Setting up EA4500 as wireless repeater

Hi,
I have EA4500 router that connects a couple of desktops in one room. I am having to setup another room for gaming for which I have another EA4500 router. I want to setup the second EA4500 uplink(accesspoint) as the first EA4500. I dont find any interface to do it. I am able to do it wired(by connecting the both the routers through LAN ports). but I dont want to run cable across the house.
Please let me know if it is possible with another firmware. Or should I return this new EA4500 and buy another router?

zee29 is right. EA4500 doesnt have that feature. WES610N is good ! You just have to snychronize the wireless settings with the main router you have and place it where you want to get your gaming device working . It has 4LAN ports so you can connect 4 wired devices.
I believe that I can make it

  • Setting up Aironet 1142n as repeater

    Hi,
    I've just recently purchased the Aironet 1142n and am hoping to set it up as a repeater. I've followed the documentation here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/12.4_21a_JA1/configuration/guide/scg12421aJA1-chap19-wgb-standby.html#wpxref31658
    but am still having problems.
    What I'm trying to achieve is:
    I have an adsl router (TP-link W8960N) at the front of the house but the wireless signal does not reach all the way to the end of the house. I am trying to set up the aironet 1142n to act as a repeater and place it in the middle of the house and hopefully that will extend the wireless signal to the end of the house and remove the dead spots. I would like to do this without having ethernet cables running all over the place and have been trying to configure the aironet 1142n to no avail. Every time I set the aironet 1142n to "repeater" it automatically coverts back to "access point" under role of radio network.
    I guess my main question first of all is, can I set the aironet 1142n as a wireless repeater? And if so, where am I going wrong in my configuration?
    I've just read that "
    Repeater access points running Cisco IOS software cannot associate to parent access points that that do not run Cisco IOS software."
    Does this mean the aironet 1142n set up as a repeater will not work if the original access point (in this case, the TP Link adsl wireless router) isn't a cisco brand?
    Thanks,
    Karen

    Karen: Im not aware about any cisco IOS based device that will help.
    I suggest that you post you question in small business -wireless section. If they know such a product they will help.
    You can also look for TP repeater since your AP is TP already.

  • WRT 160n v2 as a wireless repeater

    I have a E4200 as my main router and would like to use my old WRT 160n v2 as a wireless repeater upstairs. I am getting the impression that I can't do that with v2...Is there any way I can make this work?

    If the User Manual or the routers UI doesn't mention or display any Repeater funtions, then it would not be supported. The next best option would be to wired LAN to LAN AP mode and set it up as a additional wireless AP:
    http://www.northshore-it.com/tips/how-tos/cascade_linksys/#LAN_to_LAN
    Or Cascade the router as BigDave mentioned.

