Disabling 802.11b, what issues to coverage?

Hi All
I want to soon disable 802.11b support on our AP 1231 with B/G cards. I want this because I don't like to have 802.11b clients connecting and taking down the speed.
The question now is, how would our signal coverage change if I put 'power local cck 1' on the device?
Or I would only allow theese rates:
6.0 9.0 12.0 18.0 24.0 36.0 48.0 54.0 which are only supported by 802.11g cards.
Would that change the signal range a lot? Or do you have better ideas to disable 802.11b support?
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Here is some info related to disabling 802.11b;
Q. How can I set the AP so that only IEEE 802.11g clients can connect? I do not want the IEEE 802.11b clients to connect and slow down the wireless network. There is a second, parallel 802.11b network for unsecured clients.
A. In order for the AP to receive only 802.11g clients, complete these steps in the GUI:
Go to the Network Interfaces section and click Radio 0-802.11G.
Click the Settings tab at the top of the Radio 0-802.11G window.
Choose Disable for these data rates:
1.0
2.0
5.5
11.0
Choose Require for all the other data rates. These other data rates are:
6.0
9.0
12.0
18.0
24.0
36.0
48.0
54.0
Click Apply at the bottom of the window.
From this good doc;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps430/products_qanda_item09186a008009483e.shtml
As for coverage; A fundamental rule is that as data rates increase, range decreases. 802.11b uses DSSS to support data rates of 11, 5.5, 2, and 1 Mbps each, with correspondingly longer ranges as the data rates decrease. 802.11g uses OFDM to support data rates of 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, and 6 Mbps each, with correspondingly longer ranges as the data rates decrease. The higher data rates supported by 802.11g result in shorter range than the range supported by the maximum 802.11b data rate. Still, OFDM is a more efficient means of transmission than is DSSS, meaning that at a given range, higher OFDM-based data rates will be supported than DSSS-based data rates (all other things being held constant). That being said your range difference should not be too drastic
From this superior Cisco doc (Have a look at Table 4 for some good Range approximations);

Help Enabling 802.11b Support

Can anyone help? All I want to do is enable 802.11b support on my Cisco 877W. My 802.11g clients can see and attach to it no problems. My 802.11b clients cannot see it at all. I have tried all sorts but nothing has helped. My config looks like this:
interface Dot11Radio0
no ip address
encryption key 1 size 128bit 7 BC48CE99C4E9B683819990D3C1A5 transmit-key
encryption mode wep mandatory
ssid *****
authentication open
speed basic-1.0 basic-2.0 basic-5.5 6.0 9.0 basic-11.0 12.0 18.0 24.0 36.0
48.0 54.0
station-role root
no dot11 extension aironet
bridge-group 1
bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled
What do I need to add to make it visible and available to 802.11b clients?
Many Thanks,
Matt

I'd start by defaulting the AP back to factory default, no WEP, no authentication.
Check to see if the 802.11b clients can connect.
If all the 802.11b clients are running the same software, check to see that they are up-to-date drivers & client software. If you're using the MS client software (Zero Wireless Config) try a client using the vendor's client software instead.
If the clients are not eve associating, look at the basic parameters: things like preamble length (legacy default is "long" which is a one meg data rate)
If you can get the 802.11b client to connect whith all open parameters, then add WEP. Be advised that some clients need the WEP entered as HEX, not ASCII.
For example ASCII "ABCD" would be "41 42 43 44" in hex ... make sure you're using the same system. IF youre using something like "12345abcde" that can be a valid (but incorrect) hex string when ou really intend for it to be ASCII.
Also note that leading or training spaces (ASCII 20) are valid characters. Make sure you do not have leading or training spaces in your WEP (unless you really want them there, in whch case, make sure they're there)
Make sure the Ethernet format is correct: use the Web GUI to set up. Check the parameters on the "Interfaces" page and do not (at least initially) use the "Best throughput" or "Best Range" settings, leave it at "Default Settings"
If your 802.11b clients are PDAs, bar-code scanners, or other hand-held devices, check that they are at default settings for the standard 802.11b protocols; some use proprietary protocols for better performance or security.
That's about it for me ... let us know if any of that changes (works / doesn't work, but acting differently / doesn't work, looks the same).
Good Luck
Scott

