Connecting guest to access points using wpa

Hi all
is it possible to get my wireless clients to connect without a wpa password, for guest logins ?

Hi There
how will my wireless connect when using webauth, does that mean the traffic is unencrypted ??
will my pc automatically connect to the wireless when there is no auth set on the controller ?
cheers

Forgetting WiFi password, and not connecting to wireless access point automatically??

I'm using (until tomorrow when I get a MacBook Pro which HOPEFULLY won't have the same problem) a pre 2007 Macbook which is running Mac OS X 10.5.8. It was previously owned by my brother and passed onto me about 4 months ago. Within that time I've had nothing but problems with the WiFi connection!
The first issue would have to be that if I put the MacBook to "sleep" rather than turning off, it disconnects from WiFi during that process. Fine, that's to be expected. But when I wake it up, it's not only disconnected, but I have to re-enter my WiFi password in order to reconnect. Is there some reason that it will not remember the password through this sleep process? Turning off and on normally works fine, and it connects automatically, but not when it sleeps.
The second problem is equally confusing to my mind. In my house, we have a wireless access point upstairs (we have 3 floors after having our attic converted). All characteristics (name, password etc) are the same on the access point as on the main router downstairs. Every device in our house, included a couple of android phones, a tablet, and two laptops running various versions of Windows, all connect to this wireless access point with no problem at all. None of them have been "set up" to do so, in that they detect it as part of the same network and join it automatically. But for some reason, my MacBook won't do it? At first I would assume that perhaps it's due to the age of my MacBook and maybe some flaw in the old operation system, but my iPhone 4S running iOS 7 doesn't connect to this access point either. Is this some weird security thing that Apple use in their devices??
To make things even more frustrating, the MacBook's issue of remembering the WiFi password means that when I come back downstairs and into range of the main router, it's forgotten the password again and I have to re-enter it to reconnect.
Can some PLEASE offer some kind of assistance? I'm getting a brand new MacBook Pro tomorrow and if it's an OS issue then I assume I won't have it anymore, but I'm desperate to solve this issue one way or another considering this machine will be staying in the family and in this house so will pressumably have the same issues.
Thanks in advance guys! If I've not given enough info, just ask

The connection between your access point, router, or cable modem and the Internet is broken.

At random points throughout my laptop usage, I randomly disconnect from the internet and receive these 2 messages:
1. The connection between your access point, router, or cable modem and the Internet is broken.
2. The default gateway is not available.
It fixes the issue for a short period of time, but constantly happens. This is really starting to annoy me. I have no problems on any other internet, and other people i live with are connected with no issues to the internet. I have tried a number of solutions
online that has "worked" for others to no success such as resetting the router, fooling around with command prompt, and changing the performance settings to not drop internet when low on power. Does anyone have a solution for my technical problems?
I am running Windows 8.1 on a Lenovo ideapad that is less than a year old. I will be honest I am not a very knowledgeable person when it comes to computers, so please use simplified explanations.

Checked this ?

Scale out file server client access point using public nic

Thoughts on this one.
I have a Scale Out File Server cluster with a Client Access Point. Whenever i talk to the Client Access Point it uses the public nics.
If i talk to the Scale Out File Server directly it uses the private like i want it to. How can i get the Client Access Point using the private nics?

Hi JustusIV,
Could you tell us why you want to modify the CAP use the “private” network, the CAP is used for client access, your clients may can’t access your cluster if modify your CAP
use private network, if you want know how to modify the CAP of a cluster you can refer the following KB:

How do I see the clients that are connected to the access point?

Hello,
In Wireless Control System (WCS), how do I see all the clients that are connected to the Access Point? I can do a particular search that if I know the mac address. But what I really like to know is that which clients is connected to the network. That means it sould be able to show me, example, Client A is connected to AP 1. The problem in WCS is that I can't do that. Can some please advice how I am able to do this? Thanks.

Two ways:
First:
Under monitor, go to Access Points, then chose the target AP and click on it to open a menu, go to the Current Associated Clients tab.
Second:
User the search tool on your upper right corner, type in the target AP name, execute the search, on the results, click view list, on the list chose you AP and then go to the Current Associated Clients tab.
Enjoy.
Phil.

