802.11n (CISCO?) client adapter

Hello,
after the release of the 1250AP, I was wondering if the 802.11n compatible client adapters were planed or close to release, and if anyone had an information about that.
I was also wondering if this AP had any particular CISCO features (like there was in some previous versions) that could require such an adapter to work properly?
Regards,
Laurent

Cisco's 1250 series APs have been selected as the test hardware for all 802.11n Draft 2.0 client adapters. That means that for any Draft 2.0 compliant hardware to be certified, it must inter-operate with the 1250 series AP. There are some additional features that Cisco makes availible to client adapters (CCX, for example), but any Draft 2.0 certified client adapter should work with the 1250 without any problem, regardless of CCX version support.
Below is from the Cisco Aironet 1250 Series Access Point Q&A:
Q. What is the status of the Draft 802.11n version 2.0 standard?
A. The IEEE 802.11n working group has passed letter ballot, and this is what is known as 802.11 Draft 2.0. Subsequently, the Wi-Fi Alliance commenced compatibility testing in June 2007 to ensure interoperability of products adhering to the 802.11n draft 2.0 standard. The Cisco Aironet 1250 Series Access Point was selected as the reference platform for the Wi-Fi Alliance test bed. All products receiving Wi-Fi Alliance draft 2.0 certification must be tested with the Cisco Aironet 1250 Series Access Point.

  • Airport express (802.11n) in client mode: works fine but problem

    Hi,
    I use the airport express in client mode on my existing wireless network (router netgear dg834n and macbook pro).
    The client mode works fine: I have connected it to my existing network with WPA2 security system and also mac adress filtering in the router.
    I also have connected the Airport express via ethernet to my satellite receiver and it is always connected without interruption, and always green.
    BUT
    i always lose the possibility to use airtunes. I mean: When I go to itunes or if I try to connect to the airport interface, I can't. I have to plug it off from electricity, and plug it on again, wait the connection, and I can have access and use itunes. Then, If my Mac goes into sleep mode and then wake up again, I lose the airtunes connection and the connection to the interface. Meanwhile, the light is still green and my sat receiver connected.
    Please help me!
    Thanks

    Instead of using WDS, you should take advantage of the "Allow this network to be extended" option that is available for the 802.11n AirPorts including the TC. WDS only operates in the 802.11g radio mode.
    Here's the basic setup:
    o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
    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.

  • New Airport Extreme 802.11n Universal Power Adapter?

    I travel a lot and need to use the AirPort Extreme both in the US and Europe. Can anyone who has it already tell me if it says on the bottom of the power adapter 100-240V, 50-60Hz before I buy one? It is not specified anywhere else on-line.
    Airport Extreme 802.11n MA073LL/A
    Thank you
    iMac G5, iBook Dual USB   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    This is what's on the power supply.
    AC 100-240V 56-60 Hz 0.5A OUTPUT 12V --- 1.8A
    But don't you think the Airport Express would make a better travel router? After all that's what it's designed for.

  • 802.11n for PowerMac G5?

    Is there a way to get 802.11n capability in a PowerMac G5 tower with external antenna port? I know how to get "g" but would prefer "n."

    Not with the external antenna port, but you could use a 802.11n wireless USB adapter instead. One example of this kind of adapter would be the Newer Technology MAX Power 802.11n/g/b Wireless USB 2.0 Stick Adapter & Extension Cradle.

  • Satellite Pro A200-16YT - Wireless adapter card upgrade to 802.11n

    Satellite Pro is A200-16YT (PSAE1E) with Windows XP Professional SP3.
    I have been trying to increase my existing 54 Mb/s wireless network speed by replacing the existing Atheros AR5007-EG 802.11a/b/g with the faster 802.11n adapter.
    The Atheros driver is v9.2.0.439 (04/08/2011) which I believe is the latest. I have tried to install an Azurewave AR5BXB72 (Atheros AR5008) as a replacement, but with no success. As well as trying the standard Windows Wireless set-up, I have used the Atheros Client Utility (ACU) which confirms that the card and driver are installed and enabled, but the radio does not switch on, so no there is no association/connection with any wireless network!
    Reinstalling the original AR5007 works without any problems. If anyone has experienced similar problems and/or can offer a solution, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Thank you MasterG.
    I followed the link you posted and you were correct in suggesting that a WLAN card pin assignment was an issue.
    On older cards, (before Revision 1.2 of the PCI Express Mini Card Electromechanical Specification), *Pin 20* was +'reserved for future wireless disable signal (if needed)'+, so presumably on my Toshiba Satellite A200, disabling the old AR2007 card was handled by the system software and the Wireless ON/OFF switch.
    On the newer adapter cards, Pin 20 is assigned to a *W_DISABLE#* signal which, when low, will disable the radio.
    As suggested by other posts, masking Pin 20 on the AR5008 card has prevented the radio from being disabled, and the only small problem with this is the radio can no longer be switched off with the Wireless ON/OFF switch (or with Function+F8).
    However, the wireless speed is now 144.4Mbps, enabling BT Infinity broadband download speeds in excess of 30Mbps.
    Your assistance is very much appreciated.

