Setting up VLAN's for wireless AP's with two SSID's

I am trying to setup a RV180 and 3 wireless access points. I want the AP's to have 2 ssids that are isolated from each other. IE guest network and main network. I have setup VLAN's and my AP's support 802.1q and have ssid's with matching VID's. I was able to get this to work basically, but things seem to have gotten confusing when I plug the AP's into a POE switch instead of directly into the rv180. At this point I'm not sure exactly waht to ask. Maybe start by providing basic info on how I'm supposed to do this. I was under the impression that since both devices support 802.1q I could configure the VLANs on the router, and tell the AP's to apply a VID to the SSID and thing would work. This isn't the case unfortunately. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Aaron, if you connect a computer to a switch port you making it the untagged member of the desired vlan. The uplink between the router and switch take care of traffic passing.
So for example-
Ap 1 = vlan 1 and 2
Ap 2 = Vlan 3 and 4
Ap 3 = Vlan 5-6
Guest comptuer = vlan 7
Router trunk is vlan 1u, 2-7t (with intervlan routing enable/disable as desired)
Switch trunk is the same 1u, 2-7t
Ap 1 trunk is 1u2t
Ap 2 trunk is 3u, 4t
Ap 3 trunk is 5u 6t
Guest computer is access 7u

How to set up a HP1102w for wireless use with iPad/Iphone etc

Hi,
I purchased the HP P1102w last year and it's certainly not out of the box Airprint compatible, in fact it is very fiddly, but the following takes about 10 minutes using a mac. The besuty of this is it works with my BT homehub also and probably any wireless router including Airport Express and Extreme and no need to have your printer sat near the router or use the USB cable. My iPad3, Wife's iPad2 and both iPhone 4's work beautifully too.
I spent several hours before discovering this solution and eventually sorted all of this out using the following:
Firstly you will need to go to the HP Support site and download the HP Driver Software for OS 10.7 Here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-80684-5 &cc=uk&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=4110396&sw_lang=
Once this has been installed to the HP 1102w using the USB, you then disconnect the printer from the USB and using your MAC connect to it using Network Connections (Click on the Wireless Icon in the task bar). The printer should be listed here under 'devices', (Note this will disconnect you from the internet!!!).
Once you are connected directly and wirelessly to the printer the blue light should stop flashing and remain constantly blue!!!
At this point go and make a cup of tea or leave the printer for about 3 -5 minutes before the next step to allow the printer to initiaite and provide and IP Address.
Next stage is to print a 'Self Test / Device Configuration' sheet from the printer. Do this by holding the red X button until the green light flashes on the printer (About 10 secs), when you release the printer should print a page with two columns on. The right hand column should state an IP Address. (if the printer is 'not connected' or 'initiating' try again in a few minutes. If the IP Address is 0.0.0.0 then the printer is not connected and recheck the blue light is not flashing (it should be permanently lit).
Now you have the IP Address, open safari and type in the IP Address eg.... 192.254.1.87 with no http or www. just the plain IP Address.
This should then open the control pages for the HP Printer Set up. These are green and white web pages.
Go to the Networking Tab (Nearly there, promise).... Click on 'Wireless' on the left hand menu and then in the new page that opens do the following:
Change from 'AdHoc' to 'Infrastructure'
In the next section 'Network Name (SSID)' - the name will be the HP name.... in the available network box select your home network and then press the little box that looks like this -- [<<]..... this should then change the 'current network name (SSID) to your home network (If your network is not listed just use the refresh button).
Last stage is to change the 'Authentification'
Change this to WPA/WPA2 (or other if your router is set otherwise) and in the 'passphrase' box enter the security password for your router and then finally save the changes....
After this all you then need to do is go to settings on your Mac - Printer and Faxes and remove the HP 1102w from the list using the - sign. Then click the + button to add a new printer and hey presto you will find the HP1102w with Bonjour.... simply add and then you can print from your Mac, Ipad and Iphone with no further tinkering....
I really hope this helps and you don't get as stressed as I did....
Happy printing...
Steve
ps. Why couldn't HP just tell you this!!!!!!

Hi pctiger92!
The WRVS4400N is now being handled by the Cisco Small Business Support Community.

I have a Westell 6100G modem. I want to set up Airport Express for wireless. Can someone tell me how to do it step by step. I'm using an HP with Windows Vista. I'm a tech idiot.

Just got Airport Express to save on GBs of data. I have already a Westell 6100G which is for use as Internet Broadband, via Verizon. How do I set up the Airport Express with this Westell. Do I even still need the Westell, or do I need to also buy a wireless router? I'm a tech idiot and this is driving me nuts.

