Our head office has two 4402 wireless controllers 16 AIR-LAP 1142 access points in the office. we've just bought an AP541 for one of the regional offices. What I want to know is can I 8inergrate the AP541 into the wireless network with the 4402 so I can administer from a central site and so the wireless users will be active at the regional site connected to the WAN.
View 1 RepliesAlthough I am quite used to using the WLC 4402 and the attached APs, I have no knowledge about licensing and I'm wondering if it has a limited number of AP's that can be controlled by the WLC? I'm not planning on adding 1000's but at the moment we have 21 and will probably be adding an additional 30 in the near future.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 3 ap541n's in a cluster. I have upgraded 2 of them to 2.04 firmware. The third did not take the upgrade well and hung during the process. I have tried factory reset it but to no avail.
The AP's are on a simple network - they get their IP's via DHCP.
I just got 3 AP541, the reason for getting this was the dual band , but how to get this AP to actually give both 2.4 and 5 GHZ at the same time?
I have in my other office a Asus RT56, it costs about 1/3 of the Cisco and this supports both 5 and 2.4 GHZ and i get a 450 mbit connection, can only get 130 on the Cisco.
We have a WDS connection between two AP541 access points, where one AP is connected to a SA540 with cable. The AP in the other end of the WDS does just act as a repeater, broadcasting using the same SSID and channel with WPA-PSK, as the cabled AP. For the WDS channel, we have tried WPA/WEP/none encryption without any difference. Spanning tree is enabled. 802.11 mode is 'bgn'.
Sitting physically beside the remote AP (the "other" and uncabled end of WDS) with a laptop using Intel 802.11bg adapter, we get a speed in the range 5-7Mbit/sec connecting to the cabled AP (3 of 5 bars signal strength in the traybar icon on Win7). But switching to the remote AP, which is beeing feed by the WDS from the same cabled AP previously being connected to, we do just get a measured bandwidth of 1-2Mbit/sec. I understand that some throughput is lost using WDS, but this does still look like a big decrease?Any experience using WDS with AP541, who can comment on if this is expected or not, and eventually any thing we can do to increase the speed?
we plan to implement the SMB Pro AP541 for a guest access solution.is there a lobby ambassador like on the big wireless lan controller?is it possible to sign a guest a time frame - e.g. guest user has only 60 min access to the internetis it possible to enter a lifetime for the guest user - e.g. guest user can only login until 10.10.2010
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with my home network (diagram attached below). I sporadically lose connection between my Router and the devices behind the switch. I have replaced the Ethernet cable between the 2 so I don't think the problem's there. It will work for a week or so, then just lose the connection. I then try a combination of rebooting all of the devices on the network and/or unplugging and re-plugging the cable connections and sometimes that works. It's a relatively new router, but can a router be "underpowered" for pushing a signa
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have several AP541 (on different site locations) which I have currently configured for WPA enterprise using windows 2008 as the Radius server. This works fine for staff members who use the wireless when roaming around the offices.
I would also like to setup another VAP for guests to allow them to access our internet but nothing else on the network. I was wondering what approach would be the best one to adopt to achieve this. Would I be best to setup a WPA Personal VAP and allow guests to access the wireless this way. Or is there a better approach? If we did adopt this approach I presume this would mean that we have to log onto each AP in turn and then change the WPA key on each one everytime we decide to change the key? Or is there some clever software I could use to change them all in one go.
Is it possible to establish the WDS-connection on 5GHz and connect Wireless-Clients on 2,4GHz with these Acces-Points?There are some threads concerning performance-issues in combination with WDS on 541 - any news on this with the actual software-release?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having linking a computer to our SBS server. The computer in question is set in a warehouse on our site. We have a leased internet connection which is used on a number of different offices. The sbs-server has an IP address of 192.168.50.254 with a gateway Ip address of 192.168.50.1. The firewall on this network has an external IP of 10.50.0.37 with a gateway of 10.50.0.254 and this links to the leased line equipment. The external IP address for this network is 62.7.70.237. The PC in the warehouse has an IP address of 192.168.0.2 attached via a router to the leased line. The routers Ip address is 192.168.0.1, the external IP address is 10.50.0.55 and a gateway of 10.50.0.254. This links to the leased line and seems to have an external Ip address of 62.7.70.238. My issue is that I want the PC in the warehouse to be able to connect in some way to the SBS-Server. I cannot seem to access it via the external IP or the gateway (10.50.0.37).

