Want wireless internet only
I have a small (2 computer) network and employees that bring in their laptops. I want the employees to be able to connect to the internet but NOT be able to connect to the LAN. Both computers on the LAN are hard wired to the router. These are the only ones that should access the LAN.
Leo
What router/version are you using? If it supports VLAN then I would set your employee's one one network and your wired on another. That would keep them from accessing your LAN. The WRV200 does support multiple SSID's (VLAN) and would provide a good solution for you.

Wireless Internet ONLY Does Not Work With MacBook
I am really frustrated with my internet situation.
I have been in a new apartment for three weeks. I have a Motorola Surfboard cable modem, through Charter, hooked up to a Cisco Linksys E1000 router. The internet TYPICALLY works very well for both my MacBook and my wife's Dell (Windows...), but about once a day, the Internet on my Macbook stops working for about an hour, and it continues working on her computer. I can reboot the modem, the router, hook my computer directly up to the modem, whatever... it doesn't matter. It is like a curse from ****.
I have no idea what the problem could possibly be, and it is virtually impossible to do a Google search for it. If anyone has any idea whatsoever... I don't even really know where to begin. It seems extremely unusual for Internet to work fine on both computers usually, but to randomly, periodically, stop working on just one of them. I have never had a problem like this before.
Thank you very much.

Message was edited by: PhinForRealHave you contacted Charter? Do you have neighbors/friends you could check with when you're experiencing an 'outage' to see if they're having the same problem?
I used a popular search engine and the search terms 'Charter internet trouble connecting' and found several choices. This link is one of several --> http://forums.speedguide.net/archive/index.php/t-146148.html
It details issues experienced by Charter customers from now going all the way back to 2004. One of the more common complaints seems to be that the service just drops out on occasion.

Can my 2001 G4 Powerbook have wireless internet?
Hi,
I purchased a G4 Powerbook around Spring of 2001. I am not sure if it is Airport ready. I misplaced all the manuals for it. If I wanted wireless internet (to be used at school, hotspots, etc.), do I just buy an Airport card and pop it inside (I noticed Airport cards are on sale at Fry's for $49)? Are there any other procedures? Thanks.Hi,
Your PowerBook uses the original (802.11b) AirPort card, not the AirPort Extreme card (802.11b/g). The original card is no longer made but can be found on eBay and some retailers such as L.A. Computer Co. but the price is almost double an AirPort Extreme card. Once you have the card it's plug and play.

