Setting up Aironet 1142n as repeater
Hi,
I've just recently purchased the Aironet 1142n and am hoping to set it up as a repeater. I've followed the documentation here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/12.4_21a_JA1/configuration/guide/scg12421aJA1-chap19-wgb-standby.html#wpxref31658
but am still having problems.
What I'm trying to achieve is:
I have an adsl router (TP-link W8960N) at the front of the house but the wireless signal does not reach all the way to the end of the house. I am trying to set up the aironet 1142n to act as a repeater and place it in the middle of the house and hopefully that will extend the wireless signal to the end of the house and remove the dead spots. I would like to do this without having ethernet cables running all over the place and have been trying to configure the aironet 1142n to no avail. Every time I set the aironet 1142n to "repeater" it automatically coverts back to "access point" under role of radio network.
I guess my main question first of all is, can I set the aironet 1142n as a wireless repeater? And if so, where am I going wrong in my configuration?
I've just read that "
Repeater access points running Cisco IOS software cannot associate to parent access points that that do not run Cisco IOS software."
Does this mean the aironet 1142n set up as a repeater will not work if the original access point (in this case, the TP Link adsl wireless router) isn't a cisco brand?
Thanks,
Karen
Karen: Im not aware about any cisco IOS based device that will help.
I suggest that you post you question in small business -wireless section. If they know such a product they will help.
You can also look for TP repeater since your AP is TP already.

It is possible to have multiple libraries in a single account and use each one for a different iPod without affecting the other. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library but if you are only going to update your Dad's iPod periodically this shouldn't be an issue:

Where is the option to set a ToDo item to repeat? ...
I imported some calendar entries from MS Outlook onto my 5800, of which most were set to repeat every month.
Those items successfully repeat on the device but on creating a new ToDo item using the device's calendar app, there is no option to set repeating occurrence!
Where is the option to set a ToDo item to repeat?
Can anyone please help me with this as I do not want to have to keep re-creating items and / or using Outlook to create them then transfer etc.
'Ta very much.Just found an alternative that I thought was possible but wanted to confirm.
Set yourself up a Nokia account on www.ovi.com and set up an OVI Sync account. Sync the phone to the online account to start with.
Then, using the online interface to OVI Sync you can create an event that can be repeated weekly among other things. Re-sync the phone and that repeating event will be entered into your calendar.

Hi all,
I'm a novice at this so I do apologize...
Is it possible to have DHCP enabled on the Aironet 1142n that leases IP Addresses in a different subnet to what the Aironet has? I've basically got an Aironet 1142n with a static IP address (i.e. 10.0.0.1) and I would like all clients that connect to it to receive an IP in a different range (i.e. 192.168.1.xxx) and would also like the Aironet 1142n to act as the DHCP server. Is this possible?
Thanks!
Regards,
-AlfHere is a link that explains the dhcp service.

Cisco Aironet 1142N at elementary school
Hi. We're having a tough time at a couple of elementary schools that are using a number of Cisco products which we got through a deal with AT&T. I really hope you can give us some guidance. Here's our situation: We have an elementary school equipped with about eight Cisco Aironet 1142N access points. Signals go to 3 stacked switches (Cisco Catalyst 3750 PoE-48) and are managed via a Cisco wireless LAN controller (NME-AIR-WLC12-K9).
We are having significant bandwidth problems. If we get more than 12 laptops (we've got a "mobile Macintosh lab") simultaneously online, the network freezes.We can't even get more than 15 iTouches online simultaneously.
Here's the rest of the setup: our *elementary* school is connected via fiber (probably 10MB) to the *intermediary* school and then to the district office. The district office is connected to the Internet (county depart of Ed is officially the ISP; AT&T is the service provider). The AT&T link may be 6MB.At the *intermediary* school the data traffic for the mobile Macs is handled by an

