Site Survey Failed

I tried installing the software, but every time it does its "Site Survey" it fails. So I never even get to find my wireless network. How do I fix this?

If you have WinXP you should un-install the Linksys Monitor and just re-install the adapter drivers...
Un-install the adapter drivers/software from Programs menu...Leave the adapter connected to the PC and reboot your computer...After reboting the computer, when the Found New Hardware Wizard window appears, click Install the software automatically (Recommended) then click Next.
NOTE: The Hardware Installation screen may appear indicating that the Adapter has not passed Windows Logo testing. Ignore the window and click Continue Anyway to proceed with the installation since the Adapter has been tested and found to work with Windows XP.When Windows has finished installing the driver, click Finish...The adapter drivers should be installed...
Click on Start and goto the Control Panel and double click on Network Connections, right click on Wireless Network Connection and click View Available Wireless Networks, see if you can locate your wireless network...If you find your wireless network, select it and attempt to connect...If your network is secured it will give you the opportunity to put the network/wep key, make sure you enter the correct network key and confirm it...It will connect...

Site Survey Fail?

"Site Survey Failed" is the message I keep gettting when trying to setup my Wireless-G Expander on my computer. I am using a Wireless-G broadband router on my main computer, was told to buy the range expander to help retreive the signal across the house to the other computer which is using Wireless-G USB Adapter, so that it to has internet. Please help, thank you!

Are you using the set-up CD on for the range expander? Better configure the range expander manually for faster resolution if it fails. If your actual wireless network is unsecured, you might just as well press the Autoconfig Button of the range expander for 15 seconds, and if you get 2 blue lights on the range expander that should be all fine.

WRE54G SIte Survey Fail

I just purchased the Wireless-G Range Expander WRE54G and when I insert the CD it says site Survey fail. I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem and was able to fix it. My actual wireless router is WRT54GS and the wireless card I have in my desktop is a WMP110 Rangeplus Wireless PCI Adapter.

As you have mentioned in your Post that you have already connected the WRE54G to your Computer and both the lights are Blue on your WRE54G, so i think that the reason when you run the setup disk you are getting that error message on your Computer (Site Survey Failed). As you have already assigned a static IP to your Computer, you dont have to run the setup disk on your Computer, you can configure all the settings on your WRE Manually. Follow the steps bellow.
Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your WRE54G, wait for 60 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your WRE54G...
On your Computer - Click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok, now in the Command Prompt window type "ping 192.168.1.240" without quotes and hit enter and check if you are getting any replies, If yes, then Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop). In the address bar type - 192.168.1.240 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Once you Login to the WRE setup page, First change the Wireless Network Name (SSID) and the channel and click on Save Settings... Once back to the same page, now under "Wireless Security" click on Enable and click on "Edit Security Settings" and now in the "Key1" you can type your security key and click on Save settings.
Now Unplug the power from the WRE and the Ethernet cable, wait for 30sec and re-conncet the power to the WRE and check the Light status on your WRE, But the "ACT and LINK" light should be Blue. Remove the static Ip from your Computer and Connect to your Wireless Network, Once connected to your Network again open the command prompt window and type "ping 192.168.1.240" and hit enter and check if you are getting any replies, if yes then your WRE is configured properly and ready to use.

Site Survey Failed--Try Again

I am trying to connect my Range Expander wre54g, ver 3.0 to my Linksys Router Wrt54g and I keep getting the site survey failed message when running the CD--I tried auto configuration but the expander doesnt expand my wireless range on my laptop..Any Ideas??

Reset the range extender for few seconds .....
Make sure that the wireless security on the router is disabled ....
Hold the Autoconfigure button for few seconds ..... once you get both lights Blue ....release it .....
Check on the wireless computer if it shows connected status under wireless network connections or not .....
If so power down the Router ..... your computer will be still connected to the Range Extender network .....
Use static Ip 192.168.1.50 ...subnet 255.255.255.0 ...& gateway 192.168.1.240 on the wireless computer under wireless network connection ....
Open setup page using http://192.168.1.240 ..... use admin as password without any username .....
Enable the wireless security on the same ...... click save settings .....
Use the same security settings on the router ...after powering up the router .....
Power cycle the network & see if it still shows connected or not .....

Detail workflow for site survey?

