Access point without enough power

My AIR-LAP1252G-E-K9 access point doesn't register against the controller. The switch is seeing both the MAC and the IP of the AP, but the power inline seems not to be enough. Although the switch sees the AP's IP address by CDP, this one doesn't answer the ping request.

Hi Laura,
Yes, it's most cetainly a "PoE" problem;
Powering the Aironet 1250 Series Access Point with 802.3af Power over Ethernet
The Aironet 1250 Series Access Point with one RM1252 radio module installed requires 12.95W, which is within the 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard. Any Cisco switch supporting 802.3af may be used to power the Aironet 1250 Series Access Point with one RM1252 radio module installed. This is ideal for businesses that chose to only deploy on a single frequency (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz). A single radio provides optimum performance with approximately 300 Mbps maximum PHY data rate. Customers who deploy dual-band, 802.11n radios and power the 1250 Series using standard 802.3af will have more reliable and predictable coverage than that provided by traditional 802.11a/g networks; however, operation will be limited to a single transmitter per radio with maximum PHY data rates of 150 Mbps instead of 300 Mbps per radio. Customers with a significant investment in 802.11 a/b/g client devices that have low-to-medium bandwidth needs but high-reliability requirements will benefit the most from this type of deployment scenario.
Powering the Aironet 1250 Series Access Point with Cisco Enhanced PoE
Cisco Enhanced PoE was designed for customers who want to install new PoE-enabled technologies that require greater than 15.4W per port to function at full capability, such as wireless technology based on the IEEE 802.11n standard. Cisco Enhanced PoE provides the full power requirements for dual-radio modules and eliminates the need to run an additional cabling drop or insert a separate power injector. Support for Enhanced PoE is currently available on a variety of Cisco CatalystÂ® switching platforms. For more information on Enhanced PoE, visit
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/switches/epoe.html.
What are you using for the 1252's?? If you are using an "E" Series 3750 this is a very good thread;

Is there a way to use my time capsule as a wireless access point without having it being connected by eithernet thru my DSL

Is there a way to use my time capsule as a wireless acess point without connecting the eithernet cable to my DSL modem

Do you have another router? If not, then the TC must be connected to the modem by Ethernet cable for you to have a network.

IOS 6.0.1 - Problems with certificate based authentication on wireless access point

Hi all
We are using iPad 2 as order terminals in our shops for about 5 months. Some of the iPads (the first who entered the field) started to cause problems now. These iPads are no longer able to keep long-term connection to the wireless access point in our stores. After selecting the SSID a successful authentication using the stored EAP-TLS certificate is performed (this can be seen in the log files of our wireless controller and by the IP adress that is given by DHCP). But within seconds the affected iPads opening up a captive portal page (empty, without contents) and separates the connection to the SSID after a short time again.
Affected are currently only iPads 2 with iOS 6.0.1, which were staged about 5 months ago. The newer devices with iOS 6.1+ connect without problems and open no captive portal page. The first cases occurred on the last Wednesday. Before that everything worked without difficulty. No modifications took place on the security structure. The numbers of affected devices increased until all iOS 6.0.1 were affected.
Access to other SSIDs (without use of certificates, by entering a key) for the devices is still possible (the devices does not open an captive portal page). The DHCP scope is not used up, so there are enough IP addresses available.
"Newer iPads" with an iOS of 6.1+ are are showing no problems on the same wireless access point, where the older devices are rejected. New and old devices use the same certificates and authentication mechanisms.
In the analysis of the issue, it turned out that the problem can be solved by an update to iOS 6.1.3. Subsequently, the iPads will be able to rebuild a connection with the access point, without a captive portal page.
Since the bandwidth is very narrow dimensioned in our stores, the communication of the iPads was severely restricted. Thus, the iPads are for exampleare accessible for the APNS but can not find iOS updates or check for their availability.
A comprehensive update to iOS 6.1.3 is currently excluded.
Does anyone knows this issue? What else can be done (except from updating)?

