Cisco Wireless :: WAP2000 As Repeater For WRT120n?
Mar 4, 2013I 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.

Jan 23, 2013Our customer setup requires an outdoor WAP (the main WAP) and two wireless signal repeters (that will be WAP2000). The repeaters will be powered over the Ethernet only and will be connected to the same switch as the main WAP (unknown vendor). My question is:
Will a WAP2000 work smoothly as a repeater when it's powered over Ethernet only and connected to the same switch as the main WAP is?
I noticed that WAP2000 connected this way was sort of 'lost' in deciding to repeat a signal or work as an independent wireless access point. The problem was immediately removed once the repeater was disconnected from the switch and powered from an outlet. I am not sure whether it was wrong addressing setup or something else that was needed to check/uncheck.
Cisco Wireless :: Can't Update Firmware On WAP2000

Cisco Wireless :: Can't Access WAP2000 Web Console
Jan 3, 2011We forgot the IP address of this WAP, and resetting the router doesn't take it to the default IP, no matter how I try to reset it. The SSID (and WEP key) stays the same too, which makes me wonder if the reset button is even working. We can still connect computers wirelessly through it and have them access the internet. Our issue is we need to change the SSID. Right now it just connects people invisibly - it gives them IPs from the subnet it's attached to, and yet the various DHCP servers I've connected to never show it as having its own DHCP address.

Mar 14, 2011We have a WAP2000 that supports a few wireless users in a shop environment. Users authenticate using RADIUS. Users connect without issue and can browse the Internet.
The main local network uses a Cisco 800 router to connect to the Internet via DSL and there is an IPsec VPN tunnel to our main office.
When a user is connected to the network via a wired connection, all systems work as expected. If they are on wireless, they cannot connect to services at the main office. They must make a PPTP VPN connection for applications to function.
The WAP2000 has the latest firmware 2.0.4.0. It has a static IP on the local subnet.

View 1 Replies View RelatedCisco Wireless :: Illegal SSID Name With WAP2000 Firmware 2.0.4.0
Apr 18, 2011Cisco has recently released firmware 2.0.4.0 for the WAP2000 wireless access point. This firmware has two annoying bugs in new JavaScript code which validates SSID names on the "Basic Wireless Settings" page.
First of all, this firmware does not allow SSID names to contain spaces, even though a space is a legal character in a SSID name!
Secondly, this firmware only allow the first SSID name to be 31 characters longs, even though the maximum allowed SSID name length is 32 (and the input field even allows 32 characters to be entered in the first place!)
If either case you will get an "Illegal SSID Name!" alert message (the developer could apparently not be bothered to make the message more specific and tell the user WHY the SSID name is supposedly illegal), and you will not be able to add additional SSIDs, or configure these existing SSID's on new access points that have this firmware.
The workaround is to revert back to firmware 2.0.0.5. You can upgrade to 2.0.4.0 after adding the "illegal" SSID names, they will remain after upgrading.
The new firmware does have an interesting new feature: it can download its configuration from a TFTP server (either through DHCP or by specifying the server), but I have not been able to find the documentation on how to get this working.

Aug 31, 2011I have a few questions about the Cisco WAP2000 we setup for our customers that I have experienced as of late.
1. The AP is prone to reset automatically; what causes the access point to do this and how can this be prevented?
2. The AP has the SSID and the encryption reset back to factory defaults, however the IP address does not get reset. What would cause this?
3. Is it possible to use 2 of the Cisco WAP2000 as a repeater to increase signal strength of another Cisco WAP2000 that has interference from another stronger signal?
Cisco Wireless :: Wap2000 Closing Ports After 10 Minutes Of Up Time
Mar 17, 2011We have two WAP2000's in our offices which we roam between depending on which office we are in. Lets call them Access point A and Access point B.Both are firmware 2.0.4.0 and have seperate IP addresses. Both are set up with two SSID's and VLAN tagging. Both handle connections just fine and can route traffic. Both are PoE and the catalyst switch reports PoE util at 25% over all of its ports.After 10 minutes of uptime, Access point B will close all of its TCP ports - SNMP, Web admin etc but does still handle wireless connections and traffic correctly. Access point A does not close any ports.I have confirmed that when the problem happens, Access point B still handles traffic just fine by checking the MAC address the clients is associated with, as well as powering down Access point A and confirming traffic is flowing. Access point B will also respond to ICMP ping after it has closed all of its management ports. I have confirmed there is no other device on the network attempting to use the same IP address as Access point B.
I have also confirmed that I am attempting to access the management ports from the management Vlan (1) - else I would not be able to reach Access Point A's management ports either. I have turned wireless management access on for Access point B and the ports close after 10 minutes of uptime from the wireless side too, so highly unlikely this is a vlan issue.I have confirmed all of the settings (bar the IP address config) exactly match on both Access point A and Access point B. The firmware revisions are the same.
Cisco Wireless :: WAP2000 IPhone / IPod Touch Cannot Connect
Aug 22, 2010I have several WAP2000 (Firmware 2.0.0.5), and while they work fine for PC's, iPhones, iPod touches cannot connect to them.Well, they connect briefly, get an IP address from the router, and immediately drop the connection to re-connect again.I have tried changing channels, eliminating all but one of the AP's, and so forth. Any issues with this firmware? I see posts where people are saying their iPhones connect up fine. This happens on versions 3.x and 4.x of the iphone O.S. It's not limited to one iphone or ipod touch; we've tried several.

