802.11-ac ipad

Hi,
Was thinking of upgrading to the new TC and giving my current TC to my sister. Any guess whether the new iphone5 or the upcoming  ipad5. Will include 802.11-ac? Knowing Apple I am thinking, no. but then again they did come out with this Router.
Also, does anyone know if this router will be upgradable to the final version of the 802.11-ac spec?
I remember when the iPhone 4S came out just before LTE was announced by AT&T and then did not include LTE in the 4S.
For What I do, a lot of photos and video. An ipad with 802.11-ac would be more than ausome. And is really needed.
Thanks,
John Gerard

Well I really hope so. I do a lot of video and photo editing and transfer wiles to from my ipad to my TC and that could really use a Speed boost. I wonder when the ATV4 with 802.11-ac will come out. Apple in the past likes to either roll out small incremental hardware updates to keep the Robles at a minimum or if they have the technology eek out more money by not putting all their eggs in one basket. Since the first Macintosh computer Apple likes to keep things simple so there is less change of things breaking like under the Windows philosophy.
We shall see soon enough on Tuesday.

  • ISE, Wireless (WLC) , 802.1x and Ipads

    Hi,
    I cant seem to get the Ipads to work properly.
    Laptops have no issues.
    I have used the iphone configuration utility to create a wireless profile, Emailed it to the Ipad, imported the profile.
    It prompts for a username and password on import.
    When trying to join the wireless network, i get a request for the wireless nextwork password.
    On WLC I get
    client authentication failure,
    Reason:Unspecified  ReasonCode: 1
    Im going to keep digging, but if anyone knows how to do this and save me hours of trawling that would be great

    Hi,
    Ok, I managed to get it connected.
    My issue is that even if i have the network advertised in my wifi->choose a network options on the ipad, i cannot connect to it.
    I have to manually select other, enter the details, select the WPA2 and enter credentials. It then connects.
    I have tried to role out profiles to the device, but it does not seem to have any effect at all. It does not try auto join nor does it allow joining via clicking on the wireless network directly.
    This is obviously a problem if i have to roll this change out to +100 users.
    Ideally, I would like to have the profile available which they can just install, and enter credentials.
    Anyone got this working?

  • Does 802.11n give a speed boost on the iPad?

    I did some testing to see if I'd get a speed boost by enabling 802.11n on my Belkin F5D8233-4 router, which supports 802.11n draft specification. I have Verizon FIOS with 25Mbps download/upload. I also have the Verizon router, which only supports 802.11b/g, and I can switch which router I'm connected to in order to compare speeds of 802.11n and 802.11g. All tests were done less than 3 feet from either router.
    Bottom line is that the iPad doesn't get any speed boost by using 802.11n, at least by using speedtest.net to do the testing.
    The test I used was with the speedtest app for the iPhone. I made the Belkin a pure 11n router, and ran that app from the iPad. So the connection had to be 802.11n. Then I connected the iPad to my Verizon router, which had to be 802.11g, and saw virtually no difference.
    I did the same test with a Windows laptop from my job that supports 802.11n. It connected locally to the Belkin router at 72Mbps according to the internal utility. Testing using speedtest.net indicated that using the 802.11n connection on the Belkin was 50% faster than the 802.11g connection on the Verizon router. (About 30Mbps for Belkin/802.11n compared to 20Mbps for Verizon/802.11g for downloads).
    But with the iPad, doing the same test (switching from Belkin router to Verizon router), the speed didn't change. It actually seemed a little slower when I was on 802.11n, but repeated tests showed some variability, and the average was about 19Mbps.
    I realize that the overall speed for the iPad when I'm in my house will get throttled by the FIOS connection max of 25Mbps (although it's interesting that with my MacMini, and the Windows laptop, when connected via 100baseT, I get 30Mbps from FIOS when they promise 25Mbps!). But I can't get the good results from the iPad using 802.11n that I see with the Windows laptop. I'd like to try a local speedtest using the local LAN. I installed Speedtest MINI on the MacMini, enabling the Mac as a server, and the Windows laptop did 72Mbps on the local LAN. But Speedtest MINI requires Flash in the browser, so I can't do that test on the iPad. And the Speedtest app for iPhone doesn't let you pick a local URL for the server.
    So I'm now pretty sure that 802.11n isn't really working right on the iPad with my Belkin router, in terms of delivering increased performance. I've read other posts where people have looked at the transmit rate from the router side, but I really wish I could look at the transmit rate from the iPad (like I do in Mac OS X, or in Windows) to verify.
    To be sure, I'd like to run a speedtest on my local LAN from the iPad. Has anyone been able to actually do some kind of test that verifies the speed of an iPad connection on a local LAN, and does that verification from the iPad, and not the router?
    And finally, has anyone ever done a test that verifies that 802.11n from an iPad delivers a speed boost compared to 802.11g? Are there specific requirements on the router side that need to be satisfied so that the iPad gets a boost? I've read elsewhere where someone said that you only get the boost if using Apple's Airport Extreme as the router (so that you can't really get 802.11n on a non-Apple router), and I think I saw someone say that the router has to support communication over 5.0Ghz for the iPad to be fast on 802.11n. Has Apple ever said what are the real requirements for the iPad to be faster on 802.11n versus 802.11g?

