Wre54g w/ switch to provide wired access?

My parents live in an area w/ no broadband but the Inn across the street has a T1 w/ wifi and they've worked out an agreement that allows my parents to use the wifi. They've been using a WRE54G to expand the signal in their house since they are on the very edge of the signal area. This has worked succesfully for over a year. We discovered recently that by hooking an ethernet cable to the port on the WRE54G that they were able to hook up wired devices. Now the problem is that they need to hook up more than one wired device. I was wondering if hooking a switch to the ethernet port on the WRE54G is a fesible solution since I have an extra switch laying around. Has anyone done this?

OP here
Heres the setup
Inn WRT54G on a TI line setup with WEP encryption
House WRE54G default auto config
1. Connected a laptop to the ethernet port on the WRE54G ip was issued via the WRT54G and was able to access the internet without entering any type of WEP code.
2. Connected another Wireless router to the ethernet port on the WRE54G and was able to set up a completely different wifi network with no encryption and was able to access the internet.
So you still gonna say that ports only for configuration?

  • How do I use Airport Extreme to create wired access point on wireless network?

    Bit of an odd situation. I just went from cable to DSL at home and the modem moved from right by my computer to upstairs.
    Trouble is, there's no real easy way to get a cable from the modem upstairs to my X-box (sans wireless connector) downstairs.
    I could buy the wireless adaptor for the X-Box, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to spend any more money.
    I have my airport extreme, and I was hoping I could use it to create a wired access point on the network, recieving the signal from the wireless modem upstairs and allowing me to plug in the X-Box.
    Is this possible? If so, how? I've been through the config panel about a dozen times, but can't figure out what combination to set up.
    Thanks.

    Will it work if I use the express to create the network?
    Yes, providing that you have an 802.11n version of the AirPort Express and the Express has been configured to "Allow this network to be extended".
    Then, the AirPort Extreme can be configured to "extend" the Express network. When you do this, the AirPort Extreme will provide more wireless coverage and the LAN Ethernet ports are enabled, so you can connect an Ethernet device.
    This will not be a "normal" Ethernet connection. It will only work as well as the wireless "hop" between the Express and Extreme allow.
    For best results and performance, a wired connection through the hole in the wall is always best. If you decide to do this, you will need the "new" AirPort Express with both a WAN and LAN port on the device. But, you could try wireless first to see if it will meet your goals before you reach for the tools.

  • Possible to use AE as bridge to provide wired connection?

    I have an AT&T U-verse 3801HGV modem. It's a 802.11g wireless modem. I want to replace the wireless part with an Airport Time Capsule 2TB. This will provide 802.11ac. In order to run a PC and an AVAYA VOIP phone across the house, I'm wondering if I can setup an Airport Extreme to receive the wireless signal from the Time Capsule and thus provide wired ethernet ports. I'm not trying to extend the network, just to pick up the wireless signal and provide wired ports.
    Is this possible? Any tips on how to set this up?
    Thanks.

    I'm wondering if I can setup an Airport Extreme to receive the wireless signal from the Time Capsule and thus provide wired ethernet ports. I'm not trying to extend the network, just to pick up the wireless signal and provide wired ports.
    The Extreme must be set up to "extend a wireless network". Configured this way, the Ethernet ports are enabled...and since the Extreme will be in bridge mode in this type of setup, all of the ports will behave as LAN ports, so you will have a total of 4 ports available.
    Keep in mind that you will not have true Ethernet speeds at the AirPort Extreme when you do this, as the ports will only be as fast as the wireless connection between the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme.
    In other words, you are in effect, connecting devices using wireless, even though they might be physically connected to the Ethernet ports on the AirPort Extreme.

