Cisco ap3700 802.11ac wireless brigde

Can i use the 3702e with ios software and a directional antenne as an 802.11ac wireless bridge for inter-building connectivity ? What is the expected speed of a wireless bridge link with a typical inter-building distance of 40 to 60 m ?

Product information has not yet released to say this AP model can use as wireless bridge. Typically 3700 AP is not target for wireless bridge solution. Here is the datasheet available for this product.

    A common question we are asked is 'why is my device not achieving 11ac data rates?'
    One of the most common answers relates to client compatibility/capability. To get the highest possible data rates of 11ac (assuming proper distance and RF health), the AP and the client device must both be capable supporting the requirements - 5GHZ, 80MHz Channel, short guard interval, 3 spatial streams. Each spatial stream has a max of 433.3Mb/s (at 80MHz, short GI).
    The majority of 11ac-capable wireless cards on the market do not support 3 spatial streams. Most adapters in wireless-capable devices are 1SS or 2SS.  For example, the Intel 7260 11ac adapter used in many devices is a 2SS adapter - therefore it's max possible data rate is 866.7.  Another common adapter in use is the 11ac Broadcom 3SS that Apple uses in the newer Macbooks.  These devices can achieve the 1.3GBs PHY data rate.
    This guidance is the same for 11n adapters as well.  To achieve max rate, your 11n AP and adapter must both support 40MHz channels, 3SS, short GI.
    Note: The 11n and 11ac standards both define support for 4SS.  4SS-capable devices are rare, so 3SS is essentially our reality.
    One of the most useful references for questions related to this topic is the AP Data Sheet for each AP.  Here's the AP3700 for example:
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/3700-series-access-point/data_sheet_c78-729421.html
    Table 1 lists the expected data rate per MCS Index value by #SS at each channel width and GI. Indexes 0-7 are the same for 11n and 11ac (11n limited to 40MHz channels of course).  And MCS 8 & 9 are 11ac-only 256-QAM modulations. 

  • Speed Tests Results for 802.11ac Wireless Connections

    Using the new Apple MacBook Air with 802.11ac wireless, I tested copying a file and a folder to both the new 802.11ac AirPort Extreme router housing a USB-connected hard disk and the less recent 802.11n Apple AirPort Extreme router housing a similar USB-connected hard disk.
    The results of the tests are summarized in the table below. The movie file was ripped from a DVD movie, and the Microsoft folder is simply the Microsoft Office 2011 folder in my Applications folder containing 14,231 items.
    The MacBook Air computer was located 6–8 feet away from each router with no intervening obstructions. While this was not a scientific test, it demonstrated to me that 802.11ac wireless is clearly superior to 802.11n in a real world setting. I assume that the lower relative performance of 802.11ac versus 802.11n for the large folder containing many files is due to overhead in copying and writing files from and to the hard disks. Ditto for the Gigabit Ethernet test.

    Great resource for speedtesting: www.speedtest.net

  • Unable to connect dell xps 802.11ac laptop to cisco 1250 AP?

    I have a new dell xps 15inc with the dell 802.11ac wireless card but it will not connect to the Cisco 1250 AP, however it connect to other APs just fine. I wondering if the Cisco 1250 AP is just to old and if there is any documentation proving this.
    Thanks ahead of time.

    On the dell wireless card, what happens if you force the card to use 802.11 a/b/g only and disable 802.11n/ac?

  • I have a new MBRP. On wired ethernet it can be used as a wireless hotspot. Since 802.11ac gets better range I'd like to use it with 802.11ac as a hotspot for my older 802.11g/ndevices. Can I do that ?

    I know that if I use wired ethernet then the  MBRP can be a wirelss hotspot for other devices. Since the MBRP supports 802.11ac and I have a new 802.11ac wireless router it gets much better range than my older 802.11/n devices.  There are places in teh house where the MBRP connects to the wireless but where older 802.11g/n devices lare out of range. In those rooms I'd like to use my MBRP connected to the network wirelessly using 802.11ac as a hotspot for the nearby 802.11 g/n devices. Anyone know if that can be done and how to do it ?

    Turn on Internet Sharing in Sharing preferences. Share the Ethernet connection to wireless.

