WAN Connection

I want to connect my Dish Network receiver to my network which requires a WAN connection. I have these 3 unused LAN connections in the back of my Airport Extreme. Is there a way to connect a device requiring the WAN connection into a LAN port?
Thanks!

Welcome to the discussions!
Normally, the WAN port is used on a router for the connection to a modem so that a network will have internet access. If you unplug your modem from the WAN port, you will no longer have access to the internet.
Check the documentation again. I can't speak for Dish, but DirectTV specifies that you need to connect to a LAN port to gain advanced features for downloading movies. Same for DVD players.
Try connecting to one of the LAN ports from your Dish receiver. Be sure to completely power down the Dish receiver by pulling the plug from the wall (the on/off switch will only put it in standby) and then restart it to connect. You will probably have to follow an on screen menu process to make this connection.

Airport Extreme(SW) keeps dropping the WAN connection under "heavy" load

Hey,
Have had this problem ever since I got the Airport Extreme when it first came out and I got it.
The problem is this : The connection will work just fine for ages, but if I end up downloading something using (primarily this is the problem) torrents and I end up getting a rather good speed on it the airport will all of the sudden stop getting data from the WAN(ADSL modem connected to it through the WAN connection) and the Airport will have to be restarted. Some days it will have to be restarted up towards 15 times a day.
The Airport remains accessible through the LAN connection, as well as through the WiFi when it has failed like this so I can go in through the Airport Admin Utility and restart the unit without any problems whatsoever. The modem does not need restart or reiniting either.
The problem occurs no matter of if I am on the hard wired (LAN) connection or the WiFi connection. If I download something using a torrent that is high speed, especially if its more then one torrent at the same time (say 4 torrents each running at 200-300kbps therefor peaking at the roof of what my DSL connection can handle) then it will absolutely lock up after a minute or so. If I only do surfing or 'ordinary' work then there is no problem.
The problem is easily repeated.
* If I connect my laptop by wire to the modem directly without the airport in between there will be no problem.
* I have software reseted the Airport many times to attempt to fix the problem when it has gotten on my nerves with no positive or changing result.
* I have the latest available from Apple firmware(5.6) installed on the Airport.
* I have no 'weird' or abnormal settings set on the Airport, and no neighbors playing tricks on me - This problem was with me when I used the airport fully locked down in a office environment and then went with it when I moved my airport unit out of my office in to my home.
* I have no other wifi units in the house that may cause problems, no bluetooth phones running amok.
Airport details:
Apple Airport Extreme Base Station
Firmware Version: 5.6
Wireless Security : Not currently enabled
Wireless Channel : 1 (automatic)
Built in modem : No
Prod # : M8930LL/A (A-1034)

Hi guys,
Recently I bought AirPort Extreme 802.11n Base Station (Gigabit, MB053LL/A), and
seems, I have very similar problem with yours. Internet connection from my ISP over WAN is dropped after few hours of being idle. The router successfully receives its IP settings from provider's DHCP, eveyithing is working fine at first and as long as I have some inet activity. Then I disconnect, or sleep my laptops, and when I'm back - WAN provides no Internet traffic at all It looks like WAN is not functioning or blocked in someway. AirPort Utility and logs show no problems, all statuses are good, correct WAN IP settings are shown in the utility.
Sometimes it helps to plug-out/in Ethernet cable to WAN port, but more often only full router restart helps (with around 10-20 secs of outage). BTW, WiFi connection between the router and laptops is pretty stable and causes absolutely no probs. HDD connected to the router works good also.
My firmware is 7.2.1 (gigabit), and reading above posts I tried to downgrade to 7.2. It didn't fix the problem So well there are no earlier firmware versions for this AEBS model to try.
Does anybody have ideas about it?
(I understand you guys mostly wrote about 100Mbit version of AEBS)
Thanks you,

