13.1.11 Lab - Configure a Wireless Network

configure a wireless network recommended equipment a windows computer with wired and wireless network cards okay choose a pc on bucket tracer okay a wireless router where is this wrt 300m internet patch cable okay logging into the wireless router connect the computer to the router ask the instructor for the following information that is used during the lab okay and your your instructor will give you all the parameters all these parameters to configure for example an ip address of 16 1 1 subnet mask to beautify 25350 router name for example wr1 start ip address for the dhcp server okay for example 172 16 1 100 okay maximum number of users for example 4d remember start ip address should be placed on this network okay on this network [Music] default router access username and password okay and for example username can be admin admin 100 okay lowercase for username and password can be this strong password okay c1 see 0 p4 ss ssid okay configure our ssid okay for example okay okay uh instructor will give you these parameters okay and you need to configure all these on the on this wireless router plug in the power of the wireless router okay and now is is power on connect the computer to one of the ethernet ports on the wireless router with an ethernet patch cable okay first look at the okay on physical tab okay this blue interface is the internet interface that will connect to internet service provider or router and these four yellow interfaces are the local area network interfaces so you need to connect one of these yellow interfaces okay and just a connection straight through cable from pc zero fast internet to internet is the blue connector to internet and use any of these ethernet interfaces i will use ethernet one if prompted by the send network location window select public network and close to accept okay this is for real app for windows for windows operating system and good for a real windows pc real app open a command prompt and type ipconfig to determine the ip address of the default gateway which we should be the ip address of your wireless router okay if it is necessary to renew the ip other center ipconfig space slash all at the prompt okay go to pc desktop ipconfiguration and select dhcp okay because on wireless router there is a dhcp server okay here on by default there is a dhcp server on wireless router so you can configure the pc as dhcp client and now you will get this information ip address netmask and default gateway and the file gateway should be the ip address of your wireless router so the ip address of the wireless router of the long interface and wireless router is 192.168 by default okay the you can verify comma prompt ipconfig okay pc ip address subnet mask and default gateway and also the full gateway is the ip address of the wireless router what is the default gateway for the computer the default gateway logging into the router open uh microsoft edge or other web browsers enter the iep address of your default gateway in the others fields and press enter okay close command prompt open the web browser and 192.168.01 and go username and password okay enter administrative user credentials provided by your instructor okay by default the username on this router is admin then add me okay username and password so admin admin okay now you are on the router configuration configure basic wireless settings you will not be configuring the wireless router to internet you will configure the ssid or network name and security in the wireless settings configure the hcp settings and set a new administrative password okay configure ssid locate the wireless settings in the ssid or network locate the wireless settings in the ssid or network name field enter your assigned ssid save the settings okay go to wireless now you have network ssid the name is default but the instruction is to use wr.net uppercase okay w r one dash net okay okay save save save okay and configure wireless security locate the wireless security settings select wpa security option okay go to whatever security this wpa2 okay okay wpa2 but use personal okay for enterprise you will need a radio server but for personality you can configure only using this wireless router aes c4 aes okay and personal okay wpa2 personal okay enter the password as assigned by your instructor or use this okay i will use the assign ad okay this is for administration okay create a password for for your ssid okay i will use for example okay for example i i will use this uh for example i will use this c1 c0 w1r okay c 1 s c 0 w 1 r save okay save configure the hcp settings okay locate the lung settings okay go up here and go to setup okay this is the internet configuration also the network setup this is the lan setup this is the ip address of the log interface 192.168.01 subnet mask 24 okay start ip address of the dhcp server maximum number of users 50 users ok locate the configure router device name if available okay now [Music] configure device name not available here go to administration okay uh configure device name not available okay go to setup again and configure the router's ip address and subnet mask as assigned by your instructor this is the ipad 172 1611 so on network setup 172 16 1 1 subnet mask 24 subnet mask 24 and save okay and side side okay and you will see this message request timeout because the router doesn't have this ip address anymore 192.168.01 was changed to 172 1611 so you need to close this verify your ip configuration on dhcp okay for example and renew your ip address with iq ipconfig slash renew ipconfig space slash renew enter and now you will get the new ip address 172 16 1 100 okay and this is the new ip address of the router the default gateway 132 1611 so go to web browser and use 182 1611 go username admin admin admin admin okay now and you will see 172 16 1 1 and start ip address 172 16 1 100 maximum number of users 50 for the hcp server that is enabled okay verify the wireless router is used as the dhcp server okay very good is working very well and now configure the long information for your assigned subnet if possible you may be providing the starting and end ip address or the maximum number of ip addresses available for connecting host wirelessly okay and so this means configure the hcp server and the dhcp server configuration is here dhcp server settings start ipr 172 16 1 100 okay it's okay 172 16 1 100 with the maximum number of users is 40 so we change this to 40. okay and save save settings okay save settings settings are successful continue okay very nice and the router may need to reboot at this time if necessary reboot the router in my case was reloaded very fast okay change the file administrative password locate the password settings for administrative accounts okay