I 'm administration an Aironet 1242ag, and we are currently buying an AIR-ANT1728 as antenna. The standard cable for the antenna is 0.9m long, and It could be insufficient for my needs.
I have two Aironet 1242AG access points. Currently, one of those access points is in use with an SSID of ABCWIFI.
I want to extend the wireless network to an area that can't be reached by copper or fiber. So, I've purchased another 1242AG. What I'm not sure of is how to configure it. Should I use it as a repeater or in a root-bridge/non-root bridge configuration?
What I'm most confused about is, what do I do with the second radio? Do I use the 5Ghz as the "backhaul" with a completely separate SSID and then broadcast the normal SSID over the 2.4Ghz? Or, do I even use the second radio at all? The key is that the same SSID is used in all locations because the devices in use need to move seemlessly between access points
Recently i have setup a WLAN with inside and anchor 5508 controllers. Standard setup. However, one issue I have is I wish to extend the length of time between password changes for users connected in on the guest wlan. At the moment, 30 is max. I dont have an option on the controller to creat accounts for any longer than that. How to I extend it to 90 days or 120 days?
how far apart an Aironet 1410 Bridge can be from the Power Injector (Dual Coax feeds). I just can't find the specification details. The device comes with a 20' and 50' F-type and I'm looking at 150' runs for both ends of the bridge pair.
I used 2 PC with gigabit NIC, use cat6 with short cable i've got speed 1000Mbps, but with longer cable(around 30meters) speed is 100Mbps. I'm looking forward to seeing from you soon.
I am installing a network in my small business and was given a spool of Cat5 cable to run wires... I know the length in feet of cable that I was given, but I was wondering if there is some kind of markers on the cable to tell me how much is left... I will be charged for it by foot after I'm done, and I want to know how much I've used. Do I have to just use a measuring tape? Seems unnecessarily complicated... I've checked the wire but can't see any marker of the length remaining.
I have a WRP400 connected to the internet, and have a WAG160N that I no longer use and would like to to extend my wireless range.I connected them via an Ethernet cable and it seems to work fine without configuring the WAG160N (seemed to just work automatically), but I can't access the WAG160N admin GUI (tried all sorts of IPs in the WRP400 range) to change any settings (frustrating). My guess is that it's probably not the best way to set it up.
1. Set the IP of the WAG160N (The WRP400 is set to 192.168.15.1, so should I change the WAG160N to 192.168.15.2. Or should I be setting it within the WRP400's DHCP range which starts at 192.168.15.100?)
2. Swtich off the DHCP on the WAG160N. (I think I tried this late last night and it wouldn't assign an IP to my laptop, unless I did somehting wrong)
3. Connect the two using a ethernet cable.
After I do this I should still be able to access the WAG160N's admin GUI with the IP assigned in step 1?
I have a Linksys WRT120N plugged directly into my cable modem upstairs, an 8 port switch plugged into it, an ethernet cable from it run downstairs in my house to another 8 port switch and a Linksys E4200 plugged into it. I want both routers to allow me to connect to the internet wirelessly if possible. I cannot even access the E4200 from a browser, because the IP adress 192.168.1.1 goes directly to the WRT120N.
I want to "stack" a couple 300 series gigabit switches with fiber using a pair of MGBSX1 GBICs and a single LC to LC patch cable.Is there a minimum supported patch cable length in this configuration?
I am relocating UPS units and will need to buy longer power cables to extend from our 4506 and 4510 to the new location.I think I am looking at 15 to 20 feet but I am going to confirm. Is it okay to use longer cables?
I am running a wrt54g and I was woundering what is the longest rj45 cable length I can run?
I notice running about 30 plus feet connection does not work. When I cut off about 5 feet it worked. Seems I can only run a ceratin amount of cable length with this router.
I have a Dlink DIR-655 router for my wired and wireless router for my home network. I have a 100ft cat6 ethernet cable. I pulled it from the router to my home server in my basement.
Does the 100ft cable make a difference or does the fact that it's a cat6 cable make a difference?