  • Guest-wired access connections drop every 1- 2 minutes

    I have an interesting problem.
    My connections to the guest wired access drop consistanly every 1 -2 minutes. There are no drops in the mobility between the WiSM and the 4402 anchor in the DMZ.  DHCp is served from the 4402 DMZ controller as well as thier authentication.
    When a user connects to the guest wired access vlan some times they obtain a 169.X.X.X address and after several tries they get the proper 192.168.x.x addres. The user get thier IP address and get the redirect login. They maintain thier internet connection for only 1 - 2 minutes.
    DHCP on the 4402 is set for 4hours
    Any thoughts ?   
    Mike

    Ouch, the forums ate my formatting for that first post!
    Thanks for the reply Ray. I should mention that this is a shared house, not a family home, so I cannot always access the devices. I'm the one on the ethernet connection and I've gone into my ethernet adaptor's settings to change my IP address to a static number just below that of the DHCP range whilst leaving DHCP enabled for everyone else. After restarting my computer the connection's still dropping.
    Haven't had a chance to reset the hub yet, if that's necessary, as other people are using the connection at the moment.
    I do have the admin password for the hub but I'm under the impression a static IP address would have to be set from the devices themselves which I can't access - or can I use Home Network > Devices, check "Always use this IP address" then disable DHCP?

  • Provide the access to 3rd party in internal network? Needs some Design suggestions?

    Hi Folks,
    I have to provide the access to 3rd party in the internal network to repair their server...
    How can we provide them the access? Needs some input as design perspective and working solution?
    Thanks,
    Regards,
    MS

    Well I would argue that if you distrust the remote user so much that you should seriously reconsider letting them work on equipment on your network at all.. Actually in that case, "watching" them during a remote desktop sharing session is actually a more secure solution as you can validate the actions they are taken are limited to those necessary to perform the tasks at hand. When I have had to work on systems in environments that were required to be secure to meet regulatory requirements, I was required to provide a step-by-step list of activities before hand and my performance of only those activities and verification of the expected outcome was done by staff of the client I was supporting.
    If you want a purely network-based solution then put a temporary access list on the server's default gateway for the period during which the remote maintenance is ongoing allowing it to communicate only to/from the remote access VPN gateway.
    A more sustainable setup would be to host the server in a DMZ on a private VLAN with an access list (or default setting) on the DMZ interface of the firewall that prohibits the server from initiating communication to the inside network.

  • How to provide View access for all the projects to an employee?

    We’ve a requirement to provide view access to certain employees to all the projects. They are supposed to have only view access to the project information (HTML Interface). We don’t want to assign these employees to the projects.
    In this regard we created a menu that gives users only view access to project information. We assigned the employee/user the profile option “PA: Cross Project User View” and set the value to “Yes”. However the user is only able to view Project Overview information. The moment I assign the user to a project (non scheduled member), the user is able to view all project information.
    We’ve tried bouncing the apache post assignment of the profile option to the user, but no luck. Is there something else required to be done? Why is the profile option not working? Please advice.
    Note: We don’t want to give the user Project Authority as it by default gives the user rights to modify information in the project.
    Any other suggestions to achieve the said functionality is most welcome.

  • SRP526W to forward or provide VPN access for clients

    Hi,
    we are having a SRP526W here which replaced a cheap, simple router. Now we would like to set up the VPN-access for outside clients again. So far this was done by forwarding PPTP (TCP 1723 and GRE) to the Windows 2000 Routing and RAS-server inside the network.
    According to this post the SRP521W, and therefore I suppose as well the SRP526W, are not able to forward GRE: https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2093204
    Is there a way to provide VPN access for outside clients with this router? Maybe with L2TP (but then we would need to forward ESP) or IPSec (ESP and AH as far as I know)?
    If there is no solution we would need to replace this device again with a cheap, simple router which is able to forward GRE - as you can imagine, we would like to save Cisco from this shame.
    Kind regards
    Dominik

    Hi Dominik,
    It is not possible to use L2TP or PPTP from the SRP526 (This is only possible from the Ethernet WAN interface).  It is possible to set up an IPSec VPN or GRE tunnel from the SRP to a peer in the network.
    This might offer some guidance here.