  • WAP54G Wireless Repeater still has problems after setup

    I have a WAP54G configured as a Wireless Repeater to my WRT54GS router.  I have configured all equipment on my  wireless network (192.169.1.xxx) with static IP's.  My Router MAC has been entered in the WAP54G and the link works . . . kinda . . . .sorta. . . .with issues
    I also have an A/V receiver hard-wired to the RJ-45 at the Wireless Repeater.  I am able to access Internet Radio stations on the A/V Receiver thru the Wireless Repeater uplinked to the Router and out to Internet.  I also have a Synology NAS which is hard-wired back at my WRT54GS router.  Although the A/V Receiver can "see" all audio files and folders on my network NAS, I am unable to play any of the MP3 files.  The Receiver will immediately display "Access Error".  As a test, if I temporarily plug the NAS network directly into the A/V Receiver (threreby bypassing all of my home networking) all MP3's will play fine.  Therefore, the problem must either be in the WAP54G, the WRT54GS, or the configuration in one or both of them..
    My connections are:
    A/V Receiver ------ WAP54GS {{{{{{{{{ wireless }}}}}}}}}}} WRT54GS ----- CABLE Modem ------- Internet
    I also have a NAS directly hard-wired into one of the WRT54GS RJ-45 ports.
    My questions::
    1. When configured as a Wireless Repeater, wll the WAP54G still fully function with hard-wired devices connected directly into the RJ-45 port (as I currently have it set up)?  Most all of the literature and articles I've seen concentrate on the expansion of the Wi-Fi portion of the Wireless Repeater only and make minimal or no mention of using the integral RJ-45 port.
    2. Since the WAP54G Wireless Repeater has a separate actual IP address, do I need to do any changes to addressing on either my A/V Receiver, NAS? or Router  Specifically, does the Wireless Repeater become fully "transparent" to my home network or do I need to re-enter different IP addresses, port forwarding or port trigerring?  (This is the stuff I don't really understand.) 
    3. Should the system basically function as I have described or is there anything I'm obviously missing that would prevent the A/V Receiver from properly communicating with the NAS thru the Wireless Repeater and the Router?
    All replys or suggestions gratefully appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply,
    As far as your sketch is concerned . . .Yes, that is what I attempted to describe in my earlier postings.
    Before my first post, I attempted to verify as much as I was able.
    I noted earlier that I had tried AP Client and could not get it to work.  Literature for the WAP states that the only mode which can connect a WAP to a WRT router is the Wireless Repeater mode.  On the WAP, both AP Client, and Wireless Bridge modes state that each will only communicate with another (second) WAP (there is no mention of WRT in those modes).  That would require a second WAP and yet more $$$, just to uplink ONE RJ-45 to my router.  OK, since it can't damage anything, I tried the other modes just for "grins & giggles".  It resulted in a very-unhappy wireless network.  All network devices poped up with IP-Conflict errors and the network came to a crashing halt.  This is why I ended up with Wireless Repeater mode.
    Yes, with the WAP configured as Wireless Repeater, I AM able to easily ping the receiver from anywhere on my network.  In fact, I've tried 3-4 different ethernet devices plugged into the RJ-45 port of the WAP and I can ping them all.  Amazingly, every other ethernet device I plug into thje WAP work perfectly  . . except streaming music from my NAS to my A/V receiver.  At that point, I suspected the receiver has a network port problem except it perfectly streams internet radio thru the WAP.  The only thing the WAP will not stream successfully is music from my NAS.  I should also clarify that ALL firewall features on my NAS are disabled because it is already on the secure side of my router.  Therefore, I'm positive nothing in the NAS is blocking access from the WAP.  I've also verified my other 3 home PC's can access the NAS.  Two PC's are hard-wired to my router net and one PC is a laptop with wi-fi linked to my WRT router (all are on my 192.168.1.xxx network).  The REALLY screwy part is that I CAN display all files and folders on the NAS from the receiver  . . they just won't successfully play without giving a network error message.  Lastly, as a test, I've even temporarily disabled all wi-fi security.  Result is identical.
    To eliminate everything but the WAP, I temporarily stretched a 75' Cat-5 cable between the receiver and my WRT router.  With no other changes or setting mods, it immediately works perfectly.  Seriously, I've spent dozens & dozens of hours on this.  I"ve even borrowed another WAP from a friend (same version & newest firmware revision) and once it is configured, it does the exact same thing. I've even did a WAP hardware "Reset" and reconfigured it from scratch . . . also same thing. 
    Again, to clarify, ALL of this is on the same side of my home network.  Everything is within my 192.168.1.xxx.  I've triple-checked that I have no IP confilicts, I've tried both DHCP and using static IP's.  I've even tried disconnecting ALL other devices except for my receiver, the WAP and the WRT with the same results.   I am NOT trying to access any of this from the internet side of my router, so I shouldn't need to mess with port forwarding amd all that.  Everything says it "should" work . . . but yet it doesn't, on TWO different WAP devices.  All I can figure out is that the RJ-45 port on the WAP is not "fully transparent" when configured as a Wireless Repeater.  The literature does not state whether it is or if the device is designed as a Wi-Fi repeater only.
    Since I'm only trying to get a single RJ-45 device up-linked to my router, I'm inclined to pick up a $30 ethernet to wi-fi gaming adapter, throw my old WAP on the shelf and get a beer.  It should work, and I've spent WAY too much time on this already.

