Wireless ad hoc routing protocols

I have an application that uses wireless ad hoc routing protocols (node-to-node communication). Has anyone developed any application that implements wireless ad hoc networking protocols, such as route discovery, route maintenance etc. using LabView? If so, I'd appreciate if you could provide more insight on your application.
Thank you in advance.

I've done something like that in the past, but LV was not the interface to the network.
Basically, LV was used to control parameters within an embedded system (running Linux-Embedded) and sending commands over serial and / or Ethernet ports. The system was comprised of multiple boards, each running an OS with 3 layers of communication, some of which were serial, most over Ethernet.
However, the firmware took care of discovering and setting up the network. LV simply quieried the system to find out what it had to deal with (how many boards, what type, etc), then it would quiery the application to find out if the expected networks were esblished and to allow permissions over the network.
Are you trying to achieve something similar or are you trying to implement (setup) the network directly using LV?

Dynamic routing protocols over wireless.

Hello all,
Are there any issues with running dynamic routing protocols through two access points (1240AG) bridging two LANs that are presumably currently setup with a dynamic routing protocol?
Thanks,
Patrick

There shouldn't be.
They are acting as bridges ... so no need for a routing protocol in the common broadcast domain.
Unless you have some flavor of broadcast / multicast control in-place, it should pass the traffic without issue.
Good Luck

I have a TC which is connected wirelessly to my router. I would like to connect a mac in another location via ethernet to the TC. I can't seem to get it to connect. Am I missing something?

I have a virgin Superhub which serves my wireless needs throughout the house. I have a Timecapsule which connects wirelessly to the router with no issues. I can backup my MBP over wireless easily. I have now got another machine in a different part of the house that I would like to connect to the network. It doesn't have wireless so ethernet is the only option. I have a number of options 1) run cabling - not really possible 2) buy a powerline network system or 3) use the timecapsule to connect to the network/internet.
I like option 3 because
(a) - I don't have to spend any more money and
(b) - my wife wont complain about cables also see (a)
Should using mixed wifi and ethernet clients on a timecapsule work? if so is it a feature I can use out of the box so to speak?
Thanks

No a TC cannot do what you want.. it is now in dumb stupid wireless join mode.. and it turns off the ethernet ports.. in case you want to use the TC as a wireless bridge to multiple clients which is plainly wrong.. (only airport express is allowed to do this since it has only one ethernet port).
Welcome to Apple. (The plainly wrong above is a figment of Apple imagination.. of strict network protocols.. but unhelpful for a home device. maybe also to encourage sales of expresses.)

My labtop is conncted wirelessly through my router but the internet wont open

My labtop is conncted wirelessly through my router but the internet wont open iv been trouble shooting it and it tells me something about th primary dns or something yet i have another computer which i connected to the same network and it has no problems and goes to the internet fine

First of all when you computer shows you that you are connected to your Wireless Network, first thing which you need to check, whats the IP address you are getting it on your Computer. Click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok and in the Command Prompt type "ipconfig" and hit enter and check the IP address. It should be in your Router Range i.e (192.168.1.xxx) if not might be your computer is having static Ip, thats the reason you are not able to go online. So you need to remove the Static IP from your computer.
Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Local area connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the properties button- If its set to 'Use the following IP address' then you need to change it to "Obtain and IP address Automaticaly" and click Ok and Close.
Now check if you are Online.

How to set up the airport express with a linksys wireless-g broadband router

I need to know if and how to set up an airport express to use to extend a home wi-fi network. I have AT&T service with a 2WIRE modem. I am using a Linksys wireless-G broadband router. I also have the new Macbook Air notebook. The airport express keeps giving me a blinking amber light even when the ethernet cable (from the modem) connected. Please let me know how to set up an extended wifi network using this system. Any help would be appreciated.

If that is all that is done, the Express would not provide more wireless coverage. Instead, it would duplicate the coverage provided by the Linksys and there would be two WiFi systems covering approximately the same area. As per my above comment, one Express connects via Ethernet to the Linksys. The second Express provides the extension.
You must have misunderstood what I was saying.
Linksys is providing a wireless network.
The Express is connected to one of the LAN ports on the Linksys router using a long Ethernet cable (or Ethernet powerline adapters)
The Express is located on the other side of the house, for example.
The Express is configured to create a wireless network using the same wireless network name, security and password as the Linksys router
The Express is configured in Bridge Mode
This has worked quite well for me for years. Computers "switch" from one wireless access point to another smoothly and automatically while they move around the house.
Although this is an "extended" network, it is technically known as a "roaming" network.
This is what I was suggesting as a possible alternative without having to buy more hardware.

