Wireless non-cisco router with aironet 1242 repeater.

Hello everyone. I'm a newbie here. I just started learning about cisco devices. Sorry if my question seems stupid.
I have a problem. A friend gave me an AP aironet 1242 and he wants to use it as a repeater for his wireless non cisco router.
Is this possible? And if it is how can i do it with simple steps.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick response Scott. I 've read this quide before i post.
The problem is that i can't connect with serial to the ap. So i can't use commands.
I can connect with ethernet and see the ap interface. When i go and make the radio0 work as a repeater it shows interface down. What i want is simple steps of how to configure it from the interface.
Sorry again.

Bridge link with two aironet 1242

Hi to all,
I want to connect with wireless devices two buildings, one in front of another.
Short distance (about 20 meters) and no obstacles.
I have a couple of aironet 1242 and i was wondering if it would be possible to setup this link with this equipment.
could WGB be the solution?
thank you very much

WGB could work, if you do not need to extend multiple VLAN across the link, and you have less than, I want to say 200, devices.
What you might want to look into is Root/ non-Root bridging.

Aironet 350 Wireless Bridge Problem

I have inherited a wireless link between two building that used a pair of Aironet 350 wireless bridges. I say used because one took a lightning strike and is fried. I need to see the configuration on the remaining bridge to set up the new bridge but no one knows the user name or password to access the remaining functioning 350. How do I reset this old buzzard? I have tried all the instructions I have found on this site and others. There is no reset button. I found this out by disassembling another Aironet 350 we had which has also taken a strike. I cannot set up the new 1300 without knowing the config of what it will be talking to. I have been able to connect to the 350 with a serial cable and I can see some of the information. But the only thing I get is the ip address for fe0. I have attached the file I captured to this post. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

If you know the IP of the 350, put a laptop on the same subnet and use a crossover cable to web to its GUI. VxWorks CLI sucks!
If you can get hold of a pair of 1231 APs, they can be configured to run in bridge mode and use the same antennas as the 350s. Benefits are IOS and G radios.

Why is my wireless disconnecting frequently when using Safari but not Firefox.

Ever since upgrading to the latest Apple Software on my iMac, I have been experiencing wireless disconnection but just on Safari. Also HTML images in emails are not loading. Firefox works fine.

Hi Sebaz, first try repairing permissions. Go to Applications-->Utilities-->select Disk Utility. Select your drive then select the First Aid button then at the bottom right click Verify Disk and after it verifies your drive click on Verify Disk Permissions on the left. If there any errors click on Repair Disk Permission. Reboot your machine and test your Safari to see if the issue comes back.

Aironet 1300 wireless Bridges connection loss, help!

Hi,
We have 2 Cisco Aironet 1300 wireless bridges with yaggi antennas.
The connection drops sometimes (every 2 or 3 days) and never comes up again.
When we reboot the non-root bridge the connection works again. We swapped the complete unit but still the same.
For logs see attached file.
What can be the problem? The antennas are not aligned correctly?
Thx in advance
greetings,
Marc

How long is the path and what were the results of the survey?
Were the connectors waterproofed?
Please describe the sytem from the bridge to the antenna including cable type, length, path, outdoors, indoors etc.

Server 2008 R2 RADIUS Server with a Cisco Aironet 1040 Wireless AP

I am trying to get Server 2008 R2 RADIUS Server to work with a Cisco Aironet 1040 Wireless AP. I have installed the RADIUS server by MS standards and performed some searches on Google to configure the Cisco Aironet. I see others using a Wireless LAN Controller, which I do not have. I found this post below:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11546056/wlc-2504-radius-2008-r2-server
But I have yet to locate a good step by step document on how to set it up and I have found so many different ways that others have set it up, but none have yet to work. I am having authentication issues that I have know of and I do not see any errors in the Windows Event Viewer and I do not know where the Acess Point stores it logs for any sort of error. Keep in mind this is the first time I am doing this. I do not have a Wireless LAN Controller and all my network / domain services are on individually built servers and not on one single server as I have seen with most of the documentation they all say the same thing by putting the Certificate Services, Domain Services (AD / ADS, etc), and NPS. I do not want that configuration and my setup should not be any different, but something is not right. I know from reading that this is not rocket science, but from someone who has never done it before this is difficult as I keep reading on and so many people do it different ways including what I have been reading according to what Cisco says to configure in the environment. Does anyone know where I can find good step by step documentation along with where I can look for logs on either device? I find that all the documentation I see on Cisco's website and from searching that it is old and outdated and not been updated in a long time so it is hard to determine what works and what does not work. I am stumped here and have been doing this for several weeks now with no luck. Thank you in advance.

