Cisco Wireless :: Getting Software For Internal AP In 891W Router?
Aug 31, 2011
I have an 891W with the internal AP. I want to update the AP's software but can't find anywhere to get it on Cisco's site. If I go to Download All, Routers, 800 series, 891W all I can choose is IOS, IOS ROMMON and upgrade to LWAPP. If I go to Wireless Wireless integrated service routers, 800 series, 891W I get IOS and IOS ROMMON.
I have an 891W router that requires a firmware update to fix a bug wth the internal AP where all you get when accessing it via the CP Express ("Launch Wireless Application", which is just opening another web browser to your AP) is an Enter button. This issue seems to be common so I found a thread, though for the 881W (but same process) where the fix is to update the AP's firmware.
So I downloaded ap801-rcvk9w8-tar.124-21a.JY.tar from cisco.com, set it up in my tftp server, and at the console ran the following from the router:
It seems to go through the process of re-imaging the fw but the end result now after it is done is that I cannot access the ap at all and the hostname has been screwed up. So now when I go to the AP (via Router#service-module wlan-ap 0 session <enter>), this is what I see:
AP6400.f177.d0ee>
If I type "enable", I get no username prompt but I do get a password prompt, however my pw no longer works. Also the IP address of the AP (192.168.0.2=) is no longe rpingable.
I did save the log of the console session for the (failed??) firmware upgrade process - the only odd thing I recall was that it seemed like it was trying to enter part of the update process commands but instead the router was interpreting them as a DNS lookup or something. Kind of stupid process it seems but anyway I am quite lost. Don't know what it'ssuch a challenge to update firmware.
Over the weekend this router was put into production. SSHv2 is configfured and was working fine. Due to some circumstances, we had to avoid configuring any zone-pairs that included the self zone. This of course left the router open somewhat. SSH was secured but of course a few IP's from poorly regulated parts of the world spent the weekend trying to brute force log into the router. No luck it seems. Anyway, SSH continjued working, then we set up self zone-pairs (out to self and self to out). As ssh can't be Inspected, we did a pass log for each direction. This worked for a bit, then SSH just stopped working. I've seen this happen on 891W's in the lab here too, so is not something perhaps done by some unseen DoS attack or something.
I am having problems connecting an 891w to a WLC, is it possible to have to separate vlans, one for the Lan ports and another for the AP module.
I do not want the AP part of the 891w in autonomous mode. The WAN port of the router will be connected to a DSL type service.
Is there a guide or something to get a 891W to connect to the WLC?
I would like to have users on a data vlan (vlan1) connecting to the network like a normal router, then the AP module to connect to the WLC via a different IP probably vlan 2
On the WLC itself i do not see any attempts in the logging.
I have had trouble to verify the support wireless speed and band that CISCO891W-AGN-A-K9 supports. I saw on a vendor website that it supports a max wireless transmission speed of 54Mbps but this seems low for what is supposed to be the current model wireless router which is supports 802.11n. What the maximum supported wireless speed and whether 5Ghz is supported? Plus I am thinking about purchasing it for my home wireless network (upgrading from an 871W).
Opening a connection to integrated AP801 wireless device for performing wireless configuration tasks, the connection is established OK, authentication is passed OK using credentials from main configuration file, gaining level 15 privileges with enable command, but after that... no way to enter "Global Configuration mode" because there are no "configure" family commands present!!! Simply can't say "Conf t" because there is no such command!
Any issue creating a guest vlan to use the WIFI on an 891W router? The IOS is version 15.1. I have created discreet Vlan's and setup subinterfaces on both the WLAN_AP0 and GigaEthernet 0 interfaces with dot1q encapsulation. The client will receive an IP from the pool but cannot ping or connect beyond the default gateway.
The external interface is using Nat overload and all wired clients are successful in connecting to outside addresses. I have insert a permit any statement in the acl which affects the external port but still no success.
