Cisco Wireless :: E4200 - Use RE1000 Like Repeater Of First One
Aug 28, 2012
I need to set my wireless network with those equipments. I have the E4200 with RE1000 in my old place, with no problems. In my new place, there is a blind spot and I bought another RE1000 to use like a repeater of the first repeater (is that possible????). Does not work.
Searching for answers in the internet, I found how to set the WDS (available on the RV110W) :
A Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is a system that enables the wireless interconnection of access points in a network. It allows a wireless network to be expanded using multiple access points without the need for a wired backbone to link them.
Can I do it with my equipments, or I have to buy the WAP4410N?
I recently bought a Cisco RE1000 wireless repeater to boost the wireless signal to my garage office. Since then the signal has been intermittent, fluctuating between strong and weak signals, sometimes dropping off completely. Today I finally uplugged it, and the signal strength seems the same, even steadier, though that could be just the way the wind is blowing today.
How do I know if I'm picking up the wireless or repeater signal? Could it be interfering with my basic signal? How do I know which signal I'm getting?
I use my e2000 as router and want to use the e4200 as repeater. so if i connect wireless to my e4200 i can see all my devices also the one on the e2000. How to setup the e42000 ?
I just set up a brand new LinksysE4200 router at one end of my home, and a Linksys RE1000 range expander at the other end in order to provide full WiFi coverage to my entire house. Everything is working great except for one important detail.. There is currently no way to disable SSID broadcast on the RE1000 range expander! I just flashed it with the latest firmware (v1.0.01 build 2, Jul 22, 2011) , but I'm still unable to disable it, even though it is disabled on the E4200 from which it's receiving the signal it's rebroadcasting. I am seriously considering returning the RE1000. Linksys. add the ability to disable SSID broadcast on the RE1000 in a (not too distant) future firmware upgrade! As far as I'm concerend, this is a MUST HAVE feature in order for this product to even be considered for use in any sensitive network environment.
Firstly I cannot get my Linksys RE1000 to work with my network having tried the set up CD on 2 computers (mac and windows). The main router is a BT Home Hub 2.0
The main router is in the basement where out internet connection enters the house, also in the basement is our LAN board where we have ethernet cables extending to parts of the house. There is weak wireless signal from groundfloor up to the top floor so wanted to find something where I could plug into the ethernet port and it would broadcast an wireless network to the upper floors/areas with a weaker signal. Thought the RE1000 would do this job but i can't get it to do it wirelessly let alone connect it to the main router using a ethernet cable.
I am having a setup problem with the RE1000. When I plug it in, my laptop is able to see it, and I'm able to access it and attempt to set it up. However, once I tell it how to connect to my main wireless router, and it attempts to log onto my wireless network, the RE1000 disappears from my list of networks. My blu-ray player also cannot see it.
I have an RE1000 between my EA3500 router and two Panasonic WiFi network cameras. Sometimes the two cameras appear in the RE1000 Wireless Clients Table, sometimes one appears, and sometimes none appear. It looks like the cameras jump between the RE1000 and the EA3500. When this jump occurs, I loose connection to the cameras. If I restart the camera, it sometimes works but not always. When I disconnect the RE1000 it works OK because both cameras always use the EA3500. But the signal is very weak.
What do I need to do to get my EA3500 and RE1000 to work well with my two Panasonic network cameras?
Note that I am using 802.11b/g on the router and cameras.
I recently installed an RE1000, which seemed to be working fine. Then, on 3 PC's with no wireless adapter installed we began being prompted for user name and password for the wireless router. Once I unplugged to extender the problem went away. I know what you're thinking: Maybe I just think there's no wireless adapter on these PC's. NO, I looked in device manager and the only network adapter installed is the ethernet adapter. These are all 4+ year old machines with no hardware changes made to them. Wireless adapters are not necessarily standard issue on old towers--even on new towers. The Acer I'm using right now was purchased new in November 2011 and did not come with a wireless adapter installed.
I have a Wireless router & two network extender from Cisco RE1000.I need to connect them to reach a distance over 150 feet. can I connect an extender to another & to the router?I tried this setup but I keep loosing the connection. it might be the router it self or the tow wireless extenders unable to communicate probably.I need some advise if the two extenders cannot be connected to each other, what are the possibilities.
