802.11b Network Management

I need to scan the air for accessible Wi-Fi APs and find connection properties [like BSSIDs, Link Speed, SNR, BW etc] between my PDA [350 series adapter] and each AP. My dev specs are NDIS 4.0 on Windows CE. Wanted to know if Cisco had any specific driver support/OIDs from which I could get/set such information.
Thx,
Vibes

Problems with 802.11b networks

My MBP did not connect to my 802.11b home network as all my PCs do. So I upgraded to an 802.11g access point and now all the computers are talking to each other and the Internet.
But the MBP will not connect to ANY 802.11b network. I have tried several and no go!! All are unencrypted so no WEP issues. Am I missing something with the MBP or is there something wrong with the software. The configuration test window shows a strong signal and green indications for the top three lights (802.11b stuff) while turning red for the bottom three (actual connection related stuff).
I am a returning Mac user after 20 yrs with the PC, but this is very frustrating.
Thanks for your help

I've connected to 802.11b networks with no problem so it isn't a general problem.
I'm not clear on what software you are using. What software shows red and green status indicators?

Did anyone manage to connect to a 802.11b network?

My MBP won't connect to my 802.11b router wirelessly.
It gets an IP, but the broadcasts it sends are not responded by the router or any other computer on the network.
The most likely option is, that the MBP broadcast in a "g" only mode, regardless of the fact that it should be "b/g" compatible.
My airport card firmware is 0.1.17
I wonder if anyone else can connect to a "b" router. I know that almost everyone has "g" noadays, but I don't and it bugs me that I'll have to get a new one.
MacBook pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well, off course I tried all the security/no-security options the router supports. Won't work even without security.
I repeat: the Mac connects with IP (real) and all. It says it's connected, it also appears on the list of wireless connection on the router - but the transmissions the Mac sends (and it sends a lot) are not responded.
A friend of mine, a system guy, who tried to check this, said that the Mac's transmissions don't even look like "b" transmission - they are longer (or something of that sort).
The thing is: If I knew a way to enter the wireless card driver configuration, it probably would solve it. and I don't mean through the system preferences - there's nothing serious there.
On a PC it is so easy: you simply tell the card to work in a b/g mode, rather then a g only mode.

How to connect SPT 1700 to 802.11b network?

I know this is an old (obsolete by most standards) device, but still...
The ads for it that I have seen, claim that it is wireless capable with 802.11b abilities. I have looked through it, but I couldn't figure out how to set it up to access a wireless network.
Can someone, first of all, either confirm or deny the claim that it is 802.11b capable and, if so, how do I set it up?
Thanks...

Thanks Daniel,
I'll try the suggestion asap!

Photosmart C7250 wireless 802.11b fails

My new C7250 works well with USB and wired ethernet, but fails miserably (prints slowly, if at all) on my wireless 802.11b network. All other devices work well on my wireless network. I've spent many hours with HP and exhausted their first line support. They supposedly have opened a case but I have heard nothing in a week. Meanwhile, I took a network trace using WireShark and it shows a large number of retransmissions. (I'm expert with application/network performance profiling.) All you have to do is browse to http://192.168.1.xxx/ to test transmission -- don't even need to install drivers or printers to see the errors. This problem appears to be with wireless support on the C7250.
Has anyone experienced problems or success with 802.11b on this device? How about 802.11g? I would be willing to upgrade my wireless if I knew that it would resolve the problem.
What does it take to escalate a probem with HP for resolution?

All 2004 and newer wireless HP Inkjet printers are compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b networks (otherwise we couldn't get 802.11g Wi-Fi certification). Besides testing for interoperability, we test for a minimum wireless throughput at the TCP layer.
I'd like to see the internal connectivity report that you can generate by pressing the <setup> and <#> buttons simultaneously. Scan the report to a memory card, copy it to your PC and post the image here.
It will tell me information about your wireless network and other networks in the area.
I have a couple of other questions:
Does the slow printing go away after a power cycling the printer and then does it return later?
Does the slow printing go away after a power cycling the wireless-router and then does it return later?
Are you seeing retransmissions of TCP, 802.3 (ethernet) frames or 802.11 frames? I wasn't sure at what layer you are sniffing the data at?
What make and model 802.11b wireless-router are you using?
Do you have encryption enabled? Does disabling encryption change the speed of printing?
How many wireless PC's (Macs?) to you have on your network? Do they all exhibit slow printing?
Have you changed the default fragmentation settings of your wireless-router?
At home, I routinely get 1.5 Mbytes/sec transfer rates between my 802.11g wireless-routers and my HP printers and about 700 Kbytes/sec in 802.11b mode.
One other thing you can try is to go to the printers internal web page, browse over to the Networking, Wireless, Advanced page and enable the configuration "In an infrastructure network use 802.11b behavior".

