My desktop PC which has an Asus PCE-N13 Wireless Adapter with two stock SMA antennas receives a very poor signal due to the significant distance between my desktop and the router.In order to improve my signal strength, I thought about buying better 3rd party antennas and specifically external ones which I could place closer to the router that connect to the SMA connections on my wireless adapter via a wire. There's many of these antennas for sale I see, but I'm unsure which is best suited for my situation.
Is it possible to use external antennas on AP541N set in WDS mode? I would only need to use 802.11g mode 54mbps.I believe that the antennas shipped with the access points are removable RP-SMA.
I have not done the firmware for the units yet but have had only 1 outage thus far (but I think it was a power issue over the weekend).What I have done, 3 weeks ago, is put external antenna's on the 2 units which are 15 feet apart at 15dBi.The output is 40hz and I changed the latency time settings on the main unit, leaving the secondary at factory.This seems to be working for me so far. Usually goes down over the weekend and have to reset Mondays,but not this week. I am afraid of running the firmware because then it may become unstable again.
I have a question about external antennas on an access point. I have to plan a wireles solution, that also includes coverage in the industrial freezers. The freezers are one part of the sotck rooms, so the general coverage will be done with 1602I access points.
Since there are quite a lot of freezers in one location, installing separate AP in every freezer will be very expensive. I wondered if there is a possibility to put one 1602 access point with external antennas outside the freezer and then extend the antennas with 2m cables inside different freezers (1602E has three external antennas, so one antenna to each freezer).
Would this installation even work?
The freezers are quite small rooms maybe 2-3m2 sow the coverage is not a problem. But does this installation support multiple clients per AP in different freezers doing stocktaking with handheld terminals?
I have a ThinkPad running 2000PRO that I just installed a WPX54G Notebook Adapter. After installing and restarting the computer I get a window saying External exception E06D7363. Also, when I go into configure it says the adapter is inactive. When the computer first starts up the icon for the adapter is green then turns gray.
I've been having a problem with my wifi for a month or so. I used to connect well to my wifi, but then one day my laptop just can't connect to it anymore. It says "windows was unable to connect to" or something similar to that.But what's strange is, I have an external wifi adapter (Tenda 802.11n, it looks like an USB flash drive). I use this adapter to connect to Wifi with the very same password, and it can connect perfectly. Signal strength is around the same level.I tried using windows troubleshooter, didn't work. I borrowed my friend's laptop (which is very modern, and have windows 7 - mine has windows XP), but the same problem exists: the laptop can't connect, but the adapter can.I also tried to export the wifi settings to an USB flash drive (using windows 7's function), and installed it on the laptops. Didn't work. [code]
I'm trying to set up a personal ssh server on Lubuntu 13.04, but I've been having a few problems.
So far i've accomplished this:
I can connect locally, through my internal IP address, I can ping myself through my external IP address through an external internet source(Mobile phone hotspot + Different computer)I have a free dynDNS running, so that I don't have to type my external IP address.It works (if i connect to that IP locally, it forwards to my router)I set up port forwarding in my router, temporarily disabled my personal and the router's firewall too.
The problem I have is that I cannot connect through ssh from a different computer outside my network: The usual response that I get is "Error.. [etc] No route to Host".
I tried using the 'canyouseeme.org' service, and the response is the same.
I use an Internet Service Provider called iiNet, and apparently they have some per-account port blocking features, which I have also disabled from their site.I am running short on resources. DMZ does not work either, default port (22) does not work, custom port does not work either (9222, 9512 or 12222).
So I'm guessing it's either a router fault, or a fault on the ISP's customer-level firewall.

I'm connected using a Edimax 7811-nu adapter (Default driver doesn't work, had to install a fixed one)
I'm using a BoBlite Router and the firmware version is BoBLite1500.
I got a different tower to use ,and added my wireless card and external antenna to it , but need setting up the new PC tower to use the wireless card and antenna. How to set up the available connections so that I can use this in my garage too.
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) on a Dell Inspiron 560. I am using a DI-524 D-Link wireless router. I have an Acer Aspire One Net Book running Windows XP Home it is equipped with an internal wireless network adapter. I can connect/communicate with router and access the internet with no problems whatever. However, when I connect an external wireless network adapter e.g. Alpha AWUS036H I cannot get a connection when I disable my internal network adapter. I have also tried the Trendnet TEW-424UB USB external wireless network adapter and the symptoms are exactly the same.
I am expanding coverage in a big outdoor area.Most of the area is covered with AP1552 with AIR-ANT2506 5,2 db antennas.At the border of the area i have some masts where i can place ap's.Would it make sense to use directional antenna's there? I have a big open area where it is not possible to place ap's.The only placement is a mast in the middle of the area.I have a AP1552 with 5,2 db antennas there.Can i get better coverage if i place 3 or 4 ap's with directional antennas ?Or should i try with a 12dBi AIR-ANT24120 ?
I am building a BOM for a customer and I need to present cheaper options than 3500 or 3600 APs. I thought of these two models but I don't know what models of antennas to pick.1602 is a 3X3 MIMO with 3 antenna connectors. How many 2.4 GHz and how many 5.8 GHz antennas should I pick for each radio?2602 is a 3X4 MIMO with 4 antenna connectors. In this case I suppose there are 2 connectors per radio.
I´m trying to test anntenas in a AIR-CAP3062E-A-K9 the problem is that when I´m below the AP the speed is weak, the AP es with a WLC, so I was wondering if do you know a command or a form to test the anntenas or the Radio.
I have an existing 1242AG AP in a remote location, I have full access to it. I have a new 1242AG that was ordered but the client forgot to order antennas for it. Is there a way I can find out the exact model of antennas that are connected to the in place AP at the remote location??
