Cisco Wireless :: 1042N Broadcasts 802.11G Signal Instead Of N?
Jun 7, 2012
I am installing a new Cisco AP1042N access point in our network but the maximum speed it broadcasts is 54Mbit(802.11G) and that should be 300Mbit(802.11N). Im also disappointed about the range. Im using it in a small office building with a few thin walls but when im about 20 meters away from this access point my signal strength is very poor (My €100 HP V-M200 AP does much better in the same environment).
We recently purchased a bundle of 3 1042N AP's with a 2106 WLC. I am able to get the controller on the network and am able to manage it through the https web gui. I am now trying to add one of the AP's to the controller and am getting an infinite loop on the AP upon bootup. I tried looking up the solution but could not find a good article that pertained to the problem I was having. One thing I did notice is the time on the AP is way offset, but when I do a clock set to change it to the actual date it doesnt stick on the next reload.
Here is the output:
using ÿÿÿÿ ddr static values from serial eeprom ddr init done
we are trying to configure WLC 2112 with LAP 1042 but getting following erros on LAP1042. It show the Ap is not supported in controller version 6.0.199.4
This is rattling my brain. I have configured 2 SSIDs, one for internal, one for guests. They are on seperate VLANs (50 and 51) and bridge groups (1 and 2). I can get IPs via DHCP for the internal network, but not for the guest. I can't get DHCP for any VLAN 51 sub-interface, nor clients that connect to it. The overall goal is to keep all traffic on the guest network seperate from the internal traffic, however, DHCP requests will be from an internal server. I have removed all the access-lists for troubleshooting purposes. AP and Switchport configs are below!
AP Config Current configuration : 4011 bytes ! version 12.4
I have about 200 APs (Cisco 1042n and 1142n), 4 controllers (5508 and 2504).. Switches are 2960s and some other stuff.. I Use NCS for management.We have a couple of vlans and SSIDs, when users connect to a SSID i use Flexconnect to associate the users to the correct VLAN.
I just purchase Cisco LAP-1042N for my office network expansion. When i console into the AP via serial. I am not able to used "configure terminal" command to set my AP name,static IP address.
I tried using "debug lwapp console cli" command it did not work. below is the capture screen of the error i am getting when assigning AP hostname. Error message : command is disable.
We are using the SG300 series switches, and have come across an issue where we need to block ARP broadcasts based on IP.
we have multiple computers, each with only one ethernet adapter, each adapter has two IPs configured, 10.10.10.x and 192.168.0.100.All machines have the same 192.168.0.100 address (Used for applications/hardware running locally to that machine and this IP cannot be changed).
When the machines are connected to the network, ARP is advertising BOTH the 10.10.10.x address and the 192.168.0.100 address.
As all machines have the same 192 address we receive IP conflict notifications on each machine.
How can the ARP broadcasts for the 192 address range be blocked?
In troubleshooting another issue I set up another SG300 on the same VLAN as my SG300-28P and then setup a Monitor Port on it to see what Broadcasts I was getting.
Low and behold the SG300-28P is sending out quite a few Broadcast Packets. Most of them are the same, ARP Request for its Default Gateway Address. Others are for a few other AD Servers on our network.
Arp Entry Age Out is set to the default of 600000 with "Normal Age Out" selected. Though in a few minutes of logging Packets, there were almost 7,000 broadcasts from it for the its Gateway Address. The Gateway Address that it has is the IP of a Cisco ASA 5510. Is there some TTY on the ARP entry like DNS?
This is the Wireshark Packet. The Frame check sequence is Bad, what can cause that?

I need to configure WPA or WPA2 authentication on cisco 1042N access points. But I believe that for this requirement I need to have either an internal or external RADIUS server, but my customer want to just a normal WPA/WPA2 authentication like what we configure on cisco WAP200 or WAP4410 accesspoints, is there any work arounds to configure WPA/WPA2 authentication in a simpler manner rather than configuring RADIUS server option?
i need to be able to find out what application/service is sending out net bios broadcasts on a network segment the requests are for machines that no longer are on the network but something is trying to obtain there ip address as they are not in dns any more i am assuming this is why they are resorting to netbios broadcasts i need to some how isolate what application or service is trying to find out.

