Wireless bridge question....?

Hi all,
I have a wireless bridge between two buildings with 54 Mbps link. However theres around 90% packet loss between the two sites. What would be the best way to take care of packet loss.Any wireless experts..?
Saurabh

First, what have you tried so far?
Have you checked the wireless environment with something like NetStumbler (www.netstumbler.com - free)?
Have you tried other channels?
What is your signal strength, and what is your signal quality?
Do you have a good line-of-sight? (like, between trees would be bad ... when the wind blows the trees eat your signal). In that same ballpark, did you make sure you had a clear Freznel zone?
Have you checked the WIRED connection to your bridges? It's certainly possible that your cabling is causng the high failure rate.
Is it bad all the time, or just some week days, nights, weekends, etc? Over what period of time was the 90% measurement recorded? Did you try resetting the counters to see what *rate* the failures occurred? (i.e., under heavy traffic loads, was the rate higher than under normal / low traffic loads)?
Let us know ...

  • Do I want a wireless bridge? Terminology question

    Hi I'm not entirely sure of the correct term so here goes. I have wireless internet access and I would like to access it and share it via the airport wirelessly.
    At the moment the airport is connected via the ethernet cable but I would like to change the location of the airport as it has my printer and hhd's attached and it's getting a little cluttered beside the phone table!
    So do I need to follow the instructions to set up a wireless bridge?
    thanks

    Hello Soaringmonkeyfish. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    To create a wireless bridge with the AirPorts you would configure them in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). In a WDS, you would typically have one base station connected to the Internet (this would be the main station) and another connected wirelessly to extend it (this would be the remote station). What are the models of AirPorts that you will be using for this? If both are the newer 802.11n version, will all the wireless clients be "n" capable as well?

  • Problem configuring wireless bridge

    Don't know of this is the right forum, but no doubt someone will put me right if it isnt...
    I'm trying to get my son's hand-me-down G4 Powermac on to our home's wireless network. I bought a Belkin wireless bridge. I can log in to the router, select it and provide the encryption details. The network panel tells me I am connected to the internet via Ethernet, green light. But Safari tells me I am not connected to the internet. I'm using manual config, with the bridge's IP address and quoted Subnet mask. But if I try to enter the router's IP address, I get a message saying that address is not in this computer's subnet. I've got two other macs using the network, so I don't understand why this should be so tricky?
    What do I need to do to make the router part of this computer's subnet??!

    Specifically, it's an F5D7330. I had it in the box for about a year while the missus and me dithered about whether the boy should have his own web access, but he's 16 now and keeps doing his homework on the house Mac when we want to read about the latest banking collapse...
    So I connect the bridge up, switch it on and use a browser to access the bridge's setup menu. It sees our router and i set the encryption.
    Then I go to the Ethernet window in Network Preferences on the G4 (an old 450dp, running 10.4.11) and set Config IPv4 to Manual. I type in the IP address as instructed in the bridge startup guide, 192.168.2.201, and the subnet mask 255.255.255.0. At this stage when I check the network status it's showing a green light and tells me I'm connected to the internet via Ethernet, IP address as just typed in. But Safari tells me I'm not connected to the Internet. If I go to the troubleshooting link on the Safari page, it shows green lights for the top two, ISP (the middle one) is slowly alternating green and red, and the bottom two options are red.
    So I think that maybe I should enter the router's IP address where prompted in the network prefs - 192.168.0.1 - but when I do this I get a message saying that this address isn't part of the computer's subnet.
    I'm afraid I was on the outer limits of my knowledge when I was accessing the Bridge's setup menu. I don't really know much about IP addresses, I am merely obeying orders. All this talk of subnets and such has me completely baffled. But it can't be that hard, surely?
    I suppose my question is, do I have to change the IP address of my son's G4 to link to the router, which is already talking to two other Macs in the house? And if so, could someone very kindly suggest how to do it and what it should be! Or if not, I'd be really grateful if someone could explain in simple terms what the problem might be and how I might correct the issue.
    I did try the Belkin site but it was a long way short of helpful. Hope someone can help out.
    Thanks