The XServers are for Directory Services only (log in authentication for the MacBook Labs). There is one Open Directory Master at the intermediary school, and an Open Directory Replica at each site. A LightSpeed Total Traffic Control Server does content filtering for us. There are also about 5 Cisco (Windows-based) servers helping manage data at the intermediary school (VOIP and Wifi traffic only).The rest of the traffic (internal, wired ethernet) is handled by the Cisco switches and controllers; for external traffic - after the controllers it goes to the LightSpeed Traffic Control server then out the Cisco FireWall.
Sorry to dump all that on you, but candidly since we installed the Aironets in September we haven't really been able to effectively use the mobile Mac lab. Ideally we'd like to be able to run about 30 laptops simultaneously. They don't have to get video -- just google searches would be a start.
We should also note that at this elementary school, we have 4 wifi networks running different VLANs available through the Aironets. The one that has the most problems is the one I've described above -- it's supposed to be for student access. We have a teacher-only network that does NOT seem to have the same bandwidth constraints as the student network. We also Cisco VOIP phones all over the school, but use of the phones is modest.

What we’d like to know:
1. Is it likely that we have an insufficient number of access points or that that those access points can’t handle? If so, is the problem likely that we need more access points? (and if that's true, why is the teachers' network ok?)
2. Is the problem more likely at the server or switch choke point?
3. Is it likely that the problem involves Student accounts rather than teacher accounts? Why would this be so?
4. What are the best ways to test what’s causing our choke points?
Thank you for your help!!!Thanks all for your comments. Here are some responses as well as our current "plan of action." I'd VERY MUCH welcome any additional suggestions that you have about the test we're going to run (probably next Tue).
1. Channel: the site operates on Channel 1 (2.4 Ghz)
2. Professional site survey: no: AT&T is supposed to do it at some point as they're our ISP. But that hasn't yet happened. No idea when it might.
3. Aggressive load balancing? We don't know as AT&T has that info.
4. 15th client... Once we exceed 15 clients, access for all clients grinds to a halt. The slowdown is a pretty steep curve (not quite a cliff) for 15 clients when we use iPods; it begins at 12 clients or so when we use Macbooks.

Does your WLAN come to a halt or does the wired LAN gets affected too?
When we experience these problems, the teachers’ wireless LAN is unaffected. The only place we’re experiencing the slowdown is on the wireless LAN that’s used by the students. We have a “computer lab” with a wired network of about 30 PCs. (Ethernet CAT 5 to fiber on the way out of the building). This is a separate VLAN from the (student) wireless VLAN. When the student wireless VLAN stalls, it DOES NOT affect either the wired VLAN or teacher network. We do experience slowdowns on the WIRED student VLAN but no where as severe as on the WIRELESS VLAN. (In other words, we can run all 30 wired PCs on the wired LAN).
6. Could inability to get more computers on the network be due to an address limitation in the NAT server?
No. We have a big, big address range.
Here's our current plan: we're going to VERY CAREFULLY chronicle the drop off in usage at several points during the day:
8:00 am (no students)
10:00 am (busy school but probably not much student wifi usage)
noon: we'll run a test with +15 students using laptops and measure the bandwidth using a network speed checker at every point. That way, we figure we'll have a clearer chart of the usage breakdown.
Does anyone have any suggestions of addition things we should monitor during this test? We're going to do it next Tue (2/19).
In addition, if there are any specific questions that we should put to AT&T, I'd love to hear them.
Thank you all!! -
we just purchased a new Cisco Aironet 1142N and it does get hot towards the top center where the Cisco logo is.
Is this normal? Should I be concerned?Is the Cisco logo pointed downwards?
If it is hot-to-touch, I'd recommend you RMA it. It could be a fire hazard. -
IPod Nano repeat setting is off but playlist repeats
My iPod Nano repeat setting is "off" but playlist repeats. How do I stop this?
If you select a playlist, even without the repeat turned on, when you get to the end of the playlist it automatically starts over (just like your car audio system will play track one again after it finishes the last song on a CD).

