Use of Cisco Aironet AP1242AG as a wireless client

Hi guys! I am in possession of two cisco Access points (AP1242AG) and I would like to use them to replace my current configuration (in the first picture) in our family home. Currently I have two Asus Eee boxes that act as "repeaters".
It works so far, but it is not so stable and increases the latency. I tried to setup one of the Cisco access points as repeater, but without success.
It says that cisco repeater communicates only with Cisco equipment.
My second idea was to try something most simple. I disabled the security settings on D-link router and tried to setup the AP1242 as Universal Workgroup Bridge client, where Radio0 would connect to Router D-LINK 600, and crossover cable would connect AP1242 and the Asus Box.
I managed to configure trough HyperTerminal, and it did associate (Cisco with D-Link), I was able to see the Cisco Web interface over LAN on that asus box, however I was not able to access internet. Then I tried to enable the other Radio1, and set it up as Access point and bridge those two radios, but that did not help either. What am I doing wrong?
This is actually how I would like to have it: Radio0 as Universal WGB client, and Radio1 as Access Point.
If that is not an option, i could connect the asus box with LAN cable to AP1242 and make it act as Virtual AP.
3rd option, is to connect two Cisco Access Points together with LAN cable. One of the would connect to Router as Universal WGB, and the other would be what it supposed to be - Access Point
The reason why I would like to use Cisco in this role is because I believe that cisco has better output power (send/receive) and it would be more stable, and possibly faster. If you have any better idea how I could use this 2 access points, feel free to suggest. It is a shame to have them in my drawers instead od using them.
I attached pictures of 3 possible scenarios, and current configuration of the AP1242AG #1
I am new to Cisco equipment, so I really thank you for your time and help!

Thanks for the response.
Everything works fine if I use your suggested setup but I need the TC in the office, and the DSL modem downstairs. An ethernet connection is not possible this way, and the printer in the living room isn't really a nice piece of furniture
I think, there is no possibility to use the wireless as uplink and the TC as a router/DHCP-server...
Probably I need a server computer to handle the connection between the wireless LAN created by the DSL modem and an ethernet network managed by the TC.
Hopefully someone has an idea/solution that fixes my problem.
meanwhile I keep looking......

Question regarding the use of Cisco Aironet 1140 series

We are looking at deploying some of the Cisco Aironet Access Points as standalone. We are essentially setting up a hotspot. They will mainly be in conference rooms at each of our field offices so visitors attending our meetings can have internet access. Do clients have to use Cisco wireless adapters in order to connect
to any of Cisco Aironet Access Points or can they use whatever wireless card they have as long as it supports the bands available?
Thx in advance for any advice given.

Any product which displays the Wi-Fi Certified logo, including everything from Cisco, should interoperate with any other Wi-Fi Certified gear.

Cisco Aironet 3502i and Virtual Wireless Controller- Question

Hello everyone,
As soon, I purchased two Cisco 3502i and Cisco 1142 however, two issue are that I don't have controller and smartnet. As my purpose, it using for Home Use but house with 2,500 Sq ft with two floor and new 24x24ft garage with two floor. I put two Cisco 3502i for garage and one cisco 1142 in house on second floor. Separated for multi media, gaming, streaming high resolution video, parts, and downloads programmings online. It will run with Cisco Catalyst Express 500 with 24 ports (4 POE) and two gigabit ports. In house, it have Dell Poweredge 2850, Cisco Catalyst Express 500 with 24 ports POE and 2 ports gigabit.
I thought to make my own developing with my first time using Wireless Controller. I wanted to try out with Virtual WLC on Dell Poweredge 2850 running ESXi 4.1.
Specs for Dell Poweredge 2850:
- 2x Intel Xeon Dual Core 3.8 GHz
- 4GB RAM (Will upgrade to 12GB soon)
- 2x 146GB and 2x 36GB SCSI
- 2x 1 Gbps built in and 4x 1 Gbps PCI-X
Developing with Untangle and pfSense to make it support with LADP and VLAN to both Cisco Express 500 using 4 gbps PCI-X. I have read the requipment list to use Virtual WLC but it seem met the requipment for my 2850. If someone offer me to get Virtual WLC and IOS from their, I accept to "borrow" it. I do go college which is Rochester Institute of Technology at New York and my major is Applied Computer Technology. I live here at Hampton Road, Virginia. Just in case if you might know about RIT. I just start to learning myself with Cisco books.
I have a question:
- Is there possible to get trial or full version of Virtual WLC?
- Is there possible to get Lightweight or Autonomous IOS for Cisco 1142 and 3502i?
- Does it supported Dell PowerEdge 2850?
- Does 3502i support Autonomous? (Not actually but I have researched around online about that it will work with 1262's IOS)
Thanks

