My employer provides me a Cisco 881W. I don't use the wireless features: my computer is cabled via Ethernet. I cannot administer the device, so I cannot disable wireless. I want to remove the 3 antennae and replace them with a dummy load or something else that will not radiate much.
View 1 RepliesI wanted to load the factory defaults for my 881W so I could get a clean start. Following this Cisco article: [URL]. I used the following commands while tel netted in via an ether net cable to one of the ether net ports: router#configure terminal router(config)#config-register 0x2102router(config)#end router#reload System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]: n Proceed with reload? [confirm] .
Once I hit enter to proceed with the reload, the router power cycled. From that point forward, I never got a link light or connection via my ether net cable to the router on any of the ether net ports (0,1,2,3). I can get a link light on WAN FE4, but no DHCP ip address to telnet in. I do not have a Cisco USB console cable, which is why I've been trying this via my ether net cable. Hopefully, I didn't ***** up the router.
I have a Cisco 881W and I would like to basically some how bridge the Cisco router to my netgear router. This is what I'm trying to achieve:
Cable Modem ----> Netgear Router ~~~~~ via wifi ~~~~> Cisco 881W ------> FastEthernet Ports
I've tried setting the Cisco 881W with station-role non-root with the SSID of my netgear router, but I get the error %DOT11-4-CANT_ASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, cannot associate: No Response whenever I try to bridge it.
Is bridging the Cisco router via wifi to the Netgear Router something that is not possible or is it an error on my part?
My housemates have been having a trouble with network coverage in my house, the router is located in the basement of my house, perfect for me as my room is also down there (Ethernet). Unfortunately my housemate in the attic room's signal seems to be a problem. I'm wondering if it would be possible to remove one of my routers two antennas solder some copper wire to the spot it was removed, then have the wire go up to the 1st floor and re-solder the antenna up there (mount it on the wall or something). I'm confident with the practicalities of actually doing this, but I'm not that techie when it comes to electronics. I'm not sure whether it would need more power to boost it over such a distance.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Belkin Play N300 (part number = F7D4302) wireless router, and I want to connect my (soon-to-be-pole-mounted) 12DBI omnidirectional antenna to it, the goal is better wireless access in one area of a church camp. I have a couple of U.lf - RP-SMA pigtails on the way, because of course the router doesn't have an external antenna connection.
I opened up the router case, and below is a shot of the board. There's plenty of room inside the case. The router is dual-band (2.4 and 5ghz), and uses 2 internal antennae, apparently it senses the better one and uses it as needed.
My plan is to disconnect one antenna, and connect/solder my external antenna pigtail in its place. I'm a fair hand at soldering, but very little practice de-soldering...
1. Is disconnecting / replacing one antenna the way to go, and if so, which one? Or should I leave them both connected and piggyback my external onto one of them (soldering the leads on top of existing connections), or disconnect both antennae, or does it matter?
2. Which set of wires, white or black, are used for which band - and should I connect to? I assume I'd want to hook up to the 2.4ghz, correct?
The white wires come out from the tiny Broadcom chip, I think it's marked BCM43224KMLG (dang, that's some tiny print!). This page leads me to think that these are the 5ghz antenna leads, but I'd llike to be positive before I start cutting.
The black wires appear to feed from the larger Broadcom chip marked BCM4718A1KFBG. Again, this page leads me to think that this is the 2.4ghz antenna.
3. Assuming that the black wires are the ones I want, would it be ok to cut one really close to the board end, cut the U.fl connector off of my pigtail, prep the wire / shielding, and solder the wire / shielding on top of the existing solder connection?
My question is how can I use this existing wi-fi as input to a router to make a sub wi-fi for four computers and a wireless printer. Some of my computers may need to be wired into the router.

ISP : Virgin Mobile with MC760 antenna
In remote areas, I use Virgin-Mobile's MC760 Broadband2Go antenna to provide Broadband to my netbook. This ISP service requires that you "sign in" with username and password to initialize the BB transmission. I would like to use my TL-MR3020 to host the Virgin-Mobile's Broadband2Go MC760 antenna to provide a wireless hotspot, instead of the hardwired direct-computer connection I have. I've gone thru the MR3020 quick setup with the MC760 but been unable to get it to connect.

Probably go with VZ FIOS so EthernetAbout 2000 square feet so 2 WAP's should do it I'm thinking a CISCO881W-GN-A-K9 ISR with a SRW224G4P-K9-NA switch should do the trick. This will give me an integrated AP but I need a second one. Do I need to order an autonomous one or does the 881W do some sort of WLC function?
CISCO881W-GN-E-K9 vs. C881W-GN-E-K9. What's the difference between these routers?
For example, the CISCO881G-K9 has a 3.5G ExpressCard Modem and the C881G has an embedded one with GPS and 3.7G in most versions. The C881G is, for all I know, the newer one. But for the two mentioned above, I can't find any differences at all. The C881 is listed in the Teleworking section of the data sheet. But there is no information whatsoever about any feature or license differences.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Cisco 881W router. It has historically run IOS 12.4 (20.T3) without issue. I recently upgraded the IOS to version 12.4 (24.T5). Once I made that upgrade, my ability to fully throttle my downstream bandwidth became seriously limited and variable going from a steady 6Mbps to an unreliable 2-3Mbps. No other changes were made to my environment. The degredation in performance was so bad that my AppleTV would no longer stream Netflix or YouTube.I downgraded back to the original IOS 12.4 (20.T3) and the downstream bandwidth and variability issues disappeared. As well, my ability to stream movies or videos with my AppleTV on Netflix or YouTube returned without issue.I wonder if upgrading to IOS 12.4.24.T5 enabled some new commands that I'm not catching or there is something else at play that I'm totally missing.

I have a Cisco 881W configured for wireless (just a PSK, nothing special). I can get out to the Internet OK and browse to everywhere except my own websites.
It runs on a connection that does not connect directly to my network, but our website is available to the world externally.
Now, from the router a traceroute and ping work fine to our website but from the wireless connection I can get to everywhere else on the web but our website. A traceroute just stars out. I'm using 8.8.8.8 as a DNS server and nslookup resolves the DNS.
I can't set a DNS server or domain server on the ap on the 881W so are there any commands I can use to see what's going on?