I will answer my own question in case it helps anyone else.
It would "seem" the ios 6 devices try the proxy and if that is not working they resort to the def gateway.
To Fix I did the following:
Brocade WIFI network has IPS and Advanced Firewall rules that seemed to be tthwarting some traffic, the iphones would then try the default gateway and be blocked at the FW.
I disabled the IPS and the Advanced Firewall Settings on the wifi as they are redundant to our main IPS and firewall that all traffic flows through anyway. I will tune it later, but when the CEO is demanding a fix "**** the security, full speed ahead"
Created some rues on the firewall to allow...
- IMAP-SSL (port993) outbound
- SMTPS (port 465) to yahoo servers outbound
- tcp port 587 to yahoo servers outbound
- https to akamai servers
Most http and https goes through the proxy as it should, BUT...
It seems that the akamai traffic allways ignores the wifi proxy settings and just heads straight for the default gateway. I suspect there is a bug in the icloud app?
Hope this helps someone else.

Can't connect my iphone to access point

I have access point without internet connect. I can`t connected to this access point. used to be fine on version IOS 3.1

Ok, so in had to do this to my iPad because it crashed. if you are okat restoring your phone, you need to put it into dfu mode.
1 Hold both lock and home button until screen goes dark
2 once I'd does, not immidietly but a little bit after (don't wait to long because it will restart) let go of the power button (still holding the home button)
3 hold old that for about 10 secs. Your phone screen will be black
4 plug into iTunes. iTunes will detect it and say "iphone in recovery mode" just press restore and if you have a backup, use that
When I first learned how to do this, it took me a few tries but it works really well and it is a nice thing to know how to do

Replace Access Points...

Hi there!
I'm looking for your recommendation about some network products to be replaced within a current network to share an internet connection.
We have the following connection based in the services provided by our local telephone company, the connection arrives to a router Cisco 800 series. From the router, i send it connection to a switch SRW2024 v1.2 (Business series) 24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch with webview. That switch is useful to send connection via RJ45 for a few of PCs. Then, I send connection to a switch SRW2008P (Business series) 8-port 10/100/1000 Gigabits with vieweb and power over ethernet. The last switch, send the signal via RJ45 to seven WAP2000 (business series) Wireless-G AP with PoE.
That network is running fine, but I've some problems to cover some areas within the building and sometimes the signal is really poor. The cable RJ45 between the PoE switch and each AP is no longer than 50 meters and each one with antennes about 8 or 9 Db.
So, now I've the possibility to change the access point for a power devices. That way, can you, please advise me about my current network and whic kind of AP may exceed the power of the current ones?
Thank you!
A. Diaz

the connection arrives to a router Cisco 800 series.
What exact model of the 800 router and what is your ISP bandwidth.
please advise me about my current network and whic kind of AP may exceed the power of the current ones?
Wireless is one area where you DO NOT want to get whereby you may/can exceed the power. IF you have an AP with too much transmit power, the client can hear you. HOWEVER, the client does not have enough power to send the data back to the AP.
So if you want to get an AP with strong antenna, you have to match and mate this with a client that can push back the same or higher transmission power or your data will get lost.
The latest enterprise-class AP are the 700, 1600, 2600 and 3600. You can start by looking here.

WRT310N as an access point?

I currently have a Linksys WRT310N as my primary router/wireless device. I am not getting coverage in my entire home. I was considering purchasing the Linksys E4200 and using the WRT310N as an access point in another part of my house to extend my wireless network. From all of the research and reading I have been doing, it seems that I must connect the WRT310N to the E4200 if I want to use it as an access point. Is this the only way? I have no way to connect the WRT310N to the soon-to-be E4200 unless I run an Ethernet cable across the floor. My goal is to use the WRT310N as a wireless access point without having it wired to the E4200, if at all possible. If this is not, what other way could I go about doing this type of setup?