Wireless Guest Internet Only Access
We just got our 4402 WLC with 1131ag access points up and running. We would now like to set up guest access with only internet access. Our vendor has suggested setting up a dmz on our checkpoint firewall and have it do dhcp and then setting up a wlan on our controller for the guest access. My question is: what do I need to do on the switch side to set this up? Is is just as simple as creating a vlan and giving it an ip address in the dmz range? Or is there another way of setting up internet only guest access?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
JeffIt depends if all you are wanting to do is Internet-only on you controller. If thats it, then you can place your controller in a dmz. Have a device handout the dhcp information to your clients. Set your controller for layer-3 mode. Have your APs connect to your controller (make sure you have the correct ports allowed through your firewall between the APs and the controller). I would recommend placing the APs on a seperate VLAN than other internal traffic with the appropriate LWAPP options configured in the DHCP scope.
The clients will then associate to the SSID you have setup. They will pull an IP address from the DMZ.
A few years ago on my first LWAPP deployment, I did this setup and it worked perfectly. I would also recommend having the DHCP server in the DMZ assaign an IP address that is not routable in your internal network. That way, if somebody makes a mistake and their is leakage, the traffic can't be routed anywhere since the source IP address of the wireless client isnt routable. You can use this DMZ controller access for Internet only which can also be used by internal people to VPN back to you internal network if you have that permitted.
If however, you are planning to do both direct connection to your internal network and an internet-only connection (two different SSIDs) the best way is to get a small controller for your DMZ (like a 4402-12) and a larger controller for internal (4402-25 or 4404-100). Have your DMZ controller be a guest internet controller that is setup as the guest "anchor". There are lots of docs on the Cisco web site. This solution works great. I use a 4402-12 as a DMZ anchor and have about 20 4404-100s that are anchored to it. -
I am traveling in Chile, South America. I purchased an Entel sym card and I can make and receive phone calls, but the internet only works on WiFi. Do I need to region unlock or what? I willl only be here for A month and a half so I don't want to buy a phone. Any suggestions?
Most of the current Apple Intel based computers are comparable in CPU speed. I don't think it is so much the model of laptop as it is the memory, and storage capacity of the machine. If you are going to use FCP on a regular basis, perhaps as a professional or semi-professional, then you should think about the maximum memory and a very large capacity internal disk drive. For instance, one hour of finished compressed video will take up about 1.5 to 2Gbytes of disk space. If you add up the raw footage and still imagery and audio, you'll use up your disk drive capacity real quick. So a hard disk on the order of 750Gbytes @ 7200rpms might be good for video editing. 5400RPMs might be slow to rendering times. Rendering a video might take up a lot of memory so more memory is better e.g. 8Gbytes.
As a rule of thumb, once you get to about 80% of your disk drive or memory you'll see degradation of performance.
You can check out macsales.com. THey have a menu system that will allow you to pick and choose from various alternatives. BTW, it's been said that although Macs are typically spec'd at a certain memory size, macsales.com found that Apple computers will actually support higher memory levels. That is, if 4Gbytes are spec'd, some machines support 6Gbytes. macsales.com will provide the guidance for you.
You might also consider buying an external disk e.g. 500Gbytes to carry around with you for back-up or transport to another machine. -
Stuck with wireless internet, want wired dsl
I got a buddy in Eagle River, WI, that is stuck in a contract for many months with a verizon wireless internet plan with only 5GB of data, but he desperately needs to get a wired plan such as DSL or cable. He generally runs out of data within a week and cannot use the internet on his computer for the rest of the month (his usb dongle won't allow him connect). Is there any way at all to migrate from wireless data to DSL without a 500 dollar contract break fee or paying for both plans full price at the same time?
Sure, it's just a matter of routing.
If your existing network is using 192.168.1.x you can create another network between the two machines in a different subnet (e.g. 10.1.1.x). This 'network' could consist of just those two machines connected via an ethernet cable such that the Mac is 10.1.1.1 and the PC is 10.1.1.2.
Now all you need to do is decide which IP address you connect to. If you connect to the 192.168.1.x address you'll go over the wireless link. If you connect to the 10.1.1.2 address you'll use the wired connection.
The only trick is to use different subnets on each link - if you try to set both interfaces to the same network you will have problems. -
I want to listen to my music through my airport express but I also have a wireless internet connection!
I think I might have been sold a jelly - I want to listen to my music wirelessly which is why I bought the Airport Express, but I also have a wireless internet connection - can I do both?David1854 wrote:

Do you mean to say you already have a wireless network setup and thought by buying the Airport Express you just could use it for wireless music alone?
The Airport Express is chiefly a wireless router first, with the wireless music and printing as extra's.
It can be used for streaming music alone, but I think it needs to talk to network time servers and thus it gets screwed up over time not being on the internet. Also by your using your computers wifi for music streaming, no internet with your other router.
So it's a all Airport Express or back to a stereo mini cable. -
Laptop only connects to wireless internet in one room
I have a Toshiba Satellite L675-S7104. I have wireless internet, and the laptop will only connect in one room. However, my work laptop and other devices are able to connect all over the house. Also, at times, the internet service cycles on and off about every minute! The first problem is the more common one, though. Any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution....Comcast states it is not a problem with their connection since other devices connect....
Common story with Tier 1 support personnel. Apples and oranges really, just because other units connect does not necessarily mean the router is not part of the problem. Regardless, let's assume Comcast has ensured the router has the latest firmware, as there's nothing we can do about that.
First, try to follow the various suggestions in this article and see if that helps the situation at all:
You may experience connectivity issues or performance issues when you connect a mobile PC that is ru...
If there's no improvement, try this driver from Toshiba Europe, it's a newer version than the one on the USA site. This is a zip file, so you'll have to extract all the files and run setup.exe to install it.