  • K8N Neo2 Plat : how to switch the provided PCI Wifi card to access point mode ?

    in digicell, I can't click on "access point mode"...
    do some people have succeeded in turing the neo2 plat 54g into an access point ? If yes, how ?
    thks

    I also have downloaded the latest driver from the manufacturer of that wifi special card (code 2500 something if I remember well)
    have you found any way to configure it to access point mode, else than with DigiCell ?
    I think I will reinstall DigiCell one more time and reinstall it, I'm almost sure the problem is in it ;-)
    I already has problems seeing my Acrobat Suite and tells me I don't have the Reader, it already opens IE in stead of the default browser [but it's supposed to be that way, according toi MSI], and it didn't detect CoreCenter I ghad installed previously, until I reinstalled CoreCenter over itself ;-)

  • Help! I need to restrict wired access by time of day to limit XBOX 360 use

    AirPort Extreme N allows timed access restriction for wireless clients, but Apple bewilderingly decided not to make this feature available to "wired" clinents that access the network via ethernet cable. *This permits our teenagers to play XBOX all night long.* HELP! Which third-party vendor makes wired routers that I can use to restrict this access by time of day. NOTE: I will need a router that still supports AppleTalk over ethernet to keep my HP LaserJet working. I tried a LinkSys router but it killed the AppleTalk packets and wreaked havoc with print jobs sent to the HP. I also want to keep the AirPort Extreme N in the network and use it as the sole DHCP server (I specifically need its ability to reserve private IP addresses for some devices), so this complicates where in the network I place the third-party router. Where should this router be, if I need the AirPort Extreme N to serve as DHCP server, and do I need to change any other setting like bridge mode, etc? _I just can't believe Apple would only allow timed access restrictions for wireless clients._ Come on! Maybe this will be fixed in a firmware update?

    Thanks, Duane. I was just looking at the PDF instructions for this router, and it offers extensive control of wired time access by IP number.
    So: If I (1) put this Belkin device at the top of my network chain, between my cable modem and my AirPort Extreme; and I (2) turn off the DHCP server in the Belkin device but turn on the DHCP server in the AirPort router; and I (3) use the AirPort Extreme to assign a reserved IP adddress to the XBOX; and I (4) use this reserved IP address to restrict the XBOX access by time of day via the Belkin router software... Everthing will work OK?
    Seems awfully complicated. Basically, I would be using the Belkin router only as high-octane network switch -- one that permits timed access resrictions for devices at specific IP addresses (and handshakes with the cable modem to provide a unique MAC address to the cable company). Right?

  • Automatic switch over from wired ethernet connection to wireless (different internet networks)

    I have an Imac connect to 2 different internet service providers 1) a wired connection via ethernet giving a 10mbps download speed but unfortunatley the signal can randomly drop for a period of seconds, minutes or even hours, which I then have to manually disable the ethernet connection and switch to the wireless provider, a tedious task..
    I was wondering if there is a way whereby i can set the ethernet conection to automically switch to the wireless connection during the periods explained above?
    Thanks for your assictance.
    David

    OK, thanks for the update.
    Let's try to figure out which device is actually providing the PPPoE service. It will be either your modem or the AirPort Extreme router.
    Normally, the PPPoE connection service is established on the modem by using a web page for configuration. If you have setup the PPPoE service this way, then the AirPort Extreme must be set to Connect Using -- Ethernet.
    Please use your computer to check some settings as follows:
    Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup > Click the Internet icon
    Look for the Connect Using setting near the top of the page
    It will be set to either "Ethernet" or "PPPoE"
    Which setting do you see?
    Note...if you are still using OS 10.4.x as you indicate, this may not be the path to find the setup information. It may be in an older application on your computer called AirPort Admin Utility.
    Sorry, I can't remember much about 10.4.x, so you may need to look around a bit on your computer.

  • Need help finding wired access point or range extender?

    I currently have a EA6500 in a rather large home.  (4500 sq ft)   The router is on one side of the house and my office is on the other side of the house where wireless does not work well.   I am trying to use Samsung Tablet but the connection keeps dropping here.  when I move the tablet closer it works fine.
    Is there a range extender/access point I can purchase to use with the EA6500 where I can connect device via wired ethernet?
    If I connect range extender/access point to EA6500 router via wireless the signal in my office appears too weak to be extended properly?  I tried the RE1000 but was not successful.
    Please let me know if there is another product to try.
    Thank you.