Aironet 1100 as repeater: radio disabled!?!
I followed the directions according to the configuration guide 12.3(8)JA but the repeater never connects to the root AP and I notice the radio is "disabled" after setting the AP in repeater mode and it will not let me enable it. Any ideas as to why I cannot get the two Aironet 1100 AP's to connect and why the radio would be "disabled"?
ThanksI have no security in place and the SSID are the exact same. I have the AP's about 15 ft apart so the coverage should be fine. The parent mac address is correct. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance.

How to set table background to no repeat (not as obvious answer)
Hi, just to be clear I'm not refering to a normal background on a page where I could just edit the css and type background-repeat: no-repeat (hence the 'not as obvious answer' in the title).
I have a table with a background image set to it - i did this by inserting an image, cutting it out, then right clicking and selecting edit tag td... then I set the parameters and image and the image appears in the table but you can still type over it...
Anyway whenever I stretch that table out the bg image repeats.. I have tried going into HTML and finding the responsible code which was:
<td width="377" height="367" align="center" valign="middle" background="IMG/content box trial.png" >
and I added the background-repeat= "no-repeat" to it however with no success, the image still keeps on repeating...
I might be doing this wrong.. Any help is always greatly appreciated guys and gals!
Thanks!Or you could have done the modern way by defining your styles separately from the html code:
<style type="text/css" media="all">
td {
width: 377px;
height: 367px;
background-image: url('frame_border.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
</style> -
Im trying to set up an about me page like that of myspace.com
i know that in myspace you can set the background image center non
repeat can this be done as will with dreamweaver?Hello,
Yes, it can be done using CSS.
You can place this in your code, right before </head>.
Just substitute your image for mypicture.jpg.
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
background-image: url(mypicture.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
-->
</style>
-OR-
You can also do this using DW's dialog boxes (like a wizard).
If you have DW8 or CS3...or MX2004 if memory serves, you can
right click on
your page in design view.
Select CSS Styles > New
A CSS Rule dialog box opens.
Select tag, then in the tag box, type body.
You can select whether you want to add the CSS to this page
(like the code
above) or to a stylesheet linked to this page. If you are
going to use CSS
on multiple pages, it's a good idea to use a stylesheet. Then
you can make
changes in one place that affects all the pages linked to
that stylesheet.
When you click OK, a new box will open where you can define
your CSS.
Select "background" from the sidebar, and the fill in areas
are pretty self
explanatory.
I hope that helps.
Take care,
Tim

C3: setting up reminders/memo that repeats daily
I just bought my C3 yesterday. I want to figure out a way to have a reminder/memo that repeats daily with reminder tone.
I've been playing around with it and i can't seem to figure it out.
When i set it as a memo, i punch in the time period i want it to occur, but when i set the interval (days) it always comes up "invalid repeat interval". can someone help me out?
ThanksHello,
It's pretty straight forward.
Follow this steps:
1. Go to "Calendar"
2. Choose the day you want to start your reminder or memo
3. Select "Options"
4. Select "Make a note"
5. Choose "Reminder", or any other (i.e. "Memo")
6. Fill in the "Remind about" field
7. Choose the starting "Date" (it will be automatically filled with the day you selected earlier)
8. Choose "Repeat" and set it for instance to "Daily"
9. Choose "Repeat indefinitely" and set it to "Yes" if you want to repeat the reminder/memo for ever, or set it to "No" in order to choose the end date (in step 10)
10. Choose "Repeat until" date (it's the end date of your reminder/memo), this only available if you have chosen "No" in step 9
11. Then set the alarm "On" or "Off" and at what time it should set off
Hope this helps.
Regards.

How can I set a calendar event to repeat every 2nd and 4th Wednesday?
I know it's possible to create a custom repeat for every 2 weeks, but that is not what I need, as that will change to the 1st and 3rd Wednesday at times.
Fyomax,
Create two individual "Custom..." events...
One which repeats every "second" Wednesday...
...and one which repeats every "fourth" Wednesday. -
