Cisco Wireless :: Configuring Antenna Gain On AIR-AP1131AG-AK9 After WLC Join?
Dec 8, 2010
I am currently working on a project where I need to design a complete wireless solution for a huge building. I performed the wireless rf survey by configuring the wap's to broadcast a SSID and walked around gathering rf coverage data. When configuring the test WAP's i did not join them to a lan controller ( AIR-WLC4402-50-K9 ) but simply created a static ip and ssid to broadcast but modified the internal antenna gain to +128 to change the direction of the broadcast. There are two other ap's already joined to the lan controller on a guest network (configured by another contractor) but when I go into the lan controller web gui I do not see anywhere that allows me to modify antenna gain on the individual WAPs. Also, once the waps join the lan controller they dont seem to be accessible via web. How I can I modify gain per wap?

I recently checked the output of one of my AP 3502AGN which are connected to a WiSM with the current 7.0.240.0 software. There I saw the following output:
show ap config 802.11b 3502AGN-1100c-1
Legacy Tx Beamforming ..................... ENABLED
Antenna Type............................... INTERNAL_ANTENNA

What is the impact of incorrectly setting the antenna gain on a the b/g radio of an AP would have on a WLAN?
I've come across a site where around a 3rd of the AP's had their antenna gain set to 0. I can only assume that something missed setting this during setup. The site uses 1242ABG AP's and each has 2 4941 antennas and i believe the gain should be set to 4 x 0.5dBi

a customer has bought a new AP 3500 with external antennas and he would like use his old antenna AIR-ANT2485P-R.
We have the option to configure the antenna parameter in WLC under Wireless > Access Points > Radios > 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n for external antenna and and using only port A.
But if we enable only one port (Example: port A) we will get a warning message: Need to have at least both dual mode antennas (antennas A and B) enabled
Is it not possible to use an antenna like ANT2485P-N together with an Access Point like 3502E?

I had problems joining a 1131AG AP to a "new" 5508 WLC with 7.4.100.0 running. This AP has been connected to a, for me unknown controller for years. Now the customer wants to move this AP to a newer 5508 controller with 7.4.100.0 We [URL] could not get this AP to the controller connected. Now I have this AP on my desk. I have a 5508 (7.4.100.0) as well. I connected the AP to the same network as the WLC Management -> AP did not connect, tried to download the "new" IOS but didn't seem to work, same as already in the old tread. So I tried to login to the AP, but it seemed to have a for me unknown Account / Password.
-> I did a reset of the AP by pressing the mode button (about 2-3 sec.) during Power on (not connected to the network). Now I could log on to the AP. I deleted six crashinfos and connected the AP back to the network.
Now the AP joined the controller.
Does a "unknown" Password prevent the AP to join to a other WLC?
The AP hat 15740928 bytes total (6409728 bytes free) space on the Flash: was this enough for the new image? 15740928 bytes total (7798272 bytes free) after deleting the crashinfos
The customer has more AP's that has to join the new controller, would be nice that we don't have to reset all APs.

Today I want to build a wireless bridge using AIR-AP1131AG (running WLC) and TP-LINK wireless router. The result is failed. May I know AIR-AP1131AG is support bridging the wireless connection with other vendor's access point or not?
In the TP-Link I already match its SSID, Channel and put the mac-address of the AIR-AP1131AG. In the WLC I already see too TP-LINK mac-address is already become a client.

I have a Brand new AP that was bought for a site which has a controller, however it was never installed. I was wondering can you downgrade this AP to make it work in stand alone mode as a normal AP?

my customer has a very basic LAN+WLAN configuration:
- 1 switch (not Cisco)
- 1 DSL router which is the default gateway (not Cisco)
- 2 Wi-Fi Access Points (Cisco AIR-AP1131AG-E-K9)
If he tries to establish a PPTP VPN when he is connected to the wired LAN, it works but when he tries the same from the wireless LAN it doesn't work. He says he'd tested it with Windows Firewall disabled. Is there any configuration command that can enable/disable PPTP VPN traffic pass through a Wi-Fi connection? I've never seen something like this and I use PPTP VPNs over a Wi-Fi connection every day without any particular configuration on the access point.
Here's the APs config:
hostname ...!enable secret ...!aaa new-model!!aaa authentication login default local!aaa session-id common!!dot11 syslog!dot11 ssid ... authentication open authentication key-management wpa version 2 guest-mode infrastructure-ssid wpa-psk ascii ...!power inline negotiation prestandard source!!!bridge irb!!interface Dot11Radio0 no ip address no ip route-cache !

my hardware set-up : 2x AP 1100 series, 2x AP1131AG (not connected to a Cisco Switch)...all with the latest Cisco iOS
What i want to do is connect these APs and broadcast the same SSID (e.g Aironet and NOT Aironet1,Aironet2..etc). Doing that, a user with a laptop can roam between these APs and won't have to re-enter the password of the SSID every time he changes AP. I would also like the encryption to be with a 128bit password key. From what i have read, i need a local authenticator to do what (Something called Local Radius Server).