  • Hardware/Software Compatibility Question With Wireless Repeater

    Hey Discussions,
    This is a simple question that's more along the lines of a hardware issue. I havea wireless connection in my building that I need to boost so I will be able to have a stronger and faster connection. From what I've gathered in my newbie networking skills, I'll need a wireless repeater to accomplish this task.
    I need two things from the masses:
    A suggestion for a wireless repeater (preferably one that's universal, as I don't know anything about the router that is supplying the Internet...don't ask.)
    And a simple way to set this up so it will be able to work with both my Mac mini and a laptop running Windows XP.
    Sound easy enough, yet I can't figure anything out. Any help will be appreciated!
    -Mateo

    You're heading down a slippery slope. Be careful.
    Frist, define why you think you need to boost the signal.
    When you're connected, how many 'bars' do you have on your AirPort signal strength meter? If that's low, then fair enough, otherwise something else is going on and a repeater might not help.
    For example, your connection could be slow because there are many people using the wireless network (the wireless bandwidth is shared between all wireless clients.
    It could also be slow because your upstream link (from the base station to the rest of the network) is saturated
    It could also be slow if the server you're using is overloaded (especially if you're using a proxy server that's proxying all your web traffic since that would affect all sites, not just one).
    If you have a good signal then a repeater (e.g. WDS) is going to degrade performance, not increase it, so it's important to determine the cause before you try to implement a 'fix'.

  • Connecting a wrt610n and netgear wnr2000v2 in wireless repeater mode

    I am having trouble getting the wrt610n to connect to the wnr2000v2 that can be set a  wireless repeater.  I had a 160n hooked up and it was working fine, but am unable to get the 610n going on it.  I'm kinda new to setting this type of networking up , but have a general idea of how it works.  I have the 610n running and is broadcasting a signal, but the wnr 2000 will not connect to it wirelssly and repeat it.  The setup in the netgear is pretty basic , but I am new to the linksys 610n and the interface that's why I believe it has to do with the 610n.  Could someone please walk through the settings for me?  Any help would be appreciated.

    So as per the scenario that you mentioned according to that could you please tell us the name of the ISP ( Internet Service Provider ).... As it all depends up the ISP ( Internet Service Provider ) setup....  Secondly check the firmware version of the Router is updated or not if it is not then it can be downloaded from the Cisco website (homesupport.cisco.com ).... Once after updating the firmware reset the Router and configure it again...
    As far as wireless is concern WRT610N Router is dual-band Wireless-N Router... So that it means it has 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
    frequencies...
    As far as wireless settings is concern you can use same wireless network name or even you can use different network name...
    For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
    For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161..
    So these settings are sufficient to make the Netgear  WNR2000 v2 as a repeater mode...

  • Set up a Foscam wireless webcam through BaseStation 7.71 inside and outside of my home network.

