How do I purchase an autonomous 1260 access point?

There's a new IOS release (12.4.25d-JA) with support for the 1260 access point in autonomous mode. However, I haven't been able to find a part number for purchasing this combination. It appears to me that I would need to do the following:
Purchase a lightweight 1260 (part number AIR-LAP1262N-x-K9)
Purchase a support contract so that I have access to software updates
Download the IOS image that supports autonomous mode for the 1260 (ap3g1-k9w7-tar.124-25d.JA.tar)
Replace the 1260's preinstalled lightweight IOS image by my downloaded image.
This seems unnecessarily inconvenient, as well as requiring the extra expense of a support contract. Am I correct in thinking that I would need to do this, or is it possible to order a 1260 that comes preconfigured with this autonomous image?

Hi,
I know this is off the original topic, but still. Since all indoor AP's like 1242, 1262 etc and outdoor AP like 1522 will have max transmit power of 17dbm or whatever the regulatory domain allows, what is the point in buying a 1522 for outdoor ? Cant i use the same 1242 with a protective NEMA enclosure and use the desired antenna with a 1242 instead of going for a 1522 ? Similarly if only 802.11abg is required, i guess the 1242 with its max power can provide as much coverage as any of the new 1262, 3502 etc ?
regards
Joe

How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.

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.

How to add a second router as access point and wifi signal extender

Previously I had 2 linksys routers and was able to configure them as one in separate areas of my house. I think it is called cascading. The 2nd router acted as an ethernet switch with 4 extra ports and it provided a wifi signal to areas of my house that previously had a weak signal when I used only one router.
I have since switched to an Airport Extreme as my main router. I can't seem to get the same configuration with the linksys router, it is Model E1000 and has an "N" signal. The Linksys E1000 I think is the newer model of the old WRT54G Linksys. I can't get it configured to work. I have searched high and low on the internet and can't find anything simple enough for a novice to understand. I did read something that I may have to assign a "DHCP Reservation" on the Apple Extreme. I couldn't figure that out.
Can somebody please offer some guidance on how to get this to work?
Thanks

You have two routers producing two networks with the same name, so they will show up as two networks on any type of scan by a wireless utility. This is normal.
If you had used two Linksys devices, they would probably show up as one network, not two. Linksys has a feature that allows this to occur, but this is not true of Apple devices.
As long as the wireless network name, wireless security and password match up between the two routers, the two networks will behave as if they were one. As computers change location, they will automatically connect to the wireless access point with the strongest signal.

How to configure MSI RG54SE II as Access Point ?

I have an msi router:
Firmware Version:
3.5.2 Build 070402 Rel.60023n
Hardware Version:
RG54SE II v1 081520C2
And i want it to configure it as an access point to a wireless network/ or another access point . Can you help me on how i do this ?
Regards,
Daniel

Hi. I Had a similar problem and found a solution. If you have another device as your primary router then:
1. connect ethernet cable from LAN port of your primary router to LAN port (NOT WAN!) of your RG54SE (I will just call it MSI).
2. go to web interface of MSI
3. if MSI has ip address in wan connection then release it. (Network->WAN) (I set my wan connection type to dynamic ip because there is no option to disable it)
4. in Network->LAN set ip address different from primary router (but in the same subnet) and out of DHCP pool
i.e. if your primary router has ip address 192.168.1.1 and its dhcp pool is 192.168.1.100-199 then you can set local ip address of MSI to 192.168.1.2
5. Disable DHCP on MSI router.
6. If your primary router also has active wi-fi then you must switch MSI wi-fi to another channel, so they do not interfere with each other.
that's it! It's simple and it works!

How to Setup WRITTEN as a wireless access point to work with WRITTEN

Hi,
I had a router WRITTEN which was not covering the whole space in my house. I was looking for a N wireless access point or a range extender.
The shop seller convinced me to buy WRITTEN saying that the Dual N will fix my problem.
well it did not. The reception in some locations is still poor.
the same reseller advised me to use the 350N as a wireless access point instead of buying one. The question is how to do it.
I am thinking about the following:
1- Have the WRITTEN installed next to the internet modem connect to the modem by cable
2- in another room have the WRITTEN (approx 20 meters away) not connected by a cable to the WRITTEN
3- When using the laptop in the weak reception area, I try to connect wirelessly to WRITTEN which should be also connected wirelessly to the WRITTEN
Would that be possible. I hope so since there is no way to have a cable connecting the 350N and 610N due to many reasons
appreciate your help in adance

I am sorry but the spelling checker repalced my router names to another word
the correct text is:

How do i set up a wireless access point with ny time capsule

I am using a new Airport Extreme and want to utilize my older TC to create a wireless access point or maybe an aditional router using the same newtwork. What are the steps to set this up?
Thanks
Alamo

You will first need to perform a Factory Default Reset on the Time Capsule.
Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ
Then, temporarily locate it in close proximity (same room or nearby) to the AirPort Extreme.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click the tab in the upper left hand corner of the AirPort Utility window that reads Other AirPort Base Stations (1), then click the Time Capsule
AirPort Utility will take a moment or two to analyze your network, then announce that the TC will be configured to extend your wireless network.
Enter a name for the TC (you can use the same device name that you used before if you wish) and click Next.
AirPort Utility will take a another minute or two to configure the TC and then tell you that the setup is complete. Click Done
At this point, power down the TC and move it to a location that is approximately half the distance from the AirPort Extreme and the area that needs more wireless coverage.....to give the TC a good strong signal to "extend"
Power up the TC and wait for the green light and then you are all set.