Cisco Access Point Configuration to support 802.11b & 802.11g protocol

How do i Configure access point to support both 802.11b & 802.11g clients on a Cisco 1121G series access point(AIR-AP1121G-A-K9)
Regards
Hitesh

Hi Hitesh,
Check out this excerpt from the 1121g AP Installation guide section on enabling the 802.11b and 802.11g radios.
In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA and later, the access point radios are disabled by default, and there is no default SSID. You must create an SSID and enable the radios before the access point will allow wireless associations from other devices. These changes to the default configuration improve the security of newly installed access points. Refer to the "Configuring Basic Security Settings" section for instructions on configuring the SSID.
In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)JA or earlier, the access point radio is enabled by default, and the default SSID is tsunami.
To enable the radio interfaces, follow these instructions:
Step 1 Use your web-browser to access your access point.
Step 2 When the Summary Status page displays, click Network Interfaces > Radio0-802.11B or Radio0-802.11G and the radio status page displays.
Step 3 Click Settings and the radio settings page displays
Step 4 Click Enable in the Enable Radio field.
Step 5 Click Apply.
Here is a link to the actual document:

Time Capsule (SIM) expand network with 802.11b/g Airport Extreme

Hi, I try to expand a Airport-Network which is set up with a Time Capsule (SIM (latest model). I like to use an Airport-Extreme-Basestation to expand the network. The two devices will be connected wireless. In the helpfile there is a explantation how to do this with 802.11n-devices but when it comes to the 802.11b/g-devices it just says I should have a look on the apple support-pages. I do not find anything there.
I tried everything, but it did not work. I've had a Time Capsule (first model) which died some days ago (the well known powersupply problem). With this Time Capsule I did not had any problems to set up a WDS.
What to do?

But this menu exists and the UFO does not join the network, so I have to select any of this settings!
try these steps provided by Tesserax:
Setting Up Time Capsule as a Second Wireless Router
802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station -> 802.11n Time Capsule
With "mixed" AirPorts, you will need to configure both routers into a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Your neighbor's AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) will be the main and your Time Capsule (TC) will be the remote base station in this WDS.
To simplify setup, you should connect your TC directly to the AirPort's LAN port by Ethernet. Once the WDS is configured, you can disconnect the TC and place it at the desired location.
The following are the basic configuration steps to create a WDS:
(Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, jot down the AirPort IDs (MAC addresses) for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS. The AirPort ID and is printed on the label on the bottom/side of the base station.)
Main Base Station Setup - AEBS
o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as the main base station.
o Open AirPort Utility (located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
o Select the main base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base
Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window.
o Enter the base station password if necessary. If the base station is using the
default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
o Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
o Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
o Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computer to connect to this base station.
o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of the base station you want to connect to this base station.
o Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
Remote Base Station Setup - TC
o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as a remote base station.
o Open AirPort Utility (in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
o Select the remote base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
o Enter the base station password, if necessary. If the base station is using the default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
o Enter the same network password as the main base station, if necessary.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
o Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
o Enter the AirPort ID of the main base station in the WDS Main field.
o Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.
(ref: Pages 42-46 of "Designing AirPort Networks.)
802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station -> 802.11n Time Capsule
o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
o 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.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and 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.
o 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.
o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.
does this fix it for you ?

Aironet 1140N in mixed mode not working with 802.11b/g Clients

I have a new Aironet 1140N Access point , the model is number AIR-AP1142N-A-K9, my main problem in that i have Nokia E71 smartphones on the network, but they cannot connect to the Network, the Access Point SSID is not showing on the List of Available Devices if i Scan using the Phone,
All Laptops are runing Win 7 Pro and they connect quite ok, The phones (8 of them) at HotSpots connects without problems, the Spec says they are compatible with 802.11b/g and the Aironet Access point provides 802.11a/g/n.
Since the phone has the 802.11g which is compatible with the Access Point, why cant it Pick it? the Access Point is Operating in Mixed Mode.
Bonnie