I have an 891w that started acting up recently. Radio dot11 0 is reporting its a b radio. When it is actually an n 2.4 radio. Of course that radio is not allowing any clients to connect to it at this time. I have tried updating the firmware to the latest, tried a hardware reset but still a nogo.
sh interface output.
Dot11Radio0 is up, line protocol is down Hardware is 802.11B Radio, address is 0000.0000.0000 (bia 0000.0000.0000) MTU 1500 bytes, BW 11000 Kbit/sec, DLY 1000 usec,
I have a client that that is installing a new network. They have requested the use of an CISCO891W-AGN-A-K9 mostly to be consistent with upgrades perfomed at other sites. I agree with the use of this router, so that's OK. The issue is that they have requested that I use the integrated PoE available on this model. I'm also OK with this as it will make a much neater installation. However, I can't seem to find much information on how to get the integrated PoE. I need clarification as to whether I can get a kit to upgrade this router. I generally purchase from sites like newegg or cdw (I'm an independent contractor) and I can't seem to find one with it. I have found some information on 800-IL-PM-4 and 800-ILPM-4 (who could confuse those ). Are they the same or different? Which one is the correct one and does it include the AC power adapter and can if be retro'ed into a router without the PoE?
Alright, well I have a Cisco 891w router and have just about everything up and ready to deploy. I'm primarily using Cisco CP 2.4 to provision the router with minor tweaks being done in the CLI. I want to set up a filter to allow access to roughly 20 websites for the majority of my network which is all on the same VLAN. The ip ranges are x.x.x.10 - x.x.x.169 which I have set into a Network Object group called limitac. The second group ranges at x.x.x.170 - x.x.x.199 and is called allowac. I have set up DHCP bindings for all the devices that will connect to the network but I want to set up a web filter for only the first group. I cannot seem to find anything in the Cisco CP manual or the IOS manual for setting up filtering for a range of IPs only. Primarily there are a few computers that need full access to the web while the others should only have access to the sites I set up in the filter.
What I currently have is a Cisco 891W Router as well as two ISP's (both with dynamic IP's) in. I'm currently just running one of my modems into the 891 through the FE8 port and then if for some reason I have an internet failure switching the ISP modems. What I'm wondering is if there is a fairly simple way to configure (and attach) both modems to this router and then set it up to handle this failover automatically?
I believe I have the steps done at the IOS to config the WAN port for SSH, but I still can't connect to it. I have "logging console 7" on so I am able to see that the router is dropping my TCP session requests. I figure this is just the built-in zone-based firewall at work.
Is there a very straightforward process, via the IOS, to allow SSH inbound on the WAN port? I'm not very familiar with the IOS other than basics so while I know how to do things like "transport input ssh" and "login local" and such on the vty 0 4 line, I have no idea whatsoever on what I should do with the firewall stuff. I believce the WAN interface is already a member of the outside zone though so I imagine one just has to somehow include ssh (preferably on a non-standard port) in the exceptions on the firewall somehow.
I have been poking around for a step-by-step IOS guide for this but only find info on configuring SSH itself but not how to open the firewall to allow the connection for it through.
I'm new to using Cisco Config Professional Express but a lot of things are just "off" with this utility. But my problem for this post is specifically the 891W's internal access point, or initial access to it.
My situation is that I have some 891W's. It's my first time working with them, as well as with CCP Express (2.5). After isolating the router and my PC to their own network, using the IP my PC got via DHCP frmo the router I opened a web broswer and connected to the router. The initiial configuration wizard came up and I went through the various screens. One of those screens had basic config info for the internal wireless AP which I provided. Somewhere in that screen it asked for a Hostname for the AP, and a password. It doesn't askfor a username though. To ensure I wouldn't run into confision, I made sure to set every password I ever get asked to configure as the same thing so the AP's password was also the same.
However after I finish with the wizard, the java-based CCP Express begins prompting me for first the main router credentials which I provide and it gets the router config, then it prompts mefor the username/password for the Access Point. First of all, the initial config wizard had never asked me for the username for the access point, only the hostname, and the password. I had assumed it was just going to use the main router username, or perhaps a blank username.