Just got my Linksys EA4500 router today.The only confusing thing, not not well explained by Linksys . Is the USB storage set up.One thing (very important) Linksys has failed to explain how to gain access to the USB storage once connected to the router. Once the USB storage drive it set up. Or at least I think it's set up. Nothing shows up on my network page. So how am I to get access to the drive? If it don't show up?I need to know how to gain access to the USB storage drive that is connected to the Linksys router.
This is how I think it is to be set up. Again the instructions are not all that clear how to set up. And where is this widget on the homepage to be located?

We have a site running 2 1131AG access points on different floors with the same SSID.There have been issues with connections dropping over the last 2-3 months to some newer laptops and iphones that have been introduced to the network. It is almost totally intermittent and after updating the IOS and laptop drivers where possible, there is a still a problem that wont go away.I have some example logging from both AP's when this happens (apologies for the date/time differences, however the events are all sequential)

I bought this router from a rummage sale, and it works great. The only problem is, I cannot access it to set up a password. I have downloaded the manual, and tried the troubleshooting. I disabled the firewall, did the reset button on the back of the router, but all I keep getting is "The Connection Has Timed Out" error message. I also went to the emulator site, but it said that there was no support any longer for that model. I have tried this on both Internet Explorer and Firefox. I personally have Windows 7, and on Comcast.

Normaly all incoming IP addresses can use NAT to gain access. I would like to make a rule that only one IP address can connect to my router and use that port or range of ports defined.
Is there a way to configure a SRP 527W on such a way?
If not possible now, can I expect a software update ?

Can a router connect to a switch to gain additional ports (to both access the internet AND to maintain an internal / home network)?IP line to house, connected to modem, connected to 4-port router, connected to 8-port switch. Now, each of six rooms in my house has one Cat-5e (RJ-45) jack whose run terminates to the switch. In some of these rooms, I need two wired devices (wireless isn't an option for the devices). Can I use the LAN port of a spare, wireless router (to also use as an access point for cell phones, etc) to plug into the jack and increase the number of ports in that room to have a functional LAN and WAN? I have read tons of info on plugging switches into routers to increase the number of ports, but not the other way around. Plus, ripping open walls to expand the network isn't feasible either. My other thought, would be to replace the switch with another (2nd) router, by connecting the 1st and 2nd routers together, and have the runs terminate to the open LAN ports of both routers --= and then expand the ports in those rooms by also using additional, spare wireless routers.

got problems connecting to any internet connection on a lenovo G555 laptop with a atheros AR9285 wireless network adapter. Can access all the connections with a different laptop but not my lenovo so I know it is not a problem with the routers.Tried doing a system restore, tried disabling the network device then re-enabling it, tried switching the wireless on and off as well as restarting the laptop but no luck.

I have a Cisco 881 setup with the following VPN config.
[code]...
The client is able to connect just fine to the network via VPN, but I am unable to gain access to any of the local resources. I know 192.168.1.1 has SSH running and 192.168.1.50 has telnet running but if I try to connect to either using the correct program they just timeout. I am really at a loss on why the vpn connection connects but I can not gain access to any of the resources on the VPN network.

I am new to Cisco wireless solution and would like to ask how to add the AP to the WLC properly. All Cisco 1041 and Cisco 2500 WLC are new. I connect those AP and WLC to the switch without any VLAN tag and the AP can gain the IP address from our DHCP correctly. However, the AP 1041 could not join the WLC successfully.
WLC: Cisco 2500
IP Address: 192.168.1.225

I have a AIR-LAP1242G-A-K9. I have several question:
1. Does the antenna is a MUST for it to work.
2. If I have a 1 unit of AIR-ANT2422DG-R (antenna) , does the wireless access still work? Do I need 2 antenna
3. If I have a 1 unit of AIR-ANT2422DG-R, does 802.11 b supported.
