View 5 RepliesI have Eight AIR-AP1242AG-E-K9's accross our site that have 2 SSID's and 2 VLAN's that work well, I want to link one of the AIR-AP1242AG-E-K9 to another one using 5ghz patch antennas across a 50 metre gap, but I am puzzled on how to do this, as to create a root bridge and a non route bridge link I need to put the infrastucture SSID on and this must be on VLAN1 but I want the traffic from both VLANs to pass over this link. I just want to ensure the config will work as I need to go into a cherry picker to get to the non-root-bridge.

The Ap was constantly reloading and I was getting message
Wed Mar 20 13:32:12 2013 AP 'UBFT-E06-F0A-R09-0022.901b.a6ba', MAC: 00:23:ab:27:1f:30 disassociated previously due to AP Reset.
%CAPWAP-3-IMAGE_DOWNLOAD_ERR3: capwap_ac_platform.c:782 Refusing image download request from AP - unable to open image file /mnt/ap_bundle/ap.pri//c1240
I decidet to reinstall software on WISM 2 modul (7.2.111.3) this fix the problem and AP joined controller but during this process I have lost connection to 87 AP for 3 seconds and then they joind back again.
"disassociated previously due to AP Reset"
Done a wifi mesh using 1552E and 1552i mix of AP's ? With the 1552E as RAP and 1552I's as MAP's ? Is it a recommended model of deployment and will it work well ? the 1552i having radiation pattern more towards the ground when mounted on top , will the mesh backhaul to the 1552E be strong enough ?
Will this work if i put the 1552e at a lower level than the 1552i so that the mesh is formed properly ?
I am using LINKSYS by CISCO (WRT54G2) Access point wirh out any controller or wireless control system (WCS). Is it possible to connect this AP in mesh scenario, if its possible, how about configuring in mesh mode.
View 2 Replies View Relatedthis note is from the 5508 controller config manual, does this apply to 1040 access points in a mesh network?
Note:The recommended power source for MAPs is either a power supply or power injector. PoE is not a recommended power source for MAPs.
I have a Cisco 1242 AG wireless access point with the goal of having multiple SSIDs. I set up one network which broadcasts correctly but only sometimes can I connect to it.
And, even if I connect to the network, I cannot get a DHCP address for the client.Other devices connected (but not through this Access Point) to the associated VLAN 60 can get a DHCP address and connect just fine.Here is the configuration for the Cisco 1242 AG access point in question: [code]
Lastly, here is the information on VLAN 60 from the distribution switch. As mentioned, other devices connect to this VLAN and get IP addresses just fine.
I have a running Mesh Network with AP 1552E and Controller 5508. The end customer has a new requirement to have a indoor coverage near to AP1552E (mesh AP). But in this building he has not any wired Network (it is far from any switched site). The question is: We can use an AP1262 indoor with Line Of Sigth to AP1552E in the running Mesh Network? I know AP1262 can be used in a Mesh Netwok (Root or Mesh) configuring it as BRIDGE [URL]

Reason being:- client communication on a/n radio might disturb the traffic of the whole cell and of all the MAPs that connect to the network through that MAP.

Is AIR-CAP1552E-x-K9 with three external dual band antennas enough for 2-GHz b/g/n local access and 5-Ghz back haul?
Does 1552 Mesh AP work with 1522 Root AP?
I've a WLC 2106 and it is running IOS version 7.0.240. I am trying to setup a wireless mesh and used the Ethernet bridge port on the MAP to extend the network. The wireless mesh works fine but I can not get the switch to work that is connected to the ethernet port on the MAP.I'm using two different Access points. I'm using a Air Cap 3502i as the RAP and a Air Lap1142N as the MAP.The switch port that is connected to the RAP and MAP is configured as the following:
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk native vlan 2
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,30,40
[code]....
The wireless mesh between the RAP and MAP works fine. I can connect a device to the MAP wirelessly and access the network with no problem but I can not get anything to work that connects to the switch that is connected to the MAP ethernet port.

Can I create a wireless network from a dongle to connect an Archos A28 (Android portable tablet). Like Laptop (Vista Business) connected to internet through dongle in USB slot & Archos can also access internet through said dongle?
Or will I need to buy something like the Mifi thing that is designed as a portable wireless hotspot & connect my laptop & Archos to this?

My ISP sent me a letter few days ago that they can provide me total separate wireless connection other than my regular connection. But they will charge me $10/month for this. just wondering do we have any way to create two separate wireless network so that my clients can access that free wireless connection when they are in my store. But on the other side they don't interfere with my regular connection and its good for my network security too.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a working wired network and really all I want to do is set up my DIR-655 on it so that it provides internet only for wireless users, but doesn't allow access to the rest of the local network. I though that's what the Guest network would do, but when I connect to that I can still type in local IP addresses and get to those devices.
"Enable Routing Between Zones" is unchecked in the Guest Zone settings.
I'm able to to create my main network, but unable to create guest network. Already create CP and when connected to the guest SSID, the guest could still see my main network. How to create Guest network?

My friend has made it work by turning off the dhcp with his airport extreme and setting it to create new network instead of extend, but after I turn off dhcp I dont know what i should put in for a static ip/ dns/ what to do at all. I can look at all the connections with ipconfig/all , I just don't know the magic things to put in after turning off dhcp to make this work. I have a netgear wireless wndr 3400 n600 router.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have DSL with a Comtrend router/wifi (WIFI1). I would like to connect the WRT54GL to the physical network and have it create a separate wifi network (WIFI2), so my laptop will connect to WIFI2, get passed to the LAN and on to the Internet. Cant make this work - tried setting up the WRT for DHCP server, DHCP pass through (to the comtrend), and the best I can do is get connected to WIFI2 and have access to the LAN but not the Internet. Ultimately I want to put a high gain antenna on the WRT to make it reach another building about 400' away and do away with comtrends horrible WIFI, but I cant get to first base.

I a trying to configure Mesh and I followed the Cisco deployment guide.I had added the MAC address of my AP in the Mac-filter list Configured the Root AP and Mesh AP.Configured the Mesh Parameter.Currently my issue is after removing the client from Ethernet its no more seen in the controller. There is also no information in the neighbour output.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using two cisco 1242 AG access points to configure WDS feature. I've named the accesspoints as AP1(acts as WDS) and AP2. Since I've only two accesspoints, I've configured the AP1 to act both as a WDS and as a regular accesspoints.Further I'm using the local radius server within the AP1 to authenticate both clients and infrastructure accesspoints. And both APs are connected to a router (which act as a dhcp server) via a unmanageble switch and both accesspoints are getting registered with WDS.But the issue is when I tried to connect to the configured SSID, it promts me a "authentication window" but after entering the configured username and password, i'm not getting authenticated by the AP.
I've attached the configurations of both APs to for your reference and I've used the following cisco document as a guideline to crate the WDS. [code]

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having a little issue with some Cisco Aironet1242ag WAP's. I receive a call at least twice a month stating that some of the WAP's are not giving out internet connection. What I always do is go to my patch panel and disconnect those WAP's not working and connect them back again so they can power cycle. These WAP's are connected to a Cisco3750g. Once the WAP's boot up, the users can connect to the WAP and connect to the internet.
I don't know if these WAP's are filling up with some information that causes the access points to not connect to the WAN.