Best way to have internet only wireless network
Our current way of configuration for this is standalone ap's with multiple ssid's. The main network ssid's are on the 10.0.0.0 networks. The internet only ssid is on the 192.168.1.0 network. ( this is a wireless network only,no wired) They all get there dhcp address from a layer 3 switch. To prevent the wireless 192.168.1.0 intenet only network from getting to the 10.0.0.0 networks, we just put a simple source & destination deny acl on the in vlan interface of the 192.168.1.0 network on the layer 3 switch.
Now that we are impementing a Cisco 2504 controller, the management and ap manger are both on the 10.0.0.0 network.( both on port 1 with dynamic ap manager enabled) I can setup as many ssid's on the 10.0.0.0 network and they all work fine. But when I setup the 192.168.1.0 internet only ssid it will not connect. I'm assuming that its because the 192.168.1.0 network or anyone trying to connect and use that network has to go through the controller located on the 10.0.0.0 network. I'm thinking that the acl on the vlan interafce is the problem.
Please correct me if i'm wrong here on any of the above thinking. So, if I'm correct, what is the best way to setup a separate internet only network through the private networks? I'd appreciate any advice on this subject as I'm new to the lan controller way of doing things.
ThanksSo it should be working, you may need to disable proxy on the WLC. Controller > Advanced > DCHP and uncheck the proxy box.
If you do this, you need to make sure you have ip helper-address configured under the L3 interfaces

Wireless internet gives me local only since i changed modem / router
I was having problems with other computers using my ISP's modem now since i have swapped out the modem router combo with my own. My notebook will not connect to the internet all i will get is local only. If i use a cable it works, but what is the point of a notebook being tethered to the modem. I have checked for updates with HP but the one on HP's site is the current in my computer. HELP... please TYIA It is a Presario F700.
Hi:
No doubt your notebook has an Atheros AR5007 wireless card.
Install this driver and you should be good to go.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-108905-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
You may have to uninstall the current driver if this one doesn't over write it.
Check the device manager now (click to expand the network adapters category, click on the Atheros card, click on the driver tab) for the driver version and date.
Then compare it with this one.
You can read the info I provided regarding this issue at the link below.

i have an iMac 10.8.3 and want to get wireless speakers to put upstairs so I can listen to sky.fm. What do I need to get? I do not have wireless internet. Thanks
I would think Airport Express would do the job (this is UK store site but it should be available wherever you are):
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC414B/A/airport-express
It has an audio output socket and air play will stream music from your mac to the device wirelessly. If you want to listen to the radio will need to do so via iTunes or use a program such as Airfoil (free):

