Access point not detected

I have a Palm TX
My wifi works fine, it detects almost any wifi signal, but it wont detect wifi at my university. First time I used it there I could connect, but suddenly I lost connection and since then I don´t even detect the access points. With other devices I have no problem. Any idea what could be the problem?
Post relates to: Palm TX

The issue may have nothing to do with your device at all. I have a friend who has a WiFi router at their house that I can connect to with any other computer just fine, but my LifeDrive has always struggled. I tried changing all combinations of settings on the LifeDrive and even started changing some of the settings on their router to see what the problem was.
As it turns out, the issue was the mixed broadcast mode of the Linksys router. In the default mixed mode (which broadcasts B, G and N) the LifeDrive simply will not connect. If the mixed mode is reduced to just B and G the life Drive connects effortlessly and instantaneously.
So the moral of the story is: These older Palm devices simply do not connect well to certain routers and certain broadcast modes. And yet other routers offering the same mixed B, G and N broadcasts will connect just fine. In the places where you don't have access to be able to configure the routers that are making the broadcasts, you are probably SOL.

  • Access Points not overwritten when restoring a bac...

    Hi people,
    Seems like the new and still buggy firmware of the E70 has another problem.
    Before restoring a backup, if you do not remove the Access Point definitions (only operator Access Points, not Wi-Fi or others), the restore does not overwrite the definitions and makes new copies of the Access Points.
    That would be OK if we could remove the extra Access Points but we cannot. When you delete one of the copies, it seems like it is removed but its definition is still somewhere on the phone, so while "Connection Settings" program cannot see it, all programs that use Access Points can see it (but cannot use it because it is a stale record).
    Does anyone know where this info is stored so, if I forget to remove them before restoring a backup, I can remove them afterwards?

    Welcome to the many problems of the LAPAC1750. I finally gave up and went with Ubnt. Uptime is at 75 days now and would've been longer if not for a firmware update.
    The LAPAC had good range and worked well when it worked, but it's unstable to be marketed right now. Hopefully Linksys issues a firmware update to fix everything.

  • I have an airport extreme i am trying to add to an existing netowrk as an access point not as a router, any help is appreciated as i don't know much about networking.

    At my work we have a modem and router to network 8 different pc's- all hard wired. My boss wants me to add an airport extreme so that he can get wireless connection on mobile devices. when i plug in the airport it creates a new network and i need to be able to connect to the existing network and not have the routers compete. is there a way to make the airport an access point instead? maybe by adding it to the exisiting router instead of one of the workstations?

    When you introduced the AirPort Extreme, you had a condition where you have two routers in series. The simpliest solution is to reconfigure the downstream router (in this case the Extreme) as a bridge. This will allow the upstream router to provide the required NAT & DHCP services to all network clients regardless of which router they are connected to.
    To reconfigure the Extreme as a bridge, you will use the AirPort Utility. (Note: I will provide the steps for using AirPort Utility v5.x)
    AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort > Manual Setup
    Internet > Internet Connection tab > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)

  • Access Point  not visible in UMS server for Application using UMS adapter

    Email Driver Properties for email is configured in UMS and works fine which means its able to poll for any incoming Email from the Configured Account.
    Now i am builiding a soa Composite application and and using UMS adapter to receive that incoming mail and process it further.
    I have succesfully deployed that application in my soa server but it doesn't show any access point for that application.

    how to get that Access point configured for application ?
    Please Help.
    Thanks in Advance

    Thanks for the reply.
    I had readded the access points after phone reset, so they are available under internet destination but none of the apps are able to see them.
    I also saw 3-4 processes listed under panic tab in KillMe application, not sure if being inside panic tab means that the processes crashed, i hope it's not a hardware related problem.

  • Access point not work correctly

    Hello everybody, I have a problem in my BlackBerry Passport. I can't turn on "access point" function,this function not work. Does this function work in the future OS updates?
    P.S access point give your internet from the mobile network to your WiFi

    Hotspot does work on all versions of BlackBerry 10 OS and all BB10 models. It is, however, controlled by your carrier. If it won't turn on you have one of several possible problems:
    1) Your mobile data is off or not working.
    2) You need to have Hotspot provisioned on your account by your carrier.

