WAG120n as a wireless client

Hello,
I have 802.11n wireless network at home. Unfortunately my TV box requires internet to work and it doesn't have wifi card installed (only ethernet port). It's very unconfortable to connect tv box with the router through cable.
So is it possible to use WAG120N as a wireless client for my existing wifi network and connect tv box through cable with WAG120N? In that case WAG120N would be some kind of wireless network adapter for my TV box.
Best.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The access point on the WAG120N is a transmitter, not a receiver. Hence, this setup will not work. This gateway can be configured as wireless access point but not a wireless ethernet bridge which is what you will need. You can get one of the following devices to connect your tv (via ethernet) to your wireless network:
Dual Band N Ethernet Bridge (WET610N)
Wireless N Universal Media Connector (WES610N)

  • Can I use ASA to be a DHCP Server use in WLC wireless Client

    I want to use ASA to be a DHCP Server for Wireless Client not it can't.
    I check the debug log in WLC, I confirm the WLC have send the request to ASA.
    In the ASA, it don't have any hits in the rule when the WLC send the DHCP relay request.
    I have try don't use dhcp relay in WLC but don't success. Anybody have the same case with me? And Is the ASA can't support DHCP relay agent to request to get the IP Addr.
    P.S. In the Network Design limitation so I can't use WLC to be DHCP Server.
    Equipment:
    ASA5510
    WLC4402
    How can I fix it.
    Thank you very much

    The issue is that the ASA doesn't accept DHCP requests from a relay agent, only broadcast DHCP requests. In the 4.2 version for the controllers there is now an option so you can change the way the controller forwards DHCP requests so that it is sent as a broadcast and not from a relay agent.

  • Some wireless clients can't discover or connection to local wired systems

    Hi,
    I've just upgraded my home wireless from an NetComm NB5540 + modem to a LinkSys X3000.
    Internet access works fine for all devices, but some wireless devices can't "see" my Win7 desktop system that's on a wired connections to the router. 
    I've tried three devices...
    Galaxy Note phone (running ICS 4.0.4) can discover and connect to file shares on my desktop system without any problems.
    Asus Transformer Prime tablet (running JellyBean 4.1.1) can see the router on the local network, but can't see my desktop. Even if I manually type in the IP address it can't connect to it
    Likewise my old WinXP laptop can see the router but can't see or connect to any other devices.
    Any suggestions welcome.
    Hugh
    ps. I tried connecting the NetComm router with just Wifi configured to one of the ethernet ports on the X3000, so I've got two Wifi networks running in parallel. If I connect to this second WiFi network with any of the above devices then they can all discover and connect to my desktop system on the wired connection to  the X3000.

    Just to test network connectivity, why don't you ping the wired client from the wireless devices that are not able access it? Do post your results so we can further analyze this scenario. By the way, when you cascaded another access point (using the NetComm router) to the X3000, was it via LAN- LAN? Was the X3000 still the DHCP server for the wireless clients?

  • Unable to set up base station as wireless client

    I have a network with one Airport Extreme (UFO-shape) and three Airport Express base stations. Now I had to do a hard reset of all the base stations, and want to use Airport utility to set up the network again.
    I have no problems setting up the Airport extreme as the main base station, and the first Airport express as a remote base station (extending the network). I want to set up the other two Airport Express stations as wireless clients (I only use them for iTunes via Airtunes).
    My problem is that when I reach the point where I can choose between setting them up to either extend the network or as a wireless client, I am not able to proceed if I choose the latter (nothing happens when I press "continue"). I can only go through the setup process if I choose the Airport Express to be an extension of the network (a remote base station).
    For one of the Airport express, I then later manually changed the setup from "be a part of a WDS network" to "connect to a wireless network". But when I try this for the last Airport Express, I am no longer able to contact the base station if I try to do the same. I have chosen channel 11 for the network, and I think in some way or another, after I manually change the settings for the last Airport express, it switches to another channel. After this I can no longer read the base station configuration or connect to it via airtunes.
    When I do a hard reset again, and go through the process once more, everything is OK as long as I keep it as a remote base station. But I really would like it to be connected as a wireless client
    Any ideas?

