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 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.

Wi-fi bridge between two routers TP-LINK WR841ND (WDS). HP 1536 dnf MFP connect to one of this routers (copper). My Ipad or Iphone can't find HP 1536 dnf MFP (using Eprint). Ipad and iphone connect to router across WiFi.

Hello.
I have wi-fi bridge between two routers TP-LINK WR841ND.
The name of this technology - WDS.
HP Laser JET 1536 dnf MFP connect to one of this routers (copper).
Second device (my NETBOOK) connect to second router (WiFi).
I have good communication between NETBOOK and HP Laser JET 1536 dnf MFP via WiFI-bridge.
In usual case NETBOOK can find (and can Ping) network printer and make a print some files.
But my Ipad or Iphone can't find HP Laser JET 1536 dnf MFP (using Eprint). Ipad and iphone connect
to router across WiFi.
Please, help!

Are you using the ePrint Mobile App, the ePrint Printer Control App, or just trying to send an email to the printer's ePrint email address?
Does AirPrint work?

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.

Message bridge between two instances

I am trying to setup messaging bridge between two instances of weblogic server.
Can the second instance belong to a different domain? If yes how to configure it?

Yes, you can configure a messaging bridge to work between two WebLogic domains.
The general instructions of configuring a message bridge, including the bridge instance itself, the bridge destinations and the adapter, can be found at
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs103/bridge/basics.html#wp1168461
The only extra thing that you may need to take care of for the cross-domain case is to configure cross-domain security as instructed at

Wireless link(bridge) between two ap 1300

Hello, i need to configure wireless link between my 1300 series, how can i use them like a bridge and access point in the same time?
Do i need static ip for BVI interfacess between them for bridge or its need to be DHCP, is there any example? i would be great to know that
thank you

Here is a simple config example
Root                                                                           Non-Root
R(config)#dot11 ssid test                             n-R(config)#dot11 ssid test
                #authentication open                    n-R(config)#authentication open
               #infrastructure-ssid                       n-R(config)#infrastructure-ssid
               #exit                                                                  #exit
R(config)#int d0                                          n-R(config)#int d0
               # ssid test                                                  #ssid test
                #statio-role root bridge wireless-client          #station-role non-root bridge wireless-client
                #no shut                                                   #no shut
For BVI interfaces you can assign either static or dynamic IP address
But it is highly recommended to have static ip for better management.

N bridge between two 1252an in bridge mode at 5GHz

I've read in some of the cisco documentation on the 1250 series that root bridge or non root bridge modes are "not tested". They don't say "not supported". I have a client that could use a high bandwidth link between two buildings that are 100' or so apart. The fiber link has already been busted twice. Heavy heavy trucks kill the ground concrete. I have configed a 54Mbps solution with two 1242G's and some cisco yagi's. But, if an N bridge is possible with two 1252AG's, and go faster than the 54Mbps..I'd go with that setup.
Cisco documentation says the bridge modes show up in the 1252 webgui and are selectable. They just end it with "not tested".
Any thoughts?

It became supported in recent versions of the 1250 IOS.
|With this feature, the Cisco Aironet 1140 and 1250 Series can be configured for both access point and bridge functions. Bridging support on 802.11n access points offers added performance, reliability and throughput for basic wireless LAN coverage, wireless LAN coverage with wireless backhaul, and more traditional bridging applications.|

Wireless connection between two macs.

I have a Intel iMac downstairs and a G4 power pc iMac upstairs. The downstairs iMac has an internet connection, upstairs does not. What do i need to have a wireless connection between the two and how do i go about connecting the two computers?

Hi widge-
What you need will depend on which Macs are already wireless and which you will have to add.
There is a lot more information available here: AirPort + Time Capsule

Low throughput over wireless bridge with two WRT160N

I recently bought two Linksys WRT160Ns and created a wireless bridge according to http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Bridge. I installed DD-WRT v24-sp1 (07/27/08) min.
But, in a perfect setting where both devices are just a meter apart I can only get a throughput of 20Mbps when using security (either WEP or WPA) or 30Mbps if using no security at all. To measure this I'm transferring a large file from one computer to the other and checking the result on the "bandwidth" page of the router.
Any suggestions on how to improve the bandwidth would be much appreciated!
Thanks, Gordan

Ask in a dd-wrt forum. They know how to tweak their firmware.

