Belkin Wireless G Universal Range Extender/Access Point (F5D7132UK)

Hi
Anyone have experience using AEs with this Belkin product?
I have followed the instructions and the Belkin seems to work as described in the manual BUT after about 5 mins or so 3 out of 4 of my AEs disappear from Airport Admin Util and the corresponding speakers are not available via itunes.
Thanks

Sorted the problem. There was nothing wrong with the Edimax repeater or the printer. I had sited the printer on the shelf under the TV in the conservatory. Above the shelf is a sky box with a 2.4 Gig AV transmitter connected to it (to send Sky TV to the kitchen). Powering off the AV transmitter allowed a connection to the repeater. For info the separation between the AV transmitter and the printer was around 250mm. I have now moved the AV transmitter away from the printer (by connecting it via a scart lead rather than directly to the sky box).
Wireless printer up and running!

Using Belkin Dual-Band Wirleless Range Extender with Apple Ipad Air

Can I use the above Belkin Range Extender with the Apple Ipad on wi-fi? If so, which port do I hook up the extender to on the ipad? Thanks.

I wanted to chime in on this thread with my experince as it came up in a Google search while i had the same problem.
I actually got this working with an e4200v2 but only after hours of headache and dealing with tech support (both chat and phone)
First, I can tell you that support was nearly usless for me...the chat representative actually SIGNED OUT of chat after her intial troubleshooting steps failed to fix my problem. (This was not from lack of politeness or understanding on my end, I know it's just people trying to do their job.)
Phone support was much more thurough but still just walked me through steps I had already done on my own previously (I was formally a network tech.) This included running manual setup both wired to my e4200v2 and wireleslly. Attempting different channels and moving the RE1000 to various spots in my house. Their conclusion was that i needed to RMA the device.
THE ACTUAL PROBLEM:
It turns out the issue (for me at least) was not that the RE1000 was too weak but that the e4200v2 was too strong. The devices in my house that I wanted to use the RE1000 for were already getting roughly 2-3 bars (out of 5) signal and as such were not connecting to the RE1000. This means that even though the setup completed "successfuly" I wasn't getting any singal or speed improvement.
THE FIX:
So the way I ended up getting this to work was to run the setup software with the device in a location of my house were the RE1000 was only getting about 2-3 bars of service. (You can check this in the RE1000s firmware under "wireless").
I now have full signal and good speeds throughout my house.
I don't know if this is specific to the e4200v2 or just any router with a strong signal but my suggestion for fellow e4200v2 owners is to basically run setup with this guy as far away from your router (but within signal range) as possible.
Cheers,

Can I reuse my old Belkin wireless router as an extender to extend wifi from Time Capsule?

I plan to buy the new Time Capsule and use it as my wireless router. Would it be possible to use my existing Belkin Play router as an extender of the "new" wireless netword provided by the Time Capsule?

Apple designed the "extend a wireless network" function as a proprietary feature to only work with other Apple routers, so it would be extremely unlikely that a Belkin product would be compatible with the Time Capsule if you want to extend the network wirelessly.
If you can connect the Belkin router to the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection, you should be able to configure the Belkin router to provide more wireless coverage that way.

Locating failed wireless login attempts and which access point they're hitting

We have a cisco 5508 WLC with about 190 access points. They use Cisco Secure ACS to authenticate Microsoft Active Directory logins. We sometimes get non-normal accounts attempting to login to our wireless but are unable to figure out which access point they're hitting.
When I look at the failed attempts in our Cisco Secure ACS 5.5 Radius Authentications report, I don't see an IP address, just the MAC address of the failing device. Is their a way to configure either the WLC or the ACS box to report either the IP address or MAC address of the access point they're connecting to?

