Running two wireless networks simultaneously

I am running two independent 802.11n 5GHz networks simutaneously. Each has a unique SSID. The first network is using channels 36 & 40 and the second network is using channels 44 & 48. When the first network is transmitting data and the second network attemps to transmit, the second network must wait until the first is finished and then start its transmission. If the first network then needs to transmit, it must also wait until the second network is finished. They keep flip-flopping back and forth. Is this normal? I know they have to wait until the "channel" is clear before they can transmit, but I'm using unique channels and unique SSIDs. Anybody have any idea what's happening and how to get around it?

I agree. The Draft N Standard does provide for a "speed drop and wait" period if another N network is running in the same area. I would "guess" that if there is any possible way you can do so - and of course only you know your circumstances, etc., so it may not be an option for some very good reason- consider combining your two units into one network with two accesspoints available on it. This will eliminate the "stop and wait" stuff, give you better coverage than the two separate networks, and be far less sensitive to various slow-downs, etc. If you reason for separating them is because you're isolating the non-N equipment on one network, if you're lucky enough that it's maybe just one or two printers and/or a computer or two - see if you can hardwire them either back to the AEBS N Units or to a powered hub that's then connected to the Base Stations. Getting the 801.11 B&G units off the air and onto hard wired connections will speed them up greatly, and eliminate any problems with these units slowing down your blazingly fast N-network access. I know it sure as **** did so for me. I had two printers (one w/ Ethernet and 1 with USB Only) and I migrated both of them to hard wired connection at the AEBS-N/g. The one non-N computer was literally beside the base station/cable modem anyway - so plugging it into ethernet was no problem at all. The result is that the remaining five or six computers with an "N-spec" card in them jumped in speed to where they can easily outrun anything my Time Warner Cable modem can ever hope to deliver. My whole network suddenly feels like it's hard wired vs airport. Amazing benefit for getting two printers and one aging computer onto ethernet and off the airports.
Good luck! But I am afraid that as long as your networks are seeing another "N" network in the area they're going to do this slow down and wait routine to avoid collision of data and retrys resulting from that.
All the best,
MI

  • Using two wireless networks simultaneously

    I have a Linksys WRT54G and a Time Capsule, and I want to be able to use the N speed of my TC for backups without it being wired to anything (I keep it hidden in the house somewhere).
    What I'd like to do is to have the iMac join two networks, one for Internet and another for TC, but try as I might, I can't get that to work. It's like I can only turn on one network or the other. I have to have TC join the LinkSys' network as a G client.
    Alternatively, if the TC could be a G client and a G+N provider, that would work, too.
    So can anyone think of a way to get either of these scenarios set up?

    Hi tamboril,
    You cannot simultaneously join more than one wireless network so your first solution won't work. You could simultaneously connect wirelessly to your Linksys and wired to your TC (or vice versa) and, so long as only one of them supplied a default gateway and they supplied IP addresses on different subnets, then that would work.
    I think that you may be able to use the TC as an 'extender' but I'm not sure if that requires a wired connection between the two APs or if it can be both client and base station. If it is possible to be a repeater then you may find that you don't get much benefit from running G to the Linksys and N to the client.

  • Connect to two wireless networks simultaneously

    Here's the scenario:
    I would like to have my airport express connect to my stereo and I'd like to have my mac connect to that via air tunes while at the same time connecting to a time capsule or other wireless router for internet use and have them both operating simultaneously. So that means playing music and using the internet and having both networks active.
    Wouldn't that be cool?
    I'd also like to have both my powerbook and my macbook doing that at the same time but they won't of course be sending to the airtunes setup at the same time.
    Does anyone know if this is possible?
    thx

    I would like to have my airport express connect to my stereo and I'd like to have my mac connect to that via air tunes while at the same time connecting to a time capsule or other wireless router for internet use and have them both operating simultaneously.
    You can. You just need to reconfigure the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to "join an existing wireless network" as a wireless client.
    Here's how ...
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
    AirPort > Base Station
    o Base Station Name: <rename or leave default>
    o Base Station Password: <enter desired password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter desired password>
    o Remember this password in my keychain: (optional)
    o Set time automatically: (unchecked)
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    o Network Name: <existing Time Capsule's wireless network>
    o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
    Music
    o Enable AirTunes (checked)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
    o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    o Verify Password: (optional)
    o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • Can I run 2 wireless networks on the same single internet connection?

