Router and access point
Likely either or. Of course if you "need" wireless you have to have an AP somewhere and many of them are capable of serving up DHCP and doing many functions of a small broadband thingy (I won't call these things "routers", "thingy" seems more appropriate) :)
which one i should use a router or access point to create a home network lab where i can play around with the DNS and DHCP configuration without changing the ISP router setting??

the zycel N series access point and cisco router reboots when i try to stream or mirror onto apple tv using air play. What can be the cause of the problem?
Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Log out and log back in. Any change?
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference? -
Router and access point connection
Tried to get smart today, took and set up my network with a wrt54gs the other day and still have some headaches after finally getting things to work. but my idea was to take my old wrt54g router and place it at the other end of my house for the wii system. I took the old router and changed the setting from gateway to router and gave it a new internal ip address. Everything worked fine, all the wired and wirless computers including the wii worked great, but when I went to my computer, where I installed the easylink program, it showed I changed networks. Do the setup crap again and it can not find the router but showed the old one as the new netork and could not connect, could not get internet or anything at this computer. But every other computer throughout the house was working great and connected to the net with no problem, the only one not connecting is the only one with easylink keeping it from connecting.
So I disconnect the added router/access point and had to run setup again with easy link, once it was up again I reconnect the old router and everything was great, showed the old as an access point and all the devices on the network. So things are great until I close my lid and my computer goes into standby, when I open it up I have the same problem again, but this time I know what to do, and I find as long as I keep this computer on all is great, shut it down all others equipment still works fine all except for the one computer with easylink on it.
Any ideas on to resolve this, I know people in the forums have said for a long time you can't use the two routers the way I have them set up, but it works great, the only problem is easylink keeps screwing me up on the one computer, if I moved the program to another computer it will do the same to that one and leave this one connecting just fine. So far my experience with easylink has been horrible, the only reason it was installed was because the box said it must be installed prior to anything else. before I just plugged things in and put in the settings I needed and life went on.Hey,
I think you can try to update the firmware of the router, to check if that stops connection dropping. To update the firmware of router try this:
Go to www.linksys.com/download and select correct model number and version number. Download the firmware and save it on your computer.
Check the file it should be firmware image file like .bin etc. If it is a compressed zip file extract it to get firmware image file.
Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name.
Go to administration tab there
Go to firmware update sub-tab there
Browse for the firmware image file and click update
When update completes turn off modem & router.
After 2 minutes turn on modem and after 2 more minutes turn on router & it will definately work!!! -
Router and access point connected to FIOS router
Here's my situation. Just installed Verizon Fios which supplies their own Actiontec Wireless router. I have an existing network which comprises a WRTG54Gv6 which was connected to a DSL modem for internet access originally and a WAP54G accesss point as a Repeater to extend the network wirelessly. I have quite a few wired and wireless connection to this netwrok and wish to retain these devices. My question is, based on where I had to connect the new FIOS router(which is where the access point is) can I connect the WAP54 to the FIOS router(through a switch) and allow the combined WAP54/WRT54G network to still provide my network services and deactivate the wireless service from the FIOS router. How do I configure the FIOS router, the WRTG54 and the WAP54(if change neded).
Thanks in advanced if anyone can help.Easiest way to configure the Verizon FIOS with Linksys is - Leave the Verizon FIOS unplugged from the Linksys Router and disconnect it's power cable.
1. Connect a computer to the Linksys Router it's Internet Port...
2. Access the web interface of the Linksys Router, change it's default address to 10.10.10.1 and leave it's DHCP Server Settings 'Enabled'. Once done you should Power cycle the Linksys Router.Don't change the Router Mode.
3.Connect Verizon FIOS from it's Ethernet Port to the Linksys Router on the Internet Port.
4. See if you can access the Internet...
You can also have a look at this link to connect two routers.However, both the router's used in the link are linksys routers but you can still follow the link. -

Aironet 1600 - A response was not received from the router or access point
Hi,
I'm trying to set up a wireless network with multiple SSID's. The new network only has CISCO products (router, switches). For the moment I'm trying to connect to 1 SSID (Windekind.Gast). the SSID is visible but when connecting devices have te folowing error message in the log:
Connection status summary
Connection started at: 2015-02-17 09:55:49-951
Profile match: Success
Pre-Association: Success
Association: Fail
Security and Authentication: Not started
Root cause:
Wireless association to "Windekind.Gast" failed
A response was not received from the router or access point.
Detailed root cause:
Wireless association to this network failed. Windows did not receive any response from the wireless router or accesspoint.
The signal is perfect (I'm only a few feet away from the AP).
To make sure there is no dhcp problem I tested the swich port in access mode for vlan 30 which supplied an IP correctly. I'm really not seeing the problem and searched the web for days now! Any help would be very much appreciated!
Below the config of the access point (done via de web interface).

endHi Rasika
thanks for the reply! 10.0.0.81 belongs to vlan 1. I changed the config as suggested but no luck.. (same problems are logged in the event viewer). the ap is connected to a switchport in trunk mode and vlan 1 is the native lan (untagged). the port also is joined to vlan 30 (and others).
Below the new config. Hope you can see an error..

