Access Points resetting

Has anyone seen this problem before.
Access points 1142 controller 5508 running code 6.0.196.0
When you set the access point port speed with "config ap duplex full speed 1000 all" the access points leave the controlle and do not rejoin. I have had to reset the the access points manually with a power down and hold the reset button.
I cannot find a bug report for this.

Surendra
It could be that bug however the bug report specifically mentions autonomous aps, so what would happen is the ap is ok set with 1000 full but the switch just doesn't think its there?
zhenningx
The client wants speed and duplex set, also if the command it available it certainly should not break something, equally auto auto is alot better than it used to be however is far from reliable, what if the switch/ap port combination decides to set itself at 10 half using auto auto? OK it hasnt but what if it did thats obviously possible aand not good.
Its simply a case of yes there is a work around but with the client spending an awful lot of money he wants it to work how he wants it to work.
If you bought a car for £50K and you couldnt get your favourite radio station on the radio because of a bug would you be happy? No. At the end of the day I accept that there are bugs etc but saying just leave it like this is not really aceptable as we have an expectation as client that things should work as described.
I do not want to be negative but there is a lot wrong in the 6.x code that really shouldnt be and its basics like not being able to set speed and duplex, the issues with Vocera etc and saying just use auto auto is not good enough for me as an engineer. First does Csco know about it, second is there a fix, third is it something I have done.
Now lets assume this was a hospital where there were 1000 access points in ceilings and they all went off the network, that would be catastrophic. Having to find and reset 1000 access points in a hospital. I actually read the release notes for specific code trains I use and this is not in the list of bugs in 6.0.196.0

HT201328 Error after unlocking - need to reset data settings Access Point Name

Hi -
AT&T unlocked my phone few months back. I restored the phone and got "iphone unlocked message". After inserting the new SIM card, I cannot get on the cellular network. I think I need to reset the data settings access point name. However I am unable to access this option. Can someone help?
Thanks

I had the same problem and I fixed it as following (See if it's the same case for you) :
1. Goto Tools > Options.
2. Under Advanced, select the Network Tab.
3. Click on Settings in the "Connection" box (open connection settings).
4. Check if "Automatic Proxy Configuration URL" is selected. If it is so, select "No proxy" instead or manually enter your proxy if you are using one.
The option "Automatic Proxy Configuration URL" was the culprit for me and some others as well and selecting "No proxy" instead cured our problems. It is a bug and has already been reported on Bugzilla as you can see here :

Need to reset 1231 Access Point from LW mode, to standard mode

How do I do this?
I've tried the clear lwapp commands, and nothing seems to help.
Do I need to load a new IOS?

Using a TFTP Server to Return to a Previous Release
Note This section does not apply to Cisco C3201WMIC and Cisco C3201LAP.
Follow these steps to revert from LWAPP mode to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS release using a TFTP server:
Step 1 The static IP address of the PC on which your TFTP server software runs should be between 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.30.
Step 2 Make sure that the PC contains the access point image file (such as c1200-k9w7-tar.122-15.JA.tar for a 1200 series access point) in the TFTP server folder and that the TFTP server is activated.
Step 3 On the PC where the TFTP server is located, perform these steps:
a. Disable any software firewall products, such as Windows firewall, ZoneAlarm firewall, McAffee firewall, or others.
b. Ensure all Windows files are visible. From Windows Explorer, click Tools > Folder Options > View > Show hidden files and folders.
Step 4 Rename the access point image file in the TFTP server folder to c1200-k9w7-tar.default for a 1200 series access point, c1130-k9w7-tar.default for an 1130 series access point, and c1240-k9w7-tar.default for a 1240 series access point.
Step 5 Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.
Step 6 Disconnect power from the access point.
Step 7 Press and hold MODE while you reconnect power to the access point.
Step 8 Hold the MODE button until the status LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds) and then release.
Step 9 Wait until the access point reboots, as indicated by all LEDs turning green followed by the Status LED blinking green.
Step 10 After the access point reboots, reconfigure it using the GUI or the CLI.

Can't HP Officejet pro 8100 do wifi access point?