I have a HP Deskjet 3510 and it wants to print only in black and white.
The Print Quality Report is fine and in color.
Is there a color button I am missing?In the Print & Scan system preferences, does it indicate it is using a generic printer driver or a Gutenprint driver?
Also, if you click on Options & Supplies, you might want to check and see if has to be enabled. That kind of sounds odd though.
Another thing is it might not be showing. If the bottom of the print dialog has a button that says "Show Details," click it. Then, you can change settings in the popup menu. -
Wireless Internet access via requires unplugging cable modem -
I have a brand new MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard (10.6.1) and Airport Express (7.4.2). I have high speed Internet via Comcast/cable modem. I spent 30 minutes with the Apple Tech Support folks and was finally able to get wireless internet access. However, after I shutdown and reboot, the only way I can wireless internet is to unplug the internet cable from both the wall plug and cable modem and unplug the modem, both for about two minutes. This isnt what I had in mind when I crossed over from the dark side (PC laptop world) and am having buyer's remorse. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem (i dont want to unplug cables before each session on the internet)?
Mr. Timmons,
Thank you so much for the response. I thought the complete reboot would work, but apparently not. I followed the directions precisely, even waiting a few minutes longer than suggested for each of the steps. My air express is still blinking yellow. I think the issue has something to do with the DHCP and the IP address which are diifferent. The IP address is one series of number (starts with 169), and the LAN IP address is another number (starts with 10). Status on airport express show yellow for internet connection, and yellow for no DSN servers. When I go to the internet tab of airport utility, it shows the iPv4 address starts wutg the 169 number. When I click on the network tab, the DHCP range starts with the 10 number. When I open the Network Options window, the iPv4 DHCP range starts with the 10 number. I am at a loss as to how to get them to match up (with either the 169 number or the 10 number). V/R sjbgtmo -
Restrict wireless internet access on certain periods of time
Hello,
We need help on setting up a network with some restrictions for the attached clients.
We're quite new at setting up a network at this size.
Used devices:
1x SRP 540 router
1x SG 300-10P managed switch
4x AP 541N accesspoint
What we want to do:
1. Around 100 laptops and desktop computers need wireless internet access, but some of them on limited times during the day.
2. Not all wireless devices are allowed on using the wireless network.
3. There are also wired desktops that don't need restrictions.
4. We need the possibility to restrict most of the wireless devices to access certain websites or use certain applications on those computers to use internet access during the times that the computers are allowed to access the internet.
5. We want to restrict the clients for using torrents or other possibilities of downloading illegal content.
What we were able to do:
1. The accesspoints (AP 541N) are clustered to achieve 1 large wireless network.
2. Only mac-adresses that are listed in the accesspoints are capable of using the wireless network. Other mac-adresses are not allowed to use the accesspoints.
What we tried already:
1. adding the mac-adresses for the accesspoints to the list of "internet access policy" in the router. Internet access seemed still possible during periods the access wasn't supposed to be possible.
2. adding the mac-adresses from all clients in this internet access policy seemed useless. Only 10 Internet Access Policies seem to be possible to program. 8 mac-adresses per policy. Knowing there are (at least) two policies needed to restrict a group of 8 macs to access the internet in 24 hours (because blocking the internet from f.e. 22u in the evening to 6 in the morning is not possible because 6 is smaller than 22 - or 10PM).
Besides, after blocking internet access, we need also to write policies in blocking some websites or keywords.
Thanks already for your guidelines.
Wimwhat about the thoughts of radius for authentication which is connected to active directory for your wireless users. Then have those people you must limit access too during the day in their own security group that's only allowed to login to the domain during certain times of the day.
To limit sites or what they can do on the Internet will require a separate solution for content/URL filtering. Then you can make policies and apply to your security groups in active directory block by category, keyword, and so on.
This is all great assuming you can get these clients into AD.
Just a quick thought, hope it helps.

Z60t wireless/Internet access problem
I purchased in 2006 at office depot, after a year and a half of using it just stop accessing the internet, I am so desperate since I am not a computer junkie, my needs are simple just to be able to receive and send emails and easy net surfing. I called Lenovo but they are not willing to help since my machine is out of warranty. Please help me, I lost my jo, my home cannot afford to take it to a service location IBM recommends. Thank you.

I cannot access the internet, took it to office depot since I purchsed it from them, they're offering FREE tune up had me purchase a Linksys LAN card telling me the built in wireless netcard had given up on me. Did not help, they sent me home w/ the LAN card assuring me it will work since in my house I have a wide range of wireless internet connection whatever. Did not work either. Called IBM Lenovo only to be declined of tech support because machine not warranty covered. Yesterday, I tried to fix it(LOL) for a miracle to struck me but to my despair. I don't know what to do, I want to take it to service center recommended by IBM but got no green. I am hopeful that, being a member of the Lenovo community, I could find some real help from real people like you.