In any case, nothing I type ever works. I've used cisco/cisco, or a blank username with my new password, or the same username as the main router with the password ---- nothing. This is now the 4th time I have completely Reset the router to factory defaults and while I am learning the use of CCP Express through repetition, I'd also like to get this thing configured and out the door so my customer can use it.
i have a home lab network that is connected to my internet. I basically have a linksys router connected to cable modem and in order for my families internet to not go down while testing and learning my CCNA I am trying to treat the Linksys as the ISP.
1. Plugged my 891W router via FASTETHERNET 8 (192.168.1.10) into LAN Switch port 1 of my Linksys E4200 home router(192.168.1.1).
2. I plugged my 891W Gigabit 0 (10.10.10.1) LAN side into my 2950 Catalyst Switch (10.10.10.5 - VLAN 1)
3. my 2950 Catalyst switch (10.10.10.5 - Vlan 1) is plugged into my 2600 series router via the routers FE port (10.10.10.2).
There is a few more routers connected behind r2 but I am not dealing with them right now and there is also a switch connected into s1 but its not being used for this.
891w is labled r1 2950 is labled s1 2600 is labeled r2

I can ping all over my homelab everything I can reach as long as I have a protocol up but I cannot reach the WAN IPs. I watched video by Jeremy Ciorara and I tried to follow the wan and nat part from a website [URL] And none of its working. I am not sure if this is a case where a private IP cannot function as a ISP and I am breaking some rule thats not mentioned in CCNA studies or if its something else. I tried these commands from Jeremy Video:
r1(config)#ip access-list standard "NAT_ADDRESSES" r1(config-std-nacl)#permit any r1(config)ip nat inside source list NAT_ADDRESSES interface fastEthernet 8 overload
However they did not work it was pretty close to whats in the basic website up there I listed as well. I think I went back to the basic configuration in the config file post above. Its really frustrating as I follow directions and they do not seem to work. I understand I am using my private 192.168.1.0 subnet as an ISP and maybe that has something to do with it but when yoru first learning and things dont work its kind of overwelming as you have problems seeing the big picture and dont yet trust in things you have learned as they are unfamiliar so its easy to get lost.
I am trying to configure the FE8 (WAN port) to connect to the Internet. We're swtiching ISP'ssoon so this router was set up at my office and has since been deployed at the client site. So far it is just plugged in and powered, with a console cable attached but no LAN cabling since this router will replace an existing one using the same addressing (except the WAN settings of course). So for now I am just focused on working on the WAN side since I have the ISP's cable modem attached . I had intiially used CP Express to config the wan port with an IP and mask and the various port forwarding options I intend to use. Now, connected via console cable, I tried pinging the IP of the wan port, which works. Beyond that, can't ping anyting (8.8.8.8 - a Google IP), also can't resovle any DNS names which makes sense with no apparent connectivity. Likely my config is just imcomplete. Nowhere in sh run do I see a Default Gateway, yet this ISP did specify one so I assume I need to enter it. Not sure what's the right way - I get confusing results on searches telling me either to use ip default-gateway or ip default-network. I want to think that it's as simple as entering in the IP but so far I've learned with the IOS that you never do anythign without knowing all the possible implications, which I don't. Also while I am at it, I don't know what I should have for DNS entries. This router will not be a DNS server for any internal systems that function will be managed by the two Windows 2008 R2 DNS machines. The ISP has also provided two IP's for their DNS servers. I thought it would be a simple matter of just adding two entrires via ip name-server command, which I did. So now I have four entries, first the two internal servers (inaccessible currently due to no LAN cabing to this router), and the two ISP servers. Can't ping those either, but again there's no default gateway.
I'm working with some 891W's that have the internal 800-series AP. I have this router set up initially using Cisco Config Express, then, using Cisco Config Professional 2.5 I set up the firewall and other featuress that CCE doesn't do. Overall this is a very simple router, meant to be a small business Internet gateway device but is currently in my lab.