Yesterday my HP Officejet pro 8100 arrived and I try to connect via wifi. I thinked that It need a infrastructure access point to print via wifi.
When I powered on the printer I osserved that It create an access point autonomously with SSID: HP-Setup-7A-Officejet Pro, with IPv4 address server, etc...
I was very happy and I printed a page with my smartphone samsung s4 connected directly with printer access point (not wifi direct but standard wifi).
Today no changed occurred but I can't use printer with its own access point, but only with an external wifi access point.
Someone can help me, please? It could be an hardware problem?
Thanks,
Luca
P.S. in web server I checked that "access point connectivity" (Punto di accesso wireless connettività in Italian) is checked.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello lucait
To print via WiFi you need to have a wireless router setup. Once you have the wireless router setup correctly you will have a SSID and Wepkey that will enable you to add devices to your network. The network will allow all your devices to communicate not just with each other but with the internet. At the moment your printer was not put in a network so instead of broadcasting on a network it is broadcasting on it's own network called HP-Setup-7A-Officejet Pro which is only good for a short period of time to allow you to setup your wireless. I am going to assume you have a wireless network and you are just needing assistance getting the printer setup on that network.
To set your printer up on a network you will need to reset your network defaults so your printer begins to broadcast that HP-Setup-7A-Officejet Pro network again. You can do this buy following the steps on the HP Support document Resetting the Network Settings. Once you have done this you can begin to install the software that came with your printer on your computer. You want to set the printer up wirelessly when the option arrives. The software should configure your printers wireless for you and put it on the network. Once completed you should be able to access your printer from all your devices as long as they are on the network.
I hope this helps resolve your wireless issue. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Setting up a netgear n300 as wireless bridge/access point with airport extremee

I just replaced my netgear wireless router with the airport to allow our many devices on the network without knocking each other off and also increase the speed. But would like to use the netgear as a wireless bridge or access point so that I can still connect my NTFS formatted hard drive to be shared on the network. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I can not seem to find my netgear router with 192.168.1.1 as that comes up with another device. I have tried doing this with a windows laptop in another room but can not seem to make it work. I am now hooked up directly to the airport thinking i need to do it that way and still no luck. Please help.

As long as you intend to do this over ethernet it will work.. you cannot easily wireless repeat or bridge to an apple router.. you would need specific hardware to do it.
What is the exact model of netgear you have?
The setup method depends on the functionality of the router.. but lets assume it does not have a bridge or WAP mode.
You use WAN bypass.
1. Setup the Netgear with IP address in the correct IP range for the rest of the network.. it is hard to talk generalities so lets say the apple is main router and your network is now 10.0.1.x .. then set the Netgear to 10.0.1.250 (apple uses IP 2-200 by default) you can use any value you like outside the DHCP range. Up to the limit which is 254 as long as you keep track of all static IP devices. Apply this setting and power cycle the router.. and you might need to power cycle the computer as well to pick up the new IP.
2. Turn off the DHCP server in the Netgear. You may lose connection to the netgear now.. do not worry about it.. (this can be combined with one.. if you firstly turn off dhcp before you change the IP.. but whatever is possible.. at some point you will need to change around and if you forget what IP .. you will be in a mess.. so write it on a label and stick on the base of the router.. also without dhcp you will either need to reset router to factory using reset button or use static ip on the computer. )
3. Plug ethernet from LAN of the main router to LAN of the Netgear. Reboot the whole network is often necessary.
4. In your computer plugged somewhere in the network.. open browser and go to the address you set.. 10.0.1.250 in my example.
5. You can then setup the Netgear to do whatever you like.. DIsk access is fine.. wireless is fine.. it just cannot be a router.
Many many reboots if you get lost. Hit reset and start over.

An Error Occurred while trying to join "my wireless access point"

Hi,
I've been using wireless access for a year and never had a problem connecting.
But starting yesterday I get a +*An Error Occurred while trying to join "my wireless access point", Please try again.+* Message.
I have 2 Mac's and have no problem connecting with the other one. It’s just the IMac.
I tried everything including resetting router, changing password, adding a $ to the password, accessing without password, deleting the whole air port and create a new one, but still getting the same message.
I might need to add, while I was working with the IMac I didn’t use wireless for a few hours, but when I got back to my browser I noticed that I was connected to a different wireless service. (FONFREEINTERNET if it matters) I have no idea why, since I didn’t change it.
Anyways, I tried to switch back to my access point, but it wouldn’t let me. It’ll just give me the +*An Error Occurred while trying to join "my wireless access point", Please try again.+* Message.
Funny is when I use the FONFREEINTERNET access point the internet seems to work fine.
I could look up Google without a problem, but when I tried to connect to Facebook for example it won’t let me. Instead a FONFREEINTERNET page will pop up with some options on how to pay! (by minute/or day/or week…)
I get the strange feeling that they planted some kind of bug/virus!!!
I don’t know what else to do.
Anyone knows that problem? What can I do?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
I researched on FONFREEINTERNET, there’s a spot close to my house/guess that’s the one I used…
http://maps.fon.com/ ZIP CODE 904-0113 and you’ll see a coffee pod, which is about 2 minutes walk from my house.