Disabling 802.11b, what issues to coverage?

Hi All
I want to soon disable 802.11b support on our AP 1231 with B/G cards. I want this because I don't like to have 802.11b clients connecting and taking down the speed.
The question now is, how would our signal coverage change if I put 'power local cck 1' on the device?
Or I would only allow theese rates:
6.0 9.0 12.0 18.0 24.0 36.0 48.0 54.0 which are only supported by 802.11g cards.
Would that change the signal range a lot? Or do you have better ideas to disable 802.11b support?
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Here is some info related to disabling 802.11b;
Q. How can I set the AP so that only IEEE 802.11g clients can connect? I do not want the IEEE 802.11b clients to connect and slow down the wireless network. There is a second, parallel 802.11b network for unsecured clients.
A. In order for the AP to receive only 802.11g clients, complete these steps in the GUI:
Go to the Network Interfaces section and click Radio 0-802.11G.
Click the Settings tab at the top of the Radio 0-802.11G window.
Choose Disable for these data rates:
1.0
2.0
5.5
11.0
Choose Require for all the other data rates. These other data rates are:
6.0
9.0
12.0
18.0
24.0
36.0
48.0
54.0
Click Apply at the bottom of the window.
From this good doc;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps430/products_qanda_item09186a008009483e.shtml
As for coverage; A fundamental rule is that as data rates increase, range decreases. 802.11b uses DSSS to support data rates of 11, 5.5, 2, and 1 Mbps each, with correspondingly longer ranges as the data rates decrease. 802.11g uses OFDM to support data rates of 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, and 6 Mbps each, with correspondingly longer ranges as the data rates decrease. The higher data rates supported by 802.11g result in shorter range than the range supported by the maximum 802.11b data rate. Still, OFDM is a more efficient means of transmission than is DSSS, meaning that at a given range, higher OFDM-based data rates will be supported than DSSS-based data rates (all other things being held constant). That being said your range difference should not be too drastic
From this superior Cisco doc (Have a look at Table 4 for some good Range approximations);

Airport card 802.11b sees other networks but NOT my network!

Hi. Having a very strange tech issue today...
I have a 1ghz ti-book that no longer wants to connect or even SEE my home network after waking up from sleep. Up until today there has never been an issue. My home network is distributed via a Netgear 802.11b and g wireless router. Again, I have never ever had any issue whatsoever connecting to my network. WEP is enabled. There are also 6 other computers all connecting to the same network via wireless too. No problems.
The crazy thing is I know the card is still functioning properly because I can still see all the other available networks around in my area. Even when I place the ti-book RIGHT NEXT to the antenna on the netgear router, it refuses to acknowledge that it is there. Meanwhile, it is showing all of my neighbors networks just fine!
The only variable in this equation is that the hinge of the display is damaged, such that it won't stay open "by itself". The display normally has to be propped up against something. The machine works fine otherwise, no issues. The weak bezel breaking is an issue that many ti-book owners faced and it has been broken for a LONG time with no performance issues at all. The only thing I can think of is that maybe the wire to the antenna for the Airport card goes up the side of the display and somehow the wire is damaged or frayed. I don't know if this is how the ti-book was designed....does anyone know? Specifically, if the wire for the airport card runs along inside the case of the display on the 15 inch 1ghz ti-book?
If it does not...and it seems like it is not hardware damage to the cable because how else could I still be getting other networks but not my own...then I am stumped as to how to trick my machine into recognizing the network again. I have done the basic things such as booting into single user mode and rebuilding my index, logging in as root and other users to see if the preferences were corrupt, and even installing a bunch of wifi wardriving apps to force recognition of my network and still nothing!
Again the machine is right next to the access point, so what is causing it to no longer "see" it? I also updated the firmware in the router and checked configurations but no changes have been made and all the other machines work fine. Also it has NEVER done this before so I don't know how to troubleshoot it!
*What would cause an airport card to reject the signal that it is configured to connect to? How should I go about getting it to see the network again...without reconfiguring the network which would mean having to update all the other machines, etc.* I have macstumbler and istumble running and they see PLENTY of networks except for the closest one. It is so bizarre. It was working when I went to bed and now today, no network. I have rebooted numerous times, etc.
please help!! i need some ideas!!!
thanks!

