Wireless-G Access Point HELP!

Ok, I currently am running my office with highspeed internet. I have the Internet running into the Router and than into the Wireless Access Point. BUT!, I have 2 intruders! Possibly slowing down my internet speed. I need to know how to setup a password protected lock on the wireless networking!
Thanks,
Ryan
NOTE: I did misplace my installation disc for the Access Point!

simple... you just need to open up the set-up page of the access point. by default the IP adress of your access point is 192.168.1.245
to secure the wireless router, follow these steps: (do it on a hard-wired computer)
open a web browser, type in http://192.168.1.245
username: blank, password: admin
go to wireless tab, change SSID, set channel to 11, then save settings
go to wireless security subtab, enable it, then select a security mode, example WEP 64 bit. in the key 1, type in a 10 digit characters (0-9 , a-f), then save the settings
to connect to a secured wireless network
right click on your wireless network connection icon (commonly a single computer icon, found at the bottom system tray where the clock is located at)
view available wireless network, if the network name(SSID) shows up, connect to it, then type in the exact key. confirm it then connect. once connected, try to go online. and that's it

WAP2000 Wireless-G Access Point (Setup Help)

Hi,
We have a wireless-g access point typically (and previously, in this case) used for a small business. We were given the device for free and wanted to reset the device to use as our wireless router at home. First and foremost, can a wireless access point double as a home wireless router? I was told that only one computer/laptop at a time can connect to a wireless access point, unlike a wireless router which allows multiple devices to connect to a wireless home network at a time? Is this true?
Second, because the device is not new, we no longer have the setup instructions. Upon resetting the device (holding down the reset button for 10 or more seconds), we were unable to access the WAP2000 online setup page for a username and password. The device is being picked up by our macbooks and shows up in the Airport as "linksys-g." However, we are unable to access the setup page or communicate with the access point. We have tried typing http://198.162.1.1/ in our address bar, but have had no luck.
Do you have any suggestions as to how to set up the device? Also, can this device double as a router that will allow multiple laptops and devices (i.e. sony playstation) to access and use the wireless network simultaneously.
Thank you for your help.

Sam,
First yes you won't to factory reset the unit. You should hold down the reset button longer than 30 seconds and no longer than 45.Once this is back to factory default, the current ip address should be 192.168.1.245 , you will need to statically assign your pc an address in 192.168.1.1 /24 range and make sure you are plugged directly into WAP2000. Now you should be able to access the AP. Default username = admin password = admin

Above is a quick start guide for reference.
Now just configure accordingly.

Hi, My name is Eric Moyers. I am a Network Support Engineer in the Cisco Small Business Support Center. Thank you for using the Cisco Community Post Forums.
Under Wireless/Security how do you have the Wireless Isolation configured?
Wireless Isolation (within SSID) should be disabled to allow wireless computers associated to the same SSID to see and transfer files between each other

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.

Setting up wireless Cisco Access Points independently and network layout

Hello,
I am technician in a school. I have been asked to upgrade wireless system in school. Currently I am using VDSL2 30Mbps line. I am using E4200 Router, which is providing internet services. The school has 3 floors. On one floor I have this router which is further attached with 16 port gigabit unmanageable switch. The same router is providing wireless service on the same floor using Class C ip address. From the switch I have extended a cable and took it on to another (second floor), where I have got one more gigabit switch. From that switch I have connected one router using different subnet and further i have attached two access points for the entire floor, which is working ok. From the same switch I have extended one more cable up to third floor where I have connected one more access point. So, 3 access points on three floors, 2 switches and two router. This is the current network layout.
Now school have decided to go over to fiber. ISP is going to put Juniper router and going to create vlan and will configure access restrictions. School will have 100Mbps unlimited up and download speed. Its because of increase in number of students. School is still waiting for the router and configuration to be done.
I have got 4 cisco 1602i access points (AIR-SAP1602I-Z-K9). These access points are POE supported. I have got one 8 port POE switch also. When I got these 4 cisco I didnt get power adapters with them. First I want to ask, is this normal. Don't they usually come with power adapter. I know they are POE, but cisco doesn't send them with power adapters.
Second I want to ask, if these access points can work independent without WLAN controller. Or do i have to have WLAN controller.
As fiber is not up yet so, for the time being I have connected these access points with POE switch using Cat5E cable and then further connected the POE switch with normal gigabit switch, which is further conneted with router at this point.
Please tell me if I am doing it correctely. I will also be needing help with the configuration.
Can anyone tell me how to setup these access points independently for current situation to provide internet access. How to set them on different channels etc......
Also want to know if there is any software that can detect access points and can help me manage these access points.
I shall be thankful.

