WRT310N wireless/lan ports

hi community i bought a wrt310n yesterday and experiencing a strange behaviour. i did set up a dyndns at my parents house listening at port 6666. when i use my notebook with wireless i can access the page without problems. the desktop, which is connected via ethernet to the router can not open the page. i couldn't find any settings that i should have done wrong in the router setup or that differs from the wireless settings. notebook with wirless -> xxx.dyndns.org:6666 works perfectly desktop with ethernet -> xxx.dyndns.org:6666 doesnt work I have to say that i am not running any port blocking software like firewall or virus scanner on the desktop. that can be excluded! Thanks for help and advices!

Well try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!!

Open the setup page of router using 192.168.1.1 then put in the password as admin...all you need to do is do the wireless settings such as Radio Band Frequency to Standard 20 MHZ frequency,channel to 11.
Also,the advanced wireless settings to Frag thres=2306 & Rts thres=2307 & then uncheck a Block Anonymous Internet Requests & it will definately work!!!

I have Fios. I have the TC connected via ethernet to the Fios router. TC WAN port ethernet to Fios Lan port. Then I just have the TC create a wireless network that is different than the Fios wireless network. How do I set up an Airport Extreme to the TC?

The Airport Extreme is a 4th Gen unit. I just want to keep the TC wireless name to go further through my house.

The Ethernet connection will be from one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme.
Then you can use AirPort Utility - Manual Setup to configure the AirPort Extreme as follows:
Click the Wireless tab located just below the row of icons
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network (Not "extend a wireless network" as many users incorrectly think)
Wireless Network Name = Same name as your TC network
No check mark needed next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Radio Mode = Automatic
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Same setting as the TC network
Wireless Password = Same setting as the TC network
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon
Click the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save settings and restart the entire network
Computers on the TC network will now be able to move to the area where the AirPort Extreme is located and not have to "switch" networks. This is known as a "roaming" network.

Wireless is coming through a LAN port

Just got broadband, and there tech support has done something to my computer that now my wireless signal comes through a lan port and not the wireless port.
Anyone know how to fix this?

The whole story is a little bit confusing for me. How you know that you are on WLAN now?
If you are on WLAN remove the LAN cable from the laptop and test connection to the Internet. Otherway disable WLAN card using FN+F8 key combination (or just using WLAN switch) and connect LAN cable again. You should be able to use Internet as before.
Maybe you have LAN and WLAN connectivity at the same time and you are a little bit confused now.

LAN ports not working but wireless is fine

Just purchased AE to use with my Zoom comcast modem (no router function on the modem). The wireless function is working flawlessly but I am not able to get IP addresses to hardware attached to the AE via the LAN ports. I've cycled and reset until I'm blue in the face! Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

There are no settings to check. The Ethernet ports are enabled by default when the AirPort is operating correctly.
As a last resort, you could reset the AirPort back to default settings and then set it up again if you have the time. Hold in the reset button on the back of the AirPort for 8-10 seconds and release, than allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart. Then, set it up again and check the Ethernet ports.
I assume that you have checked to make sure that you have a good Ethernet cable.

W7 PCs on router LAN port can not find Wireless connected OJ Pro 8500A Plus following router upgrade

My Broadband Supplier has replaced my internet router with a new one with dual N band Wireless and GigE LAN ports. The 8500A printer has been successfully WPA wirelessly connected and works fine with a wireless connected Sony windows 7 laptop and Apple devices. However neither of the Dell LAN connected windows 7 desktop PCs or the same Sony laptop when connected to a LAN port on the router can find the printer. I have tried reinstalling the printer software with the latest version from the HP site OJ8500_A910_1315 and the installation fails as network environment checker can not find the printer. I have run the HP network diagnostics with both firewalls in the PC and router disabled with no success. The LAN itself seems to be working OK as the PCs can see each other, exchange files and and can access the internet. The router has been checked by the broadband supplier technical uupport. The printer is visible as a network connected device in Windows explorer so you would expect the HP software to see it. Is the only option to fix the printers IP address and use that in the installion procedure or are there other settings I can alter to get the HP network environment checker to work properly? Thoughts would be appreciated.
This question was solved.