I did configure the Server 2008 R2 RADIUS Server using this video below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-0MM_tK-Tk
I also referenced Technet to make sure it was configured correctly as well. I am still not sure if I am 100% setup correctly on the Windows Server side, but I for sure want to make sure I have the AP side setup correctly. Do you know of a better article for the Windows Server 2008 R2 setup? Does it matter that I do not have all the services installed on the same server? Instead I have them installed on multiple servers.
I have image number c1140-k9w7-tar.124.25d.JA1 on the AP. The part that confused me in that article, which I have seen before was the part about "Setting up access point must be configured in the authentication server as an AAA client." What is the AAA Client? I also am not aware of having Cisco Secure ACS anywhere built into the AP as that part through me off completely. Do I need to skip these steps? Thank you for help on this.

WRT54G V8.2 Wireless disconnecting

Hello, I have recently updated my firmware for my router and ever since (might be a coincidence or not) my wireless will disconnect and my router's page is also unaccessable at that point. I can still see my wireless network and when I attempt to connect it just stays on connecting for a long time.
I have another computer connected by wire and this computer never loses connection. When my wireless stops working that wired computer can no longer access the router home page either.
The whole problem is quickly fixed by unplugging my router (power cord) and replugging. At that point everything returns to normal for a while (6-7 hours possibly more or less). It starts all over by my wireless disconnecting.
Securities I have setup:
My laptop is quite old so the only wireless protection I can offer is WEP128 (Which is enabled)
I also have MAC filters on the wireless only enabling computers with a MAC address in the list to connect to the router.
Please help not sure what the problem is and it is getting a little annoying.
Thanks

You need to hard reset your router for 1 minute...
Press and hold the reset button for 1 minute...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 1 minute and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...Also do the Advance Wireless Settings...
On the router set-up click on Wireless tab and change the channel to 11 and save the settings...
Click on the subtab "Advanced Wireless settings"
Change the Beacon Interval to 75...
Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304...
Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 and click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...If you still face the same problem you should get your router replaced...

Tx1000, when wireless disconnects, have to restart computer

I have an HP pavillion tx1000 (Windows Vista) that I bought in Dec 07. Every time the wireless disconnects, I have to restart my computer to get it to resconnect to my wireless again. It will disconnect from my wireless whether I'm using my computer or not. I know it is not a problem with my wireless, since I do not have problems with anything else connected to my wireless. I have changed the wireless client. updated the driver and tried disable and enable the wireless, yet nothing works except restarting the computer. The computer does tend to get hot, but I have it on a laptop fan and the wireless disconnects regardless of how long my computer has been on.

i have exact same problem with my tx1000... could you please let me know if you resolved this issue?

Aironet 1242 seems dead - just a light red led status

Hello,
For an Aironet 1242 who's no more covered with a SMARTnet contract.
Symptoms are the same whatever power-injector, power supply or via PoE switch.
Just one led.
A permanent red led (light red) on the status, nothing else.
No reaction on the console port.
Is that device dead ?

Hi
With symptoms looks like device is dead and needs to be replaced.

E3200 - Wireless disconnects and slow speed

I bought the E3200 in order to replace my "old" and "outdated" networking equipment, which happens to consist of a Linksys WAP54g access point, connected to a Netgear RT311 router. That old setup has worked reliably for years, and with decent speed. However, I have noticed my wireless connections dropping off every now and then, to the tune of a few times a week, and thought that it might be time to get new N-based equipment.
The E3200 arrived last night, so I installed it right away. Installation was actually a breeze! But, that is the ONLY reason I even gave this unit more than the minimum of one star. I was able to get this router up and running, and connected to my cable modem, in no time. And then, connecting all of our wireless devices to it was pretty quick too. Thus ends the good part of this review...
I worked from home today, as I do fairly regularly, and NEVER in all of my days of doing so have I had so many wireless disconnects! My work laptop is a year-old Lenovo W500 running Win7 Enterprise 64-bit, souped up with lots of memory and hard drive space. Like I said, only recently had I noticed any sort of drop-offs when talking to my 802.11g AP. Well, it seemed like every ten minutes my laptop would get disconnected today talking to the new 802.11n AP/Router. Isn't N-based equipment, and this E3200 in particular, supposed to be really fast and reliable? This one certainly isn't! Oh, I've only complained about the reliability part so far... Trust me, the SPEED is terrible too! While my laptop's wireless connection in Windows was telling me that I was connected at between 117 and 130Mbps pretty regularly, there is no way that can be true! I am a programmer, so I am connected to the office over VPN every day, and we use Microsoft's TFS for our source code. Over my G connection, the code came over pretty quickly. Over the N connection today, it was DOG slow! I mean REALLY bad! Took forever to get my source code! And, web pages seemed to load really slow all day! Just loading this page to write this review seemed to take a lifetime!
I really think this thing only deserves one star, and that being for the ease of the setup. But, since one is the minimum, I gave it two. As to the value for the money? Not there. This unit isn't cheap. I paid a little more to get a better quality product, but I am left disappointed.
My intent here is not to slam the Linksys product really. I have been using a Linksys wireless-g access point for years, and I love it! However, I want to (a) warn other of my experience, and (b) see if anybody has any ideas as to how this can be fixed, perhaps. Maybe the out-of-the-box configuration always behave this way, and it just needs some tweaking??? I hope so, but I doubt it. And if this is not merely a matter of a little tweaking, I intend to return this router, and reconnect my old, faithful equipment.
-- UPDATE --
I am sitting within a few inches of this lousy router with my laptop, trying to tweak its settings via the web interface. The wireless connection is still really slow, and keeps timing out. I could probably plug in to the GB port, but the purpose of this exercise was to see if the connection problems were due to distance and walls. Apparently, they were not. Sigh...