Hello Tesserax,
I get the same error message again...
I tried the 3 suggested steps again, but unfortunately it did not work.
After a Restart, Sleep or just the awaking from Screensaver mode I’m disconnected from my wireless Network anymore.
Even if the Computer was asleep for just a second!
I am able to fix the problem temporarily with Network Preferences → Assist me → Diagnostics
Choose Airport → Choose network → Enter Password (Even if I check safe password it’ll ask me every time) → and than usually all lights on the left menu switch from red to green and I get the popup message “A Network Change has been detected. Your Internet seems to work fine.” (similar - I’m at work and don’t remember exactly)
And it works fine…until the screensaver comes on or it sleeps again
I have the Problem with my IMac and Mini but the IMac at least remembers my password…
Any Ideas

How to use Home Hub 3 as a 2nd router(access point...

Hi guys hope you can help; I am trying to add my Home Hub 3 as a 2nd router (ie an access point) to my home network and struggling.
What am I trying to achieve.
I have a fully functioning home network which is working great but the wireless range does not extend to the room above my garage, some distance away from the main house. I currently service it with an Ethernet link from my E4200 router, via the mains wiring, to link to a PS3 there. But I want to extend this to have a wireless network in the remote room so I can link multiple devices - rather than spend more money, deploying a 2nd router which I already have is preferable.
What have I got.
I have a Linksys E4200 router (nice piece of kit) attached to my ADSL line via a Belkin N1 wireless modem-router set to “modem only” mode (I was using a DSL modem until yesterday but that went AWOL and digging out the Belkin router I saw that it had a modem only function – and it/they worked first time )
All of my gear in the house is attached wirelessly to the E4200 which is delivering circa 11.5mbps from a maximum of 12.5mbps for the line measured by BT onsite. So all is fine there.
What have I done to try and use the HH3
Linked an Ethernet cable between one of the Ethernet ports on the E4200 to a mains plug.
Linked an Ethernet cable from a mains plug to one of the Ethernet ports on the HH3 router.
Ie as the PS3 was linked.
3. Switched on the HH3 router: the power light is solid blue, the wireless light is solid blue, the broadband light is off
4. Connected my laptop to the HH3 network and loading up a web page on IE9 displays a web page from bthomehub.home/etc etc with title BT Home Hub and a message “Can’t connect to Broadband”. It is the start of a self- diagnostic routine. Answering all the questions I eventually get a Home Hub Administrative Home Page displayed.
Is there a quicker way of getting to this admin page??
5. I switched off DHCP
I changed the IP address from 192.168.1.254 to 192.168.1.200 as this seems to be what the other threads on this subject did.
When I went to apply the change a message came up telling me that I might not be able to access the HH3. I ploughed on disregarding this and needless to say I could not then access the HH3 via the web interface and trying to access a web site nothing happened.
6. I did a hardware reset on the HH3
7. Going through the motions again, when I got to the admin pages again, I switched off DHCP and this time left the IP address alone, ie 192.168.1.254.
When I went to apply this I got the message
“After changing these settings you will need to renew the IP address of all devices connecting to your BT Home Hub. Please follow the instructions provided with your devices.”
I applied the change – but have not yet done any fooling around with IP addresses on my laptop because I don’t want to start mucking around with my laptop
I then tried to access a website, and failed, but on this occasion rather than nothing happening, the Home Hub website came up again displaying the error message page.
And that is where I stand. All looks so easy when reading other threads on this and other forums but it is not working for me.
Any help greatly appreciated.
The IP settings on the E4200 are
IP 192.168.1.1
Range 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.149
Also connection type on the E4200 is POE not POA – as far as I recall that is what it needed to be to connect to the DSL modem and work.

