Aironet 1140

Hi we just purchase 2 aironet 1140 ac
cess point
We configure both of them as access point and put one on the first floord and the second one the the second floor
Is there a way in windows client to tell windows to use the best wifi access point (the best signal) ?
If not is it better to confirure one as a repeater ? Ive read that setting an access point as a repeater will drastically reduce throughput...
Any suggestion on how should i use these 2 access point ?
Thanks !

There are a number of reasons whether or not the client will associate to a specific AP and not to the closest one:
1. Signal strength, SNR;
2. Client drivers
Check the signal strength of the APs from different floors. You can either lower the transmission signals or moving the APs might help. Another is disabling some of the lower MCS rates.

Android 4.1 tablet not connecting to Aironet 1140

Hello community, I am having an issue with my Android Tablet running 4.1 (Jelly Bean). It is able to the SSID, but when I try to connect - it stays connecting and then says saved, and never connects, as it does not pick up an IP address. I updated the firmware on the Aironet 1140 due to my Windows 8 pc's not connecting as well, it solved my Windows 8 problem, just not my Android Tablet problem. My Ipads do work. Just any android device I connect...
Anyone, ran into this issue that can assist?
Thanks in advance.

Cannot get Windows 7 x64 laptop to connect to AIRONET 1140 WAP

I recently changed the configuration of my Aironet 1140 from WEP to WAP2-Enterprise to make it more secure. I am using the WAP as the radius server. After making the change I connected my Blackberry to the wap as well as a Samsung Chromebook. However when I tried to connect my HP laptop it is unable to connect. Watching from the Aironet's console I see that it is processing the association and windows ask me to enter my uid and password. When I do this I get an authentication error. I have tried several times adjusting parameters on windows but it always fails. Here is the configuration of the WAP:

Aironet 1140 54Mbps connection speed

We are having some issues with our AP: Aironet 1140 at our head office where people are complaining of slow connection speeds.
I have gone through the configuration on the controller and noticed that all Clients were connecting at 802.11g connection speeds (54Mbps).
I have noticed in the configuration page on the controller Wireless>802.11b/g/n > High Throughput is disabled. (See attached screenshot)
I don’t want to just enable this setting in case it disconnects all the users from all the AP’s not just the ones at head office.
We use 802.1x for authentication and Machine certificates.
All Clients connect using WPA2.
Would this settings increase the connection speed up to 802.11n?
Is there a way to just enable it on 1 AP to trial it before enabling it on all the AP’s?

The wireless speed is only 15-20mbps Max. When connected via Lan cable the speed is around 45mbps.
As scott said, you are getting this speed due to the half duplex nature of wireless. If your AP model is 1142, then you can configure radio1 interface (5GHz) for the SSID. You MUST use WPA2/AES or Open Auth in order to get 802.11n speeds which is greater than 54Mbps. I do not think you are using that at the moment & it may be a reason why clients data rates not get 802.11n speeds.
Below shows different AP model max data rates. If your clients having multiple spatical stream (SS) capability they can get higher speeds. Note that 20MHz BW is the max you can get in 2.4GHz band & 40MHz bandwidth you can get from 5GHz with channel bonding. So 5GHz is always better if you looking for higher througput (but obviously client should able to connect in 5GHz)
Adding antoher AP would be a good idea (without bridging) & see wether you could afford 2602 or 3602 which can go upto 450Mbps data rates . Practically if you could you get 50% (which is around 200Mbps) that is really good. Note that this is total AP througput & if you connect multiple clients that will be shared among users.
Also keep in mind when you add multiple users all users aggregate bandwidth is limited to 50Mbps due to your WAN link speed. So that would be the bottleneck within your network.

Configuring Cisco Aironet 1140 for Radius and setting up a Radius server

guys i need some help setting up my Radius to work with cisco aironet 1140, i am new at this however i was tasked with setting up a Radius server and setting our AP with WPA2- enterprise so users can log into our AP using AD credentials.
When i try to setup on the AP a new SSID i do not see the option for WPA2- enterprise?

