RTP300 used only as a access point on LAN with WRTP54G

I have the RTP300 which I want to use as an access point for my wireless laptop to my working WRTP54G LAN. The LAN has 2 servers with 4 USB printers that I need to use from the AP. The LAN is on 192.168.40.xxx but when I put the AP there everything shuts down. Any suggestions on the setup. If I seperate the AP to 192.168.30.1 it works to the internet but no LAN use.

  • Broadcast SSID only on defined Access Points?

    I'm using a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller 5508, 14x Access Points 1041 and 6x Access Points 1031 in combination with a NCS 1.0.
    Is it possible to broadcast SSID'S only on defined Access Points, e.g. AP 1-3,7-10,18? If yes, what have I to do?
    Kind regards
    Kai

    Quick question, can you validate the below scenario please
    We have seven SSIDs
    WLAN           Dynamc Interface that its mapped to
    WHSE10          VLAN10-10.0.10.0/24             
    WHSE20          VLAN20-10.0.20.0/24
    WHSE30          VLAN30-10.0.30.0/24
    WHSE40          VLAN40-10.0.40.0/24
    Office50           VLAN50-10.0.50.0/23
    Office60           VLAN60-10.0.60.0/23
    Guest70           VLAN70-172.16.8.0/23
    we have around 40 access points in the warehouse and 20 APs in the office, and we are broadcasting SSIDs everywhere, means office and guest SSID s exist on the WHSE APS and WHSE SSID s exist on office APs.
    Does having more SSIDs on the APs affects its power (Signal strength) in anyway?
    APgroup1- WHSE-GROUP- (will add VLAN10,VLAN20,VLAN30,VLAN40 interfaces)
    APgroup2- WHSE-OFFICE- (Will add all VLANS-10,20,30,40,50,60 and 70)
    APgroup3- OFFICE-GROUP-( Will add only office and Guest WLANs- VLAN50,60 and 70)
    We won't need to broadcast any WHSE SSIDs in the office area so we will add the Office APS to ----  APgroup3- OFFICE-GROUP
    The WHSE APS will need to advertise both office and WHSE SSID s but we don't need to broadcast Office SSIDs everywhere in the warehouse, so we assign some APs in WHSE to APgroup2- WHSE-OFFICE and some to APgroup1- WHSE-GROUP
    How does the client roaming work in the above scenario when they move from APs in APgroup1 to APs in APgroup2 (I don't think this will be any different than normal client roaming from one AP to another AP but I want to make sure)
    Thanks for the help

  • How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
    If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.

  • Using routers as wireless access point

    Hello,
    i am thinking of buying Linksys x2000 , WAG160N or any other you suggest to use as a wireless access point. Is it possible?
    My setup is : I get my internet from my neighbor by ethernet cable from his router. My house is two-storied and ethernet cable comes to top left corner of first floor and the devices(two notebook) are on the bottom right corner at the second floor , insulation greatly reduces the signal strength.
    Thank you.

    You can use any other routers, do not use X2000 or WAG models.  I think they get Internet from an RJ11 connection.  Use an Access Point.  WAP series.

  • SSID only from few Access points

    Hi all
    I am going to create a new WLAN id/SSID in wireless controller which is Cisco 4402 and once i create it the ssid is going to be pushed to all the access points but i want to broadcast the SSID only to few access points, is there anyway can we do that either in the controller itself or from WCS. please let me know
    thanks

    Hello,
    Yes, you can shape that traffic. Its call Cisco AP Groups. You can simply check the config guide for confi efforts. What code are you on, if you are on 4.2 you can do WLAN Overide.
    Hope this helps ...

  • When using EA6400 as an access point only, certain features lost

    I've set up my EA6400 and have it connected to my Verizon MW424WR(Gigabit) and it works fine as an access point and the Twonky Server uses the USB drive I have attached to the router's USB port. Problems:
    1)I can not use the linksyssmartwifi link for management, I have to use the IP(set for 192.168.1.50) for this. When trying to register/login, the Linksys end is trying to find a Linksys router but can not and will not allow any action.
    2)Although Twonky will use the attached HD, I can not share the device over the home (Windows) network. I've tried various incantations of the IP \\192.168.1.50\(whatever share name I can think of) with no avail.
    3)Using the Linksys admin, the Device List is incomplete. Devices connected wirelessly  such as my iPod, Roku, Sony Media Player and WD HD TV Live do not show as wirelessly connected and do not have an IP listed.
    4)Is there any point in using the Media Prioritization settings since no routing is done by an access point. Or will it actually prioritize the wireless connection.
    BTW, the Verizon router can not be set in bridge mode so I have to use the router as an access point to accomplish what I wish.
    TIA,
    Randy

    Some applications and router features require the use of the WAN port. If the router is set up for LAN to LAN AP mode only, then those features won't work in this mode. Only Router mode. 
    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. Then connect the router in router mode using the WAN port to the ISP modem, then features and apps should work.