    I wanted to be able to use only my WRT350N to be able to broadcast "N" out into the yard but because it does not broadcast as far as the WRT54G I will have to settle on plan B.
    I want to set up two wireless networks using my WRT54G V1 with a WSB24 and my new WRT350N wireless routers.
    My last working setup was:
    WRT350N with two 1Gb connections to my desktop computers in ports 1 & 2, my link to the WRT54G in port 3 and my HP printer in port 4. The address was changed to 192.168.1.50 and an encryption key used to secure the connection the N network to my laptop.
    WRT54G with only the WSB24 connected to provide an unsecured 802.11g wireless connection. We live in the country and I am not worried about unauthorized access to this.
    I have found that I can not make a stable wireless connection from the WRT350N past 50 ft. in the house and can not get a connection from this router out of the house. (hence the reuse of the WRT54G)
    Still following?
    My older router (WRT54G V1 and WSB24) allowed me to roam our yard out to about 175ft from the antennas with the 3945 Intel wireless adapter that is in my Gateway laptop. When I purchased the WUSB300N adapter for the "N" connection, I am able to get a 17% "G" signal in one of the outer buildings at about 200 ft from the WRT54G and not stable connection from the WRT350N past 50ft.
    I was able to run the WRT54G as a gateway after changing its address to 192.168.1.51 and leaving the WRT350N at 192.168.1.50 before I updated the WRT350N to v1.03.6 last night and turned it into a brick.
    That is talked about in a different thread.
    This setup allowed me to connect to the internet outside of the house with the laptop.
    Is there a better way to set this up?
    Thanks for your help.

    If I understand your request correctly it sounds like you want to create a VLAN, two different logical networks on the same physical network. If that's the case however, it would seem that neither the WRT54G nor the WRT350N supports VLAN, at least not without flashing the firmware on one or both of the devices. If you do choose to pursue flashing the firmware with third-party firmware that supports VLAN you might want to look into DD-WRT, HyperWRT, or some other firmware. Keep in mind flashing with third-party firmware voids your warranty with Linksys.

  • Can I connect a wireless printer to two wireless networks

    I searched and couldn't find an answer to this exact situation. The answers to similar questions didn't seem to work.
    Can we share a wireless printer over two wireless networks without adding hardware or changing the wiring or doing complicated software modifications?
    Here is my set-up:
    Cable Modem> Linksys Wireless Router “N” on the first floor > older AirPort Extreme “G” via ethernet cable on second floor > Laser Printer via USB Cable on the second floor, plus an AirPort Express to extend the area on the second floor. We have 2 MacBooks and 1 MacBookPro that connect to the internet via either of 2 wireless networks. Generally, for better connection, you choose “N” if you are on the first floor and “G” for the second floor.
    Currently, if you want to print to the USB Printer, you just select it in the print dialog box. It does not matter if you are on Network “N” or Network “G.”
    We just added a new wireless Printer that’s on the first floor. (No, I didn't read the directions, the printer screen said if there is a W?? button on your router, press it. I did and it automatically connected to the “N” network. It also has its own email address for printing without a computer, but that still doesn't solve this question.)
    If you want to print to this printer, you must first change the computer’s AirPort setting to join the “N” network. If you don't, you still get the print dialog box, but eventually you will notice that nothing happens. The document just sits in the Printer’s queue.
    Is there a way to get a computer on the “G” network to find the wireless printer on the “N” network without first changing networks?
    Remember, it automatically finds the USB printer that is plugged into the “G” network router.

    It used to be that if you wanted to wirelessly extend the range of a network, you'd have to set up a WDS. (WDS = Wireless Distribution System.) There was no "Extend a wireless network" option and no "Allow this network to be extended" checkbox—you'd have to fill out lots of WDS information yourself. It was sort of a pain.
    Then, with the 802.11n AirPorts, Apple introduced the "Extend a wireless network" option, greatly simplifying the setup process. It accomplishes the same thing as a WDS, but it's easier to set up and has less overhead. However, it can only be used if every AirPort in the wireless network supports 802.11n.
    Your Express may support 802.11n, but your Extreme is older and does not. So "Extend a wireless network" won't work for your network. That's why you got errors when you set the Express's "Wireless Mode" option to "Extend a wireless network." Instead, you'll have to do things the old-fashioned way* and configure the Extreme and the Express to be part of a WDS. Your network will still work as desired: the Express will rebroadcast the signal from the Extreme, and clients will connect to whichever station has the stronger signal. It's just that you'll be using the older WDS technology instead of the newer "Extend a wireless network" feature.
    "Join a wireless network" is something different entirely. You'd use it if you wanted to connect to a network but not rebroadcast it. This could be useful when, for instance, your main router isn't an AirPort but you want to use AirTunes. In your case, however, this option wouldn't be very useful.
    Look at [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2588489] for more information.
    *Actually, the old-fashioned way would be to use modems. Or to forget about the internet and send snail mail instead.

