WRT1900AC Guest Network connection time limit

I think this is a fresh topic.
I have searched for this, but can't find any prior topics.
I upgraded from a Cisco branded E4200 (v1) to a Linksys WRT1900AC.
I have noticed that the guest network for the 1900AC kicks devices off after a period of time I have not managed to determine, despite them not being disconnected from the network. The device will simply tell me that a hotspot is detected and asks me to sign in. I have to open the browser and enter the password again. This is particularly annoying for work devices on the guest network that use VPN, as I have to get that running as well.
The E4200 I had before kept guests connected as long as they were on the network; only disconnecting them or taking them out of range for more than a day required me to supply the password again.
Is this expected behaviour? I'd prefer not to be repeatedly challenged for the guest password for devices that remain connected, just like I could with the E4200.
I use the 5GHz network for all my permanently connected devices ( a mixture of fixed and dynamic IP's) and leave guests and my work devices to the guest network on 2.4GHz (all dynamic IP's). I have things spaced out well in my home as I had run into issues with interference caused to my Sonos system, which I have eliminated by moving my 2.4GHz connected equipment. The physical layout is the same from when I had my E4200 and my 1900AC, so I'm confident it isn't a physical issue.
My 2.4GHz network has its SSID hidden to discourage people from using it.

How many total guests allowed did you set on your router? Make sure that the total number of devices connecting to the Guest network would match the total guests allowed.

HT4528 network connection time out

Whenever i am trying to sync applications from latop to iphone i am getting the message. Network connection time out.

Not sure if this will help or not... but is the iPhone and your laptop on the same wireless network when you try this? Does that wireless network have a good connection?
If nothing else works... try hard-syncing (plugging in) your iPhone to your laptop, and then start up iTunes.
I hope this helps... let me know if it does/doesn't!

HT201210 i keep getting a error msg saying network connection time out.

Im trying to updat my iphone to new software and keep getting a error msg saying network connection times out. Plz help!!!!

Thank you for the reply.
Yes, this error message is in regard to my MacBook Pro. The reason it's filed here under iPhone is because the error message appeared again when I tried to updae iOS, again (and I wasn't allowed to because I need more room on my Startupdisk), so I simply clicked on the link taking me here to Apple Communities.   And yes I have already empited my trash (I did this each time I cleared old docs off my compuer, so this wasn't a solution for today).
Might you have any other ideas?   I am really at a loss......
Also, where is the Startup disk located? I can't find any folder labeled "startup disk".   Am I supposed to find this folder and delete files from it?

2.1.5 Guest Network Connectivity

Has anyone see guest network connectivity issues on Oracle VM 2.1.5 Server? This seems to happen occasionally on many of our boxes - seems to be guests that have been up over 100 days. We found two fixes to restore network connectivity -
1. Reboot guest
2. Save/Restore Guest.
There is no traffic on the guest however the HV seems fine. Other guests on the same hypervisor seem fine as well. Just completely random. Guest OS doesn't seem to be the problem since we've had different OS with the same problem. It seems like the bridge just fails. We are using bonding and vlans on the HV. No error messages in any logs. The Link Detected: yes is still on in the failed guest - no packets can pass and on the physical switch port the MAC for the Guest is gone.
Has anyone else seen this? We haven't seen this in 2.2 yet but we haven't had too many guests up on 2.2 for that long. We've had two guests this week drop off the network.
I've opened a SR on metalink as well.

First I want to make sure I understand what you are trying to do. You have, for lack of a better word, "trusted" clients on the AEBS on the main wireless network and "untrusted" clients on the AEBS's Guest network.
You want to be able to access the untrusted clients, from the trusted. And you checked the "Allow guests network clients to communicate....." box.
If you check out the help in the AU for that box it says:
"If you want to allow guest computers to communicate with each other, make sure sharing services are set up on the client computers. Select the wireless device in AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup. Click AirPort in the toolbar, click Guest Network, and then select “Allow guest network clients to communicate with each other.”
I would take this check box to mean that intercommunication between clients connecting on the guest network is possible. Not to make a "firewall" like rule saying clients on the trusted side can talk to clients on the untrusted side.
I wonder if the previous version of firmware had the bug (that allowed the communication) was correct in 7.5.2?
Maybe a call to AppleCare is warranted to find out?
Also, if you feel this is an actual bug, then you can also sign up on ADC (its free) and file a bug.

Why does my network connection time out when downloading iphone 4 software update?

