Connecting to Access Point (WiFi) via iPhone 5

My aim is to have a network configured where all devices can see and communicate with each other, all devices should have access to the internet as standard.
The reason why I have decided on a cascading network setup with a "Master" and "Slave" is because my WiFi didn't reach to all places in the house and our phones / ipads were not connected to the network in the main rooms that we use.
My Network Configuration
(Master) ADSL Modem Router < [PLUG] -- Connected to Belkin Powerline HD (200Mbps) -- [PLUG] > (Slave) Old router WiFi Enabled
1. Slave is connected to the powerline HD plug via a LAN port with the DHCP server settings turned off and the DHCP server pointing to the Master routers IP Address, which has its DHCP server settings switched on.
     - This config works with all my devices laptops, printers, DLNA servers etc.
     - However none of my apple devices work with it, the IP address of my iPhone 5 is being self assigned 169.xxx.xxx.xxx ("x" being a number from1 - to - 254)
Now I want to know is there any reason why my apple iPhone or iPad cannot work within this setup, I can't see why not, my master should assign the iPhone an IP address within the defined range however this doesn't seem to be the case.
This issue got me thinking so I though I would play around with the setup to see if I could get it working. My hunch was that it might be something to do with the powerline so I tried connecting the "Slave" directly to the "Master" and it worked so kind of proved my first theory.
I then tried changing the Slave settings, so that slave would become the DHCP server for its own sub-net, I achieved this by:
2. Slave is connected to the powerline HD plug via internet (WAN) port on the router and turning the DHCP server setting on in the router
     - This config works with my iphones but now means any other devices that I connect to this WiFi cannot use any of my network resources unless I move them on to this wireless network - Which I can't as they are at the other side of the house where this signal does not reach
     - cannot see printers or any shared resources.
Is there any reason why my apple products cannot obtain an IP Address over the PowerLine HD plug or is there an alternative that could be suggested that would allow this to work, I can't run a cable either as its just impractical. If powerlines don't work I would just like to know why? my s4 and s3 both work fine on the first config.
Sorry if this sounds high level just the best way I could word it if any one needs more info I would be more than happy to provide specifics upon request - DESPERATLY want a solution to this.
Thanks in advance
Nik

How do you remove a manually configured wireless access point on the iphone 4S?

I have manually configured my iPhone 4s to point to a wireless access point that I no longer use. How do I delete it from the list of access points on my iPhone?

You can only "Forget this Network" while actually connected to the network, so ignore iamjeremi's post. Other than restoring your phone as a new device, you can't if you cannot connect to the network anymore.

Connected to access point but internet cannot be found????

router was working fine until it wasnt finding internet one nite and then it was unplugged so internet could be used on main computer and now when i try to plug everything back up to get wireless internet, it still says connected to access point but internet not found dont have a clue what is going on!?!

I think you were connecting to wireless router to access Internet, you need to have proper configuration on wireless router and wireless adapter to make it work, take a look on this wireless network setup tutorial to help you.

Imac will only connect to my home wifi via ISP hotspot. All other devices are fine (iphone, ipad etc). its driving me nuts!

My imac (2 yrs old) will not connect to my home wifi with the exception of my ISP hotspot. All other devices are fine (iphone, ipad etc). I have changed my ISP recently and this issue has never happened before. I am with my current ISP for about 7 weeks and this was not an issue for the first 2/3 weeks. Went through the usual set up procedures but alas...nothing. Message states unable to join network! Don't think it is an ISP issue as all other devices work perfect...or is it? As I said It did work at the start, but no longer. I recently moved to NJ from Ireland, so my imac is a European model (don't think that makes a difference?) I can only presume it is the settings on the imac. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thx

Hi - out of action for a few days. To answer your questions:
- and click on Advanced and make sure everything is correct - all in order
- Also check on your router's website to make sure the iMac is recognized there - it IS NOT recognized here as other devices are
- do you by chance have your router set up to do Mac filtering? - i don't know..how do I check?
Thx

No AirPlay when connected through access point

I have my wireless setup with a main router in one room and another router (a DIR615) in another room setup as an access point.
I have an Apple TV 2. gen which is hooked up by ethernet.
Everytime Im connected wirelessly through the main router, AirPlay works fine, by when Im connected through the DIR615 (the access point), theres no AirPlay.
When Im on the access point everything else seem to work fine - only thing thats missing is AirPlay. Oh and Remote has the same issue.
The DIR615 has an option called "Use as access point" which I turned on. Then I set it to broadcast the same SSID as the main router with the same password. Is that wrong set up?
I can access my other device like my NAS with no problems through both the main router and the access point.