The case is I have a Linksys WRT 54 G2 V1.5 router for my wireless connection but the signal does not get to the other side of the apartment. I Got a RE1000 wireless extender, someone said this is what i needed, and it worked fine for a few hours, but then it keeps dropping my internet connection everywhere in the apartment.
Actually i´m working in a departamet of networking in my business with only cisco devices. I used to work with the wap200 wireless-G Acceess point (Small bussiness), but now i have a problem with it. I´m trying set the wap 200 as a wireless repeater for WRT54G but it´s a impossible.
I have spent countless weekends trying to configure the WAP 4410 as a wireless repeater. From what I see the instructions and help screens seem to be incomplete or the WAP is not capable of this function even though it is available.It will not connect to the modem wirelessly as a repeater. I have tried numberous settings including the same channel and SSID without avail. As soon as I disconnect it from the wireless modem it will no longer connect to the internet.I have an older WRT 610N which will connect to the modem as a repeater so I don't think it is at the modem end.Searches have indicated others with a similar problem but I don't see any viable solutions except to buy and connect to another WAP 4410.Contacting Cisco for suppor by chat t has been pointless. Either they are not available when I am or they are clueless.
I would like to ask for assistance on how to configure one unit WAP4410N access point to work as repeater to one unit WRT120N wireless router.
As a background, I had one WRT120N already in my house before I bought one WAP4410N as advised by a Linksys guy. I wanted to wirelessly extend the signal of my WRT120N wherever its signal is so low around my house. The WAP4410N should work as repeater to WRT120N.
I already configured WAP4410N to work as repeater by enabling all the choices in its wireless AP mode like the “wireless WDS repeater” and the “wireless client/repeater” but to no avail. I successfully setup a similar scenario before using the old pair of one WRT54G and one WAP54G. I replaced the old pair with the newer one ( WRT120N and one WAP4410N).
Is the tandem of WAP4410N and WRT120N can be configured technically as like as what I wanted? Do I need to upgrade the firmware of both devices? Did I miss something in the configuration?
We have a WAP4410N as a Access Point and a second WAP4410N as a Wireless WDS Repeater. The settings are as of below.
We couldn't get the mobile users to get connected to the Access Point. But if we uncheck the option "Allow wireless signal to be repeated by a repeater.", it works.
I have an AIR-AP1131AG-E-K9 running as root AP with three SSID's (mbssid), all WPA-2 PSK, IOS 12.4(25d)JA Now I would like to use an AIR-AP1231G-E-K9 as repeater for one of the SSID's (all three are AFAIK not possible), IOS 12.3.8-JEE(ED) So only one SSID is used.
I use exactly the same shared secrets and security settings on both devices, on the repeater the SSID is designated as infrastructure-ssid.Unfortunately I have the problem that the repeater AP cannot associate with the root AP.I have verified that aironet extensions are enabled, same security settings are used and checked many sites on the net which describe how to configure a repeater AP. Is there any incompatibility between these two APs? I have two of the AIR-AP1231-G-E-K9 APs available, do I need to use the same models?
I would like to provide WiFi in a big house of 4 floors so I have installed 1 WAP4410N wired to the Internet router to act as access point and I have configured 3 others WAP4410N as WDS repeater of the first one.In the first one (the AP), I have checked the option "Allow Wireless Signal to be repeated by a repeater" then entered the 3 repeaters' MAC addresses as allowed devices to repeat the signal.
Is that configuration OK ? Is there any way to add another (a fourth) repeater to this configuration ? Because there is only 3 fields to specify allowed repeaters' MAC addresses in the AP.
I have a WRT160N and a WAP4410N but can not get WAP function as a repeater. I have already put as Wireless Client / Repeater and Wireless WDS Repeater. I notice they are both with the same settings security. View attach file.
configuration WAP4410n.I configure 1 wap4410n mode access point, is ok.I place 6 wap4410n in building as wireless repeater.I can not configure the right sequence.How do I set up 6 repeaters with access point ?