A repeater will cut the bandwidth in half under ideal circumstances. In reality, it will be worse. If you transfer from A through the repeater R to your base station B, any transmission first has to go from a A to R and then from R to B. As R and B both operate on the same channel any transmission will interfere, i.e. when A talks to R, B cannot talk. If R talks to B, A cannot talk. Thus you only have half the bandwidth if there is no other interference.
Of course with wireless it happens occasionally that transmissions interfere, e.g. if A and B decide at almost the same time to send a transmission to R there will be interference and retransmissions leading to additional loss.
The bridge doesn't do this. A bridge works like a wireless client. Anything is transmitted only once.

Have just found a hickup on the Lion software 10.7.2 When using a access point that you name with letters that is only in Norwegian æøå you will loose connections and only get time out. So the solution will be to rename the access point.

Any solution beside to rename the wifi access point without the spesial Norwegian letters æøå?

Your points match mine pretty well,though here are some thoughts:
1. I thought about this theory myself this morning (iTunes possibly causing more issues), but I haven't been able to verify it.
2. When I set up a new user it seemed better for a while, but the issue croppped back up. Yesterday I fully wiped the machine and reinstalled from scratch. I did not reimport my user from TimeMachine, but the problem has come back. My thinking was that I might have some really old software or prefs hanging around causing the issue. No dice.
3. This is my current theory of the issue, so my next step will be to pull the RAM from Crucial and see how the system behves. IF that doesn't eliminate the problem, I'll pull the factory installed RAM and replace it with the 3rd party RAM. The odd thing is how many people seem to have similar issues - I know two personally, and have seen several posts on forums. I think the most common point for this happening was the 10.7.2 update, which would point to software as the culprit.
4. That matches my experience.
My hope is that this will be repaired in the forthcoming 10.7.3 release (current production version is 10.7.2), but otuside of what I noted above, I'm at a loss.

Roaming between two WiFi access points fails

Hi...
I just bought a Hawking WiFi range extender...a device that acts like a second wireless access point for rooms that are far from your wireless router. It's also known as a repeater. It has the same SSID (network name) as the one set up by the router.
You are supposed to be able to move about the house and you will connect to whichever device has the higher signal strength, transparently, with no hiccups, like moving your cell phone from one cell antenna to another.
The setup works fine with my Dell laptop, but not with my MacBook Pro or my iPad. When I change "zones", the Network locks up. This is repeatable and consistent.
I've heard rumors about Apple product difficulties with this "WiFi roaming."
Can anyone help?
Thx
Steve

I've been using a roaming setup in my home for years. The company I work for has building wide WiFi roaming setup with multiple WiFi access points on each floor. At home and at work, I frequently move my MacBook between access points without loosing things like my VPN, Screen Sharing, File Sharing, ssh terminal sessions, etc....
But 3rd party networking hardware has not always been well tested against Apple products. Many times 3rd party networking vendors test against some version of Windows and then ship it. Sometimes the 3rd party vendor offers a firmware update that corrects issues with Apple products.
At home I have Apple Airport Extreme base stations for my roaming setup. At work, the company is using Cisco commercial WiFi access points.
A roaming setup needs to have all WiFi devices on the same network "Subnet". That means a 2nd WiFi base station cannot act as a router, but must be just a bridge on the existing router's subnet (generally that means it cannot be offering DHCP services nor NAT services).
The 2nd WiFi base station must have the same SSID (as you said you setup).
And it must have the same security password using the same encryption algorithm (WPA2 preferred from a security stand point). You did not mention this, but I'll assume you did this as well.