    To the contrary, my experience is that the "G" standard on WiFi provided MUCH faster speeds than the "N" standard on Wi-Fi.  It makes no sense, I know, but it is true.
    I was having horribly slow Wi-Fi speeds on my iPad2, despite a fast cable modem connection and a "N" generation Linksys wireless router (maybe 2-3 yrs old).  Was achieving speeds of only 1.3Mbs -- slow enough that you couldn't watch YouTube videos.  From hunting around on the web, I came across the suggestion to manually set the Wi-Fi router to the "G" standard (ie downgrade it from the faster "N" standard).  Remarkably, I did it and it worked like a charm.  I now get Wi-Fi speeds of about 12 or 13 Mbs, or 10x what I was getting before.  It is an easy fix.  And also I think the "G" standard is capable of 50Mbs so even though it is a slower and older standard, it is still way faster than anything you are likely to achieve as a home user.   I think there is some glitch or oddity in the iPad and iPad2 which can cause it to perform very poorly with older "N" standard WiFi routers.  New ones don't seem to have a problem.

  • Connecting iPads to an Enterprise Wireless 802.1x (EAP-TLS) Network Using Windows Server 2003 IAS

    Hi there,
    I am asked to deploy iPads on an 802.1x EAP-TLS WiFi network. The customer has a Windows Server 2003 IAS server providing RADIUS. There also is a Windows based CA infrastructure in place. This solution is in production and is already being used by other wireless devices. Could someone please highlight the configuration steps for the iPad deployment? The customer whishes to automate the initial deployment and the renewal of the certificates. I have a basic understanding of 802.1x, RADIUS, Certificates etc. in a Windows infrastructure but I am new to enterprise deployment of iPads. There is no MDM tool in place by the way...
    I did find a Microsoft article which I think describes what needs to be done: http://blogs.technet.com/b/pki/archive/2012/02/27/ndes-and-ipads.aspx. This article basically states the following steps:
    1. Create a placeholder computer account in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)
    2. Configure a Service Principal Name (SPN) for the new computer object.
    3. Enroll a computer certificate passing the FQDN of the placeholder computer object as a Subject Name, using Web Enrollment Pages or Certificates MMC snap-in directly from the computer (Skip step 4 if you are using the Certificates MMC snap-in)
    4. Export the certificate created for the non-domain joined machine and install it.
    5. Associate the newly created certificate to the placeholder AD DS domain computer account manually created through Name Mappings
    The article then elaborates on specific steps needed for the iPad because it treats all certificates as user certificates. Can someone confirm this behavior??
    Regards,
    Jeffrey

  • Why won't my iPad 2 connect to my 802.11g network?

