Wired for office wifi for internet
please help me on how to assign ip address to work station that uses wired connection for office office server and wireless connection for internet use, simultaneously
Posted by WebUser Betong Lim from Cisco Support Community App
hi seb_rupik
i found out that the network that has internet uses both wired and wireless connections, and also uses dhcp, and an access point is also connected to this network for the wireless clients on the other office, we use cisco wireless router for this network that has internet
and the other network that we use for our office network and connected to a server uses only wired connections and uses dhcp also
clients need to use both internet and server connection simultaneously as required by our job
it seems that there are conflicts, when connected to office server the internet connection drops, and when about 2 0r 3 clients are connected to the net others cant make it,
ill try try to post the output of ipconfig
thank you very much

Want Wired for Internet, Wireless for file transfers on home network
I live in Dubai where internet in my house is connected straight from an ethernet port in the wall in numerous rooms. I have one wired connection hardwired from port to airport extreme which creates a wireless network for my laptops for internet.. apple tv et al. (home network 10.0.1.1 etc)
In the other room i have a mac mini which is directly hardwired to a second ethernet port. I use this machine for hard wired internet as its essentially downloading continuously for work.
Looking at network setting states..
Wired connection states in network details : (To be used purely for hardwired internet)
router address of (91.74.X.1)
and ethernet port ip (91.74.x.21)
Wireless connection states in network details : (To be used purely for connection to home wireless network and streaming of files within internal networks)
Router (10.0.0.1)
IP4V address is (10.0.1.4)
Subset mask is 255.255.255.0
I would like to force the mac mini to only use the wired ethernet connection for surfing/downloading, and also have an IP from the home network (10.0.1.2 etc) purely for file sharing/streaming with other computers on my home network.
Is this possible ?NAS is the right tool for this job.
It is expensive but the market leaders.. synology and QNAP have really been doing it for long time and the ability to do file store/sharing and most importantly backup in these is excellent. Pick the best you can afford.. and buy disks that are in the recommended list. ie the cheapest are not always the best.. indeed they seldom are.
Plan very carefully for rotation of USB drives (easy and cheap now with 4TB single drives). Rotate backups with offsite location on weekly basis.
I would buy a 4 disk case.. you can use 4x3TB which are the best value at the moment.. that gives you 9TB of storage.. plus redundancy for a dead drive.
Alternatives are using a Mac Mini as a server.. with a large stack of disks on it.. generally should be thinking thunderbolt if you want speed. Hideously expensive though for now.
You can buy an Extreme or TC.. either would work well. TC allows you easy TM backups without using your NAS..
Edit very large files on the computer. ie copy to computer.. edit.. copy back to the NAS.
Editing very large files over wireless.. not good. Multiply that by mutliple computers.. not even fair.
Copy a large project to the computer.. work on it.. copy back to the NAS.. in the meantime Time Machine should be able to take care of incremental backups.
There are heaps and heaps of solutions.. as long as it is logical and easy to you.. and covers what you need.
Don't skimp.. spending a $1000 for a NAS with disks.. plus extra for the backup disks.. that represents how many day's work for you plus anyone you have helping.. $$$$ ????
A mini as a server is a good alternative.. You don't need to run server OS.. but share files to the network. Very hard to build the capacity of the NAS though.
And a Mac Pro is now a joke without internal slots and cages for drives. (nice machine but wrong for this).
And Apple have nothing in between.. a short tower case.. been missing for a long long time. -
Installation Question--Wiring for Internet Modem/Router? Help please
Hi all, I am scheduled to have the FIOS TV, internet, and phone installed at the end of this month. I currently have DirecTV HD. I have searched the boards and haven't found a clean answer...wondering if you experts have any advice. My questions are:
1. I do not have a Cable or Cat5 (have telephone line) line run to my office where my computer and current Verizon DSL are.
---When the installer comes, will he run a cable line/Cat5 to the office?
---Do you need both cable line and Cat5 for the modem/router?
---If so, will he fish down the wall (above attic)?
2. Since I currently have DirecTV, I have a multiswitch that distributes all the cable lines throughout the house. The multiswith, however, is in the crawlspace and a good distance from where the current outdoor telephone box is. I don't even have a cable box at the house. So, my questions for this are:
---When the installer comes, will he run a cable line from the ONT to the location in the crawspace where all the cable lines converge?
---If so, the installer uses a splitter, right?