    I bought a X10 wireless Security Camera last year and it took me months to figure out how to set it up to access the video both inside my home and through my iPhone remotely, even on my Mac at my office.  I thought I would provide my process of getting this done to help those trying something similar.  Yes the X10 camera works as a Foscam Camera.  I am very happy with the result.  The biggest  challenge was Port Forwarding the Apple Basestation but now that I figured it out, it is easy.
    "How I set up a Foscam wireless webcam through Apple Hardware and software to work inside and outside of my home network seemlessly."
    What you need:
    -Foscam or compatible camera, (iPad or iPhone or Mac or better all three)!
    -Service Provider Router.
    -Apple Base Station, Extreme or Express. 7.71
    -'ip scanner' (software for Mac, app for iPad/iPhone.
    -CCTV Camera pros port scanner app for iPhone.
    First REMOTE ACCESS
    Go to www.dyndns.org and set up an account. For about $20/yr you can have 30 host websites.  Write down the user name and password as you will need it later.
    You need  this service to have a stable website to see your camera outside your network later as 'ip' addresses can change but this site will remain stable.
    Then after you log back in, create a 'host website' from the menu.  When you are creating the host site, dyndns will give you lots of web address choices or you can create your own. Just pick one. Also, you will need the 'ip' of the server where the camera will be. Luckily the dyndns website tells you this, just select it. Write down the web address, click create and you are done this part.
    Next you need to set up the camera.
    CAMERA SET UP
    Using an Ethernet cable, connect your Apple Base Station to your web cam.
    You will need to run 'ip scanner' to see the 'ip' address for the web cam. Write down the 'ip'. Select it, then select "open device in".  Pick browser.
    A web page will be launched and you are given 3 choices. I picked the middle, 'push browser'.  You are then asked for the user name and password for the camera. By default the user is 'administrator' and there is no password. Just click log in. You now will see a menu along the left, at the bottom it should say 'device management'. Select that. Another page will show and there are several important things to do here.
    1. Alias - give a name to the camera.
    2. Set the time from a server.
    3. Users - set a user and password. Write this down as you will need it.
    4. Basic network. Either check to 'Obtain IP from DHCP Server' or specify an IP you want to stay the same. You need the subnet and main DNS server and the Gateway (same thing like 192.168.0.?or 10.0.0.? or 172.16.0.?)
    Decide on a port you want use. Write this down. The camera will reboot, you will need to log in. In the browser enter IP then : the port#.  Like 192.168.0.?:80 you will need the camera user name and password.
    5. Wireless-scan for the nearby network list. Pick your network, enter your password, click submit. It will reboot.
    6. UPnP-check to use.
    7. DDNS Service (this allows remote viewing) pick DynDns.org
    Enter your DynDns user name and password.
    Enter the long DynDns Host website you wrote down. Click Submit. It will reboot. 
    APPLE Basestation set up
    Run Airport Utility on Mac or iPad or iPhone.
    Tap basestation, tap edit, tap advanced, tap Port Settings, tap 'new entry', in description enter a name, enter HTTP port number you picked when setting up the camera in all 4 spots: public and private UDP and TCP. Enter the IP address you picked in the camera setup. Click done and again until the Basestation updates.
    Run the CCTV app, pick 'tools', pick 'Port forwarding Checker'. Enter the port you selected to see if it shows open then you are good. If not go back through the steps.
    Set up Foscam App on the iPad and iPhone.
    Run App, tap Add Camera,
    Label- enter a name
    User- Camera user name
    Password- Camera
    Local camera address-the IP address eg 192.168.0.?
    Port- the one you specified.
    If it connects you will see the chain turn green.
    Remote address- the long one from DynDns.
    Port- the one you specified.
    If it connects you will see the chain turn green.
    Tap done.
    If everything is entered correctly it will all work.
    Trouble shooting, make sure the IP address for the camera is listed correctly in the Apple Router.  If it changes on the network, just go into the Airport Utility and update that.  Also make sure the dyndns address is correctly listed in the Camera set up.
    If questions, just let me know.

    Ok.. you have to work out the way you are going to access the TC..
    There are basically three methods..
    1. Direct access using AFP.. you need a static public IP and the TC as the main internet router.. then you need to turn on internet access and password the hard disk. The college has to have port 548 open.
    If you do not have a static public IP then you can use ddns service but there is no client in the TC.. so you will have to figure out a way to update the service.
    2. Use BTMM with icloud. This is the Apple method. It actually uses vpn..(the vpn is locked to apple use only but it is not available to end user).. The requirements are 7.6.1 firmware and lion or ML on a Mac computer. I am not sure of the ports because the link to the Apple cloud is separate from the vpn to your home system.
    3. VPN.. that means you need to bridge the TC and use a decent quality vpn modem / router or combo thereof.
    VPN are not for the faint of heart.. it can take a lot of work to get running but offers the best security.. you will need to change the network equipment in your house more than likely.. using a pc / mac as a vpn server is possible.. but messy.
    There are also easy ways to at least access the home computer.. teamviewer for example. This is likely blocked by the college though.
    Double NAT is where you put a router on a private IP behind another router on a private IP.. that makes port forwarding close to impossible.

  • I have an airport express and want to know how to set up two different wireless networks. One with 5GHZ and one with 2.4GHZ so different devices can connect to either.

    I have an airport express and want to know how to set up two different wireless networks. One with 5GHZ and one with 2.4GHZ so different devices can connect to either. I have an iphone 4 that will not connect to 5ghz.
    thank you!

