Linking two networks via wireless connection

I am looking to ‘link’ two parts of my house together to the same network… how do I do this?
I have a WRT54G in my office(Point A) where the DSL comes in. In another part of my house (Point B) I want to add another desktop and a network device both have 100Meg wired connections at point B. How can I link A and B together via wireless while still having the devices in Point B connected to a wired hub.
I want my WRT54G at A to control DHCP, etc.
From looking at the Bridge WET54G it will connect to one device only. Looking at the Wireless Access Point it is not clear what the differences are as they both have only one port… Do I need an access point to attach to a hub? Therefore two products?
Any help would be great.
This is what I tried before based on what one of the guys in the store told me... but it did not work.
I tried buying a USB wireless adaptor (Netgear) to add to the PC and then have the PC plugges into a $15.00 switch I picked up at Fry's. then plugging in the Sonos into the switch. The Netgear adaptor was junk and dropped connection all the time and would not work with WEP. After messing with the DNS and gatway it kind of worked, but took forever to access anything as I guess it was trashing around to with all the network paths... I really dont know, but I do know it did not work.

hello ! so far you have been on the right track....i'll help you clear the confusion
the WRT will communicate wireless with the WET(bridge) the bridge will be hardwired to a switch....and the othe PC and netrwork device will also be hardwired to the switch.
The way this will work ....the DHCP will be controlled by the router...this in turn will assign DHCP ip's to all PC's/devices connected to the network.
The PC and network device connected to the switch will get the IP from the router itself...the bridge will do exactly that.....it will bridge a wired and wireless medium.
So go in for a WET .....and let me know if you face any issue or need any further clarification .

Open BO report via wireless connection Blackberry

Dear All,
does anyone knows about how to open BO report in BB via wireless connection. is it need installed BO Mobile XI? or what is the best way to open BO report with Blackberry.
Please Help.
Thnaks so much

You know that is weird.... when the AppleTV is wireless and the Mac Book is wireless then iTunes can see it! So I guess it must be how the router is treating the two (wired and wireless) as two separate networks some how.
I will go with this as for some strange reason accessing iTunes Store is faster via wireless on the AppleTV than it was when wired.
Still would like to know why it is doing that... something to research.
Oh and the router is a DLink DVA-G3810BN
Cheers,

Problem with connetction to wrt54g2 via wireless connection with WPA/WPA2 & wireless MAC filter

Hello,
I'm Alexey from Novosibirsk, Russia.
I have a problem with connection to wrt54g2 from my DELL D630 notebook via wireless connection. When I setup WPA/WPA2 in wireless security and wireless MAC filter I can't connect from notebook to WRT - in Windows I see that dynamic IP address from WRT is not assigned. When I switch off security mode to disable always OK, but I need a wireless security between DELL and WRT.
Connection via cable Ethernet port is OK.
Can You help me?

Have you tried the different laptop...?
Download 1.71 MB the firmware for WRT54G2 v1 and reflash the router's firmware.After reflashing/upgrading the router's firmware,reset the router for 30 seconds and reconfigure the router from scratch.

Connecting two networks with wireless bridges

Hello all,
We are trying to create a true CAN. We have 2 sets of 2 buildings each. One set is on the 172.23.x.x network and the other set is on the 172.25.x.x network. Each set has routing in place to go out over their respective MPLS circuits (which will be removed once this project is done). Each set also has their own vtp domain each containing ~30 vlans.
Right now, there is a wireless bridge at each set of buildings and they can reach each other fine according to the vendor. I am trying to figure out an efficient way to tie these two networks together keeping their current vlan and local topology in place.
Site 1:
Vlan 1: 172.23.1.x
Wireless bridge: 172.25.1.x
Site 2:
Vlan 1: 172.25.1.x
Wireless bridge: 172.25.1.x
Any help is appreciated. The idea is that all traffic from site two will now traverse the wireless bridge and use all resources and routing available at site 1.

