Wireless bridge Between WRT400 and WRT160n v3

Hello.
I have 2 routers WRT400 & WRT160n v3
The WRT400N is conncted to a DSL modem and providing network access to the house.
I setup WEP security on both of the bands (5Ghz & 2.4Ghz).
I'm looking to setup the WRT160n v3 in another room and set it as an "Access point" to connect to the WRT400 and provide wired connection to other network devices in the other room, how do I connect both of the routers? [or switch the WRT160n v3 to access point mode]

Wireless Bridge between WAG120N and E1500

I have my internet coming into my WAG120N and going out wirelessly. I want to setup a wireless bridge between this and an E1500, so I can connect my TV to the E1500 (via an ethernet cable) and have it access the internet. Unfortunatly I can run a cable from the WAG120N to where the TV is. So it I can get the E1500 wirelessly bridged to the WAG120N, I hope I can get around this issue.
I have updated the firmware ont he E1500 to get Bridging support, but from what I can tell it only provides bridging via an ethernet cable. Is there away to bridge wirelessly?
Cheers
Mike
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1. Linksys wireless routers don't support wireless bridging.
2. Either install 3rd party firmware like dd-wrt or tomato or buy a dedicated wireless bridge and connect the E1500 to the bridge. That way you can also use the wireless in the E1500 for wireless connections.
3. Otherwise check power line ethernet. That's often a better and more reliable solution.

Building wireless bridge using e3000 and wrt160n with wap54g as acess point between two

I recently purchased an e3000 router and would like to setup my old wrt160n nextdoor for my brother to access my network for Xbox 360 and internet. How do I set up the wrt160n so that he can access my network? I have a wap54g that worked great with his computer and wireless nic card with antenna. With the Xbox 360 added he needs a router to connect both. Will reconfiguring the wrt160n work if so how do you do it? Everything else in my home is hard wired except a printer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have tried setting this wireless network bridge as suggested by oook and It doesn't work. Would anyone have any suggestion as to how to do this. every diagram that I have seen shows a connection such as this being done between two WAPs. Since the WAP I currently have is rather difficult to find. I would like To know which of these Items would be The best to go with to do what I want to do. The WAP610n or the WET610n or a combination of both? From What little info I have been able to find the WET610n will expand the range of my e3000 into other areas of a home. Will this do it For a wireless bridge between to homes that are about 500 feet apart? Is the WAP610 the better product since it is a WAP? I am getting very frustrated with this. I think I need to boost the signal from my end and be able to capture it at the other end. Just not sure how to do this without having to invest hundreds of dollars to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated as well as any reply to this post.

Wireless bridge between E4200 and WAG320N - Assistance required.

Hi,
As indicated on the title, I have both WAG320N and E4200, they are currently linked (wired) together as a bridge (it is not ideal or necessary, but lets move pass this point) and is working fine. But I'd like to place the E4200 on a floor above (which cabling is not an option) and is wondering how the two units can be bridged wirelessly while status quo on everything else.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

You would have to use a 3rd part firmware (preferrably DD-WRT). Then you can set up the router as a bridge client (linked wirelessly and usable lan ports) or a repeater bridge so that the E4200 can act as a repeater, switch, and be bridged to the primary router.
I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.

Wireless Bridge between 2 building

Hi !
I need a wireless bridge between a second building (across the street, about 100' direct) to our main building and a switch.
Can anyone recommend me a good products/solutions.
The purpose of this bridge is to connect the remote office via a small Cisco Switch with 6 computers, and 6 IP Phones w/video.
Thanks !

The 1300 comes in two flavors, one with internal antenna and the other with external antenna connectors. For the distance you indicated I would use the internal antenna model, it is rated for up to 1.25 miles and requires less accuracy in alignment than the YAGI antenna. I believe the spread of the signal is 15 degrees on the built in antenna.
The YAGI could be used with the external antenna model but will limit your exterior coverage for users other than the remote bridge.

Bridge between DropTarget and TransferHandler

Bridge between DropTarget and TransferHandler
Hypothetically, what if you have:
1) old code which uses a DropTarget to tie together a JEditorPane and a DropTargetListener
2) the desire to set on newish GUI code a TransferHandler. It�s a custom GUI TreeTable component that I want to be the source of the data only (COPY).
When I tried to mock something up and drag something from the new GUI to the old GUI, I did not see a Transferable set in the DropTargetDropEvent of the drop method
Thoughts? Has anyone ever done such a thing before? Google did not reveal much.
The mock up code I have is intertwined with the system so I cannot share it.
Thanks.

