Forcing iPod Auto connect to the the strongest access point?

I have two access points at home, one on the first floor "platinum 1״ and "platinum 2" on the second floor. How can I force my iPod Touch 4th generation (the newest version) to connect to the the stronger access point?
In many cases I am on the second floor where the wifi signal is stronger from platinum 2 but the iPod stay connected to platinum 1 access point.
I want the iPod to change automatically to the stronger AP at my home.
Please advice

It will stay connected to the current network until the signal strength gets too low to stay connected, then it will switch to another network if available.

- Have you tried resetting the Ipod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.-
- Next connect it to your computer. If iTunes sees the iPod restore the iPod, First restore from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
- If iTunes does not see the iPod first try placing the iPod in recovery mode. If not seen try placing it in DFU mode:

Aironet 1600 - A response was not received from the router or access point

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a wireless network with multiple SSID's. The new network only has CISCO products (router, switches). For the moment I'm trying to connect to 1 SSID (Windekind.Gast). the SSID is visible but when connecting devices have te folowing error message in the log:
Connection status summary
Connection started at: 2015-02-17 09:55:49-951
Profile match: Success
Pre-Association: Success
Association: Fail
Security and Authentication: Not started
Root cause:
Wireless association to "Windekind.Gast" failed
A response was not received from the router or access point.
Detailed root cause:
Wireless association to this network failed. Windows did not receive any response from the wireless router or accesspoint.
The signal is perfect (I'm only a few feet away from the AP).
To make sure there is no dhcp problem I tested the swich port in access mode for vlan 30 which supplied an IP correctly. I'm really not seeing the problem and searched the web for days now! Any help would be very much appreciated!
Below the config of the access point (done via de web interface).

Hi Rasika
thanks for the reply! 10.0.0.81 belongs to vlan 1. I changed the config as suggested but no luck.. (same problems are logged in the event viewer). the ap is connected to a switchport in trunk mode and vlan 1 is the native lan (untagged). the port also is joined to vlan 30 (and others).
Below the new config. Hope you can see an error..

How do I set the transition between access points would be fine?

Hello everyone,
We have an organization Wirless controller 2504 with 20 aironet access-point (700 series)
Once I defined all the access points I noticed that the transition between them is not working fine...
I mean that clients can not walk around in our organization without having to connect to any access point separately.
How do I set the transition between access points would be fine?
Thanks a lot (:

HI Omri,
which software version you have on WLC ?
Is the site survey done propely ?
Remember: It is the client that decides when to roam and which AP to connect to based on what it perceives the signal to be.
If your site survey design is perfect and still have problems while roaming then:
Disable your lower data rates on the 2.4ghz and or 5ghz radio and your clients will roam better. Try to disable everything below 11mbps. and give that a try.May be old device will work in this case.

Auto connect using more the one iPhone 4S

MEX-BT3100P will Pair 2 iPhone 4s successfully individually. But will only auto connect from the last paired device. I would then have to go into iPhone setup and select Sony Automotive in Bluetooth settings before it will connect. Now this iPhone will auto connect and the other iPhone will not auto connect. Tried powering off the first paired device completely before trying to auto connect the 2nd device. Still no go. Tried using BT SIGNL but it does not detect the iPhone without going into phone's settings to connect.

What sort of card is it, debit or credit ? If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined. If you don't have a credit card to use in its place then are iTunes gift cards available in your country to use as your payment method instead ?
If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management

Apple TV 2G (Airplay and Homesharing) can only stream from devices on the same wireless access point range??