    The basic wiring setup would include connecting an Ethernet cable from one of the available LAN <-> Ethernet ports to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
    You can run an Ethernet cable up to 100 meters or 300+ feet so the trick will be locate the Time Capsule in the middle of the area where you need more wireless signal coverage.
    To have the Time Capsule "extend" the wireless from the gateway, you would need to configure it to create a new wireless network using the same wireless network name, same wireless security setting and same password as the gateway's wireless network.
    The final configuration step would be to make sure that the Time Capsule is setup to operate in Bridge Mode, so that it will function as a client for the gateway router.
    The specifics of how to do this will depend on the version of AirPort Utility that you are using on your Mac. Post back if you need more details on this.

  • -1 (Minus One) Wireless Client Rate for networked PCs with Ariport Express

    Trying to figure out connection problems...
    Under Airport Utility > Advanced > Logs and Statistics > Wireless Clients...
    My MBP gets a Rate 54Mbps when I am beside it in my room, but sometimes drops down to 11 or so and then goes back up. I think this is why I am losing my AirTunes connection.
    Both PCs on the network are farther away but are showing a Rate of -1Mbps, even when they are brought into the same room as the APX.
    Any thoughts.

    1. How does the client device know which Airport to connect to?
    The Mac computer will automatically connect to the wireless access point with the strongest signal...which is probably the closest AirPort. An iPhone or iPad may not do this and will tend to stay connected to one AirPort.
    2. How can I tell which of the Airports the attached client device is using?
    On a Mac, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility. Click on one of AirPorts. In the area to the right, locate the AirPort ID and jot that down. Then do the same for your other AirPort.
    Move your Mac near one of the AirPorts and log on to the wireless. Hold down the option key on the Mac while you click the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen. Look for the BSSID. That is the AirPort ID of the device to which you are connected.
    If you are close to the "remote" AirPort, and you see the AIrPort ID of the "main" router when you are testing, then you know that the network is not configured correctly.
    Can I use this second Airport Express to extend the wireless network via "Extended Wireless Network" while the other two are in "Roaming Netowrk" configuration? Without bogging down??
    There will be a modest 10-15% bandwidth loss with the "extend" setup, assuming that the Express is located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from the AirPort to which it is associated. You can avoid the bandwidth loss if the Express is also connected via Ethernet as part of the roaming configuration.

  • Bridge does not work for wireless clients - connecting to existing network.

    Hi - I really hope somebody can help out here, after hours of trial & error, I have finally given up
    I need to connect my Airport Extreme Base Station to my existing network. I have a linksys router (192.168.15.1) connected to my modem and this linksys router acts as DHCP server too.
    I suppose I have to use "bridge mode" for that to work. But should the linksys be connected to the AEBS using the AEBS's WAN or LAN port?
    If I use "bridge mode", then wired computers to the AEBS works fine - getting an IP from the linksys etc. BUT, the wireless clients will have a self-assigned IP and not get through to the internet. It's like the AEBS will not allow wireless clients to "get through" unless AEBS itself is handing out IP addresses.
    Page 36 of this manual ( http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/DesigningAirPort_Networks10.5-Windows.pdf ) shows the setup I want. But in the picture, it says "Ethernet WAN port" but the text says: "The Apple wireless device (in this example, a Time Capsule) uses your Ethernet network to communicate with the Internet through the Ethernet LAN port ( <--> )." I don't know which one to use, WAN or LAN - they show WAN but say LAN?
    When I set it up as "share an IP address", the AEBS status tells me "double nat" and to change from "shared IP" to "bridge mode". I do that, and everything seems fine - for the wired clients. Now the wireless clients cannot connect, Airport on the MacBook Pro just say "Connection failed" and the MacBook says "Invalid password" (translated from danish), even though I set the Airport Utlity to save the password in keyring, so it should be correct... If I disable wireless encryption, the wireless clients will connect but get a self-assigned IP, and therefor not work (cannot get online)...
    It seems the only way I can get wireless to work, is if I set AEBS up as DHCP, but then it won't be on the "same network" as the linksys (192.168.15.1), but rather on 10.0.x.x as I select. If I select 192.168.x.x within AEBS, I'm also getting some error messages, conflict/subnet thing.
    Anyway - I really hope somebody knows how to get wireless clients to get an IP address from existing ethernet when connected to the AEBS.
    Thanks!!

    I've given up and had to go back to running "Double NAT" which also reports as a "problem" within the AEBS, but I just "ignore" it so the light will always be green.
    It still ***** though, as "Double NAT" is also a reason for "Back to my Mac" not working properly, but how the ** am I supposed to avoid Double NAT when the wireless will not work in bridged mode?!

