Router Cisco 891-w SSID BroadCast

i have successfully been able to configure my 891w router with a wireless network, but even when i allow the SSID to broadcast (Using the GUI option Enable Broadcast), as soon as i save the settings with the SSID broadcast enabled. it goes back to SSID broadcast not enabled.
Thanks

Hi,
This command should be entered inside the radio module..
Issue the command on the router
service module wlan-ap 0 session
U will go into the AP module..
here, configure the guest-mode
en
conf t
dot11 ssid
guest-mode
end
lemme know if this helps..

Web Filtering on a Cisco 891 Router

I am looking for a new method of filtering our internet. We currently have 1200+ sites utilizing cisco 891 and 891w routers for their external connection to the internet. Our current method of filtering them is utilizing whitelisting for http(80) traffic and a acl with an ip list for https(443) traffic. We also have specific https websites proxied that utilize akamia servers. This method is very difficult to maintain on our large scale. Is there a better method of doing this on the router to filter both http and https traffic via URL that does not invlove allowing all 443 or 80 traffic out?

Anthony,
Yes it does https inspection and the portal also block based on categories (Social Networking, Gamblin; to tell a few samples), IP address and domain name.
Get in touch with your Cisco Account Team or Cisco Partner/Reseller and get an evalution.

Adapter can't detect router if the SSID Broadcast is disabled, why? =(

Why can't my Linksys WUSB300N Adapter detect my Linksys WRT54GX SRX Router unless I broadcast the SSID?
I want my Router to be hidden, but everytime I try to disable the SSID Broadcast of my Router, my Linksys Adapter fails to locate it and I end up losing my connection to the router altogether. I am running Windows Vista and I have the 1.0.0.1 driver for Vista. What could I be doing wrong? Please help.

This is a common problem. Are there several other networks in your neighborhood? Are other users also not broadcasting their SSID?
I used to recommend that SSID broadcast be set to "disabled" for security reasons. But newer cracking methods have made this old trick worthless. It adds little or no security to your system. I now recommend that SSID broadcast be set to "enabled". This will help your computer find, and lock on to your router's signal. And this should give at least some slight boost in network performance.
For wireless security, you should be using WPA2, or at least WPA encryption, and a strong password. By strong password I mean at least 24 random characters including capital letters, small letters, and digits (but no spaces.). If you are using this type of security, you do not need to worry about broadcasting your SSID.

How to enable SSID broadcast? (E4200 Cloud f/w)

I got E4200 v.2 with the latest cloud firmware. On the previous (non-cloud) firmware there was an option to enable or disable SSID broadcast, and I disable it. Now I want to enable it back, but can not find this option in Cisco Connect Cloud.
So there is a question: how to enable SSID broadcast on the E4200 v.2 with Cisco Connect Cloud firmware?
wbr, bg

In your case, you need to reset the router to factory defaults, at which point the SSID will be set to broadcast and it cannot be disabled. To know more about why there is no option to disable the SSID broadcast anymore on the Cloud firmware, click here.

Cisco 891-W Wireless Issues

Hello Cisco,
hopefully someone with more expertise with the Cisco 891-W router can help me figure out my configuration issues? Right now I have the wired part of the 891-W working fine with my cable modem on VLAN1. But it's another story with my VLAN4 (wireless side). I've been working on this all week and am hoping some fresh eyes can catch what's wrong with my config.   Currently, my laptop will see the SSID of the Wi-Fi (891W-WiFi) but when I try to connect I get an 169.254.180.251 IP?   Not sure if it's the DHCP or some kind of bridging with the AP module with the correct VLAN settings with my configuration?  I'll post my config below for both the router and AP.  Thank you to anyone that can give me some insight!
I've attached the configs just in case this post was too messy to read with all the configurations.

Hi,
Leo is right and it should come as part of the kit when you order "800-IL-PM-4"
Full Kit should include:
Internal PoE module
48v PoE power cube
Power cord for the power cube
(2) standoffs with two notches
(1) standoff with one notch
(3) screws
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/access/800/860-880-890/hardware/installation/memory/880FRU.html#wp45561
If for some reason you did not get it or it fails and you need a new one you can use part number "ADP-80LB". I dont think Cisco will sell you this as a standalone item so you may have to look on Ebay, PChub or google to find a place that sells it.
Good luck!