In the router settings look for "wireless isolation", "AP isolation" or the like and make sure it is DISABLED. This setting disables communication between the wired and wireless clients.

When using an airport extreme to extend a wireless modern, will the lan ports work?

When using an airport extreme to extend a wireless modern, will the lAN ports work?

The AirPort Extreme can extend the wireless signal from another Apple wireless router. When it does, the Ethernet ports on the extending AirPort router are enabled.
Apple's "extend" feature appears to be a proprietary Apple function, so it would be extremely unlikely that an AirPort Extreme...or any other Apple router....could extend a 3rd party router product wirelessly....if that is really what you are asking here.

Can an AEBS extend a wireless network and provide 3 LAN ports?

I have just reorganised my wireless network by replacing an AEBS GigE (MC053B/A) {AEBS1} with an AEBS Sim Dual-Band II (MC340B/A) {AEBS2}. Whereas before I used an AE G {AE1} to provide a dedicated G wireless network and bridged it via LAN to AESB1, which was configured for 5GHz N only, the new setup is all taken care by AEBS2.
The setup is basically this:
AEBS2:
- Internet gateway with shared IP from the cable modem.
- all client wireless connections are made to AEBS2, no other base station will accept client wi-fi.
- provides separate 5GHz N and 2.4GHz B/G networks with WPA2 authentication
- performs all DHCP assignment
- uses MAC address access control
- allows networks to be extended
AE1:
- set to 'join' the G network for AirTunes
*AE N* {AE2} :
- set to extend N network but no wireless clients: this enables the LAN port to be used to connect to my FreeSat HD TV's ethernet port, for upcoming BBC iPlayer support.
*Wi-Fi clients:*
- Various client devices all connect via N or G to AEBS2
This all works just fine.
The problem I have is with AEBS1. I have a Mac Min Core Duo that only has G wireless. I would like to configure AEBS1 to extend the N network so that its LAN ports can be used by the Mac Mini (and turn off the Mini's wi-fi). The idea is similar to what I've done with AE2: no wireless clients, just LAN.
I've restored AEBS1 to default settings and then configured it to 'extend' the N network with no wireless clients.
While testing I find that AEBS1 connects to the N network but only for 70 seconds, it then disconnects for 31 seconds, after which it reconnects. This cycle is predictable and I've monitored it from an iMac PINGing AEBS1's wireless IP address while following the ethernet (en0) status in the Console app on a LAN attached MacBook.
The MacBook gets its DHCP assigned IP address from AEBS2 when AEBS1's connection is up, but the IP address is dropped as soon as AEBS1 drops the connection.
The MacBook quite happily connects when I tested it using AE2's LAN port.
So either AEBS1 has a problem, or AEBS2, or both.
Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Thanks Bob. I've read extensively here of the limits of 5GHz, but I've not experienced these as my house doesn't have solid (concrete) floors or (many brick) walls. I also have the main WiFi point upstairs and I've put AEBS2 upside down on its 'head' near the floor.
I'm able to get good Wi-Fi throughout the house on both N and G. The Apple TV, which is under the TV and near AE2 gets good N connectivity. Mainly, the worse WiFi device is the Mac Mini and it always has been.
Since AE2 can join/extend the 5GHz N network and it is downstairs, I think there is some problem with with how AEBS1 tries to extend 5GHz N networks. BTW AEBS1 is on my desk and AEBS2 is under the desk about 1m away.
For the moment I've set AEBS2 to "802.11n only (5 GHz) - 802.11b/g/n" and have AEBS1 set to extend the 2.4GHz b/g/n network. At least the Mac Mini will get 2.4GHz N some of the time and more consistent connectivity all of the time.

I want to know if Ican connect a print server (to print with several wireless printers) to the new airport express given that it has wan and lan ports. Tks!