How can I let applications let select Access Point...

The access point management of the 5800 is somewhat different from older phones: using Web you can select the access point every time you start it, but other applications using network (e.g. Opera Mini) start connecting Wifi or 3G whatever comes first. Then you can only select that that access point is selected automatically at next use. This means when you are in another country and the signal of a Wifi hotspot is too weak it will select 3G and does not notify the user of it, which will cost lots of money then.
Is there a possibility that I can select manually the AP at every application start like Web does ?
The older Nokias (e.g. E70) allowed to select the AP at every application start.
Nokia 5800
FW 30.0.011

The new "Destinations" method of managing the internet reflects the fact that many users now connect via several networks. A typical setup for the "Internet" destination might be:
Priority 1: Home WLAN
Priority 2: Work WLAN
Priority 3: Operator AP
This way, the phone searches for the various APs in order of preferennce when you access the internet, allowing you to use different networks without switching the AP in settings.
Individual applications may have their own AP settings which override the phone's standard setup - I can't speak for Opera Mini, but I can give N-Gage as an example of an application that ignores the phones main settings in favour of its own configuration.

How to configure wrt54g router as an access point when connected to a 3Com switch

I'm trying to use my linksys router as an access point to keep from having to make more network drops. I can't figure out which IP address/gateway to use on my router to get it to communicate with my switch. The 3Com switch address is 10.1.10.250, gateway is 10.1.10.1, netmask is 255,255,255,0.The linksys router has been reset to defaults.
I know that it can be done but I'm having the hardest time making it work.

How set up my wrt54g v6 as access point

Hi i want to set up my wrt54g v6 to get wireless signal from my wrt54gx2 router 100 feet away. thanks.

Your WRT54G is not designed to do this, at least not with Linksys firmware. Perhaps you can find some 3rd party firmware to do this, however, if you load 3rd party firmware, it will void your Linksys warranty.
Most Linksys routers are designed to generate a wireless network, not connect to an existing wireless network.

How do I connect to me second access point: 5 Ghz?

When I first set up my internet I didn't realize there were two networks that came with it. A 2.4 and a 5 Ghz. I have two smart TVs and I'm having issues with the second one. My first one is connected by an ethernet cable and it reads 2.4 Ghz, my second TV was connected to that same one via wifi, however when watching Netflix or Youtube on it, it slows down and drags. Sometimes it works fairly well with only a few buffering moments, but most of the times it buffers every five seconds. That's why I wanted to connect this one to the 5 Ghz network, but I can't find it when I search for it on my TV. I even typed it in under the hidden networks option and it doesn't find it. For some reason I can only see that network on my phone, but I can't connect my TV to it. I've even reset my modem three times and it still doesn't show up. Any ideas?

Even if I were to do a wired connection?
The 5GHz refers to Wireless networks only. If you caneasily do a wired connection to your TV, you should do that, instead of using wireless networking. That is a pretty general recommendation for most (if not all) devices.

How do I make my AirPort Extreme a access point?

I just bought a Time Capsule and now I want to extend my range of my network. How do I make my AE an access point?

In this case, you will want to configure both base stations in an extended network.
Dynamic WDS - Extending a Wireless Network Setup
If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
Open AirPort Utility, and then, select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then, click Wireless.
Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
Enter the base station network and base station password if necessary.
Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

How to delete wifi access point on E7 - mails won'...

I have E7 with symbian anna. A while ago I had to restart my home wifi (due to storm) and during that process a new wifi access point (wlan(01) was created on my phone. After that - as far as I have now understood - my phone stopped syncronising gmails altogether. Also in my provider's network (outside wifi, elisa). In order for my phone to sync emails, i need to reboot it (or just turn it off and on, no need to get the three vibrations when turning off).
Question 1) How do I delete this unncecssary wifi access point on E7? I was able to do it easily on my N900 but not on this E7.
Question 2) Is it likely that the reason my phone stopped syncin gmails is related to this wifi issue? Pressing send & receive won't help, either, nothing happens. I have had this E7 for 1.5 months now, Symbian Anna I've had for 10 days and this problem started 5 days ago. Before that the mails flew in very nicely.

To remove access poit, go to settings>connectivity>settings>Destination>Internet>long hold access point and select delete.
For Gmail, don't use it, but if you remove/delete mailbox and then set it up again it should work fine, also heard that during set up if you reject terms and conditions and set up manually it works better ?