Linksys router ezxs55w and wireless g access point

My laptop has suddenly stopped seeing my wireless connection. I can see the ones that belong to the neighbors, but not mine. Have rebooted computers, reset access point (even bought a new one but nothing changed) unplugged, etc to no avail. HELP! Do I need a new router? The led lights are green for link/act and 100, orange for full/col. The connection has worked with no problems for close to a year. Thank You

Whats the Model number of the Access Point? When you search for the Wireless Networks on your computers are you able to locate (linksys) under the wireless networks?
EZXS55W is a Swtich. So you have connected the Access point to the Switch? and where the switch is connected, is it connected to the Router or to the Modem? Who is your ISP.

N97 OTA access point help

hi all, got a probem here that seems to been doin my head in over the last few days. basically i bought a brand new locked to tmobile N97, im a virgin customer.. now, i'm wanting to do a firmware upgrade.. due to having an old **bleep** laptop that only has 248mb of ram i cant d the upgrade via nokia pc suite so my only other option is OTA.. right, so, i dial *#0000# then go to options, then check for updates... up pops a message saying a need to define an access point, ok.. not understanding it much i try and manually add some stuff myself, to no avail... then i do some forum posting and manage to get these settings: Server Name Nokia Server ID Nokia Server password firmupservpass Access point [select your preferred AP] Host address https://dms.update.nokia.com/dms/omadm Port 443 User name nokiams DM password nokiamspass Allow configuration Yes Auto accept all requests Yes but... that hasnt solved my problem, when entered and i try to connect to do the upgrade i get a connection error. my only option is this forum, its a nokia fone and a nokia forum i cant get my head round it as i can use the internet n my fone brilliantly, surely the internet and the OTA access point are the same thing?

To add an access point select settings-connectivity-destinations-Access point , Automatically search for available access points ?, select yes and choose access point. Then go into Internet and set the priorities to WLAN number 1 T-Mobile number 2 etc
Good Luck
PS Nokia Software Updater should still work on computer, even with low memory or weak internet , just a bit slower.

Access Point Help

I have 3 1131AG access points that i am setting up in my office building. I would like to setup each ap in such a way that if a user is connected wirelessly that can "roam" throughout the building, and if they get dropped off, once they are in range again to any of the 3 ap's they will connect automatically. What do I need to do in order to make this happen?

As for security, the simplest most secure method I can suggest to you would be WPA2-PSK. Use a very strong Pre-Shared key, 10 character, alpha numeric and special character with AES encryption. Unless you have a radius server, then you could set up PEAP.
The only way I can think of setting up notification would be using SNMP traps.

How to detect a Wireless Internet access point (Legally)

When I am using my new Macbook Pro at a hotel that has an open and free wireless network, what do I do to note that it is there? What do I bring up to be able connect to it?
I was just at a hospital that friends (there) told me had open and free local wireless access but I could find nothing from the Airport icon/window.
Normally, at home, I am connecting through my Airport Extreme which, in turn, is connected to the DSL Router. Once I leave home, that icon, on the batr at the top of the screen, is greyed out.
MacBook Pro 2.16 dual-core Mac OS X (10.4.7) Airport Extreme

Frobozz,
You can control (somewhat) the behavior of wireless connectivity through the Network preference pane (in System Preferences), under Airport. In general, with the default settings, the computer will keep track of all of the networks that you connect to and will re-connect to these automatically. When an unknown open network is available, the computer should ask if you want to join it.
If you know that you are in the vicinity of an open wireless network, select the Airport (antenna) icon in the menu bar and the name of the network should be selectable. If there is nothing showing then perhaps the airport card is turned off or needs to be coaxed back to life by re-booting. If you want another method of checking for wireless networks you could download a widget such as Airport Radar from <http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/>.

Can my iBook G4 work on Wireless A Access Point?

