RV325 Router: Adding a wireless access point for wireless printer

Hi all,
I am trying to add a Linksys ea6350 wireless router to the RV 325 router with the goal of having a wireless printer on the network. I can connect wirelessly to the router and access the internet; PC's that are on the wireless router can find the printer and print. However, PCs that connected to the RV via LAN cannot. I am assuming that this has to do with how the traffic from the wireless router is handled and that basically at the moment both routers are functioning as two separate networks. 
Is this something that can be remedied from the Cisco router side? Or the Linksys? Or Both?
Thank you

Hi Jow, it sounds like you have this EA router connecting through the WAN port going in to your RV router, that would make the most sense because it would NAT your connection, allowing you to wirelessly connect but your LAN connection to the RV325 not working.
If you want to fix this, move your connect from the EA router on to a "LAN port", disable the DHCP server then make sure it is on the same IP subnet as the RV325  and just let it broadcast the wireless signal. The EA router LAN ports are normal switch port so it will work ok.

  • Can I use this as a wireless access point for my network

    can I use this as a wireless access point for my network

    umm... use what?
    A Time Capsule? Sure. It's just like many other wireless base stations. It can run in either bridge or route mode - in bridge mode it's just like an access point linking the wired and wireless networks together.

  • How to enable wireless access point for WRT300N

    From product data, "First, there’s the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without wires."
    I already have a WRT54GX-V2 setup to modem.
    My intention for this WRT300N is to extend the network connectivity without any lan cable running along my house for those devices which only support LAN wire.
    Try to search/google around, there is no hint/help to configure AP in WRT300N.
    May I know how should I configure WRT300N so that i will be as an access point to WRT45GX-V2 without any wired connection between these 2 router.
    Thanks.

    Is that mean I can do that with WAP4400N only if we want to sustain wireless-N mode?
    Yes. With standard firmware, yes. (If there is a N WET wireless bridge, that would do it, too, of course)
    Is there any way to configure WRT300N to connect to WRT54GX by wireless?
    It may be possible if you can flash third party firmware like dd-wrt on the router (either one). I would suggest to check the dd-wrt wiki for notes on which routers are supported and which not. However, a bad flash may brick your router and it is probably not covered by warranty then...
    If use wired connection, do I need to change any configuration vs. default factory setup?
    If you can run a wire I would suggest this setup.
    EDIT: as Ricewind correctly noted, the Linksys WETs are the wireless bridges. The WRE is a repeater.

  • How do I setup my MacBook Pro (2009) as a wireless access point for all my wireless device to access the Internet using a USB wireless adapter?

    I connect to the Internet with a USB Super Antenna from CCrane.
    I want to establish a network on my Mac to allow my other wireless devices to use the USB connection at the USB.
    Any ideas?

    Yes, that would work, however it would cost me $2000 for the monitors.

  • Can an iMac serve as a wireless access point server?

    I have a current iMac with standard built in wireless capability but I'm on the net with wires (RJ45 twisted pair ethernet CAT5 cables). Can my iMac serve as a wireless access point for a new device in the house (Nintendo Wii)? Is there a setting I can turn on, or software that can be downloaded to have the iMac act as a server instead of just a client on a wireless network? I know that it's best to have dedicated hardware do this, but I'm looking for a software solution to use while I decide what to buy.
    Currently I have a DSL connection and a star style home network. The DSL modem has an ethernet cable to a hub, and our 2 macs connect with wires to the hub. (I have an older DSL modem that has no wireless capability, I know that upgrading the DSL connection involves a new modem that includes wireless, but the phone company makes no guarantees about supporting Macs, so I have to do some research first.)
    -Ken

    If your iMac connects to internet from ethernet cable, you can use airport to share the connection wirelessly by creating a network from airport, then go to system preference > sharing > internet and enable internet sharing. But if you already have a wireless router, Mac should be compatible, there is nothing inherently different between iMac's airport and PC's wireless card.
    For Wii, I have no experience myself but there are plenty of posts on this forum, like this one: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4528652&#4528652

  • Set up time capsule as wireless access point

    I am trying to set up my old apple time capsule as a wireless access point for my girlfriend. She is at college and the university does not permit routers, so I am trying to set the time capsule up so that is just takes the hardwired internet and allows wireless access to the internet so she can use her iPad and MacBook Air on the wireless instead of having to use a gigabit adapter to use the ethernet. The time capsule has the newest firmware and she is running mavericks which has the newest airport utility software. However I am not sure what settings to use to make this work. I am fairly intelligent when it comes to computers however I am not very skilled in networking. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thank you in advance!