When moving similar files at work, it's faster. So I'm trying to find out what's the bottleneck at home. What speeds should I expect for a home network?
I have an arris broadband modem combo and the wifi signal in the basement is poor I tryed to connect a netgear n 300 wireless router (wnr2000v3) to extend the wifi with an ethernet cable but the neatgear router does not have an internet connection.
I have a Linksys BEFSX41 wired router. If I wanted to connect a second computer to my router, what would be the maximum length of cable I can use without experiencing any problems ?
Im cleaning up a recently inherited WCS server. The map im currently working on has the 1242 ap with AIR-ANT1728. When configuring the AP what should the elevation be for the antenna. It is currently set for 0 up with an azimuth of 90 degrees. All the AP's in our plant our mounted on roof girders with the antennas pointing down.
We have a vehicle with an AIRONET1300 wirless bridge and an outdoor antenna that looks like the AIR-ANT1728 for wirless point to point between two vehicles. I say looks like because I have no documentation as to what it actually is.
We have a 2800 router/HWIC-3G-CDNA-S 3G card with the small indoor antenna 3G-ANTM1919D for remote access to the cell phone towers.I want to buy a larger antenna for the 3G and move it outside of the vehicle.
My question is if I buy the 3G-ANTM-OUT-OM can I mount it outside on the same pole within inches of the AIR-ANT1728 ?
It seems one operates in MHZ and the other in GHZ but i'm not sure what mouting two strong itms like that together will do.
I have a set up 50 qty AP1242 (AIR-LAP1242AG-E-K9) installed with a single (1 qty) ANT1728 Antenna..I am not happy with the coverage..Is it possible that I can add another 1 qty of ANT1728 antenna to the exiting AP1242 to imporve the coverage?
AP1242 had dual RPC-TN connected. But I am not completely sure that wether 2 qty of antenna (ANT1728) can be connected to a single Access point (AP1242). I am also concern regarding the power requirement.
I would like to upgrade my existing Wlan to the following configration -AP1242 connected with dual antenna (AIR-ANT1728 x 2 qty) to improve the coverage.
the best antenna to use in high-ceiling environments, as in 25 feet or higher. He was in favor of using a high gain, omni, such as a the AIR-ANT1728. I was against this form of antenna due to their increased horizontal radiation and decrease of vertical. I was more in favor of an antenna similar to AIR-ANT24 30V-R. I've seen successful deployments with both options, but curious what the community has to say on the matter.
What is the maximum distance or safe distance this antenna can cover. I am using Aironet2602E access point. Because i couldnt understand the radiation pattern. There is 5 circle in the Radiation pattern but i dont know how to convert this is distance. Its only showing the DB.
I have no clue what kind of brand is the outdoor antenna. It plugs into a wap54g and I need an extension cable to my antenna, only like 6 feet, where can i buy this?
On our conference floor, AP 1242AG already exist but I am going to add AP 3602i to increase wireless coverage. . Any issue or concern with this type of setting?
is this possible, i need to convert a 1242AG Autonomous back and forth this weekend to use for a quick project for testing. i need to do: take the AP into LWAPP mode (i know how to do this with the aironet utility) take the ap from LWAPP back into a AP mode so i can use it as my access point again.

I need to bridge from our office to our shop that is around 800 feet away. Here are the Details
I need the 2.4 ghz antenna for client access (Iphones are not compatiable with 802.11a) The locations are 800 feet away but are line of sight. I need to use the 5ghz antenna for the bridge i have 2 aironet 1242ag's I have 2 2.4 ghz AIR-ANT3213 antennas (planned for client access) I have 2 2.4 ghz AIR-ANT2506 (maybe useless for this)
My problem is that the range of all the listed 5 ghz antennas. None that i can find will bridge 54mb over the 5ghz radio for greater than 170ft
The closest that i can find is AIR-ANT5195. If i put these on both sides and it is outdoors line of sight, will the best i can hope for is functioning and 6mb