Answers in-line...
I have a question:
- Is there possible to get trial or full version of Virtual WLC?
No. You will need a SmartNet contract (or a freshly purchased device) to obtain software from cisco. Nobody will provide this to you.
- Is there possible to get Lightweight or Autonomous IOS for Cisco 1142 and 3502i?
No. You will need a SmartNet contract (or a freshly purchased device) to obtain software from cisco.
Nobody will provide this to you.
- Does it supported Dell PowerEdge 2850?
Cisco doesn't go in to great detail regarding the actual Hardware requirements of the vWLC (as far as ESX Host requirements). Primarily, making sure you are running ESX 4.x/5.x is necessary. The vWLC provisions 2Gb of RAM and 8GB of thick provisioned storage, so if your host can accomodate I don't see any reason it wouldn't work.
- Does 3502i support Autonomous? (Not actually but I have researched around online about that it will work with 1262's IOS)
Yes, with the latest versions of IOS 15.2(2)JB, full functionality in autonomous can be achieved on the 1550, 3500, and 3600 series APs

Aironet 1300 series as wireless client ?

Hi there.
I would like to install a device on a yacht so that when the yacht enters a marina, it can connect to the marina wifi and then make that connection available to the yacht network. I am looking for a cisco device that will do similar to the Smartbridge Nexus (http://www.smartbridges.com/products/accesspoints.asp), which have done the job adequately in the past.
I was thinking of using a 1300 series outdoor unit, does anyone know if I can use it in the way I plan, or if there is an alternative.
Many thanks,
Neil

There are couple of options for you.
1. Cisco 350 series workgroup bridge - this will connect to the marina wi-fi and provide wired access to the yacht. If you connect a hub to the WGB's output, you can spread the connection among multiple laptops.
2. Also explore an option of using any Cisco AP as a repeater. A repeater will connect to the marina wi-fi wirelessly and extend the network to the yacht. But please note that the data rate may not be that good because of an extra hop in the middle.
For both these options to work, the marina wi-fi must be autonomous AP deployment based. If it is a lightweight-based wi-fi with a controller none of these options will work.

Cisco WAP4410N - not configurable as Wireless Client with WRT610N?

Hi!
On several workstations I use multiple network to
1 - access Internet and share Printers
2 - communicate within the local area
The second WLAN I need for several NDAS devices.
Due to their own LPX-Protocol these NDAS devices don't work properly with MAC address cloning. In combination with several access points or clients from other manufacturers Wireless N transmission does not work.
So in WLAN 2 I use the Cisco Linksys WRT 610N Router with 2.4 Ghz WLAN.
I intended to use the Cisco WAP4410N in Client Mode to connect a workstation with this router and set up NDAS connection.
Other workstations will directly connect to the router via Cisco Linksys WUSB-600N.
The connection from WUSB-600N to WRT610N works perfectly.
My problem is:
The WAP4410N does not connect to a wireless Network in Client Mode.
(It is not a problem of Channel configuration, Security or Signal strength - because if I connect my workstation via WUSB-600 this works instantly.)
If setup as an access Point it will start up sending competing to my router.
In Network Status it shows no received packages.
In Wireless Client/Repeater Mode there is no connection either.
My question is:
Is the WAP4410N not designed to be used as a Wireless Client?
An if it was - how is it to be set up as one?
Thanks

Cisco Aironet 1100 series wireless access point software update!