I have noticed a similar issue.
Years ago, I extended my original wired network with an Airport Express (AE) acting as a bridged access point. When I got my iPod Touch, I noticed that the AE would go out to lunch occasionally if the WiFi on the Touch was on. But when the AE was functioning correctly, I could do AirPlay from the Touch to the AE.
With the addition of an iPhone and another Touch in the house, the AE was becoming more flaky, so I bought an access point product from Trendnet. This device bridges another wireless network to the same IP subnet (192.168.1.0/24) as the wired and AE wireless network, but it is a different wireless network (SSID) from the AE wireless. This allows me to configure the handheld devices to only connect to the Trendnet. Now the AE no longer crashes. (Pretty ironic that I need to buy a non-Apple device to get it to work...).
However, I do not get the AirPlay icon when a handheld is connected to the Trendnet network. I just tried connecting one of the Touches to the AE wireless and when I do, voila, I do get the AirPlay icon.
Theoretically, the path taken to the AE from the handheld shouldn't matter, but it looks like Apple engineered it so that it does. Maybe AirPlay doesn't run over IP?? It is disappointing and I hope it gets fixed.

Connect Netgear access point to Home Hub?

Before I switched to using a Home Hub 2, I was using a Netgear router/modem (DG834G).
And I also had a Netgear WPN802 access point connected to the DG834G router/modem (via ethernet cable), and this enabled me to connect to internet using wifi from another location in my house. Just seemed to work.
But I can't seem to get this to work with the Home Hub. When the access point is plugged in to the Home Hub, it doesn't seem to show up in the Devices part of the Home Hub, and I can't connect to the access point via its default IP address (192.168.0.231). I can't see anything in the Home Hub to configure to make this work. On the access point, the ethernet light is lit, which suggests that it can "see" something on the other end of the cable (and the light goes out when I unplug the other end from the Home Hub).
Any hints?
Thanks.

You will need to change the default IP address of the Netgear WPN802 so that it is in the same subnet as the home hub.
The full details on how to do this are here http://kbserver.netgear.com/pdf/wpn_802_ref_manual.pdf
Look at page 23 and change the IP address in the Basic settings.
You could change it to 192.168.1.231 if you wish. It would still not show on the home hub because it is manually assigned. But it should work fine.
I have an additional Belkin wireless access point on my hub, which uses the address 192.168.1.200, and that works fine.

Netctl connects to access points I've never seen before

On my laptop using netcl and auto switching profiles as described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Netctl.
Recently, and more than once, I'm connected at a public cafe and I'm suddenly no longer able to reach the internet.
When I investigate, I find that I'm no longer connected to the cafe's wifi, but I am connected to some other essid that I've never seen before. This is disconcerting for possible security reasons but also annoying to get disconnected in the middle of whatever I'm doing.
The essids that my box connects to I've never seen before. (I'm assuming the come from nearby computers.) There is no corresponding profile in /etc/netctl.
To work around the problem, I run
sudo systemctl stop [email protected]; sudo wifi-menu
then reconnect to the access point I was originally connected to.
I really don't want netctl-auto to change a connection that is working. How can I prevent this from ever happening?

That file has a long list of every wireless router I've connected to! I didn't know that was there. It duplicates a lot of information thats in /etc/netctl/... It has passwords, too. I'm not going to post it here.
But I don't see the mysterious routers in that file. The ones I find myself connected to, that I never connected to myself.
... Looking over that file again, I see a strange entry:
network={
key_mgmt=NONE
ssid=""
id_str="wlp3s0-none"
I'm going to delete that. I believe it comes from a time I connected to an essid without a name. But I'm not sure if that's the culprit.

Can't connect to Access Point that is connected to the Internet (Snow Leopard 10.6.8)

Hi all,
I am normally not someone who posts on support forums since most of the problems can be solved be searching through piles of other questions, but this things has really got me pulling out my hair and I hope that maybe someone can help me with this super weird problem.
So, a few weeks back, my Mac Mini (kind of old, guessing 2007) stopped connecting to Wireless networks. Since all other devices in home (iPhone, MacBook Pro and a PC) are connecting just fine I thought it had to do with my settings. All it says is: "connection timeout".
The Mac Mini connects just fine when I plug in an ethernet cable, but that's a no go since I don't want cables laying around our living room that much.
I tried a lot of things suggested my other people like removing settings, PRAM reset, moving the AP closer, router settings etc etc. Of no avail. Even tried to fix it by reinstalling Snow Leopard, but that didn't do it either.
Though when I turned my MBP into an Access Point it could connect to that network just fine. That made me wonder if it's my router, but once I plug in an ethernet cable into my MBP to share Internet access it won't connect! Tried the same with my router and indeed, it connects just fine once it has no Internet connection.
Tried searching for people that had the same problem, but I couldn't find them. Can anybody here help?
TLDR; Mac won't connect to Wireless network that has an internet connection, but does when it hasn't.
Thanks!