The issue we see is that a user/laptop gets connected and gets the ip address but there will be no network access. We see a yellow exclamation sign at this time in network icon in tray and we can not ping gateway at this point. We have run debugs at this time for the machine and we could see that was in "RUN" state its only that the machine can not access network.
View 11 Replies View Relatedwe have a two port 4402 WLC here with only one port currently in use. The topology is bacically the used port uplinks to a dmz switch. Our Intranet and the Internet are accessed via an ASA from the WLC. The WLC also sits in the DMZ. This WLC is only used for guest wireless access. The AP information and traffic is exchagned from a primary WLC on our Intranet and authentication is done via RADIUS. Internet access is handled through the ASA as well on the DMZ. We have a completely independent ISP broadband connection here that was put in long before I was ever here and is used for guest wired web access. All ports are clearly labelled and have bright pink patch cords. What I would like to do is have our wireless guests be on that network rather than our dmz for their web access. I have pulled an ethernet cable from the switch that connects to that broadband connection to the cabinet with the 4402. So the physical is fine right now. I'm not all that familiar with the WLC's, so I'm not sure if everything else can remain the same as it is right now, but just connect the second port to the broadband connection and route guest Internet traffic through there rather than the DMZ.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have this guest wlan working with web authentication, as you may know in order to get authenticated you must have an IP address first then have a valid username and password. The problem is that if you don't have valid credentials you keep the IP address anyways.I'd like to know if there is a way to release the IPs that are not being used? The WLC is the DHCP server for this network.

We have a strange issue for one of our customers that recently migrated to our internet service.They are trying to vpn to an external ip address not controlled by ourselves. The issue is only on one subnet and isolated to Mac’s, PCs in the same subnet also work fine. They were able to vpn from the MACs before they migrated to our INET solution. They previously used a checkpoint FW for their outside NAT and firewall and now are using a failover pair of asa 5510s. I have packet traced out the firewall and there should be nothing blocked. UDP ports 500 and 4500 are open to the destination ips from the correct subnets. All other subnets with Windows PCs can vpn out to external ip without issue. The users in that subnet with the MACs can also browse internet fine so the routing and nat overloading is also ok
When they try to initiate a connection from the macs i can see the connection/xlate coming in from a source port of udp 4500/500 and also a destination of udp 4500/500 instead of a random source port. Just this evening we managed to get one device connected but no others. Would the fact that the source port is claiming 500 and 4500 stop the other macs using the same source ports at the same time to connect out? They are using the onboard mac vpn client, he can’t get the Cisco one working at the minute. [code]
we have 2 DHCP controlled networks at our work:
Network 1: Transparent EOC connection to Internet. Directly behind the EOC box is a router using a static (WAN) address provided from our ISP. Internally, the router uses DHCP (LAN) to manage a 192.168.1.x network. All computers on this network are using 192.168.1.x addresses via DHCP from that router - (rather, they should be). We use this for Internet access, office computers, a POS server and our POS systems. Mostly windows xp and some win 7 systems. Server is Windows 2008 server, but is not controlling DHCP nor a domain. It's just a Win 2008 computer on the network running as a "virtual box" on a VMware-based server.
Network 2: Comes in on a separate DSL line. This DSL modem is set up as a bridge. The router behind the bridge is using a static IP block (8 static IP addresses, 5 usable) from our ISP. Internally, this router uses DHCP (LAN) to manage a 175.69.10.x network (or some address similar to that). All machines on this network are using 175.69.10.x addresses via DHCP from the 2nd router. There is external VPN access to this network via one of the static IP addresses. This is routed correctly. This is Primarily a Linux network controlling several linux based machines. So, someone decided to "bridge" these two networks by simply plugging each network into the same central switch via Cat 5 cable.
The first problem we had (of course) was that the DHCP servers conflicted immediately, so we had to set half of this "mongrel" network to static IPs like 192.168.1.x, and the other computers are getting their addresses via DHCP from the 176.68.1.x network router. The second router keeps "resetting" the network, causing IP address problems on the first network, screwing up our POS system in the process. But we still need to access the linux machines on network 2 (via http) from the machines on network 1.The goal is to be able to be sitting at machine 192.168.1.x on one network, open a web browser, type in a 175.69.10.x address on the other network and have the linux web-based application come up from the machine on the second network. (We may need more services bridged besides just http.)Putting both networks on the EOC connection controlled by a single router is NOT an option.
In the Power Schedule section, when I input my desired date and time to turn a socket on and off, the settings do not stay. It reverts back to the preset date from the manufacturer after I submit.

I am thinking the solution to this issue is to place a 3rd router as a bridge between the two networks. Is this correct?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded my home network to include a new DOCIS 3 cable modem (SB 6121), RV 180 router, and a wireless access point. I have about 7 computers/devices on the network. A computer connected directly to the new modem was pulling down 30MB/sec (various speed tests), but when RV 180 was inserted between modem and network, downloads dropped to 10MB/sec. I worked with tech support (very kind), baselined the router, without improvement, and support conclusion was "hardware issue, need to RMA router".The one thing we failed to configure on the router was the Domain Name (Networking/LAN/IPv4 (local network)/DHCP/Domain Name:). Once I entered the domain name that actually matched the Workgroup / Domain name of the computers on the network, downloads and speed tests jumped to 30MB/sec consistently, and web browsing performance significantly improved.