    Was this extender working fine before and you’re trying to reconfigure its settings? In order for this to work properly, the wireless settings for the main router should be synchronized to it. After making sure that the wireless settings are synchronized, place the extender to an area in between the router and where you want to repeat the signal. If you will encounter connection problems after setting up the extender, you can reset the extender and reconfigure the settings. Make sure as well that the firmware is upgraded. For more info about setting up the range extender, you can refer to the following links:  What to do before manually setting up your range extender, Setting up the range expander without the installation CD, Getting to Know the WRE54G v3.

  • Wired Access with Networks OFF?

    When I make a wired connection to my TimeCapsule, I'm seeing other devices on the network even though I have Ethernet and Wi-Fi turned off. Is this normal?
    I am adding a new AE2 to my wired network (demoting the TimeCapsule 1st gen to switch/file server) and I was puzzled that my iMac was still seeing shared devices on the network (Time Capsule, server, other computers) when I was connecting via the WiFi Guest network. I had Ethernet turned off in the control panel and I checked that I was on the Guest network (172.16.x.x) but I was still seeing devices that were on my primary (10.0.1.x) network.
    I thought the Guest Networking function wasn't working but I finally traced it down to the wired connection. If I unplug the Ethernet cable, I have no shared devices, as expected. But as soon as I plug the cable back in I see other computers on the non-Guest network,even with Ethernet turned off. If I turn off both Ethernet and WiFi, I can still see my Time Capsule and Server. (The server is connected to the Time Capsule via the 10.0.1.x wireless network).
    I can see this as a 'feature' but it surprised me that I was able to access the TimeCapsule and networked devices even though Ethernet and Wi-Fi were turned off. I expected that with Ethernet and Airport turned off, my iMac would be not be connected to other network devices.  Is there some other protocol that Apple uses to maintain a connection over the wired connection to Airport devices?

    With reference to your concern after the firmware upgrade did you reset the router? After successful firmware upgrade you need to reset the Router. It is recommended to reset the router once. Steps to reset the router:
    Push the reset button on router for 30 seconds, turn off the router wait for 30 seconds and then power it on. Power light should blink when you perform the reset process.
    After reset, you should have reconfigured the router and would have checked the speed of the router..

  • Can I use Airport Express (1st gen.) as a wired access point to my wifi Network

    Guys
    I'm using 10.8.4 with the older 6.3 airport utility. I have a Airport Express A1084 (1st. Gen).
    I'm trying to use it, connected to my wireless network, but have a wired ethernet cable from the Airport Express connected to a device. I tried connecting via wire to another laptop to access the web and it doesn't work.
    Any ideas if I can even do this, or do I just buy a new Express Airport. I just want to extend the network using my wireless to a wired device, but don't want to run a cable, because of the distance.
    Thank you
    John

    Bob, I hope you can help me too.  I have 4th generation (? - the flat, square model that was recently replaced) Time Capsule/Airport that I bought to extend my Verizon DSL dry loop modem/wireless signal througout the house and to the guest house.  I now know that it cannot be achieved due to Apple negligence in informing customers that the capsule will only extend from another apple airport product. 
    My question:
    Should I connect it via ethernet to my DSL modem and create a new network, but use the SAME network name, passcodes, etc?  Will that Strengthen my existing wireless signal or will both machines butt heads and duke it out, so to speak?
    B/C, I did have two separate networks going for about a year, different names for each network, and suddenly, the wireless part of the Verizon DSL modem died, and Verizon replaced the entire modem with the Actiontec modem.  So I am concerned that reconnecting the Time Capsule/Airport may damage teh Verizon modem, if that is why just the wireless part of the previous modem failed. 
    Suffice it to say, am very disappointed in the Time Capsule/Airport.  It replaced an older, bigger Western Digital external hard drive that was so easy to use and reliable; am still using it, but it has no wireless signal boost capability, so I purchased the Time Capsule/Airport. 
    Thank you for your help.