The intended WLAN setup is very simple. One SSID, with broadcast enabled, using WPA2-Personal. Auth: open Encryption is both TKIP and AES-CCM.
However no matter what I do I cannot get thhis thing to broadcast . In the past I had sometimes run into issues where if I had more than one AP running independently it would cause a channel conflict and one or both would cancel each other's radio, so I disabled all other AP's in my vicinity.
Also I've had issues in the past where f I enabled both TKIP and AES, sometimes clients can't find the AP as a result. My solution had been to disable one of them leaving just the other - no change here however.
Via the IOS, ssid config shows mbssid guest-mode which I believce is default.
Interestingly, if I do the following:
ap# Config t ap(config)# dot11 ssid <myssid> ap(config - ssid)#guest-mode end
I end up with both "guest-mode" and "mbssid guest-mode" in the sh run for the AP, and voila, my AP broadcasts the SSID. However clients end up joining without any security at all, no prompts for pre-shared key or anything.
I have a e4200 sitting behind a BT home hub 2. The home hub provides internet connection to the e4200, and the e4200 allows all devices to connect. I am able to ping internal IP addresses, but when I try to ping by device name it returns the external IP address. How can I view / amend the DNS table on the router?
I have an 891W that I initially configured using CCP Express (2.5). So it has a WAN IP set, and through CCP Express I had enabled via the checkboxes the various default settings for security. This includes zone-based firewall. I then added a number of NAT entries in the setup wizard.
What never occured to me at the time was that I should have added entries that allow for remote access. So it seems I've locked myself out of accessing the router via the WAN interface even though I know it's IP. I'm sure it's just a matter of adding port exceptions for SSH and/or whatever port(s) CCP uses.
So I"m wondering what the proces woudl be. In the IOS while showing the running config., I see pages and pages of class-map stuff which at present I don't know enough about to risk editing anything directly. But maybe I don't have to? What would be the best way to, for example, enable SSH access through the firewall? I already have transport input ssh set on the interface itself so I believe it's ready to allow the connection, just that I can't get to it via WAN int. so I assume it's the firewall.
I just bought a Linksys 320N router to replace another competitors router. I am trying to connect to my VPN server from outside my network. I have the external ip to my network. I setup the new 320N router just like the old router. set dmz ip to internal ip of vpn server, set port forwarding to 1723, both, internal ip of vpn server, I have a way to test the vpn while i am inside my network. So, I can watch the VPN server log and see the request come into the server and it times out with the Linksys 320 N hooked up. If I have the old router hooked up, the vpn establishes a connection.
I had an Linksys WRT54GS and this wireless is connected to a switch in an internal enviroment but i want connect guest users without them see my internal network and can't access to any internal server....how can i configure this?
I've just recently started to get this error, and I'm not sure why (I have no expierence with routers whatsoever). I have noticed, that whenever this happens though, that my NAT type for my xbox goes strict.
I have a problem with my router, WRT54G2. I was upgrading my firmware when my computer froze up, so I had to exit. Afterwards, I could not connect to the web based setup page anymore. I did a factory reset and installed it again with Network Magic and set up my wireless key. It is working now however, I cannot get into the web based setup page. Whenever i go to 192.168.1.1 and enter my info, it just says 500 Internal Server Error. I was always able to access this page, now I can't, so I assume it's not working because of the interrupted firmware update. I do alot of mac filtering and I limit the amount of IP addresses my router gives out so if anyone hacks my security key, they still won't be able to connect, so accessing my router setup page is important to me. I have reset (hold down reset button for 30 secs - 1 minute) the router many times and still nothing. I mean, the router still works. My brother and I can still connect with our laptops, I just can't get to the web based setup page.
Just bought first wireless router, when i insert CD and start setup, after a few seconds i get Error 301: internal error. i have rebooted and still no luck. I've tried going to 192.168.1.1, i got in one time but didn't understand half the stuff. now i can't go back into that page.
