WAN port configuration SA520w

We switched to another internet provider and have problem with our SA520w and a slow WAN connection on av fibre connection.
We have confirmed that we need to set/ force the WAN port interface on the router to use 10base-t (Full duplex) in order to get maxium speed from our Internet provider. Is there any solution force the router to use that settings as I cant find that alternative on the port setting page in router configuration?
Latest firmware installed
Thanks

Hi,
You can change speed and duplex settings at Networking->Port Management -> Port Management.
Thanks,

Wan Port configuration

Hi, I need some info please on how to setup the Wan port. Here is my setup: I have 2 locations and 2 UC560. What I would like to do is beeing able to use one IP on the Wan port in the same subnet as the vlan1 ip address so that I can keep my voice in my tunnel between the 2 offices. The tunnel is already setup but I would like to avoid having to give a different IP and keep everything similar.
Is that possible to do? When I'm trying inside the CCA I can't because it's giving me an error that the IP address is already used by another interface...
But really I'm giving a different IP.
Any idea without having to do a configuration in the router?
Thanks
Jason

Since I already have the tunnel between the 2 locations I would like to use the existing IP for the wan port so I can do the multisite configuration between the 2 UC560.
Let say that site1 has a network of 10.10.1.0 and the UC560 VLAN1 has an IP of 10.10.1.5 and site2 has a network of 10.10.2.0 and the UC560 VLAN1 has an IP of 10.10.2.5. Then I would like having the UC560 of site1 having an IP 10.10.1.8 for the wan port and site2 10.10.2.8. The problem is that I can't do that under the CCA. I'm not sure if there is another way to do this but by doing it this way would avoid some configuration in the router where this seem to be always a big deal for our internet provider.
Let me know if it make sense?
Thanks again.

Speed limitation on Time Capsule Ethernet WAN port

I have a Time Capsule 2TB model A1409 that is connected to a Motorola Cable Modem SBV5121 and only connects to it ("green light") when the Ethernet WAN port is set to 10 Mbps/Half Duplex (fastest speed - average 5 Mbps for download) or 10 Mbps/Full Duplex (slowest speed - average 3 Mbps for download). No other mode can get a connection "green light". Time capsule software is 7.6.1.
Today I connected a Cisco Linksys E2500 router to the same cable modem and download speed increased to 10 Mbps which is what I am paying for my ISP. I haven't even touched the ethernet WAN port configuration. Straight forward.
I would be grateful if someone could point out a configuration change that would allow my TC to connect as fast as this Cisco router.

It works fine in Bridge Mode with a Thomson Integrated Modem/Router. But I don't want to use this configuration since I won't be able to use the TC's Guest Network.
Just tried connecting with Cisco's ethernet cable but remained the same.
Is it possible to bridge the Thomson??
Stick a small cheapo switch between the TC and Morotola and see if that fixes it.. as I said, not all chips quite talk to each other.. even in this day and age.
And Motorola cable modems seem to have more problems than most .. this is not new to me.

SA520W Optional WAN port problem

Hello,
I have a problem to configure the optional wan on my SA520W.
We have 2 connexions (Cable and ADSL), when I set the primary wan with the Cable there are no problems. When I set the primary wan with the ADSL there are no problems. But when I set the Cable on the primary wan, and the ADSL on the optional wan, primary wan works, but optional wan doesn't. Leds are green, link state is UP, but wan state is DOWN.

Can anyone point me to a solution ?

Graham,
To use both WAN ports at the same time, browse to Networking-> Optional Port-> WAN Mode. Select Load Balancing so that all traffic will be balanced between the two WAN ports. The other modes only allow a single WAN port to be connected at one time.

SA520W Optional WAN Port PPPoe fails to connect

Hello,
I am trying to connect a SA520W optional/secondary port to the Inet. ANd it always gives me this error:
pppoeMgmtDBUpdateHandler: error in executing database update handler
Component: PLATFORM
AND
pppoeMgmtTblHandler: pppoe enable failed
Component: PLATFORM
I have no idea how to resolve this.
Updated to actual firmware - same result.
Help is highly appreciated.