Is this something I need to set the ACS or WLC to send? When I go to Other attributes in the "Authentications - RADIUS - Today" report, this is all I'm currently seeing.
Other Attributes:
ACSVersion=acs-5.5.0.46-B.723
ConfigVersionId=3
DetailedInfo=Invalid username or password specified, Retry is allowed

I have a Netgear WNR2000 router and an Edimax EW-7438RPn wifi range extender. I have gotten the range extender to work well with my MacBook Air, however, while my iPhone 3Gs and iPad mini can pick up the wireless signal from the range extender, they cannot get to the Internet through it. No IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, or DNS appear in the details on either the iPhone or the iPad mini. How do I get the iPhone and the iPad to connect to the Internet. It seems that the problem is with the iPhone and iPad, since the MacBook Air works just fine with this set up.

Junglemania,
Go into the setup page of the EW-7438RPn. Go to Wireless Advanced Settings. There is a WMM settings. Make sure the WMM is enabled.
This may help you out.

ISE deployment in wireless infra without WLC (only Access Point 1240AG)

Hello All,
I am having access point 1240AG and planning to deploy ISE as a exteral radius server. I would like to know how deifferent authorization policy need to configure in AP/ISE. Whether I can use named ACL or VLANs (CoA) as a enforcement types without use of WLC. If yes then how?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can perform COA on standalone APs you will need to have an inline posture node in order to reap the benefits of COA, you may have heard this from any vpn related deployments. If you are in the design phase of this project, you may want to purse controllers because the latest rumor is that the inline posture node may be dropped since Cisco is planning on supporting coa on all their devices once the 9.x code drops for the ASAs. However please contact your Cisco rep for an official response.
Here is the footnote in the following link: "Autonomous AP deployments (no WLC) also require deployment of an Inline Posture Node for posture support."

Third Party Signal Repeaters/Wireless Extenders for Boosting Cisco Access Points Indoors

We are have some buildings that have access points (Cisco 2602e with 6dBi Terrawave omni antennas) in the hallways, in which the clients residing in rooms aren't receiving a strong enough signal to connect at suitable rates. The main reason for this is the large thick doors utilized for the client rooms reducing the strength of the signal, and we weren't authorized to place APs inside the rooms. Nor are we able to modify the structure of the building, such as changing the doors. We can't ask or expect the clients to keep their doors open to rcv a stronger signal. I've tweaked the Tx power for the APs, and lowered the mandatory rates on the WLC for this location under the RF profile created for it, but this isn't resolving the issue with the weak signal.
One band aid solution idea was to place signal repeaters (low profile) inside each room, behind the wall/door area facing the hallway. I've seen a few third party products online, but they seem to only come in support of the 2.4GHz band. If this is a feasible solution, then it looks like we wouldn't be able to support clients on the 5GHz band on our AP, as clients would most likely connect to the 2.4 GHz band due to a stronger signal, limiting our load balancing on the AP. Anyone have experience with using signal repeaters that work properly with Cisco APs.
Not the ideal situation, but have the hands strapped on what we can do.

If you've got a WLC, then disable TPC and crank up the power to full.

Windows 7 or 8 shows the wireless client connected to the access point but the wireless icon displays "No connection to the internet

I have seen the same issue working with a different vendors wireless solution. When I sniffed the air with OmniPeek and the network the ap was on with WireShark, I see the arp request for the gateway go to the router, the reply from
the gateway router is sent out to the suspect machine in the air, the PC ack's the packet but never populates the arp cache. I have looked at both arp responses in a working vs failing scenario, both packets are the same.
The only way I have been able to resolve it was to disable IP Helper (start up too) from Services, reboot the machine. I was seeing 3 to 4 drops per day but since disabling this Service the machines I have been testing with have not seen the
issue again.
IP Helper:
Provides tunnel connectivity using IPv6 transition technologies (6to4, ISATAP, Port Proxy, and Teredo), and IP-HTTPS. If this service is stopped, the computer will not have the enhanced connectivity benefits that these technologies offer.
Machines Tested and Fixed:
Lenovo E540
Lenovo W540
Acer Aspire One
Dell Latitude E6420
The ip helper service change was made on 40 laptops, a dozen of which would fail in about an hour. So far 0 out of the 40 has seen the issue since making the change and rebooting (rebooting is key after the disable) the laptops. It's
been about 5 days.
Any reason why disabling this Service fixes the issue? With it on I can replicate the issue pretty quickly on a few different machine types so it does not seem to be driver or wireless nic vendor specific. I've checked through the
event viewer logs but nothing seems to be triggered during the time of the issue. Using the troubleshooter or disconnecting from the wireless service will fix the issue for only a short time.

