Cisco Wireless :: CAP-1602E - External Antennas In Separate Rooms
Feb 14, 2013
I have a question about external antennas on an access point. I have to plan a wireles solution, that also includes coverage in the industrial freezers. The freezers are one part of the sotck rooms, so the general coverage will be done with 1602I access points.
Since there are quite a lot of freezers in one location, installing separate AP in every freezer will be very expensive. I wondered if there is a possibility to put one 1602 access point with external antennas outside the freezer and then extend the antennas with 2m cables inside different freezers (1602E has three external antennas, so one antenna to each freezer).
Would this installation even work?
The freezers are quite small rooms maybe 2-3m2 sow the coverage is not a problem. But does this installation support multiple clients per AP in different freezers doing stocktaking with handheld terminals?

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?

My desktop PC which has an Asus PCE-N13 Wireless Adapter with two stock SMA antennas receives a very poor signal due to the significant distance between my desktop and the router.In order to improve my signal strength, I thought about buying better 3rd party antennas and specifically external ones which I could place closer to the router that connect to the SMA connections on my wireless adapter via a wire. There's many of these antennas for sale I see, but I'm unsure which is best suited for my situation.

Is it possible to use external antennas on AP541N set in WDS mode? I would only need to use 802.11g mode 54mbps.I believe that the antennas shipped with the access points are removable RP-SMA.

I have not done the firmware for the units yet but have had only 1 outage thus far (but I think it was a power issue over the weekend).What I have done, 3 weeks ago, is put external antenna's on the 2 units which are 15 feet apart at 15dBi.The output is 40hz and I changed the latency time settings on the main unit, leaving the secondary at factory.This seems to be working for me so far. Usually goes down over the weekend and have to reset Mondays,but not this week. I am afraid of running the firmware because then it may become unstable again.

Our bank is required to do disaster recovery testing. We are doing this offsite at one of our director's businesses. His setup is as follows: His ISP is Time Warner which provided him with a wall unit and a switch He has a Cisco 1841 router out from the Time Warner switch and then down to his internal network, so TW wall unit --> TW switch --> Cisco 1841 --> internal network.The IPs provided to them from TW are 74.219.xxx.1-254 We are trying to use the external address of 74.219.xxx.222, which his business is not currently using internally The Cisco 1841 router holds and NATs all of these addresses currently. We have a Cisco 800 series that is a dedicated router that needs an unused external static IP setup separate from their network. We were trying to plug into their Cisco 1841 and give the 800 series an internal address of 192.168.xxx.222. This will not work for our bank's core processing data center. It has to be out of the TW switch and have an address of the 74.219.xxx.222.
We tried plugging into the TW switch and making the 800 series router parallel to the 1841 router. Communication is not functioning when set up this way. This was tried on a laptop before using the 800 series router. Is there a way to pass through the 74.219.xxx.222 address internally through the Cisco 1841 so we can connect the 800 series directly to this address and the 1841 doesn't use or NAT it in any way?
We had contacted TW support and they made it sound like we would have to block out some addresses and resubnet our director's network. This probably will not be an option. Basically we need to pass the 74.219.xxx.222 addresses internally and have the Cisco 1841 pretend not to see it at all.So we would like to have 74.219.xxx.1-254 into the TW wall unit --> TW switch --> Cisco 1841 --> all 74. addresses resolved to 192.168.xxx.1-254 to internal EXCEPT 74.219.xxx.222 which would pass through to the Cisco 800 series router.

I have got a 1TB external HDD...I want to use this to backup my data (dokuments , pics , video) that are on 2 desktops and one laptop---
AS I understand the terminology a I won't have enough room to do image backups (these back up all info incl OS ??) as on pc is usingb 677 gb and the other 400 gb ---- and anyway I can re-install windows if anything goes wrong...
SO---am I able to do this-
1. connect the ext- HDD to PC running win 7 64 bit....create a folder called "win 7 64 bit" and then drag and drop filesand folders into that folder(or use windows backup..which i am unfamilar with)
2. then connect to PC running Vista 64 bit ..create a f�lder called "Vista 64 bit" and do as above....
3. Do the same for the laptop running win 7 32 bit
Am I right in assumming that because it's just data I can put info from different OS on to it without and conflicts when connecting it to different Pc's?

