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...

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.

Domain user authentication for 3650 Wireless Access point

Dear All,
I have got new proposal inorder to configure the wireless access points by managing with the 3650 wireless controller.
We wanted to block the Wifi Access to mobile users.
Only domain users need to be authenticate to the corporate wireless access.
We have 3650 switch as a wireless controller and ISE in place. Kindly guide me the achieve the same. Attached the setup diagram.
If possible share the sample configuration and it would be helpful.

Please refer

Anyone know how to set up mac as a wireless access point?

thats pretty much my question, i wanna access the internet on my nintendo DS and Wii

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Although I'm not familiar with the Nintendo DS you can use the iMac as a Wireless Access Point by going Apple Menu > System Preferences > Sharing > and selecting Share Connection from: popup menu: however you connect and the choose Airport to share to.

Setting up webauth for guest wireless access

Hi there,
I'm trying to set up guest wireless access. having no experience with this at all, I'm beginning to struggle.
Equipment:
2x 3850 stacked and acting as one switch running 03.06.00E
4x 1602E AP's registered to the WLC running on the 3850
The infrastructure is sound and corporate wireless access works ok.
I need a config that allows a guest user to connect to the guest SSID, DHCP an address, then when they open a browser, they are automatically redirected to a splash screen for them to log on. Once they log on with the supplied username and password they are then forwarded to whatever site it is they wish to go to; So far my config looks like this (removed unnecessary parts for brevity);

I carried out a wireshark trace and can see the dhcp ok, then see DNS queries to the DNS name serever and the replies, followed by a TCP SYN to the resolved IP of the website requested - but that's it, there is no SYN ACK reply or redirect to the login page which i have placed on the flash and specified under 'custom-page login'
I am under the impression that the way this should work is as follows;
1. Client connects to SSID and carries out DHCP DORA and is assigned an IP address
2. open browser on client and carry out name resolution
3. once name is resolved, carry TCP three way handshake with requested site (e.g. google)
4. once three way handshake is completed client carries out an HTTP GET request
5. WLC holds the response and redirects to the login page
6. on successful login, original requested page is forwarded to client.
I can't seem to get a response - even if I remove the ACL.
Am i heading in the right direction or am I trying to achieve something which is not possible with my setup?
Cheers

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.
Regards,
Christopher Koeber

I am using a third party DHCP server which is our Windows Domain Controller. I have the ip helper-address set for the native vlan of the Access Point through a layer 3 distribution switch (a Catalyst 4506) that the current switch connects to.
I didn't see any event on the logs for the AP.
Let me know if I need to do something else.
Thanks.

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.

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.

How do i set up a wireless access point with ny time capsule

I am using a new Airport Extreme and want to utilize my older TC to create a wireless access point or maybe an aditional router using the same newtwork. What are the steps to set this up?
Thanks
Alamo

You will first need to perform a Factory Default Reset on the Time Capsule.
Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ
Then, temporarily locate it in close proximity (same room or nearby) to the AirPort Extreme.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click the tab in the upper left hand corner of the AirPort Utility window that reads Other AirPort Base Stations (1), then click the Time Capsule
AirPort Utility will take a moment or two to analyze your network, then announce that the TC will be configured to extend your wireless network.
Enter a name for the TC (you can use the same device name that you used before if you wish) and click Next.
AirPort Utility will take a another minute or two to configure the TC and then tell you that the setup is complete. Click Done
At this point, power down the TC and move it to a location that is approximately half the distance from the AirPort Extreme and the area that needs more wireless coverage.....to give the TC a good strong signal to "extend"
Power up the TC and wait for the green light and then you are all set.

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.

Need some advice for AP IOS upgrade (Wireless Access Point 3702 Series) ?

Hi to all
I recently purchase a Wireless Access Point (AIRCAP 3702E-E) with 4 antenna, i will use this device like wifi hotspot in my home.
I would like to upgrade it but i see two kind of AP IOS :
Lightweight AP IOS Software
Autonomous AP IOS
What are the difference ?
In case of Lightweight AP IOS Software will be the one to choose, i have multiple IOS :
Wireless Lan, ap3g2-k9w8-tar.152-4.JB4.tar
Wireless Lan Recovery, ap3g2-rcvk9w8-tar.152-4.JB4.tar
Someone can tell me what is the difference between these two versions ?
Best Regards.
Elrick.

