Access Point - AIR-AP1231G-A-K9 - PCs can connect but Apple Macs Cannot ...

Hello,
This is a sort of follow up to a post I made a few days ago. I made changes to my access points and on Windows computers everything works but on Apple products (Macs, iPads, iPhones) the strangest things happen.
(1). About 90% of the time nothing works in that we get NO connection to the Access Point. In the client association logs we see the Mac Address show up but there is a 0.0.0 address where it seems like the device is trying to get an DHCP lease. After a while, the device gets the IPPA address of 169.X.X.X.
(2) After a extended period of time (an hour or more) the Apple device eventually gets an IP address from the network and then is able to successfully connect to the network. However, the connection is short lived and drops after about 30 minutes to an hour.
Is there a problem with the way Apple products encapsulates their network traffic versus Windows or other products?
Again, this not affect any Windows or Andriod based devices (laptops, phones, etc.) They can connect right away and never drop out.
Below is the configuration file for the AP in question, although this is affecting all of our APs:

For initial configuration you can access AP from the Console port.
Following are the guides you need to look at for configuring you 1600 AP :
Cisco Aironet 1600/2600/3600 Series Access Point Deployment Guide
Getting Started Guide: Cisco Aironet 1600 Series Access Points
Moreover you can check the configuration guide from cisco.com/google, based on the Actual software image your AP is running. Some of the newer IOS for AP you can check here.

  • QoS for voice over access point AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9

    Necesito saber si en el access point AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9 se puede configurar QoS para trafico de voz. El cliente tiene 5 laptops en las cuales tiene instalado softphones ( software de telefono IP). Desde una laptop se genera trafico de datos y voz. Gracias.

    Julio,
         Yes, you can do QoS on an IOS AP.  The below link describes how you configure it.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/wireless/access_point/12.4_21a_JA1/configuration/guide/scg12421aJA1-chap15-qos.html
    Keep in mind, that with a softphone, or even dual-band cell phones, the applicaiton has to be able to mark it's traffic appropriatly, for the QoS to work as it should.

  • User unable to connect to new access point AIR-CAP3502P-S-K9

    Hi Guys,
              In my branch there are 8 access points[ AIR-CAP3502I-S-K9 ] connected to Wireless controller which is been working fine since the beginning.. I had to add two more access points to this branch and after the failure, i realised this Access point [ AIR-CAP3502P-S-K9 ] is latest and it needs the minimum image 7.3.101.. So i did a upgrade on WLC 5508 and all 10 access points have joined successfully...
    Issue am facing is when NEW users come under AP 9 and AP 10 get associated successfully, but the old users(Projetc Manager) who been in the branch for very long and able to get associated with other AP's [1 to 8] gets associated successfully with all old AP's but not with the new AP's..
    Could please some one advise, why this strange behaviour... I googled for answer but am not getting any right solution...

    Do you have AP Groups configured? 
    The old wireless clients, are their drivers up to date?

  • Can only connect to Linksys E4200 when very close but PCs can connect at 50 feet. What's the solution?

    Can only connect to Linksys E4200 when very close but PCs can connect at 50 feet. What's the solution?

    If you're technically comfortable in getting to your Linksys settings - try changing the network mode or channel in your router's settings.
    I still use my old Linksys router and when it's set to the default channel, which is 7, my Macbook Pro and Macbook Air sometimes have issues - changed the channel to 9 and have had no issues since.
    Maybe it might work for you.
    In any event - screenshots below are for your E4200 and play with those settings and see if any of the changes you've made improves how your Macbook connects.  Before you change any settings, just remember what the old settings are in case you need to go back to your old settings.
    Good luck.

    There is another option if the Macbook will start up in Target Disk Mode.
    Restart the computer while holding down the T key. If you see the firewire symbol moving around on the screen you can connect this one to another one in TDM. You will need a suitable cable to connect the two Macs.

  • How many pcs can connect to hub at same time

    how many pcs can connect to hub  at same time, I have looked everywhere and if you know where did u find the answer,  many thanks

    Most routers specs I've seen have a theoretical maximum of 256, but obviously due to practical performance issues would likely limited to less than 20.
    As said, usually more than a home user would need.

  • Access Point [AIR-AP35xE2R] Antenna Extension

    We are looking at the possibility of using a single Access Point 350 Series to support two different rooms. (One antenna in each room)
    How far can the antennas be extended from the access point on the AIR-AP35xE2R product?
    Is there a specific cable required to do this extension?
    Thanks.

    Blue.Modal is correct. Do NOT use an antenna in each room connected to each connector. Diversity does not work that way.
    If the run is short, consider using LMR-400 cable. Cable loss in the RG-58 or LMR-200 will start to affect you. You loose half of your power (3dB loss) in 20 feet with LMR-200.
    My actual preference is to use LMR-600, since it does not cost that much more. LMR-400 looses half your power in 50 ft and LMR-600 looses half in about 75 feet.
    Remember that there will be loss in each connector and a pigtail must be built/purchased to go from the RTNC connector on the AP to an 'N' type connector (typically) on the LMR-400/600. Also use an omni ceiling mount (or panel wall mount if appropriate) antenna with some gain.

  • What is the maximum number of Apple TVs (3rd gen) you can connect to 1 Mac running iTunes?