  • Wireless bridge

    Hi all, I have an older FieldPoint  FP-1600 controller with a few
    modules that works fine over my ethernet.  The problem is that I
    must now move it to another room without a hardwired ethernet
    connection.  The room can see the wireless LAN though.  So, I
    plan to purchase a Wireless Ethernet Bridge to plug into the RJ-45
    socket of my FP-1600 to connect via the wirless LAN.  My questions
    are:  Is it that simple?  Could anyone suggest a good
    wireless bridge to buy?

    I don't know about that adapter, but as was said in the other thread, we use simple Edimax APs and they work fine (and don't cost $700  ). Presumably, any other standard equipment should work fine - a wi-fi connection replaces the hardware layer but not the software layer of TCP\IP, so there shouldn't be any difference between using a wi-fi network and a LAN (as long as you have everything set up properly).

  • Wireless Bridge Help

    Hi all,
    I have a Wireless P2P bridge set up between two buildings.  They are about 450 feet apart, Root bridge has a 16dbi Yagi antenna (ebay) and nonroot has a 12dbi Flat Panel antenna.  Both bridges are 1231G APs set to Root and Nonroot mode, respectively.  I have a few questions.  Right now the link is working and is reliably connected.  My data rates right now are 1.0  ,  2.0  ,  5.5  ,  6.0  ,  9.0  ,  11.0  ,  12.0  ,  18.0  ,  24.0  ,  36.0  ,  48.0  ,  54.0                                   Mb/sec on both sides.  I consistenly get on the lower end of the scale, usually hovering around 5.5-12mb/sec range on the nonroot side.  Root is typically transmitting at 48 or 54 mb. 
    My signal should be pretty good at -61 and 34-37 SNR, right?
    At work we have a wireless bridge (1310 hardware) and it is set to :::speed  basic-9.0 basic-12.0 basic-18.0 basic-24.0 basic-36.0 basic-48.0 basic-54.0::: so I went into mine (1231G hardware) and set it to the same.  Voila!  I connected at 24-54mb.  All seemed well - until I noticed that now that I wasnt using the B rates, I had a spotty connection that was going up and down.  Changed it back to all rates, and I again have a stable connection. 
    What can I do to stabilize and set the connection to OFDM rates so it will be fast and reliable?  The distance really shouldnt be an issue, and I can see from one antenna to the other.  Would 2 panel antennas be better?  Should I find higher gain antennas?  Should I switch to the 1310 hardware because it is designed as a bridge?  HELP!!!

    Hi George,
    Tonight I installed a matching panel antenna (l-com HP2414) on my side, and have similar results (actually worse results at first).  I upped my side transmit to CCK 30 and OFDM 30 from 20/20 and now have about the same performance (see red below).  I have a question - how important is it to have the wifi antenna clear?  I have it mounted on the same mast as our TV antenna- see pic attached.  Should I move it to it's own mast?  I can mount another one on a second chimney if necessary, or raise the TV antenna up a few feet. 
    I am also not past sticking a yagi at both sides if that will improve my signal to noise ratio...connection still is around 36-54mb, but download speeds on the other side are still only 6mb, not the full 25 we get on the wire off the core, or even the 16 I got on the test nonroot bridge I set up at the same side as the root.