OK wel now the only solution left for you re-designing the IP addressing or if you want same ip address either increase the scope or range of ip address per vlan or use DHCP server to provid Half the address to both sides. but the interface connecting interface must be a Layer 3 or Layer 2 ports.The only concern should be DHCP server vlan over lapping can be manage by Configuing VTP (Client/Server) .
(Switch) ====wireless------------------wireless====(switch)
Trunk (Layer2 port) Trunk (Layer2 port)
and for vlan just if one dhcp server nothign to worry and incase of multiple server just load balance it will also provide the reduncency in you network.
other option is simple using L3 approach and change the ip address only for resourches you want other people to access.

HT4262 Can I extend a wired remote base station network via wireless WDS Remote to a Wireless WDS main base station?

I have a wired nework in a remote closet (3 PC's to a 100/1000 Linksys switch). I have an Apple Extreme network connected to the Internet in another remote closet allowing wireless PC's and wired PC's access to the internet and printers. I do not have the ability to connect the two networks together via wired although they are 50' apart.
My objective is to configure two Airport Extreme devices so the remote wired PCs can connect via the remote/relay Airport Extremen to the main Airport base station for DHCP, internet and intranet.
One Aiport Extreme base station is Model # A1034 and the other is Model A1408.

Can I extend......?
Yes, this is possible. But sometimes, the fact that something can be done does not necessarily mean that it should be done. In a case like this....Upsides are far outweighed by Downsides.
Upsides
You will have more wireless coverage (but 50 feet is a long way if there are multiple walls or ceilings in the signal path...I am not optimistic about this)
The Ethernet ports will be enabled on the remote Extreme.
Downsides
The required WDS configuration will drop the performance of your newer "n" Extreme down to wireless "g" levels.
In addition, the bandwidth on the entire network will drop by 50%. In effect, you will have a "g" wireless network running at half speed
WDS is difficult for most users to configure. It is very easy to make a mistake and literally impossible to recover without starting all over again with the configuration attempt
It might work. But things are going to be extremely slow. Might be OK for general Internet browsing or light email. Any file transfers or copies from one device to another are going to take a very long time.
You also might want to review the WDS setup required to get an idea of what is involved here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4262
As you know, a far better way to do this would be to connect the two AirPort Extremes using an Ethernet connection. If you cannot run the Ethernet cable, you might want to consider a pair of Ethernet Powerline Adapters.
These devices send an Ethernet signal over the existing AC powerlines in your home. So, you already have the wiring in place....you just need the adapters. I've used these devices for runs up to 70-80 feet or so with good results. But, you need to understand that there are number of factors that can affect performance here.
So, if you want to try the powerline adapters, I would strongly recommend that you understand the store's return policy in advance. The bottom line is always this.....you won't know how they will work until you install them in your home.
Apple's instructions for a setup using Ethernet are here:

Unable to aquire IP address on secured network via wireless.

I have a WRT54GS which we secured the network on over a year ago. (WPA encyption setting). This christmas we got the kids one of those mini-laptops but when we went to put it on our wireless network it could not aquire the IP address. Using the ethernet cable to connect it directly to the router did allow it to get online with the LAN setting enabled.
In order to finally get the new laptop connected via wireless we had to unsecure our system. Now we need to figure out why the laptop was unable to aquire the IP address so we can fix the issue and resecure our network. Any ideas/suggestions on the subject would be appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Change the Wireless Chanel on the router to 11-2.462Ghz..Under Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 50,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings......and try connecting the network again..

Need help setting up Pixma MX 860 on local network via wireless

Ok, I'm at my wit's end here.
I've spent the last two days trying to setup my printer with a connection to my wireless hub, and it simply refuses to work.
I've tried under Win7 and Mac OS/X.
Most recently, using Win7, I have the drivers installed, I have tried running 'ltdl-win-mx860-2_5_7-en.exe', and it sees the printer, then when it lists the access points, I see my access point. I type in my password, and it says "Communicating with printer", then, after a few minutes, I get "The printer could not be connected to the specified access point."
Please help me before I throw this printer through the window!
AdvThanksance,
-Mark
PS Yes, I have checked, double checked, triple checked my access point password. That's not the problem.