Wireless B Broadband Router (BEFW11S4) connects for only about 5 mins at a time

I have Wireless B Broadband Router (BEFW11S4). Worked fine for about 2 years. I've had a HP Pavilion for about a year now using the wireless and also have a desktop I use on it (wired). About a month ago the speed seemed to be lagging a little and the router was never secured with a password, so I changed that and added a password. Ever since then the laptop will not stay connected for more than about 5 mins. I have gone back and removed the password protect feature, but still have the problem. It has a problem connecting to the router. The signal bars always seem to be full, but still can't connect. I've tryed reseting the router, unpluging everything, etc and can't get it to have a steady connection like before. Sometimes I can connect to the internet even when it says "Not connected" in the wireless network connection 2 screen. I've tried to search and find a similar problem, but was surprised to not be able to find one. Any insight will help.
Thanks,
Lman

Thanks for the suggestions Wizzard. Although I did not know what all that stuff does, it didn't seem to help. I didn't not upgrade the firmware because there didn't seem to be any upgrades since 2003, before I bought it. Any other suggestions from anybody? Could anybody make an educated guess to whether it's the router or the laptop?
Thanks,
Lman

Airport Express for stereo / Belkin Wireless G Plus Router/

Quicksilver G4 using Ethernet connection directly to Belkin Wireless G Plus
Router . Airport Express working remotely via router to stream audio to
loudspeakers. Was able to choose (from iTunes window) whether to play thru
computer speaker (1) or remote speakers (2)
Problem: I temporarily disconnected the Airport Extreme unit. No options now... can only play thru computer. iTunes no longer
shows a dropdown selection option to stream to remote speakers.
Have reset Airport Express. Have used Airport Setup to re-install....have
done this using both a laptop G-4 (successfully to be able to a/b select
either computer speaker or streaming to remote) but when trying to do
the same re-install from the G-4 Quicksilver.... and getting a message that
the installation was successful.... iTunes streaming network signal doesn't show up in the Quicksilver menu bar AND neither is there an option to select
streaming to remote speakers.
Other manipulation tried: disconnected cable modem, reconnected to
"reset" the modem. Other observation: the Airport Express indicator
is steadily green.
I hope this makes enough sense that someone like Tessarex can suggest
a solution to enable iTunes streaming with the G-4 Quicksilver, via the
wireless Belkin router to the Airport Express and stereo. (I don't want to
have to resort to using my wife's laptop to initiate

With your QuickSilver G4 connected via Ethernet to the Belkin router, you should be able to stream iTunes to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) by joining the Belkin's wireless network as a wireless client.
Try the following...
To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
AirPort tab
- Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
- Wireless Network: <select the existing wireless network>
Music tab
- Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
- Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (checked)
- iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
- iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
- Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

Wireless-N Gigabit Router ports wont open?? NEED HELP

I upgraded my linksys WRT54GX to a linksys Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link and now when I open ports or specify my ip under a DMZ, my ports are still being blocked. Im trying to open a few ports for my applications but when i test them.. it fails, ive turned off my MCaffee firewall opened the ports and even put my static ip and enabled DMZ and it still shows my ports as not going through. I would appreciate any help.

I have updated to the most recent firmware. I had a few technicians setting up a crestron Audiorequest server in my houes and for the equiptment to work properly they needed to open up about 5-6 ports. I could see they were having problems while forwarding the ports on the N router. They told me even though the ports were open, they were still being blocked by the routers firewall. I had to set up my old WRT54GX modem and now the ports are benig accepted. I now have a 250 dollar router sitting on my floor because it is not working properly. Any suggestions?