  • Wireless to Wireless bridge help needed

    Folks....
    I think I am looking for a wireless to wireless bridge.
    My next door neighbor & I are splitting the cost of a fast Internet connection.  He is transmitting the signal to  me (and to his home) using a WAP54G access point.   I can pick up the signal in my yard,  but not in the house (well, by one window only).
    I want to:
    1) receive his signal (wireless),  AND re transmit it over my home.
    2)  I found a nice, high gain directional antenna and mounted it outside and pointed it to his WAP54G.   I have run wire from it to the inside of my home.
    3) I found a nice omni-directional antenna  I have mounted on the top of my home and have run wire to the  where the access point will live (this is also the place where the directional wire goes to.
    4) I  have both Macs and PCs which are wireless.  When I  take the computers outside the house,  they can all connect just fine to my neighbors transmission.
    My question:
    I  *think* (but I am not sure) I can both receive AND transmit from only one access point  (say, WAP54G for example).  Is this true?
    If this is not true, what is a good wireless solution to my above problem?  I can not run eithernet cable to my neighbors house. We like to video conference and I do not want to degrade the fast broadband signal.  I want a  802.11G solution.  A 802.11b solution would be too slow.
    I have emailed and spoken to Linksys tech support, but they do not understand me well enough to help me.  The emails from them are useless.
    I have looking over all the Linksys Knowledge base but have not found the answer.
    Can  someone point me to a knowledge base about this,  or  web site, or anything?
    I am pulling my hair out.  Can someone toss me a bone?
    Thanks in advance.

    There are several options you could use to do this. If you do a search for wireless CPE's you will find a HOST of Outdoor wireless directional antenna setups running POE so you can tap it RIGHT into any router you may have availible in your home. WRT54G/WRT54GS/Etc. The CPE will run you a pretty penny, but because you are so close to the source signal, I wouldnt suggest getting a CPE with anything more then 14dBi, Which is signifagntly cheaper. This CPE will allow you to run it in bridge mode, and feed it directly to your router. your neighbors router will see the CPE as just another wireless client, and wont even see the router behind the CPE. PRESTO! you have both a wireless internet connection from your neighbors house, but also your OWN independant WIFI solution in YOUR home! and the CPE's are capable of data transfers = to a T1 line, so dont worry about signal or speed degradation. Hope this helps! any more questions, and your welcome to E-mail me at [email protected]

  • Can I use my Airport Extreme as a wireless bridge?

    Can I use my Airport Extreme as a wireless bridge?

    When you say "wireless bridge", I assume that you want the AirPort Extreme to receive a wireless signal and provide an Ethernet output, correct?
    If you have another Apple router providing your "main" wireless network, the AirPort Extreme could possibly be configured to "Extend a wireless network".
    In that setting, the Extreme provides more wireless coverage and Ethernet ports are enabled, so you could connect an Ethernet device that way.
    But, the AirPort Extreme cannot do this with a product from another manufacturer.
    So, in order to answer your question specifically, can you provide the make and model number of your "main" router?

  • E3000 Wireless Bridging to a Belkin Wireless Router

    I need some help to setup a WIRELESS BRIDGE.  I got a new E3000 which works great so far for my basic wireless and LAN needs.  But I want to use my old Belkin wireless router (G) as a bridge to connect my BD-Live Blu-ray player and any other wired devices in that location of the living room. The Belkin router is access point / wireless bridging capable.  I have the E3000 setup for DHCP, starting address at 192.168.1.100, and 50 users.  I've set the 2.4GHz Channel to 9 (equal to the Belkin router).
    Am I supposed to put the Belkin in Access Point mode and enable wireless bridging?  Or disable access point mode and only use wireless bridging, and disable the routing functions (DHCP, etc).
    Am I supposed to manually add a client (the Belkin) under the "DHCP Reservation" with the IP I give it under access point mode?  Should this IP address be inside or outside the DHCP range?
    This should be a good start.  I'm sure there will be questions.
    My first question is: Should I