  • Run two VI-s simultaneously

    Hi,
    I want to run two VI-s simultaneously. I have a VI (Lets say VI-1) that has 4 different parts (look at the image.). What I want is the following:
    1. Run VI-1 (Has parts :A1,A2,B1,B2 and all parts will be active.)
    2. While VI-1 is running, Run a different VI (VI-2) that needs to access the DAQ card and stage controls.
    3. While VI-2 is running, VI-1 also keep on running but the DAQ and Stage parts are deactivated (Part A1 and A2 stays active but B1 and B2 deactivated).
    4. VI-2 stops after it finishes its job (in ~1 min).
    5. VI-1 keep on running and now as VI-2 stops, the DAQ and Stage parts are active again ( All A1,A2,B1,B2 active).
    I was using a global variable to set the DAQ and stage part unavailable while the other program is running and then set the DAQ available again.
    But that does not seem to be a good idea. It crashes frequently. Can anyone suggest a nice way to do this?
    I did not attach my actual VI-s because it is big and it will require lot of other drivers.

    Hi Babu726
    I modify your example, but keep in mind that it might behave like some sort of state machine but that is not the best way in which you can program a state machine on LabVIEW have a look to this link here they explain how to implement a state machine.
    In this example I have modify the code in order to help you with the notifyiers and show you how could you do run to different application and communicate two while loop. Also I have implemented a way to stop both while loops when you press the stop button or there is any error on any of the while loop.
    Is not the best or efficient way or program but it might help to get on track.

  • How to run two sub vi simultaneously??

    how to run subvi simultaneously.vi ‏11 KB

    You are correct, they will not run at exactly the same time.  What is it you are actually trying to do?  What platform are you developing on? What version of LabVIEW? What processor does your target system have? This information is vital in order for us to assist you.  In a nutshell, unless you are running a real-time OS, then the OS you are running is not deterministic.  When you say "at the same time", what are you actually referring to? As a note, when executing parrallel operations in LabVIEW, the execution order may or may not be the same with the highlight bubble on as it is when it is running without highlight execution.  It is highly unlikely that you will be able to just run two sub-vis at the exact same nS.  If you are using DAQ boards, you accomplish this through triggering.  Please give a detailed description of what you are doing, and what you see the road blocks being.

  • Two wireless networks

    I'm considering getting the Time Capsule to not only provide it as a source for Time Machine backups but to add another new wireless network. I currently have my Macbook, ATV and a Windows laptop (Wife's) connected wirelessly to the AEBS. I have to run the AEBS in the N/G/B compatible mode since the Windows machine does not have a N compatible wifi card. I want to be able to run my N compatible gear on a separate N network and the Windows machine on a G network. I think I understand how to marry my existing AEBS to the Time Capsule (Bridged mode, different wifi name etc.) But, my question is will I be able to access all the LAN connections on both routers from both networks? For one, I have a NAS drive that I would like to be able to access.

    As Duane points out, that won't be a problem. As long as you have DHCP off in Time Capsule, then you should have no problems connecting and accessing from both LAN networks.
    I myself have an Airport in 54G only, and another D-Link wireless router in b/g, both have different wifi names, my Airport has DHCP disabled and a wire connected to my D-Link wiress router. I can access all LAN functions from both devices together, there's no problem in both talking, and both devices share my internet from my cable connection. In all, you should be good to go.

  • Best configuration for Time Capsule & Airport Extreme running one wireless network?