  • Linksys WUMC710 bridge crashes Airport Extreme (802.11ac) network

    I have just bought the Linksys/Cisco WUMC710 802.11ac bridge to use with my Apple Airport Extreme (the 802.11ac). After resolving some channel related issues getting the Linksys to see the network, I now find that after about 30 seconds of having the Linksys on the wireless network, it causes the Airport to go into an error mode (orange flashing light) and the whole wireless and wired network (running through the Airport) fluctuates or disappears entirely. Powering down the Linksys restores everything back to normal.
    I am on latest Airport firmware, and v1.0.1 for the Linksys. The Linksys is about 5m away from the Airport at the moment. Security is WPA2 personal.
    Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

    Hello
    I tried to set the WUMC710 (Firmware 1.00.18) and Airport time Capsule 2TB (Firmware 7.7.3) and I could not in any of the ways ...
    Any solution??
    The Time Capsule Airport every time you connect the Linksys restarts ... because?
    Thanks

  • 802.11ac wifi speeds with the BCM4360 chip and broadcom-wl driver

    Hello,
    First, some preliminary information:
    I'm currently in need of a wireless adapter for my desktop computer. I recently got an Asus RT66U router, so I'm looking for a wireless adapter that supports the 802.11ac standard. The best candidate I've come across is the Asus PCE-AC68, and PCIe based adapter that uses Broadcom's BCM4360 chip, the same wifi chip used in the Late 2013 retina Macbook Pro. It is worth noting that every available 802.11ac compatible PCIe based wireless adapter seemingly uses this chip (I've heard of people having success with 802.11ac speeds using Qualcomm Atheros based wifi adapters and the ath10k driver, but there are no Atheros-based PCIe wireless adapters on the market, as far as I can tell).
    The Broadcom BCM4360 chip is not supported by the b43 driver, and I believe it also isn't supported by the brcmsmac driver, since it isn't listed here.
    This leaves me with the proprietary broadcom-wl driver, which is listed as supporting the BCM4360.
    What I'm interested in learning is how a wireless adapter based on the BCM4360 will perform using the broadcom-wl driver--I don't want to buy a wifi adapter that won't work at its full capacity, after all.
    I have found user reports here and here from April 2014 stating that the driver runs BCM4360 based adapters in 802.11a/b/g mode and doesn't allow 802.11n and 802.11ac connections to be made. On the other hand, this user (in a post from June) states that he managed to get ac speeds in Arch simply by changing his router settings. Unfortunately, he doesn't detail what changes he made.
    I'm hopeful that the driver was simply updated between April and June and that now BCM4360-based wifi adapters can run at 802.11ac speeds, but as it's closed source, I can't check the commits, and have not been able to find any discussion more recent than what I linked above.
    Has anyone had success getting 802.11ac speeds with BCM4360-based wifi adapters and the broadcom-wl driver?

    I am currently using the BCM4360 (rev 03) in a MacBook Pro. You are correct in that it does not work with the b43 driver. It mostly works with the proprietary wl driver. I am using the broadcom-wl AUR package. I can confirm that 802.11n works. I am connected right now at 324Mbps (3 .11n spatial streams). I have not tried 802.11ac yet. I will soon, so I will report back.
    As for the caveats, it doesn't like 802.1X networks very much. To get it working using wpa_supplicant, I have to reload the wl module. Sometimes when I reload it, it comes back as wlan0 instead of wlp3s0. No idea why. Yet, when I tried it with Network Manager on an Ubuntu live environment, it worked fine. YMMV. It always works fine for me at home on a WPA2-PSK network. If I can pin down something with more consistency, I'll let you know.
    For reference:
    $ lspci -vnn | grep Network
    03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)
    According to kernel.org, BCM4360 could be either 14e4:4360 or 14e4:43a0

  • G6t-2000 CTO 802.11ac compatible?

    Hello!
    posted this in the wrong forum before. figured id give here a try. 
    i was just wonder if theres a mini PCI card for my G6T-2000 CTO that supports 802.11ac. all i could find was an intel one but i wasnt sure if it'll work. the model numbers Intel 7260HMW IEEE 802.11AC. link below.
    Intel 7260HMW IEEE 802.11AC
    Thank you!