  • Using the WAP300N access point in combination with a WES610N Media Bridge

    Here is the situation: 
    I live on a small farm and have an office separate from my main house.  My current router is a EA4500 and it is located in the office which is approximately 45 feet from the main house.  Current wireless signal strength at the interior wall closest to the office is nominally -55 to -50 dBm but drops off dramatically on the other side of the house.  I currently have a WES610N media bridge on the far side of the house that is supporting a DVR and TV.  The WES610N is receiving signal from the router but it is weak.  Wireless network site survey indicates only 4-6% reception whcih I'm assuming is somewhere around -80 dBm based on measurments I made using a WiFi analyzer app on my tablet. 
    I had an RE1000 that bit the dust.  What I'd like to do is increase the wireless signal strength in the main house without running a wired connection from the office.  I'm considering purchasing a WAP300N Access Point which will also function as an range externder.  However, I am curious if there is any merit/efficeincy in also buying an additional WES610N Media Bridge an then connecting the WAP300N to the additional WES610N bridge and to allow the WAP300 N to serve as an acutual access point. 
    Any thoughts on whether that would gain anything or would I be better suited by simply using the WAP300N as an extender??

    Your planned bridge - wap combo is better than using a range extender. Using an extender would expand the signal but it would cut the bandwidth into half. So, using the bridge-wap combo, it would expand the range without loosing bandwidth quality. It should be the same setup with an extender from where you'll place the combo at the edge of the wireless signal from your main network. But same rules about wireless signal and connectivity, it is prone to wireless interference. 
    If your house is running on same circuit line, you can also consider using a powerline adapter. For information about powerline adapter, you can check this Article. It would eliminate deadspots better compared to the previous setup above. But this is just another option that you could take a look at. 
    Hope this helps.

  • Trying to use Airport Express as access point.

    I want to use an AE as an access point to extend my wifi.  The location has ethernet.  My primary router is a Lynksys E2000.  I set the AE up to extend wifi, bridge mode, PW's same as existing network, plug ethernet into LAN of the AE.  It reports all is well for about two minutes, then the unit flashes yellow and Airport Utility loses contact.  Have tried new ethernet cables, other locations, etc.  Resets and power cycles allow me to see the unit again, but the unit always ends up dropping off the network and flashing yellow after a very short time.  To be clear, I want to use a wireless device in the location that would talk to the AE that would pass it to the ethernet.  I have read the forum Q & A's and tried several of the solutions, but end up with the unit flashing yellow and the Utility asking me if I want to forget the AE. There must be something I'm missing in the setup or the unit is bad.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I set the AE up to extend wifi
    The "extend" setting on the AirPort Express would only be used if it was connected to another router using wireless.  You are using Ethernet.
    Configure the Express to "create a wireless network" using the exact same wireless network name, same wireless security settings and same wireless network password as your main router.
    As a final step, make sure that the AirPort Express is configured to operate in Bridge Mode.
    Power down both the main router and Express after the AirPort has been configured. Then power up the main router first for a minute or two, then power up the Express.

  • Will older Airport Express Base Station A-1084 work with new AirPort Extreme? I want to use it as an access point for my ps3 for watching movies and just connectin to Internet.

    I am lookin to plug in an older model a-1084 next to my playstation for a dedicated access point to avoid dropping so many connections since I am at the furthest point of my wifi coverage. Will it work or not? It would be connecting through a AirPort Extreme bought in 2011 -2012.

    This will work if you plan to connect the AirPort Express using a wired Ethernet connection back to the AirPort Extreme.
    But, it won't work if you plan to connect the Express using wireless only. That's because your older version of the Expess does not have a setting to "extend a wireless network", so it's not possible to "extend" the wireless signal using wireless only.
    If you added a "new" AirPort Express, that version does have the capability to "extend a wireless network" from the AirPort Extreme using wireless only.
    Keep in mind that to "extend" using wireless, the Express will need to be located where it can receive a strong signal from the AirPort Extreme, since the Express can only "extend" the quality of signal that it receives. In other words, the Express can make the signal go further, but it cannot make the signal go faster.

  • Can a WS-PWR-PANEL be used for POE to Access Points?

    We have an AP1010, AP1030, and an AIR-LAP-1232AG. Will they be able to use a WS-PWR-PANEL for POE?

    Hi Richard,
    The WS-PWR-PANEL only supports AP's with a single B-radio,so I think this will be problematic. Have a look;
    Cisco Platforms and Daughter Cards
    Access Point Compatibility Matrix
    WS-PWR-PANEL
    Cisco IPM Support - No
    1130AG Series with 2 Radios - No
    1200 Series with 2 Radios - No
    All Access Points with 1 Radio - Yes (Only with 802.11b radio.)

  • Using WRT54G as a access point.

    I have two WRT54G's and have the internet connected to one of them. I am trying to use the second as an access point, but I haven't been able to figure out how to connect them. I dont have the option of running a cable. Anyone know how to get it to work?

  • Can I use iMac as wireless access point?