IPhone 5 only able to connect 1 wifi access point

My phone will successfully connect to any access point I attempt to connect to. However, if my phone has ever connected to another access point, I must explicitly forget the previous access point in order to connect to another one. If I attempt to connect to a new access point without first forgetting the other access point, it will continually reject my password as invalid for the new access point. As soon as I either forget the other access point (or perform iOS network reset operation), I can connect fine to the new access point.
This is hugely frustrating. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Has anyone found the issue to this? I'm having the same exact problem and have tried all the resets

Cannot determine MAC address of connected Access Point using Access Connections version 5

I recently installed the newst version of Access Connections (version 5) and discovered I am unable to determine the MAC address of the connected access point. The 'Graphical' screen shows the SSID, IP address of client etc - but does not show the MAC address of the access point. The 'Details' screen shows the MAC address of the access points - but the radial button on the left does not indicate the cfurrently associated access point.

Is it the switch where the node is directly connected ?
Is the NIC at node side, working fine ?
Another fact to consider is, a mac will wipe itself out after the MAC-age timeout.

"Connection Failed" - Belkin access point

When trying to connect wirelessly on my Macbook to my Belkin access point, I enter my WPA and it just comes up with "Connection Failed"....Im running 10.5.5.
Cheers

I use an unprotected belkin point and that use to happen to me, then I realised I just had no signal - as in while its connecting i lifted it up like to get better reception.

Lenovo 11e Chromebook not connecting to Meraki access point.

I have a Meraki mr18 for an access point. The 11e Chromebook will connect, but will not connect to the internet. If I jump into the shell and ping an ip address, it will connect for about 10 times then I get the error: "ping: sendmsg: No buffer space availible."

Connecting to 802.11a AP using WPA security - no go

I have an AP that is set to 802.11a (5GHz) using WPA security and is set to hide its SSID. My iMac is connecting to this AP without any problems whatever frequency i set on AP, hide/show SSID. The problem is - Macbook does not show this AP in AP list when requested, if i select other and enter correct settings (ssid and WPA passkey) it says - connection timed out, AP does not show any signs that something even tried to connect to AP.
the only resort is to use 802.11g when i can connect to AP without any problems.
in Network utilities it shoes that it supports 802.11a/b/g/n
hope i gave enough details.
later today i will try to set WPA2 instead of WPA, also will try to set no security settings at all.
any thoughts how to force it to connect to 5GHz AP?
edit:
forgot to say why i want to switch to 5GHz - the problem is - lately many 2.4GHz b/g APs popped up in neighborhood and started to cause latency/interference as some manage to follow me over frequencies i set up.
Message was edited by: janiskr

ok, setting to WPA2 solved the issue, because still, with WPA configuration i was not able to connect. allowing TKIP and WPA2 allowed macbook to connect. Also iMac changed the settings to WPA2 and it didn't matter that it had correct settings fot WPA.
weird.
maybe someone could point out how to set these things explicitly, so i can choose what settings are in use.

Dynamic VLAN on Access Point using RADIUS

Hi.
I am using a single Cisco 1130AG authenticating to RADIUS on Microsoft IAS (I do NOT have a WLC)
I was wondering is it possible to use one flat SSID in my network and then dynamically assign VLANs to users based on matching of RADIUS Policy and RADIUS Return attributes?
I have configured the attributes on radius as per documentation;
* IETF 64 (Tunnel Type)—Set this to VLAN.
* IETF 65 (Tunnel Medium Type)—Set this to 802.
* IETF 81 (Tunnel Private Group ID)—Set this to VLAN ID.
The returned VLAN ID exists on the Access Point and direct connection to the SSID without the return value works okay.
Each time I connect the VLAN just defaults to the native VLAN for the SSID
I think it may be impossible without WLC!
HELP!!

From what I found when using MBSSID it appears you cannot use dynamic VLANs.
However you can use a single broadcasted SSID and various non-broadcast SSIDs with dynamic VLANs.
Ideally a single SSID and dynamic VLANs via dot1x would be fine for my setup.
However I have a specific wireless device which cannot use dot1x/EAP and therefore I need an second broadcast SSID to use for this. Which then causes the dynamic VLAN setup not to work.