Thanks for the speedy reply!
I have actually came across this page before - I seem to hit a snag when I connect the repeater hub (my HH3). As outlined, I have at all times kept the repeater hub connected via ehternet into one of the regular LAN ports to my main HH5.
But when I connect my laptop to the repeat hub (HH3), I am actually connected to the internet somehow (I assuem using the HH5 network) but under my network connections it says I am connected to the HH3. As a result, when I go to the homehub settings page 192.168.1.254, it brings me to the main HH5 settings page and not the repeater HH3.
According to the instructions it says I should "Ignore the not connected page", but I am connected and I cant seem to alter any of the settings on my HH3 while it is connected to the HH5.
Any other pointers?
Thanks!

What is the WPS button on my access point? I am trying to setup wirelessly with a canon MX892 printer

Printer setup instructions say to press the WPS button on the access point (my 4th gen Time Capsule). Does that mean hit reset and will I have to setup every other device again by doing that?

No, do not hit reset .. it is not a WPS button.
Apple products do not use WPS, so no WPS button is needed. And they have no need to implement one.. nothing exists outside the Apple bubble.. didn't you know that??
Read the forum expert Tesserax instructions for using WPS. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16034147#16034147
But it is better to plug in your printer to a mac by usb and use the disk provided to do a full manual setup of wireless.. WPS is simply the easy way.

Prompt never appears in a 2602i access point

Hello:
Today I converted an AIR-CAP2602I-A-K9 access point to autonomous using the mode button/tftp method, but no matter what IOS I install (I tried 2 different IOS and also tried entering to Rommon - I am able to change IOS because the procedure I used does not need any command), i never get to see the prompt so that I can introduce commands to configure the AP. It's like it hangs after "succesfully" initializing
The only thing I can see all the time are "normal" console messages, and It shows no error message at all. It happened even before the downgrade.
This is where the AP stops, but it is not really hung because console messages could keep showing up. It just never gets to the promt so I can enter some commands. Would not even acept Enter.

Is it possible to remove the iphone history of wireless access points to which you've connected?

So.... I work in a place where there is a lot of security and snooping. There are folks specifically assigned to track down phones in unauthorized places. Their enthusiasm is sometimes annoying.
I leave my phone in a locker outside of the restricted area. However, I recently overheard some of the "snoops" discussing a phone that they had found. They were discussing a specific wireless access point that was in that phone's history, that caused some discussion. Although the phone was located in the locker area, they had apparently discovered it and examined it.
It was my phone.
One obvious course of action is to make sure the phone is always turned off (which I will do), but they have now identified my phone by the APs to which I connect, and I'd like to erase that history.
Is it possible?
Thank you.

How do I configure WRT54G as a wireless access point?

Ater a whole series of problems related to Vista, a WAP54G, Airport xpress, wireless printers, etc. plus at least three hours on the phone with Linksys tech support acessing my computer remotely and still not fixing the problems, I dumped my WRT54GC for a Belkin-N router. I set it up over the weekend and slowly regained internet access, then the pinter, then the Airports.
I still would like to have an access point because my signal strength even with the new N router is too weak downstairs to allow my PS3 to connect to it. I cannot figure out how to configure the WAP54G to make it work. I want to take a shot with the WRT54GC. From what I've read, I should be able to do it.
I can get into the router (referring to the Linksys) no problem. I can reconfigure it to an extent, changing the IP address to the recommended 192.168.1.2. I do this by running an ethernet cable from my PC to the router. Howver, after changing the IP address in the router I can't get into it any more using the new IP address. When I attach teh Linksys router to the Belkin I can't get in either.
Both the Linksys and the Belkin use 192.168.1.1 as the default IP address for each device.
I would like to know what settings I need to change i nteh WRT54G to turn it ino an access point -- an extenson of my existing network with teh Belkin router attached to the Comcast modem. I have looked at various how-to's and they all seem to assume I am connecting the two routers with an ethernet cable. If it's not clear at this point, I'd like to connect them wirelessly.
Thanks.