The print server that I want to connect allows me to choose among 2 usb printers and 01 serail port printer. It needs to be connected to a router through a lan port. Given that the all new airport express now come with a wan and a lan port, i want to know if I can connect this device to the airport express.

You're welcome.
Beware that while USB print servers are commonly available and inexpensive, finding one with a serial port is more of a challenge. Apple Stores in the US do not sell them. Call the iStore before going there.
If you need recommendations for obtaining a print server with a serial port, let me know.

Wanting to cascade 2 Linksys WRT310N wireless routers

What would be the most likely settings for cascading a pair of WRT310N wireless routers together so that 1) all computers on the network operate as if it's a LAN, 2) all retain gigabit 'wired' capability, and 3) both routers can also be used as wireless access points (or one as a range extender to the original hooked to the modem)?
I've tried it via the AskLinksys directions with little success. I had initial success in briefly having internet on the 2nd router-equipped computer (via wired) but had no access to other computers on the LAN (i.e. could not share iTunes libraries nor do file transfers via Appletalk). Trying to follow the directions and switch the second router to 192.168.2.1 leaves the 2nd router unable to be reaccessed via browser to adjust settings. It also doesn't appear to achieve anything. I have better luck with router 2 at 192.168.1.2 in that at least you can access and adjust settings on router 2 thereafter but... after the brief success in having internet, I've not been able to get internet access on the computers on the 2nd router since (I did happen to have the 3 Macs notice each other but the 2nd pair of Macs on router 2 couldn't surf the internet).
The running tally of devices intended to be included in the network:
3 Macs (iMac and 2 mini's) -- 1 in one room with a PC, the others in another room together with a Wii.
1 PC (running XP)
1 XBox 360 (upstairs, sharing router access with the iMac and PC)
1 Nintendo Wii (sharing router 2 with the 2 Mac mini's via wireless)
I also have a pair of Gigabit switches (5 port) I am hoping to include in the network at some point in the event I need room to expand the wired access. At the moment though I'm more curious about getting both routers enabled and working. I want to have one be the primary router (connected to an Arris Telephony Cable Modem via Comcast as well as the iMac and PC and an XBox360) and the other work as a switch for additional computers (2 Mac mini's) in another room as well as a wireless access point/range extender (set forth for wireless connection to a Wii).
Both WRT310N's are running the latest firmware available (v1.0.07 build 014-LS-HNDreplace_date("Dec. 1, 2008");Dec 1, 2008).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

1. Connect your modem to Router #1 on it's Internet Port, configure the Router #1 for initial internet access(I hope it is already)...
2. Do not connect Router 1 to Router 2...Just connect a computer to Router #2 on Port1 and access router #2, change the LAN/Local IP Address of Router #2 to 192.168.1.2(assuming router #1 is running an IP Address of 192.168.1.1) and disable the DHCP/DHCP Server(Router 2) and click on Save Settings...
3. Connect Router #1 from it's Ethernet Port to the Router #2 on it's Ethernet Port(LAN - LAN Connection)...This way you will have just one network and computer's connected to Router 1 will be able to communicate with the computer's connected to Router 2...
4. You may now connect your Switch to any unused ethernet port on your router...

Equium M50 will not recognise the LAN port - error: Network Cable unplugged

I own a Toshiba Equium M50 and have problems with the Marvell Yukon 88E8036 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller.
I used to connect via an 'ADDON' Modem/ADSL Switch and had no problems. I then replaced the ADDON with a 'NETGEAR' DG834G ADSL Modem/Router to gain the wireless port, and since then my machine will not recognise the LAN port. <error: Network Cable unplugged>.
I know that the cables are OK as I used them with other laptops and had no trouble. I can also plug in a PCI card to connect without any problems. It looks to me as if the Marvell Yukon 88E8036 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller has a problem with the netgear Modem/Router.
Anyone out there with a similar experience and some advice/suggestions?
PLEASE

Hi
For me it doesnt show like a LAN card problem but your router is a problem.
Check the device manager if the LAN card was properly recognized. If there are no yellow exclamation marks so everything is ok!
You can try to delete the LAN card from the device manager and after new reboot install the LAN driver again.
The issue has stared after installing or connecting the new Netgear modem router.
Therefore I would recommend to checking firstly the settings or to update the firmware on this router.