Hi,
I have a wireless network using 2 cisco aironet 1100 series access points.
From time to time I have problems with connecting a device (Laptop,PC,)to the wireless network.There are onther wireless netwotk that operate around and might be using the same channel.Someone else created the wireless network and I do not know how to access it now to check the configurations on change something.
I cannot conncet my iPhone to the network and I beleive that a software update might solve the problem but I do not know how to do it and where to download it from.
1. How can I update the software and where from?
2.How can I ensure that thare are no interferences and conflicts?
3.How can I ensure that no onther wireless network around is using the same channel?
Thank you in advance.

Sounds good to me. Are you having problems?

Cisco Aironet

I got a Cisco Aironet card to replace the Broadcom that uses ndiswrapper. Here is what happens
modprobe airo
modprobe airo_ca
then run iwconfig
eth1 (which is my wireless card) no wireless extensions
A few places suggested that it is the driver. Anyone have any other suggestions? Does anyone use a Cisco Aironet card? How did you get it installed?

i have aironet 350
modprobe
yenta_socket , pcmcia_core , airo , & airo_cs
in rc.conf
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
#eth0="dhcp"
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0 eth1)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !hotplug pcmcia network netfs crond )
but since the upgrades that came out the other day
it doesnt work at boot up i have to unplug then plugin card
run as root
ifconfig -a
dhcpcd eth1 or i could use
dhcpcd wifi0
from what ive read so far its a udev prob havent been able to figure it out yet
so im plugging away at that

Server 2008 R2 RADIUS Server with a Cisco Aironet 1040 Wireless AP

I am trying to get Server 2008 R2 RADIUS Server to work with a Cisco Aironet 1040 Wireless AP. I have installed the RADIUS server by MS standards and performed some searches on Google to configure the Cisco Aironet. I see others using a Wireless LAN Controller, which I do not have. I found this post below:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11546056/wlc-2504-radius-2008-r2-server
But I have yet to locate a good step by step document on how to set it up and I have found so many different ways that others have set it up, but none have yet to work. I am having authentication issues that I have know of and I do not see any errors in the Windows Event Viewer and I do not know where the Acess Point stores it logs for any sort of error. Keep in mind this is the first time I am doing this. I do not have a Wireless LAN Controller and all my network / domain services are on individually built servers and not on one single server as I have seen with most of the documentation they all say the same thing by putting the Certificate Services, Domain Services (AD / ADS, etc), and NPS. I do not want that configuration and my setup should not be any different, but something is not right. I know from reading that this is not rocket science, but from someone who has never done it before this is difficult as I keep reading on and so many people do it different ways including what I have been reading according to what Cisco says to configure in the environment. Does anyone know where I can find good step by step documentation along with where I can look for logs on either device? I find that all the documentation I see on Cisco's website and from searching that it is old and outdated and not been updated in a long time so it is hard to determine what works and what does not work. I am stumped here and have been doing this for several weeks now with no luck. Thank you in advance.

I did configure the Server 2008 R2 RADIUS Server using this video below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-0MM_tK-Tk
I also referenced Technet to make sure it was configured correctly as well. I am still not sure if I am 100% setup correctly on the Windows Server side, but I for sure want to make sure I have the AP side setup correctly. Do you know of a better article for the Windows Server 2008 R2 setup? Does it matter that I do not have all the services installed on the same server? Instead I have them installed on multiple servers.
I have image number c1140-k9w7-tar.124.25d.JA1 on the AP. The part that confused me in that article, which I have seen before was the part about "Setting up access point must be configured in the authentication server as an AAA client." What is the AAA Client? I also am not aware of having Cisco Secure ACS anywhere built into the AP as that part through me off completely. Do I need to skip these steps? Thank you for help on this.

Configuring wireless card Cisco Aironet 350 PCI

I'm not a newbie in linux but now faced with a trouble. I could not manage to set up the card properly. I just installed Arch 0.8 and it's not quite clear to me how to do this with Arch. I've read all available Arch's docs on this topic.
So my situation's the following:
I have the wireless card Cisco Aironet 350 PCI and I've been using it with Slackware for a year. It works quite fine. But now, when I decided to move to Arch - I cannot set it up. My card's using `airo` module and it is loading well. All the present network devices are recognized. I can see this by ifconfig -a.
I have 2 NICs in my system:
1) simple Ethernet card - eth0. Is switched off in rc.conf
2) wireless. There are 2 different devices for it in my system: eth1 and wifi0 (and it's correct). I don't know why is it so and how about this with other wireless cards.
For example I placed here network configs from my Slackware which works well with them and expect your advice on how to do the same with Arch.
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf:
##IPADDR[0]="" #wired NIC is off
##NETMASK[0]=""
##USE_DHCP[0]="yes"
##DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""

Thnx.

