Cisco Wireless :: WET200 And WAP4410N And WPA Connection
Feb 9, 2011
after reading the many issues reported here about the WET200's WPA abilities (or lack thereof), I doubt that there will be an easy solution to the issue I'm having, but it's worth a try.The setup consists of a WET200 that should bridge two devices in a remote room to our main network. The AP is a WAP4410N, which works beautifully with all other connected devices. The WAP4410N is set up in 'WPA2-Personal Mixed' mode, and only b/g (as n was giving other, unrelated trouble). The WET200 sees the network just fine, is able to connect and receives an IP from the DHCP server. The devices behind the bridge also have connectivity - all well so far. However, at a certain point in time, which i _believe_ to coincide with the key renewal on the AP, the bridge loses the connection to the AP, even though it reports its WLAN status on the web interface (via LAN) as connected. The AP's log shows the following (MAC address is the WLAN interface on the WET200).

I've just purchased 2 WET200 wireless bridges for our organisation, with the intention of using them to create a wireless bridge between 2 buildings.I've followed this guide here: url...and I'm unable to configure any kind of security other than WEP. More disconcertingly, the foot of that guide states:WET200 only supports WEP for the Wireless Security."Surely this can't be the case? All the marketing blurb states clearly that the WET200 supports WPA2, and I would have thought WPA2 was a given for any wireless product sold today, especially a business grade product. Have I misunderstood what this device can do?

We have a 4410N that all the time drops the connetion. We have approx 25-30 users using wireless. But when they try to connect or are connected, the router drops the connection like a yo-yo. The firmware is updated with no difference.
The wireless connection is very unstable. It's configured with WPA2 Personal and is connected through a POE-switch with IPv4. The logs don't answer the questions why it drops the connection.

In a bit of a pickle and not sure which way to turn as I think I have exhausted all possibilities.We currently have 2 Cisco WAP4410n wireless access points running within our network. They are both on version 2.0.4.2 firmware and both on a static ip address within our infrastructure and are not working.

Every single one of the WAP4410N units at every single client where they've been deployed is dropping the network connection.
After an undetermined amount of time, wireless devices connected to a WAP4410N begin to lose their network connection, but each will maintain their wireless connection to the WAP. The network connection will not be restored until the WAP is rebooted. It appears the affected devices are unable to obtain/renew their IP address at the time when they lose network connection. We reduced the DHCP lease time to 2 hours, and we had no problems for 2 weeks. We then changed the DHCP lease backup to 3 days and the problem returned.
This happens with one or two SSIDs in use, with or without VLANs, always in bridge mode.
Cisco support advised us that this is a known problem that was supposed to be corrected in the 2.0.4.2 firmware revision. They have found that it does work in approximately 90% of the updates from 2.0.3.3, but is still not working for some customers. It was supposed to be fixed with firmware version 2.0.6.1 (which we've tried) but no luck.
Besides the obvious "short DHCP lease" workaround, any better ideas? Is the WAP4410N a lemon?

I have installed a wired and wireless connection for a compound which is around150 squire meters. I used the Cisco wap4410n routers for the wireless setup.
The structure is like this.There is a connection coming from the service provider. There is a central switch where the connection coming from service provider, the server, one Cisco wap4410n router and other two switches are directly connected to it. Again I connected other switches to the switches getting connection from the central switch. I used Cat 5e and Cat 6 cables to connect the switches as well as the wireless routers (For more info , the cable goes underground) and I used cross-over cable to connect switch to switch and straight-through to connect routers to switches. I connected the other Cisco wap4410n routers to the switches outside( I get like 6 Cisco wap4410n routers)The wireless routers are connected to the switches which are connected to the central switch and also on the other switches.
The routers are configured to have their default AP mode.My problem The connection is very slow. The connection is down almost every week and it needs to be re-configured. The connection nice on the router which is directly connected to the central switch(but not the same on the others routers which are connected to the other switches)even when I reset them they don't fall to .245 ( which is ok I can see them on the DHCP server but I still see it as problem)when I set them as a wireless wireless repeater, full signal but no connection(given that I have set same SSID, enabled allow wireless signal to be repeated, filling MAC addresses) Down here I have tried to show the architecture diagrammatically.

We've had this AP for just over a year and just recently it started dropping its wireless connection. To fix, I have to and unplug the power and then plug it back in.. Then it works again for a few hours and drops out again. If I navigate to the config page right after it drops, all of the settings seem to be completely gone. But if I go through and unplug/plug it in again, all of the settings are back.
I updated the firmware to 2.0.4.2, but that didn't seem to resolve the problem. Is this thing a brick now?

I am trying to use some WAP4410N in client mode, not much luck.In one case they shouldt connect to different unsecured networks controlled by a Cisco 5508 controller.I can get connection to one of the SSID's but not very stable.One ssid can be seen if i switch from ap-mode to client and run a sitesurvey. If i after that run a site survey again the ssid is not shown.Cant get connected. A third ssid acts "normal" but the 4410 never connects.I have a forth case, WPA2 Personal, cant connect.Been trying fw 2.0.3.3 still no succesAre client mode not usefull at all ?