There are basically two "flavors" of WDS that the AirPorts support: static & dynamic.
o A static WDS allows for a main, relay, and remote base stations in the configuration. This only operates in the 802.11g radio mode. Its advantage is it is well suited when you are trying to cover a considerable linear range ... like a rectangular house where the Internet connection comes in at one of the shorter sides and you want wireless at the other end. The biggest disadvantage of this type of WDS is that for every base station added, you lose half the overall bandwidth.
o A dynamic WDS allows for only a single main and multiple remotes. Think of a wheel with the main at the center and the remotes as spokes of the wheel. The advantage of this type of WDS is it operates in the 802.11n radio mode and doesn't suffer a significant bandwidth loss like the static version.
As a minimum, a dynamic WDS requires two 802.11n AirPorts (or Time Capsules). You can create a static WDS with either all 802.11g AirPorts or a mix of 802.11n & 802.11g AirPorts. Note; however, you cannot create a dynamic WDS with mixed mode base stations.

Did anyone manage to connect to a 802.11b network?

My MBP won't connect to my 802.11b router wirelessly.
It gets an IP, but the broadcasts it sends are not responded by the router or any other computer on the network.
The most likely option is, that the MBP broadcast in a "g" only mode, regardless of the fact that it should be "b/g" compatible.
My airport card firmware is 0.1.17
I wonder if anyone else can connect to a "b" router. I know that almost everyone has "g" noadays, but I don't and it bugs me that I'll have to get a new one.
MacBook pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well, off course I tried all the security/no-security options the router supports. Won't work even without security.
I repeat: the Mac connects with IP (real) and all. It says it's connected, it also appears on the list of wireless connection on the router - but the transmissions the Mac sends (and it sends a lot) are not responded.
A friend of mine, a system guy, who tried to check this, said that the Mac's transmissions don't even look like "b" transmission - they are longer (or something of that sort).
The thing is: If I knew a way to enter the wireless card driver configuration, it probably would solve it. and I don't mean through the system preferences - there's nothing serious there.
On a PC it is so easy: you simply tell the card to work in a b/g mode, rather then a g only mode.

Photosmart C7250 wireless 802.11b fails

My new C7250 works well with USB and wired ethernet, but fails miserably (prints slowly, if at all) on my wireless 802.11b network. All other devices work well on my wireless network. I've spent many hours with HP and exhausted their first line support. They supposedly have opened a case but I have heard nothing in a week. Meanwhile, I took a network trace using WireShark and it shows a large number of retransmissions. (I'm expert with application/network performance profiling.) All you have to do is browse to http://192.168.1.xxx/ to test transmission -- don't even need to install drivers or printers to see the errors. This problem appears to be with wireless support on the C7250.
Has anyone experienced problems or success with 802.11b on this device? How about 802.11g? I would be willing to upgrade my wireless if I knew that it would resolve the problem.
What does it take to escalate a probem with HP for resolution?

All 2004 and newer wireless HP Inkjet printers are compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b networks (otherwise we couldn't get 802.11g Wi-Fi certification). Besides testing for interoperability, we test for a minimum wireless throughput at the TCP layer.
I'd like to see the internal connectivity report that you can generate by pressing the <setup> and <#> buttons simultaneously. Scan the report to a memory card, copy it to your PC and post the image here.
It will tell me information about your wireless network and other networks in the area.
I have a couple of other questions:
Does the slow printing go away after a power cycling the printer and then does it return later?
Does the slow printing go away after a power cycling the wireless-router and then does it return later?
Are you seeing retransmissions of TCP, 802.3 (ethernet) frames or 802.11 frames? I wasn't sure at what layer you are sniffing the data at?
What make and model 802.11b wireless-router are you using?
Do you have encryption enabled? Does disabling encryption change the speed of printing?
How many wireless PC's (Macs?) to you have on your network? Do they all exhibit slow printing?
Have you changed the default fragmentation settings of your wireless-router?
At home, I routinely get 1.5 Mbytes/sec transfer rates between my 802.11g wireless-routers and my HP printers and about 700 Kbytes/sec in 802.11b mode.
One other thing you can try is to go to the printers internal web page, browse over to the Networking, Wireless, Advanced page and enable the configuration "In an infrastructure network use 802.11b behavior".