The Westell 6100G is a combination modem and router or gateway device. The AirPort Express is a wireless router.
Since the Express does not have a built-in modem, you will still need your Westell gateway in order to access the Internet.
Which exact model of AirPort Express do you have. It will be written (in very hard to read type on a label on one of the AirPort's sides). It should look something like: A1392. It may also state a Order#. In that case it would look something like: MC414LL/A
Regardless of which model you have, the basic network configuration would be that you would connect an Ethernet cable between the Westell's Ethernet port and the WAN (circle of dots) port on the Express. (Note: If you have an earlier model of the Express, you would connect the cable to the only Ethernet port on the Express.)
The good news is that you will not have to make any configuration changes to the Westell. We should be able to use it as configured.
What we are going to start with is getting a basic Wi-Fi network that should provide your computer with wireless access to the Internet. Once verified as working, we can fine-tune this network to include wireless security and any other goals that you may have.
Ready to start?
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the Westell and computer(s).
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the AirPort Express base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
Once the reset has completed, remove the AirPort Express from power.
Connect an Ethernet cable between the Westell and the AirPort Express.
Power-up the Westell; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

Can I set up Airport Extreme for wireless printiing over Uverse network?

I previously had DSL, and used my Airport Extreme as my wireless router. It was in my home office, so my printer was directly plugged into the Base Station. I recently switched to ATT Uverse, which came with its own wireless router. The new router is in another room, next to the TV. My question is this: Can I set up my old AEBS to function as a wireless printing outpost, like an Airport Express, that would be connected to my office printer but accessed through the ATT network? Thanks.

Welcome to the discussions, Patrick!
Can I set up my old AEBS to function as a wireless printing outpost, like an Airport Express, that would be connected to my office printer but accessed through the ATT network?
In theory, yes. In practice, this is one of those things that you won't know until you try. Since the AEBS will have to "join" your ATT wireless network, the biggest question will be whether or not you can find a matching security setting on the AEBS for the ATT wireless network.
Are you able to get into the setup pages on the ATT router to see exactly what type of security is being used? Ideally, it will be WPA2 Personal, but different manufacturers use different names and flavors for the same thing, so it's rarely as easy as one might hope when you try to get devices from two manufacturers to talk to each other over wireless.

Solution for Poor signal in a wireless WDS network with two Airport Extreme

I have just bought my second Airport Extreme to create a wireless network with the best possible signal. I have one Airport Extreme in my office and the second one (supposedly the remote base) in the living room, two brick walls and 7 meters away. I have follow Apple instructions for the setup, main base "Create a Wifi Network" and Extend network option selected. The remote "join an existent network" and Allow wifi clients selected. According to Apple this is a WDS network between two Airport Extreme.
The network is working and the signal from my iMac is very good in my Office. In the living room the signal with my PC laptop is also very good.
Problem is that my iPod Touch OS 3.0 (I use it as a remote control in my living room with a twonky media server) gets now a very weak wifi signal in my living room, in many cases I lose the wifi sgnal although I sit two meters away from the remote Airport Extreme in the Living Room. If I go to my office with the iPod, then I get a good signal.
I think that only the first Airport Extreme in my Office (Main Base) is emitting a wifi signal and the second Airport Extreme (remote) is only receiving the wifi signal not making a repetition of the wifi signal. (Sorry for my explanation, I am not technical on this.)
I thought that, in a WDS configuration, the remote Airport Extreme WAS suppose to also replicate the wifi signal in my living room.
I have also tried a WDS manual setup with the two airport with the same results.
Is there a solution for this?. Do I have to connect the two Airport Extreme with a wire ethernet in order to be able to have a wifi signal strong enough in my living room for my iPod Touch?.
Thank you for your time.

Thank you Bob for your time.
I understand from your words that with a DHCP reservation I can force de Airport Extreme Main Base to assign an specific IP to a particular client in the network. Is that correct?. If that is the case, I will reserve the 10.0.1.3 to the Twonky Media Server (I need this to be fixed to this IP) and I will change the configuration of the remote Airport Extreme to DHCP automatic.
I will give it a try in a few days. I have spent so many hours with this set up that I am a bit terrified to start again today, to tired from work.
Just one last question. Setting up the remote Airport was very difficult with the Airport Utility. I had to reset and start many times as I always got two errors in the set up:
1.- Internet not connected.
After a minute or so, most of the time the problem was corrected automatically as the remote found the main base that is connected to the internet. I got a confirmation message for this.
2.- Second problem was that Airport Utility said that it could no connect the remote to the specified network. Sometimes (not always) the remote light turn green both in the Airport Extreme and in the Airport Utility, BUT I never got confirmation of a successful installation. Nevertheless, the connection was established because the wifi network exist.
Do I have to "disable the WAN port" during the installation of the remote Airport to avoid the problems?.
Best Regards,
Fernando

