    Guest wifi settings

    Would appreciate any advice, total novice here. I'm working on setting up guest wifi access that is segregated from our secured wired and wireless networks. What we have is 1 internet connection coming into a residential type router. From there it goes into an HP Procurve 2510. From there it...

    Novice needing network design advice

    So I think I fell into a deal today. I picked up 2 HP J4813A ProCurve 2524 10/100 24 Port Managed Switches for $17 each. What?

    Novice needing network design advice

    Thanks for your reply & bearing with my lack of knowledge: by resources do you mean physical devices? As far as resources the guests will only be accessing the internet. to clarify, that means installing a managed switch, correct? If so, would the Dell PowerConnect 2724, be an ok choice? It...

    Novice needing network design advice

    Unfortunately several of our computers will need to both be wireless and have access to resources on the secure portion of the network. My desire is to not have to have a separate device for each ssid (not to mention, i'm no sure how easily we can pull a per cable to he west end of the...

    Novice needing network design advice

    I'm not sure why the diagrams are not showing up. They show for me. Yes, we currently have wifi access. The access points will be wired. My understanding is that wireless repeaters cut the bandwidth in half. Is that true?

    Novice needing network design advice

    We are wanting to add guest wireless to our network at our church, but I'm not sure how to keep the guests off the secured network. Our building is roughly 300' long. Our internet comes in on the East end of the building, and our main meeting space is on the West end. My goal is to provide...

    difficulty connecting

    I went out to the campgrounds where this network is installed, and neither the AP nor the modem/router have logs enabled. I took some screen shots and put them in a pdf, the file is accessible here: http://www.filedump.net/dumped/apsettings1280933330.pdf Can anyone see any reason why it...

    difficulty connecting

    I am using it outdoors. I'll have to look and see if the error log is turned on. Just my luck it probably isn't.

    difficulty connecting

    As far as the new router, I didn't know if a different (better?) router would help since the EOC2610 does not serve as DHCP server. On my friends computer, when I manually entered an ip address, I could view the admin page of the cable modem, but could not connect to the internet and I don't...

    difficulty connecting

    I'm running windows 7 and have no problem connecting. My boss is running Vista. He had trouble connecting, but once he connected he's been able to connect ever since. I had two of my friends laptops, one Vista one 7, and neither of them could connect. They can see the network and have...

    difficulty connecting

    I have just installed an Eugenius 2610 connected to the comcast cable modem router. I set it up with WPA2 PSK AES. Some computers can connect just fine, like mine. But other computers will not connect. Any suggestions? Is there any sort of router I should install, would that help?

    wifi for campgrounds

    Is there any way to do a site survey besides trial and error i.e. installing an AP and seeing what kind of coverage you get? My dilemma is to know how many AP's to order, and wether I should set them up in the corners to cover a section or to buy omni antennas to cover a radius? The EnGenius...

    wifi for campgrounds

    That's a good idea Dave. I'll keep it in mind for future upgrades. Right now I'm stuck trying to decide what outdoor omni antenna to buy, and how to determine how much area each ap will cover. I have the radiation patterns of the internal antennas, but i don't know how wide those patterns...

    wifi for campgrounds

    My set up is: 6mbps cable modem at the church connected to wrt54g running dd-wrt (ap mode?) wrt54g at church in wireless bridge mode repeating the signal at my house. I'd say it's about 50' - 75' between them. I'm not sure what you mean by "how many dots" As far as the EnGenius AP's I've...

    wifi for campgrounds

    I just talked to Len Taddei from EnGenius. He recommended the EOC-2611p. Looks like a pretty good product. I'll probably head in that direction. I understand the throughput degradation with wireless repeating. Everything will be a 1 hop. Interesting aside; my internet comes into the house...

    wifi for campgrounds

    Those are good thoughts. I'm looking into some of those products. I definitely ok with sticking with g. I really don't have any familiarity with those brands. Would you say they are pretty solid? You mentioned POE. I'm really thinking more of going with wireless repeaters. Running wires...

    wifi for campgrounds

    I've been asked to design a smallish wireless network for our church's district campgrounds. I have about $400 - $500 to spend on the install. I'm planning on installing one primary wireless router with several other routers running dd-wrt as repeaters. I'm not sure what equipment I...