Get 5800 to use 802.11b even when the router suppo...

I wonder if there's a way to get the 5800 to use 802.11b mode WiFi although the router supports both 802.11b/g. I checked all the connection settings menus and even in the advanced connection settings but I didn't find a way to do this. So does anyone of you guys here know if this is possible at all and if so how it could be done? thx

As I said, it would be dependent upon the hardware. Hope that its not a hardware shortcoming and a software thing which may be resolved in the future.

Stuck with a 802.11b/g router?

I have a MI424WR (Rev E) router with a 50/25 plan. This router only supports the 802.11b/g networking standards, which of course, has a theoretical wireless speed of 54Mbps, but in actuality doesn't get anywhere near those numbers due to overhead. Therefore, I'm paying for speeds I can't wirelessly obtain. I've found my way around the issue by connecting to a 2nd router which supports 802.11n, but I'm not really sure why I should have to do this. Why has Verizon supplied me with such old technology? I did some research and found this particular router began production around 2008. Is this a ploy to get people to spend more for faster speeds, or buy the "advanced" router for $100, or should I have been given a newer model modem which actually does support 802.11n?
I tried to do a chat with support, but he just wanted me to go through some pointless troubleshooting steps. I got frustrated trying to explain that my issue is hardware limitations, not router settings and ended the chat.

hlppls wrote:
Verizon bases the fact that the wired portion of the router supports your service. They still will not guarantee wireless speed so the wireless portion of the router is a just an extra feature. Turn off your router and call in saying it doesn't work. They will send you another one and chances are hight that it might be a gen 3. Even if it is a gen 3 they still will not guarantee you wireless.
Keep in mind that doing this *might* invoke a router rental fee or replacement charge on the bill, if Verizon is still doing that. He may be just be better off buying another cheap router with Wireless N or AC and either setting it up as an AP/Switch, or making the ActionTec into a backup router and take it out of the picture entirely.

802.11b vs 802.11a & g

Hi there, any one can give me some idea on the best practise about the choosing the WLAN 802.11 protocols.
I know that the in WLAN network, all device shares the same access point in half duplex, so using 11g, it would give us 45mbps to share than 11mbps (11b). therefore, I would think it is good practitice to turn off 11b on all APs, but is there any disavantage by doing so?
also on the cisco Wireless Lan Controlller web interfarce, Wireless --> 802.11a/n --> network, how to setup the DATA RATES. by default the 1 to 5.5 mbps has been disalbed. 6 to 9 mbps are mandatory, then 12 to 54 mbps supported what is the difference and impact by changing those premeter.
thanks. roy

I would think it is good practitice to turn off 11b on all APs, but is there any disavantage by doing so?
You should know what your clients before you embark in this activities. There are still some clients, such as old laptops or USB adaptors to medical equipments to brand new hand-held bar code scanners, that will read nothing but 802.11b and on 1, 2 or 5.5 Mbps data rates.
The reason why these clients are still prevalent is because of the cost to purchase these wireless cards from storage houses.

Problem with new Time Capsule w/ 7.5 Firmware Slow Speeds on 802.11b/g

I purchased a new 1TB Time Capsule with v. 7.5 Firmware last week. This Time Capsule is replacing a first gen 500GB TC with Firmware v. 7.4.2. I have 2 Macbook Pros connecting to the new Time Capsule via 802.11n at 5Ghz and 2 iPhones and 1 first gen Mac Pro connecting to it via 802.11b/g at 2.4Ghz. The Macbook Pros connecting at 5Ghz move data fine. The connection is very fast. Speedtest.net average about 20Mbps down and 2Mbps up. The devices connecting on the 2.4Ghz radio are slow as molasses. They test at less than 30k down and 30k up. Beyond that they have trouble moving data around the LAN as well. There are no sources of major interference near the TC. In fact the TC is in the same location as the old unit which was also running at 2.4Ghz with no problems. I contacted Apple tech support and then went to a local Apple store for an exchange. They gave me another new TC but the problem persists with the new units as well. This evening I took the new Time Capsule into the basement and isolated from any kind of interference with no success. I plugged in the old TC and the 802.11g devices were back up to speed.
Has anyone had any similar issues with the new AE or Time Capsule? I'm sure it's not unheard of to get two defective units but it's not likely. So I am thinking there may be an issue with the new firmware. I tried to downgrade to 7.4.2 but the new units require 7.5. Any suggestions? All network settings are the same as they were with the previous Time Capsule. The only thing that's changed is that both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz radios are active.