We had a core switch (Cisco 4503), distribution switches(Cisco 3750) and access switches in our network and consists of many vlans. Almost all vlans uses DHCP Pools. But for few vlans DHCP is not yet configured due to initial design poblems. Recently one of the rogue user in vlan 1 connected to one of the access switch send rogue arp packets to the network (suspecting arp packet with interface vlan 1 ip of core switch with wrong mac-address (gateway ip of vlan 1)) and resulted in a prolonged network outage for the vlan 1. Any way we are going to seggregate vlan 1 into different vlans, but before that we need a temporary plan to block such kinds of attack like enabling DAI in the switch. I have checked the DAI implemenation feasibility with my knowledge and found that it is not possible to configure to the access switches(Cisco 2960) in which the user directly connected. But found that Distribution switch connected to that particular access switch seems to be able to configure since DAI commands are available to configure in switch.
Is it possible to block ARP packets with the interface vlan 1 IP Address with rogue mac-address by configuring DAI in the above mentioned Distribution switch and the port connected to the mentioned access switch?
Just this weekend, my DIR-655 has suddenly started blasting out continuous IGMPV2 Membership broadcasts, causing a flood of network traffic that's not normal and is interfering with other traffic. Rebooting everything in the system didn't fix it, turning off the other machines on the network (3 + NAS) didn't fix it, and I couldn't find anything in the configuration of the DIR-655 to stop it.
I have a WRVS4400N that brocasts two different SSIDs. One is a public network and the second is a private network. Right now, both SSIDs are pulling from the same DHCP server, but I would like to seperate the public from the private. How can I seperate these SSIDs by vlans? I can't seem to get the vlans to route to sperate ports.
This is my vlan settings. I have two DHCP servers right now. One is in an isolated network plugged into Port 3 of the WRVS4400N. The other is on the production network, plugged into port 1 of the WRVS4400N. For some reason, whenever I connect to SSID Public, it won't pull an IP from the DHCP on port 1, it only pulls it from the one on port 2.I know there is three SSIDs here, the Static one is going to be the same network as the EMS one.
I work on an HP desktop that used to be able to connect to the wireless network. We moved offices and and I am unable to connect to the new wireless network.The network used to appear but had no signal strength. Now the network does not even appear.
What is the easiest way to boost the the signal from a wireless router(1 year old), weak signal going into a different room. Yes has to go around a wall into another room.
I got a Wireless Dongle to make my Windows ME PC wireless.On eBay, it said it worked on Windows ME.I installed it but cannot get a wireless signal.It does not even have a management program. So I reinstalled it and still got the same result.
I want to connect myself on my friend router by wifi but i cannot see the network what should i do ,what usb receiver anntena is the best or what i nedd to buy and is working 100 % maybe is 400 meter is the distance but sure is not 1 mile
I am trying to use a pre-existing DSL modem-router config in a club house my group uses for monthly meetings. It�s a separate modem and router (Linksys or Netgear), forget modem brand. I'm unable to communicate with the owners of the equipment. If I connect to the router directly with a cat5 patch cord I can get on the internet just fine, but do not see a wireless signal from the router. I am also unable to connect with 192.168.1.1 from my laptop. I get the same message as if I'd entered a random nonsense url. I know you can go into your router and disable wireless but first you have to talk to it via 192.168.1.1 .
So I got clever and piggybacked another known good router into one of the Ethernet ports on the 1st router, and again got on the internet with a direct cat5 connection. But this time, I DO SEE the wireless signal from my 2nd router and can connect to it from the laptop, but still no internet! it's like internet access is blocked in the 1st router.
I recently bought a Nintendo 3DS but unfortunately my University's wireless security (WPA2 Enterprise) is incompatible with the system. As such, I was looking for a way to transmit a wireless signal from my computer, and place an alternative form of security onto it (such as WEP), so that the 3DS can connect to it.