Upgrading controllers and access points through NCS
I am currently trying to upgrade all of my controllers and access points to the newest version. I have downloaded the file and loaded it on the ftp server running on the Cisco NCS server. I tried to go to configure>controllers and Download Software(ftp) and go. I setup the schedule and it says failure. The details say %Error:Code file transfer failed - Connection Timeout. Sorry if this is a basic thing that I am missing. I have tried using an internal ftp server as well and it errors out also. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It is setup with NCS Prime running 4 WiSM blades and 3 WiSM 2 blades in 6509 chassis. I am going in through NCS and doing configure controllers and download software(ftp) from the select a command dropdown. When I setup it up this way I have to select schedule unless I want it to automatically download and reboot the controllers, which I was trying to avoid so that I could do it during the day. It just keeps timing out on the download portion.

How to add a second router as access point and wifi signal extender
Previously I had 2 linksys routers and was able to configure them as one in separate areas of my house. I think it is called cascading. The 2nd router acted as an ethernet switch with 4 extra ports and it provided a wifi signal to areas of my house that previously had a weak signal when I used only one router.
I have since switched to an Airport Extreme as my main router. I can't seem to get the same configuration with the linksys router, it is Model E1000 and has an "N" signal. The Linksys E1000 I think is the newer model of the old WRT54G Linksys. I can't get it configured to work. I have searched high and low on the internet and can't find anything simple enough for a novice to understand. I did read something that I may have to assign a "DHCP Reservation" on the Apple Extreme. I couldn't figure that out.
Can somebody please offer some guidance on how to get this to work?
ThanksYou have two routers producing two networks with the same name, so they will show up as two networks on any type of scan by a wireless utility. This is normal.
If you had used two Linksys devices, they would probably show up as one network, not two. Linksys has a feature that allows this to occur, but this is not true of Apple devices.
As long as the wireless network name, wireless security and password match up between the two routers, the two networks will behave as if they were one. As computers change location, they will automatically connect to the wireless access point with the strongest signal. -
Do I need a router or access point / bridge?
Hi. We have a MS small bus server with a software firewall. It does dhcp and routes traffic so we don't need the router part of the router.
Wireless N access is needed. Will a DAP 1522 (Wireless N access point / switch) offer the same wireless performance as a Linksys wireless N router?
I just bought the DAP access point and am getting 100-130 mb/s with a strong signal. Would the router work better with its giant antennae?
NickDAP 1522 is a good acess point. It lets you connect up to 4 Ethernet-enabled devices such as set top boxes, game consoles, or computers to an existing Wi-Fi network for on-demand broadcast, online gaming, or media streaming throughout the home.
With dual-band wireless capabilities, the DAP-1522 is ideal for wireless HD video streaming and gaming applications because entertainment content can be sent over the less crowded 5GHz band.
The DAP-1522 can also be used to create a new 802.11n wireless network using its Access Point feature. Simply connect it to an existing wired or wireless router, and you'll enjoy greater range and data speeds in seconds. -
Airport Express and Range Extenders and Access points.
My setup is as follows
Main wireless router is a Dlink DIR-635, with SSID 'id1'
A Edimax range extender, with SSID 'id2'
A small network with a PC and a mediaplayer connected to a Jensen router acting as a switch. This network is connected to the wireless network with SSID 'id1'
through a TP-Link access point.
I want to stream music from my PCs and Ipad to the Express using Airplay.
The 'id2' network has the best signal in the room where I want the Express.
Connected the Express to this network, but it didn't show up as an available speaker neither on the Ipad nor on my PCs.
Connected the Express to the other network 'id1'. Now it shows up on my Ipad and a portabel PC. Both connected to network with SSID 'id2'.
But the PC connected to the wireless network through the TP-link, is still unable to find the Express.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
What protocoll does Airplay use? Does the Express send any broadcast messages to inform other devices that is is in the network?
Seems to me that the Airplay protocoll is filtered by the extender and the access point.
Any hints will be appreciated.If you are asking about "extending" or "repeating" the wireless signal, you will need both an Apple main router and an Apple extending device.
The AirPort Express (and other Apple routers) can only "extend" a wireless signal from another Apple router. -
Using old Sky router as Access Point
Hello, I am new to the forum so I hope have posted correctly. Having recently moved house I have switched to BT from Sky and have been supplied with the HH5 and the Infinity package. Due to house lay out wifi signal is not great throughout. I am wanting to use my old Sky (Sagem 2504n, I think) router as an access point. Is this possible or would need to flash the old sky router in order to do this. My first attempt did not work (when I try to set ip in sky router to within HH range I get an error message). Basically it would be good to know if I need to flash the firmware or if it is possible to do with the sky router as is before I aware too much more time.. Any help much appreciated!
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.You should be able to use it as a wired access point provided you change the IP address, and disable DHCP.
This guide, for a Voyager router, should give you some idea of the settings to use.