    Your questions would be better in a Belkin forum. Basically, the E3000 is working and all configuration necessary has to happen on the Belkin.
    I don't know the Belkin you probably won't be able to use it at as access point and bridge. Thus, I would say you have to configure it as wireless bridge only. It should also not do any routing/IP network related functions, in particular it should not operate as DHCP server or NAT router. When properly bridge, everything should be connected on ethernet level.
    The IP address of the belkin itself has the only purpose for configuration. A wireless bridge would not require any IP address for its basic function of wireless bridging. Of course, as most people use IP most devices have web interfaces or other configuration interfaces based on IP.
    Thus, you could either assign a static IP address on the Belkin or use DHCP and assign it either with DHCP reservation or a free DHCP IP address. The latter obviously makes it more difficult to access the web interface of the Belkin, if necessary.
    I would recommend to set a static IP address on the belkin itself. This is more stable, e.g. in a case where the E3000 is not responsive after a power failure when everything is booting up.
    Static IP addresses and reserved IP addresses should be assigned outside the general purpose DHCP address pool.

  • Airport Express as a wireless bridge

    I can buy an airport express relatively cheaply (£20) and was wondering if it can solve an issue I have. I have a Toshiba HD-XE1 HD-DVD player which has an ethernet port use for upgrades etc. I have a (non-apple) wireless network 802.11a/g using wep security. So my question is whether I can use the airport express to provide a wireless bridge for the HD-XE1 and if so how?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello foxyloxy. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    You could connect the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the existing wireless router. In turn, the AX would be reconfigured as a bridge to allow the existing wireless router to continue to provide NAT/DHCP services for the entire network.
    To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a bridge, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility (located in the \Applications\Utilities folder), make these settings:
    Network tab
    o Distribute IP addresses (unchecked)
    o Apply the new setting.

  • Recommendations for wireless bridge

    I have several 1262 LAP's connected to a virtual WLC controller. I need to build a wireless bridge to a warehouse for a few computers and voip phones. Any recomendations on the hardware and configeration? I've done this before with Proxim AP's, but am new to Cisco's wireless hardware. Duel radio's would help, so I can put one inside and one outside for the bridge.

    The WLC won't be able to control a 'bridge', unless you were using 1552. 
    But you could use the radios on the bridge as well, so long as you use 'infrastrucure-ssid optional' under the SSID.  that will allow you to 'bridge' on teh 5GHz and still use the 2.4GHz

  • Trouble getting Dlink DWL-G820 wireless bridge to work with wrt610n

    I'm trying to get some dlink wireless bridges to work with wrt610n, but not having any luck.  I left Wrt610n router with default "192.168.1.1" IP address and configured bridges accordingly with "192.168.1.xxx" adresses.
    Wireless bridges not happy.  Any ideas ?  The bridges were working fine when i was using "192.168.0.xxx" ip addresses with wrt610n
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well I'll give you full points for reading my question, but zero points for quality of answer.  If it was that simple I would have done it. 
    Unfortunately circumstances have changed and I have both a 192.168.0.xxx LAN & 192.168.1.xxx LAN now and the DWL-G820 (Dlink) wireless bridges must be part of the 192.168.1.xxx LAN (WRT610N Linksys router).  For some reason they won't work when I configure them to be part of a 192.168.1.xxx LAN.
    I'm beginning to think it's a diabolical plot by either Linksys or Dlink to prevent each other's equipment from working together.

  • Setting up a netgear n300 as wireless bridge/access point with airport extremee

    I just replaced my netgear wireless router with the airport to allow our many devices on the network without knocking each other off and also increase the speed.  But would like to use the netgear as a wireless bridge or access point so that I can still connect my NTFS formatted hard drive to be shared on the network.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I can not seem to find my netgear router with 192.168.1.1 as that comes up with another device.  I have tried doing this with a windows laptop in another room but can not seem to make it work.  I am now hooked up directly to the airport thinking i need to do it that way and still no luck. Please help.