NEED HELP PLEASE Setting up 2 VLANS and a redundant WAN connection

I have a remote branch office which is actually a huge bar/lounge. The bar wants to enable patrons to access the Internet with their wireless laptops. I want to prevent those patrons from accessing our private network, and also prevent them from traversing our static VPN tunnel back to HQ.
The bar processes all credit cards via the T1 connection, and this has caused us to lose money every time the T1 goes down while we're open, since there is no WAN redundancy right now.
Here is my current hardware configuration:
1) one PIX 501 50-user 3des.
2.) two Dell 3024
3.) one Aironet 1100(g) AP.
Current LAN Network: 10.35.35.0
(internal employees only, static VPN tunneled to remote HQ network)
Current Wireless SSID's:
SSID1=PRIVATESSID
SSID2=PUBLICSSID (not currently in use, waiting to figure this out)
Current WAN: one T1 connection.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO AND NEED HELP FIGURING OUT:
#1a) I want to create two separate VLAN's that are able to share the WAN connection, but not be able to "see" each other.
#1b) These VLAN's would be mapped to their respective SSID's on the AP (PRIVATESSID>10.35.35.0 and PUBLICSSID>192.168.1.0).
#1c) The 192.168.1.0 network should not be able to traverse the static tunnel between the branch site and HQ.
#2) I would like to install a backup WAN connection such as a modem 56k dial-up to an ISP or a cable modem to an ISP. In case the primary T1 goes down, I would like the router to automatically dial out over the modem conection and route all Internet bound traffic over that backup WAN connection, until the primary comes back online.
Question 1:
I'm assuming I need a router to do the intervlan routing. Could this router also do the on-demand WAN backup dialing to an ISP via analog modem?
What IOS version and flavor (IP base, IP+, etc.) would I need? What is the cheapest router I can do all that with (i.e. 2620/2621/1720/3600 series)? What WIC's or NM's would I need?
Question Two:
I would like to prioritize PRIVATESSID's traffic over PUBLICSSID's traffic, which I know I can do on the access point. Can I do this on the router so that any 10.35.35.0 traffic takes priority over any 192.168.1.0 traffic?
Question Three
If the primary T1 WAN connection goes down, I don't want the router to re-route the 192.168.1.0 traffic over the backup 56k dial-up WAN connection. That traffic can wait until the T1 comes back up.
Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated.

Assuming your access points can place SSID into separate vlans and support 802.1q trunks then I can attempt to answer your questions. There are seperate secuity issues with both SSID for protection and VLANs for seperation but in your case in may be minimal.
q1
Any cisco router that will run 802.1q trunking will work. Since you are looking at older routers you will need IP+ to get it. Even 2610's will support 802.1q on their 10m ethernet at the correct code level but 10m and 802.1q is sorta nonstandard. Since your backup is only 56k you can use the internal modem port as a dial backup. A wic-2a/s will also work if you prefer not to use the modem port. You will need some wic to run your t1 line. If you are planning to leave the t1 on another router it makes the next 2 questions much harder.
q2
This is fairly simple and depends on your ios level. "priority queing" is supported on even the older software. I assume you do not control the far end of the t1 line since it sounds as if this goes to a ISP.
You will need to have them do the QoS since most issues with the internet are inbound and not outbound. You can only control outbound traffic.
q3
If the T1 is on the same router then this is fairly simple. You can just put a floating static default route in that will cause the dialer to come up if the the t1 goes down. There is no easy way to protect against the line being up but no traffic passing. This is also why it would be best to have the t1 on the same router. If its not you will need to get very creative to solve this. You could build a GRE tunnel to a remote location and montior the tunnel or run a routing protcol over the tunnel. In the newest software you could use SAA and policy routing to force the traffic over the dialer but the router must support ios 12.4.
3a. You mentioned a cable modem as a backup. That can be much easier sometimes since it is all routing and no dialer interfaces with nasty modem issues. This does not make the issue of the t1 not on the same router easier.

RV016 with 3 WAN Connections - Windows Messenger Intermittent problems.