    Your AirPort Express is already providing two separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, but each band is using the same wireless network name.
    This is the default setup for the AirPort Express, which is recommended for most users. The theory here is that devices will automatically connect to the best quality signal based on their capabilities and distance in relation to the AirPort Express.
    It is possible to assign a different name to the 5 GHz band, and then "point" devices at that network to connect. Some users swear by this option.....(I am not one of them).... but you might want to give it a try to see how it works for you.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort Express
    Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
    Click Wireless Options near the bottom of the next window
    Enter a check mark next to 5 GHz Name.....which will automatically add "5 GHz" to the network name....so you can identify it
    Click Save, then click Update and wait a full minute for the Express to restart
    Now you will need to "point" your 5 GHz capable devices at the 5 GHz network name.  2.4 GHz devices will connect to your "other" network name.

  • Setting up a second wireless network with TC

    Hi All
    Am shiny new to these communities and a recent convert from PC/Windows to MAC/OS and have so far been loving a simple, easy to use home computer life!
    I've scoured through to see if i could find an answer to my question but couldn’t see anything so my apologies if I’ve missed it and it has been answered before.
    As part of our upgrade to MAC I also invested in a TC to enable us to make use of Time Machine and securely back up pictures and videos etc. it's been working like a dream and have had no problems. but now i want to get a bit clever.....i think
    Apologies for the impending "book"....
    My current home set up is as follows:
    BB is provided via cable so the router and modem are required to sit by the TV giving me some issues in getting a clear wifi signal in those far to reach corners of the house.  To overcome the occasional signal interruption I have used Power line Network Adaptors throughout the house.
    Downstairs
    Cable Modem/Router - Plugged into Power line Network adaptor
    Media streamer - Plugged directly into Router
    Office
    Mac mini - Plugged into Power line Network adaptor
    Airprint Printer - Plugged into Power line Network adaptor
    Windows Laptop - Plugged into Power line Network adaptor
    Upstairs
    WD my Book Live - Plugged into Power line Network adaptor
    Media Streamer - Plugged into Power line Network adaptor
    TC - Plugged into Power line Network adaptor
    Currently the WD NAS holds our media content for streaming to the media streamers downstairs and in the bedroom.  While i could use the WD NAS to hold my Time Machine backups I was worried about available space and i didn’t want to put everything into one place in case the worst happens and it's ever stolen etc. So i elected to get a TC as a second NAS drive purely for time machine backups which then meant our family pics etc were safe and in the event of us ever getting broken in to its unlikely any would-be burglar would find both NAS's, if either.
    But here in lays my issue. 
    My wireless range upstairs is fairly weak and i wanted to use the TC to "extend" my current wireless network upstairs. meaning iPads, iPhones etc will still get the benefit of a good signal and printing can still be down via airport etc.
    I've tried to set it up via Time Machine that the wireless is turned on but the back ups are done over Ethernet (for obvious speed reasons) but for some reason i can’t seem to have the TC doing both.  If i have it plugged in to the Power line Network adaptor but set it up with wireless enabled i don’t get any better wireless signal upstairs.  But the backup still seems to be going over the Ethernet Power line Network adaptors.
    What am i not doing?  Or is what i want to achieve not possible?
    Apologies for the novel and i hope I’ve explained my set up correctly for someone to point me in the right direction?
    Many Thanks in advance for any help or pointers

    I have a similar issue I guess.
    I have the DSL(or cable modem, tried both) connected to the TC. The TC then shares the Internet wirelessly on the first and second floor(since the iMac is on the first, right next to the TC that is not a problem).
    I want to get reliable network connectivity to the third floor so i have connected the TC to a Powerline adapter on the first floor and the second powerline on the third floor is connected to an Airport Express to extend the network up there.
    However, the only way i could get it to work was to bridge with the AE on 3rd which creates a new network. It works great, as long as the devices are in the room from the startup of the network. If say i take the iphone or laptop down to 2nd or 1st floor and they access the wireless network from the TC with no problem, when I return them  to the 3rd floor, they see the 3rd floor network but I cannot get them assigned an IP address and they are stuck wth a self-assigned IP until I go back down to the first floor and unplug/replug the powerline there.
    Ideally, I'd like it to be one network so there is no switch over, and therefore no need to reset, alternatively, I need some sort of solution to let the devices get a new IP address when they return to the third floor.
    Baffled.

  • Can I add a second airport as a wireless repeater?

    CAn I use a second airport extreme as a wifi repeater using the main router wifi?