Hi All,
I am new in this field. I had saw some information and I can catch the basic meaning of wireless LAN. But I can not find any information about the detail workflow when doing site survey and how to work when an AP doing as site survey client, also when a bridge work as a repeater. When will a client doing a site survey? and the detail workflow of site survey? Is there any problem that may make site survey fail? Does any body know it? Can any body give me a hand? Thank You!
Best Regards
Teru Lei

Here are a few URL's that should help you with the site survey. These links have a list of things that could interfere with the site survey. http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wireless/airo_350/350cards/windows/incfg/win5_apf.htm http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wireless/airo_350/accsspts/ap350scg/ap350ch3.htm#1016921

Wre54g Setup... Says Survey failed? what does that mean?

Ok I just bough a Links Wre54g and Im SO lost. We got it to expand and boost our wireless so my Husband can play his xbox live with a better signal but while trying to set it up I got so confused I almost gave up till I found this.
Heres how it started
1. plugged in wre54g
2. put in Disc for setup.
3. pressed and held auto config button like it told me to do.
4. only ONE blue lite. other was blinking red and blue.... Confused
5. looked online for help.
6. did what it told me. Plugged ethernet cable into it. Both lights are now blue.
7. started disc. and hit setup.
8. it started its site survey........ the STOPPED. it says "site Survey Failed. try again."
9. Tried again...... and again...... and again. each time same thing "site survey failed. try again"
10. Got REALLY pissed and stomped around house for 30 mins. *lol*
Now Im here and STILL dont know what to do. I tryed the static Ip... Nothing. I tryed reset.... NOTHING.
PLEASE HELP ME. IM GOING INSANE.
the guy at the store said I might need the WRE54N not the WRE54G.... NO idea what he ment. but I have 13 days to figure it out so I can exchange it for the N if I need to . Plz help me stay sane what do I do.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your Expander, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...
1. Connect your Expander to a computer, click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>> Network Connections - Right click on the icon for Local area connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the following IP address'- Provide IP Address - 192.168.1.5, Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0...Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window...
2. Now open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.240.
Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...It should open your Expander set-up...
3. Once you get to the set-up page you can follow this link to change the Expander Settings...
NOTE : The link also explains to check the Wireless Settings on your Router...
4. While changing the Expander settings you have to make sure that the Wireless Settings(SSID/Network Name and WEP/WPA Key) are identical on both the devices(Router and Expander)...Also make sure to change the Expander's default IP to match your network and Gateway Address should be your Router's address...ex. Expander's IP Address : 192.168.1.240(assuming your router's default IP Address is 192.168.1.1), Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1...
5. After configuring the Expander you should disconnect it from the Computer and go into Local Area Connection TCP/IP Properties and set it back to Obtain IP Address Automatically...Disconnect the Expander from the computer and power cycle both the devices(Expander and Router)...Your Expander should be configured...

Wireless Site survey tools and Software requirement

Dears,
I have Cisco wireless site survey to distributed and selected Wireless AP on big building contain 20 floor,
what are the prerequisites and is there any free tool from Cisco or third party software , that can help my to upload all building map to get accurate results,
AP model: 1602I-E-K9
Thanks in Advanced,

Is there any tools , I can used to do the site survey ?
Won't make any difference what tool to use if you don't know the basics and requirement in wireless site survey. As what George and Scott has mentioned, AirMagnet and Ekahau are the two largest and most popular wireless site survey programs in the market right now.
However, there are a number of topic that won't be covered in AirMagnet and Ekahau computer-based-training or web training. So getting the tools is half the "fun".
Get someone to do it for you. Tag along. Ask a lot of relevant questions. Observe what they do. Observe the tools they are using and what info their eyes are focusing into.
In some cases, when I do site survey, I only use a Cisco 7925G. That's all I use. So far my method, even though it is unorthodox, hasn't failed me one bit.

Trouble getting range expander to complete site survey

I was able to connect my Wireless G range expander to my router with WEP disabled. When I tried to get the expander to see my router with WEB enabled, the setup wizard site survey keeps failing. Any suggestions?

Fixed the problem by calling the 800# tech support. Although slow, the guy walked me thru it. I am connected but I do not see any improvement in the signal? I have read thru the enitre postings and have a few things to try....any other suggestions? The Router and Range Expander are on the same level and only 20ft apart and the desktop is around the corner another 8 feet.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Question about WLAN Site Surveys with 802.11n APs - 1142s