Jumping gun? Netgear N300 Wireless ADSL2+ modem/router

Hi,
I'm probably jumping the gun here but I've got a Verizon Actiontec GT704WG modem/router and have been disapointed in the last few months by spotty wireless and internet connectivity when nothing else in my house has changed. In addition, I need to make a non-network-ready external HD a network drive so either have to have a NAS adapter (incredibly difficult to find at a local store) and I'm awaiting information on whether or not I have to format (again) my already FAT32 file system drive for an adapter to recognize the drive or whether or not the adapter will work without re-formatting my drive. The work around is the Netgear N300 Wireless ADSL2+ modem router because it will allow me to attach the non-network ready drive without an additional NAS adapter.
However, after reading all the problems that people have with third-party modem/routers and Verizon DSL I'm a little concerned about trying to hook this up as a solution. So I have some questions:
1. Do I have to put the Actiontec GT704WG into bridge mode as Verizon recommends or can I get rid of the Actiontec altogether and just use the new modem/router?
2. I have no idea if I have ADSL+ service with Verizon. Assume I can call and find out or get the info from my account page. But if I do not have that service, will the new modem/router work with basic ADSL service that Verizon provides (ok, that's my really dumb question)?
3. If it's better to just stick with the Verizon modem/router and get a NAS adapter does anyone have a recommendation on a reasonably priced adapter? I don't want a NAS enclosure as I'm not really interested in breaking my external drive and removing the guts so I'd prefer a stand-alone adapter.
4. If I can get rid of the Actiontec altogether, can someone provide some assistance for the proper settings to get me setup without too much fiddling? I'm so sick of spending hours trying to troubleshoot computer issues!
I have an older PC wired into the Actiontec, a network printer attached to the Actiontec, and am running windows XP pro on the PC and have a laptop that is running windows 7. Evil Empire Microsoft has made the lovely choice to make it difficult sometimes for the two OS to communicate and I'm tired of leaving the PC on all the time so that I can use my external drive (if Win7 cooperates) as a network drive through the PC. I'd rather have it as a real network drive operating independently of the PC and point my iTunes, word processing, and database programs to the network drive rather than trying to get them to run through the PC into the external drive.
I wish Verizon would offer more choices on modem/routers, especially ones that offer you the option to add a usb storage device as a network asset!
Thanks for any help! I know I'm jumping the gun a bit, but I'd like to return the new modem/router ASAP if it's not going to do what I need without tons of hassle.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Since the Netgear you have is a DSL modem, there is no need to use the ActionTec. Disconnect it from the line and keep it around as a spare modem should you ever need it for troubleshooting purposes. Also, even though the modem you are buying is marketed as an ADSL2+ modem, the technology is specced to be backwards compatible with traditional ADSL. The ActionTec you currently have is an ADSL2+ modem itself, so that should back up that statement enough. The only thing you need to make sure you verify before switching the ActionTec out for the Netgear is what authentication mode the ActionTec is using. This can be set to either PPPoE or DHCP (shows as Routed Bridge mode) and should show up on the main status page when you visit the ActionTec's web inteface. If you're using PPPoE, you should have no issues getting the Netgear to work. If you're using DHCP, you will need to either close the MAC address of the ActionTec into the Netgear, or leave the modem overnight before you are able to obtain an IP address.
Otherwise the Netgear depends on how you decide to set it up. If you set it up through the Web Interface (http://192.168.1.1/ for Netgears, normally), you need to make sure the DSL Virtual Circuit is set to use 0/35, VPI of 0, VCI of 35. The modem should auto-detect this on first boot. Additionally, if you're using PPPoE you'd need to use your Verizon Username and Password to connect the modem. If you set it up using the Setup CD, it should do all of that heavy lifting.
ReadySHARE (what you're looking to set up with the External Hard Drive) uses the same Windows File and Sharing setup, however it does it using Samba shares, FTP and HTTP since the router runs Linux. The reliability you see might remain the same, but I suppose it's one of those things you need to wait and see how it works once the router is set up. Just remember, the speeds to the drive will not be as fast as going through a PC with better hardware under the hood.

Cant get WVC54GC camera to go wireless with WRT300N router

I up graded to WRT300N from WRT54G my four computers are all working fine two are hard wired two wireless using WUSB54GC adapters cam works fine hard wired (CAM WORKED WIRELESSLY WITH WRT54G) I am useing wpa personal I transfered all settings from the wrt54g to the wrt300n I have network mode set to mixed radio band(auto)wide ch(auto)standard ch(auto) I have tried setting network mode to(G)only no luck I have disabled WEPA no luck can"t view video or the setup page on the camera this one has me stumped any help would be appreciated

First check that the wireless settings on the camera should be same as in wireless router.......also check that the port 1024 is properly forwarded or not........
Try to ping the static Ip of camera from hardwire computer.....
You can also change few wireless settings on router......
Radio band - 40MHz
Wide channel - 6
Standard channel - 8.....

Airport Express & Netgear DG834G 54Mbps Wireless ADSL Modem Router

Could you offer any advice as to whether an Airport Express could be used as a range extender for an existing Netgear DG834G 54Mbps Wireless ADSL Modem Router setup as I really like the idea of Airtunes and sharing a USB printer. I gather that it is possible to use an Airport Express to extend the range of an Airport Extreme basestation setup but have not been successful in finding any info regarding the Netgear.
Any info gratefully received !
G5 Dual 2.3Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

mac-junkie, Welcome to the discussion area!
No it can not be used as a range extender.
But you can still use it for music and printer support. See KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

CE dial-in to PE. What routing protocol I should use ?