  • I cannot get my Airport Express to accept wireless clients.

    I cannot get my Airport Express to accept wireless clients. After resetting to factory default and reconfiguring, it works briefly but then stops again.
    The Airport Express is on the second floor of my house and is seen by Airport Utility. Using a LAN cable with the Express works no problem.
    My network is created by an Airport Extreme (ground floor) and extended by a Time Capsule (first floor)
    Have run through all settings repeatedly and as I said I can get it to work briefly by resetting and then reconfiguring, but after a short while again my iOS devices can no longer connect and revert to cellular.

    My network is created by an Airport Extreme (ground floor) and extended by a Time Capsule (first floor)
    The issue is most likely due to the fact that the AirPort Express may be too far from the AirPort Extreme to properly extend it with enough bandwidth to be useful.
    It is important to understand that with Apple 802.11n or 802.11ac base station an extended network works in a wheel-like fashion with the base station to be extended at the hub and each extending base station along one of the spokes. This type of configuration does not allow for daisy chaining the base stations. That is, in your case, both the Time Capsule and AirPort Express are attempting to extend the AirPort Extreme.
    Each extending base station must be within a certain signal quality range in order to extend the network properly. Please check out the following AirPort User tip for details.

  • Wireless clients unable to access internet on new WRT54G - Help!

    I have multiple wireless clients that cannot access the internet. They all get valid IP addressing. I can ping the router. But I can't access anything on the internet. I just setup this router and I do this sort of stuff for a living and I give up. It shouldn't be this difficult. Two of the clients are Vista and the other is XP. Again, the connection to the router is perfect. I just can't access anything beyond the router. The single wired client works fine. Help!

    Thanks... I've tried that. All of these hosts were actually working just fine with my old DLink router, but that router died over the weekend, so I replaced it with the Linksys. For the life of me, I can't see any reason why these hosts can't route out to the internet.

  • 2504 controller + 2602 APs = wireless clients connectivity problems

    Hello, everybody!
    I have a connectivity problems of wireless clients. The symptoms are:
    1) Some clients receive 169.254.x.x., instead a correct DHCP addresses, less in a minute connection drops, and in controller's "Monitor" > "Clients" tab these clients are marked as "Excluded".
    2) Most of the clients receive the correct addresses from DHCP (192.168.2.x), but also loose connection soon.
    3) Wireless clients with correct addresses can't ping each other, gateway and an address of the controller's dynamic interface (all of them are in same subnet).
    4) And the most suspicious problem is that some machines are unable to connect to APs after several attemps to do that. I mean, I configure controller and change some options, trying to understand, whether they were applied or not and constantly connect and disconnet certain PC to the SSID. After five or ten attempts I can't connect to the SSID. During these attempts, the others PCs stay connected, without interruptions, and they could be reconnected again. It's like some kind of port security works, but I'm not sure...
    Do you have any ideas which options should I configure?
    My configuration:
    I have three interfaces on the controller: virtual, management (default) and dynamic (it is set to the WLAN)
    I have one SSID, WPA/WPA2, AES/TKIP, authentication PSK.
    My clients are a/b/g/n, all are permitted on the controller. No custom security policies were applied.
    All the devices are in a single room: controller, one AP and different clients: desktop, notebooks, iPad, Nokia Lumia, etc.
    I have an internal DHCP Server on the controller and it works perfectly well.
    I can provide all the screenshots required from web-interface of the controller...
    Many thanks in advance for all ideas that you have about these problems...

    Hi, there!
    The problem was solved.
    1) APIPA address receives only single machine with Win8 - I think there are some firewall issues
    2) Other devices have been loosing connection because they were mobile devices, like iPad and Lumia. If you keep working with it, it doesn't drop the connection
    3) The dynamic interface address and gateway address were inaccessible because i had not used an appropriate port on the controller. =)))) Firstly, it was just a guess, but it proved.
    Now, everything works with WPA2, AES, PSK...
    It is a very good day!)
    The only question remains: why I can't connect machines, which have a static IP? During the controller initialization, I said "yes" for permitting static IPs...
    Guys, many thanks for your help!

  • How can I set a second Airport Extreme to not allow wireless clients?