I do site surveys a little differently that everyone else nowadays, I believe. In the past, I used an autonomous 1230 or 1240, but now I use a lightweight 1142. I configure a port in a room to be on the AP VLAN and I connect my 1142 to the port and hang it where I want - it then gets on the controller and start broadcasting just like the finished product will. This works well except for the time it takes me to configure a port on the switch and the bootup time for the AP. I'm one of the Networks Architects on a campus of almost 200 buildings, so I have access to all the routers and switches and can configure anything I need while onsite.
Now I want to have someone else (in-house) to do our surveys - but this person(s) does not have access to switches and routers, and that won't ever change.
I tried configuring a lightweight 1142 in HREAP mode to handoff to this person, but it appears the power and channel settings don't stick on the 5 GHz side.
Scrapping that idea, I now have to build out an autonomous 1142 for site surveying. I missed out on this step because I went from buying 1242s (can jump between lightweight and autonomous) to 1142s (which didn't have an autonomous image at that time, I believe). This is why I started surveying with lightweight 1142s.
I'm curious if anyone has gone through the configuration of an autonomous 1142 and wouldn't mind sharing their "lessons learned". I haven't seen a matrix of features that are supported/not supported on 1142s when configured for lightweight vs. autonomous.
I currently aim for designing around the 5 GHz radios set to 10 dBm, 20% cell overlap. I also turn on 40 MHz channels in 5 GHz range. This usually ends up with an AP in every other or every third classroom, depending on how old the building is and how many times it has been renovated. I can't "just throw APs out there" since each building is different - some are thin concrete block, some are poured cement, and some are block with metal mesh and stucco. Those usually end up with on AP per classroom.
Does anyone have a matrix on what can and cannot be turned on in an autonomous AP? I would like to get my config as close to the lightweight scenario we deploy for all of our production WLANs.

There is no matrix as to what you're asking for. I've done conversions and configurations of AP's from Lightweight to Autonomous and vice-versa. The configuration of the autonomous AP can be identical to the Lightweight AP from a client perspective.
My current setup has 3 SSID's (VoIP, Data, and Guest) on the autonomous AP. Couple things I do:
1. PoE powered AP through a Tessco power pack.
2. VLANs have to be enabled on the AP (1 for each SSID)
3. The SSID's will have to be created and each AP mapped to a VLAN
4. The SSID's will be need to be enabled on both radios if desired.
The easiest way to configure the AP is to power it with either the power cord.
Console into the AP and let it boot. Assign an IP address to the BVI 1 interface.
Assign an IP address on the wired NIC of our laptop and plug an ethernet cable into the AP's ethernet port.
Configure the AP as listed above via the web gui.
This is by no means a complete answer, but your questions were all over the map.

Jerry

Looking for a beginners guide ot site survey

Good evening,
Getting ready to do a site survey of a rather large facility... About to switch to an entirely different wireless nic (intel 3945ABG) which isnt performing as well as its cousin, 2200BG. Reviewing the stats of the cards it doesnt make sense as intel claims (from my understanding) the 3945 is more sensitive.
Given the sheer size (220,000+ sq feet) of my facility i want to ensure i do this correctly the first time around. I have the given equipment which will be deploying this card.
What i have done in the past for resolving some issues is going every 5 feet and recording by hand the SNR using something along lines of netstumbler. Is this correct?
any suggestions will be great.

Conducting a Site Survey

Does anyone where I can find a site survey checklist for installing a network infrastructure?
I'm looking for something to document when assessing a new office location to setup a network for a small business.

I have jotted down a few of the important things that need to be considered for setting up a network infrastructure.
The following questions must be answered regarding installation site readiness:
1. Are there any special site considerations (this can include using specific building entrances,
security check points, reception desks, etc)
2. Are all the original console and auxiliary cables, interface adaptors and rack mounting hardware
available if necessary?
3. Where is the equipment physically being installed? In a rack or on a table?
4. Is the necessary power available?
5. Is the WAN circuit installed and connection ready for the installation (i.e. - CSU/DSU installed
and configured, frame-relay active, etc.)?
6. Is the LAN connection available and ready for installation?
7. Is there an analog phone line within 50 feet of the installation location for dial up access?
8. Are the cables you have received of the correct length and presentation for the LAN and WAN
connectivity for your site?
9. Have the relevant TELCO lines been installed and working?

Creation of web site 'null' failed

I finally decided to give Azure a try and the first thing I do - creating a simple web site - fails with:
"Creation of web site 'null' failed."
Details say: "Provisioning failed."
I am simply trying to "quick create" a simple website, with no database or anything. Researching the Web, I see other people with the same problem, but no real solution. Some answers on this forum suggest subscribing to the web site service: I believe
I am subscribed...How can I tell? I do have "Web Sites" in the left pane...