At the moment, my desktop is connected via ethernet cable, which plugs directly into a wall socket. I'm pretty unsure as to what to use, I've heard of things such as 'wireless bridges', but I'm not sure how they work. Also, I'm looking for the device to transmit a signal even if my desktop isn't turned on. Is a router my only option?
I currently have a WAP4410N connected to an ethernet switch and the signal is very weak when attempting to connect to the AP from 4 rooms away. The structure is all block and the signal does not do well between the solid walls. I would like to roam from room to room on the same SSID. how to have the second WAP4410N repeat the original signal and reaplify it from the first WAP to solve this issue. Also, I cannot connect the second WAP to the ethernet switch it must be wireless.
I have purchased two WAP200 units to act as access point and repeater. AP and repeater functionality works fine.
The issue I am having is extremely poor signal from both units. Even when very close to the WAP200, I get poor signal quality. The range before loosing connection is only a few feet.
I'm using the antennas that came with the box and have tried multiple placements both in my house and in other locations. I have also tried changing several of the configurations without any effect on the signal strength. Older D-link and Linksys routers provide good reception to most of my house from the same location.
we purchased 8 WAP4410N access points to cover our entire school with wireless internet. 2 of those could not have access to a wired network accesspoint, so we wanted those to repeat the signal of 2 others. The ones who are to provide the signal are set up as access points, with the option to allow the signal to be repeated enabled. The mac adress of the other access point is provided, and the channel is set to 6. The 'repeat' 4410N ones are set up as wireless WDS Repeater, with the mac adress of the remote access point entered through the site survey. The channel is also set to 6.
When I connect with the 'repeaters' however, I only get limited access, cannot get on the internet, and I cannot change the network settings in Windows 7 from 'public' to 'business'.
I have two AIR-AP350 SERIES AP's. I am receiveing wifi from my friends house a mile away across a valley with clear line of sight. I think there is a problem with one of these units because when doing a link test one unit shows 14% signal strength on either antenna from the remote router and the second unit shows 6% on the left hand antenna and 1% on the right.
I just bought a Gateway dx4860-Ub33P.I took it to geek squad and had them upgrade the video card to Nvidia geforce GTX 560 as well as upgrading the power supply.When I set up the computer at my home office, the wireless adapter is not picking up the signals. My laptop is picking up the wireless signals just fine so I know it can't be a signal strength issue.My Gateway does detect one very weak network, but not nearly as many as my laptop. I also have Norton Antivirus installed if that is at all useful.
I have three desktops and one lap. I have TWC RCA modem and cisco linksys router and two usb adapters for wireless connection. situation is this: the modem and router are at one end of the house and one of the pc's is located at the other end. that one gets low signal strength only one or two bars and the internet works slowly to a point it feels like i'm on dial up. I've had people tell me to upgrade the router from wrt45g to n which I did to an e1000, but I still have the same issue. also was told to move the modem and router to the center of the house. but twc says that would not correct the issue.
Something about dividing the mpbs and the farther the pc the lower the signal. so, guess my question would be 1. does that sound correct to you. would it be better to move the modem and router? would it be better to have the one in question wired in? I did try an extender by netgear, which gave more bars/signal strength but but then would not connect to the internet. but I did that before I got newer linksys router. not sure if maybe I should try the extender again, but then the geek squad, when they came an set up the new router, said that it would probably do the same thing.
I have the M2N32-SLI Deluxe/Wireless Edition motherboard with onboard wireless. I built this computer myself. I did a fresh install of Windows 7. I installed the wireless drivers from the asus website by putting them onto a flash drive from my laptop and installing them on my desktop.On my wireless signal, I get the yellow triangle with a ! in the middle. Nothing else has been installed. I am at a loss of what to do to get rid of this and just get my wireless to work. We have 3 other laptops and one other desktop that work fine with no issues, but this one desktop seems to have problems.