Wirelessly adding a new device: Router versus Access Point versus Bridge
My home network consists of a Linksys WRT54GS Wireless router with a couple hardwired PC and a wireless laptop. I want to wirelessly connect my TiVo into this network to download saved video onto the hardwired PCs, and to give my TiVo access to the internet (it currently uses a phone line). It looks to me like the choices to include the TiVo into my home network are to connect it (wired) to:
(1) a Wireless Access Point (WAP54G),
(2) a Wireless Bridge (WET54G), or
(3) another Linksys Router (WRT54G) configured as WAP (router mode rather than gateway).
Are all three options above valid options? If so I would like to understand what the differences between these choices are, and under what circumstances would one be better than the other.
As part of this, is there a reason the Linksys Routers are much cheaper than the WAP or Bridge hardware. This is counter-intuitive since the Router appears to be the more complex hardware with multiple connectors, more memory, etc.
Thanks.Well i would suggest you to get an Access point WAP54G as it works wirelessly & you will be able to use many pc's using it without a router.With WET54G you need to connect using the hardwired cable & you need to connect it using the cables to the pc's & configure it.With router you need another router & you can configure it accordingly in a wireless mode to make it act as an access point.

Can a single Access Point support both bridge mode and Access Point mode at the same time
Hi Guys
Does anyone know which access point can work in both bridge mode and AP mode ?
CheersWell what are you trying to cover. If its really a large outdoor area, then look at the mesh AP. Those require a WLC. Autonomous or stand alone ap can perform bridging on one radio and client access on another. You can also look at AP that support indoor mesh that also controlled by a wlc. If your putting APs outdoors, then look at the outdoor mesh.
Thanks,

Help with N97 and Access points after V20 upgrade
Hi Guys,
I'm hoping someone can help me - I have an 505 uk unit and have changed to a generic euro product code to get the V20 software ( as theres a 2 week wait minimum for the network to release its custome version ) and its working brilliantly - except - in connections all my accesspoints have gone - I now show 13 uncategorised access points which I cant expand or open and it wont let me delete the lot as it says its protected Anyone able to sort this out and tell me what to do so I can get back to Internet and Contract WAP etc... destinations?
Much Appreciating any help.
AlexHi Alex,
I am not sure what kind of applications are preloaded in your location. I suppose the problem you faced is unable to delete certain definitions under the Destinations setting?
If a hard reset is not an option (not for me as I have purchased apps from the OVI store), I would create a dummy Destination to house all these unwanted definitions. That way, so long as the default connection does not utilize this dummy Destination, I think you are OK. Hope this helps.

WLC upgrade license and access point
Hi everyone,
I need suggestion regarding wlc 5508 upgrade license. Right now i have 150 license for access points. There will be upgrade around 300 access points. So we are planning to buy new license until the maximum capacity of 5508 (500 licenses).
Our management ip address is 192.168.50.x/24 . so all the access point are pointed to this management ip address (in the same subnet)
First question,
Because there will be an upgrade to around 450 access point. The current management ip address will not be enough.
Please, give me the best suggestion ?
Should i create another management ip address ? or I need to make a bigger subnet using the current management ip address ?
if i create a bigger ip address, the current access points must be set again yups ?
Second question
There will be a new link connected to the wlc, and i want to create new user subnets.
what is the best practices for this matter ?
if there are better suggestion, please let me know, i am still learning about wireless
I have attached the topology.
Thank you
FanieFor an example, a 5508 can support up to 500 AP's, and the AP's can be in one large subnet or be in many different subnets and or even different locations. As long as the ap knows how to discover the WLC or the ap already had joined the WLC, then the AP's don't have to be on the same subnet as the WLC. The easiest way to have AP's join is to stage them on the same subnet as the WLC management and then move them to a different subnet. I would probably have no more than 100 AP's per subnet, but that's me. Stage some AP's on the management subnet that the WLC is on and then when the AP's join and complete downloading code, change the switch port Vlan and shut and no shut the port. The ap will come back up and join the WLC.