Try setting a breakpoint in the listener method and see if the event is recognised.

Nd help configuring JMS Bridges between COM and SOM

We skip the JMS Bridge between SOM and COM because we deploy the O2A cartridge using the:
- When Central Order Management and Service Order Management Exist in the Same
OSM Instance in a Non-Cluster Environment.
- Customer and Service Order Management in the Same OSM Instance
"Deploy the following cartridges through Design Studio for the simple fulfillment
topology"
Now what happening is: the flow of the order taking time before it was completed or need manually submit the task using oms-automation user.
But even with the above work around we cannot see the billing data in BRM.
UpdateSalesOrderSiebelCommsProvABCSImpl (v. 1.0) this is the last BPEL process we see in BPEL.
FulfillBillingFunction.BRM-ALL.BundleGranularity.FulfillBillingSignificantUpdates is the last Activity we can see in osmwebui if not manually update the task.
Then ProvisionOrderSIResponseTask is the current task in osm task web client where order state is In-Progress.
With that it seems the SOM is not processing.
Do you have any idea why we can't complete the order and see the billing data in BRM?
Is'it the COM and SOM not properly configured, or have some issue with other application(RODOD)?
Thanks,
Ace

Hi All,
This issue already resolve by configuring the routing in AIA.

Configuring JMS Bridges between COM and SOM

Hi,
We started working on OSM 7.0.2 and I have a question about the configuration of JMS Bridges between COM and SOM.
When COM and SOM Cartridges are installed in the same OSM instance on non-cluster env., it is mandatory to configure JMS Bridges between COM and SOM?
If it is case, could you please detail the procedure to follow?
In the document called "Application Integration Architecture Order-to-Activate Cartridge Guide Release 7.0.2 E18005-01" it is not obvious to understand. If you have a look in the table 2-1 page 2-15, I don't see all the mandatory field values to create a new destination bridges (for instance, what is the value of destination JNDI name?). Does anyone configure this part in the setting up OSM to the Order-to-Activate Solution?
Best regards.

The COM-SOM bridge is only required when COM and SOM are deployed on separate osm server instances and AIA Emulators are deployed (on both) for development/demo/quick testing purposes.
In QA/SIT/PRODUCTION environments, OSM should be integrated via AIA, this means that all participant applications ( CRM , OSM-COM, OMS-SOM, BRM ) should be using queue bridges (or SAF in 7.0.3)

Weblogic JMS bridge between Weblogic and oracle Advanced Queue

Hi,
We are facing some issues when we are trying to integrate with Oracle AQ JMS through Weblogic.
We have configured a Foreign AQ server which points to the oracle Advanced Queue and we are trying to create a Weblogic JMS bridge between AQ and weblogic. The bridge works perfectly if create the connection factories and bridge destinations with NonTX mode. The issue is with XA mode. Also we have deployed the Resource adaper for XAResource to use XA transactions.
No help is available for the exception on google too :)
Following is the exception we are getting.

Wireless Bridging between two 1242 AP's

Hello All,
I have a trailer at a client that I'am trying to connect to the main building via a wireless bridge using two 1242 AP's. I'am trunking on the connection to each AP using dot1q. I don't mind all the vlans going to the trailer so I'am not limiting the vlans. What do I have to do on the AP's to get this to work exactly? Are there any guides on this? thanks
Jason

Hi Jason,
If you're unfamiliar with the CLI, you should probably use the GUI. Here's what's needed to establish a bridge link between two APs:
1. Only one SSID is needed, regardless of the number of VLANs
2. The SSID should be placed in the native VLAN (as only one VLAN can be associate to an SSID)
3. Encryption for the link should be attached to the native VLAN
4. The SSID should be configured for infrastructure mode only
5. Every other VLAN should be created, but not assigned to anything.
6. The radio role/mode must be set to root bridge on side and non-root bridge on the other side
The critical realization is that only one SSID is used. It's perhaps what's most confusing about bridges. To my knowledge, you need to configure every VLAN you want to traverse the link. I do not know of any way to simply allow all VLANs.
Also, know that the channel can be set on the root side (and should be hard set to channel 1, 6, or 11 if using 2.4GHz), but you cannot configure the channel on the non-root. This is because the non-root scans all channels and matches to the root.
Let me know if you need assistance with any of this. I or someone else on the boards would be glad to help.

Wireless connection between computer and HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One Printer.