  • 802.11n client distribution across 2.4 and 5.0 radios?

    What is the recommended way to ensure 802.11n clients are evenly split between 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz frequencies?
    We're using 4404 controllers with WCS and Cisco 3502i AP's.
    Thanks,
    Rob

    What is the recommended way to ensure 802.11n clients are evenly split between 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz frequencies?
    The "best" way is to configure the clients to associate to the correct radio of your choice.  Doing this will cause issues in the near future.  For example, you have configured a client to associate to the "a" radio.  However, if the client goes beyond the "a" radio range ...
    The "easiest" way is to let the client/wireless NIC make the decision themselves.

  • Cisco 802.11n Outdoor Access Point

    I have to propose to a client a 802.11n outdoor Acess point with external antenna, tha gain must be >8 dbi.
    Which cisco model should i use ?

    I have to propose to a client a 802.11n outdoor Acess point with external antenna, tha gain must be >8 dbi.
    DO NOT, under any circumstances, use 1260 or 3500e if you plan to use antennas > 6 dBi.  These two models DO NOT SUPPORT antenna gain higher than 6 dBi.  The only two 802.11n-capable WAP that can support high-gain antenna of > 6 dBi are the 1250 and the 3500p.
    Antenna Product Portfolio for Cisco Aironet 802.11n Access Points
    The 1250 is End-of-Sale (End-of-Sale Date:  12 January 2012) and requires 20.0w of PoE.  The 1250 can support antenna gain > 6 dBi.
    The 3500p was released around mid-2011 because people were howling/screaming about the lack of high-gain antenna support, thus the 3500p was developed alongside the AIR-ANT25137NP-R.
    Cisco recommends that the installation of the AIR-ANT25137NP-R should be done with proper sight-survey.

  • Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter not working on Windows 7 64bit

    As the title suggests, my laptop (Alienware m17x) is installed with the Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter and Windows 7 64bit Home Premium.  I have had several other driver incompatibility issues with Windows 7, but those I have slowly been able to resolve.  This however just cropped up after two months of successful use.  Yesterday it started failing to connect to the internet, telling me that no wireless connections are available.  I live in a dorm, and everyone else on my floor has successful wireless, including my Ipod Touch, PS3 and XBox 360.  I called Alienware/Dell Support and we spent hours trying to fix the problem and all look well until I rebooted my laptop this morning and the same issue reappeared.  When I reboot my laptop, all I get is a notification that no networks appear in range.  If I uninstall the broadcom chip and let windows install it after a boot up it works until the machine is rebooted a second time.  I have tried over a dozen windows 7 drivers for the chip, and about half a dozen vista drivers and they all have the same results, works on the first boot, fails every time after that 

    Just registered to say, on an Alienware M17x system as well running Windows 7 Ultimate, here is a link to a solution that worked exactly for me:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware/436486-guide-properly-solve-wireless-connection-problems-m17x.html
    All I did was section I.a. If the link is down, I copied the only section that I needed to follow out of this guide, in order to get my wireless to work repeatedly without having to uninstall the wireless driver every single reboot. Now it works perfectly,
    already connected to a wireless network on startup.
    I.a. Disable Device sleep on disconnect
    Some newer Nvidia Ethernet drivers have a feature called Device sleep on disconnect. This is the culprit. Normally, it should only put the Ethernet adapter to sleep when the cable is disconnected, but it's buggy and thus kills the wireless connection as
    well.
    Follow these steps to disable this feature on your Nvidia Ethernet Adapter:
    1. Open the Windows Device Manager by hitting Win+Pause, then click on Device Manager on the left side.
    2. Double-click on Network adapters.
    3. Double-click on NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller (yes, that's the wired Ethernet adapter indeed).
    4. Click on the Advanced tab.
    5. Select Device sleep on disconnect.
    6. Set the Value to Disabled. 
    7. Click OK and wireless should work again (might require a reboot afterwards, but probably not).