1. Can the C1200 antennas work on the 1262 ? 2. Can the 2.4Ghz antenna work on the 5Ghz ports on the 1262 ? 3. The 1262 has 6 antenna ports (3 2.4ghz and 3 5ghz), can the (3) 2.4 Ghz antenna be used only as i only have antennas for the C1200 Access point which are 2.4 Ghz.
We ordered 2 Cisco AIR-LAP1242AG-E-K9 Wireless Access Points with 4 AIR-ANT5135D-R antennas.We accidentally ordered the 5GHz antennas instead of the 2.4GHz antennas.Would it be possible to use the 5GHz antennas as 2.4GHz antennas?If so, are there any down sides to it?
I would like to install three antennas (2450S) on some AP1261 that i wold spread out 10 feet apart. I am not able to get the antenna on the C connector to transmit. I am not using 802.11N. This is for a warehouse where all the WiFi devices are 802.11G. My question is: can you get all three connectors on the AP to transmit.
What is the power rating of a 1552e mesh AP before the antennas are attached? I have the dual band 2.4 / 5 GHz antennas. I know their Db rating, but I have not been able to find what the AP is.
I'm working in a campus environment that has an existing wireless network using a Cisco AIR-WLC2112-K9 controller.There are 8 AIR-LAP1242G-A-K9 access points connected to the controller. Each access point has a 5.0GHZ 4.5dbi Cisco omnidirectional antenna, although the AP only supports 2.4GHZ.
Q1. Why a 5.0ghz antenna might had been used with a 2.4ghz AP, and if we can expect increased performance if we replace the antennas with 2.4ghz ones?
Q2. On the controller, the antenna gain is set to 0 for each AP. Is there also a benefit to leaving that 0 as opposed to 9 for 4.5dbi?
I am currently looking for informations about access point 2602e, more precisly about antennas.This AP have four RTNC connectors for external antennas, but I found these table into Cisco documentation: [code] When I see that, I understand that we only need, to transmit, three antennas with 2,4 Ghz (which is the only band we will use in a first time), but four with 5 Ghz.I also found these informations, in the same documentation:The 2602E models are configured with up to four external dual-band dipole antennas, and two 2.4-GHz/5-GHz dual-band radios. The radios and antennas support frequency bands 2400–2500 MHz and 5150–5850 MHz through a common dual-band RF interface. Features of the external dual-band dipole antennas are:
• Four RTNC antenna connectors on the top of the access point • Three TX and four RX antennas
My question: with four antennas, we have three TX and four RX, is it for 2,4 Ghz, 5 Ghz or both?
I've got two RT-N16's one is a bridge and the other is the AP.I don't need an omnidirectional antenna on the AP because it is literally in the highest, farthest corner of the structure and a quarter-sphere signal would be perfect... I'm looking for some antennas to replace the omnis on it. [URL]
My campground has a wi-fi antenna about 150 yards from my cabin. I wish to install a router with a higain antenna to access the internet from my cabin. If this is possible, could you tell me the type of equipment I'll need to purchase.
My DIR-825 is not in an ideal spot so I am thinking of getting an extension cable for the antenna (probably for both), drilling a little hole in a wall and mounting the antenna in a more central location. It really is just on the other side of a wall, maybe 5 feet total for distance, but in an open area where the signal should reach more of the house.
Can I run a cable and attach the antennas five feet away from the device itself? Is there anything I should look for in an extension cable?
im looking to buy some long range antennas to boost my wifi signal, i currently have a TPlink WR2543ND, which does a decent job in my house but id like to get some signal just outside my house if possible. Would this be better suited for a long range antenna or a wireless access point?
I am pretty clueless with anything beyond creating a simple home wireless network. But I work at a 10 room inn which is surrounded by a few properties that are also part of the inn. We need to adequately cover a diameter of about 400ft in all directions from the inn with wireless internet. Even at 400 ft the signal should be reliable and able to Skype and stream videos. The path from the Inn to each of the surrounding properties is clear. For those with experience setting up a wireless network with 400ft diameter, what equipment would you recommend?
Our network now consists of several WRT54G routers. The access points use the default antennas and we have a couple directional antennas to reach a couple of the nearby houses. We need the signal to reach another house or two now. Rather than installing more directional antennas, the owner of the inn wants to wants to just purchase new equipment for the Inn to easily reach all of the surrounding houses which house innkeepers or guests.
I would like to attach 2 x 5ghz 19db panel antennas to my dir-825.
1. Now, can it destroy my dir-825(because of its strengh). I am living in a village, and would like to connect with a few neightbours (300-600meters distance).
2. And will 2,4ghz signal will be normal (WIll it appear at all with those antennas).
I have spent two days on the phone with virgin mobile broadband where I bought the device and they do not know what I am talking about.First of all the mifi is working fine on the one and only computer I have set up so for..it is Vista operating system..I am trying to set up my vista computer as an FTP server on the mifi or wifi or whatever you call it.when I disable the DHCP service on this virgin mobile mifi device so that I can generate my own internal ip for this particular computer..It is not functioning that is I cannot connect to the internet..I tried to get from Virginmobile the DNS server address but they were confused...When I log into the device itself under advanced options it does allow for me to disable DHCP..but my problem is what IP do I use when setting up the wireless connections, I disengaged the automatic, but I am having a heck of a time trying to use the right IP then the gateway address and the DNS.
I have an Asus laptop that is about 6 months old. My husband has a MAC. Both computers are located in the living room and the wireless external drive is located in the office along with our wireless router and printer. I have no issues connecting to the router or printer, however it is extremely slow when I connect to the external drive if I can even get it to connect. My husband has no issues connecting to the external drive. I don't understand.
