectable. They just end it with "not tested".
Any thoughts?

It became supported in recent versions of the 1250 IOS.
|With this feature, the Cisco Aironet 1140 and 1250 Series can be configured for both access point and bridge functions. Bridging support on 802.11n access points offers added performance, reliability and throughput for basic wireless LAN coverage, wireless LAN coverage with wireless backhaul, and more traditional bridging applications.|