    I have two Airport Extremes. One is the main, and one is a remote unit used to extend my wireless network. I only want the remote Extreme to be able to use the LAN ports via ethernet to provide connectivity to my home theater gear. I don't want it to allow wireless clients, even though the two Extremes are wirelessly linked. Is this possible? I know it is on the Express, and I'd like to do that here. Thanks.

    A simple solution might be.......
    Use AirPort Utility 5.6 or earlier and click the Manual Setup option on the extending Extreme.
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Wireless Mode should be set to "Extend a wireless network"
    Remove the check mark next to "Allow wireless clients"

  • How to modify Time Capsule wireless clients?

    I have a Time Capsule that I use as the router for the house. We've had a lot of computers connected to it over the years. What I am wanting to know if it is possible to remove wireless clients that are connected or previously connected. Under Finder there is an HP computer that is connected but to my knowledge there is no Windows based computer using the network. At one point there was an old HP laptop connected to it. But for the life of me I can not find anything or figure out how to remove this computer from showing up under the Finder. I am confident that the problem resides at the router because I can see that same device connected.

    Under Finder there is an HP computer that is connected but to my knowledge there is no Windows based computer using the network.
    Maybe you have an HP printer that is connected either by wireless or Ethernet?
    Does the HP device show up in the list of current wireless clients? If not, then the HP device is connected via Ethernet to your network.
    What I am wanting to know if it is possible to remove wireless clients that are connected or previously connected.
    If a wireless device is already connected to the network, the only way that you can remove it is to change the wireless network password, or set up Timed Access on that device..
    Chaging the password will disconnect all connected devices, then you will have to log on again from each device that you want to connect.

  • Airport or Macsense Aerolite 54G USB Wireless Client Adaptor?

    I gave my iMac G5 which is now 4 years old - to my daughter. It does not have iSight/ Bluetooth and Airport were optional at the time and although I did get Bluetooth I didn't get Airport. i am wondering if I can now add Airport to it and what I would need to buy. I m not sure about the different types of Airport. Can anyone give me advice?
    I have spotted what looks like a super device that might do the trick and allow her to be wireless without having an Airport card - what do you think of this device? Good or what!? Would it work?

    ...i am wondering if I can now add Airport to it and what I would need to buy. I m not sure about the different types of Airport. Can anyone give me advice?
    You simply need to buy and install an AirPort Extreme card. Apple still makes and sells these cards. Once the card is installed, the iMac G5 will be able to connect to any 802.11b/g compatible wireless networks.
    The best solution is the AirPort Extreme card.

  • How do I add a wireless client in Airport Utility V. 6.0?  Option missing?

    I am trying to add a wireless client to my Airport Extreme base station, version 6.0.  In previous versions, there was an option under "Base Station" to add a wireless client, but that seems to have been taken away.  First, why, when it seemed to be the perfect place for it?  Second, where was it moved?  I need to re-add my bridge after a power failure and it is SO frustrating!!

    Suggest that you download and install the more functional AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion , which was available on the same day as AirPort Utility 6.0. It seems that a number of users have missed this.
    You can keep both 5.6 and 6.0 on your Mac and use the one that you want. But, since 6.0 is now part of the Lion operating system, you cannot delete this application.

  • Remote Control Wireless Client ?

    We're running Cisco LEAP enabled wireless clients on NT. Our Helpdesk would like to remote control these machines. Problem is: The HelpDesk administrators need Administrator privileges. They need to log in as themselves...remotely.
    When they do a "close all programs & log in as different user" , of course the remote control session is lost & can't be reestablished till the client is LEAP authenticated, which can't happen till the remote user is logged in.....Catch 22.
    Any ideas for a solution would be greatly appreciated !

    Jeff - I've been working with a company that has created an app that gets around that problem - even through firewall connections - plus the Help Desk can use any client with a browser, which means that support OF and FROM mobile devices will finally work.
    Of course the best way to see an app like that is an on-line demo so you can take over yourself.

  • Bridge Mode and Wireless Clients

    I have my network up and running fine, but I am now thinking I may need to tweak it a bit. I have an AEBS(n) and an Airport Express both set up with WDS. The Extreme is the base station and the Express is set in WDS Remote and in Bridge mode under the internet tab. The Express is hooked up via a wired ethernet connection to my PS3. Everything works.
    I am wondering if in bridge mode, the express accepts wireless clients as well as providing net access to my PS3 over the ethernet cable. Both the extreme and express stations are close enough together that I am not sure which one I am connecting to when I use my laptop wifi.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