THANK YOU all so much for any insight. My big concern is that in the office there is not a cable line run, and I don't want the installer to drill through the wall to come to the inside. If I have to fish the wire down the wall from the attic, I want to do so before the install date.
Thanks again for your time.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Arun covered most of this quite nicely...
1. I do not have a Cable or Cat5 (have telephone line) line run to my office where my computer and current Verizon DSL are.
---When the installer comes, will he run a cable line/Cat5 to the office? Yes
---Do you need both cable line and Cat5 for the modem/router? No, one or the other works just fine...However if you decide to have the router fed by cat5, then a coax is necessary also to feed ip addresses to the set top boxes...
---If so, will he fish down the wall (above attic)? Maybe, no guarentee's there. If there is an existing Coax in the room already, he may just use that
2. Since I currently have DirecTV, I have a multiswitch that distributes all the cable lines throughout the house. The multiswith, however, is in the crawlspace and a good distance from where the current outdoor telephone box is. I don't even have a cable box at the house. So, my questions for this are:
---When the installer comes, will he run a cable line from the ONT to the location in the crawspace where all the cable lines converge? Correct
---If so, the installer uses a splitter, right? Correct again. More than likely he shouldn't have to change out any of the coax cables as satellite usually uses the better grade coax.
. My big concern is that in the office there is not a cable line run, and I don't want the installer to drill through the wall to come to the inside. If I have to fish the wire down the wall from the attic, I want to do so before the install date. I would suggest this. That way your guarenteed to have the wires run in the wall. -
Can anyone help me? Why does my ipad kick me out of FB? Sometimes to the 'settings' page and sometimes to the desk top? I would like to know why this happens and what I can check or change to make it stop. I have 50.8 GB of capacity available; it is version IOS 5.1.1; model MC497LL. It is WIFI and internet via AT&T? Can anyone give me some clues on what to do; or change in settings??? Thank you very much!
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 Fusion Drive or 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. -
Can I use wifi for internet, while ethernet only for local network?
Hello everyone. We have two internet connections at our office. One is wifi only -- but fastest uploads. The other is connected to our ethernet network (and very slow). Really, it's not much a network -- just iMacs connected to a switcher. When transferring files between iMacs, obviously we want to remain connected to ethernet. But when uploading and downloading files, the wifi option is quickest (long story why -- our offices next door, can't run a physical line yet, yadda yadda).
So we find ourselves constantly switching between the two in network preferences. Not only is this a pain, but it doesn't allow us to upload or download directly to a drive on the network.
Is there a way to tell the preferences to use wifi for internet, and ethernet for the local network (without internet)?
(We have updated mountain lion on i7 imacs, and most recent airport extreme)
Thanks!Your downstairs router can be installed anywhere in your home, but telephone companies or ISPs are only obligated to install their equipment just barely inside its service entrance. Usually, that location is the worst possible one for a home network, since it's in a basement or some remote corner, far from all the devices that use it.
Your idea to install an Ethernet cable to extend its reach to a more suitable location is an excellent one and will be worth the effort or expense. If you don't want to do it yourself a qualified electrician can perform the work quickly and elegantly, and you may find the cost surprisingly affordable. Ask your friends and neighbors to recommend a reputable electrician and get a written estimate. -
Dual Connection; Force use of Wireless for Internet, Wired for Networking
Hello,
I have 2 connections at work: 1) ethernet to our local server/network/internet, and 2) wireless internet (through my phone's hotspot). Our connection is very spotty through our network right now, so I want to use my
wifi for internet and the wired to network only.
I've tried manually entering the priorities in the adapter metrics (5 for the wifi and 15 for the ethernet). They still show 9 for wifi and 10 for ethernet as before (netstat -r).
I also found in another forum where to change the connection orders in Advanced Settings (Change adapter settings>Alt>Advanced>Advanced Settings, then move order).
Niether of these solutions have worked. I have to physically unplug my ethernet to get it to use the wireless connection. Webpages will sit there forever and then only half load or not even at all, but when I unplug and hit refresh, they pop right up.
Any help is appreciatedHi,
The adapter metrics should work. Please take a try to modify the metrics on both of the two adapters, and then recreate the two connections.
Here are some links for reference:

Airport for Internet with Wired Ethernet for local network
I'm trying to set up a small local network of 3 PC laptops connected via a router to a Mac which is acting as the central repository for the 3 PCs. The 3 PCs and the Mac are all connected by Ethernet cables to the router which is deliberately isolated from the Internet. However, I also want the Mac to use Airport to get access to the Internet via another router which does have Internet access and provides wireless support.
What happens is that the wireless Internet access for the Mac works OK as long as I have the Mac disconnected from the small PCs+router network. As soon as I connect the Ethernet cable to the Mac, it loses Internet access.
It seems that the Mac is preferring to try to use the wired connection over the wireless connection for Internet access.
How can I force the Mac to use the wireless connection for Internet access and leave the wired connection for my small local network? That is, how can I change the priorities for the two network interfaces (similar to the interface metric setting in Windows XP)?http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8156.html
read this and then look at this.. this is a screen shot of what you need to do..
http://www.ofzenandcomputing.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/Picture%203.png
if you share your wireless and tell it to share it THROUGH your ethernet you'll be okay..
another thing that you may want to do is to access your routers settings and tell it to work as a switch rather then a router. however if you can get it to work using the article up top then you might not need to do that. -

using sucessfully airport express for internet
when hooking up new airport extreme light glows green, but does NOT appear in devices sesn in 5.6 airport wifi devices
wanting to use extreme at base and express in another part of the houseHow is the express getting internet? What modem is it plugged into?
How is the extreme setup? New extreme cannot be setup with 5.6 utility.. you must use latest 6.3. Which also means you cannot setup from computer using less than Lion .. or you must use iOS with latest utility but it has limited configuration cf the computer version.
IPv6 is also needed.. turn on local link. -
HT5569 How do I print using a wireless printer when I'm using wifi for Internet at the same time
I can't figure out how to print via wifi when I'm using wifi for Internet at the same time please help
You need to have your printer & ipad connected to the same wifi router. ( This would be my best guess. )

Can tata photon plus be used with apple i pad mini for internet access
can tata photon plus be used with apple i pad mini for internet access?
No, you will not be able to use a wired connection. If you have a iPad wifi, it can be used only with a wifi and if you have a iPad wifi+cellular, it can be used with both wifi and 2G/3G and 4G.

Wiring for U-Verse - Information Needed!
I plan to switch over to U-verse later this fall. In the meantime, I need some guidance or information: I am about to purchase some Cat5 cable and run the cable underneath the house myself. However, I am not sure what is the best or required method. 1- I have 3 TV sets that I want to receive U-verse TV programming: ONE in the den, ONE in the kitchen and ONE in the master bedroom. 2- I have ONE computer in a room to itself that will require a data hookup for internet. 3- My wife has a laptop that is currently connected wirelessly. I am assuming the new hardware that is installed with U-verse will also allow for wireless connection. Is this a correct assumption? My other questions are as follows: A- As can be seen in items 1 and 2, I have FOUR rooms that will require a U-verse connection. Do I run a separate Cat5 cable from the outside telephone box to EACH of the 4 rooms (for a total of 4 separate runs)? B- Or, do I run ONE Cat5 cable from the outside telephone box to one of the rooms of my choice that will house the residential gateway and from there the other THREE Cat5 cables will be run to their respective room? C- Or, am I totally incorrect in both choices and there is a more practical method? D- Or, is there an available link that will show or explain the required method for running the Cat5 cable? My goal is to have the Cat5 cable run and ready to connect when I order U-verse. This way the technician will not have to go underneath the house at all and I want have to worry about them wanting to use any of the existing RG6 cable. Thanks for any help!
Here is what I posted for someone else:
Here is what I would do if building a new home. I would find a location to make the "central wiring closet" or main distribution frame as it's called. From that location I would run a minimum of 3 Cat 5e or 6 cables to each location where you think you might ever want a hard wired connection for ANYTHING. TV, computer, Blu-Ray, A/V system, game console, etc. You get the idea. I would actually run 4 Cat 5e and one coax to all. That way you are covered. You might need more cables at a main location such as your main home entertainment system/area.
If you think about just that one location, you could have a AT&T DVR on one cable, A/V system on another, smart TV, Blu-Ray Player, & a Game console as an example. That's 5 devices that would need a cable at that location so you can see they add up quick.
You can get keystone faceplates that hold up to 6 cables per plate. They come in 1 port, 2, 3, 4, and 6. The 3 port looks like this:
Then terminate all of the cables on a patch panel in the wiring closet. They have 24 port, 48, and 96 port. the 48 port looks like this:
Then mount the patch panel and the data switch you will need in a swing gate wall mount data rack. Like this:
Make sure you have the electrician put power wherever you locate the main distribution frame. Then be sure to run three additional Cat 5e from the wiring closet to the outside AT&T terminal