Roaming with Airport Express (bridging) between two Airport Extreme AP's

I have two Airport Extreme base stations set up on a company LAN that provide wireless coverage for our very large facility. Both are set up with the same SSID and WPA settings and they are 5 channels apart, 1 and 6. We have a cart with a computer and it uses an Airport Express / WDS to allow wired Ethernet bridging to our LAN via the wireless. I can't seem to get the Airport Express to "roam" between the two access points, ie, when one AP's signal gets too weak I would expect that the Airport Express would switch to the stronger of the two AP's. Is this a correct assumption?
In the AirPort utility when you set an Airport Express as a remote it only allows you to specify one "main" AP, so I don't know if this is why I can't seem to get it to roam between both AP's. Anyone have any experience / success doing this? Thanks for any information you can provide.
Joe Jenkins

if possible, it sounds like you need to configure a "roaming" network, not a WDS. Of course, I am assuming that all your base stations have access to your LAN via ethernet...
- Configure each base station with the same network name and authentication/password.
- Put each base station in bridge mode (unless you need 1 of them to distribute ip addresses).
- Each base station needs to be on a different channel - and make sure they spread apart, like 3 and 11, as opposed to 3 and 4.
Basically make sure they are configured exactly the same except for the wireless channel.
Roaming should improve.

Can I create a wireless link between two 871W routers?

Hi all,
The subject says it all. Can I link two 871W routers (ADVIPSERVICES IOS) wirelessly, in either a bridged or routed configuration?
I'm running 12.4(11)T1, and the only station-role they seem to support is root:
r1(config-if)#station-role ?
root Root access point
Any help most gratefully received!
many thanks,
alec

No. With 871W routers you cannot create a Bridge link. 871W routers support the following roles.
a) Root access point
b) Universal client mode
c) Support of Workgroup bridge clients
For information on the roles supported on the ISRs read, http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5853/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a008067e8e9.html#wp1101651

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.

How can I set up a wireless network between two Mac Mini's (media centres)?

I've just received my second mac mini (core duo, 1.83, 1 Gb ram)and want to set up a wireless network to link this with my original mac mini (PPC 1.42, 512MB) and my Belkin wireless router (g std).
I'm using both as media centres in different rooms and want to keep all my media (films, photo's, music etc.) on one mini (connected to a 640GB external drive) and access it over the wireless network. Sort of a more felxible Apple TV setup??
I've got the wireless network working no problems with both mini's connected to the internet over the network but I'm stuck at how I get the two mini's to see each other. I've tried "the Missing Manual" and these forums but no success so far.
I know it can be done but would really appreciate any suggestions/directions on what to do?
Thanks in advance<<br>

Wireless Connection between two routers

Ok. I own two houses seperated by a driveway going to both garages. I have cable internet access linked to a Netgear WNDR3300. That router is sending a signal to a wireless PC, 2 Laptops, and my Mini when needed. My signal in the 2nd house is REALLY weak.
I have a WRT54GS v4.0 sitting around and it to connect to the netgear and then resend a wireless signal to the wireless laptops around the 2nd house. can I do this? if so. HOW?

Is your Linksys Router is connected hardwired to the Netgear Router ?
If your both trhe router is connveted via cable...you can get the wireless signal from both the router.However your purpose will not get resolved because you want to repeat or extend the signal.In my opinion you may get a wireless Range Expander to resolve your Problem.

How to setup thunderbolt bridge between two macbook Pro (retina and 2011 )?

I have a new 13" MB Pro retina and want to use the thunderbolt bridge btween the 13" and the 15" MB pro 2011.
Somehow I cannot do anything with this, and on both laptops it shows the the Thunderbolt slots as "Inactive". I have connected the the two laptops via the new Thunderbolt cable.
I looked around and there is no documentation on how to make this happen. The documentations are very thin or non existent.
I want to use this mechanism to transfer my data from my old MB pro to the new retina one.
your help is greatly appreciated.
Amir

unfortunately the option to select thunderbolt/firewire never comes up.
It directly goes to the options from where to transfer and then upcon clicking on it. It keeps on looking with the spinner icon showing and it never finds the other computer.
It does see it through the wiresless but not through thunderbolt.
The more I look to make this happen the more I am convinved that this feature is not fully baked and does not really work as the documentation on "Thunderbolt bridge" setup is next to none existent and only one perons through macrumors has supposedly managed this. It is really a shame as I was looking forward to use this new capability.
All the best,