So you have a printer and wish to connect it to your network using wireless, right?
I don't see what the Win 7 or OS-X boxes have to do with it?
The connection you need to establish is between the printer and the Wi-Fi access point. Once that is established, everything else should flow.
Start at the printer, it should lead you by the hand to connect to the wireless. Have you tried using the printer (not any computer) to connect to the wireless access point?
Unless I am overlooking something else?

Cant see network via wireless only LAN

hi can only see media box on network if Lan cable connected to pc via router, can only access media box to play music via explorer if wireless. can access via network via Lan cable only??so i can do backup's etc

There are a lot of things that we can consider as to why your wireless network is not able to communicate to the media hub. Take for example AP Isolation on your wireless router. Make sure AP Isolation is disabled on your router so the wireless computer can communicate to the computers on your network. Second is the wireless adapter installed on your wireless computer, make sure it is properly configured. Check if the Clients for Microsoft Network and Support for File and Printer Sharing are enabled on the Properties. Third would be the firewall, there are some firewalls that can be configured to affect only on certain interface whether it's LAN or Wireless.

Extended wired network loses wireless connectivity

I have a pre-existing wireless network with a Time Capsule (4th gen) and I want to extend it via a wired connection to an Airport Extreme (5th gen).
I powered up the AE, did a hard reset and after I confirmed it was reset, I plugged the ethernet cable into both the TC & the AE, while they were in the same room. Airport Utility "knew" what I wanted to do, suggested that I wanted to extend the network via a wire and after I agreed, the device was updated.
A short time after the AE was updated, I lost all wireless connectivity to both the TC and the AE, even though the front lights were still green. Once I unplugged the AE and restarted the TC, the network resumed connectivity. If I restarted the AE without a wired connection to the TC, the AE acted as a wireless extender for the network. If I replug it into the TC, the network comes down.
What did I do wrong?
TIA,
Larry Haber

If I restarted the AE without a wired connection to the TC, the AE acted as a wireless extender for the network. If I replug it into the TC, the network comes down.
Something went wrong during the setup and the AirPort Extreme was configured to extend using a wireless connection. So, the AirPort was expecting a wireless connection....and when the Ethernet cable was connected, this created a massive feedback loop, which effectively crashed the network.
I assume that you have tested the Ethernet cable to make sure that it is operating correctly.
Power off the AirPort Extreme and disconnect the Ethernet cable if it is still connected
Perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme. That means that you hold in the reset button on the AirPort first, and keep holding it for an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the AirPort. Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the AirPort To restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
Connect the Ethernet cable from a LAN <--> port on the Time Capsule to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme
Try the setup again. If you are using a 6.x version of AirPort Utility, the initial setup screen will indicate that the AirPort Extreme will be set up to extend the Time Capsule network. Watch the second screen carefully to confirm that the message will change to indicate that the AirPort is being set up to extend using Ethernet.
Strange as it might seem, the setup utility on an iPhone or iPad actually does a better job than AirPort Utility on a Mac, especially a Mac that is running Yosemite, so if you are still having problems, you might want to try the setup on an iPhone or iPad if you have one handy.

Can wicd simultaneously connect two networks via different interfaces

hi, recently, I installed wicd. I am tired for figuring out of NetworkManager stuff.
however, for same reasons, I could not configure my ethernet and wireless interface at the same time.
for example, in my case, I have enp0s25 and wlp3s0 interfaces. however, wicd only allow me to connect one at a time. especially when I connected enp0s25 via wicd-curses, it actually disabled the wlp3s0. (the interface is set down by wicd, but I still can see the available network, very strange)
is there a way to deal with that ?

Wicd is kinda strange, it usually picks the wired over the wireless (and there is an option for that). You can get it, by allowing wicd to connect wirelessly, and manually dhclient the eth0 interface. Netctl can help in this allowing both interfaces to go without manual intervention. The only difference is you won't be roaming like you can in wicd.

