Cisco Wireless :: 1142N / Internal Versus External Antenna Coverage
Mar 19, 2013
I have a few 1142N Aironets with internal antennas in place, and I am not thrilled by its coverage. I want to extend my wireless network because of a new building which led me to the following question;Is there is any difference in wireless coverage when using external dipole antenna’s (the small ones, for example the AIR-ANT2524 for a new 2600 Aironet) versus the internal (dipole) antenna’s. I am aware you have more options when using external antenna’s, such as omni, directional, outdoor etc.
For an indoor office or warehouse deployment, where temperature is not a concern, why would I buy for example the 2600E with 4 dipole antenna’s over the 2600i?I have read most Aironet datasheets and their antenna options, but can’t find a word about the advantages of external dipole antennas. I would expect external antennas would give better coverage.. is this true?

I'm planning to use these with a 2504 controller. However, I cannot find a straight answer on whether or not the External Antennas provide better coverage than the Integrated Antennas? These will be wall mounted in a combo office/warehouse environment. Also, I cannot figure out if the External Antennas are even included with the 1602E (AIR-CAP1602E-A-K9)? or what if any power adapter/ injector is included with the AP's?

Is there a way in EIGRP to prefer external routes versus internal routes. EIGRP always picks up internal routes as long as they are available, no matter if external routes have better metric. Our Scenario is that we have DMVPN hub and spoke topology running EIGRP 101. The Core routers also on EIGRP 101 prefer EIGRP 101 routes. We have the new MPLS network running BGP and redistributing these BGP routes into EIGRP 101. The core routers prefer EIGRP 101 routes (internal) to redistributed BGP (external) routes.

We have just installed our first CT2504.After install I have found a dramatic drop in signal strength compared to the wireless survey result obtained.All of our site surveys include real world testing using an AP, in this case a AP1041N.In doubt I retested a section using an AP1041N in the same location as one of the recently deployed LAP1041N.
In the same location a LAP1041N has between -10 and -20dbi difference in SNR compared to the test AP1041N.For example locations that tested with -60dbi using an AP1041N have little to no coverage using the LAP1041N installed.This applies irrespective of the WLC automatic control over Tx power or manually setting the LAP TX to the highest level.

I connected an external 12dBi omni-directional antenna for Networks 2.4 Ghz (TL-ANT2412D) with LMR-400 cable 5M but my antenna "emits" nothing, I have no signal. With the two supplied antennas with WAP200 I signal but does not cover any desired area.

1. Does the Aironet 1242G have an internal antenna?
2. When connecting an AIR-ANT1728 omnidirectional to the primary connector on the ap, does this have to be enable or is it enable by default?
3. My laptops can connect and travel between access point just fine, but smartphones cannot even see the network.

Looking at the WSSI datasheet it mentions internal antenna- unlcealr if this is just with 3602i or 3602e as well.We plan to deploy 3602e in enclusures- hence the external antenna- so the WSSI would be shielded.
Does the WSSI only use it's own internal antenna or is there any option to use external?

I'm going to install a Cisco Aironet 1310g (ap mode) with external antenna in a warehouse (contain many metal surfaces), and I need to install this antennas on ceiling (distance from floor to ceiling is about 13 metres). I need to get at least 1Mbps performance. AP clients are Motorola MC9190-G mobile computers.

I am setting and configure the Cisco AP 1240AG with 5GHz External Antenna extension. The whole product is called iWap. The problem now is that the wireless signal amplitude only can reach 3 bars instaed of ful 5 bars.
Few questions I have for this setup and configuration :
1. What is the default or original frequency of antenna of Cisco AP1240AG? Can a 5GHz antenna work with the AP 1240AG whereby it is run with 802.11a and 802.11g?
2. If 5GHz antenna can work with 802.11a or 802.11g, what is the setting or configuration needed to be done at the Cisco 1240AG? Or, no setting or configuration needed because it will automatically work by default?