    As long as you intend to do this over ethernet it will work.. you cannot easily wireless repeat or bridge to an apple router.. you would need specific hardware to do it.
    What is the exact model of netgear you have?
    The setup method depends on the functionality of the router.. but lets assume it does not have a bridge or WAP mode.
    You use WAN bypass.
    1. Setup the Netgear with IP address in the correct IP range for the rest of the network.. it is hard to talk generalities so lets say the apple is main router and your network is now 10.0.1.x .. then set the Netgear to 10.0.1.250 (apple uses IP 2-200 by default) you can use any value you like outside the DHCP range. Up to the limit which is 254 as long as you keep track of all static IP devices. Apply this setting and power cycle the router.. and you might need to power cycle the computer as well to pick up the new IP.
    2. Turn off the DHCP server in the Netgear. You may lose connection to the netgear now.. do not worry about it.. (this can be combined with one.. if you firstly turn off dhcp before you change the IP.. but whatever is possible.. at some point you will need to change around and if you forget what IP .. you will be in a mess.. so write it on a label and stick on the base of the router.. also without dhcp you will either need to reset router to factory using reset button or use static ip on the computer. )
    3. Plug ethernet from LAN of the main router to LAN of the Netgear. Reboot the whole network is often necessary.
    4. In your computer plugged somewhere in the network.. open browser and go to the address you set.. 10.0.1.250 in my example.
    5. You can then setup the Netgear to do whatever you like.. DIsk access is fine.. wireless is fine.. it just cannot be a router.
    Many many reboots if you get lost. Hit reset and start over.

  • Need Help With Wireless Bridging

    Hello all, I have recently perchased high speed WiFi for my house so I could do some gaming on my Xbox. Problem is my roommate, who is a tech support professional, set the modem up in his bedroom, my Xbox is old and requires a wireless adapter to pick up signals but since the modem is so far away from it it barely recieves the signal. So currently I'm paying for nothing so I confronted him about this issue and he attempted to fix it by wirelessly bridging a router to the modem but after a month he hasn't succeeded and has given up so now it's up to me and I have no clue where to even begin. The modem we have is a Cisco DPC3825 and the router is a NetGear Wireless-N Router WVR2000 V2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Denver: I did not actually understand what kind of bridging you want to do?
    The modem already has a wireless transmitter. I think you mean the router is picking up the wireless signal and provide the xbox with connectivity via wired cable. is that right?
    If correct, It looks like the issue is with the distance/barriers between your modem and router. You need to try to eliminate some barriers in between to get better signl. Try also to put the devices as close as possible to each other.

    4. This gives you the information of what your computer’s IP address is. On the xbox dashboard in the network setup screen select manual and select the top section which contains the IP address, subnet mask, and Gateway address, for the IP address, input the Highlighted section above plus one, so its 192.168.2.1 (this is for standard configurations, again, just add one to the last digit of your IP address.
    5. Open Airport Admin Utility, the select configure on your airport. Then select the Internet tab This will give you your subnet Mask, input accordingly.
    6. For the Gateway address, you are going to put in the value in the blue box. This is because you are using your Computer as a gateway, therefor you need to tap into its connection.
    So For the Average setup you will use:
    IP Address: 192.168.2.2
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Gateway Address: 192.168.2.1
    7. Now for the DNS server, this varies according to What internet service you have, but, Airport admin utility provides the answer, right below the information we used above, you will see DNS Server. viola! Put that in as your primary DNS server in the second box of edit options in the network menu.
    Now you should be complete, test the connection and you should be Ready to Go!! Happy Gaming!

    Welcome to the discussions, DanSwiggsD!
    If you have a non-Apple device as your main router, unfortunately the AirPort Extreme has almost no chance of compatibility with your main router.
    If you do have an Apple router as your main device, please post back with your model number and we'll let you know how your devices should be configured.
    If you don't have an Apple device as your main router you have a few options to connect the xbox:
    1) A pair of ethernet powerline adapters could be used if you did not want to run a regular ethernet cable from your main router to the xbox.
    2) The new AirPort Express 802.11n model does have a feature called Proxy STA which should allow it to receive a wireless signal from any wireless router and allow the ethernet port to be enabled.