How to stop SSID broadcasting

Where do I find the option to stop SSID broadcasting in my Actiontec MI424WR Rev. F Router?
The user guide is located here:
http://onlinehelp.verizon.net/consumer/bin/pdf/ActiontecMI1424WRUserManual.pdf
and it shows where that option is but the screens in the manual do not match the screens you see when you login into the router (not even close). I looked through every screen while logged into the router and I could not find it. I would expect it to be a check box to turn broadcasting on or off in the same screen that you assign the SSID name but the option is not there.
In addition, where can I find a link to download the user guide that matches this router?
I wanted to email Verizon tech support to ask them this but they do not accept email questions concerning Wireless issues. They should accept email questions about any issues concerning their equipment. I tried thrie chat support a few times but it keeps saying it is unavailable even during the listed hours of operation.
Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

WRT54G with USB11 v 2.6: Can't automaticaly reconnect after SSID broadcast disabled

Hi All,
I'm trying to make my network more secure. I've done all the basics, including disabling the SSID broadcast. The only problem is that after a few hours, I lose connectivity on the USB 11 wireless adapter and have to directly connect to the router via a cat 5 cable and reset the SSID to broadcast, which causes my network to find it and logs in. I reset the SSID broadcast to disable and get a few more hours of conenctivity until it drops again.
My router is ver 2.0 and my adapter is 2.6. This is the first time in 4 years I've had any probs with my wireless network.
My PC is brand new and pretty mid-high-end. Intel duo-core, 2 GB ram, etc...
Any help would be appreciated.

Best thing is to just enable SSID. It's a myth that disablling helps with security, it does for the average joe... a bit. but not really.
I found a great article about how disabling SSID doesn'treally do much for security at all, but i can't seem to laocte ti right now. I was googling wireless security stuff about a month or so ago, guess i should have bookmarked that one.

Cisco 891 not getting IP address with DHCP with latest IOS

Hi,
I have a few Cisco 891 routers that are configured as DHCP clients on the WAN interface.
For some reason when I boot the router with a late IOS, the router is not receiving an address.
It works just as expected with the older IOSes.
Any ideas of what changed?
This is how the interface is configured:
interface FastEthernet8
ip address dhcp
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
no ip proxy-arp
duplex auto
speed auto
no cdp enable
This IOS does not work:
c890-universalk9-mz.154-3.M2.bin
While these do work:
c890-universalk9-mz.150-1.M7.bin
c890-universalk9-mz.151-2.T2.bin
c890-universalk9-mz.152-1.T1.bin
Doing a "show ip interface brief" shows that FastEthernet8 is unassigned with the affected IOS.
With the older IOSes there is an IP address.
I had to downgrade two routers due to this issue, and did not have plenty of time to troubleshoot.
Both of the routers are connected to DSL from the same ISP...
Anyone seen anything like this before?

Add another one to the list.
I have a MacBookPro3,1 that connects to WIFI no problem. It used to connect to ethernet when I originally bought it, however I've been using WIFI exclusively for the past 2 years.
Recently I had a need to connect via ethernet and it wouldn't work at home (apple airport router). I next tried connecting via ethernet at a friends house using a linksys WRT54G, no dice either. I have the computer in the lab today (University Network) and I get the same error. 3 different locations, 3 different routers, all same problem. It used to connect to home and university networks ethernet right away.
IP address assigned is 169.xxx.xxx.xxx - subnet - 255.255.0.0
no other info. It's showing up as connecting to the network, but unable to communicate with DHCP. It does work if I enter all of the information in manually.
At first I thought I had messed something up in networking preferences as I tend to play around with things alot. However I did a complete system format, and fresh install of OSX Lion and I still have the same problem, without any of my meddling around to confuse things.
What gives?