    We just moved to a house that does not have Ethernet pre-wired so I've had to re-setup the wireless network in a different configuration and it seems we're experiencing deteriorated wireless signal for devices like laptops.  It will work perfectly fine (and fast! wheee!!!) but then it will slow to a crawl and mostly timeout.  before I reset everything and start from scratch, I'd like some help.  As an FYI, when connected via Ethernet to either of these, Internet is blazingly fast… so my problem here is the Wireless portion. 
    As some background, here is how we had the network set up in the previous house which was working great (although it was wired for Ethernet which made things A LOT easier):
    Airport Extreme (4th Generation)
    Wireless Mode: Create a Wireless Network
    Internet Facing (Connected to the Cable Modem)
    Location: Upstairs Utility Closet (with Smartbox and cable modem)
    Time Capsule (1st Generation)
    Wireless Mode: Extend a Wireless Network
    Joined to existing network above, but also connected to the Ethernet jack
    Location: Upstairs Office
    Here is the current set up we have running:
    Time Capsule (1st Generation)
    Wireless Mode: Create a Wireless Network
    Internet Facing (Connected to the Cable Modem)
    Radio Mode: 802.11n (b/g compatible)
    Location: Upstairs Office
    Airport Extreme (4th Generation)
    Wireless Mode: Extend a Wireless Network
    Joined to existing network above with NO incoming Ethernet connection
    Location: Downstairs Family Room
    My understanding is that the Airport Extreme should pick up and relay the signal downstairs, as well as provide the router for the devices downstairs that need Ethernet (TiVo, Apple TV, etc).
    So, my question is (and thank you in advance for helping me sort this out!), what would be the best configuration to optimize the Wireless performance in the house? 
    Also, for whichever device is the one picking up the existing network and providing the router capabilities for the Tivo and such, is it possible for it to pick up but not rebroadcast the signal?  I think in this new house we may have a good enough signal from the office, without the need to rebroadcast it.  My theory is that in this house, they are too close together and interfere with each other and/or devices aren't sure which to choose so they bounce back and forth endlessly.  Again, just a theory.
    Many thanks again for your help! If I've left out any information, please ask and I can provide. 

    Should they be running on the same channel (as with the "Extend" option previously? Or just both on Automatic channels?
    I would recommend the Automatic setting on both devices because this will allow each router to scan and choose an open channel automatically. If  you want to set the channels manually, keep them separated by at least 4-5 channels. You would not want to ever use the same channel for both devices in this type of "roaming" setup.
    Is there a way to limit bandwidth per device (or action) so that it doesn't monopolize the network and keep other devices from using it?
    Nothing that I am aware of. It sounds like  you have some young users who are likely visiting Bit Torrent sites, which will really gobble up the bandwidth with big, heavy downloads. The Time Machine has to back up the same files again when it makes the next pass, so that clogs things up again.
    Backups would go 3-5 times faster, on average, if the computer(s) could connect using Ethernet, but I understand that wires are not cool with the younger crowd.
    should BOTH the TC and AE be set up in Bridge mode?
    The AirPort Extreme should be set up in Bridge Mode.
    The Time Capsule...it depends. If the TC is connected to a simple cable modem...then the correct setting for Connection Sharing would be "Share a public IP address" on the TC. That is because a simple modem has only 1 IP address to deliver. The TC takes that address and "shares" it with other devices by setting up a local network for all your other devices.
    If the TC is connected to a gateway....a combination modem/router in the same box that usually has 3-4 Ethernet ports on the device....then that device would be considered the main router on the network and the TC would be  configured in Bridge Mode in that case to function correctly on the network.

