We just got (2) Air-lap1242ag-a-k9 units here and i am also working on (2) air-ap1242ag-a-k9 units also.
my question is this, do the lap units function the same as the air-ap1242ag units?
if not, what will it take to make the lap units function like the ap1242 units?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a cisco AP1242AG-A-K9, I would like to set it up to connect to a proxy server inside of the US. Does any know if this is possible?
I would like my IP Adress through the router to be a IP Address based in the states, thus the proxy server would achieve that. I can do this on my PC, but I would like my router to do it, then all the devices on the network to do that.
I have a Cisco AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9 Autonomous AP running firmware 12.4(25d)JA. I wish to set up multiple SSID's (2) each having their own separate security types. Both security types may end up being WPA2, but would have separate keys. I do not have a managed switch, the AP is connected to a "dumb" switch in an office environment, with no VLANS. Also this is only for 1 access point.
I have tried creating 2 SSID's, but my issue is that only one SSID will actually work at a time, meaning that only the native VLAN in the AP will actually allow wired traffic through it's SSID. How can I set up 2 different SSID's, with 2 independant security types and have them work simultaneously? Is this functionality supported by this AP?I feel that this is possible, as I can easily set this up on other access points from other manufacturers.
I configured for basic with a single ssid and no security authentication open . so after the clients get connected an hour or couple hours the AP signal fall and I can't see the SSID ...

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a big difference in operating AP's when they are uplinked at 100mb vs 1000mb? We have 2 "main" offices that have AP's that are all connected to our access switches at 100mb. Recently with the addition of mobile devices, phones, etc we are seeing some issues. Today, we had a meeting room that had 20+ people connected to one AP and they started seeing issues of people getting disconncted or unable to connect.Just wondering if the uplink could have anything to do with this, or if we are just over subscribing the APs?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have done a wireless site survey at a library and one AP541N will cover everything pretty well. They do have one spot where the radio strenth is not quite as strong, but you would never buy a second access point for just that one area. I did the SIte Survey using a 541N Access point.
Here is my question. I see that the Aironet 1041 is very similar in price and according to the documentation has a stronger power rating and higher antenna gain. Why would I not buy an Aironet 1041?
We are just mounting to a wall and are planning on using the pwrin4 to provide POE for whichever we buy.
I have a wireless modem but its a sucky one. It was one of those free ones from verizon. Anyways, I don't get good signal in certain places in my house, so i am interested in knowing which would be better a wifi range extender or a good wireless modem.

We are currently running wireless at our 3 primary campus locations, and looking to add it to our 3 satellite locations. We use 4402 WLCs at our primary locations with a mix of 1140 and 1240 APs.
I have a number of existing 1140G Access points.I now need to purchase a couple of new AP's to expand coverage and it makes sense to go with the latest N standard ones.Currently I only have standalone models and at the moment I don't have the budget to purchase a management box to allow me to get centrally managed models.
If I purchase 1140N standalone AP's now, can I convert the to centrally managed ones later? If yes, Any disadvantage in doing this?
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 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 have a Linksys E1200 router, which replaced a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. The WRT54G ran perfectly, but did not support wireless N, so I replaced it with the Linksys E1200. The router is physically located in a good spot, up high and centrally located in my house.Problem is, my download speed on my android tablet, xBox, iPhone is very slow, yet my upload speed is screaming fast.
Wireless: Ping: 30ms, Download 1.93Mbps, Upload 6.27Mbps.
Wired: Ping: 14, Download 17.88 Mbps, Upload 6.7Mbps.
I've changed channels on my router, changed channel width. Connection type is DHCP. My security is WPA2. I use the wireless MAC filter (allow only these MAC addresses access). No parental controls, I don't use port forwarding or triggering, and my firmware is up-to-date. why my speed changed from the older router to the newer router?
I'm adding some additional AP's (3502s) to an environment that is all 1131AG AP's. The DHCP is configured for DHCP option 43 for remote sites for layer 3 discovery. Since only one AP mode can use option 43, I've added a DNS entry for cisco-lwapp-controller in my local domain.My assumption here is that the new 3502's will be able to use DNS for discovery, while any additional 1131AG would continue to use DHCP option 43. will this work in a mixed environment?The new AP briefly showed up on my controller, but then disappeared. The LED is cycling red, green, off - indicating it is still in the discovery process. Could I effectively remove the option 43 in DHCP and have all AP's use DNS? Is this as reliable as option 43? What is the best practice for discovery?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI just got a new E2500 and out of the box the system uses the same SSID for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Obviously you CAN configure them to use different SSID's, though. Should I make them different or keep them the same? I don't really want to mess around with having 2 different SSID's if I don't get a real benefit.Will most devices that support both (like a new laptop) find and use the 5 automatically?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe EA4500 web-settings application asks for a username and password. The username is "admin" and the password is my long (60 character) wpa key. I see where I can change the password but it says I'll lose all wireless connections. This doesn't make sense to me. I would think the router administration username and password are completely separate from the ssid and wpa key. This was the case with my earlier LinkSys router. I'd like a router administration username to be something other than the generic "admin" and a password that is easier than my long wpa key. I want a separate ssid and wpa key (what I currently have).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an E3000 Dual Band. On my 5Ghz channel, I can select Auto(DFS) or I can manually select a channel.First of all, what does the DFS stand for? My 2.4 GhZ channel only has Auto, not Auto(DFS).
Second, when I select Auto(DFS), my wireless speed defaults to 144Mbps, and is only a single channel (I can see it in the in SSIDer utility). When I manually select a channel, no matter what channel it is, I get 300mbps and I can see that the signal is two channels (for instance, 36+40). Why Auto(DFS) doesn't automatically select the best channel and fastest speed?
I got my WRT54GL v1.1 yesterday and connected it to my pc [wired] and netbook [wireless]. I thought all was well until I noticed that my Magic Jack VoIP telephone began dropping calls after about 1 minute. My first course of action was to disable SPI firewall in router and reboot. That had no affect on the situation, then I noticed that my send light on my cale modem [ no manufacturer listed on unit] was not blinking as it has done before the router installation. I reverted to my cable modem to pc only set up and my Magic Jack worked just fine. I need to use the router for wireless, so I need to find a solution to this problem. I took a look at my firmware version and saw that it was not current, but I wanted to bring my problem here for a possible solution be for I flashed new firmware.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWe are trying to navigate the waters in choosing between a in-house, controller-based, wireless network solution or a cloud-based solution. We have been presented with the usual suspects in cloud-based (Aerohive, Meracki, etc) and with Cisco (5500) and Aruba on the other side. We are a multi-campus organization with approx. 200 APs.Any hard reasons why go with a controller-based vs. cloud-based solution? If we must keep the conversation limited to Cisco, why go Meracki over Cisco's WLC solutions or vise versa?

which is better to use from 1PC to multiple displays?
View 1 Replies View Relatedrecently I had a power cut in the office and my Cisco ASA 5505 512MB Base 10 user License stopped working.it was not possible to establish L2L VPN.I replaced it with another ASA 5505 with 256MB RAM Base 10 user License.I restored the configuration and everything is working now.The main problem is that before (with the 512MB ASA) I had two L2L tunnels established and many clients (up to 30 clients)using the two tunnels. Now with the 256MB ASA when the clients being in the L2L reach 10 clients,the other clients stop working inside the VPN, they cannot reach hosts which are on the other end of the L2L. This could be due to te less amount of RAM ?? Otherwise I can't explain this behaviour.Could I solve this buying the 50 user license upgrade ?But in my previous ASA I had the Basic 10 user license and everything was working with many clients reaching hosts behind the two tunnels.