IPhone 5 only able to connect 1 wifi access point

My phone will successfully connect to any access point I attempt to connect to. However, if my phone has ever connected to another access point, I must explicitly forget the previous access point in order to connect to another one. If I attempt to connect to a new access point without first forgetting the other access point, it will continually reject my password as invalid for the new access point. As soon as I either forget the other access point (or perform iOS network reset operation), I can connect fine to the new access point.
This is hugely frustrating. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Has anyone found the issue to this? I'm having the same exact problem and have tried all the resets

Design question: Access points and controller Logical/Physical placement

Background:
We have an MPLS (layer 3) network 4 offices and a Datacenter:
We are planning to install about 10 Access Points(3600 series) per office and have a controller(5508 series) in the Datacenter.
Questions:
1- Is this design possible, in other words, just one controller centralizing all Access point traffic in one controller in the Datacenter?
2- We would like to accomplish this in two phases:
    A- install access points without controller handling authentication thru microsoft IAS servers (current configuration with 1200 series)
    B- Deploy wireless Controller in Datacenter and start migrating orphan APs to Controllers one office at a time
I'll appreciate any advice , comments and suggestions to the the outlined plan/design
Thanks
Juan

1- Is this design possible, in other words, just one controller centralizing all Access point traffic in one controller in the Datacenter?
Yes... depending on the bandwidth you can either have the APs in local mode which tunnels all traffic back to the WLC or you configure the AP's in FlexConnect and place the traffic locally in each site.
2- We would like to accomplish this in two phases:
    A- install access points without controller handling authentication thru microsoft IAS servers (current configuration with 1200 series)
    B- Deploy wireless Controller in Datacenter and start migrating orphan APs to Controllers one office at a time
I don't know what you are trying to accomplish here, but if you are running new cables and replacing all the AP's, you should bring up the WLC in the DC and connect all the AP's but leave the AP as admin down until your ready to cutover. You can still use the IAS server for radius, just need to create a AAA client on the IAS for the WLC.
Thanks,
Scott

Standalone access points(FAT) as mesh APs -1602

Hi,
We have a group of fat access-points in the network. Do you know whether 1602 series access-points can act as mesh access-points without a controller?
thanks,

I don't know if they can or not since its not shown in this v7.6 guide:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/technology/mesh/7-6/design/guide/mesh76/mesh76_preface_00.html
Here is a guide regarding indoor mesh, so you get a good understanding of what it can and can't do.

IPhone4 and Cisco Aironet 1141 access point - fail using WPAv2 Personal

I cannot get my iPhone4 (latest s/w) to connect to a Cisco Aironet 1141 access point if I specify WPAv2 Personal. It is a single access point without radius etc. I have no problems connecting using "no security", WEP or WPAv1. Is there a problem with the iPhone4 implementation of WPA2 as all my other PCs connect just fine on WPAv2?
With the Aironet 1141 I can switch security between WPAv1 & WPAv2 while keeping all other settings identical. Thus I can clearly demonstrate how the iPhone4 connects when both devices are set to WPAv1 yet will fail to connect when I switch both to WPAv2. As I have said, all other PCs I have connect via WPAv2 without any issues.

Access points at -5 temp

hi
1) i need info about which access points supports operating temperatures as low as - 5 C (minus 5) .
2) i guess all access points supports atleast 0 deg celcius operating temperature.
3) for managing 30 access points do i " really " need a wcs . ( i mean will mangement becomes difficult without WCS. )
Thanks
plz reply soon

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/wireless/ps5678/ps6521/product_data_sheet0900aecd8031c844.html
The 1242 datasheet says it operates until -20 C
It should be the same for most other access points. Check the datasheet of the ones that you find interesting.
Your 3rd question is a bit strange. WCS is useful to manage multiple CONTROLLERS.
So if you have 30 access points, you are best using lightweight access points and a controller. No particular need of WCS unless you want nice reporting and graphic features.
30 access points would be a pain to manage if you chose standalone access points without controller.
Hope this helps.

Connecting Access point through wireless

Hi there can anybody guide me whether i can connect one cisco access point though wired connection. and rest of the access points will be aquiring the ip address from the wired connected access point without using any wired connectivity? Is it possible if yes how can i implement that and how feasible it is?
Please i am in urgent need. Thanks in advance

An Access Point is designed to only pass traffic for WIRELESS clients ONLY. It will not pass traffic for wired clients that are communicating to a bridge, (unless it is a Working Group bridge.)