Try disconnecting the router from the internet (WAN port) and plugging a PC directly into one of the LAN ports. After resetting, ignore the smartwifi login, click the two checkboxes, and login manually/directly with the "admin" password and reconfigure.
If you don't want to do all that just yet, try accessing the router from the public IP address assigned by your ISP. That might work

Connecting European Access Point to US Controller

I have a 5508 controller and about 30 AIR-CAP3502I-A-K9 access points across 30 offices in the USA. We have a new UK office and purchased an AP locally to avoid shipping from the US, the UK AP is an AIR-CAP3502I-E-K9. When I try to add the UK country code to the controller it tells me I have to disable 802.11A and B wireless networks. I obviously don't want to do that. Is there a way to connect a -E AP to an American controller??
Thank you,
John

Is there a way to connect a -E AP to an American controller??
No there is none. You have two options:
Get another controller where you allow APs with the same Regulatory Domain to join; or
Convert and operate the APs in autonomous.
The reason behind this madness is because the wifi Regulatory Domain for Europe and US are totally different. In order to comply, Cisco's WLC will only allow COMMON factors to be enabled.
Take my case for example. I have a few "-A" APs that were delivered incorrectly when I should be using "-N". So this means that all my "-A" APs have 802.11a radios disabled.

Cisco Access Point (WiFi)

Hi,
i am searching for a Cisco AP (wifi) which will support atleast 100 concurrent connections .
Please advice.
Thanks,
Saroj

Please don't take any offense with my response.
Your question is similar to the question "What 24-port switch model can support 200 clients."
An AP can support between 1 to 1024 clients (theoretical). But understand that a wireless access point (WAP) behaves like a hub: When one talks, everyone else stops to listen and waits for their turn.
Cisco recommends that no more than 25-clients-per-WAP ratio. So if you have 200 clients then you need a minimum of 8 APs. Depending on your other environmental factors (such as size of the areas, walls, height of the AP to be installed, etc.) you may have to consider disabling the 802.11b data rates.
Next question is what model. Well that's going to be difficult without knowing what your budget and requirement is. But I will presume that you will need 802.11n support so here goes:
1. Go to the Cisco wireless website (link).
2. The 1040 is the most affordable WAP. The main difference with the rest is that this model support 2 x 2 MIMO while the others will support 2 x 3 MIMO.
3. The WAP models 1250 and 1260 are industrial grade models and require external antenna. The 3500e requires external antenna too but can support up to -6 dBm gain. The 3500p also requires external antenna but has it's own special antenna. This model is designed for stadium installation.
4. For optimum performance, the 1250 requires a 20.0 PoE or PWR-INJ4 power brick. Other APs requires 15.4w PoE.
5. The 3500i/3500e/3500p is the only model of it's kind to support Cisco's CleanAir. This model requires a Wireless LAN Controller (WLC).
6. 1140 is the baseline WAP.
7. The 1040, 1140, 1250, 1260 and 3500i/3500e/3500p has GigabitEthernet wired interface.
The 1130 is an AP that will only support 802.11a/b and g.

L3 connections between Access points and WLC

hi,
we have a customer asking us to configure wireless system as per attached drawing.
WLC is in Data Center which is connected to Data Center Switch ( Cisco 3850), then this DC-Switch is connected to DC-Core ( Cisco Nexus-7K).
this Nexus-7K is connected to many campus Networks. in all campuses there is Cisco 4507 Campus Core which is connected to Nexus-7K.
then from Campus core many distribution switches are connected.
all Vlans for data and wifi is created in Distribution Switches. Distribution Switches are VTP Servers and many access switches with connected APs are connected back to this Distribution Switch.
All Access Points are registered at WLC in Data Center, but wifi clients are not getting ip address from DHCP Server, as well as even if we configured static ip address at wifi clients they are not able to communicate correctly.
please correct me if there is a mistake in this design , or we have a solution to solve this problem please let me know.
attached topology diagram
thanks,
anvar