a somewhat in depth search across the interwebs has lead me to the conclusion that this problem is also affecting Leopard users as well. (I am on old hardware and running the latest Tiger) To be honest, I can not remember if there was an Apple update right before this problem started to happen. However, it seems real enough and many users out there are having problems re-connecting to their home/work networks after waking from sleep.
just to clarify:
Using a ti-book with normal airport card installed (b not g)
Connected to a Netgear wireless router (configured to manage both b and g traffic)
WEP 64bit encryption key is being used for network
No problems whatsoever until a few days ago
what works:
unplugging the power to the Netgear router (cycling power)
what doesn't work:
waking from sleep
restarting
manually entering network name and password
using 3rd party apps to find network
resetting/deleting Network location preferences and creating new one
deleting AppleAirPort2.kext from /System/Library/Extensions/
using either Diagnostic or Assistant mode to reconnect from scratch
it should NOT be this difficult to solve a networking issue. what is going on here?

Adding 802.11b/g AX(s) to multi-Airport Extreme 802.11n roaming network

First, a thanks to folks like Tesserax and Bob for the great ideas on this forum -- the questions & answers I've read have helped me to date, though I still have a question!
My home wireless network today consists of:
One fifth-generation AEBS running in 802.11n only (5 GHz) / 802.11n only (2.4 GHz) mode, on channels 149 (automatic)/11 (automatic) -- provides DHCP services
One second-generation AEBS running in 802.11n only (5 GHz) mode, on channel 157 (automatic) -- bridge mode
There is a wired home network with Cat5e and a gigabit switch in the basement. 30 down/5 up DOCSIS 3.0 service through Time Warner Cable, upstream from the fifth-gen AEBS. The AEBS units are connected in roaming mode via Ethernet.
Using the Airport Utility on my iOS devices, I'm getting "excellent" (59-65 Mb/s) connectivity when I am near either of the AEBS units. It is a large brick house built in the 1920s, and while there are now no dead zones in the house, there are areas where I drop down to 10-15 Mb/s per the Airport Utility. Unfortunately, the two AEBSs are at opposite ends of the house near external walls, one on first floor and one on second -- and the first floor rear AEBS needs to be where it is to serve a breakfast room and sunroom, while the home office AEBS needs to be where I have two Ethernet drops as the cable modem and switch are in the basement.
Before I added the fifth-gen AEBS, I had the older AEBS and two 802.11b/g Airport Express (AX) devices, also in roaming mode. I wasn't thrilled with performance, and while performance is much better with the two AEBS model, I'm wondering about the benefits of redeploying my AX devices elsewhere in the house on the roaming network -- on the theory that I should be getting better 802.11g performance from a device close enough to get max speeds than I am from a farther-away 802.11n AEBS.
However, I am concerned about whether adding back in 802.11b/g devices on 2.4 GHz would restrict the performance of my 802.11n network? I am assuming that might happen because I have 802.11n running on both frequencies... if I stepped back on the fifth-gen AEBS to 802.11n only (5 GHz) / 802.11b/g [or a similar setting] on that device, will that help? Or, am I running the risk of other cross-talk or interference -- or simply of my home network devices being befuddled by multiple access points in a single house?
Alternatively, I could try to replace my 802.11b/g AX units with 802.11n ones -- howeever, having just bought a new AEBS this week, that would encounter cross-talk with my Spousal Budgetary Compliance Unit (SBCU) and I could end up crashing the entire household....
Thoughts and ideas appreciated!

If you use the "b/g" AirPort Express devices in a roaming setup, any computers, iPads, etc in close proximity will connect at maximum "g" wireless speeds.
It's really not possible to predict the actual results in advance. The increased wireless coverage might tend to compensate for the lower speeds that would naturally occur due to signal drop off if you did not use the AirPort Express devices at all.
As long as the wireless access points are in a separate room, or separated by 25-30 feet or so from other access points, there should be no confusion that occurs with your laptop trying to connect. It will pick the strongest signal as it moves through the house.
I think the bottom line here is that this is one of those things where you just will not know unless you try. If the Ethernet cabling is already in place, it should not take long for you to find out how things are working.