Hi,
Situation - CE connected to PE via some ethernet interface (primary) and ISDN dial-up as backup, so I need to use some dynamic routing protocol to distribute customers networks to other sites. Now I'm looking towards extended (triggered) RIP, but maybe there are better choices?
As I know, only triggereg RIP and OSPF supports 'on-demand' circuits, but OSPF isn't recommended as CE-PE protocol because it has no VRF awareness and we would have to run separate OSPF process for every VRF what isn't nice. This makes RIP only choice? Or there are another possibilities, maybe BGP ?

Hi,
over all there is static, RIPv2, EIGRP, OSPF, ISIS and BGP for PE-CE.
Well floating static alone seems no possibility in your case.
RIP and EIGRP have some issues when running on redundant links into the VPN (possibility of routing loops), which would be the case with backup active and primary coming back. Depending on the exact topology there might or might not be a workaround.
OSPF has to be run as separate processes. Might be tough on PE resources, depending on your exact setup details. Other than that it does the job.
eBGP with ebgp-multihop and static routes is an option. So eBGP doesn´t go down, just is directed over backup link in case primary is down.
Pick your poison! :-)

BEFW11S4 - Wireless-B Broadband Router questions

I have the BEFW11S4 - Wireless-B Broadband Router. Did it come with mac software originally? If so, is it possible to get the mac software from your company? Secondly, is there a way to disable the wireless signal on it and use it as a wired router? How would I do this? Would I do it in the network system preferences on my mac or would I need the software that came with the router originally?

Hi…
Linksys software CD does not operate on MAC OS. But you can still use the router with MAC. To configure the router with MAC OS connect the MAC to any of the Ethernet port of the linksys router. Login into the router by typing http://192.168.1.1 ( Default IP ) in the address bar of the IE. Leave the Username field blank and type admin as password (If you have not changed the router password.) Using the user interface you can also disable the wireless function of the router.

BEFW11S4 Wireless-B Broadband Router Issues

I have been having issues with my router lately. It is a Linksys BEFW11S4 - Wireless-B Broadband Router. It has the latest firmware and everything which was from like, April of 2005 since this is an older router model. I've had it for about 3 years now and have had no problems until this past week. I have Verizon DSL. Anyway, my network connection seems to fail every so often at least 6 times a day at random times. I use WEP security encryption and everything. Every time it fails, I have to reset the router and go into administrator configurations and retype the password then it starts working again. But it is annoying since I just lose connection for no reason when I'm in the middle of something. Even when it fails, it does not indicate that I lost connection or that my connection is weak. It says that the signal is still excellent all the time even when it stopped working and the Internet light is still on. Odd. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong or is it time for me to buy a Wireless-G router instead and hope that fixes the problem? Again, I have had no issues with the router and it has been working great for nearly 3 years until this past week and I did nothing to mess with it. Maybe is it just that the hardware is worn-out? I dunno, I just want this problem solved.

Bad DMZ + Portscan = Reboot. I’ve noticed that a portscan will cause the router to reboot if you have a bad DMZ host specified in the DMZ settings. The “Dummy DMZ” is a known method for stealthing Linksys routers, but apparently doesn’t work due to this problem. This problem has been confirmed on the DSLReports discussion board as a problem thats been around for a while, not just in 1.39.2. I’ve found that even with a valid DMZ host, a portscan will sill hose the router. If you turn on the “daignostic logging” (see hidden features section), you can see log entries that say [HH:MMS] Free=xxx, where xxx is getting smaller and smaller until it resets. (Note: this happened with default filtering settings, no spi, block wan, etc)
UDP Traffic Can Cause Reboot. In much the same way as the DMZ problem, sending large amounts of UDP traffic can hose the wireless interface. I used QCheck to send 1mBit of information in 10 seconds from a desktop (wired) to a laptop (wireless). You can see the [HH:MMS] Free=xxx decline. When it gets to 0, the wireless interface activity light goes solid and the router locks. This bug hasn’t been confirmed yet on any message board or newsgroup. (Note: this happened with default filtering settings, no spi, block wan, etc)
hmmm..just curious what model number are you referring to? Is it BEFW11S4 ver 1 or 2???
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift.

Extend range of BEFW11S4 Wireless-B broadband router

Hello,
I curently have a linksys wireless-B broadband router (BEFW11S4) and would like to extend it's range, which device should I buy to accomplish this? I guess I could buy a linksys wireless-G access point (WAP54G), but I'm not sure it will work with an wireless-B router (BEFW11S4). Anyone, any ideas?
thanks in advance,
Joeri Kumbruck

yes.... wap54g doesn't work with a wireless - b router.. it will work wirelessly only with another wap54g or wrt54g....even wap11 might not help you..
if you have befw11s4 v 4...then you can try setting up a range expander with it...however , make sure that both the devices have the latest firmware.....