How to add second access point using coax

I have FIOS with the coax line split out of the main fios box. One split goes to room A that has the Actiontec router and a STB. The other line goes into room B where there is just a STB. I have poor wireless signal in room B and I would like to add a second access point. I've read up on the devices that try to amplify your signal and see that they tend to reduce speeds, so this does not seem like a viable option. Because of my building arrangement, I can't do any sort of new wiring.
I'd like to try to minimize how much configuration I have to do and even if it means paying a bit more to do so. From what I can tell, I could split the coax in Room B and plug in an ActionTEC ECB2200. But, this would only give me a ethernet connection. If I plug in a second router via that ethernet connection, would that give me a second access point? Would I need to set up the second router in bridge mode? If this is the case, would it just make sense to plug the second router in without the ActionTEC ECB2200 in bridge mode from the coax input?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, this is Section 3.2 in the link I provided earlier.

My only question is, when starting the process and performing the following:
2.1) You will need to reconfigure the remote router, BEFORE you connect it to the coax.
Perform a hard reset on the Actiontec to restore factory defaults.
Connect a PC to a LAN port of the Actiontec.
By default, DHCP server should be enabled on the Actiontec, so no need to set a static IP address on the PC.
Login to the router at 192.168.1.1
How do I connect the primary and secondary actiontec? Do I disconnect the primary and plug the secondary into coax and do all this, and then when finished plug the primary back in? Or, do i Ieave the primary plugged in the whole time?
First you set up the secondary router by connecting it to any computer using an Ethernet cable. Assuming you have reset the device, go to 192.168.1.1 and make the necessary changes in router number two.
Leave the primary router alone (unless you decide on a scheme with a fixed IP for the second router) and it will supply an IP to router two, which will serve as a simple wireless access point. Detailed settings and a step-by-step cookbook procedure are provided in the references given above. Good luck.

HP photosmart 7520 connects to wrong access point and looses connection

I recently installed a remote wireless access point in an outbuilding. I'm using a router with the same SSID and password as my main router with the same security settings. Only the main router is set to issue IP addresses. The system works fine with two laptops, a desktop, an Ipad and an Ipod. It provides continuous connections from my house to the outbuilding. Only the HP Photosmart seems to be an issue. At first the system worked fine then after a couple of days it lost its connection. I tried to the Wireless Setup Wizzard with no success. The Wireless Network Test results indicated that MAC address filtering may be enabled. This is not the case, MAC filtering in not enabled on either router. The next morning the printer was fine and connected again. I suspect that it is detecting the remote router and trying to connect through it. During the setup a warning came up indicating that two routers were detected with the same SSID and Password and that the printer might try to connect to the wrong router. It should not matter since the remote router connects and is issued IP addresses through the main router. The only difference in the routers is the BSSID. This uses the same number as the MAC filtering address, so I suspect this may be the problem. Any suggestions on a work around. The only thing I have found that solves the problem is turning off the remote router.

Hello there -
Is it possible your new remote access point only supports the 5Ghz band for N connection, or that it's connected to your primary router through a wireless N connection in the 5Ghz band? The 7520 only supports 2.4Ghz N connections. If your primary access point supports both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, that is likely why it's able to connect there while it cannot connect to the new access point. Many newer laptops and iPad/pods utilize 5Ghz N, which would explain why they can connect and your 7520 cannot. I'd recommend moving the 7520 closer to the primary router and using AirPrint to send your jobs.

How to set WNDR4000 as an access point using Linksys EA8500

New member.I have looked through the messages and found quite a few on access points but either I don't understand them or the topic is not the same.I had a Netgear R7000 which died and I now have a Linksys EA8500. I am getting good speed through it and am on Comcast cable.The WDNR4000 was set up as a access point on my Netgear and worked fine. It is hard wired to my router through a switch.I can see it on my Linksys network but can't understand how to allow it as an access point / internet access. I can connect a device to the WNDR4000 but there is no internet.I have the MAC address for the WNDR4000. Thanks in advance to the group. rick

Thanks again.Here are more details.My Linksys router's IP is 192.168.1.1.

Connection between lightweight access point and switch?

Hello everybody,
I am a bit confused about cisco 1000 series access point connection. On wireless lan controller and lightweight access point basic configuration example document id 69719 (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6366/products_configuration_example09186a0080665cdf.shtml), I understood the access point has two vlans associated with (vlan 3 and 4). Am I correct?
Why is connection between access point and catalyst port just access port rather 802.1q trunk? How vlan traffic can traverse from the access point to controller?
Please advice.
Many thanks,
Nitass

Nitass,
The AP itself does not need to be a trunked port, but the uplink to the controller does. When using a Lightweight enviroment, all the traffic passes thru an encrypted LWAPP tunnel from the AP to the controller, and then gets sent out the correct VLAN interface on the controller.