Where can I find commands for wireless key board with my Ipad?

how do I find a command list for using my apple wireless key board with my Ipad?

you will have to power off the wireless keyboard...or go into your settings and turn off the bluetooth when you aren't using it.
the default for hte ipad is to only have one keyboard at a time. And if your ipad senses a blue tooth attached, your onscreen one will not be visible.

Can I configure a wireless home network with two cable routers (both with separate connections to the same cable company)? Issue is poor signal strength even with multiple Airport Expresses added to the network.

I have a wireless home network consisting of a time capsule, two airport expresses and a cable modem. Even with this configuration I get a very weak signal in much of be condo - the walls, etc. are solid concrete. I want to see if I can add another separately connected cable modem and connect one of the existing airport express to it by Ethernet cable. If so, this would give me two wired hubs and greatly improve signal strength. I do not know if this configuration will in fact work or if I will just wind up with two, separate and unrelateable networks. Unfortunately, there is no way to run any additional Ethernet cable and I doubt simply adding more Airport Express will help. Thanks.

Try Ethernet over Power adapters.. these are very popular for your kind of environment.. being able to make non-wireless link to another area where you can setup a wireless access point.
Airport Express are not great for wireless power.. if you really have issues with wireless strength in a bad environment apple stuff is not the way to go.
The comparison chart here.
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/router-charts/bar/58-2_4-ghz-dn?see=P_F
This is their worst test location you can also see averages.. the latest airport extreme.. is there a long way down.. and that is a much better wireless device than Airport Express.
The Ubiquiti power AP is small cheap and designed for precisely this duty.. useless in an apple wireless network.. you will need to run ethernet or EOP adapters back to the main router.. but if the normal omni directional antennas don't provide enough signal you can get directional ones.. I suspect you can cover your whole apartment with a pair of these and high gain directional antenna.

FOR ALL ENTRIES IN with two tables

Hi Guy's,
I have two int. tables, gt_likp, gt_lips.
I need to use "FOR ALL ENTRIES IN" with this two tables.
SELECT matnr
         vkorg
         vtweg
         ypcogsl
    FROM mvke
    INTO TABLE gt_mvke
<b>    "FOR ALL ENTRIES IN gt_likp gt_lips"</b>
    WHERE matnr = gwa_liefpos_tab-matnr
    AND vkorg = gt_likp-vkorg
    AND vtweg = gt_lips-vtweg.
How to do this?
Please Help.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Fill gt_likp-vkorg values in a range(r_vkorg). Use gt_lips in FOR ALL ENTRIES.
Basically you can use only 1 internal table with FOR ALL ENTRIES statement.
SELECT matnr
vkorg
vtweg
ypcogsl
FROM mvke
INTO TABLE gt_mvke
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN gt_lips
WHERE matnr = gwa_liefpos_tab-matnr
AND       vkorg in r_vkorg
AND       vtweg = gt_lips-vtweg.

Have to "Set up Bluetooth Device" for wireless trackpad and keyboard almost every day

Almost every day when I turn on my MacBook Air in my home office, my Apple wireless keyboard and trackpad do not automatically reconnect. They used to connect just fine when I was in the viscinity, but now (for the past 6 months or so) I almost always have to:
Bluetooth > Set up Bluetooth Device
Turn off the keyboard (hold down the power button for several seconds)
Turn the keyboard back on (hold down power button for several seconds)
Go through the setup wizard
Repeat for the trackpad
Things that don't work:
Pressing the button on each Bluetooth device
Restarting each Bluetooth device
Turning Bluetooth on and off
Setting the Bluetooth devices as "Favorites"
Selecting the device from the Bluetooth menu item and clicking "Connect"
Rebooting my MacBook Air
Resetting the NVRAM / PRAM
Once the device is connected for the day, I do appear to be able to "Disconnect" and then "Connect" again from the Bluetooth menu item. The devices will also automatically reconnect by pressing a button on them. It just appears to lose the "lease" on them or whatever after a little less than a day.
I'm trying to think of other troubleshooting steps I could take and it just occurred to me that I could try swapping them with the peripherals I use at work (which are possibly newer models, but otherwise identical). Any other suggestions?