Video over ip with cisco 891

Hello,
We used to communicate with our office in Vietnam by using a video conference terminal (polycom HDX 7000)
We just used H.323 protocol, without any gatekeeper, and called the other endpoint terminal with just the IP address.
Few days ago, we changed our internet access router with a cisco 891.
It's now impossible to etablish call with our video conference system.
I configured NAT to redirect specific ports, but it still doesn't work.
Maybe there is something special to configure on this router ?
I disabled the firewall, but no change !
Anyone can tell me if there is a service to activate/desactivate, or antything else, to use H.323 protocol this way ?
Thanks a lot
[sorry for my poor english]

Thanks a lot.
I disabled h323 ip nat service with "no ip nat service H323" and then I was able to etablish a call.
But there was still a little problem, I was able to send audio and video but I was unable to received it.
I had to select "NAT is not compatible with H323" on my Polycom terminal.
Now all is OK, thanks.

Survey fail even with SSID broadcast

I fail the initial survey every time I try with the WRE54G. No wireless networks show up - and I get over 20 when I try with other devices. I usually have SSID broadcast disabled, but have enabled it on the WRT54G router when setting up the RE. Any advice?Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Just make sure that the range expander is properly configured and well synchronized with the router , and make sure that the ssid broadcast on the range expander is also enabled.

SSID broadcasts a secure network but no security configured

Hi,
I have a wireless network using Cisco 1231G AP's in autonomous mode. Each AP is configured with a guest VLAN and this points to a BBSM server.
The issue I'm having is the SSID for guest access is configured as open with no security parameters set. However, my client (CB21AG) sees the network being broadcast sometimes as open and other times as secure.
AP configuration:
ssid bbsm
vlan 295
authentication open
guest-mode
IOS Version: 12.2(13)JA4

Any ideas or help on why I sometimes see the ssid broadcast as secure?
Thanks
Simon

It is one of mine. Yes. It connects to it no problem, just doesn't connect to the actual internet. Network diagnostics has all green lights until the ISP and/or Internet point. If I walk through diagnostics, it will get to the point where it says that the network requires a WEP password. I don't know why it does that because my network is not password-protected (husband claims it doesn't work well with his VPN system to get into work network). If I leave it blank, the connection will work. Eventually, after the computer is put to sleep, I will have the same problem upon waking up. I just tried renaming the network and removing all preferred networks and rebooting. Let's see how that works.

SSID Broadcast

Okay, I just have a quick question.
I have my router all set up; it's sa WRT54GS v7. Everything works, but there's one problem. I want to distinguish it from the million other 'linksys' routers, but there's a problem. I go to Wireless on the 192.168.1.1 page. When I change the SSID name, and click save changes, it doesn't give me a "Changes successful" message, and my router stops working, so I have to reset.
Note: I have also tried turning the SSID broadcast off, since that's what directions I saw on the internet read, and it does the same thing.
Thanks.

Are you trying to do this SSID change wirelessly? If so, then you are probably successfully changing your SSID, then, the router is kicking you off because its new SSID does not match the "linksys" SSID that your wireless adapter is setup to use.
When making changes to your router, you should always used a computer that is wired to your router.
To fix this problem, use a computer that is wired to the router. Change the SSID to a unique name. Leave the SSID broadcast set to "enabled". Click on "Save Settings", then wait (3-60 seconds) for the screen to refresh. Then power down your router. Wait one minute, then reboot router. Next, in your computer, display all available networks. Highlight your new network and click on "Connect".
If you are already using a computer that is wired to the router, and you are having this problem, then you probably are having a problem with communications between your router and computer. To fix this, try the following:
The router's "web pages" are built into the router, so you do not need an Internet connection to see them.
Use Internet Explorer, it usually works.
JavaScript must be enabled.
Use a computer that is wired to the router.
In the non-working computer, temporarily turn off your software firewall.
Point your browser to 192.168.1.1 , then login to your router. Your user name should be left blank. Your password is "admin" (with no quotes), unless you changed it.
If you are using Zone Alarm, right click on the ZA icon in the system tray (lower right corner of screen) and then click "Shutdown ZoneAlarm", and see if this fixes your problem. If this does not work, try the following with Zone Alarm: Open the ZAISS control center, go to Privacy, then temporarily turn off Ad Blocking and Cookie Control, and see if that fixes your problem.
Some Zone Alarm users have reported that adding 192.168.1.1 to their list of "trusted" addresses fixed the problem. This trick might also work with other firewalls.
If you are using Noton Internet Security with the Add-on Pack, be sure to turn off the Pop-up Blocker, and the Ad blocker. Some users have reported that they needed to uninstall the entire Norton Add-on Pack.
If you cannot get anything at 192.168.1.1 then perhaps this is not your router's address. Go to "Start" > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
A black DOS box will appear. Type in "ipconfig" (with no quotes), then hit the Enter key. Look at the "Default Gateway". Is it 192.168.1.1 ? Point your browser to the "Default Gateway", then login to your router.
If the above fails, disconnect your modem from the router, and try again. If this corrects your problem, then most likely you have a "modem-router" rather than an ordinary modem. Report back with this problem, and also state the make and exact model number of your modem (not the router).
If all of the above fails, power down your entire system, unplug it from the wall, wait one minute, then power up and try again.
If all of the above tips fail, then reset the router to factory defaults: Power down the router and disconnect all wires from it. Wait one minute. Power up the router, allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes), then press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release the button and allow the router to reset and reboot ( 2-3 minutes). Power down router. Wait one minute. Connect one computer, by wire, to a LAN port on the router. Boot up system. It should work.
If you still have trouble, then you need to download and install (or re-install) the latest firmware for your router. After the firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.