connection:
40 Mbps Fiber Broadband connection using:
Devices:
1. Main Modem/router (AP1): Huawei HG8245 (provided by ISP) - Wireless enabled.
2. Remote Access point (AP2): Linksys/Cisco E3200 Wireless gigabyte router flashed with DD-WRT v24-sp2 (06/14/11) mini (Cascaded -wired- LAN to LAN from main modem).
3. Wireless Repeater to cover a dead spot (AP3): Linksys/Cisco E1000 wireless repeater.
4. Apple Tv (AT2G) with home sharing/airplay enabled.
5.( Ipad) with home sharing on itunes enabled.
6. Win7 (PC) using iTunes with Home sharing enabled.
all devices are updated to their latest firmware.
In order to cover a large 3 story house with Wifi. I had (AP1) is located on the first floor, while (AP2) is located in the basement floor directly wired by LAN to LAN with (AP1). (AP3) is located on the Ground floor away from the living room to repeat wireless network into the back yard. While (AT2G) is located in the living room on the ground floor right in the middle of both (AP1) + (AP2) while connected via Wifi.
Network SSID, security, passphrase and wireless settings of (AP2) are identical to (AP1) to create a single big LAN/WLAN roaming network where all devices connected to both wireless access points can find/share the others. As understood, it's refered to as bridging.
I have noticed that my iphone/ipad does not show the airplay button anywhere within the wireless network. it seems that the apple TV randomly choses to connect to the AP with stronger signal, or switch to the other in case of a reboot to one of them.
to elaborate further, if i was sitting in the living room (groundfloor), trying to airplay some you tube contents via Wifi to my Apple TV, i may not find the airplay button available all the time, i found out the reason is while i'm wirelessly connected to AP1, the Apple TV was connected to AP2 and both deviced cannot detect each others to enable my purpose. that goes the same for Home Sharing. only if my Ipad/PC and Apple Tv are on the same wireless AP. they would detect each others immediately.
although, the second AP (AP2) is suppose to extend my wireless network of the same subnet in which any device connected can be found.
After all sorts of trial and error tweaking my router/access point, I thought the problem would be due to the Linksys 3200 capability of bridging WLAN and lacks few protocols that enables my purpose. i have flashed the firmware to a DD-WRT, but again, problem was not solved.
I have not tried having my Apple Tv wired to either router/AP, but i assume it may work well if i do so. i still need to solve this wireless connection issue though.
Am i the only one with this problem, would there be something wrong with my setup?
Your feedback is highly appreciated.

You may or may not already have your network set up correctly, it's just that I can't tell from what you have said.
I have a main router provided by my ISP, I have several other Airport Extremes and Airport expresses connected by Ethernet, all set up to bridge the network created by the main router.
Each maker has their own settings, but bridging should be reasonably obvious. In simple terms my main router distributes IP addresses to all devices, the Airports bridge that network by passing these addresses to the devices from the main router. A base station that isn't in bridging mode will distribute its own addresses to the devices connected to it.
I don't really follow your next point.
instruction for configuration vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, the best course of action here is to refer to the manual. If everything is set up properly the addresses of everything on your network will have identical sets of numbers for the first 3 of 4 groups of numbers that make up an address, the last set must always be different. I think the part you are referring to with your DD-WRT is the option to have Ethernet and wifi bridged or not.
Some routers may be easier to configure than others, but generally speaking they should all work with the Apple TV. 5Ghz is less likely to suffer interference but it is much more likely to be blocked by solid objects, it may or may not be an advantage.

Blackberry Z10 connection with an Aironet Cisco Access Point 1200

Hi everybody,
I'm trying without success a connection between a Blackberry Z10 and an Aironet Cisco Access Point 1200.
We have no BB Server, we would like just to connect the WIFI.
I've checked this points during the activation of the device:
There's no LEAP protocolle.
There's an EAP-Fast possibility.
There's Mac Address recognition possibility.
When we try to use the EAP-Fast possibility, we generate a .pac file, but i don't know where i can put this file so that the Blackberry recognize this file. I've search the whole day and didn't find anything... there's simply no explanation with the Z10 around the .pac file without a BB Server.
I've try the Mac Address recognition and it simply doesn't work (no error the search time is too long)
Every other older smartphones - Blackberry (there's 4 devices) are working.
Anyone have an idea about? a suggestion? a list of compatible WIFI Devices?
Thank you ahead.
Have a nice day.
Joel.

Sorry i don't understand your answer.
I'm not a developper but a system administrator.
I just would like to use a Balckberry Z10 with our Wifi/Router Aironet Access Point 1200.

Hi, My name is Eric Moyers. I am a Network Support Engineer in the Cisco Small Business Support Center. Thank you for using the Cisco Community Post Forums.
Under Wireless/Security how do you have the Wireless Isolation configured?
Wireless Isolation (within SSID) should be disabled to allow wireless computers associated to the same SSID to see and transfer files between each other

Problems connecting WRE54G with DLINK DWL2100AP Access Point

Please help!!

Hi there,
Your dlink device, is it an access point?
Your range expander, is it version 1 or 2?
Check the wireless settings of your access point and set in the range expande. They need to be exactly the same.
Hope this helps.

HT1727 I have recently upgraded my computer and wnt to transfer my iPOD Nano Generation 7 Playlist to my new computer. I see I can take my Ipod and connect it to the computer and download my Paylists to the new omputer So All I do is hook up the IPOD ?

Hi I recently upgraded with a new computer. I see that when I open my itunes that my old playlist did not transfer to the new computer. I want to transfer my paylist from the old computer to the new one without loosing what I have on my IPOD Nano (7th Gen) at present. I saw that you can link the IPD directly to te computer and download the playlist to my new computer. Okay so I just hook in directly once I have it set up what do I push to transfer the playlist frommy IPOD to the computer> A by-the-number explanation would be appreciated as I am not computersavy and over 60. Thanks