Here are other links with examples:

Connected clients on Aironet 1140

I've been using Aironet 1140 series access point for a while. Recently it started to drop the wireless clients quite often. we have nearly 20 wireless users and one access point. they are mix of apple macs, windows and mobile phone users. when i went in to see the connected clients all the clients whown on the web page are connected through cable to our LAN. whay is it showing as connected to dot11 radio? am i missing something here? thanks

Can you post a screen shot? You sure the devices on your lan doesn't ahve a wireless card?
Thanks,

Aironet 1140 AP's and DHCP

We have 6 aironet 1140's throughout the office I have them all configed as one ssid but I would like the DHCP to come from our Windows server. Right now I have set them up with ip dhcp pools. So what is the secret to get them to send dhcp requests to the Windows server?
Thanks

Nope...
All you have to do is configure ip helpder address on L3 device and remove the dhcp pool configuration from AP's. This will ensure that devices pick ip from your wondws dhcp scope.
Hope that helps.

Cisco Aironet 1140 Issues (Dropping clients, 5GHz issue, AP Switching)

Greetings,
We've been having issues for a while with these Aironet 1140's. We have two of them in the office and the issue is similar to the first issue displayed in this post:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-26228
The only difference is that I can't do this since we don't use a controller.
We're using Mac clients on Lion/Mt. Lion. We have no issues connecting to the access points, but occassionally the user will drop off one of the AP's(Access Point 2). Recently I changed the setup from TKIP/WPA to AES-CCM/WPA to get the PHY address to 802.11N instead of 802.11G. I got the speeds working fine, but I suppose this caused an issue of people dropping off at different times. I noticed if I remove the SSID from the preferred list and reconnect it goes from WPA to WPA2. Not sure if this is relevant information, just trying to list what I can to resolve this issue. I haven't had any reported issues with the other Access Point(Access Point 1).
Another issue we have is getting the radio to work on 5GHz for Access Point 1. It seems when a user is connected to the 5GHz signal, it will not load any web pages. Can ping out just fine, and ping internally as well. I've checked to see if the client is getting an IP address, and it is. It also has DNS set to 8.8.8.8 and another DNS IP we use. The other Access Point seems to work just fine with 5GHz enabled. Both work with 2.4GHz with no issues at all.
Lastly, clients are not switching Access Points to the strongest signal. I've tried this test with 5+ machines running different OS's from Snow Leopard to Mt. Lion. The client will not switch over passively, the Laptop must be closed and reopened to re-establish the connection to grab the closest signal. This isn't a huge issue, but it's something I'd like to get fixed. This could have been an ongoing issue before I switched the AP's to AES-CCM, but I've only noticed it after the fact.
If there's any additional information needed that could help resolve these issues, let me know.
Thanks!

The wireless clients/devices decides which WAPs to join. It's not a "Cisco thing". It's the standard.
That's what I figured, it's just an issue we have been having lately and trying to rule out the possibility it might be an Access Point issue.
Did you enable WPA and WPA2??? Apple does not like to "choose". You have to either use WPA OR WPA2.
Actually, yes I should have included my steps of trying to resolve the issue. For some reason, the SSID would not appear in the listing of SSID's so I removed the preferred connection, which was WPA, and manually added it to be WPA2 Personal on the client. Still saw some issues with a few users, others seem to have rectified or they're not telling me.
I checked the event logs on the device and saw this:
Packet to client e0f8.4735.c16e reached max retries, removing the client
After some research, it was recommended to raise the packet retry value to 128. I haven't received any complaints from the 3 people that usually complain about dropped wifi yet, but it's still too soon to say.
The only thing I can think of is the signal strength. Disable the 2.4 Ghz and see what signal strength you are getting with the 5.0 Ghz.
It should not be signal strength since I am about 10 feet away on my test machine which has the issue as well as any other clients in any distance long enough to grab the connection. I will try turning off 2.4 when there's nobody in the office tomorrow in the morning to see if that actually works. I would like to have it dual band though since we're not all at 5GHz here. With this issue, I was actually fearing that there just may be an issue with the 5GHz radio hardware. We also have an extra 1140 laying around I used for testing; the 5GHz radio worked with identical settings to the one not working.
Thanks for the reply! I will take a look at what you suggested a little further and keep this updated if increasing the packet retry value actually rectified the problem just in case someone else has the same issue.