  • Airport Express Problem with Wired/Wireless networks simultaneously

    Hello,
    I'm having trouble maintaining a connection with my AX (2012) in a work environment.  Basically, I have a Win 7 laptop connected via ethernet to the internet/corporate net.  I have configured the AX to create a separate wifi network that does not connect to the internet. In order to connect to the AX, I have to disable both the Ethernet adapter and the WLAN adapter, enable the WLAN adapter, connect it to the AX's network, and wait for it to show up in the utility.  Only then can I re-enable the ethernet adapter for internet access.  Then, inevitably, the connection dies within 15 minutes and I have to repeat the whole process.
    Can anyone tell me what's going on here?  Is the wired network interfering with the wireless network?  Is something configured wrong?  Below is the output from ipconfig/all, if that helps.  The AX is configured with a 169.254 range. IP address and behaves the same way whether the IP address is auto or manual, and there is no difference if the signal roams channels or is fixed to a single channel (I've played with them all).
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Here goes - read this through completely and see if it makes sense:
    1.  Reset the Express to factory settings by unplugging it and plugging it back in while holding in the reset button - release the button when the light starts blinking - then wait for the light to blink slowly indicating factory default.
    2.  Disable the wireless and enable the ethernet on the laptop and connect an ethernet cable to the WAN port (the circle of dots) of the Express and use the AU toset it up in bridge mode to create a wireless network with a name of your choice - you don't really need a password but you can assign one if you wish - if you do not use a password you will have to choose to ignore the error message for no security.
    3.  Accept all other defaults and ignore any messages about not having an internet or ethernet connection and update or finish the setup - if you get a blinking amber light, open the AU and correct any error messages.
    4. You can now disconnect the ethernet cable and disable the ethernet on the laptop and enable the wireless so you can stream iTunes to the Express - the laptop must stay wireless to do this - you can not accesss both at the same time - you can also use an iPhone or iPad or iPod to use Airplay and then you can use the laptop via ethernet for the internet.
    5.  To access the Express from now on, you have to use the AU wirelessly from the laptop.
    The above is assuming that you don't currently have wireless in your office - the other alternatives are:
    1.  To hardwire the Express and have it create a wireless network and access the internet - you could then use your laptop wirelessly or wired to connect to the Express and use Airplay and your pc at the same time.
    2.  If your office has wireless, you can set up the Express to "join" the existing network - you can then do the same as in number 1.
    I hope this helps - everyone's situation is different - the above scenarios work for me - you might have to do some tweaks but the info is there - let me know if you have any questions.

    I have two routers in to differant metal buildings and a pc on each and three lap tops. one lap top well see bouth wireless but will not connect to one, but it well the outher weak one and it isnt the security.

    Hi… What is the wireless encryption level you selected on your Network? If it is WPA or WPA2 then make sure your wireless adapter supports this encryption and selected algorithm (TKIP or AES). Also make sure that your OS supports the same. If you are using windows XP, then try installing the SP2 patch along with WPA2 patch.

  • Can I connect to two wireless networks at a time?

    I am using an iMac currently connected wirelessly to a Verizon Mifi mobile broadband on one network. I also have a Linsys router connected to the same iMac via an ethernet cable so that I may stream my itunes content to my Apple TV third gen. Lets call this my private network and the verizon my internet for now.
    Instead of connecting the ethernet cable to the computer, itself, for the use of the private network, I am wondering if there is a way/workaround/software that would allow me to connect to both the internet AND the private (non internet) networks at the same time. I have the internet info (IP, Mask, Gateway, DNS) and know how to change that same information by logging into my router via its standard IP address to set up. Can anyone lend me ANY leads to this.
    My goal it to be able to eliminate the ethernet, and connect to both networks at the same time just to be clear.
    THANKS!!!

    The way that the Macs work, in general, is that the Internet connection can be shared out through the various means that are installed on the Mac itself. For instance, I used to have Verizon Wireless' 4GLTE Modem connected to a USB port and shared it out via the wireless and Bluetooth PAN.
    The biggest problem faced by using Bluetooth is the distance. As everyone who uses Bluetooth headsets knows, you really cannot wander too far from the unit you are paired with--at most 30-40 feet. The unit I was experimenting with was my iPod Touch 4G. I turned off the wireless on the iPod, but left the bluetooth on.
    When you Internet Share with the iMac, you have to set the IP address for the connection the other devices are going to share on (i.e. if you connect to Internet on Ethernet, share out on wireless--Ethernet ip might be 192.168.1.8, set your wireless as 192.168.2.1). HOWEVER, set your IP for the shared part before starting the connecting of Internet Share. The set by DHCP should be turned off, you want it to be a static address.

  • Usering two wireless routers simultaneously?

    hi there - I'm hoping someone here may be able to point me in the right direction:
    problem:
    I have a WRT300n that is currently setup for WPA encryption for most of my wireless devices (xbox, another pc etc.).  I have 2 desktop pcs connected (via wire) to the back of the router with 2 free ports left on the WRT300n.
    However, my pocket PC does not support the new WPA encryption, only WEP - I'm hoping to use my spare WRT54GS to serve any WEP only devices (in my case, only my pocket PC.
    Can anyone recommend an appropriate way to configure the two routers to behave correctly?  I've tried to connect the WAN port of the WRT54GS to the one of the spare ports on the 300n, but so far am unable to "see" the 54GS from any of the wired PCs.
    Much appreciated in advance!
    Ted

    Did you try connectiong free lan port of WRT300n to the lan port of WRT54GS. However, configuring the wireless security of WRT54GS to WEP.