I have an E3000 router, 2 computers connected via wires, and a PS3, airport express, laptop, and a few other devices which connect wirelessly. I've been having intermittent difficulties with specific services disappearing within my network. From time to time, some of the services which run across the network stop working; The Airport disappears (cannot contact it via airport utility or see it as an airplay destination), and the Playstation stops being able to contact media server running on wired computer. When this occurrs, all devices are still able to connect to the internet, and I am even able to copy files between a hard wired computer and laptop via CIFS (windows file sharing) protocol. Power cycling the E3000 solves this; the airport reappears, the PS3 can once again see the media server running on the PC, etc.
I am experiencing one, possibly two problems with the X3000, firmware release v1.0.03:
1. When enabling guest mode, the internal network is not accessible via WLAN even for clients NOT connected via guest mode but regularly: Even non-guests but regularly connected clients can't access any internal IP but the router itself. netscan shows only the very client's IP and the router's. Only after switching guest mode entirely off, regularly connected clients can access interal IP again. netscan correctly shows the whole network. Obviously a firmware bug. BTW: Clients connected via cable do not experience this problems.
2. I am not sure about this, but after using the firmware built in "Reboot" button, the router reboots correctly. But for some reason, it is instable afterwards. It is operational for a few seconds but then reboots again. It keeps cycling. I could stop it by switching the router off and on again.
I am having some issues with configuring static DNS on my e2000 router. When I configure the opendns addresses on static dns 1 and static dns 2 , all traffic, including traffic that should be internal to my network, gets routed to opendns. I tried to switch to staic setting and then putting in opendns into the dns server addresses but when you hit save it also sets the address and sends it along with DHCP to each pc.
I have an 891w as my edge device for my home office. I have a VLAN for family use (wired and wireless) that routes out to the internet just fine. I have a second VLAN assigned to a VPN tunnel that backhauls traffic to my corporate network (wired and wireless) and all of the traffic gets to the corporate network fine when I am on that VLAN.
However, while I am on the VPN VLAN, no traffic gets to the internet. I believe it is because I have the gateway of last resort (0.0.0.0) set to the WAN IP address provided by my ISP, so DNS is resolving against corporate, but because there is no specific route, it is trying to dump the traffic back out the WAN without traversing the VPN tunnel.
I have a cable modem, hub and two routers. One router is wireless and the computers on this router have an IP address of 10.1.x.x. The other is a wired router and the computers on this router have an IP address of 192.168.x.x. Computers on both networks have Internet access but can't talk to computers on the other router.What I'm wondering is instead of using 3 hardware devices (1 hub/2 routers), is there any router model that will allow me to setup two internal networks similar to what I have above. I just want to cut down on the equipment and power that I use with my current setup.
Using a command prompt, how do I discover the internal IP of an unused router, which I set to a custom value and forgot? The router is not currently in use for internet access. I would like to access the control panel of the router without resetting it.I attached my netbook to the router with an RJ45 cable and disabled the netbook's wireless adapter to avoid conflicts with my current network. Using an elevated command prompt, I did an "ipconfig /release", rebooted and ran "ipconfig /all", but the gateway entry is blank. An "arp -a" returns 169.254.190.120 as the only interface. A "netstat -a" returns 169.254.190.120:xx...'s, 127.0.0.1:xx...'s, and 0.0.0.0:xx...'s, but no router internal IP address.Is there a way discover the attached device without resetting?
I have a private minecraft server running off an old computer in my house. i recently had trouble, i was unable to connect. after some investigating, i found that my router changed the servers internal ip, and as a result i had to re-forward all the ports. a short while later, i rebooted the server, and its internal ip changed again. first is was 192.168.1.103, but then it went to .129, and now its .137. how can i stop it from doing this? ive never had this issue before. its a cisco linksis e2000
I used the GRE tunnel site to site VPN with 2 cisco 1841 routers. Behind one of the router R1, I used cisco ASA 5510, now my vpn is connect between two routers, but from R2 other site cannot access to LAN behind the firewall. From R1, also cannot route to local network, from local network can access to R1, I think cause of NAT . So how to configure to route internal network from R1 & R2 with VPN.