Due to special circumstances we have 2 ISP links on an ASA5510. I am trying to terminate some L2L VPN tunnels on one link and others on the second ISP Link, eg below:
LOCAL FIREWALL
crypto map outside-map_isp1 20 match address VPN_ACL_Acrypto map outside-map_isp1 20 set peer 1.1.1.1crypto map outside-map_isp1 20 set transform-set TS-Generic
crypto map outside-map_isp2 30 match address VPN_ACL_Bcrypto map outside-map_isp2 30 set peer 3.3.3.3crypto map outside-map_isp2 30 set transform-set TS-Generic
crypto map outside-map-isp1 interface ISP_1crypto map outside-map-isp2 interface ISP_2
crypto isakmp enable ISP_1crypto isakmp enable ISP_2
route ISP_1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 1.1.1.254route ISP_2 3.3.3.3 255.255.255.255 2.2.2.254
Establising the VPN tunnels in either direction when using ISP_1 works fine establishing in either direction from remote access users and multiple L2L tunnels (only showing one for example).
On ISP_2
1. Peer 3.3.3.3 device establishes a VPN tunnel, but the return traffic does NOT get back to devices on 3.3.3.3 tunnel.
2. The local firewall does NOT establish a VPN tunnel going to 3.3.3.3
It would seem to indicate that the problems lies with this multihomed firewall not directing the traffic correctly to either return down and establised VPN tunnel (point1) or to intiate a tunnel if none exists (point 2).
Reconfiguring the VPN tunnel peer for 3.3.3.3 to be on ISP_1 of the local firewall, all springs into life! There are sufficient license etc...

I am using a 6500 with FWSM. I need to separate an internal server/HQ network from 3 or 4 different external connections. The external networks do not necessarily need to be isolated from each other.I have the option of using a 3 layer model: L2 Access layer to SVIs on the Distribution layer and then L3 to the 6500.L2 Access, connecting directly to the 6500s, with the SVIs on the FWSM.Is it better to have the FWSM outside the MSFC or Inside? Am i correct in thinking that "inside" vs "outside" is determined by whether the SVI's are configured on the FWSM or the MSFC? is there any performance impact from having the FWSM doing the routing instead of the MSFC.If the vlans are all configured on the FWSM, what is the 6500 doing, other than providing switch ports?

Client PC attached AP can ping outside anywhere. but, AP can't accept ping from outside. of cource there is no Firewall. It just router on a stick topology. I was surprised that phenomenon. How is this occur? AP has filtering feature?

We are deploying Aironet1602e AP's with the Aironet dual-band dipole antennas (air-ant-2524dw-r) into a warehouse location with very low ceiling clearance. To avoid head bumps and broken antennas, we are considering leaving the antennas in the folded position. How much detrimental effect will this have on the signal strength and pattern?

I have a Linksys e3000 and a Linksys WRT120NVery simple setup. the 3000 is in my office. There is a cable that goes from this routerto the living room across the house, it is just laying there. Since I cannot get a wireless signal into that room,I would like, using the cable that is hanging there to make use of the other linksys and provide a wireless signal to the living room, all under the same network. In essence, extending the wireless network using the cable in the living room that is connected to the main router in my office.My question is, without touching the master router, how would I set the 2nd router in the living room up?I understand that DHCP on the 2nd router needs to be turned off, and a channel selected so that it does not overlap. Same SSID, Sam WPA2 key.Or would there be a device better suited for this?I do not want to extend the 2 rooms wirelessly I want to use the cable, then use the wireless in the living room for wireless devices etc.

I recently bought a new D-Link DIR 615 but I dont get adequate range in the rooms farthest away from the router. I have an old D-Link DIR 634M router which I'm told can be used as a wireless repeater.I went through several articles that describe connecting the two routers through a LAN cable. However is there a way to do the same without using a cable of any sorts?

I am new to these forums and I have upgraded from firmware 1.00 on the DIR-815 to the 1.01 firmware and once I upgraded, I can log into Xbox, but can't host party chats or host game rooms. I also noticed that any and all messages sent from friends didnt show until I rebooted my console. Something is SERIOUSLY WRONG here and would like a MOD to comment on this.

I am currently using a DIR-655 for the home wireless network.DSL into a 2-Wire home portal (not wireless) and ethernet into the DIR-655.I need to connect a number of wired devices in a couple of different rooms. Some streaming HDTV content to other devices in other rooms. I'm thinking of the following:
-DIR-655 routing between the DSL subnet to the internet, the 2.4GHz wireless and a couple of wired devices.
-DAP-1522 routing between the 2.4GHz wireless, 5GHz wireless, and a few wired devices.
-DAP-1522 bridging between the 5GHz wireless and a few wired devices.
All devices will/may need internet access.HDTV content would be between wired devices and only over the 5GHz wireless (no HDTV to/from internet).Is the DAP-1522 the right device(s) for this?