  • AIR-CAP3501I access point not joining the Cisco 2100 Wireless Lan controller.

    Hello All,
    I am installing a new LAP (AIR-CAP3501I ) through the wireless lan controller (AIR-WLC2112-K9) with software version 7.0. I have an external ADSL modem which will act as the DHCP server for the wireless clients and the LAP.
    Please find my network setup as below:
    The ISP ADSL modem , WLC and LAP are connected to a unmanaged POE switch. The LAP gets its power through the POE switch. When i connect the LAP and the WLC to the switch along with the ADSL modem, the LAPs are getting the ip address from the ADSL modem, however they are not joining the WLC for further process.
    ADSL Modem ip address: 192.168.1.254
    Management ip address on the LAP: 192.168.1.1 ( Assigned to port 1, untagged Vlan).
    Ap Manager ip address: 192.168.1.1 ( Assigned to the same port i.e port1, Untagged Vlan).
    The LAP is getting an IP address from the ADSL modem in the range of the DHCP scope.
    I will paste the logs very soon.
    Please let me know if i am doing anything wrong oe what will be the issue.
    Thanks in advance,

    The Acess point joins the Controller for 2-3 seconds and then unjoins again. I am not sure what i am doing wrong here. The access points are getting the IPs from the ADSL modem through the switch, then it talks to the WLC, however it does not join the controller for further process.
    Note:
    The Managemnet interface and the AP manager interface are assigned to the same port 1 with unassigned Vlan as mention above.

  • Packet data access point not vail

    Hello,please i need help,any time i try to connect my phone my pc the responce is always packet data not avil. what should i do to get rid of the problem

    that will work. You only need to change if you need to have always on (highly unlikley) or if you are using modem dial up and need to specify access point for that.
    If you using Nokia One Touch access then you don't even need to define access point in this menu as that application will take care of it for you.
    All other network aware applications will use access point settings as defined in settings menu.

    Hi Niham,
    You can try few things to troubleshoot this -
    1. check the reachability of Radius server from your wlc (ping).
    2. verify the IP address of Raduis server configured on wlc.
    3. wlc in the Radius server ?
    4. Shared Secret must be same on wlc and in raduis server.
    Plz do not forget to rate useful post.

  • Access point not online on controller

    Hi,
    I have been trying to get a 1262AP registered to wireless lan controller.
    The core switch has three 2 vlans in it, management which is vlan 41 and AP interaction vlan which is vlan 51.
    Controller also has both these vlans.
    Vlan 41 - 192.168.40.x/23 ( management vlan)
    Vlan 61 - 192.168.61.x/24 (AP vlan)
    WLC management interface IP is 192.168.40.18
    WLC AP interface IP is 192.168.6.241
    Now , during the initial steps, the access points are attached to the switchports on vlan41, wherein they get the dhcp ip from the temporary pool created on the controller and get registered.
    But, these access points in actual environment needs to be on static ip address. When it's ip is changed to a static IP address from the controller , it fails to register to the controller. the switchport is put on vlan6 as access port , after  static ip is assigned to the access point.
    The error i receive is ;
    %CAPWAP-3-EVENTLOG: Could not resolve gateway. Not sending discovery request to 0.0.0.0, type 1
    the core switch we are using in this new setup is a 2960 with a lanbase image. I realised the switch is not routing enabled. it doesn't accept the command "ip routing". Will this be creating a problem for the access points? 
    From the switch , the controller management and AP vlan IP address can be pinged. similarly, from the controller, AP and management vlan interface ip address of the switch can be pinged.
    Please help.

    Did you get it to work?  The thing you have to understand is how the AP is able to join the WLC and the process the AP goes through to try to join.  Here is a document that will help you understand the process and the various ways an AP can join or find the WLC.  The easiest almost fool proof way is to place the ap in the same subnet as the management of the WLC.  If the AP joins, then the AP will know of the ip of that WLC it joined or any in the mobility group if defined.  Take a look at the doc as it explains it better than I can:)

  • Access Points Not Passing DHCP to Clients

    I have a 50+ access point deployment, all in a single VLAN (DMZ), across a dozen buildings. We recently experienced wierdness of the following sort. Clients would request DHCP request, DHCP servers would forward requests, which would not get passed from the AP to the clients. We could verify that DHCP and all other parts of network were fine. I had to cold boot each AP to clear the condition. I could find nothing in this mix of 350s and 1200s or the spectrum that would indicate an obvious attack... Couldn't find where to start looking for any tables that were full, or any real place to look for some other reason for this. Yet after cold boot- all is well.
    Any thoughts, in case it happens again?