Hey Anvar,
Too much details about network, to make it simple:
1- APs and WLC can be in separate VLANs (Not a problem)
2- As APs have joined, these two VLANs look fine for me
If your clients can't communicate probably with static IP address
1- From the WLC, ping default gateway for that VLAN
2- If the WLC can reach the gateway, its wired VLAN issue that you need to investigate in the path (maybe using wired device in the same VLAN as the clients in the switch where the APs are connected)
Now, about why the clients are not taking IP:
1- What is your DHCP, where its located? Is it the same one for all clients?
2- Do you have local APs or FlexConnect ?
3- When you run the debugs for DHCP where the process breaks?
Cheers,
Nour

WRT610N - Both laptops lose connection to access point intermittently

I've tried searching the forums a little but don't see my exact issue.
I have a WRT610N and two laptops (one Windows7 connected over N 5ghz and the other XP connecting over A 5ghz). From time to time, but at least twice a day, especially when doing a heavy download or streaming media, the laptop connection to the access point will be dropped. I have to disconnect from the wireless network and reconnect.
I verified that I was running the latest firmware. I never had to upgrade, was shipped with 2.00.00.05. THe 5ghz network uses WPA2 security and I tried switching from AES only to TKIP and AES. I also tried changing the key renewal interval. One laptop has a DHCP reservation and the other is allowed to get whatever IP. 20 or 40 Mhtz channel width is set to auto.
If anyone has any ideas of things to try before I go return the thing I would appreciate it.

LinkSys Wireless Card connects to "Access Point" but no internet connection

I have 2 LinkSys wireless cards. one is 802.11g, the other b. The signal for the Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi Wireless Base Station is very strong, but when I try to connect, it says "You are connected to the access point, but the Internet cannot be found". No internet access, and I can't ping anything (Ping request could not find host...). And of course the printer hooked to the AirPort is also not recognized. My iMac and Macbook both have no problems connecting to the network. There is no problem with ethernet connection to the Airport. Is it possible to have a compatibility problem between the Linksys and Airport hardware? I thought as long as they were were compatible 802.11, they would work together. The cards had no problem with my old DLink router or other hotspots in the city. Is there a set-up I missed for setting up the PC-based cards with the AirPort?

Is your wireless network secured?
The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

T60 - WLAN regularly loses connection to access point

Hi,
my T60, Windows Vista with
ThinkPad 802.11a/b/g/n, 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Adapter
WLAN driver version 05 Nov 2007, v7.3.1.127
WPA authentification
regularly (i.e. once every 15 min) loses the connection to the access point for some seconds.
I already tried different access points, different encryption, different WLAN channels, but nothing helped.
So the cause seems to be the WLAN adapter of my T60 or the driver.
I am using the latest driver. As far as I remember, I did not experience this issue on Windows XP.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? It's quite annoying.
Thanks! Best regards,
Daniel

Hi lwoxen,We apologize about the inconveniences, but I would be glad to assist. One thing worth trying is changing the wireless channel on the Cisco WAP.To do this, just login to your U-verse gateway by going to http://192.168.1.254. From there you should see a list of all the devices connected, and you just want to choose the details on the Cisco AP. It should give you an IP Address. From there, type that IP address into your browser. It should ask you for a user name and password:User: ATTadminPass: 401!VENFrom there go to the wireless options and change the Control Channel option to one of the 4 channels. I would suggest trying 36.Let us know if that works. Also, I will be sending you a private message, so if you do have any further problems, you have a direct point of contact.

No connection to access point

I have installed the range expander (v.2) using the automatic method and get the proper blue lights. My distant PC indicated a very strong signal witth the correct SSID but says "cannot contact with the access point".
I have set my router to include the 192.168.1.240 address in its range. It shows two wireless connections, the first one being my laptop at 192.168.1.21 but only assigns this one IP which is for the laptop, the range expander is recognized as a secind wireless unit but does not have an IP indicated by the router. As all else is normal I suspect this is the missing link. How do I get it to assign an IP?

You can do one thing connect back the Laptop to the Range Extender .. open setup page ..of range extender ... use static Ip 192.168.1.240 ..subnet 255.255.255.0 ..with gateway 192.168.1.1(Router Ip address)...click save settings ... Power cycle the network ... try to ping the Ip of the range extender from wired computer to the router ... if getting replies ....keep the range extender in such a place where you are getting low signal strength from the router itself .... so that the range extender will get connection from router. .. keep the laptop on the range of WRE54G .... so that it will only take connection from RE ...not directly from Router ... Also check the Ip address on the Laptop .... See if it works...