Hi Elrick,
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,
Moh

Proxy Setting for Multiple WiFi Access Points

I'm getting ready to roll out 30 iPads in a school setting. They are going to be on a cart that teachers will be able to check out for class use, but will be returned to the computer lab each evening. This creates a problem.
Throughout the building, we have several WiFi access points - next year we will have an access point in each classroom. And of course we connect through a proxy server so that the district can block various wbsites. As I am setting up my iPad to connect to each access point, I have to set the proxy server address for the access point; I would really like to be able to simply say "This is my proxy server address and port for EVERY WiFi access point in the building." and be done with it. I haven't been able to find a way to do this -- it looks like I have to configure each access point individually.
Am I just missing something (I hope)?

I suspect you have the D-Link set up to make its network an entirely new subnet using NAT.
If you setup the D-Link as a bridge to the network created by the Extreme, things may work properly.
You may need to refer to the D-Link documentation to find out the proper way to do this.

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.

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.

Apple TV 2G (Airplay and Homesharing) can only stream from devices on the same wireless access point range??

connection:
40 Mbps Fiber Broadband connection using:
Devices:
1. Main Modem/router (AP1): Huawei HG8245 (provided by ISP) - Wireless enabled.
2. Remote Access point (AP2): Linksys/Cisco E3200 Wireless gigabyte router flashed with DD-WRT v24-sp2 (06/14/11) mini (Cascaded -wired- LAN to LAN from main modem).
3. Wireless Repeater to cover a dead spot (AP3): Linksys/Cisco E1000 wireless repeater.
4. Apple Tv (AT2G) with home sharing/airplay enabled.
5.( Ipad) with home sharing on itunes enabled.
6. Win7 (PC) using iTunes with Home sharing enabled.
all devices are updated to their latest firmware.
In order to cover a large 3 story house with Wifi. I had (AP1) is located on the first floor, while (AP2) is located in the basement floor directly wired by LAN to LAN with (AP1). (AP3) is located on the Ground floor away from the living room to repeat wireless network into the back yard. While (AT2G) is located in the living room on the ground floor right in the middle of both (AP1) + (AP2) while connected via Wifi.
Network SSID, security, passphrase and wireless settings of (AP2) are identical to (AP1) to create a single big LAN/WLAN roaming network where all devices connected to both wireless access points can find/share the others. As understood, it's refered to as bridging.
I have noticed that my iphone/ipad does not show the airplay button anywhere within the wireless network. it seems that the apple TV randomly choses to connect to the AP with stronger signal, or switch to the other in case of a reboot to one of them.
to elaborate further, if i was sitting in the living room (groundfloor), trying to airplay some you tube contents via Wifi to my Apple TV, i may not find the airplay button available all the time, i found out the reason is while i'm wirelessly connected to AP1, the Apple TV was connected to AP2 and both deviced cannot detect each others to enable my purpose. that goes the same for Home Sharing. only if my Ipad/PC and Apple Tv are on the same wireless AP. they would detect each others immediately.
although, the second AP (AP2) is suppose to extend my wireless network of the same subnet in which any device connected can be found.
After all sorts of trial and error tweaking my router/access point, I thought the problem would be due to the Linksys 3200 capability of bridging WLAN and lacks few protocols that enables my purpose. i have flashed the firmware to a DD-WRT, but again, problem was not solved.
I have not tried having my Apple Tv wired to either router/AP, but i assume it may work well if i do so. i still need to solve this wireless connection issue though.
Am i the only one with this problem, would there be something wrong with my setup?
Your feedback is highly appreciated.

You may or may not already have your network set up correctly, it's just that I can't tell from what you have said.
I have a main router provided by my ISP, I have several other Airport Extremes and Airport expresses connected by Ethernet, all set up to bridge the network created by the main router.
Each maker has their own settings, but bridging should be reasonably obvious. In simple terms my main router distributes IP addresses to all devices, the Airports bridge that network by passing these addresses to the devices from the main router. A base station that isn't in bridging mode will distribute its own addresses to the devices connected to it.
I don't really follow your next point.
instruction for configuration vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, the best course of action here is to refer to the manual. If everything is set up properly the addresses of everything on your network will have identical sets of numbers for the first 3 of 4 groups of numbers that make up an address, the last set must always be different. I think the part you are referring to with your DD-WRT is the option to have Ethernet and wifi bridged or not.
Some routers may be easier to configure than others, but generally speaking they should all work with the Apple TV. 5Ghz is less likely to suffer interference but it is much more likely to be blocked by solid objects, it may or may not be an advantage.