go to administration provide the current password and the new password as assigned by your instructor okay use this okay and the username admin 100 and use this password c1 let's see 0 okay on this router i i cannot modify the the username only the password so use this password okay c1 sc0 p4ss confirm enter again c1 sc0 b4 ss okay and save and now enter again to authenticate username admin and now the password is this c1 and c0p4ss okay settings are successful continue very good say okay ready log into wireless using the new credentials okay but use wireless okay close the web browser go to pc zero physical and change this card for okay shut down the the pc remove the fascia thread card and add the wireless card okay the wireless car is this w mp300n and power on okay go to desk desktop pc wireless go to [Music] connect then refresh this this window and this is the net wr net connect and wpa2 personal aes the c4 and pre-shared key remember was this for this ssid c1 and c0 w1r 1 s c 0 w 1 r connect and now you are connected you can see this okay and login close this go to ipconfiguration you can see dhcp you got ip close confi verify on with ipconfig command on command prompt okay ip config enter okay the wireless connection 172 16 100 subnet mask and default gateway and access the using web browser 172 16.11 okay go username use uh add only admin on the admin but use this password c1 sc0p for ss c1c c 1 s c 0 b 4 ss okay very nice and at this time you can disconnect the ethernet cable okay very good i'm i'm not using an ethernet cable connect the wireless client okay start under wireless select change wi-fi settings wi-fi settings windows show available networks okay this is on the wireless client select the configured ssid yeah the enter password okay and you can use [Music] and device for example a laptop or any other [Music] smartphone or or tablet okay i will use a laptop okay go to physical remove this this interface and that okay turn off power off remove the fast internet card and add the okay wpc 300 and [Music] is this a wireless adapter very good okay and close and power on the laptop okay desktop pc wireless the connect okay refresh and wr.net select use this password c1 as c0 w1r okay wpa2 personal c1c0w1r connect okay now you are connected okay ipconfig on the client comma prompt ipconfig ipconfig config now you can see in 172 16 1 101 subnet mask 24 for gateway 172 1611 okay now connect an access point in this part you will add a wireless access point ap to the network an ip is connected directly to a wireless router using an ethernet cable the purpose of an access point is to extend the wireless lan where the wireless users cannot reach the wireless router otherwise if you are converting a wireless router to an access point please follow the instructions provided by your structure or manufacturers documentations okay if the blue wireless router is this wireless router okay and if you will add another wireless router but working as an access point connect the uh long interface of the first wireless router to the internet interface of the second wireless router that will work as an access point okay so you can add go to wireless devices add another wr another wrt 300 and wireless router okay the internet interface is the blue interface and you can make this connection okay from a long interface for example ethernet 2 or ethernet three okay i will use it on that three like this example internet three and connect to internet internet interface very good and connect the wireless router via ethernet port navigate the wireless router using a web browser using the ip address of the default gateway and login as the administrator okay you can use this administrator pc to connect this wireless router go to physical tab power off the the pc remove this wireless adapter add the [Music] first internet adapter okay use this wireless adapter one cfe one cfe adapter that is the fast internet adapter for the internet interface and power on the device okay connect the face internet to a long interface for example ethernet one on this new router that will work as an access point okay will work as an access point uh [Music] pc0 desktop ipconfiguration select the dhcp client okay static again dhcp now you will get 182 168 0 100 okay and the default gateway is 182.168.01 verify on comma prompt ipconfig 182.168.80 100 182.168.01 is the default gateway so this is the ip address of this wireless router okay and use this ip to access the router web browser 182.168.01 okay go username by default is this admin admin admin admin okay very good and now the internet setup the internet interface is this in an internet interface and uses a dhcp client and network setup the long interface is 182 168 0 1. okay and go to status and you can verify the following internet ip address is 172 16 1 102 okay 172 16 1 102. subnet mask 24 and the full gateway 172 16 1 1 okay i can do the following and okay you can do the following okay fill color and select this okay this network is 172 16 1 0 24 okay this is the host number one the log interface one okay also on this side for for ethernet interface and for wireless interface is one okay for internet interface and for wireless interfaces one and the second wireless router on internet ip address on internet interface this internet interface is 172 16 1 102 so is that 102. okay very good but the with go to setup okay and the network setup is 192.168.01 subnet mask 24. so this is the network 182 168 0 0 24 and this is the host number one okay is the default gateway for this new network okay to prevent interference navigate to the wireless settings change the wireless channel from the default channel one to channel six or eleven and save okay first access this uh this router this wireless router you can access from the wireless client from the laptop okay go to web browser the ip address is 172 16 1 1 172 16 1 1 okay go use your name admin and use this password okay admin and c1 and c0 p for ss c1 sc 0 p for adjust okay go to wireless and look at this the standard channel the channel is number one channel is number one okay so okay and if channel is number one on dhcp server there should be a difference of five with the channel of wireless router so the channel on wireless router should be 6 or 11 okay with a difference of 5 so that's why you need to use 6 or 11 so you will use another channel for example you can use channel and 6 okay and access this wireless router go to this pc go to wireless and the channel is one but change to six okay okay save save [Music] connect the internet port of the access point to one of lan ports of the existing wireless router okay this connection is already done configure access point wireless settings in web page of wireless router navigate to lung settings