Why does my network connection time out when trying to download iphone4 software update?

I'm having the same problem too. I cannot sync or update over wireless or wired connections ever since I installed the most recent iTunes update. iTunes goes through the complete OS 5.0.1 download only to tell me the connection has timed out just when it seems ready to install. I've since reinstalled iTunes, I've ejected and done hard restarts on both my problem devices. I've disabled anti-virus, anti-malware, and firewall. No change in outcome except that, after doing all this, my final attempt to simply sync my 1st Gen iPad led to iTunes crashing and being automatically closed by windows just before finishing the final step. Is this a cruel joke, because I'm certain I can hear iTunes laughing at me for wasting so much time on this.

Airport Guest Network - Connects but no internet

I'm using and Airport Extreme Base Station (A1354), software version 7.6.4. The secure networks are fine and work perfectly to serve up an internet connection.
However, the guest network (which is currently set to no password) connects just fine but no internet is provided. I've tried everything I can click on to get it to work but nada. I've rebooted, naturally, as well as removed the guest network and created new ones with new names and passwords as well as no password versions.
Can anyone help?

The most common cause of Guest Network issues is trying to connect the AirPort Extreme to a modem/router or gateway type of device, when it needs to connect to a simple modem. A simple modem will always have only one Ethernet port.
Click on the Network tab and check the setting for Router Mode. If it is set to "Off (Bridge Mode)" you have the AirPort connected to a modem/router or gateway type of device that is both a modem and router in the same package.
The Guest Network cannot operate correctly in the "Off (Bridge Mode)" setting......but at the same time this is the correct setting for your AirPort Extreme to work with your modem/router or gateway device. Kind of a Catch 22.
If the Guest Network feature is important to you. ask your ISP if they can provide you with a simple modem.....not a modem/router or gateway. Or, ask your ISP if it is possible to reconfigure the modem/router to act as a only a modem. If it is, the Guest Network feature will work correctly once the device has been setup to operate only as a modem.

Unable to Create Guest Network with Time Capsule

Time Capsule version: 7.6.1, AirPort Utility: 6.0(600.92), Cabel Modem Ambit U10C018, iMac w/ Mac OS X (10.7.3)
I have the Time Capsule installed as the only router. The Network settings, Router Mode is: DHCP and NAT. I am unable to find any tab or button for "Advanced" that will allow me to set up a guest network. I am pretty sure that cable modem does not function as a router because when I changed the Time Capsule to Bridge I was unable to make any wireless connections.
Any help woudl be greatly appreciated, but I will be away from the computer for the next 3 hours.

We will assume that your Time Capsule is not one of the 1st Generation models, which did not have Guest Network capability.
But, if your Time Capsule is a few years old, or you purchased it from another user....you may have a single band version of the product....which cannot offer the Guest Network option.
If your Time Capsule has the capability....here is how to set up the Guest Network
Open AirPort Utility and click on the Time Capsule icon that appears
Click Edit in the next window that appears
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the window
Enter a check mark next to Enable Guest Network
Edit the name of the network as you wish
Select Wireless Security...either WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal would be good
Enter a password for the Guest Network and verify
Click Update at the lower right

Create Guest Network on Time Capsule

How to I create / establish a Guest Network on my Time Capsule for guests to get internet access only? (I.e., I want guests to be able to log on wirelessly, but I don't want them to be able to access files on my Time Capsule hard drive.)
I have read some forums and the manual, and I do not see the Guest tab in the AirPort Utilities set-up menu. There was one post about no Guest Network being possible in Bridge Mode, but I don't know what this means or how to change it if I do happen to be in Bridge Mode.
Basically, I would like to start from scratch and establish a new Guest Network ... Any help?

This information indicates that your Time Capsule is in Bridge Mode because AirPort Utility detected that you may have another router or gateway ahead of the Time Capsule on your network.
This would be a device that is a combination modem and router, usually with 3-4 ethernet ports on the back although some devices have only one port.
I would recommend that you leave the Time Capsule set where it is if everything else seems to be working correctly on your network. Unfortunately, the Guest Network is not available when the Time Capsule is configured in Bridge Mode.
If you want to try another setting *+that may or may not work.+*..
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Change the setting for Connection Sharing to "Share a public IP address"
Update to save changes. AirPort Utility may or may not let you do this. If it does, you'll need to click "ignore" when you see the error messages about a Double NAT on your network.
Double NAT means that you will have two devices both trying to act as routers on your network, which can cause conflicts and improper network operation. I'm not recommending that you do this, but some users can get away with it.
No guarantees here. Up to you.