Cisco Aironet 1140: 3 of our 4 are always hanging

Our office has 4 Cisco Aironet 1140 access points mounted on the ceiling. They are all powered via PoE. Every few days 3 of the 4 access points hang and have to be rebooted. When they hang I am not able to connect to their web interface to check the logs. The fourth, for some reason, always seems to stay alive.
I checked the configuration for all AP's and "Hot Standby" is disabled
They are all using static IP addresses. I've tried 2 different banks of static IP addresses and 3 of 4 still hange so I don't think this is an IP conflict
I have saved the configurations and compared them and they are all identical, where possible.
They all have software version: 12.4(21a)JA1
They all have bootloader version: 12.4(23c)JA1
I have tried to download the latest software/firmware, but unfortunately I do not have a valid service contract in place with Cisco and therefore can't download the latest version. All of our CISCO hardware was purchased from Amazon resellers and they can't seem to help me with this. I have also tried to contact Cisco and they can't seem to help either. If anyone has a suggestion on how I can get a valid service contract that information would also be very helpful!!!
Does anyone have any ideas why 3 of our 4 access points would hang? When they hang, I can't login to the web interface and the logs seem to reset when I reset each access point. I have also set up an rsyslog server and I don't see a log entry that would indicate a problem.
Any ideas?
Thank you

Here is the config for one of the AP's that keeps hanging:

Aironet 1140 connection and log questions

Hi Cisco gurus,
Recently we decided to change the name of one of our Aironet 1140 AP's. Everything was great for a few days then, for some reason, nobody was able to connect to it. They would all recieve timeout messages when they would connect. A quick reset solved the problem, but I'm curious if there was an actual reason to why it didn't allow users to connect in case it happens again.
Which brings me to my next question, how do you set the AP clock so that the event logs display the proper date and time? I'm sure I overlooked something, but I can't find out how to set the proper date and time.
Thank you in advance.

AiroNet 1140 Authentication Issues Windows Server 2008 NPS

Hello,
We have an AiroNet 1140 AP that we are trying to configure RADIUS authentication. Our RADIUS server is a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 NPS server. Unfortunately, our Wi-Fi clients are unable to authenticate. We appear to have everything configured on the AP and RADIUS server correctly, but we receive the following errors from the debug on the AP. Doug
*Mar 14 05:46:58.413: RADIUS/DECODE: No response from radius-server; parse response; FAIL
*Mar 14 05:46:58.413: RADIUS/DECODE: Case error(no response/ bad packet/ op decode);parse response;
FAIL
*Mar 14 05:46:58.413: RADIUS/DECODE: No response from radius-server; parse response; FAIL
*Mar 14 05:46:58.413: RADIUS/DECODE: Case error(no response/ bad packet/ op decode);parse response;
FAIL

Hi Steve, Here is the config for the AP. Some screenshots of the NPS config are below, too. Please let me know if you need more information from our NPS server. Thanks, Doug

Aironet 1140 dhcp service

Hi,
I've set up an Aironet 1140 with 2 SSID's, but I am having trouble getting dhcp service working for these.
I've tried googling for answers, but can't really find anything.
The AP is set up with 3 vlan's and 3 BVI¨s. Vlan1 is the native Vlan, and the BVI1 interface is configured with an IP for management.
I've configured the two SSID's with seperate Vlan's and WPA2 PSK.
I've configured the BVI interface for each SSID Vlan with an IP, and created dhcp pools.
I have no trouble authenticating to each SSID, but I can't seem to retrieve an IP address.
Anyone got a sample configuration, or some tips as how this problem can be resolved.
Any help is much appreciated.
/Jeppe

You're going to need sub-interfaces for both the radio and the gi0 interface.
I don't think you need different BVI's, but you do need different bridge-groups.
So something like:
do0.1
encapsulation dot1q 1 native
bridge group 1
do0.2
encapsulation dot1q 2
bridge group 2
gi0.1
encapsulation dot1q 1 native
bridge group 1
gi0.2
encapsulation dot1q 2
bridge group 2....
If you don't have the gi0 subinterfaces, then nothing is bridging to the wired network..... Just post your config when you get it.

Cisco Aironet 1140 Association

All,
Quick question about the association web interface tab on a 1140. I have noticed that the Device Type shows as "unknown" and the Name shows as "NONE." Anyone have a clue as to why? Thanks for any help!
Dave

Any resolution on this?
We have about 20 Cisco Aironet APs and they all show the same, Device type unknown, Name NONE