    Nope. If you put that in your computer it will refuse to boot up. TMK, there is not an 802.11ac wireless card offered by HP at this point, and they will not issue BIOS for older machines allowing use of 802.11ac adapters once they do start offering them on newer machines.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11ac local dns not resolving

    I have an AirPort Extreme 802.11ac wireless router that I cannot get to resolve local dns names and entries. Everything else is working perfectly, even external dns resolution, but any local dns hostname does not resolve. I can ping the ip addresses of all local systems, I just cannot resolve them. I have checked all configurations and they are set correctly. Please help

    Update:
    Setting the AE in Bridge Mode works fine.
    Because the dns is then moved to the main router.
    Apple are bent on removing as much as possible from even what little was available in 5.6 utility.. so each update removes yet more options.. as for having telnet or ssh .. go wash out your mouth.. they are anathema to Apple total control of the environment.. I mean to say you might set something they didn't intend.

  • Extending Wireless Network Is Crippling Data Speeds - Time Capsule 802.11ac

    Just set up a new Time Capsule (3TB ac) to replace my older 2TB dual-band TC. I had successfully been running a network with another dual-band Airport Extreme (bought this year/the model before current one) extending from the older TC.
    Now when I extend the network using my new TC and the same, older AE, the whole networks grinds down severely. Most times, pages dont even start to load for 10-20 seconds, and then I watch the load up slowly.  Testing the speed on Speedtest, the data seems to stop and start a few times, sometimes peaking at around 30Mbpsm but the rate is all over the place.
    The second I turn the wireless Network Mode to "Off" on the AE, the system comes right back up and Im getting my constant 60 Mbps.
    Im up to date on all firmware.
    Running OSX 10.9
    This is a days old iMac 27" i7
    Something seems seriously wrong here and Im at a loss for figuring it out. I was hoping the new range of the TCs would allow me to get rid of the extending AE altogether, but even in my modest sized home, the network is sketchy from the opposite end of the house. So unfortunately, Im going to have to figure something out here. I really hoping the answer isnt to buy a new AE with ac.

    You are aware that you must completely reset a cable modem whenever you change the device that is connected to the modem, correct?
    The cable modem may need a power down period of up to 30 minutes, sometimes longer.
    The reason for this is that the cable modem associates with the first device that it connects with. If you connect another device, the cable modem "remembers" and "looks" for the old device. When it does not see it....because it is no there.....it refuses to give out an IP address to the "new" device.
    The trick is make the cable modem "forget" the original device, so it will associate with a new device.

  • Can I use an airport express to extend a Cisco E4200 802.11n or 802.11g wireless network?

    Can I use an Airport Express to extend a Cisco E4200 802.11n or 802.11g wireless network?  I'd like to improve access in a dead spot with an airport express. I know I can connect this wayt for airplay, but how about extending the signal?
    Thx! ACB

    Apple's "extend a wireless network" function appears to be a proprietary feature that works only with other Apple AirPort routers. As far as we know, this feature is not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.
    It would be extremely unlikely that the Express could do what you want, but some things are never known until  you try.

  • X121e - Wireless 802.11ac Upgrade

    Hi There,

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00E7QGHE6
    If the above is not compatible, are there any 802.11ac cards that are? If not, does anyone know of any reliable BIOS update that will white list the above device?
    Many thanks for your help in advance :-)

  • Upgrading Wireless Card in dv7-6197CA to Intel 7260HMW IEEE 802.11AC

    I'm looking into upgrading my wireless card in my dv7-6197CA to something that will perform a bit better than my current wireless card.  I was looking into upgrading to a card which supports the WiFi ac standard, and saw the Intel 7260HMW IEEE 802.11AC.  During my research I've heard something about only certain wireless cards being compatiable with HP laptops due to a whitelist.  My question is, will the Intel 7260HMW IEEE 802.11AC be compatiable with my model of laptop?  Thanks in advance!

    Only wifi cards offered by HP on your model are sure to work and it has to be a wifi card bearing an HP Spares Part number or yes, the whiltelist will jump up and bite you. I am not aware of HP's offering any 802.11ac wifi cards yet.