Belkin Wireless Range Extender (F5D7132)?

I've just bought a Belkin Wireless G Universal Range Extender (model: F5D7132) and am trying to get it to extend the range of our D-Link wireless network.
According to Belkin's installation guide, I simply need to place the unit next to my current wireless modem/router, hold down an 'Auto Connect Button' for 10 seconds, and the Belkin unit will then automatically extend the range of the D-Link.
Sadly, this hasn't happened, and Belkin's help pages are of zero use.
Does anybody have this unit? If so, are you able to point me in the correct direction to connect the unit to wirelessly extend my D-Link unit?

Hello, thanks BDAcqua, it is encouraging to hear from you. I will try to clarify the problem I am having. It is fairly simple to describe: Whenever I place my laptop within range of our Access Point(repeater), my Internet connection fails, server fails, etc., everything fails concerning Internet access, even though my Airport is showing full reception of the wireless signal. The wireless signal is coming through loud and clear, I am just unable to use it for anything whatsoever. Only if I remove my laptop from the range of the AP and place myself close to the 'main' wireless router am I able to go online(wirelessly). I can go online with Airport successfully anywhere I get reception except with the new AP we have set up here. The new AP at present works fine only with Windows OS.
I tried what you suggest in your reply and entered the two DNS server numbers, but no change yet.
I can still just get online if I stay very close to our primary router's signal. Any idea what I could try next? I did connect to Apple at router, but not at the AP.
Does this define the problem I'm having more clearly?
Thanks, jb

Need help finding wired access point or range extender?

I currently have a EA6500 in a rather large home. (4500 sq ft) The router is on one side of the house and my office is on the other side of the house where wireless does not work well. I am trying to use Samsung Tablet but the connection keeps dropping here. when I move the tablet closer it works fine.
Is there a range extender/access point I can purchase to use with the EA6500 where I can connect device via wired ethernet?
If I connect range extender/access point to EA6500 router via wireless the signal in my office appears too weak to be extended properly? I tried the RE1000 but was not successful.
Please let me know if there is another product to try.
Thank you.

Was this extender working fine before and you’re trying to reconfigure its settings? In order for this to work properly, the wireless settings for the main router should be synchronized to it. After making sure that the wireless settings are synchronized, place the extender to an area in between the router and where you want to repeat the signal. If you will encounter connection problems after setting up the extender, you can reset the extender and reconfigure the settings. Make sure as well that the firmware is upgraded. For more info about setting up the range extender, you can refer to the following links: What to do before manually setting up your range extender, Setting up the range expander without the installation CD, Getting to Know the WRE54G v3.

Roaming between RV220W wireless router and WAP121 Access Point

Hello, I have recently purchased a RV220W wireless router and a WAP121 access point and i would like to allow my users to "roam" between the two networks as needed (so when the user is closer to whichever one they connect to that one since it has a better signal). For the most part I only have experience in cisco IOS and in actual routers not the wireless stuff so my knowledge has not exactly transfered over well.

William,
WDS will not work between the RV220W and WAP121 due to incompatible chipsets. The RV220W can be repeated using WDS by another RV220W or RV180W only. You will need to plug the WAP121 into the RV220W or try WorkGroup Bridge mode to repeat the signal.
Regarding roaming, the router or AP are not aware of each other and do not have the capability to disconnect a client and help them connect to the AP with the stronger signal. The client will switch to the stronger AP only when the original signal is lost.
The Aironet (enterprise) devices have the ability to utilize a wireless LAN controller which can help keep devices connected to the stronger signal and allow truly seamless roaming between APs.