Although I am not the aforementioned Scott, my experience with the E3200 has been very similar. What lead me to do something about it and find this thread was the constant wireless dropping. Working from home and having the connection come and go multiple times a day will motivate a person.
This started happening after having the E3200 for 4 months. I did the firmware upgrade, but not the reset/reconfigure, and things cleared up for another 3 months. Then shortly after having the new Dish Network Hopper/Joey system installed, the problem came back. Not sure if it had anything to do with it but that was the only thing that changed in my environment.
The Hopper/Joey is Ethernet wired to the E3200 via a MoCA bridge and does add additional network traffic. Also there is a ZigBee wireless remote which may or may not be causing additional interference.
Regardless, I did the recommended 30 second reset and reconfigure including picking channels for both wireless types. Everything is back up and running good so far. Fingers crossed.

Wireless disconnection

My Macbook's wireless connection will stop working after some hours of non-interactive use. For instance, last night I was playing an audio book as I went to sleep and when I woke up it was still playing but my wireless connection was gone. I had to manually re-attach to my wireless network.
One interesting entry in the system.log:
Jul 22 05:55:12 Eloise kernel[0]: ATHR: beacon miss causing loss of connection
I have a Linksys 802.11g wireless router. I don't remember seeing this problem with my Powerbook G4. The Macbook/Linksys combo is screaming fast most of the time, and my Macbook seems to have terrific wireless reception (it shows many more wireless networks than the Powerbook or even my wife's iBook can see).
Any ideas?
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1 GB RAM, 80 GB HD, Superdrive

Hi Batmensch -
If you can get access to your router's config, try this - set the channel to anything other than the default.
I had the same problem, and it seemed to spread to my wife's PC on the same LAN. PC & Mac with the same problem - sounded fishy!
There are four wireless networks that I can detect from my desk, so I wondered if they were somehow interfering. So I reset the channel on my router from the default 11 to 7, and Hey Presto! no more wireless disconnection.

Wireless Disconnection issue with WRT160N v3

Hi Everyone,
I'm having trouble with my new WRT160N v3 router.
It's currently updated with firmware Ver.3.0.02 Build 3.
My setup is as follows:
Wired connection: 2-Desktop Computers & 1-Xbox 360.
Wireless connection: 1-Laptop, 1-Xbox 360, 1-Platstation 3, 1-PSP & 1-Wii.
The issue is that EVERYTHING connected wirelessly disconnects after a short period of time in use, whether I'm doing work on my laptop or gaming (and all my consoles are connected wirelessly) - everything disconnects.
Another thing is that there always seems to be a loss in reception and the router is just in the other room (approx. 10 meters away).
I sat and I configured the router's wireless settings over and over again with all kinds of settings, but it just doesn't seem to help.
What is going on with this router? it's very problematic because a lot of people are complaing about the same issue.
I especially went out to buy a new router and ended up buying this sad router that really gets a person upset.
It's really frustrating being in the middle of a multiplayer game when you get disconnect because of a router that can't even keep it's wireless connectivity up, and this issue happens on every single piece of hardware I have that connects wirelessly.
Has anybody got any suggestions regarding this issue or some or other wat to solve it?
Thanks for all the help!

Try to readjust the Wireless settings on the router...
Open the linksys setup page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar.Reduce the MTU size to 1365 and click on save settings. Now,Click on Wireless tab and change the Channel Width to 20GHz only and Channel to 11.Click on subtab Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on Save Settings.
