Morning Peter,
Ok, so there is an ethernet cable running between Time Capsule (TC) and Linksys
(L) at other end of house?
TC connect cable to one of the ethernet ports not the WAN port, same with L.
Connect computer to one end via ethernet again not WAN
Check devices IP address through Terminal
Hi, I have a house which necessarily has my Time capsule up one end of the
house where the study is located. This makes the wireless signal pretty weak up
the other end and I want to correct this. I happen to have a surplus and unused
Linksys 'N' modem-router bought at a time when I thought my
Morning,
Cable connecting AP's.
WPA2 Personnel Shared Key with AES algorithms same for both AP's. SSID again
same for both machines, do not worry about hiding actually slows down network
whilst achieving nothing.
Different IP address, but on same subnet. i.e 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 with
Hi Rob, thanks for this. Are you able to make the notes more idiot proof - ie
step by step connection and configuration process? I googled each of the
acronyms you noted here and now have a basic understanding of what they mean
but I have never been comfortable in getting networks established.
Hi Peter,
I have a second wireless router and I'll try to step you through how I did
this.
I connected the second router via ethernet cable to the network and logged into
it's control panel
Turn OFF the setting that says 'find DNS automatically' this may be 'find IP
Address automatically'
Hi Peter
Some router's don't extend well with bridge mode.
Some things I'd be very wary of, with doing it with another router, unless
it allows you to create either a WDS type master - slave network or
bridges it for you, is to make sure it's keeping your whole network in the
same subnet range.
Hi Peter,
Just to reiterate what Daniel has pointed out, it is much easier and less
problems arise if you keep your ONE Apple Wireless Network (which is a
Dual-Band wireless network N b/g, as if I remember correctly you used my
tutorial 'How to Setup a Simultaneous Dual-Band 802.11N Wi-Fi
Thanks Ronni, Daniel and others for these elegant solutions outlined here. This
seems much better than the cobbled non-Apple devices I find myself with.
A further question about the Airport Extreme/Express option. Is the Airport
Extreme/Express connected from the far end of the house to my
Hi Peter
The Airport Express goes wirelessly, generally somewhere it the middle.
It only requires power. Nothing else. It's kinda small. So just plugs in
somewhere out of sight. And as mentioned, generally about the middle. IT
then extends the same network wirelessly the rest of the way. You