to determine the ip address of the access point the ip address of the access point can be listed in the address reservation table or dhcp client list okay this is the ip address of the access point in my case it's a wireless router that is working as an access point and this is the ip address 172 16 1 102 and you can see this on status once i did you see scene 1 102 okay and in another web browser navigate to the ip address of the access point okay already okay from this this pc okay the connection using web browser in the access point settings navigate to wireless settings and configure the ip with the same wireless ssid and security options as the wireless router okay use the same configuration like this okay and go to go to wireless ssid w r1 dash net okay channel six type okay and wireless security wpa2 personal aes and this password c1c0w1r c1 and c0 w1r okay and save very good verify that the wireless router and access point are not using the same wireless channels okay in this case it's channel one and this is six very good attempt to connect wireless client to the wireless network okay you can use another laptop another laptop here and on physical power of the laptop remove the ethernet interface at the wireless interface power on desktop pc wireless connect refresh this okay and there are two uh wireless networks two ssids one with channel one and another with channel six choose this with channel six uh on real app you will see only one only one okay but channel six connect wpa2 personal and password c1 sc0 w1r connect okay and now you can see the laptop is connected okay to the access point in my case it's a wireless router and turn off wireless radio on the wireless router after you successfully connected to the wireless network you will attempt to disable the wireless router radio and a wireless client will attempt to connect to the wireless network through the access point okay navigate to the wireless router using a web browser okay navigate to wireless router okay using this laptop okay click here and [Music] web browser navigate to this ip address on log interface 172 16 1 1 172 16 1 1 use your name remember this okay add me and this add me c1 sc0p for ss okay this password okay navigate to the wireless settings turn off the wireless router go to wireless okay here on network mode disable disable then [Music] save okay save and now you can see how the laptop that was connected to the wireless router connects automatically to the access point that in my case is another wireless router okay this is roaming okay roaming because the okay because this uh access point was configured with the same ssid and password like the wireless router the only difference to avoid in [Music] the only difference to avoid interference is the channel in this case is channel one for wireless and this case is channel 6 for wireless depending on the wireless router model you may be able to switch off the wireless radio using the on off switch okay save settings ready attempt to connect a wireless client to app ap okay all is working very well we will reset the original configuration unless stated otherwise by instructor restore the router back to factory default if the option is available locate the maintenance or system settings click selection to revert the factory default settings provide administrative credentials wait for your router to finish reboot before shutting down the wireless router okay for example go to this pc to connect the web browser of the access point go to administrator and click here to factory default administrate administration factory default and click here to restore factory defaults on both wireless routers okay another student can use these routers to do this lap again okay and but this is for real app okay not for pocket tracer okay very good and go back here connect an access point and i will not use uh another router i will use an access point so remove this wireless router okay remove all this okay access the the wireless router the ethernet one from pc0 go to pc and okay static dhcp okay wait a moment until this indicator is green okay now it's green and static dhcp and now this is the ip address once i do system 103 the full gateway and access the this router uh wireless router using web browser 172 1611 okay username admin and use this these passwords for administration access c1 sc 0p4ss c1c0p okay and enable the go to wireless and enable the interface mix it mode and save save settings okay and now wireless is available now okay laptops connects automatically to the wireless router and do this using a access point no wireless router access point okay you will add an access point okay avoid this because this is for two wireless router and connect wireless router via ethernet port navigate the wireless router using a web browser using the ip address of the default guide wait okay this pc is connected to the wireless router review here on wireless is using channel one okay i'm not modifying the channel on whether this router is one so the one access point will be different will be six or eleven okay and the internet port of the access point to one of lan ports of the existing wireless router so select a wireless device wireless device and use this and access point pd okay is this okay is power on not not this this is a lightweight access point will work anyway but this is i'm using this access point pd and connect a long interface for example a long number three ethernet three on long interface on wireless router to internet port and this access point has only one port okay this is the access point and the channel should be different channel should be for example six configure access points access the web page okay on packet tracer you cannot use the web page to access this only click here and go to config navigate ip address okay this is only for web using web browser configure the access point with the same wireless ssid and security options as the wireless router okay this use the same credentials the ssid and password okay go to port 0 is this interface the ethernet interface and port one is the wireless interface so use this for ssid wr1 dash net okay sensitive the channel is six very good okay and use this password but use wpa2 ps vsk and use c1 se 0 w1r aes okay in this password very very nice and close this verify okay the verify that the wireless router and access point are not using the same wireless channels okay this uses one and this uses six attempt to connect a wireless client okay and turn off wireless radio on wireless router okay access this this pc this is the wireless router network mode disabled inside okay and now you can see how now you can see how laptops the wireless clients are connecting to the access point automatically okay thank you very much you