I am expanding coverage in a big outdoor area.Most of the area is covered with AP1552 with AIR-ANT2506 5,2 db antennas.At the border of the area i have some masts where i can place ap's.Would it make sense to use directional antenna's there? I have a big open area where it is not possible to place ap's.The only placement is a mast in the middle of the area.I have a AP1552 with 5,2 db antennas there.Can i get better coverage if i place 3 or 4 ap's with directional antennas ?Or should i try with a 12dBi AIR-ANT24120 ?

I am building a BOM for a customer and I need to present cheaper options than 3500 or 3600 APs. I thought of these two models but I don't know what models of antennas to pick.1602 is a 3X3 MIMO with 3 antenna connectors. How many 2.4 GHz and how many 5.8 GHz antennas should I pick for each radio?2602 is a 3X4 MIMO with 4 antenna connectors. In this case I suppose there are 2 connectors per radio.

1. Can the C1200 antennas work on the 1262 ?
2. Can the 2.4Ghz antenna work on the 5Ghz ports on the 1262 ?
3. The 1262 has 6 antenna ports (3 2.4ghz and 3 5ghz), can the (3) 2.4 Ghz antenna be used only as i only have antennas for the C1200 Access point which are 2.4 Ghz.

I would like to install three antennas (2450S) on some AP1261 that i wold spread out 10 feet apart. I am not able to get the antenna on the C connector to transmit. I am not using 802.11N. This is for a warehouse where all the WiFi devices are 802.11G. My question is: can you get all three connectors on the AP to transmit.

I'm working in a campus environment that has an existing wireless network using a Cisco AIR-WLC2112-K9 controller.There are 8 AIR-LAP1242G-A-K9 access points connected to the controller. Each access point has a 5.0GHZ 4.5dbi Cisco omnidirectional antenna, although the AP only supports 2.4GHZ.
Q1. Why a 5.0ghz antenna might had been used with a 2.4ghz AP, and if we can expect increased performance if we replace the antennas with 2.4ghz ones?
Q2. On the controller, the antenna gain is set to 0 for each AP. Is there also a benefit to leaving that 0 as opposed to 9 for 4.5dbi?

I am currently looking for informations about access point 2602e, more precisly about antennas.This AP have four RTNC connectors for external antennas, but I found these table into Cisco documentation: [code] When I see that, I understand that we only need, to transmit, three antennas with 2,4 Ghz (which is the only band we will use in a first time), but four with 5 Ghz.I also found these informations, in the same documentation:The 2602E models are configured with up to four external dual-band dipole antennas, and two 2.4-GHz/5-GHz dual-band radios. The radios and antennas support frequency bands 2400–2500 MHz and 5150–5850 MHz through a common dual-band RF interface. Features of the external dual-band dipole antennas are:
• Four RTNC antenna connectors on the top of the access point
• Three TX and four RX antennas
My question: with four antennas, we have three TX and four RX, is it for 2,4 Ghz, 5 Ghz or both?

My fiance recently signed up for the Screen-wise Panel for Google research. Basically they monitor your TV usage and your internet usage. As part of the program they installed a Cisco WIFI router. I've got no issue with them logging the sites visited etc but I'm a little worried about them possible collecting private information (banking / work related stuff) that I don't want going out there. According to what I've read what's supposed to happen is they replace your router with the new Cisco router.The "technician" who came in and installed the router was actually a builder and not an IT technician and rather than replace our router he connected the Cisco router into port 4 of our router... I wasn't in at the time.
What I was looking to do is separate Port 4 of my router into a separate VLAN that can access the internet, but not access anything on ports 1-3, or the wireless. However, I want to be able to see everything on port 4 from the other side (in other words I want to see "into" the port 4 VLAN, but don't want them to see out). I also wanted DHCP to assign IP addresses correctly depending on where you were plugged in. In this example the first VLAN (your current router ip address) is going to be on 192.168.1.1, and the second VLAN (the new on we create on port 4) is going to be on 192.168.2.1.This is exactly what I'm looking to do, I could then connect the kids machines / tablets / ipods to the Cisco router and have the main machine and my work laptop on the main router... but I don't have a clue how to do it. </quote> Is this something that I am able to do with the Netgear router I own and is it hard to set up?