Can't configure both WAN ports on 1811 with SDM

Hi,
We recently procured an 1811 router to replace a SOHO linksys at a store we service. We needed redundant WAN interfaces to use the DSL as a backup to the main cable connection, and a Linksys RV082, while doing the job when it actually worked, died repeatedly. We decided after looking at the 1811's feature set to just get the Cisco and be done with it and not monkey with SOHO gear anymore.
Where I'm having difficulty is SDM won't let me configure both WAN interfaces from the GUI, it only allows me to configure one. I have it configured, and the router is working nicely in the test lab but I need to get that other interface configured and failover enabled before I can put this thing into production.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to suck it up and learn IOS?
Thanks,
Todd Phipps
Certco, Inc.

I ended up figuring out the IOS commands to enable one fastethernet port as a primary and the other one as a backup (running both cable and DSL for redundancy; it's a grocery store that runs electronic transactions over IP so 100% availability is a must).
The trouble I was running into in SDM is that while it would allow me to configure one WAN port through the GUI, the config options for the second one were grayed out. Now that both are configured through IOS the edit buttons for both WAN interfaces appear normally in SDM. It's almost as if Cisco didn't want users to be able to configure both interfaces graphically for initial setup.
Now just to test it at the site before the store opens to see if the failover works...

Configuring Ethernet 'WAN' port on AirPort Extreme

I would like to know if there is any way to configure the Ethernet MAC address on the WAN port of the AirPort Extreme.
This is a feature available on most other brands to accommodate the lock-down to the first Ethernet MAC address that the ISP encounters on their port.
Quickly replacing one router with another requires the ability to set this address. Otherwise, lengthy support calls are needed with some service providers to reset equipment on their end.

Even if you can't spoof a mac address with the Apple networking products, why not just call your cable company/ISP and give them the new mac address? That's all I had to do in order to switch from Linksys products to all Apple products.
The ISPs do this because it's their little way of trying to control traffic thru each of the modems but only allowing for one device to be connected to it at a time.
I'm wondering why you would keep switching back and forth between routers? I would think that when you do change routers, you'd want that to be a 'permanent' change and not a temporary one.

I have Fios. I have the TC connected via ethernet to the Fios router. TC WAN port ethernet to Fios Lan port. Then I just have the TC create a wireless network that is different than the Fios wireless network. How do I set up an Airport Extreme to the TC?

The Airport Extreme is a 4th Gen unit. I just want to keep the TC wireless name to go further through my house.

The Ethernet connection will be from one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme.
Then you can use AirPort Utility - Manual Setup to configure the AirPort Extreme as follows:
Click the Wireless tab located just below the row of icons
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network (Not "extend a wireless network" as many users incorrectly think)
Wireless Network Name = Same name as your TC network
No check mark needed next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Radio Mode = Automatic
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Same setting as the TC network
Wireless Password = Same setting as the TC network
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon
Click the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save settings and restart the entire network
Computers on the TC network will now be able to move to the area where the AirPort Extreme is located and not have to "switch" networks. This is known as a "roaming" network.

Does the WAN port in client mode on the Airport Express?

On an Airport Express (2012 version, 802.11n), has anyone tried the following configuration? Is the WAN port active in client mode? Do you have any suggestions on this or similar configurations?
I am trying to use Airplay to stream music to two Klipsch G-17 speakers. As I have discovered and also documented by Apple on their web page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4587 in the section
"Connecting to an existing Wi-Fi network as part of a legacy WDS or Extended Network", this is true "Due to the overhead required for this configuration, you may expect AirPlay drop-outs such as intermittent loss of audio."
Configuration now:
All Airport Expresses are the 2012 802.11n version with a LAN and a WAN port.
There is one Airport Express in a home basement. It is connected to an Internet connection. This Internet connection goes into this home basement.
There is a second Airport Express on the second floor of this home.
Now, both Airport Expresses connect fine with the "extend network" option. There is wifi coverage throughout this home. All works fine until Airplay is used to stream music to these two Klipsch G-17 speakers. There are intermittent and persistent pauses. I am experiencing the what Apple documented in this kb article. I am not able to connect the two Airport Expresses with an ethernet cable. I cannot run a cable from the basement to the second floor.
Has anyone tried this following configuration? Or is there a different configuration that would work, and if so, could you provide the configuration details?
1. Connect the first Airport Express via client mode to the second, second floor Airport Express.
2. Set the network default gateway to the first, basement Airport Express.
The attempt is to eliminate the extended network, with its Airplay dropouts. And allow access to the Internet via the wifi network.
- end -