    What is the exact model of the Xfinity modem that you have? Is the new AirPort Express connected directly to this modem by Ethernet?
    By "remote client airports" do you mean additional AirPort base stations or Apple computers?

  • Cisco Aironet AIR-SAP2602I-E-K9 WAP -ERROR: VLAN 1000 doesn't exist on 'Radio1-802.11N 5GHZ' (see Services VLAN)

    Hey guys,
    I'm configuring my access points with two SSID's through the GUI. The first is a corporate SSID and the second a guest SSID. The corporate SSID needs to be attached to native VLAN 1000. The guest SSID needs to be attached to VLAN 1234. Both SSID's / VLAN's are to use WPAv2 AES CCMP with a PSK. Although I'm getting an error message indicating that my VLAN's don't exist on ‘Radio1-802.11N 5GHZ’ .  Here are steps I take from start to error...
    Create SSID’s with no security. CORP not to broadcast. Set CORP to use native VLAN 1000. Set guest to use VLAN1234.
    Within security encryption manager > Set encryption mode cipher to AES CCMP on both VLAN 1000 and VLAN1234.
    Within services > VLAN check that both VLAN’s have Radio0-802.11N 2.4GHZ and Radio1-802.11N 5GHZ selected. They do.
    Within Security > SSID Manager – set client authenticated key management to mandatory, enable WPA – WPAv2. Set pre-shared key. Hit apply > “ERROR: VLAN 1000 doesn’t exist on ‘Radio1-802.11N 5GHZ’ (see Services > VLAN).
    I get the same error for both SSID’s. Radio1-802.11N 5GHZ is "checked" against both VLAN's. Am I missing something? Both Radio0-802.11N 2.4GHZ and Radio1-802.11N 5GHZ are enable interfaces and are "up".
    I'm pretty customed to switch and router IOS although have absolutely no exposure to WAP CLI.
    Any assistance appreciated.

    I've resolved this myself. The GUI is basically terrible and very buggy. I used the CLI and was able to add WPA through the CLI.

  • Can I use an airport express to extend a Cisco E4200 802.11n or 802.11g wireless network?

    Can I use an Airport Express to extend a Cisco E4200 802.11n or 802.11g wireless network?  I'd like to improve access in a dead spot with an airport express. I know I can connect this wayt for airplay, but how about extending the signal?
    Thx! ACB

    Apple's "extend a wireless network" function appears to be a proprietary feature that works only with other Apple AirPort routers. As far as we know, this feature is not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.
    It would be extremely unlikely that the Express could do what you want, but some things are never known until  you try.

  • I need 802.11n PCI card or USB adapter

  • Airport Express 802.11n and 802.11g clients?

    Hi,
    I hope this is the right place to ask this question.
    Setup:
    1. At this time I have a main AE 802.11g base for wireless surfing.
    2. I have a second AE 802.11g connected to the hi-fi system. This second AE station is connceted as a client into the wireless network of the main AE base.
    Question: could I keep this setup after replacing 1. with an AE 802.11n base (and keep the AE 802.11g client for streaming)?
    Thanks you,
    Andre

    I would still have one more question.
    Are theses assumptions correct?
    1. If the AE 802.11g client is switched off, the network will work at full speed (802.11n)
    2. Turning on the AE 802.11g client would slow down the network at 802.11g level
    3. switching the AE 802.11g client off again would lead to a recovery to full speed 802.11n
    I am asking this because I do the music streaming only occasionally, must of the time I am using my MBP for work,
    Thank you,
    Andre

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n with Nortel VPN client

    Hello,
    Has anyone had any experience using the Airport Extreme 802.11n) with a PC (sorry, I have both a PC and a Mac)running the Nortel VPN client?
    The new router works perfectly with the Mac but I also need to use the VPN on the PC for certain functions in my work. On my previous router (Dlink DIR625), I had to set a dedicated virtual tunnel to port 9550 to solve this issue. I think this might still be true for the Airport Extreme but I don't see how to do it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I had the same problem and an apple apple care tech walked me through it yeterday.
    Call them, they were great.
