We did wireless coverage testing using some 1142 units in autonomous mode, and got a satisfactory result, but upon converting these test units to Lightweight and adding them to our WLC5508 controller, the coverage has decreased noticeably.
Any tips or tricks to getting lightweight 1142 APs to have a range as far as the same hardware with autonomous firmware?
I setup a WRT120N router in my home. I am having a issue getting good coverage over my single floor ranch style home. Would changing the Standard Channel (currently set 6) make a difference?

Doing segregation of SSIDs Base on AP , I have the following scenario:
Head Office :
2 SSIDs (HO_WiFi , Guest) , Access Points which are working in connected mode and grouped on the default ap group .
Remote site:
2 SSIDs (Branch_Wifi , Guest) , Access Points working in flex connected mode and locally switching the traffic .
As shown above , I will be having Head Office , and other 20 Remote Sites with Access Points working in Flex connected mode. What is the best way to group AP and segregate SSID base on location. Above Scenario are build base on WLC 5508 and AP 1142.
Access points 1142 controller 5508 running code 6.0.196.0 When you set the access point port speed with "config ap duplex full speed 1000 all" the access points leave the controlle and do not rejoin. I have had to reset the the access points manually with a power down and hold the reset button.

This first started when a user said they were getting disconnected and reconnected a few times a day to our wireless network. He is in a remote office with a 1142 which is set to H-Reap talking back to our 5508. Our WLC is running 7.0.166 The laptop has an intel ulitmate 6300agn wireless card with the latest 15.x drivers.
We are using an SSID with wpa2 and 802.1x auth back to our ACS server using PEAP with our windows credentials.attached is what i am seeing on the wcs troubleshooting page.When i do a debug client on the WLC i see many reauthentications coming from the client on the different radio.

Now this may be not be the issue thats causing our dropouts a couple times a day as this is happening every 5 mins.
i have a Setup as Follows
- 5508/1142
- heterogenous Client with WZC, XP, SP3, SSO
- ACS 5.2, MS AD
Target is Songle Sign On wih Machine Cerificates against AD. For testing purpose we tested with EAP-PEAP/MS Chapv2 and Machine Auth, works fine. Now we installed a Machine cert in the Machine cert Store (no User Cert) and reconfigured the WZC for using certs and Machin Auth. What we see is an Error Message in the System Tray that there is no certificate available. We checked it again, the MMC shows us a Machine cert in the Store.
We recently had a power outage where most of our AP's were down as well as our controller. When everything came back up most of the AP's didn't rejoin the controller without me resetting all of them. It seems as if the AP's might have booted up before the controller was up, but shouldn't they just try to rejoin at a later time? They didn't rejoin for 48+ hours on there own so I'm assuming that they were not ever going to re-join. All I had to do to fix it was power them off and back on and everything worked.
DHCP is on the local switch where the AP's are powered from so that's not a problem, and they had connectivity to the controller the whole time.
5508, and 1142's.Software version 7.2.103.0 on the controller.
I have a decent sized wireless network (120 1142 access points on a 5500 WLC) and any tips for maximizing the coverage. I know the only REAL way to fill true holes is to deploy more hardware, but I'm not sure if my WLC is configured properly to maximize the hardware already deployed. We have having a lot of issues with low signal in areas I feel are close enough to the AP that they should be good if not excellent signals. Our initial walkthrough and testing of the areas indicated that the APs we deployed SHOULD have been more than enough, but in real-world conditions it seems like it's not cutting the mustard.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been tasked with providing wireless coverage for an outdoor courtyard. The wireless that bleeds out into the courtyard is minimal for both 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands. I'm thinking a 3502p mounted just inside the wall hooked to a ANT25137NP-R patch antenna mount on an exterior wall. The red line on the wall will represent the antenna mounted on the wall. This will be providing coverage for phones on 5Ghz and general devices on 2.4.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy router (D-LINK DIR-655) is in the living room under my TV in a cabinet with the lid closed (i would like to keep it that way, because the DIR-655 has the brightest led lights ever). My ground floor coverage is decent except in my back yard where i only get 1 bar or lose signal (we are talking about 10-15m distance). I am using mixed G & N mode with auto 20/40 MHz. In the past i had full bars in my back yard using a Linksys WRT54GL (Wireless-G) with DD-WRT firmware.
I have the following devices connected on my router: ISP MODEM / DREAMBOX / HTPC / DNS-325 / TV
1st Floor: I don't have any wireless coverage here, sometimes one bar but keeps dropping. This is where i would like to expand my wireless coverage in the whole floor.
2nd Floor: Here is my attic which i don't basically need any wireless. My main concern is in the 1st floor.
I am facing this particular issue while providing Cisco unified Wireless solution to the customer. We are having CAPWAP 1252 APs controlled by WLC.
Scenario: 50 persons sitting in a hall with closely packed chairs using wireless simultaneously. Wireless access provided by patch antenna at a height of 11m from the user. As one AP can server 25 users, 2 APs are placed with antenna directions facing the compact users. Each users gets very good signal from these two APs.
Whether there will be serious interference and client association issues in this scenario? once one AP associates 25 clients, whether other 25 clients associate completely to other AP?
i have an Outdoor Area covered by Cisco Wireless LAN Solution (WCS,WLC,1550AP root and Mesh lightweight). I need to disable power transmission for some of these APs in the 2..4GHz.I tried two possible way, but both are not working:
1) Set the power of 802.11g/g/n to 0. There is no such option (power can be set manually from 1 to 5 and, as per the documentation, each level is a reduction of 3dB. Therefore, even if i put to the minimum, i cannot guarantee that there is no utilization of the 2.4GHz spectrum).
2) Define an AP group containing these APs and don't add any SSID. Is not possible because at least one SSID must be added on each AP group.
Working solution/setting in AP/WLC/WCS to avoid transmission in 2.4GHZ? Otherwise the only solution is to power them off?
I have an integrated 881W with a built in 801 access point. I'm interested in increasing the range of my AP. I'm interested in considering any configuration changes while still maintaining support for N. I've included a copy of my running config.As well, I've heard of high gain antennas. I'm using the default antennas that came with the 881W. If there are better antennas that I can buy to increase my range, I'm interested in considering that as well.

Aironet 2600 and 3600 series. I need to know their maximum distance (at least theoretically, in Line of sight, eliminating all other factors...) in order to choose the right number of AP to provide enough coverage for a specific area.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to setup an E3000 router and extending the network with a WAP4410N acting as a repeater.
I am faced with the same problem and it looks like it all comes down to this: without the WAP4410N having a physical connection to the LAN, it will not connect to the E3000 as a wireless client whether it's configured in AP mode: WDS Repeater or in client/repeater.
I've tested with various permutations that have been explored in the various discussions: matching channels/bandsmatching and non-matching SSIDs matching security settings using site survey to set the mac address of the E3000 (ensuring it's the MAC of the 2.4Ghz wireless)setting a static IP on the WAP4410Nensuring both devices are on the same subnet. Any way to be truly successful with this pair up of E3000 & WAP4410N or is it simply a technical product limitation?
We have just installed our first CT2504.After install I have found a dramatic drop in signal strength compared to the wireless survey result obtained.All of our site surveys include real world testing using an AP, in this case a AP1041N.In doubt I retested a section using an AP1041N in the same location as one of the recently deployed LAP1041N.
In the same location a LAP1041N has between -10 and -20dbi difference in SNR compared to the test AP1041N.For example locations that tested with -60dbi using an AP1041N have little to no coverage using the LAP1041N installed.This applies irrespective of the WLC automatic control over Tx power or manually setting the LAP TX to the highest level.