Is there anyway, aftermarket, via USB add on or something else that I can use to modify my iBook G4 to make it work on a Wireless A band network?
Can't find anything about this on the internet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mike

WAG160N - setting as Access Point; help needed

Hi all, I have a WAG160N router currently acting as my main router and a spare Technicolor TG58n. I want to use one of them as a router extension but 1) not sure if it matters which way round, and then 2) how to do it!..
Also, if it helps/ is relevant, I do have a Homeplug in the lounge, where I want to put the router extension (going into a Gigabite switch, out to the TV, Blu-Ray and Amp). Not sure if plugging the extension router into this is worth it?
Thanks for all your help guys....

Hi there, Dean. It may be best to let the Linksys router act as a second router. You may refer to this link, http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=785463d9ecaf4cac84aed245b08d615f_3733.xml&pid=80&r...
Just use the LAN to WAN steps.
By the way, check if the Homeplug works directly behind the router. If it does, then it should work while connected to the Gigabit switch that's in turn wired to the Linksys router.
Hope that helps.

AirPort Extreme used as a wired/wireless access point at same time?

Can the gigabit ethernet ports (wired connection) on the AirPort Extreme be used at the same time as the wireless-N connection when it is installed to a switch on an existing network as an access point? Will it still broadcast simultaneous Wireless-N dual band signals?
If both are yes, then do you have any other information regarding the cofiguration? Or helpful links that may help me? Thank You.

I have not yet purchased an airport extreme or even tried this. I have an existing network with a simultaneous wireless-N dual band router feeding a main switch. From the main switch I have cat5e wired gigabit connections to 4 PC's then two cat5e cables, each going to a small switch at seperate media centers.
I have one area that I have a single cat5e wire that can not get the wireless signal from the existing router. In addition to the wireless signal problem, I could use a couple extra gigabit ethernet connections to this same area, but can't pull any new cat5's to it.
I was told I needed to install a multi-gigabit-port wireless-N access point or install another switch with a single port wireless-N access point connected to it. As I looked into this, the dedicated wireless-N access points are wireless-N dual band but do not broadcast them simultaneously (it's either/or).
So I was wondering if I would benefit in any way by using the AirPort Extreme instead of the dedicated wireless access point recommended, and if it will give me what I need plus a simultaneous dual band wireless-N connection to the area? I don't know why the IT didn't recommend installing another router like I'm thinking? Don't know if it will even work? If it is a good idea or not? Don't want any conflict or networking problems to have to deal with just because I didn't listen and/or got the wrong item? What do you think?

Question about Access Point

Hello
In my work, we have two WAP4410N Wireless-N Access Point with Power Over Ethernet, but ¿how many users support each access point? And, somebody knows how I can configure the two access point to be viewed as one in all laptops? Normally, the laptops found access point 1 and acces point 2 but, somebody says me I can configure them as if they are one.
Thanks

Eliana,
The rule of thumb is a typical Ap can handle 20 users each, but the actual capacity could be more or less, alot of it depends on the traffic the users are generating and the bands/protocols.
for example if you are using 802.11g @ 54mbps, in reality your getting roughly 36 mbps of actual throughput, so then you have 20 users each using 100k of bandwidth which is about 2mb of traffic, you could handle more, but if you have 10 users that are pulling 1.5mbps then your cumlative traffic is 15mbps; so load is traffic dependant. Retries and other issues can affect this as well but are hard to calculate.
Also make sure the 2 access points you setup are on different channels.
Null or limited connectivity?? do you mean low signal strength or no network access?
Hope this helps.

Do I need a router or access point / bridge?

Hi. We have a MS small bus server with a software firewall. It does dhcp and routes traffic so we don't need the router part of the router.
Wireless N access is needed. Will a DAP 1522 (Wireless N access point / switch) offer the same wireless performance as a Linksys wireless N router?
I just bought the DAP access point and am getting 100-130 mb/s with a strong signal. Would the router work better with its giant antennae?
Nick

DAP 1522 is a good acess point. It lets you connect up to 4 Ethernet-enabled devices such as set top boxes, game consoles, or computers to an existing Wi-Fi network for on-demand broadcast, online gaming, or media streaming throughout the home.
With dual-band wireless capabilities, the DAP-1522 is ideal for wireless HD video streaming and gaming applications because entertainment content can be sent over the less crowded 5GHz band.
The DAP-1522 can also be used to create a new 802.11n wireless network using its Access Point feature. Simply connect it to an existing wired or wireless router, and you'll enjoy greater range and data speeds in seconds.