    Hi Guys,
    I am having a similar problem to you, however i can get authentciated via LEAP, but dont seem to get an IP adderss from the radius server.
    My setup is very simple as i am at the design stage. We have a Cisco AP 1200 (2.4 and 5.0 GHZ) and we are using FUNK steel belted RADIUS server. LEAP authentication works fine and i can see the association on the AP. The wirless client (HP W400 integrated Wireless cards) shows that it has been authenticated successfully too. However no IP is being received. We have a IP Pool configured on the SBR server and the SBR server shows that it has issued an IP address.
    Next step was to place a sniffer and capture the packets. The capture shows the radius requests and challenges and in the very last ACCEPT packet we can see that the SBR has issued an IP address.
    I am confused as i cant see anything on AP that would block the IP address. There are also a few attributes showing as "unknown" in the sniffer trace, so im not too sure wgats going on.
    Can anyone help. The IOS is 12.2 (13) JA

  • Access Points not joining WLC

    Hello All,
    I am trying to deploy several AIR-CAP3502E-E-K9 access points from a cisco 5508 wire lan contoller running ver 7 code. However iam having difficulty regiserting the access points with the WLC. The wlc is connect to a 3650 switch, and each access point is connected to a 2960 switch.
    Problem Solved. A bad update was not allowing the access points to get their correct firmware.

    You need to provide what Leo stated, that would help a lot. Anyways you can't telnet or ssh into a capwap AP if it has not joined the WLC. So that being said, provide the info Leo requested and then console into the ap and provide use with output from the console. Make sure you reboot the AP and then start capturing the output for around 5 minutes.

  • Access Points Not Pingable or Accesable LAPAC1750PRO

    We have been having connectivity issues with two of these Access points serial numbers
    Let me give you some Details about our environment first . We are in a very large Old 6 floor office building that is split by two sides East and West. They are separated by the building elevators and the Stairwell. We occupy the entire 6th floor and the east side of the second.
    All the offices on the west side connect to a switch room on the west  which has a fiber backbone to the east side. The second floor also connects via fiber backbone to the east side where our core switch is .
    These two AP`s where located to the 6th floor west . They have been giving us trouble whereas they work for a short time and then they lose connectivity with the LAN and The wireless clients. If the AP`s are rebooted they will sometimes work for a few days and sometimes they will lose connectivity right away .
    Strangely enough during troubleshooting we have discovered that when the AP`s are on the east side of the building they preform flawlessly . So your probably saying what is different between these two sides. We are having trouble determining this . right now we think it¹s something environmental . The AP`s respond the same way whether the POE connection is utilized or not . he is what we have done to try and isolate the issues
    We have connected the AP directly to a laptop with a cross cable and powered up the AP in several parts of the West side . They are pingable and accessible always
    We connected the AP directly to our switches ( we Have Poe and NON Poe ) we can ping the AP for 20 to 36 pings , sometimes 120 pings and then they are not responsive.
    We have two back up networks that run from the west side to the east side . One is a spare fiber pair and the other is a CAT 6 Cable . This bypasses the switches by using a different pair of fiber back to the east side . Connecting the AP`s this way also results in no connectivity shortly after they are powered on . If we take the AP and move them physically to the east side and use the same back up connection to the west side they are responsive.
    We have rebooted the switches on the west side of the building
    We have reset the Ap back to the factory setting and only gave then An Ip address Subnet and DNS Info . They respond the same way when on the west side

    Welcome to the many problems of the LAPAC1750. I finally gave up and went with Ubnt. Uptime is at 75 days now and would've been longer if not for a firmware update.
    The LAPAC had good range and worked well when it worked, but it's unstable to be marketed right now. Hopefully Linksys issues a firmware update to fix everything.