Time Capsule (SIM) expand network with 802.11b/g Airport Extreme

Hi, I try to expand a Airport-Network which is set up with a Time Capsule (SIM (latest model). I like to use an Airport-Extreme-Basestation to expand the network. The two devices will be connected wireless. In the helpfile there is a explantation how to do this with 802.11n-devices but when it comes to the 802.11b/g-devices it just says I should have a look on the apple support-pages. I do not find anything there.
I tried everything, but it did not work. I've had a Time Capsule (first model) which died some days ago (the well known powersupply problem). With this Time Capsule I did not had any problems to set up a WDS.
What to do?

try these steps provided by Tesserax:
Setting Up Time Capsule as a Second Wireless Router
802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station -> 802.11n Time Capsule
With "mixed" AirPorts, you will need to configure both routers into a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Your neighbor's AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) will be the main and your Time Capsule (TC) will be the remote base station in this WDS.
To simplify setup, you should connect your TC directly to the AirPort's LAN port by Ethernet. Once the WDS is configured, you can disconnect the TC and place it at the desired location.
The following are the basic configuration steps to create a WDS:
(Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, jot down the AirPort IDs (MAC addresses) for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS. The AirPort ID and is printed on the label on the bottom/side of the base station.)
Main Base Station Setup - AEBS
o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as the main base station.
o Open AirPort Utility (located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
o Select the main base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base
Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window.
o Enter the base station password if necessary. If the base station is using the
default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
o Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
o Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
o Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computer to connect to this base station.
o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of the base station you want to connect to this base station.
o Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
Remote Base Station Setup - TC
o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as a remote base station.
o Open AirPort Utility (in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
o Select the remote base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
o Enter the base station password, if necessary. If the base station is using the default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
o Enter the same network password as the main base station, if necessary.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
o Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
o Enter the AirPort ID of the main base station in the WDS Main field.
o Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.
(ref: Pages 42-46 of "Designing AirPort Networks.)
802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station -> 802.11n Time Capsule
o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.
does this fix it for you ?

Connecting 802.11b/g devices to an 802.11n AirPort network

I have a Time Capsule with an iMac and a MacBook connected to it. I want to add a Windows laptop to the setup, but it only has 802.11 b/g networking built in. As I understand it, adding an 802.11b or g device to an 802.11n network will slow the network down to the speed of the slower b or g device. What kind of 802.11n device, that is compatible with the AirPort (Broadcom?) chipset, should I get to connect this computer to the network? (The PC does not have a card slot.)
Would an AirPort Express work in WDS mode, with its Ethernet port connected to the laptop's Ethernet port?

As I understand it, adding an 802.11b or g device to an 802.11n network will slow the network down to the speed of the slower b or g device.
Not quite all the way down to 802.11b or g, but there will be a bandwidth degradation for 802.11n clients.
What kind of 802.11n device, that is compatible with the AirPort (Broadcom?) chipset, should I get to connect this computer to the network?
A number of vendors, specializing in networking equipment, offer 802.11n USB wireless adapters. I have used a number of Cisco/Linksys products that work just fine with AirPort networking.
Would an AirPort Express work in WDS mode, with its Ethernet port connected to the laptop's Ethernet port?
If this AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is a 802.11b/g version, then it would have the same affect as any other 802.11b/g client. In fact, in a WDS, the network will only operate in the 802.11g mode, so you really don't to go that route either. Another option, would be to use a newer 802.11n AX; reconfigure it as a ProxySTA, and use its Ethernet port for the connection to the PC.

