Access point to switch

Darkmoon59 · Nov 30, 2013

I have a Motorola docsis 3 cable modem connected to a 5 port Linksys switch, I also have 3 separate IP addresses assigned to me. In the past I've had 3 computers hooked to the switch run flawlessly, each one using its own separate IP address. I recently added a Linksys WAP300N wireless access point to my network so it could connect with a computer in another room, it has a Linksys WMP600N wireless adapter in it. My problem is: With the access point plugged into the switch, only 1 computer can get internet access a second will not. Plugged 3 computers back into the switch and all is fine. Add the access point and I'm down to adding 1 computer only .The Ap is set with 802.11N at 5 ghz and the wireless works great. STUMPED.

im pretty confused visualizing this lol...id say do it like this, Modem-----wireless router-----Linksys switch. is that not how it is?

I use no router, most people have one incoming IP address to a router to multiple computers. I have 3 incoming IP addresses to a switch to multiple computers Modem---switch---3 computers. It acts like the access point is using 2 ip addresses.

You likely will need to power cycle the modem to clear the 3 mac address it allows to have IP. Your mac address will be different when you use the wireless nic. You have to be somewhat careful that the AP itself does not try to claim one of the IP.