How do I use the airport express to connect a remote PC via ethernet cable and access the internet via wireless connection, How do I use the airport express to connect a remote PC via ethernet cable and access the internet via wireless connection

Trying to connect my xbox to the airport express. Have wireless in home and do not have a ethernet point behind tv/xbox. How do I configure the airport express to connect to my wireless network and then the airport express can use its connection via ethernet to connect the xbox to the internet.

Is your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) a 802.11n model? If it is, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge or ProxySTA. This would allow the AX to join another wireless network and have its Ethernet port enabled for wired clients, like the Xbox 360.
To activate ProxySTA, you must set up the Express to join a wireless network and then enable the Allow Ethernet Clients setting; both settings are located in the Wireless tab of AirPort Utility.

"Unable to connect to hidden network" - Losing wireless connection on 1 PC in network - EA4500

We have a two-month old EA4500 router. Over the last couple of days one of our wireless pc's (running Windows 7) has occasionally been losing connection to our wireless network. Troubleshooting indicates that it is "unable to connect to the hidden network (our network name)" Our network should not be hidden, and our 2 other wireless devices are not experiencing this issue. When the disconnect occurs, the only way we are able to reconnect the PC is to disable and reenable the wireless adapter through device manager, or pull the adapter out of the USB and re-insert it. (The USB wireless adapter is also new - only a month old and is also a Linksys ). Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this issue, and what we can try to fix it? It's getting very annoying. Thanks!

There are times that these USB adapters (especially those Wireless Network Adapters) requires more power and they can't draw enough power once plugged in to a USB hub or USB extension cables. Can you try to plug it in directly to a USB port at the back of your computer? So that the adapter would draw enough power from the motherboard.
If everyone needs to believe in something, I believe I'll have another beer..

Two WRT54G, two networks, same Internet Connection

If anyone can take the time to educate me in how to effectivly stack routers to share one internet connection but set up two different networks I would really appriciate it.
I want to set up an open wireless network for customers but have my POS and Cameras on a seperate network that people using the wireless cannot access. I have two routers, and have tried using different subnets but cannot get it to work.
Is there any step by step instructions on linksys's site? I cannot find them.
Any help is greatly appriciated.
Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I have one WRT54G v5 and one BEFSR41(sorry don't know the version).
Right now I have the BEFSR41 acting as the router and the WRT54G acting as a wireless access point. I have a hardwire connection going from port 1 on the BEFSR41 to port 1 on the WRT54G and have DHCP disabled in the WRT54G. Right now anyone connected wirelessly to the WRT54G has full access to my network.
What I want to do...
Modem------------BEFSR41-----------Point of sale registers/Camera DVR
                                          |
                                          |
                                          |
                                          WRT54G((((((((( to any customers PC
BEFSR41 DHCP 192.168.1.100-150 Subnet 255.255.255.0
WRT54G DHCP 192.168.x.100-150 Subnet 255.255.255.xxx
I want my Wired network to be on a different IP range and Subnet than my Wireless so that customers cannot get onto my wired network. (I think its called segmenting a network or something like that.)
Is this possible with linksys's stuff or do I need to step it up a notch and get something like a nomadix?
Thanks again for the reply.

Problem connecting laptop to printer via wireless connection

I installed my HP Photosmart D110 series and the printer is not detecting my wireless internet (which is a Verizon Wireless card) . I only know the basics when it comes to computers, internet, etc. Therefore, this might be a completely stupid question, but is it possible to connect only through my Verizon card or do I need to purchase a router as well?
When I print my Wireless Network Test Report from my printer it tells me that it's recommended to change my network name to make it unique? I have no idea how to do this. And is it even applicable here?
I would greatly appreciate some feedback here.Thank you!

OK,
1. On the printer: Setup > Network > Reset network Defaults
2. On your PC, go to Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center. Look for a wireless network that starts with 'hp" or "HP". Join it. There is no password. On the printer: Setup > Network > WIreless Network Test.
3. Now, in Start > Control Panel > Printers, Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's host name (found on the printer's network configuration report the generated above). Click Next.
If you get a message about Additional Port Information Required, then the printer was not found using the host name. You can go back and retry or using the printer's IP address instead of the host name.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Make a choice and click Next.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