    Hello everyone,
    Today I received an iPad 2 as a gift.  It is the first Apple product I have ever owned.  I spent about 3 hours this morning trying to get it to turn on -- it kept displaying an image of a USB cord so I connected it to my computer.  Still the iPad would not display its desktop.  Finally, I learned that the iPad had to be connected to a PC running Windows (instead of the Centos 5 Linux system that I use).  Additionally iTunes had to be installed.  I find it extremely bizaare to require the device to connect to a computer before being able to turn it on.
    Now after getting the device to boot, I am attempting to connect to my home wireless network.  Thus far it appears this is going to be Strike Two for me and the iPad 2.  My wifi network is 802.11g using WPA2-AES and 128 bit key.  The iPad 2 recognizes the presence of my network (the SSID appears in the listing when it prompts me to connect), however, when I supply the 128bit key to connect, the iPad 2 reports that it is unable to connect.
    I went into the Network configuration in the General Settings and attempted to add the network manually (ensuring I could specify WPA2 as the encryption type).  Same failure.
    Any hints on getting this thing to connect to my network?  I've already watered the security down to 128bit encryption (from 256bit).  All the other devices in my home are able to connect without issue.  The iPad 2 detects a strong signal from the router.
    Thanks,
    Josh

    I appreciate everyone that responded with the intent of helping me solve the issue.  This forum is weird -- there are many users that try to help with iPad2 issues and then there are many that mock me and say I should just return it for expecting this very expensive device to just work.
    After a late night of debugging with Wireshark, I finally tracked down the problem (Apple, feel free to send me a cheque for my services)
    I will post the solution here for those who desire to use an 802.11x security protocol that has not yet been compromised (WPA2-AES).
    When you attempt to join a wireless network, the iPad asks for the password.  If this password contains any characters other than 0-9, A-F (hexadecimal), WPA states that Password Based Key Derivation Function 2 (RSA Security, PKCS #5) must be used to calculate the pre-shared key.  If however, the password contains only hexadecimal characters, then that value *is* the key to be used (e.g. do not run the PBKDF2 function)
    I specify my network keys in hex both in my router and my devices.  This means the devices nor the router need to invoke PBKDF2.
    The key I specified in my router was entered using upper case hexadecimal letters (e.g. A, B, C, D, E, F) whereas the key I entered on the iPad 2 was entered using lower case hexadecimal letters (e.g. a, b, c, d, e, f).  Since I am specifying a key, the uppercase and lower case hexadecimal values have the same binary represention -- meaning they are identical.  The iPad, however, does not treat them as identical and therefore attemps to connect using an invalid pre-shared key (my guess is it is running PBKDF2 when it shouldn't be -- but I don't care enough to troubleshoot it any further)
    In summary, this issue will only affect those of us that specify our pre-shared keys explicitly (via hexadecimal) in the router.  As a workaround, make sure you enter the hexadecimal key using only lower case letters (a-f) when you set the key in the router and use lower case letters (default) when entering the key on the iPad 2.
    After doing so, iPad 2 can connect as can the other 20 devices I own that followed the WPA specification in the first place.

  • Does IPad 1 support 5GHz 802.11n..???!!!!

    Does IPad 1 support 5GHz 802.11n..???! or just 802.11a for 5GHz band.
    Thanks

    Yes it does support both 2.4 and 5 GHz. The specs N and to meet N you have to have both. If you look at the specs for the fourth generation (the latest one) iPod Touch it says "802.11n 2.4GHz only".

  • Ipad 2 802.1X PEAP Authentication problem (With profile from IPCU)

    Hi!
    I'm in the processes of setting up a new wireless network for a costumer.
    A little info about the hardware:
    Cisco WLC 5508
    Cisco AP 2602i
    Cisco ISE - radius server
    ipads gen 4 (iOS 6)
    EAP-TLS (windows machines) and PEAP (Other stuff, ipads, andriod etc) as authentications methods
    The radius server is using a server certificate from thier own PKI infrastructure therefor i need to push the root certificate of their CA to the clients in order to verify the authentication server. For this I use the iphone/ipad configuration utility.
    I use the Use Per-connection password option
    User that are allowed to connect are placed in a specific group in there AD.
    The problem that I have is:
    When a user thats not allowed to connect tries to authenticate to the network the ipad says stop and thats the way it supposed to be.
    BUT after someone has faild to authenticate to the network and somebody else tries to connect the ipad only ask for a password and not a username.
    I cant seem to get rid of this popup and therefor the ipad cant connect.
    If I don't use the profile I can forget about the network and after that i can connect with a different user.
    But then i can't verify the server-certificate and use the option per-connection password!
    Please help!
    Has someone else seen this type of bug.
    //Simon