1. Cisco Aironet 1040, 1140, 3500i Series Integrated Antennas Diagrams show Azimuth Plane Radiation Patterns and Elevation Plane Radiation Patterns when AP is mounted vertically on the wall (red LED above Cisco logo). So "Zero" on Azimuth Plane points to direction rectangular to AP's case plane (mounting wall plane), "Zero" on Elevation Plane points to ceiling and "180 degrees" points to floor?
2. Radio waves polarization in this case would be linear, in direction from ceiling to floor?
3. If AP would be mounted horizontally on the ceiling, then polarization would be in direction parallel to floor axis X and rectangular to floor axis Y? So induced signal on notebook integrated antenna, oriented rectangular to floor axis X, would be near zero?

I have an unusual request to support an access point with a single external antenna to cover a small physical area (elevator car!!). All Cisco's currently shipping APs have dual band antennas using MIMO for throughput in "normal" deployments. Will a deployment with a single antenna work?

I am wondering if the folowing is a valid configuration:
WLC2504
AP2600
I need 3 SSID/VLAN, 1 for corporate devices, 1 for coporate smartphones, 1 for guest.
Port 1 on the 2504 should be used for management and corporate devices and connect to the corp network. Port 2 is for smartphones/guest and will be connected to a Cisco ASA 5515 that is connected to a second ISP.
Corp devices should get IP from an Windows DHCP. Smartphones/guest should get IP from the WLC. Is this possilbe? I read this in a document "To use the WLC as a dhcp, you need to enable DHCP proxy as it is required." Some how I am imagining that this will mess with the Windows DHCP. Is it better to use the ASA as DHCP for smartphones/guest?

I am having an issue with internal and external clients. When we have the nat ip configured on the controller we cannot connect internal ap's at all. When we take the nat ip out it works fine. We are on code 7.0.220. I have tried the following command <config network ap-discovery nat-ip-only disable> and it did nothing.

I have ACS4 and i am planning to upgrade to ACS5.I would like to have such a rules:I have user1, one ASA device which is VPN concentrator for remote users.ASA have two different tunnel-groups: one which allow for logging via certificate (with mandatory pki authorization thru ACS) with disabled Xauth,and second tunnel-group with allow login thru typical Xauth with authorization thru ACS which users external database (RSA Tokens).So i have one user1 which can login thru VPN using RSA tokencode or certificate.For example: on phone user1 uses certificate, and on PC station the same user1 uses token password.For tunnel-group with pki authorization ASA checks username in ACS and in typical scenario login="CN from certificate" and password="CN from certificate". So we would need "two credentials" for the user - one for pki authorization, and second one external database (RSA token).Is such scenatio possible under ACS 5 ? where one user uses different credentials based on tunnel-group usage ?

I just realized that my internet is slow when my antenna is on top of my computer. I have a pci card with an external antenna connecting to it. If it's on top of my computer, my internet is slow, but if I move it three feet in front of it, it's fast. This makes me think that my computer is somehow blocking or conflicting with the signal. Is this normal, or is there something I can fix in my computer? Download speeds with the antenna on top are around 0.54Mbps, and if I put it as far away as I can, I get around 20Mbps.

I have a 2600 I am trying to setup for educational use.
My Cable ISP has issued me 5 routable IP's through their SMC modem 86.28.12.226-229. The SMC modem is .225. Currently the internal network can get out through .229 as expected but nothing outside (tcp 80 to web server) can get through. When I assigned the ip's to e0/1 as secondarr I could get it to route from the inside network (so hitting .226 80 went to the correct place) but it still didn't work from the outside - plus I read that wasn't a great way to do it anyway.

I have a checkpoint Safe@Office 500 firewall router, connected to adsl via another adsl device in bridged mode.We needed to assign an external IP to a device behind the firewall.We contacted the ISP, and now they have assigned an additional IP to our adsl account.I have read from the documentation that:"NAT can be defined automatically via the network object (Node, Network or Address Range). When you define NAT via the network object, rules are automatically added to the Address Translation Rule Base"....so I add the object, with the external IP given to us by our ISP, and the wizard simply complains that the IP address is invalid.My thoughts are that the router does not know about the additional IP provided by our ISP. If so, how do I tell the router that there are other IP addresses available to use? I have rebooted the router, and no luck.