I have a RV016 Router with 3 internet DSL conections.
Firmware version : 3.0.0.1-tm (Jun 6 2008 20:17:06)
LAN IP : 192.168.11.254 /24
WAN1 IP : 192.168.1.253 /24
WAN2 IP : 192.168.2.253 /24
WAN3 IP : 192.168.3.253 /24
MODE: Gateway.
Windows Messenger continually connects and disconnects. This behavior is permanent
I only have problems with Messengers (all releases), web page access is correct.
I check bandwith saturation and It's ok, I use less than 50% of each DSL.
I configured the correct size of MTU for each DSL and the problem continues.
Is there any way to set priority to this service?
Is there any way to check if the "load balance mode" affect this kind of connections?
I appreciate any idea.

Changing the DSL connections to bridge mode is part one of the solution. When they weren't in bridge mode, they were also acting as gateways/routers, probably also doing NAT.
Now that they are in bridge mode, the rv016 has control of the connections and the routing. Now that it has control, you can make the appropriate changes.
I ran into a similar issue as yours when I had an rv082 at one of my businesses. I had to access the state's web site to file sales taxes online. But their system detected when my router used a different WAN connection than the one I logged in on, so it would kick me off each time the router used both WAN connections. I could enable only one WAN connection each time I used their system (which would also work in your case with messenger), but that wasn't a real solution.
For you the solution will be a port trigger range. (For me the solution was to bind that destination site to a WAN connection.) Go to Setup-->Forwarding in the rv016 web management. You will see a section for port triggering at the bottom. Here's a link to a site that goes more into detail on the ports that need to have triggers on them:
http://www.electrictoolbox.com/article/networking/open-firewall-msn-icq/
I don't have messenger setup, so I don't know the ports off-hand. This setup should allow any system connected (just as they are now) to properly use messenger.
Let me know if you need any more help.

Grrrrr.....makes me miss my stupid PC set up as I could force it to do what I want!
Intermittent connection screws up Netflix, VOIP phone, Amazon, Streaming music via Spotify/Pandora, general internet access.....whole family is ****** off.
Any tips/tricks/ideas???
dave

Downgrade firmware to 7.6.1 .. as the latest is just lousy.
It is easy to downgrade.. hold down the option key whilst you click the version number. in Macs.. lots of stuff is hidden behind an option key.
I also strongly recommend a factory reset and use all SMB names.. not apple type names..
ie TC name.. TCgen4
Wireless name TCwifi (or give names to both bands.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz).
That helps all the non-apple part of the world.. connect.
Also Mavericks has now changed over to SMB as well. So even Mac is now windows networking.
Generally these two things. .7.6.1 firmware and SMB names will fix it.. if not post again as is another step that is possible.. controlling the WAN speed of the TC.

Lost WAN Connection Three Times in Past Two Weeks

For the third time in the past two weeks, I had to call the support line and walk through the process of having my WAN connection reset after losing my connection to the Internet. Restarting the router after waiting a minute does not resolve the issue. I have to call and work with the automated system to have the loss of connection verified and then it is reset on Verizon's end. This problem did not start until my speed match started. There were two weeks between the first reset, but there have only been two days since the last reset. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Thanks in advance.

In general when you lose connection try to look at the link lights on the router and see if your losing the wan coax light. If you do then your losing coax physical connectivity.
If you have access to the main ont then instead of calling in you can reset it yourself. Some of them are easier to reset than others. Find the alarm silence reset and hold it down for fifteen seconds and make sure the lights drop

RV180W loses port forwarding rules when switching WAN connections

We have a backup WAN connection in our office, but we switch this connection manually on our RV180W when the primary goes down. Our normal connection is ADSL with PPPoE, and the backup is Cable with DHCP.
However, we also have some port forwarding rules for our VoIP PBX (UDP port 5060) as well as SSH, and these rules seem to stop working completely when we switch our WAN connection to our cable connection. We can still surf the web from our workstations, but our incoming phone calls and SSH connections all cease to work completely. The problem does not persist after we've switched back to our normal ADSL connection.
This behaviour is completely bizarre and suggests that there's some kind of bug in the Cisco RV180W.