    Hi, I am new with 802.1x, and was hoping that someone would help with these queries:
    1. How is a certificate requested without being allowed on a network that is not authenticated with 802.1x. I had to first connect to an active network, retrieve a certificate with the proper username and password, and then physically connect to the port on the 2950 switch which was enabled to do 802.1x
    2. My config is as below:
    aaa new-model
    aaa authentication dot1x default group radius
    aaa authenication login default group radius
    dot1x system-auth-control
    interface f0/1
    switchport mode access
    dot1x port-control auto
    end
    I able to login using the radius server, so radius is working (on ports other than f1/0). However when connecting to f1/0, the port on the 2950 remains blocked.
    3. The certificate is issued by the ca server, is viewable via Internet explorer,and is issued to the correct username which is on the active directory.
    I even tried using local authenication with 802.1x, this did not work
    4. If I have a certificate, will this automatically give me access to the 802.1x port?
    5. I have windows 2000, and authenication is set to 'Smart Card or other certificate.
    Am I missing anything?
    Any advise will be greatly appreciated

  • IPhone/IPad  - 802.1x wifi  - certificates

    Hi all,
    I would like to know if there's possible to connect Ipnone and Ipad devices to corporate network ( 802.1x wep ) using certificates, we have a Microsoft 2003 CA .
    The goal is to deploy profiles (OTA if possible)  to 200 devices so they can connect to wifi without entering user and password.  I don't know if it's better to use user certificates or device certificates. Few months ago I set up a similar scenario with Blackberry devices using only one user certificate for all devices but sure it's not the best solution.
    Any hint to start reading?
    thanks in advance

    Jimbo did you ever figure this out?

  • IPad 802.1x and Microsoft RADIUS

    Is anyone running iPad 2's in the enterprise using Microsoft RADIUS server? Now I understand that you can't use device certs because iPads cannot be joined to the domain, but I can use user certs. Now I read that iOS support PKCS#1 and #12, but I do not have this option on my CA for a cert request? Can someone share some tips on how they deployed these devices on the enterprise network? I could really use some help here. Thanks.

  • Ipad can't get maximum of 802.11n (40 Mhz channel, 300 Mbps)

    Hi, Gens!
    I have TP-Link 1043 with OpenWRT. My WiFi is 802.11n with 20 MHz width at 2,4 GHz and 40Mhz width at 5,2 MHz.
    Encryption is WPA2 with AES
    My laptop connects at follwoing RX/TX rates:
    180.0 Mbit/s, MCS 12, 40MHz
    270.0 Mbit/s, MCS 14, 40MHz
    We can see everything goes fine and 40 MHz wide frequency rage is consumpted
    At the same time, Ipad connect only at
    24.0 Mbit/s, MCS 0, 20MHz

    I looked a lot of discussions but I can not figure out what to do, to make my Iphone work fgaster than 65Mbits and Ipads - faster than 130Mbits... It is a maximum in my conditions and I dunno what to fix...

    Hi deemona,
    Everything appears to be normal on your wireless network. It all comes down to what WiFi standards each device supports.  On 2.4GHz the iPhone 5 only supports a max of 72Mpbs (20MHz, 1 stream).  The new iPad (mini/Air) supports a max of 150Mbps (20Mhz, 2 streams). 
    On 5GHz things change slightly where both the iPhone 5 and new iPads support 40Mhz channel bonding allowing each to support higher speeds, the iPhone 5 150Mbps and new iPads 300Mbps.
    Hope this helps!

  • Cyberoam 802.1x WiFi on iPad Mini ?

    I am planning to purchase an iPad Mini in India.
    My college has a Cyberoam 802.1x WiFi
    Wifi is hidden.
    Configuration; PEAP with Mschapv2 authentication
    It requires a login id and password to use the internet.
    Please tell me whether this type of WiFi can work on iPad Mini.

    My friend, wifi a/b/g/n is wifi network type and I know that iPad Mini supports the same. WiFi 802.1x is an encryption type(used in enterprise wifi networks) not a network type and I am asking about that.
    I'll be glad if you could please help me regarding this.