    I have one Mac with my digital library running iTunes 11 and seem to be having problems keeping Apple TVs connected (via home sharing) when I get up around 10 Apple TVs on the network.
    The Mac is running Mountain Lion with all software updates installed, iTunes 11, and the Apple TVs are all running 5.1.1 (the latest at this time).
    I am not asking how many computers can authorize via iTunes to use the same Apple ID - that answer is 5. I have read in multiple places that the number of devices (e.g. Apple TVs, iPods, iPads - not computers) that can sync content to an iTunes account is unlimited, but I don't think that's entirely true.
    I'd like to keep this conversation about the number of Apple TVs you can have home shared to a single Mac / iTunes library via home sharing.
    I am also not asking how many a network could support via concurrent streaming, etc. That's not relevant. We only use 1-3 Apple TVs at any given time simultaneously, and streaming simultaneously to as many as 3 Apple TVs hasn't ever been a problem.
    I recently upgraded all my Apple TVs in this house to generation 3 units - I have 12 of them in all, but once I connected about 10 of them I started having problems (at least I think it was 10).
    Does anyone know the official limitation (if there is one) ?
    The problem that I am having is that even though I have a great Wi-Fi N or wired gigabit connection at each Apple TV, and the correct home sharing Apple ID on each Apple TV and iTunes on the Mac, when I try to access "Computers" via the Apple TV menu, I get this error:
    Could not connect to "My Library": Make sure the computer is on the same network as your Apple TV, the iTunes version is up to date, and iTunes is running.
    Now if I restart iTunes, I can get the Apple TV I am currently troubleshooting to connect, but then if I go to a different Apple TV, it gives me the same error. Restarting Apple TVs doesn't fix it, only restarting iTunes seems to. But I can't seem to get multiple units to see the Library simultaneously.
    Thanks to anyone who provides help on this.

    Apple TV is by it self in a category.
    With Apple TV 1 the limit was 5 Apple clearly stated that. The reason? Probably because the Apple TV 1 had a hard drive and was able to store content locally (quite a bit actually). This would make it more in line with authorized devices.
    You authorized device limit is 5 but this does not pertain to home sharing again something different.
    When you play content from an Apple TV you are streaming from an authorized device and as long as you have the same iTunes account on that Apple TV as the iTunes you are connecting to you will be ok.
    Now to the error. I have also had this error and I had it on a network with only 1 Apple TV connected and it is since iTunes 11. It seems every time Apple updates iTunes it has a bad effect on Apple TV. So I would not relate this error to the number of Apple TV's you have, every time I get this error I restart the Apple TV and its fine again.
    On a side not I used to run MANY Apple TV's off my xserver. I had my families homes networked with VPN. I would prefer to not say how many but it was quite a few. biggest problem there was multicast over VPN....whole other story.

  • Can connect on one Mac but not other Mac, PC

    I just moved and I had no problem connecting my Powerbook,iMac, and PC with my Airport Express in my last house. I have the same cable provider (Charter) and can connect my Powerbook in my new house. However, I have a iMac too with an Airport card and my girlfriend has a PC and both can't connect to the AE. They both see it but can't connect to the internet. I had no problem in my last house with any of the 3. Can anyone help? thanks

    I don't mean to hijack, but I have very similar problems. My AE is flashing amber, but my 15"PB is online no problem. My roommates both have pcs, and neither can get internet from the AE, but they can connect and authenticate the WEP. When I choose to distribute using 192... (or the other number schemes) the internet stops for everyone, including my PB and the AE assigns an ip of 192.168.1.1 to itself (when working for PB:169:254:128:58). I am in San Diego, CA using Warner (I believe just a DHCP provider, no special instructions when they installed it 3 days ago)
    Thanks for any help, and hope this helps chris too

  • 2 powerbooks, 1 APE; one can connect, but the other can't

    I have two powerbooks and one Airport Express. One can connect to the APE, but the other can't. There were no problems earlier this evening, but it just stopped for some reason. Under "Internet Connect" it lists Aiport Power as "On", and it has no trouble finding the other computer when I turn on internet sharing, which leads me to believe that the airport card is working fine, but it seems to be a connection problem. Any ideas?
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    Does the PowerBook, having trouble connecting, able to connect to other Wi-Fi networks?
    If so, let's double-check your AirPort settings on the problematic device...
    System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
    - Verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "New" to create one. - Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
    - Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
    Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
    AirPort tab
    - By default, join: Automatic
    TCP/IP tab
    - Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    - Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
    Proxies tab
    - Configure Proxies: Manually
    - Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
    - Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
    - Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
    - Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)

  • My office jet pro l7590, prints from network router. one pc can connect but it remains "offline"

    OJ Pro L7590.  Connected to my network via router.  All Win 7 PC's.  One laptop connected wirelessly.  Constantly shows Printer Offline.
    I'm able to access the printer's web server from this PC.  (on the network)  It shows up as "ready" on the Device Information tab.  However from the PC's printers menu, it is showing up as offline.  When I go throught the HP Officejet Pro AiO "add a device" menu, it fails to connect in the very last step.  This has been extremely frustrating.
    It obviously "sees" the printer on the network.  Windows connect a printer will work, but yields same result.  Have latest full feature driver/software download.
    Print Doctor does not see any problem.  truly baffled.  Wife's PC and she is the heaviest print user in the house.  Son's apple Mac book printed wirelessly with no effort.  (I'm not even sure he did anything special to make it work.)

    Make sure you have only one securtity system on your PC (for example if you have an old version of McAfee that you just left on there and added another system), uninstal the old, unused security system.
    Go to Start > All Programs > HP > [your printer model] > Uninstall. Run it.
    Restart your PC.
    Download and install the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.