helm,
I'm sorry, I wasn't clear which IP address renewal I am speaking about.
I believe that the problem is caused when the router renews the WHS's local IP address (192.168...). My WAN IP address remains unchanged througout the tests I performed and the problems I experienced.
The very act of changing the local clients' lease time in the router's configuration causes the forwarding to be lost immediately. (I am gusessing that when the lease time is changed, the router immediately renews the lease and begins a new countdown.)
(In fact, I might go as far as to say it is a bug in the firmware, but I haven't done enough testing to nail it down.)

RV042 v4.2.2.08 problem connecting to ISP with WAN Connection Type PPTP

Hi,
I have an issue with an RV042V3. It does not connect to my ISP with PPTP connection type and username 'comsulting/[email protected]' , pwd 6 digit alphanumeric.
Using the RVS4000 or the old RV082V2 with firmware 2.0.2.01-tm, the WAN PPTP connection works fine.
Unfortunately, the RV042 does not output any logging information about the PPTP dialin attempts to the ISP (if there are any).
Did anybody face the same issues?
Thanks,
Richard

Hi Jonathan,
thanks for the reply. I fear there is a misunderstanding.
I am not having troubles with the PPTP server functions of the RV042 but with the client functions.
My ISP services use PPTP to dialin to the internet instead of e.g. PPPoE.
This can be chosen in the WAN connection settings but does not seem to work!
Regards,
Richard

E3000RM - WAN connection dropped

Pros: Good Price. Worked very well when it did operate.
Cons: I purchased this approximately 5 weeks before I got around to using it. After installation, it worked for two days and failed. The WAN connection dropped, and numerous attemps to reconnect failed. Since I was approximately one week past the expiry date of the warrenty I guess I am out of luck and learned a lesson to test upon receipt.

In this case you can reset the router and try to run the cisco connect software that came along with the router to reconfigure it (Note: If you already have cisco connect on your computer then uninstall it first before reinstalling it.). After that you can get into the advance settings of the router through cisco connect and try to reduce the MTU size to 1400.
Click on the following link that shows how to reduce the MTU size http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=66270e5d0d4347d087102f2bfef7116d_3742.xml&pid=80&r...

SA 540 drops wan connectivity after some time interval

hello guys,
I have problem. after a certain period of time (ranging from 2 minutes to several hours) the unit keeps dropping the WAN connection, making the unit unaccessible from the WAN side. The strange thing is, that when the connection is dropped, the unit is perfectly accessible from the LAN side, the WAN LED is still on, status info shows the WAN link up, and packet trace shows broadcasted traffic on the WAN interface, so only the directed communication to and from the ISPs gateway (configured to fix IP) seems to be blocked for some reason. When this happens, then plugging the WAN cable to the Optional WAN port enables traffic again, but it is also dropped after some time, and then only power cycling the unit restores WAN connectivity.
please suggest me as soon as possiblethat how to fix this problem?
Awaiting for valuable reply.....

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Ether Channel for WAN connection

We have 2 WAN connection from the ISP 2 links (155M and 300M) . We would like to perform a Etherchannel on this links.
Both the links termination are RJ45 to a Layer 3 switch. Can we configure Ether-Channel ? What is the condition for EtherChannel (eg no signalling from ISP) ?

If you're on an ethernet connection, you should be able to do etherchannel but like what the others have said, you're do not have the same speed for each, load-sharing wouldn't be optimal.
i'd rather do balancing via BGP by choosing what prefix gets advertised to a certain link, so I can at least maximize the two links. I have the same scenario before, I had 1 FastEthernet and 1 STM1 to a service provider, eBGP multihop load-share wouldn't cut it, I have to do manual prefix advertisement.
hope that helps.