I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing wireless network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. I am using a set of speakers from kenwood connected to the airport express. The operating system on my macbook is mac os X 10.5.8. i am sure it is not a problem of streaming music online because i have even tried playing music which are stored in my macbook.
Is there any problem with the setting in itunes or quicktime ? Kindly reply...... I am waiting for your valuable suggestion.
Thank you a lot in advance.I am shocked to have found this same AX audio dropout problem starting TODAY, every few seconds the audio just drops for a couple seconds and then resumes: Latest software versions of everything. No iPad, iPhone or Touch. Internet hardwired to D-Link DES1105 (1000baseT Switch) hardwired to new 80211N AX, AX optical to stereo, AX Wi-Fi internet to basic 1st-gen MacBook operating at 80211G, and an older 'G' AX extender at the far end of the house, away from all this. The MacBook streaming iTunes is usually 12 feet from AX. I've used this setup for years of trouble-free AirTunes / Airplay until today. Today I also found 2 very reliable fixes and 1 way to force a dropout, but first, I read some posts and tried ALL following settings one-at-a-time and restored them ALL because NONE of them helped: Turned off IPV6. Streamed to multiple speakers 'Computer' and 'AX' (restored to just AX). Turned off 'Ask to Join new (WiFi) Networks'. Turned off Bluetooth (can't live without Magic Trackpad, so glad that wasn't it). Here's my discoveries: Lo and behold, each time I click the Airport icon in the Menu (you know it shows you've got 4 bars from AX) when the status switches to 'Looking for Networks' for a second it CAUSES the AX audio to drop out for a couple seconds (it never did that before today.) iTunes still playing, streaming, AX laser still lit, but the 'PCM' light on stereo and the sound GOES OUT EVERY time I click the Airport icon in the menubar, just like the regular, annoying dropouts. So, to reduce traffic I quit Safari (3 tabs, no streaming, just Gmail, Google, and Netflix browsing). Lo and behold, the dropouts stopped altogether. No other Web apps going (not iTunes Store, Genius, Ping, nothing), so I launched Chrome to the same 3 tabs and the dropouts HAVE NOT RETURNED. That's right, not only did simply QUITTING SAFARI cure it, and Chrome doesn't contribute to it, but I can demonstrate it just by forcing my Airport to re-scan. Works for me, written using Chrome. The other reliable fix is to hardwire MacBook to the Switch. This is obviously not ideal, but Airplay audio doesn't drop out over Ethernet. Also, in all my tests, it made no difference whether iTunes did the streaming, or Airfoil did.

I work in a company that has only t one connection for internet. There is no interet srvice provided in this area. I do however have and Iphone three and have no trouble getting on the internet with it. Will it be the same for the IPAD 3 that I just purchased?? Want to be able to use the IPAD 3 at work and get on the interent and if I can on the Iphone 3 I'm hoping the IPAD 3 will also. Any thoughts?
Either your phone is getting on wifi or you're using the cellular network to access the internet. If it's wifi, then you just need to connect the iPad to the same wifi. If you're using the phone's cellular connection to access the net, then you'll either need to get a tethering plan to use your phone as a mobile hotspot for your iPad, or get a device like the Mifi, which is a portable cellular wifi hotspot