Extending home wireless network with 802.11b/g Airport Expresses

Home Setup: iMac with iSight G5 2.1GHz PPC, OS X Leopard 10.5.8, 2.5GB memory, 2 Airport expresses-802.11b/g.
Up to just recently, I was able to use my AE's to create a whole house wireless network: one as my main network connected to my cable modem, and the other as a wireless network extender. My extender got pulled out one day accidentally, and when I went to plug it in it wouldn't reconnect to my network...and so the problems began. Airport Utility used to give the option of "Extending the Wireless Network", but no more.
I've done a lot of searching through the forums regarding this issue, read through the sage advice by superusers Tesserax and Bob Timmons, and attempted to set up my main AE as my "WDS Main" AE and the other as my "WDS Remote". The WDS main connects fine to the internet, but the WDS remote continues to show a flashing amber light and inability to extend my wireless network. I've done soft and hard resets to the remote AE (which transiently gives me a green light, then back to flashing amber), network diagnostics using the Airport utility, but still no luck. The AE wireless extender continues to flash amber and is nonfunctional.
AE Wireless extender settings reported:
-WIreless Mode: Create a wireless network
-Connect using: Ethernet
AE Errors reported:
-Ethernet Unplugged
-Default Settings
I setup the AE Wireless extender as a WDS Remote, it resets and shows "Normal" without problems reported in the summary window of Airport Utility. Connection indicated as "Airport (WDS)" and Wireless Mode reads "participate in a WDS network", but the AE is still flashing amber and will not connect to the internet or Main WDS wireless network.
Went to the Genius Bar at the local mac store...they couldn't help at all.
I'm out of answers...help?!
Allan

There are basically two "flavors" of WDS that the AirPorts support: static & dynamic.
o A static WDS allows for a main, relay, and remote base stations in the configuration. This only operates in the 802.11g radio mode. Its advantage is it is well suited when you are trying to cover a considerable linear range ... like a rectangular house where the Internet connection comes in at one of the shorter sides and you want wireless at the other end. The biggest disadvantage of this type of WDS is that for every base station added, you lose half the overall bandwidth.
o A dynamic WDS allows for only a single main and multiple remotes. Think of a wheel with the main at the center and the remotes as spokes of the wheel. The advantage of this type of WDS is it operates in the 802.11n radio mode and doesn't suffer a significant bandwidth loss like the static version.
As a minimum, a dynamic WDS requires two 802.11n AirPorts (or Time Capsules). You can create a static WDS with either all 802.11g AirPorts or a mix of 802.11n & 802.11g AirPorts. Note; however, you cannot create a dynamic WDS with mixed mode base stations.

Network Manager and 802.1x

I dont have a problem with this I just would like to know where network manager stores the config files that contain the SSIDs.
My problem is that Im trying to connect my motorola droid that is running a custom froyo rom to my Universitites secured Wifi since its a pain in the butt to keep logging in every time on my droid. Whats really bugging me is that my friend has a nexus one running the same rom and he can connect to it but I cant!
I figured I'd rip the settings from wpa_supplicant.conf and copy it to my droid but I'm not using wpa_supplicant on arch :-/

Network Manager fails to detect unsecured network.

My current laptop uses a clean install of Arch Linux with the latest gnome-shell release. NetworkManager has no problem connecting to the wireless networks at home, but the problem I have is at college.
My college has an open wireless network; sometimes it fails to show in network-manager-applet. That's the first problem. The second problem, If it does show, it'll fail to connect. In order for me to connect, I had to install the iw package and type sudo iw eth1 connect <network-name> after it fails. Only then will it connect.
How do I fix this so that NetworkManager will stop acting up?
Here's the wireless adapter installed and the driver it's using. (I use AUR's broadcom-wl package because it can detect more networks and doesn't act up for me.)

Maybe it is a "mixed interface issue", if that's the case, then you should read this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ud … ork_device
Hope it helps.

Dell Axim X5 Pocket PC compatibility with Belkin 802.11b PDA card

Hello,
I was recently given a Dell Axim X5 Pocket PC and I'm trying to sync it to my IMAC using my internet connection. I'm running OS X 10.3. Dell's website stipulates that the compact flash card that I need is an 802.11b model. I purchased a Belkin 802.11b Wireless PDA Network Card to satisfy this stipulation, but upon investigation of the software I find that I need to be running at least Windows 98 with Window CE embedded. Is there anyway of me getting around this with my MAC???? To further complicate matters, when I attach the pocket pc to my USB port it isn't even recognized. Is this because it's a Windows device??? Is there any work-around for this?????
Thanks

Prakash,
Thanks for contacting National Instruments. According to hp's website, the 2490 does have a type II slot. Also, if you look at the datasheet for the CF-6004 it states that it is a Type II card. Let us know if you have anymore questions.