Hi there,
got some problems with Time Capsule and 7.5 Firmware as well. Since it is my first device, I have no experience with older firmwares or models though.
It is impossible to connect to the 5GHz network. Neither when I have 5GHz and 2.4Ghz in one network or when I set a separate network for the 5GHz.
I always get a timeout message, I also tried deactivating the guest network and I also tried without any password, just would not connect to the 5GHz. By the way, I am sitting 50cm away from the TC and of course, I do have a MacBook Pro that supports 802.11n standard, a brand new MacBook Pro 13.
So, any ideas? I'm going to call Apple on Monday, can't check if it's the notebook, cause I do not have a second device to test ist. My iPhone works fine (802.11g), the 2.4Ghz also works fine with rates around 130-145 usually when close to the TC.
I also noticed that my MacBook Pro won't connect to the 802.11n when compatibility with 802.11b/g is activated. Then it runs with 802.11g instead....
pretty annoying, thought this would work right away?!

Disable 802.11b/g

Can i disable 802.11b/g in my new Time Capsule that supports 802.11ac? Ultimaltely I want to disable all standards under 802.11ac (when iPhone/iPad finally supports it)
I have read old wifi standards slows downs routers/acess points etc.

Can i disable 802.11b/g in my new Time Capsule that supports 802.11ac?
Sorry, but no.
Whlle you could customize and maximize previous versions of the Time Capsule, Apple has "upgraded" things by removing the settings that would allow this in the "new" Time Capsule.

Lenovo Ideacentre B540p Wifi 802.11b/g/n Able to Detect 5Ghz?

I am currently using asus router RT-N56U (Dual band - 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz) to share a 200mbps fibre boardband.
However, Lenovo B540p wireless network connection is unable to detect the router's 5Ghz network, only able to detect 2.4Ghz. I thought 802.11n is supposed to detect both 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi wenlianglo,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
The Wifi cards provided on this model onlys supports single band up to 802.11b/g/n 2.4ghz
It will not be able to detect the 5ghz band network.
It is somewhat similar to this brand and model that max out at 2.4ghz
http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/product-briefs/wireless-n-7260-bluetooth...
The 5ghz version of that is a Wireless AC 7260 that operates at 2.4 and 5ghz.

Would AX be incompatible, even for AirTunes, with a 802.11b AC?

My main router at home is a Netgear WGT624. From reading the discussions (and the user guide) I've learned that AX cannot extend my wireless network because the WGT624 doesn't support WDS.
OK, I thought, then I'll run an Ethernet cable from the Netgear router to my old iBook. It has a 802.11b original AC installed. I'll set it up as a base station. And then I'll connect the AX to that in client mode so I can at least have AirTunes.
Well, the iBook is putting out a very nice signal. But AX can't connect. Flashing amber. So is this what the AX User Guide means when it says "If your computer has +an Airport Extreme Card installed+ you can use AirTunes" (p. 18)?
And, does this mean that if I bought a refurbished 802.11g AC and put it into my other spare machine, a later eMac that takes the g card, that I could turn that into a base station and finally have AirTunes? In fact, wouldn't it mean I could extend the wireless network because the Extreme card supports WDS?
(Or should I just replace my Netgear with another AX?)

From reading the discussions (and the user guide) I've learned that AX cannot extend my wireless network because the WGT624 doesn't support WDS.
The AX can not wirelessly extend the Netgear's network but the AX can still join the Netgear's network as a wireless client. Then the AX's music streaming and printing services will be available to anyone connected to the Netgear (via wireless or Ethernet).
