5 TopicsN300 Extender does not see Sonicwall TZ300
I have a Sonicwall TZ300 with internet working fine in 2.4Ghz in n/g/b mixed mode. I'm trying to extend it with an N300 which used to work just fine on a TZ100. However, the N300 does not see the SSID of the TZ300, which is not hiding its SSID. I've tried bringing it closer to the Sonicwall with no better results. Any ideas?4.8KViews0likes8CommentsNetgear N600 as a repeater?
I have an Apple Time Capsule connected to my Arris SB6141 modem. I have an additional Netgear N600 router that I want to connect to my network and use it as a wifi extender while also being able to run ethernet cables from the ports to have wired connections in another part of my house. How can I set this up? I was wondering if they will all be on the name network and not create an additional wireless network also. Thanks in advance.20KViews0likes6CommentsConnect Netgear WNR 1000v2 to comcast technicolor tc8305c gateway to extend wifi signal
Ok People, I only know enough to be dangerours and Comcast is NO HELP at all so please go easy on me. (Completely different topic that I could B*#^@% about for Days). Anyway... I have Poor Wifi in areas of house from comcast technicolor tc8305c. (tc8305c is in lower level of house and it's pretty much going to be very difficult to relocate and signal is very poor on second level addition to home) I have run ethernet from the tc8305c up to an old wnr1000v2 in order to extend or repeat the wifi signal. I have been able to get this to work using Lan from gateway (tc8305c) to wan port on wnr1000v2. In that configuration, both have seperate SSID. This does work, but wondering if some of the laging issues are due to double NAT I've read about. The gateway (tc8305c) to internet uses an ip of 10.0.0.1 while the wnr1000v2 uses 192.168.1.1 Both have DHCP enabled. In reading about this, it appears if I change the ethernet from Lan to Wan over to Lan on Gateway to Lan on Wnr10000v2 and give the wnr1000v2 a static ip address and disable DHCP that is supposed to work. However I cannot figure out what the static address should be. DHCP for the gateway is set Beginning at 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.252 and I believe the wnr1000v2 needs to be set outside that? (So 10.0.0.253?) I don't care if they have 2 seperate Ip address, however I have also read that going Lan to Lan, if I change the SSID on wnr1000v2 to match that of the gateway, then everything is "supposed" to flow seamlesly and would use whatever signal is strongest depending on where in house you are. This apparently would also make a wifi network (Work)? Hope this makes some sort of sense. If the above isn't possible, what is the best way to get the signal to reach all areas of the house using an hard wired ethernet connection from the gateway up to addition. Anyway, "ANY" help would be much appreciated. I'll send out for Scotch ! (Or Whiskey, whatever gets this thing working). Thanks Very Much Mac2.9KViews0likes1CommentBridging vs. access point
Hello all, I have a new Nighthawk ac1750 router (6700 I believe). I would like to add it to my existing wireless network (a tp-link router). I can either connect it to the existing router wirelessly or with cat6 (obviously wirelessly would be easier). I am hoping that the Nighthawk will be able to connect to devices wirelessly and hard wired. Looking through the literatureit looks like bridging is not an option, but I am not sure if using it as an access point will allow me to have both wired and wireless clients working through it. Is there another configuration or trick that will let me do what I want to do? Will either of these options negitively impact the transfer of data between the main router and the Nighthawk? Thanks!