Site link failed

Hi All,
We have a client with one CAS & 4 primary sites (All the sites are SCCM 2012 R2) because of some maintenance work one of the primary site was down for few hours & now in site hierarchy the link shows as failed. when we hover over the link it
shows that the Global data replication between the CAS & the Primary site is failing.
What we have tried :-
1. Run the replication link analyzer - Its unable to resolve the issue & just shows the names of replication groups which are failing.
2. Run the SPdiagdrs command on primary site DB - This shows the Global replication groups which are failing & are not active.
3. Run the Update RCM_DRSInitilazationTracking set initializationstatus=7 where ReplicationGroup = "Group Name" - To reinitialize the replication.
4. configuration data.pub => Drop these on Primary server RCM.BOX - As mentioned
here. This solved the issue initially but the replication was failed again after some time.
5. rcmctrl.log on CAS shows this error :-

Infopath 2007 "Updating Site Content Failed"

I get this error for just about everything I do with the forms we are publishing via Infopath 2007. I believe it is because our forms have a fair amount of Promoted fields in them (more than 30 each).
I've seen this article and think that maybe it will alleviate the problem: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/958139
The problem is the hotifx that this references is not available for public download and when I try to go through the great new Microsoft Support site (piece of absolute ____) I am unable to get a phone number to call, submit an e-mail or anything without giving them a credit card for payment. I do not intend to pay money to get the right to download or be sent a hotfix.
Does anyone know if there is a way I can test to verify that I indeed "need" this hotfix before I spend money out of my pocket?
The forms I have published to form libraries in MoSS 2007 Enterprise have many promoted fields. I can create a new content type in the site collection via Infopath if I keep the promoted fields under about 25, however once I publish it I can no longer change the content type (get the "Updating Site Content Failed" message) and have to create a new content type to make changes to any form I have. As you can imagine this is a problem as I have to constantly change the template url on my libraries and constantly re-link all of the saved forms in the libraries.
Does anyone have any ideas how to realistically fix this outside of the hotfix?
I've tried every method I can find on the internet, but nothing seems to work.

A little more information. On the server itself I don't show any indication or problem in the Event logs related to this issue.
However, on the workstation that I am attempting to publish from (Same subnet, local Gigabit Connection) I get 4 MSSOAP Errors:
Event Type: Error      Event Soruce MSSOAP
Event Category: Generic   Event ID: 16
Description: Soap error: Connection Time out
I get two of those and two of these:
Event Type: Error   Event Source: MSSOAP
Event Category: General Event ID: 16
Description: Unspecified HTTP error.
I went into the sharepoint central admin and changed the timeout value (which was 30 seconds) in the infopath forms section to 120 seconds and it hasn't made any difference.
Edit: Yes I have tried from multiple workstations. We don't load office on the server itself or I would try from there as well.

Wireless Site-Survey for High Density Environment

Hi,
I have done many Wireless SIte-Surveys in my career. But this will the first time, I am going to do a Site-Survey for High Density environment (School with Byod 1:1 design).
Currently, the school has a Wireless network in place. The current wireless design includes 3502 APs, 5508 WLC and Cisco Prime. The customer has issues with sufficient bandwidth in classrooms which limiting the students and teachers to access the learning content.
It is understood that there was no initial Site-Survey conducted, the AP positioning was made based on their knowledge.
Now, I am not sure as how to conduct the Survey here?
Do I need to conduct an Active Survey by connecting to the existing Wireless Network in the School? Or just passive Survey will be enough to determine the exact issues with the current design and provide the recommendations?
I have gone through the Cisco High Density design and white papers to start with.
Thanks,
CJ

Before you do the site survey, I'd do the initial breakdown of the LAN.
1. What kind of switch ports are we talking about?
2. Are the APs connected AND negotiated to 1 Gbps ports?
3. What is/are the switch uplinks? 100 Mbps, 1- or 10- Gbps, Etherchannel?
4. Line errors on the links between the AP and the switch, uplinks and the link between the WLC and the switches?
5. WLC link? How many are used? Are they LAG or not?
6. Configuration of the WLC must be checked.
Once you've checked these do I start talking about wireless:
1. What problems are the staff/students experiencing?
2. How many APs to a classroom? How big is the class?
3. Determine what kind of traffic are each class trying to push?
4. Where are the APs located in relations to the staff/student?
5. Verify co-channel interferrence. I know they have 3502 but I've seen people disable CleanAir.
6. Verify what kind of NIC cards are used and whether drivers have been updated or not.
I'm in the middle of improving our wireless coverage in >98 schools. This means I am now deploying 1 AP per classroom. In areas where the students/staff converge, I put additional APs (both indoors and outdoors).