Disabling SSID Broadcast Question

I'm glad to say that my just installed router (WRT54GS-7) is working great. I have a question however on Disabling SSID Broadcast. According to the Linksys instructions, after I checked the disable button, I am required to change my profile. I am to click on an icon on the bottom right tool bar. The issue I have is that there is no icon to click on. If I disable my SSID Broadcast, how do I go about changing my profile?

If Windows is the primary connection software for your wireless, simply open Start-->Control Panel-->Network Connections
Right-click the wireless network connection in that list and click Properties, the second tab labeled Wireless Networks will allow you to create a profile for a wireless network. Profiles appear in the Preferred Networks list. If this area is greyed out that means you installed 3rd party software to handle your wireless connections. In which case you will need to open that software and configure the profile from within there.

Ok, so today I thought that I would tighten my security up a little, so I turned off SSID broadcast. So everything was fine, I shut down, when I booted back up, and it would not find or connect to the network. I had to turn broadcasting back on in order to connect, how to I get this to work?

I used to recommend that "SSID Broadcast" be set to "disabled" for security reasons. However, newer cracking methods have made this old trick practically worthless. Currently, I recommend leaving "SSID Broadcast" set to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Your primary wireless protection comes from using a good encryption method such as WPA or preferably WPA2, and from using strong passwords. WPA or WPA2 passwords (keys) should be at least 24 random characters (capital letters, small letters, and digits), and they should not contain any spaces. With this level of encryption, you do not need to worry about broadcasting your SSID.

Idea Tab a2109a wont connect to wifi without ssid broadcast

I have Idea Tab a2109a that connects to my wifi just fine, until i shut off the ssid broadcast from the router. At that point it stops connecting and says out of range. Laptops and a KindleFire have no problems maintaining a connection without the broadcast.
Running Android version 4.1.1
Kernel version 3.1.10
Model number IdeaTab A2109A
How do i maintain a connection on this tablet WITHOUT the ssid broadcast?

I tried your suggestions as much as I could at the corner coffee shop, but they didn't help.
I didn't follow them exactly because I misinterpreted turn WiFi on as turn it off. But when I sort of made up for that, I could not access it.
I realized my mistake when I came back home, went back to the coffee shop and tried again. Unfortunately, the signal was now one bar, and so I'm not sure that I've proved anything.
As I came back home, I searched for my network. I found it almost at my front door and with a strong signal. I walked around the outside and the access would come and go. Every time I could get access again it was always strong, even as neighbors' networks varied in signal strength. So, I couldn't double check if I would have gotten through with a weak signal.
So, I can access the web on my iPod touch on a closed network but not an open network.
I can access it at home with an ActionTec GT701-WG DSL modem. I can access it with a coffee shop provided access to ClearWire, a wireless Internet provider. This latter requires registration at hotspots.
I have software version 2.0.2 (5C1).