If the Express joins a wireless network wirelessly, in other words its WAN port isn't connected to anything, the correct way to connect a wired client to it is by using its LAN port.
I don't know what would happen if you were to connect a wired client to its WAN port instead — it's just not supposed to be used for that purpose. It won't permanently break anything if you were to try it though. If you were, the worst that would occur is that your network would become unresponsive as packets continuously traverse its WAN port in a circular fashion, which might require that you power down your router to reset your whole network.
If you are already using your Express's LAN port and you need another, the way to provide more ports is to purchase an inexpensive ($10 or so) switch. Connect it to the LAN port and as many other pieces of equipment as the switch's available number of ports.
You're correct about the first generation with the single Ethernet port. It could be used in either capacity depending on its configuration.

Do I need to buy an ethernet switch that has a WAN port

I want to buy an Aiport Express to handle a WiFi only iPad and an old PPC iMac with 10.5.8 on it that has no WiFi card. The iMac gets on the internet from a cable plugged directly into its ethernet port (using DHCP). The cable comes off an antenna at the front of the cottage. A signal hits the antenna from a broadcasting tower about half a mile away.
I need to buy an ethernet switch for the Aiport Express to handle both the iPad wirelessly and the wired iMac. Does the switch have to have a WAN port or can I buy one with five LAN ports?
Message was edited by: Roy Vincent. Spelling error

So here's what I am planning to do. I get myself an ethernet switch. I plug my cable from my antenna into it. I run a cable from one of its five ports into my iMac. I run a cable from one of its other ports into my Airport Express. I configure the Airport Express in Bridge Mode. Now my wife can connect to the web wirelessly using the iPad and I can connect using the wired iMac --- and we can do so at the same time and indpendently of one another. No?
Sorry, but no.
You only have one IP address. With a switch feeding two devices, it will be a matter of chance as to which device gets the IP address.
The other device will not be able to connect to the Internet, since a switch cannot "split" the connection.
Instead, you need a simple wired router to "share" the public IP address that you receive. In turn, the router distributes "private" IP addresses to devices on your local network, so each device will be able to connect to the Internet.
As I mentioned, a switch cannot perform the functions of a router.

WAN port without DHCP/NAT on WRTP54G

(Sorry if this issue was already discussed - I couldn't find it using Advanced Search) I find that my new WRTP54G works fine, supporting VoIP and several PC clients via its LAN switch, providing I enable its DHCP and NAT function. This is with the DSL modem connected to the WRTP54G's WAN port, as required for the VoIP module to access the internet. However, this configuration (the factory default) results in "double NAT" when used with my DSL modem. (This situation is evident by inspecting the HTML status screens of the respective equipments.) The obvious solution would be simply to disable DHCP and NAT in the WRTP54G and let the DSL modem do the hard work. However, disabling DHCP/NAT within the WRTP54G essentially shuts down all PC client access to the internet. The symptoms resemble a situation where packets are not being properly routed between the WRTP54G's LAN switch side and its WAN port (although I don't know whether that is the precise cause or not). On my previous WRT54G router used with a PAP2T, I saw the same behavior but the workaround was simple: move the DSL modem Ethernet port connection from the WRT54G WAN port to one of its LAN switch ports. Problem solved at the expense of occupying one of the four available LAN switch ports. Such workaround is not applicable to the WRTP54G due to the previously mentioned requirement of its VoIP module. Has anyone got their WRTP54G (or for that matter, WRT54G) working properly with its WAN port as a simple (non-DHCP/NAT) router? Please note my preferred Internet Connection Type (on the WRTP54G opening Setup page) is "Obtain an IP automatically" although a solution using "Static IP" would be OK. I am looking for a portable solution (for hotel rooms etc.), so I can't set the WRTP54G to "PPPoE" as suggested in some other forums. Thanks in advance for any help!