WAN Connectivity Failure
I've ran the same thing a couple times recently besides this as well and same thing is occuring.
My iMac is the only device this happens on. Sometimes it won't reconnect to the wifi automatically when i reboot my Airport Extreme (it's a 4th gen)
Any thoughts or ideas to try?

Sometimes going up to your Wireless strength icon and click it and then choose Open Network Preferences. Then select turn WiFi Off. Then wait a minute and Turn WiFi On. Make sure you are connected to your Network, Make sure that WiFi has the green dot and if it isn!t already Drag it to the top of the list. Other. Times you may need to change your router channel from the default setting from 6 to 10. This holds true if you live in an area where there is a lot of traffic, and all other routers are set to the default of 6. as you can see if everyone is on channel 6 this can cause a very high traffic issue and you need to change your channel number.

LRT224 hickups: dropping WAN connection??

Hi,
my new LRT224 shows hickups in my connection.
It is hooked up to a 100Mbit fiber connection from my isp.
If I try to stream video, it creates every minute or so a second or two pause in the transmission.
Clearly, this breaks my continuous video stream.
The device log (shown below) does report 'WAN connection is down', which seems rather strange and unexpected to me.
If I don't stream video, and the data link is nearly idle, these intermittent 'WAN is down' messages do continue.
If I take the LRT out, and connect my PC directly to the isp line (yes, bad practice) I don't have such hickups, and the video streams fine (at a few mbit/sec).
I updated the firmware to v1.0.1.01 but that didn't make a difference.
I actually disabled the 2nd WAN port.
In the 'dual WAN' config, the 'Enable network Service Detection' is not marked. Selecting 'Link failover' or 'Load balance' does not show any difference (no improvement).
Any clue why the LRT would report 'WAN connection is down'???
I urgently need some solution, but the issue seems beyond my skills...
(In the log I also see 'policy violation's. I have no idea why these occur: I have no firewall rules on those LAN or WAN IP addresses...)
Thanks for any insight!
Jos

There is a new update firmware for LRT224.

Layer 2 WAN Connectivity

Hi all.
This is something new for me and I'd appreciate any help.
We have currently a Layer 2 WAN connection through a 3rd party provider. They use 3400 switches to connect two different sites. One is our DC and the other one is the client. In our DC we have two switches in stack mode 3750Gs. The client has two Dell switches in stack mode as well - Layer 3 switches. We need to configure communications of both sites via the link to perform replication. We do not want VLANs to go through the WAN. What is the best way of configuring our switches? We cannot configure the 3rd party switches.
Thanks for your help.

Hi ,
If you have got VPLS services from your service provider , You can perform replication between two location , without any addition VLAN creation on your switches . (Same VLAN can be spanned between both datacenter) .

If it DWDM link , You can ask your service provider to create new VLAN for your replication , same can extended to your both end switches .

Rv042 v4.1.1.01-sp drops wan connection

I recently implemented the rv042 as a replacement for a wrt54gs running DD-WRT. I upgraded to the latest release (v4.1.1.01sp) to solve 6to4 and SIP problems. These problems were indeed solved. However after some minutes the WAN1 connection gets somehow disconnected from the ADSL modem.
It does show the public ip address, but I cannot ping the ptp router anymore. I also cannot renew the lease. Rebooting the rv042 does not help. When rebooting the modem it briefly works again, but then loses the connection again and it never comes back.
Currently I returned to the old wrt54gs as a workaround. Because I am planning on an extra WAN connection (via cable), which is the main reason why I bought the rv042, I am eager to get this problem solved quickly. Since the ADSL modem is pretty old, I ordered a more current one that also supports IPv6, so I do not have to use a 6to4 tunnel. I will test again with this new modem, but I doubt that it will solve my problem since I do not have any problems with the old router.
Has anyone seen this type of problem, and can I do something in the configuration to solve this? Or is it just a bug?
Thx,
Hans Feringa
I replaced the ADSL modem. That fixed the problem.