    How old is the Time Capsule? Running what firmware?
    You have a problem.. If you cannot use the TC in router mode, then you are going to have to use it in bridge.. and it then depends on if the Uni system will hand out mulitple IP addresses. .which I doubt. In the end you might be stuck.. and it is not possible really with any system..
    Bridge normally requires that the TC take an IP address and then clients connecting to the TC wireless will also get IP addresses.. but if the uni system only hands out one address then the TC has already captured it and there are no more available.. but try that method first.. as it is the easiest.
    If it fails there is a more complicated method.. where we can give the TC a separate static IP in a different IP range and the wireless will still be bridged.. so the MBA or the ipad can use the wireless.. but only one can ever be online at a time.
    The only way around this is to use the TC as a router contra the rules in the uni.. although I would suggest the uni only cares if you break their system. Most people don't.. but I am unsure what happens if you do.
    Ask their IT people how to use a wireless only device like ipad, when they only provide ethernet. You might find there already is a wireless internet system as well.

  • I cannot print to a p1102w if i am on a machine connected to the same access point as the printer..

    I have two p1102w printers set up in a school, any time I try to print it will only work if the laptop i'm using is connected to a different wireless access point than the printer. This happens anywhere in the school, has anyone ever encountered something like this before?
    The laotops are running xp sp3 professional by the way.
    Thanks in advance for your thoughts and ideas.

    First thing to do is check your routing rules and tables in the network to make sure the type of communication you're wanting (printing via wireless on the same access point) is allowed. I'm betting something is off in those that's preventing communication.

  • 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.

  • Converting a BEFW11S4 V.2 router to a wireless access point. Can it be done?

    I recently upgraded my home wireless router to an N device.  Now, I'd like to use my old B wireless router as an access point to improve coverage on my property.  I'd like to place it in a location in my house too distant from the N router to connect it with a cable.  Any way to configure the old B router as a wireless access point?
    Thanks for any help you can give me.
    Dave

    yes..u can certainly configure the router as an AP ... follow the steps below :
    1)connect the B-router's port 1 to once of the LAN ports of the N-router
    2)access the B-router's web ui , using its ip address
    3)configure the wireless settings....in case , you want to make a roaming wireless network , the wireless settings on both the router should be same
    4)if the ip add of the N-router is 192.168.1.1 , then change the ip add of the B-router to 192.168.1.2 and disable its DHCP server ..

  • 1242AG Wireless Access Point - Cannot Get DHCP IP for BVI1 interface - Multiple SSIDs...

    Hello,
    I am attempting to set up three Cisco 1242AG Wireless Access Points with multiple SSID's. I used the web interface and directions online to set up the two networks I want and at least one of the networks work wirelessly.
    However, I have two problems:
    The first, which is the most important, is that the "management" interface, BVI1, doesn't get an ip address from our DHCP server. I set the VLAN 60 (which you'll see in the documenation below) to be the native VLAN on the device as well as on the switch that the device is connected to as well as other settings in the configeration file below. Because of this, I can only manage the device via the console port which would be a huge pain once all of the devices are mounted.
    The second problem is that I am not sure how to get both wireless networks broadcasting their SSID's. I have to manually type in the SSID for the second wireless network I have which I would prefer I don't have to. Anyway I can enable broadcasting on all of the SSID's?
    Thank you for your time.

  • Setting up WRVS4400N for switch & wireless access point

    Howdy, first post here.  What is the proper way to configure this device to act as a switch and wireless access point so I can connect it to a switch with router upstream?  I have a DLink router that was easy:  disable UPnP, disable DHCP, set an IP/Subnet, and it worked.
    My main router has a subnet mask of 255.255.240.0 but in the WRVS4400N setup screen I only get a list box with a limited number of masks, all of which are 255.255.255.x.  Is there any way to specify the 240?