Lightweight access-point joined the wireless controller but no radio channels

a customer wireless controller 2106 he use access-point AIR-LAP1252G-E-K9 the access point the leds indicate
etherner and radio is blinking green and status is green.
please help i am in the customer company now

The AP1252 has higher power requirements than some of the Cisco PoE switches provide. Depending on the switch you are plugging them into you will get enough power to power up the device and connect to a controller but not enough to power up the antennas. Options that can work include:
1) Removing one of the antennas if you are not gonig to use it (or as a temporary workaround to get some wireless)
2) Using an external power supply
3) Using an external inline power appliance system that supplies enough power (http://www.microsemi.com/powerdsine/ is one example).
4) Depending on the type of switch you are connecting to you may be able to upgrade code to provide a higher amount of power to the port. For instance, a Catalyst 6500 by default supplies 15.8 watts of power to a port. But if you upgrade the code to 12.2(33)SXH2? I believe you can get 16.8 watts of power and this is enough to bring up both antennas on the AP. But even then you don't have enuf power to run the upper N speeds - I think anything above 72 Mbps is unattainable.
Other AP models such as the 1140 have lower power requirements and may work better for you.

Wireless range extender

I am connecting wirelessly using a range extender and am finding media streaming a problem. When I connect direct to the router everything is fine, but media is slow and buffers going through the range extender. I can't find a problem, tried various different channels but no joy. My download speed is the same though the extender too.

New device is N so it can do more I know.
Should I upgrade verizon Fios router?

E3000 Wireless Bridging to a Belkin Wireless Router

I need some help to setup a WIRELESS BRIDGE. I got a new E3000 which works great so far for my basic wireless and LAN needs. But I want to use my old Belkin wireless router (G) as a bridge to connect my BD-Live Blu-ray player and any other wired devices in that location of the living room. The Belkin router is access point / wireless bridging capable. I have the E3000 setup for DHCP, starting address at 192.168.1.100, and 50 users. I've set the 2.4GHz Channel to 9 (equal to the Belkin router).
Am I supposed to put the Belkin in Access Point mode and enable wireless bridging? Or disable access point mode and only use wireless bridging, and disable the routing functions (DHCP, etc).
Am I supposed to manually add a client (the Belkin) under the "DHCP Reservation" with the IP I give it under access point mode? Should this IP address be inside or outside the DHCP range?
This should be a good start. I'm sure there will be questions.
My first question is: Should I

Your questions would be better in a Belkin forum. Basically, the E3000 is working and all configuration necessary has to happen on the Belkin.
I don't know the Belkin you probably won't be able to use it at as access point and bridge. Thus, I would say you have to configure it as wireless bridge only. It should also not do any routing/IP network related functions, in particular it should not operate as DHCP server or NAT router. When properly bridge, everything should be connected on ethernet level.
The IP address of the belkin itself has the only purpose for configuration. A wireless bridge would not require any IP address for its basic function of wireless bridging. Of course, as most people use IP most devices have web interfaces or other configuration interfaces based on IP.
Thus, you could either assign a static IP address on the Belkin or use DHCP and assign it either with DHCP reservation or a free DHCP IP address. The latter obviously makes it more difficult to access the web interface of the Belkin, if necessary.
I would recommend to set a static IP address on the belkin itself. This is more stable, e.g. in a case where the E3000 is not responsive after a power failure when everything is booting up.
Static IP addresses and reserved IP addresses should be assigned outside the general purpose DHCP address pool.

Which model of Access Point is suitable?

I need to suggest an access point for my office My office is around 100 meter square and there are about 15 to 20 staffs working insides need to use wireless connection their notebook. Please suggest a model of access point which is capable for my situation.

How about you use a wireless router instead of an access point? Wireless routers have better wireless capability and have better features. Linksys has the WAP300N access point which is also a combo of four modes. Namely:
Access Point: create a new wireless network or upgrade your existing to wireless-N
Range Extender: increase existing wireless coverage
Media Connector: Connect your HD TV or games consoles or Blu-ray player or other internet enabled devices to your network using the ethernet port
Bridge: Wirelessly join multiple networks together