How to connect A extreme to A express in WDS so i can use A express as LAN port with RJ 45. A express is old and does allow WDS, but A extreme is n technology and doesnt allow wds anywhere in configuration. do i hvae to buy a new A extreme or new A expr

I have an airport extreme 4th generation (n) and airport express i think model 1084, which is not n technology. I want to connect the express to extreme base station wirelessly and then use the port on express to connect a non wireless PC or TV to the internet. I do not want to run a wire from base station to the computer and wanna use express's ethernet port as LAN port. I understand this can be done in wds mode, but my extreme (n) does not allow anywhere to set up a wds under the airport utility.
do i need to buy a new express or a new extreme? If i buy a new extreme can i connect the new extreme to old extreme base station without a wire and then use the LAN ports on the new extreme to connect to a computer or tv using rj45.
thanks

but my extreme (n) does not allow anywhere to set up a wds under the airport utility.
Suggest that you download and install the more functional and useful AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion , which can be used to administer both the older "g" and newer "n" devices.
Open AirPort Utility 5.6
Select the AirPort that you want to administer
Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the Wireless Mode selection box and the WDS setting will appear so that you can make further adjustments as needed.

RV180 (wired only) problems with firmware 1.0.4.14, fails to boot correctly + LAN ports power off during boot (downgrading to 1.0.3.10 = fine again).

Hi All,
A few months ago when 1.0.4.14 was released I was quick to update to this version from 1.0.3.10 but very quickly ran into issues.
Bit of background info... I am not doing anything complex with this box, basic IP4 network over all LAN ports, no VLANs, firewall enabled and allowing 2 port access rules to a static IP address. Any static IPs are assigned manual at host level but all other devices receive DHCP IP addresses. I don’t host VPN on this RV180 but I do with another. Routing VPN has no issues. WAN is connected to another switch provided by my ISP who provides DHCP IP Address with their DNS etc. Only LAN ports 1 and 2 are connected, port 1 to my Wireless AP (AP mode passing all requests to the RV180, DHCP etc.), port 2 connects to a 8 port Smart Switch (but all 'Smart' features are currently not in use, so basic switching only). All other settings on the RV180 are on recommended defaults.
Everything is working fine on 1.0.3.10 but I have all kinds of issues after updating to 1.0.4.14. Here are the actions and experiences I had...
1) Backup my RV180 config to txt file.
2) Navigate to the firmware upgrade page and follow steps to complete the upgrade process from 1.0.3.10 to 1.0.4.14. *router does the normal process of upgrading*
3) RV180 reboots to complete but doesn’t come back up even after waiting 5-10 mins. LAN ports enable during boot up (link lights on) but after about 2mins turn off (no link lights). WAN light is on alongside the Power Light.
4) Power cycle even with rest... Same results.
5) Reset the RV180 to default settings. I can sometimes get the unit to boot up and the LAN remains active and powered up. The web UI is VERY slow compared with 1.0.3.10. Internet sometimes works and sometimes doesn't (I would expect it all work without issue on default settings).
6) I repeat this a few times, various resets, powered off waiting periods, etc. but I always have issues. I did manage to get some log file information and the Kernel appears in the Alert, Error and also the Warning logs (please see attached files).
7) I gave up at this point. No major issues like this reported on the internet from a few google searches etc. So I then reset to defaults (1.0.4.14), downgrade to 1.0.3.10 and finally reset to defaults again + restore backup config settings (with some manual changes).
The router has remained like this and seem to be working fine, but I would like any security improvements from 1.0.4.14 firmware on my device.
Anyone able to help, have the same issue or can advise me in any other ways?
I see 1.0.3.10 isn’t displayed as a firmware download on the standard support page for the RV180 now. Only 1.0.2.6 and 1.0.4.14. Do I need to downgrade again to 1.0.2.6 before upgrading to the latest version?
Regards,
~FAZ~