Guest Networking with Time Capsule - bridge mode?

Hi, hopefully someone can help.
I'm trying to set up guest networking with my time capsule but it's currently set up in bridge mode so it wont let me.
When I try it in public IP address mode it says 'The DHCP range you have entered conflicts with the WAN IP address of your Airport wireless device'
I'm completely new to networking and have no idea what most of these terms mean, despite googling them all!
Can anyone advise on what I need to do to get it all set up?
Thanks in advance, any help much appreciated!!
Andy

Is there no way I could switch off part of the router so it just becomes a modem (or are they completely different things)?
It might be possible to convert the gateway to function as a simple bridge only modem, but that would involve checking with the support folks for the device. I doubt that your service provider will provide any assistance with this, because they will likely claim that this type of configuration is not supported.
So, look to see who actually manufactured the device and check with their online forum or support site to see if the conversion to a simple bridge only modem is possible.
You don't indicate whether you have cable of DSL service, and that will of course affect things as well. If you need to go to a simple modem, the best choice is always a device offered by your service provider, so that you will be supported in the event of Internet connection difficulties.
If you try an off-the-shelf modem and have any problems, your service provider will offer little or no support. Often, you can get a free modem from your provider in return for a commitment of a year's service. Might be worth checking that out.

After an upgrade, that profile is commonly du to firewall blocking.
Do you have any other firewalls even if you are not using them?
Have you ever had Norton even if you have uninstalled it? Norton is commonly preloaded on new PCs.
An old Norton can block iTunes if it has been uninstalled.
Are you using an administrator account? iTunes doesn't seem to think you are. It should not be a problem running from a limited user account. That is what I do except when I am installing programs.
Normally TLS 1.0 would be enabled, but I don't think this is the cause of the problem. It can be enabled from Internet Options>>Advanced tab.

ITunes 8 - Cannot connect to iStore - "network connection time out"

I've been running V7 with no problems. Updated to 8 (due wanting to use ipod Touch). Cannot connect to the iStore (everything else works fine). Receive the following message "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The network connection timed out."
I've read other posts and tried the various suggestions i.e. switching off Norton, flushing the DNS etc. but still have the problem. Just de-installed iTunes and re-installed but still the same problem.
Does anyone have any idea what may be wrong ?
Any help much appreciated.
Regards, ocy.
P.S. My internet connection is working fine.

Hi,
I've run through the suggestions. The internet setting were ok, deleted itunes.exe in the Norton Internet Security firewall settings and attempted to add it back BUT it will not for whatever reason. Below is the diagnostics as requested.
I don't understand why v7 worked from day 1 and I had no problems, installed v8 and all these problems arise, there is someting wrong somewhere.

ITunes Match network connection time out error

I have just signed up to itunes match but at the end of step 1 I get a network connection error at the 'Waiting for apple to deliver your results' stage every time.
I have tried everything suggested on forums regaring unticking proxy server settings and turning off firewall but nothing works.
I have run diagnostics on itunes and it is coming up with two anomolies. It is giving me a 'cannot make secure connection to itunes store' error although I can connect to itunes store I am wondering whether this is causing the problem with itunes match.
It is also stating in the diagnostics report that 'current user is not an administrator' although I am logged on with an adminstrator account on windows 7 64bit.
If anyone can point me in the right direction to sort this problem i would be very grateful.

Great thanks. I am using NOD32 so hopefully that will be the culprit. I will try this later when i get home as you have to restart the PC in safe made to uninstall ESET and I can't do that over a VPN link.
I was thinking of getting rid of ESET anyway as it is a bit cpu hungry. I was thinking of just using the windows firewall and AV. Did you reinstall ESET after itunes match worked? And did it still continue to work if you did?
Sorry to bombard you with questions!
Thanks again.

HELP ME I can'tdownload from itunes for + 20min. Network Connection times

I need help. I still have stinking dial up. It takes a long time to download a T.V. show from Itunes. Suddenly I can't download something for more than 20min(about) from itunes. If i'm not using the computer the network connection will run out. It always gives different number errors why the network connectiion timed out. I have changed all my preferences and they all don't let the computer sleep, disconnect from the internet and so on.. It still stops downloading though. Any help would be helpful!!
I have tiger.

That's why iTunes requires a broadband connection now for buying and streaming music etc.