Use the Modem connected to WAN Port of the wireless router ....
In such case you can use the DHCP of the router also & other computers using the client services can work .....
Make sure that the Ip address should not conflict between the Vonage router & Linksys router .....
I think that Vonage is giving Ip - 192.168.15.1 ...& the default Ip for Linksys router is 192.168.15.1 ..... change the Ip for any of the router or modem to 192.168.20.1 .....
Also under Linksys router once you open the setup page ....
Leave the Internet Connection type to "Obtain an Ip automatically"
Click "MAC address clone"
Click enable & click clone
Click save settings ....
See if you are able to go online or not ....

HT1941 trying to connect time apsule to macbook air with the ethernet cable in the WAN port the airport utility doesn't detect it

trying to connect time capsule to macbook air with the ethernet cable in the WAN port but the airport utility doesn't detect it but when i put it in the LAN one it does but it doesn't let me configure
any ideas?

Isn't it fun trying to do things without an ethernet cable direct to the computer.. Apple sell a usb to ethernet adapter cable fairly cheap.. makes life a lot easier having something to do hard connections.. or as hard as usb can manage.
Since you have to access the TC by wireless .. press and hold the reset button on the TC for about 10sec until front led flashes rapidly.. don't worry about the ethernet cable.. leave it disconnected.
Now click on the airport symbol and join another network. The TC should revert to its home name.. which will be a combo of Time Capsule and its MAC address. There is no wireless security and you can do the setup.

Can the WAN port be used as LAN when AirPort Express (2nd Generation) is setup to join a wireless network?

Can the WAN port be used as LAN when AirPort Express (2nd Generation) is setup to join a wireless network? (IE: 2 LAN ports)
I haven't been able to get a clear answer on this. I believe the 1st generation would act as WAN/LAN depending on setting, but what happens with the 2nd generation?
Thank you for your time.

If the Express joins a wireless network wirelessly, in other words its WAN port isn't connected to anything, the correct way to connect a wired client to it is by using its LAN port.

RV042G difference between bandwidth - protocol binding for WAN ports

Can somebody explain a little bit better then the manual what the differences are between bandwidth management on WAN ports and protocol bindings?
If you can specify in each section which protocol should go where why having two places to configure this?
Or are there some things to remind when using one of them?

Even if I tell the router to use bandwidth priority for SMTP to WAN2 (and i do not have protocol binding active for smtp to wan2) it still goes to wan1, how does the router choose this kind of behaviour?

SA540 Firewall Rules Fail when Optional Port Configured to Failover

Today, I configured a client's SA540 for failover. The primary WAN port is FIOS with a static IP address. The optional port is Road Runner cable with a static IP address. The failover tested successfully. However, now the SA540 cannot be accessed on its internal IP address (https://192.168.1.1) and none of the firewall rules work any longer. There are several rules but to name two; remote desktop port forwarding to an internal server, and HTTPS to another internal server. Both rules use IP addresses different than the SA540's WAN IP address. Additional external IP addresses were configured previously and assigned and they worked up to the point were the failover was configured.
Now here is the strange part. If the optional port cable is removed from the port, everything returns to normal, but plug it back in and problems. I even tried disabling failover in the SA540's configuration and it made no difference unless the cable was unplugged.
As you might imagine the client is upset about this. Anyone have any ideas?
The firmware is 2.1.18.
Tony
PS. About an hour after I posted this, I tried moving the remote desktop external connection from one of the additional IP addresses configured in the SA540 to the dedicated WAN address and remote desktop sessions were then forwarded into the correct server. Apparently, the additional IP addresses are not working with the two ISP failover configured, or at least it doesn't work in my configuration. Any help on this would be much appreciated. The additional IP addresses are configured in the same subnet as the dedicated (primary) WAN port. Again, this worked until failover with another ISP was configured.

This issue has been resolved. After much testing and discussions with the great guys at Cisco TAC, we determined that Verizon FIOS is doing something on their routers to defeat use of IP aliasing. If you have FIOS and you must have more than one IP address and expect to create an IP alias to direct traffic in a 1 to 1 NAT to a node on your network, FIOS doesn’t work. Contact with Verizon technical support is no help. They are oblivious to the problem and don’t want to be bothered.