Hi,
I recently bought a RV180 router and immediately I encountered the same problem; practically I am not able to access the web GUI.
The PC is directly connected to the router, nothing else is connected; the TCP/IP configuration is as follows:
PC: 192.168.1.100
RV180: 192.168.1.1
GATEWAY: 192.168.1.1
SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0
Once the router is turned on, the power LED flashes fastly, the Ethernet LED is on but after few minutes it disappears and the PC detects a disconnection of the Ethernet cable.
The router is not pingable and, as I said, the web interface is not reachable.
I have tried to power cycle the router, to reset it (pressing the reset button for more than 3 second and for more than one minute), to access the rescue mode and download a new firmware through TFTP, but nothing worked.
Few times, after many boot and reset trials,I was able to access the web interface and in one of these occasions I updated the firmware to 1.0.4.14 but once the router is powered off the problem arises again at the next power on.
I have not tried yet to downgrade to an older firmware version.
Can you suggest any solution? thank you.

How can I make the 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port on my Airport Express work as a LAN-port? The AE is currently extending my network (generated by a Time Capsule)

Dear all.
I currently have a WIFI-network established by a Time Capsule. I want to use my Airport Express as WIFI-receiver for my Samsung TV. How do I pair them up so that the 10/100BASE-T ethernet port works as a LAN-port? I used to do it by setting it up as WDS but I understand this is not suitable for a "n" network.
Thx.

Under the wireless settings for the TIme Capsule, make sure that there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Then configure the AirPort Express to "Extend a wireless network". The Ethernet port on the Express is automatically enabled in this type of configuration and the AirPort Express will also provide more wireless coverage in the area where it is located.
See Apple's instructions in the link below. The iilustration shown in the support document shows an AirPort Extreme as the extending device, but the setup for the AirPort Express would be exactly the same

Can I use the LAN port of my Airport Express, which is being used to extend my wi-fi network from my Time Capsule?

I have a home wi-fi network based on a Time Capsule (3rd Gen.). I recently added a new "n" Airport Express to extend my wi-fi coverage to areas of my home where the signal has been weak or non-existant. The setup went very well (Airport Utility 6 on my MacBook Pro running Mtn. Lion) and was extremely simple and trouble free. Now I am attempting ot plug an ethernet device (internet bridge reciver from a wirelss weather station) into the LAN port. The weather station instructions say the device should communicate fine plugged directly into my router (not physically available where the device needs to be) OR plugged into a LAN port of an ethernet hub. My question is then: with the Airport Express in wi-fi extend mode, is the LAN port available to cable internet devices into the network?

My question is then: with the Airport Express in wi-fi extend mode, is the LAN port available to cable internet devices into the network?
Yes, assuming that the setup went correctly.
Test by moving your laptop or other computer close to the AirPort Express. Temporarily, turn off the wireless on the laptop and connect it using a spare Ethernet cable to the LAN port on the Express.
See if you can get an Internet connection. If you can, you know the Express has been configured and is functioning correctly.
Since the Express is in bridge mode when it "extends" both ports become LAN ports, so if you have a second device that needs an Ethernet connection, connect it to the WAN port as it will work as well.

I can't get the AirPort extreme to recognize a MagicJack connection. It's an ethernet cable plugged into one of the lan ports and the led won't even light up.

My wireless network is working fine. I have an AirPort extreme hooked to a cable modem and all other devices around the house can get into the network.
However, I am trying to hook up a MagicJack to the AirPort via an ethernet cable without success. The AirPort has 3 lan ports for this kind of purpose. The MagicJack works fine when plugged into my Mac's USB port, but it seems to slow the Mac down too much.
I have tried a new cable, checked that I have power and have rummaged through AirPort Utility, but cannot get the AirPort port to even light up. I've also restarted and rebooted both the AirPort and the cable modem multiple times.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

KiltedTim. You nailed it. I tried the MJ directly into the cable modem and still can't get a phone line. I'll see what MJ can do now.
Thanks and thanks to alanoconner for your help.