Thanks so much for the reply.
I was working with it all last night and somethign strange happened. After reading some other info on the internets, I changed the IP address on the WRT to 192.168.2.1. It updated, I then ran the wire from the Belkin to the WRT, I typed in 192.168.2.1, it took me to the Linksys setup page, but when I clicked "wireless" in the WRT setup, it took me to the Belkin setup page. How in the world did that happen?
Armed with tis new info, I did a hard reset on the WRT -- assuming it would change the WRT back to 192.168.1.1 -- got into the setup, turned off DHCP, left the IP as .1.1, and then wired it again into the Belkin. I can now get into the setup of either one.
Here's the thing: I don't want the two routers wired together. I want to move the WRT downstairs so a PS3 can pick up the signal. I want the WRT to wirelessly relay that signal to the Belkin to get the PS3 onto the net. I can't run a wire from the Belkin to the WRT.
I've read conflicting reports about whether the WRT can do this. Other sites suggest adding 3rd party firmware to add that functionality but that will definitely push the bounds of my abilities and likely exceed them. So, can the WRT even function in this way?
Inre the WAP, I don' know why but my ability to access the setup menu via 192.168.1.245 is very hit or miss -- much miss than hit. It makes no sense unless there is a bad connection somewhere because I hard reset, wire it to my laptop, put in the IP, and time out 19 times out of 20. I've got the MAC address for the router, and I think I know I want it to function as a repeater, but I've not been able to get that working right eihter.
Thanks for any further reply.

N800 can no longer see any wireless access points....

Not only can I not see my WLAN, but I can't see any of the many in the surrounding area. I had no problem getting and staying connected in the previous weeks, but for whatever reason, a scan of for WLANs returns zero as of yesterday. -chris

The one thing that changed, is I switched my WLAN router over to a new 802.11N router. Used the same SSID, same WPA pre-shared key, etc. I have a feeling this had something to do with it, although my other systems connect just fine (PC, Mac, PSP, Tivo, etc).
I've made some progress though. Even though I couldn't see any WLANs with a scan, I manually added my access point by entering the SSID and everything else. This time when I did a scan, my WLAN showed up, and all the others in the vicinity did too. I tried to connect to mine, and it failed, so I tried connecting to a neighbor's that was unsecured and voila...connected. Not ideal, but progress. So I then deleted my manually entered connection, disconnected then rescanned. The first scan was blank, but on the second, I saw all of the local WLANs, including mine. I tried connecting; entered the WPA pre-shared key again and bang...connected.
My guesss is that my N800 got really confused when it saw the same SSID, but with a different MAC address. Just seemed odd that it wouldn't see the other WLANs in the area. This behavior even continued after a full reset and load of the OS. I wonder if there are some network config files that got corrupt with the changes I made. If so, perhaps there's a way to dump these settings manually?
Thanks for you response. -chris

Wireless access point no longer working with ios7

Upgraded to ios7 and did not change anything. Wireless access point still recognised in settings however no internet connection possible. What's wrong or different with iOS 7?

1. Turn router or access point off for 30 seconds and on again.
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

N800 no longer detecting any wireless access point

The device is working fine couple days ago, then today when I turn it on, the "connection manager" can no longer see any wireless access point. Not only my home network, also
my neighbor's wlan. My laptop can detect 10 networks
around my house. I try upgrad my os to the latest version and it is still not working. Is anyone has similar experience ? Is it a hardware problem ? Any advice will be
welcome.

It happened to my N800 too just a couple of days ago after I installed a number of applications. I have already removed those applications but the N800 still would not detect the access points that it usually detects with no problem.
It could not detect the WLAN inside our house even if the N800 was physically sitting on top of the router. It would intermittently detect my neighbor's WLAN (the one which I usually use) but it would not log on to it.
I tried removing the battery hoping to reset it but nothing changed.
It also would not connect to my PC via USB. The computer could not detect it. This one happened even before I installed those applications.
Help!!!!

Access points wont accept clients on 2.4 GhZ

Hi
We are having some Issue with some Access Points are dropping clients on 2.4 GhZ radio, the radio is if you SSH to the Access Point "Dot11Radio0 is up, line protocol is up".
Our setup is 2 x Wism2 controller (7.5), a CPI (1.4), and around 750 Access points of various types (1121, 1131, 1142, 2602).
If we reset the Access Point from CPI it comes up and it will again accept clients on 2.4 GhZ for a random time period, sometimes it works for some hours, sometimes for a couple of days, total random.
The once we have seen the problem on is as I know 1142:
Software Version
7.5.102.0
Boot Version
12.4.23.0
AP Model
AIR-LAP1142N-E-K9
IOS Version
15.2(4)JA1$
Hope to get help finding a solution.
Best regards
Jørgen

If you have a high density deployment, you might want to look at your RRM. What is the power set to on the AP's. If the power is set too low, that can cause clients not to see or be able to join an access point. If this is the case, you need to set the min tx power level for the 2.4ghz radio which is under the wireless tab in the 802.11bgn TPC.
If you have an issue with a certain AP model, it might be a bug, but you didn't mention what model AP is was happening to.
