EOC-3220 connects but no internet access

I am using an EOC-3220 EXT in bridge/client mode for long range wifi access from my boat.
I am able to connect to an access point using manually assigned IP addresses 192.168.1.10 for my PC and 192.168.1.1 for the EOC-3220 in bridge client mode.  I have access to the EOC-3220 using IE browser.
However, I have been having trouble accessing the internet from my PC after connecting the EOC-3220. I had access to the internet through my PC's browser briefly after changing my PC from a manually assigned IP (192.168.1.10)  to automatically retrieve an IP address. Now I cannot access the internet with the PC's browser with either a manually assigned IP address of 192.168.1.10 or by allowing the PC IP address to be automatically assigned.
I have the latest firmware upgrade installed (1.40….). Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

    What are you using for Internet connects? do you have the Access point
    connected to a Router. or is it connected to the Cable or DSL modem. I
    will need more information to complete this. If you have a router is is
    set to give an IP address or do you have a static IP? If it is set to
    give a Dynamic ip change the access point to recieve ip address from
    router and same with computer. If your connected directly to the Modem
    with the access point and you only have one IP address it will be used
    by the access point and not allow the computer to connect.

    for more help please provide your internet (DSL, T1, CABLE) if you have
    router,  how it provides IP, and how access point is connected to it.

    My AP/router is a netgear MR814 hooked to internet via cable modem.
    The router is set to get IP address dynamically from the ISP.
    This is located downstairs in my house.
    I am using the EOC 3220 upstairs as wireless bridge/client.
    It is hooked to the upstairs computer with an ethernet cable.
    I can connect the EOC 3220 upstairs to the router downstairs (wireless link) but I was only able to get access to the web briefly from the computer upstairs.  The computer upstairs is running Windows 98SE.

    It is fixed now. There were two separate issues. First problem was that after establishing a connection manually by accessing the bridge using the PC browser with the PC set to a fixed IP (192.168.1.10) I needed to go back and reset the PC to allow the IP to be set dynamically.
    After I did this I would get internet access briefly, say 5 minutes or so. This second problem , access only for 5 minutes or so, I think was due to a virus or spyware. After I reloaded the windows 98 operating system this second problem was fixed and now the bridge has maintained the connection for 20 hours or so. Thanks for your help.

    From your 2nd posting I am thinking your not solved.

    You are trying to connect from the wireless router down stairs to the EOC using wireless. have you enabled WDS? page 49 of manual http://static.tigerdirect.com/pdf/engeni...



    I have not used this feature, all of my access points are hardwired to the router and a user as an access point or Client... The way you are seting this up it appears you need to chage it to a repeater using the WDS. If you are not solved and the solution above did not work you may want to change your Solved to almost there so others may solve it faster. I will attempt to set one of my access points up later today as a repeater to test this as well, but someone else may already have the answer figured out.

How do i set bridge mode?

Depends if you need a wireless or wired bridge?

Here is some info for you.

Infrastructure Mode

With a wireless Access Point, you can operate the wireless LAN in the infrastructure mode. This
mode provides wireless connectivity to multiple wireless network devices within a fixed range or
area of coverage, interacting with wireless nodes via an antenna.

In the infrastructure mode, the wireless access point converts airwave data into wired Ethernet
data, acting as a bridge between the wired LAN and wireless clients. Connecting multiple Access
Points via a wired Ethernet backbone can further extend the wireless network coverage. As a
mobile computing device moves out of the range of one access point, it moves into the range of
another. As a result, wireless clients can freely roam from one Access Point domain to another and
still maintain seamless network connection.

How to setup internet between 2 EnGenius EOC-2610 devices?

Thanks for a very thorough problem report. It's a little ambiguous near the end, though, so I will have to restate what I think I understand you are saying.
You are saying that you have your internet connection and AP in one building, and two devices or PCs in that building can access the internet and share files (though you don't specify if they are using the EOC-2610 access point or are just accessing the router in some other fashion). But you have a remote building where there is one PC and one EOC-2610 in Client Bridge mode, and although both EOC-2610 units seem to be communicating with each other, the PC will not communicate with anything. (I presume you have inspected the access point's configuration screens and verified that it does have the other EOC-2610 listed as a connected client.)
First, the PC in the remote building has to be connected to the Client Bridge EOC-2610 by its ethernet cable in order to access the network. Second, the PC in the remote building has to have a valid IP address in the range 192.168.0.0/24, or it won't communicate with anything. If you are relying on your router's DHCP to assign your PC an IP address, verify that this has happened by examining your PC network properties. If you are assigning all IP addresses manually, make sure you have assigned the PC an address, and one that doesn't duplicate some other device.
Sometimes failure to specify DNS servers appears to be a lack of communication with the network. Open a browser and type 66.70.119.204 in the URL bar. If you get to fixya.com, you have a good network connection. If you type fixya.com in the URL bar and can't get the same result, you need to define DNS servers on the PC (or inside your router).

Problem using 2nd hand AP senao EOC3220 EXT

You can use this unit either as an access point, to provide wireless access to a network you already have, or as a bridge, to access a remote wireless network someone else has.
Note that you own the EXT model, meaning that you have to attach your own antenna to the connector before it will function. There is no internal antenna on this model.

After a windy day lost wireless connection

For a new unit disconnect the eoc from the network and connect directly (through POE injector of course) to your laptop/pc.  then in network connections setup your lan port TCP/IP settings as follows.  ip 192.168.1.10 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 then gateway 192.168.1.1

point your browser to 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.2 (one if it is in AP mode and the other address works if it is in bridge mode).

When configuring, I assign it an new static IP outside of the DHCP assignment range.

To see how it is setup afterwords you can use hyperterminal with a null modem cable to view the current config.  instructions on the engeniustech.com support page.

AP Mode Problems

Probably you have to learn that there are various people looking for an access of the internet through your facilities. Anyway, inorder to solve your problem these are the following recommendation I made just for you. Hope this will be helpful.

PHASE I
1.) How do I reset the EOC-3220 / EOC-3220 EXT / EOC-3220+ back to factory default settings? An RS-232 null modem serial cable is required for this procedure.
(where to buy it : http://www.keenansystems.com/store/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=3&products_id=221)

1. Connect the EOC-3220 to your computer with a null modem serial cable.

2. Start a HyperTerminal session: Click Start and then select Programs -> Accessories -> Communications -> HyperTerminal.

3. After the HyperTerminal window appears:
a. Give this new connection a name. Ex: EOC-3220.
b. Select correct COM port. Ex:COM1.
c. Set baud rate as "38400", data bits "8", parity "none", stop bits "1", and flow control as "None". Then press “OK” to bring up the HyperTerminal window.

4. Wait until the "#" is displayed in the HyperTerminal window.

5. Type "flash reset", then hit enter.

6. Type "reboot", then hit enter. After the device reboots, all settings will be at factory default.

Phase II

1.) Since that you already reseted the AP you need to use the default IP which is 192.168.1.1 user: admin password: admin

2.) Make it sure you need to use different IP such as 72.10.251.xxx and the subnet: 255.255.255.xxx

3.) The idea of configuration in come from your own desire which was no body can no longer try to match your network IP so that there will be no body access your AP anymore without your knowledge.

4.) You need to make you SSID invisible to everyone inorder no body no longer able to reach your SSID by setting up basic setting which is transparent to everyone.

5) And lastly change the default user and password of your AP.

Good Luck
