Cisco Wireless :: WET200 To WET200 Bridge / WEP Only?
Mar 4, 2011
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?

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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 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?

I am completely new to wireless networking and know next to nothing. I own an apartment on a complex abroad and they have recently had wireless internet installed. There are some areas of the complex where the signal is very poor.
I have some Cisco small business WET200 ethernet bridging units and was wondering if these would be suitable to boost the signal in these Black spots. How to set this up or any suitable products to over come this problem.

Due to lack of wires we decided to extend our network by using WET546 bridge by linksys. Ideally we looking to create topology like this:
(Computer)--eth--(WET546)---wireless----(AP/WLC2100)---(router)---(Internet)
WET546 successfully authenticates and looks pretty healthy on controller (see below) , however neither of computers plugged to WET546 was unable to obtain ip address from dhcp server , nor working with static ip. I was under impression what it might be related to some default policies on WLC2100. Logs (warning) on WLC2100 looks clean.

I need to figure out a network setup for my house between modem connected to one wireless bridge connected to another wireless router connected to wired router.The reason why I decided to make this evil setup is due to insufficient range between my wireless router and desktop pc upstairs. However, in the room next to it I have a very good wireless signal and a possibility to bridge it to wired network installed in my house. But in order to do it I guess I need to bridge that wireless signal via wireless router or bridge to wired network. [code]

I have a laptop with a wireless adapter. I have a desktop without a wireless adapter. Both of these pc's have windows 7. I have the laptop and desktop connected by an ethernet cord, and the laptop has a wireless connection to the router. In Network Connections under the control panel, I used the Bridge Connections option to bridge the pc's together.At my friend's place, this is usually the end of this process as my desktop will have internet access and run fine. At my own place, however, the desktop will not have any internet until I set a static IP for it. Also at my place, games on the desktop tend to run with a lot of lag due to the internet.
- My friend has a cheap $30 ASUS router, i don't know the exact model of it atm
- My place uses a motorola sbg 6580 modem/router

I have a room cut off from the wired network by concrete walls (there are windows and it's a very short distance). There is a device in that room with a wired network adapter than needs access to the network. We'd like to use a pair of WAP4410N devices to get that room on our wired network over a simple "wireless bridge."
Would the following work?
Connect one WAP4410N normally with WPA2 Personal encryption and connect it to our wired network. Enable repeating of its signal.Set up the "remote" WAP4410N in the "cut off" room. Give it the same SSID and Encryption settings. Enable "Wireless Client Repeater" mode and uncheck the box labeled "Allow wireless station to associate". . . then use its RJ45 network port to connect to the wired device in the room. My biggest concern is the part in bold. Will the network port on the "remote" repeater function like that? So that any devices (or a switch) plugged into it will then be "forwarded along the bridge" to the main/local AP and then onto our network?

Is it possible to make a bridge using a 1242 and a 1310? I have been able to get them to associate together and it appears it will function as a bridge. I have the 12(4) 253 JA IOS for both devices. I would like to use the g antenna on the 1242 for the bridge and the a antenna for wireless clients. The configuration on the web management appears to support bridge root and non root for both devices.

I need to bridge from our office to our shop that is around 800 feet away. Here are the Details
I need the 2.4 ghz antenna for client access (Iphones are not compatiable with 802.11a) The locations are 800 feet away but are line of sight. I need to use the 5ghz antenna for the bridge i have 2 aironet 1242ag's I have 2 2.4 ghz AIR-ANT3213 antennas (planned for client access) I have 2 2.4 ghz AIR-ANT2506 (maybe useless for this)
My problem is that the range of all the listed 5 ghz antennas. None that i can find will bridge 54mb over the 5ghz radio for greater than 170ft
The closest that i can find is AIR-ANT5195. If i put these on both sides and it is outdoors line of sight, will the best i can hope for is functioning and 6mb
Are there options on 5ghz that i am missing.

I am trying to configure an RV180W to act as a wireless bridge to our guest wireless network (Cisco 4404 WLC, 1130AG access points, WPA2 personal). I was told in a Cisco support chat that this configuration was possible, now that I have the RV180W it doesn't seem that it is.
I've configured the RV180W as a WDS Bridge with the ssid name, WPA2 key, and MAC of an AP hosting the guest wireless but it still doesn't seem to connect. I have a feeling I would need another WDS device for this to work, and that it will not connect to just any wireless network.
using an RV180W as a wireless bridge?