    My network equipment: ADSL modem (which has no integrated wireless) with Buffalo AirStation (802.11b) wireless access point
    I have had a reasonably stable broadband situation for a long time (hence the ancient equipment!) and have been able to access the internet via my ADSL modem/ethernet router using ethernet wires from my iMac G5, and two desktop PCs running Linux and Windows. I have also been able to access via the wireless Buffalo Airstation on various laptops over the years. My wife's brand new MacBook has been connecting wirelessly for a couple of weeks.
    Until last night...
    Then the AirPort signal dropped to zero and a neighbour's network was suggested as the network I need. I looked at the Buffalo Airstation and there was a flashing red light (and flashing green ones as well). Being an experienced chap I turned it off and turned it back on! For about five minutes the Airport signal was back. Then it disappeared with flashing lights as before. Repeated a few times with no change...
    I don't know if the problem is related to the neighbour's wireless signal or not but I decided that it could be the AirStation getting flaky so I tried creating a network on the iMac with a view to sharing its wired connection.
    I can log on to this iMac network from the MacBook and I have changed the Systems Preferences to share the connection on the iMac but the MacBook says it is not connected to the internet. Anyone got any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Should I be entering the ADSL modem router in the internet connection details (which is what I have done) or should I be entering something else?
    Is what I am trying to do even possible? I haven't found any exact parallels in the documentation or the forums...
    Any help greatly appreciated!

    Does the Buffalo AirStation allow you to change the channel being used?
    You can share an Internet connection over Ethernet to other computers using Airport. You set it up in System Preferences Sharing pane Internet tab (if using Tiger). On the MacBook, you should just use the default +Configure Using DHCP+ setting. Be sure you clicked to Start the sharing on the iMac. On the MacBook, be sure you select the wireless network that is the iMac's name.

  • I want to use WRT160N as an access point...-but

    I can't see other machines on network. I have a cable modem/router with 4 ports. Total of 3 computers (2 desktops wired to cable modem ,1 wireless laptop) Wireless laptop connects thru WRT160N to internet fine. I setup WEP, hid SID, and it still connects to the internet fine. For some reason I cannot connect to workgroup. I tried disabling DHCP server in WRT160N, but then my laptop doesn't get an IP address. For now all I want to do is use the WRT160N as an access point and be able to see local workgroup computers. I'm sure it's a simple setting I'm missing - but to be honest my brain has turned to applesauce and I can't seem to find anyone talking about this type of configuration anywhere. Thanks in advance, _mez

    I am confused by your setup.  You said that you have  "2 desktops wired to cable modem".   So, is this how your system looks?
    modem  -------------  WRT160N  ))))          (((( wireless computer
        |   |
        |   |---  wired computer 1
        |------  wired computer 2
    If this is not correct, please explain more about your setup.
    If this is correct, how is the WRT160N  setup?  Is the modem wired to the Internet port or a LAN port on the WRT160N?  What address is the modem using?
    What is the make and exact model number of your modem?   I assume the modem has a DHCP server  --  is that correct?   Also, is there some reason that the wired computers cannot be connected to the WRT160N?

  • I have an airport express, which I want to use with my broadband providers router to create a second wireless access point but not with the same network name etc.

    In effect, I want to have my providers router working upstairs and the aiport express downstairs connected via wi fi. The airport would have a different network name, then allowing me to connect the children to the access point. This would allow me to turn their network off at times of day etc.
    any ideas ?

    I want to have my providers router working upstairs and the aiport express downstairs connected via wi fi
    Sorry, but the AirPort Express....or any other Apple router......cannot do this.
    In order to do what you want, you will need to establish an Ethernet connection from one of the LAN <-> ports on your "main" router to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Express.
    Configure the AirPort Express to "create a wireless network" using a wireless network name, and password that you select. As far as controlling connections, you can use the settings in Timed Access to establish rules about when the kids and cannot connect.

  • AirPort only sees the access point I am connected to

    Friends,
    I am aware of numerous discussions on these forums revolving around AirPort and wifi-issues. I have searched by cannot find this one with its own thread, and think the issue might be buried in there with others.
    One peculiar issue I see is that when I am not connected to any wifi network, AirPort will see them all and ask which one I want to connect to. However, when I select a specific network and bind to it, all of the other networks disappear in the drop-down box activated when you click the signal strength meter.
    On a day-to-day basis, this doesn't matter, but sometimes, if I want to configure a travel wifi router at home, I have to jump through a few hoops so that my MacBook Pro will see the other one.
    Perhaps this monogamous behavior is intended, but I would like to be able to "interact" with different access points whenever I'd like.
    This issue must have been already reported; I just can't find it. Apologies in advance if this is a redundant report. I am running 10.5.1

    No, do not hit reset .. it is not a WPS button.
    Apple products do not use WPS, so no WPS button is needed. And they have no need to implement one.. nothing exists outside the Apple bubble.. didn't you know that??
    Read the forum expert Tesserax instructions for using WPS. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16034147#16034147
    But it is better to plug in your printer to a mac by usb and use the disk provided to do a full manual setup of wireless.. WPS is simply the easy way.