I just bought an HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One Printer - H711a. I want to have a wireless connection between my computer and my printer in order to place the printer in a different room. The instructions say that I need to give the name of my wireless network. Do they mean that I need a wireless internet connection? I absolutely don't want to go wireless on the internet. How do I go about this?

Bridge between wired and wireless

This is what I am hoping to accomplish
router *****wireless connection 802.11******wlan0 - laptop - eth0 --------Wired ethernet---------------- another host(s)
routers IP is 192.168.1.1
The "other host(s)" need to be able to pull information via dhcp from the router.
What I've tried so far
I've installed bridge-utils and enabled ip forwarding in /proc
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 wlan0
brctl addif br0 eth0
This is where I get lost. I think I need to manually configure wlan0 and eth0. In Ubuntu I think I remember setting br0 to bridge_ports in /etc/network.d/interfaces but I am not sure how to do this in Arch.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
band-aid
Ok I think I have been going about this all wrong, is it possible to do what I need to do using iptables masquerading?
Last edited by band-aid (2008-07-21 07:20:33)

You can use bridging OR ip masquerading - you don't need both. If you use bridging, wlan0 and eth0 join the bridge, which then gets its own virtual interface br0. This is the interface that gets an IP address, so that the laptop can continue to function normally. In this scenario, everything is on single subnet, and no ip forwarding or routing manipulation is required.
If you use IP masquerading, you're basically setting up NAT (Network Address Translation). The router and wlan0 are on one subnet, eth0 and the other hosts(s) are on another, and the laptop functions as the router between the two - as well as doing its normal laptop-y things, of course.
There are probably various pros and cons either way - one that occurs to me now is that the IP masquerade option will probably leave you with a double-NAT setup, because your existing router is most likely doing NAT already. This may or may not be a problem for you - depends really on the kind of network apps you will be running. Personally, I prefer bridging in this kind of situation, just because I find it simpler.

Workgroup Bridge between WRVS440n and WAP321

Hi, i am trying to expand the wifi range of my WRVS4400n. Since the WAP4400 is'nt available i got me a wap321, since it was mentioned as recommende replacement. However i am having trouble in getting the bridge to work.
First i tried to use WDS but this only killed my WRVS4400n and i am now trying the Workghroup Bridge mode on the WAP321.
On WRVS4400n i have enabled WDS and have tried both auto setting and Manual without any difference
I am stuck with this status on the WAP321:
Network Interface Status and Statistics VLAN ID Name (SSID)
WLAN0UPSTRM Disconnected 1 myssid
WLAN0DWSTRM Up 1 myssid
It is the Infrastructure Client Interface setting that fails, i've tried both None and WPA pesronal Security setting with same result: Disconnected
What am i missing?

Hello Lars,
Just wanted to add a note to this as well. Pretty much the workgroup bridge is made to be used with other wireless devices that are not WAP121's and WAP321s. Cisco pretty much recommends to use WDS bridge if you have another WAP321 or WAP121.. if that is not the case then workgroup bridge is your other options. The admin guide should have some good documentation on this and also if you click on help in the GUI of the WAP321 it provides a lot of great information as well! It gives you recommended set up for this configuration.
Other than that you do not have to set up WDS on the WRVS4400n. As long as the SSID, wireless channel, wireless mode, wireless bandwidth and secuirty is the same on the WAP321 and the WRVS4400n this should work out just fine. Maybe have to power cycle the devices a couple times to get it to come up but I know I have gotten this to work between a RV220w and a WAP321... so I do not see why it shouldn't work between the WRVS4400n and the WAP321.
Hope that helps!
Thanks,
Clayton Sill

Conference bridging between VoIP and GSM calls

Hello, Can E61/E62/E50/E70 do conference between one call that's running on GSM and second call running through SIP client on VoIP? Thanks, Bilal

I tried to connect the GSM call to VOIP call on E72, but it has not happened.
I presume this may be the case, also there may be a solution for this.
VOIP Connection:
For VOIP calls the network uses an existing external IP address to transfer the information from the a server. The information received vide VOIP shall be transformed into voice which enables us to here the data conveyed by the server.
GSM Connection:
For GSM calls the network uses the intermediate service provider slot to convey the information as a signal throught the network. The signals are the direct output we hear as sound.
By my observation, in my mobile, the two network actions (VOIP and GSM) can be performed instantaneously or simultaneously.
The mobile needs a medium to convert either the GSM output signal (audio) to Internet packet data (bytes) and the VOIP software installed in mobile should recognize the same audio as an input and allow for a conference call.
or
VOIP call get converted into GSM signal.