I just started a new job and recently got my CCNA and CCDA. I hop into this new job and no one knew information to the networking. They decided to re-ip the site and they had 3 wireless access points. I had to hard reset and re-configured the WAP. All the laptop in the building have reception and can get internet. If i connect anyone cell phone, wii or tablets to the wifi, it does not connect.

I have the following equipment:
Cisco 871W router
2x WAP 4410N APs running 2.0.3.3
I currently have 1 AP connected to the router via copper. The AP to AP link is over 802.11. I have attached a diagram reflecting the current topology.
The AP-to-AP link will come up utilizing B/G/N mixed mode; however, the connection is basically unusable. About 30% of the traffic is dropped, while the packets that do make it have a consistently volatile latency, anywhere from 15 to 1500 ms. I have had success using G-only and B/G mixed. The link is stable (I have had the best results with B/G). The problem is, I didn't buy the 2nd 4410N to run the G protocol. I would like to connect the APs running either B/G/N (hopefully negotiating to N) or N only. I am wondering if there is a certain configuration I can utilize (perhaps using WDS repeater or bridge versus Wireless Client/Repeater?), or a firmware upgrade set for release that can make this happen for me.

I have been using WAP4401N for almost a year in our office and I’m very happy of this device, never had any problem. So I bought 3 new ones for our customer which supposed to work in configuration below:
Network ----- AP1 –Bridge mode ----- AP2 – Bridge mode -----AP3 – Access Point mode.
Everything was working perfectly fine to the moment than bridge was broken. I can get access to all AP (obviously when connected to proper part of network) however not able to ping from AP2 -> AP1 or opposite so basically no link between AP1 and AP2. After reboot everything is working fine to next time (happens twice in two days). When I go to System Performance can see Connection is enabled but doesn’t work.
I upgraded firmware to latest version (2.0.5.3) but haven’t worked. When I’ve done some research found many users having similar problem with this device and basically they recommend to don’t buy. Unfortunately this is not an option for me as I’ve already purchased them.

My WAP4410N is configured with 4 seperate SSIDs. Two of the SSID status are showing "Enabled". The other 2 are shown as "Connected". The one that are showing as Enabled are not receiving any packets. Devices connected to the SSID that shows "Enabled" are unable to connect to the network. Any one else encountered similar issues before? This issue just surfaced few hours ago. The device has been using for around 2-3 years with minimal issues.

We have 4x WAP4410N access points 1 AP & 3 Repeaters, this works perfect. The situation at the moment is that the internet connection is plugged in with a cable on the AP but the question is that if it's possible to plug the internet connection into one of the repeaters?
After that are we still able to use the internet over al four access points?

I have a new WET200 wireless bridge and cannot authenticate to our WPA2 EAP-TLS freeradius server. Here are the steps that I have taken so far:
1. Renamed my pkcs12 client certificate to .pfx extension and imported it into the WET200.
2. Used the client certificate import password as the "Private Key Password"
3. Typed in the client "Login Name"
The freeradius server recognizes the WET200 with the entered credentials but will not authenticate. The freeradius debug log gives the following error:
WARNING: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WARNING: !! EAP session for state 0x3e833be03884222b... did not finish!
WARNING: !! Please read [URL]
WARNING: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Normally, with other wireless devices the CA (ceritificate authority) certificate needs to be installed to the client as well as the pkcs12 client certificate? Is there a way to place a CA and client certificate into the WET200?What is the proper method to install certificates into the WET200 for FreeRadius EPA-TLS authentication?

I just picked up a WET200... connect it wirelessly to a Verizon Mifi so wired devices can get access to the Internet.
I've had zero luck connecting the WET200 to a wireless network...I've tried two different ones and I've also tried changing from WPA to WPA2.

I just purchased a WET200 wireless bridge. After trying a very long password for an enterprise certificate the bridge restarted and I have not been able to contact the device with the default 192.168.1.226 ip address. I have tried performing a reset even by holding the reset button in for a minute. The bridge will not ping either. I do have a power light and the wireless light flashes and the Ethernet port lights function when plugged into my laptop.

We Have a WLC-4402 controller with LWAPPs and different VLANs and SSIDs. I've configured a Linksys WET200 to associate to one of the SSIDs.On the WLC I can see, that the WET200 is associated to one Wlan.Then I connect one computer with a static IP address and works fine.But when I connect a second one, everythiing goes down. It does not connect.I can only connect one computer to the WET200.Do I need other seetings on the WLC to allow pass traffic through the WET200?