View 2 Replies View RelatedCisco Wireless :: Misconfiguration Of Management ACL On AP541N-A-K9
Nov 20, 2012I mistakenly mis-configured "Management ACL mode" on my AP541N.
Administration>Administration Access Control>Managment ACL Mode
I set this to "Enabled", the problem is I only entered 1 IP address, and that IP address is the SAME IP as the AP's own internal interface. I was not thinking and entered that IP out of habit when I meant to enter my workstation's IP. The FW does not have a safeguard against this.
So, as you can see, this is a big problem, because now I have completely cut off all access (That I can think of) to the router. I can never access the AP as that IP because if I set my workstation to that IP, 1) There will be an address conflict, 2) My computer won't route traffic to the AP out its NIC because it recognizes that IP as itself.
Cisco Wireless :: AP541N Drops All Clients?

Cisco Wireless :: AP541N Connectivity And Web Management
Apr 18, 2013we have two AP541n APs that were clustered togehter. They are powered using PoE. The other day I discovered one of them wasn't working properly. I couldn't log into it from the web interface so I unplugged it and plugged it back in from the PoE switch. That didn't work. Since then I have taken it off the network and have tried to reset it and I still can't access it. I've tried connecting to it from the default IP, which according to the admin guide is 192.168.10.10, and that doesn't work. I have tried using Telnet and SSH to connect to it using the default IP and the static IP we had set for it. I have set up a little linksys router and plugged the AP and a laptop into it in hopes it might get DHCP, but that hasn't worked either. I have also noticed the WLAN 2.4G and WLAN 5G lights are not coming on. The PWR, SPEED, and LAN lights all come on. The DIAG light comes on when it's furst plugged in and then turns off. Right now it is not plugged into PoE so that light is off too. We had both APs plugged into an ESW-520 that was plugged into a UC560 which had recently been updated to the latest firmware: 8.6.1. The short story is I don't have any connectivity to my AP541n, even after being reset. No wireless, no Web GUI, no ping, nothing. Has this thing become a large paperweight?

Mar 6, 2013I have 2 AP541N's set up using a WDS bridge, broadcasting a single SSID. I am using WPA-PSK for the bridge and WPA/ WPA2 and CCMP (AES) on the SSID. I only have around 75 (Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone and Android) devices that use wireless. Some are laptops that roam around from AP to AP, and are using LAN when they are not roaming. I have increased the roaming agressiveness on PC clients and this doesn't seem to have resolved the weak connection. At most, I have 50 clients trying to access the wireless at one time. My problem is that they keep on dropping the connections and have real problems reconnecting once it's dropped. After 4 or 5 tries, they may or not be able to reconnect.
View 1 Replies View RelatedCisco Wireless :: AP541N - Computer Not Switching Between AP's
Jan 4, 2011when moving throughout our building my laptop will not switch between AP’s unless it loses its connection with its existing AP then it will see the other AP that is closer and connect to it.
For example, I start at one end of the building where it connects to AP#1 at 270Mbps, if I then slowly go to another section of the building, the speed will drop all the way down to 24Mbps, but it will not switch over to AP#2 unless I turn off AP#1 then the laptop instantly switches to AP#2 at 160Mbps. Again the same behavior if I start walking back the other direction. The laptop will not disconnect from AP#2 until the signal is lost.
With my 2.4GHz wireless 802.11g AP’s (WAP200) I can roam around the building and the laptop will happily jump between AP’s always staying with the faster of the two available.
Settings are all pretty basic.
Mode is set to 5GHz 802.11n Channel is set to AutoA single SSID is running WPA Personal using wpa2, CCMP (AES)Channel is set to AutoChannel Bandwidth is set to 40MHzClustering is enabled and the AP’s see each other just fine.
Cisco Wireless :: Are There Multiple Models Of AP541N
Nov 6, 2011We are considering order the AP541N for our network. A few questions...
1). Are there multiple models of the AP541N? or just one cisco part number?
2). I am assuming the basic antenna comes with it. If this is something that I need to buy seperate.
3). Are there part numbers for the POE injector? Need to know part numbers on the AP541N and the poe injectors?
4). We would buy a couple of these and run them in cluster mode. My understanding is that I won't need a controller. Do I need to buy a certain model to use the clustering or is that available on all the AP541N?
5). Can I have this talk to active directory to authenticate users? Is that tough to do? Do I need install some kind of agent on a domain controller? I have configured the ASA to use Active Directory for authentications. Should it be any more difficult that that?
I have setup a few other Cisco APs before and am generally familair with wireless. But, I am not a "wireless expert" and don't have any experience with this particular product.

I switched back to the secondary 1.8 software and could immediately reconnect my iphone to the network. Upgrading to 1.9(2) changes a setting or is flawed.
View 1 Replies View RelatedCisco Wireless :: Difference Between WAP321 And AP541N?
May 21, 2012I was looking for some clarification on the capabilities of these devices to allow roaming of clients between AP's. Take a basic scenario of 3 AP's and a single SSID. I know the AP541N has clustering which uses the Fast Client Roaming Protocol, which basically does a quick re-connect to the new AP. Not quite as seamless as using aironet and a controller, but still pretty good.
Question 1 How does the WAP321 handle roaming? Obviously without the clustering feature you would have to configure each AP independently. But after setting them up, would it support roaming in a similiar way to the AP541N??
Question 2 Would running three standalone Aironet 1141's operate any differently in terms of roaming?
In summary I like the roaming capability of the AP541N but hate the large clunky form factor. I need something that can be mounted in an office environment (ceilings) that will handle easy client roaming. A short disconnect isn't a concern as long as it reconnects on it's own. Wireless controllers are a little out of the price range for this setup.