    No. You cannot use a subnet mask larger then 255.255.255.0 on Linksys routers. They are only built to handle 255.255.255.0 and smaller. I guess they consider a LAN which requires a larger subnet, i.e. expects to run more then 253 networked devices requires a larger router.
    The only thing you can do is to choose 255.255.255.0 and to pick an IP address which matches the IP address from which you expect to do the usual configuration work. If you use 10.0.0.0/255.255.240.0 but the computers which have to configure the router are all in 10.0.1.0/255.255.255.0 you can use that subnet. This works with computers even if they have a different subnet mask.
    Of course, you can set any IP address you want, even one completely outside your normal LAN in order to "hide" the web interface from the normal LAN operation. The IP address of the router in your setup is irrelevant for the switching and wireless access. Both operate on ethernet/MAC addresses and the IP address of the router does not play any role there. If you use the 10 subnet mentioned before you could as well leave the router at 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0. Whenever you have to access the web interface of the router you must temporarily set a static IP address inside 192.168.1.* on the computer...

  • Can I disable my Verizon Fios Router Wireless radio, connect it to a switch and use my airport express as my wireless access point connected to an in wall ethernet port?

    Here's the deal.  I have a Verizon Fios MI424WR router.  My house has CAT5 throughout the house.  The media panel is located in the garage.  I want to take the Verizon Fios Router and cannot it in the media panel so I can connect a switch to it, that way, all my CAT5 can fire throughout the house. Verizon being Verizon decided to connect the router directly in the office. 
    Can I go this route (Router in media panel, switch cross connect to it) and use Airport Express, connected to one of the in-wall CAT5 ports in my house and then set it up as my wireless access point to provide wifi to my portable devices (iPad, iPhone, Macbook)?  Is this possible? Will Airport Express comminicate with my verizon router via ethernet in-wall? Do I have to turn off the wireless radio in the Verizon router?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    That is right, by hard wired I was just making clear wired vs wireless attachment.  AirPort family of devices will only act in a repeater mode with their own family members, not FiOS routers.  they have to be wired to work.
    There are some useful docs you can download from Apple, Support, Manuals, Peripherals, AirPort (just follow thos links from the Support button on the top bar):
    Apple AirPort Networks
    Designing AirPort Networks
    AirPort Express Setup Guide
    The last has a diagram of what you are trying to do, though without the house wiring, etc., but the basic principle.

  • Can I use the Ethernet Port for a computer when it is also used as a wireless network with an Airport Extreme as the access point for the wireless network

    Can I use the Ethernet Port  of the A1264 Airport Express to connect to the Ethernet port of a computer that does not have wireless capability when the Airport Express is also used on a wireless network with an Airport Extreme 5th generation as the access point for the network?
    I have AE 5th gen
    looking to buy (from ebay) the AEX A1264
    Various computers, printers and hubs for the network
    Is this possible to do?

    Bob, Thanks for the info. I have read different articles that said yes, but I wanted to make sure before I commit to buy. I have an older A1084 which I could not use the Ethernet port. I know at one point I was able to when I was on 10.4. Now that I am on an Intel processor and 10.8 I am going to have to upgrade some of my Apple wireless hardware.
    Thanks Again.

    Cisco AP AIRCAP3702E is Cisco enterprise unit.  Cisco small business support WAP4410N, WAP121, WAP321, WAP551, and WAP561 AP. However I will answer your questions.
    Lightweight AP ISO you can use it ONLY if you connect AP to wireless controller
    Autonomous AP ISO for manage and modify AP  by it self not required wireless controller.
    Thanks,

  • Wireless access point advice for SMB (5 users)

    I have a small site, 12 employees, five of whom will need wireless access to the LAN.
    This site has an 877 (not 877W) and so I need a wireless access point.
    I've been looking at the Cisco Aironet 1130AG. Can anyone make a recommendation, something that will be the same or similar to configure as wireless services on the 800 series wireless routers.
    There is no domain or radius server, so any user authentication will need to be handled by the AP.
    Any useful information would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Gareth

    You're on the right track. The 1131AG is a great platform for small offices. It has built in antennas and is not offensive looking when mounted to the ceiling. Running a single 1131AG would allow you to run RADIUS locally on the AP so you could still use EAP security types such as EAP-FAST with WPA2.
    Once you go to deploy, there are plenty of us here on the forum that can help if you run into config gotchas.
    Of course I'll include the standard disclaimer that your coverage might vary based on the building construction, so you could need multiple APs to cover enough area. If certain coverage is absolutely mandatory, you should consider a site-survey beforehand.