    I am hoping an airport express can work as a wireless repeater WITHOUT having to be connected into the LAN via Ethernet cabling. Is this possible? In the manual online it seems that it only works as an extender (i.e. it must be plugged into the network router/switch) and can't repeat a wifi signal from one wifi device to an apple extreme base station. Can someone confirm this?

  • I have problem setting up a new wireless keyboard and my new Mac mini

    I have problem setting up a new wireless keyboard and my new Mac mini

    Same with my new mac mini.
    Got it brand new via the online shop.
    Happy to start with the new mac i really got dissapointed by the fact that it`s impossible to pair the wireless keyboard unless you first connect a USB keyboard to the mac mini and start the configuration.
    THIS S.U.C.K.S. !!!
    No hint at all from apple that you first have to connect the USB keyboard.
    I had to borrowed a USB keyboard from my neighbour :-((
    After setting things up it was no problem at all to establish the BT connection with the keyboard.
    Works fine now.

  • Airport Express as wireless repeater

    Hi all, just wondering if anyone could give me a hand. I have just bought an Airport Express (not arrived just yet) not just for streaming music, but for extending my network. I am a student and have just moved into my new house. The internet here already is fine, the people here before me have given me the password to the encryption but not to the account or the router. This will all change in September, however. The router is a Netgear DG834PN. My iMac is having difficulty connecting to the network, I think this is due to the distance it is away from the router, as when I connect the iMac upstairs (nearer to it) it connects fine, hence the desire for a wireless repeater. Will I be able to use the Airport Express as a repeater? If not, what must I do? Must I get an Apple wireless router as well? Will a time capsule be fine? Please remember I cannot access the DG834PN's graphical interface at all.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jake

    You will need to run an ethernet cable from the netgear to your airport express. then setup the airpor express as an access point. As you don't have access to the WebUI of the router then you wont be able to setup the airport express as a WDS or wireless repeater.
    The other option would be to connect a timecapsule to the router via ethernet. Setup the time capsule as a bridge to the router. Then you would be able to extend the wireless network with an airport express.

  • Wireless repeater using wrt54g and wap54g

    i am having problems connecting my wrt54g and wap54g as wireless repeater. my setup is as follows: 1. wrt54g (192.168.1.10) is connected to a dsl provider modem/router (192.168.1.1) (dhcp server). With this setup i do not have any problems connecting my wired pc and laptop to the network. 2. on my 2nd floor the signal is faint thus i need to extend the wireless signal. 3. i have a wap54g (192.168.1.12) that i would like to repeat the signal of the wrt54g. 4. i tried the guide from the website but it was general thus there are some settings (recommended) that are missing. questions: 1. does the 2 wireless ap need to have the same SSID, channel and wep settings? 2. what should be the gateway for the wap54g? 192.168.1.1? 3. when using wifi, would i see 2 access point? or a single 1 and whoever is nearer? 4. does the wrt54g need to be a dhcp server? or the 192.168.1.1 can do that. 5. does my ideal setup be 2 AP and not 1 wireless router/ap and 1 ap? 6. can the wrt54g use wireless distribution mesh? 7. i cannot see my wrt54g from the firware downloads, mine is v7 and there are only v6 and v8? am from asia and this might be an asian version? any help would be appreciated.

    what i did was the following: 1. enable wap54g as a wireless client to look for the main ssid. 2. copy the mac address to the option for wireless repeater. 3. i can now use the wap54g as a repeater. when i shut down everything and turn it on, i cannot again hook up. again, i have to do the steps above for the wap54g to act as a repeater. any idea on what the problem is? i am sure that what i am putting on the mac address is correct. even when i shut down and turn on all router and accesspoints. the connection seems lost.

  • Can WRG54G be a wireless repeater for WRG54GC or vice versa?

    I have a WRG54GC on second floor off cable modem and works wirelessly to 2 PCs. However, I do not have signal on the first floor opposite side of house. I cannot move the access point as that's where the cable modem comes in. Can the other router I have be programmed to act as a wireless repeater? Or vice versa?. If not, does the WRG54G have a longer range than the WRG54GC?

    well..the router only works as an access point..it cannot work as a wireless bridge or wireless repeater ...
    in order to repeat the wireless signal , you can get a wireless range expander ...