I've got a WET200 connecting to a wireless router (linksys WRT54G) setup thru the WET200 site survey.Does the WET200 need to have an ip with the same sub net as the network the WRT54G is connected to?I have a laptop hooked up the the WET200 with a static IP. I cannot ping IP's of the same sub net on the network the WRT54G is connected to nor see anything on the internet?
WET200 connected to wireless AP WRT54G (192.168.23.3)
WET200 IP address = 192.168.23.8
Laptop IP address = 192.168.23.218 (connected to port 1 of WET200)
I can configure the WET200 via the laptop, but not able to see anything across the bridge?

i am placing a formal request to Cisco and to the firmware development team to create a new-and-improved firmware release for the WET200 wireless Ethernet bridge, a product that is still being produced, shipped, and sold. I purchased the product about one-and-a-half years ago and have enjoyed its performance. There have been, however, some flaws with the device, namely the following:While configured to use WPA2-based security, DHCP-related traffic is not passed from a router/gateway's DHCP Server to connected devices on the WET200. Current firmware release notes indicate this was a known issue and was, supposedly, fixed; however, due to the level of problems customers are reporting, it appears this may have only been resolved, if at all, with security configurations of WPA, WEP, or OPEN. It has not been fixed for customers using WPA2-based security.When I originally purchased the WET200 and configured it to use WPA2-based security, while it, initially, did have a few problems connecting to my router/gateway, it, eventually, did connect and stayed connected for, approximately, one year. However, in September of 2009, it suddenly lost connectivity with my router/gateway and has not been able to establish a connection since, even after reinstalling the latest firmware revision and after several soft and hard resets of the device. I tested the WET200 with another router/gateway, only to experience the same issue. Other devices are connecting to my router/gateway, but, not the WET200. The last firmware update for the WET200 was dated back in July of 2008. Currently, it is January 2010 and since these issues have been known for quite some time, it is unacceptable that the firmware for this device has not been updated in such a long time, especially when there are known issues with the WET200's firmware. Such lack of support is forcing me and my clients to stop using these Cisco-based products and purchase competing hardware, something I would prefer not to do; however, without better support, I and my clients do not have a choice. Expecting me and my clients to use an inferior form of security on the WET200, such as WEP and/or WPA, until a firmware update is issued is unacceptable, especially when that update has not been released in over one-and-a-half years. Such lack of support is especially unforgettable when my clients and I are looking to purchase new networking equipment. In the past, I would not have hesitated to purchase a Cisco-based product; now, with this experience in mind, I am finding it very difficult to recommend to a client that he or she should invest their organization's finances into Cisco-branded equipment. Proper, professional, timely, support of your hardware is expected of your customers, especially if you wish them to remain loyal customers. I have noticed that other similar devices, albeit, higher-end devices, have had their firmware updated, more recently, compared to the WET200. I assumed this meant that the firmware development team was updating all firmware on such devices. So far, I have been disappointed in the lack of firmware updates for the WET200. While I understand the possible desire to update the higher-end products, first, as a professional whose job is to research, recommend, purchase, install,configure, secure, and maintain both the enterprise-level and small business-level devices, I highly encourage Cisco not to overlook their small business products when the firmware development team is updating firmware for any Cisco products. Deficiency in the support of one strata of Cisco-based products is reflective upon the support of any Cisco-based product and is not easily forgiven by Cisco customers, such as myself, when new and additional hardware needs to be purchased.

I have one WET200 Wireless Brigde, connected to internet router... I can't use the infraestructure mode to broadcast the ssid to wireless cliente like laptops,
Only can use the ad hoc mode, but the wireless clients dont reach the internet from adhoc connection trought WET200...The datasheet saids "client only" for WET200, what is the diference between client only and Access Point mode? ??

I have a Linksys WRVA4400N router in my home office that I access my internet with throughout my house. I also have a Linksys WET200 Bridge that I want to use but can’t get them configured together. The Tech support folks keep shifting me back and forth and I’m about the throw my hands in the air. I get to the Advance Configuration setup for the WET200 and when I place the configuration URL 192.168.1.226 I get nothing. I can get to my router adjustments just unsure how to get the WET200 setting entered.

I have two separate offices in the same building that I'm trying to connect. They are physically far apart so I cannot connect them wirelessly. I have had an ethernet cable run from the main office to the second office and physically connected it to a WET200. I can see the WET200 on my router in the main office. In the second office, I want clients to be able to come in and connect wirelessly to the WET200 which will then connect them to my router and internet connection. The WET200 is the correct device for this?

I decided to upgrade the firmware in my WET200 so downloaded the latest firmware v1.0.10-ESTI filename WET200-ETSI_v1.0.10_200802_fw.img.Update seemed to go well, and the message came up rebooting please wait.Waited about 5 minutes whilst the message stayed the same, decided to try and close my explorer window and connect again, nothing happened.Tried to reset the unit by holding in the reset butting again nothing seemed to happen. The unit had been set up with the ip 192.168.113.4 before the upgrade but this is now unreachable, also tried the default of 192. 168.1 .226. Anything I can do/try to restore my unit, or did the update brick it?

Well, I sent mine back and they shafted me with a v1 unit.I don't see how you can know what the problem is and still send me a v1 unit.
I contacted SB support and they said no guarantees on getting a v2 unit.
Now I must PAY to send another unit back.With no guarantees, I don't know.

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?