Huzzah! Less than 1 week after finally getting fed up and posting this question, I have discovered the root cause - my wife had been inadvertently stealing my keyboard and mouse connection whenever she turned on her laptop! She's using my hand-me-down MacBook Pro which I thought I had reset, but apparently it remembered its Bluetooth connections.
I had suspected something similar since I occasionally used the wireless keyboard with my iPad, but had already ruled that out.
I can't believe I figured this out after 6 months of mild frustration, but just days after posting this question

Setting up Aiport Extreme for wireless hard drive access

I recently bought an Aiport Extreme Base Station, but I am struggling to set it up.
I want to use the Extreme to access my external hard drive (a Western Digital) wirelessly. I also have an Airport Express, which I currently use to extend my wirless network, and to connect to my speakers with AirTunes. My goal is to access and play my music library (contained on my external hard drive) without wiring my macbook to any external devices.
I already have an adequate wireless network in my home (my wireless router is a 2Wire 3800HGV-B, provided by AT&T).
So, I've already tried to set up the Extreme and failed. Rather than describe what I've tried already, let me tell you what I want, ideally:
1. Access my hard drive wirelessly
2. Access the internet and my hard drive at the same time (I assume this means that I need my Extreme to join my existing wireless network rather than create a new network, since i don't think I can be on two wireless networks at once)
3. Keep my Airport Extreme in a separate room from my 2Wire Gateway (this is preferred but not essential -- if they absolutely need to be connected with an ethernet cable for some reason, I can do that)
Can anyone help me through the setup process? In case you haven't noticed, I don't really know what I'm talking about, so step-by-step instructions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

nononoah, Welcome to the discussion area!
The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) will not wirelessly join the wireless network provided by the 2Wire.
You will need to either connect the AEBS to the 2Wire via Ethernet or replace the 2Wire with the AEBS.

Finding the PSK to set up my blackberry for wireless

hi there...i lost my old blackberry and got a new one, and now i need the psk (pre shared key) in order to have wireless access at home on my phone. last time i called linksys tech support they charged me $30 to give me the IP address where i could find my password, which is totally ridiculous. I tried going to 192.168.1.1 and it would not show up. how do i find my psk?

What router are you using?
Point your browser to 192.168.1.1 and login to your router. The user name (for most Linksys routers) should be left blank, and the password is "admin" (with no quotes), unless you changed it. Some older routers have a user name of "admin".
If you cannot get anything at 192.168.1.1 then perhaps this is not your router's address. In Windows, go to "Start" > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
A black DOS box will appear. Type in "ipconfig" (with no quotes), then hit the Enter key. Look at the "Default Gateway". Is it 192.168.1.1 ? Point your browser to the "Default Gateway", then login to your router.
After you have logged into your router, go to the "Security" tab (sometimes the "Wireless" tab) and look for your encryption method (WEP, WPA, WPA2). Nearby you will see the "key" or "pre-shared key". This is what you need to enter into your blackberry.
For WEP, enter WEP "key 1" (found in the router) into your blackberry, not the WEP password or passphrase.
For WPA or WPA2, enter the "key" (sometimes called the password or passphrase) into your blackberry.

Setting up a printer for wireless

Hi guys, I'm a newbie to the Mac system and just about to take ownership of my very first one. I'm pretty good when it comes to the Windows aspect of computing so not a novice by any means but would really appreciate some info regarding using my HP 5280 printer but converting it to wireless. It just boils down to the best way, if possible to accomplish this and what I might need. ANY help you can give would put me on the right road to what I hope is a fruitful Mac relationship.

The C5280 does not have wi-fi built in, only a USB connection. You could connect it to an Airport Extreme's USB connection and that would make it a wireless printer HOWEVER if you want wireless scanning and/or copying you are out of luck. That is the bad news.
The good news is you could replace it with a true wireless HP Printer for as little as $129 USD which has wi-fi built in (as well as a USB connection) meaning you could connect with any wireless router and have a wireless printer, scanner and copier. If you already have a wireless router this would be less expensive than getting an AE and also provide a more elegant solution.

How many minimum VLANS required for wireless

Can management, ap-manager, dynamic interface(user defined) and LWAP are in the samesubnet.if not how many required.
Just correct me if am not wrong, 1.management, ap-manager and LWAP can be in a single subnet
user defined interfaces can be in a different subnet, so totally two subnets.
2.management, ap-manager can be in one subnet, LWAP in another subnet and dynamic interfaces in different subnet so tatally three subnets.

if you mean with lawpp the ap's then your statements are correct