I have a linksys WRT120N connected to the internet, and I want to set up my WAP2000 as a repeater. I followed all instructions, same SSID, Security, Channel, etc (y left the IP by default, though) but devices connected to the WAP2000 don´t get an IP and can´t connect to the internet. I wanted to kno if the WRT120n´s signal can be repeated, and if so if I need to change any configuration parameter.
Currently I have a WAP4410N setup and would like to add a second WAP4410N but as wireless repeater. I want my users to have wireless access without the need to keep changing the wireless connection based on their location within the factory.
The AP Mode on teh WAP4410N gives me the options below, but I am not sure which one is the correct one:
Below is the link from cisco with explanation. [URL]
Also, if have WAP54G, can I setup this unit to be a wireless repeater with the WAP4410N devices? or all repeaters must be of the same model? Existing WAP4410 is setup to operate at Wireless B/G Mixed mode.
I need setting up a WAP4410n v 2.0.1.0 as a repeater. Warning, this is the first time I have worked with a repeater. I have tested with a netgear router and a Linksys 160n router. Unfortunately I only have the netgear to continue testing with since the Linksys is at my customer’s site. I can get my hands on a Linksys E3200 if I have to. I have tried a number of setting combinations and I still cannot get the signal to be repeated. So this is what I think the setup should be:I setup the router and the WAP4410n repeater to have the same ssid and channel. For security I first tried to have both the router and the repeater to use WPA2 personal using TKIP then I read that there is a problem using WPA2 with version 2 of the firmware so I then tried using WEP having both the router and repeater using the same key. I selected Wireless WDS repeater mode. I did a site survey and selected my router. Now from what I understand, which is very little, this is all I should really need to do. I have left all of the other settings to the default values. So what am I missing?
i have WRT120N and WAP4410N, can i config WAP4410N to be repeater to repeat signal from WRT120N??if it can't, could you tell me what kind of wireless router that compatible with WAP4410N?
We have an 2504 wireless controller at the office with 5 LAP1142's. At another office we have a single AP1142 which doesn’t quite reach end to end. Ideally I want drop in another AP1142 to provide end to end coverage. Does AP1142 has a repeater mode? If not is there any way to make two AP1142's work with each other so they appear as a singular access point? Can they be configured to handle roaming?

I am trying to configure repeater mode on an AP, but the authentication is not working.It seems the authentication is seen as EAP-TLS on the ACS 5.2, but im trying to do LEAP.
I have a Cisco Aironet 1130 Series setup as a Root AP and a Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point setup as a Repeater. However i cannot get this to work. I can connect fine to the Root AP but not to the Repeater.
I receive the folloiwng error on the Repeater AP.
'*Mar 1 00:00:24.887: %DOT11-4-CANT_ASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, cannot associate: No Response'
The Root access point is connected to a Cisco router (192.168.168.1) which is the gateway to outside and is also acting as a dhcp server.
Both SSID's and authentication/encryption match.
Im using the the below mac-address for Authenticating the Repeater to the Root with the parent 1 command. Should i be using the mac address of dot11radio 0 of the Root AP??
AP_Root#sh interfaces dot11Radio 0Dot11Radio0 is up, line protocol is up Hardware is 802.11G Radio, address is 001b.2b69.6ca0 (bia 001b.2b69.6ca0) MTU 1500 bytes, BW 54000 Kbit, DLY 1000 usec, reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
i'm having WAG320N Linksys by Cisco , connected & working properly i need to connect 2 WAP4410 N to the router through wireless ( not wired )
i've did the same SSID same security same everything tried all the possible settings but it's not working as a repeater i've read the blogs & found that some people talking about new beta firmware i've tried to find it out to try but i didnt find it any where
I have a Cisco WAP200 Wireless-G Access Point - PoE/Rangebooster with the latest firmware 2.0.2.4-ETSI?I’m trying to set it up as a repeater, repeating the wireless signal from a Cisco 877W.I have configured the WAP200 with the same SSID, WPA key, and channel as the 877W.
I have changed the WAP200’s AP Mode setting to Repeater, and picked up the 877W’s MAC Address.The WAP200 is broadcasting and I can connect to the wireless network, but I don’t get DHCP. It’s almost like it’s still in Access Point mode.