Excellent! It works! Thank U very much.
My conclusion - /etc/network-profiles/ is much more suitable way/place to set your wireless network parameters even it's quite steady.
And now I have a couple of extra questions:
1) What should I do with actual network parameters in rc.conf? Currently they looks like:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
#eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
NET_PROFILES=(tier)
and that looks and works OK. What about gateway? Should I comment it here or not?
2)Though everything works fine now, I can see that wifi0 device is not listed by ifconfig now (only by iwconfig), but in my Slackware system it is. Don't have I to mention my wifi0 device in network profile's section:
#WIFI_INTERFACE=wlan0 # use this if you have a special wireless interface
# that is linked to the real $INTERFACE
Thnx!
And sorry for ugly English

Cisco Aironet 1200 wireless network very slow

I have a simple wireless network set up, 2 - Cisco Aironet 1200 AIR-AP1220B-A-K9 wireless access points with 2 dBi Diversity Omni directional Ceiling Mount Antennas. They are the only devices connected to a Multitech Routfinder router, the WAN side the router is connected to a dedicated DSL connection. They are powered by AIR-PWRINJ3 power injectors. The WAP get the IP address from the DHCP in the router.
When connecting to the wireless network it runs very very slow, the signal strength is excellent and the connection speed is 54 mbps. But when opening a web browser it takes for ever to load a simple page like msn.com. If I connect the notebook directly to the router it runs very fast. We have tested with several notebooks and have the same problem. When I view the available wireless networks in range the only two that show up are the two Cisco 1200 WAP.
I have done the following with no improvement:
Change the channels from auto to 6 on one and 11 on the other.
Reset to factory defaults.
Update the firmware to c1200-k9w7-tar.123-7.JA2.tar
Replace the 802.11b radios with 802.11g radios AIR-MP21G-A-K9.
Disable the Aironet extensions.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the info.
The documentation say not to switch from auto to full duplex or half duplex when using inline power, well I think it says the AP may reboot. I may have tried half duplex before I upgraded the firmware.
While upgrading I disconnected the AP, used a patch cord to connect it to the router and pluged the power directly into it to make sure the wiring to the AP was not the problem and it did the same thing.
However, when trying to upgrade the firmware it took ~ 45 minuets to upload the image and filed a couple of times retrying. I connected the AP to the notebook directly with a crossover cable and it uploaded in about 45 seconds.
That got me to thinking that there may be a problem with the router so I have replaced it with a Linksys.
In the mean time the DSL went down yesterday so I have not been able to test the new setup.
The cables are T568B

Wireless site survey doubts with cisco aironet site survey utility tool

Hi,
I have 1131 autonomous AP and we have project where we need to implement WLC 5500 with 1140 LAP.
Before that , we need to do site survey . we are going to use cisco aironet adapter and with the help of site survey utility tool we are planning to do site survey .
I have below doubt before starting the site survey :
1) do we need to configure the AP 1131 with existing LAN set-up of client to get connected ?
If yes , how can i shift this 1131 ap always from one location to another location and connect to respective vlan in switch ? It would be tedious job ....
because , We need to connect ( get associated ) our laptop always to 1131 ap and then roam around to get the RSSI , signal strength , SNR and throughput .... ...
to configure the AP to existing lan set-up of client , it would not be flexible to do site survey ?
without that , how can I just plug-in power to 1131 AP with standalone configuration .... and without connecting to switch ( any lan-port ) , do the site survey ?
Please suggest me .............
In short , without connecting to LAN set-up of client , how can i do the site survey ?
2) will it be worth to do site survey with cisco aironet card ( site survey utility ) ? or we should i have different site survey software for the same ?
Please share the knowledge ....

Site Surveys are important and should be done by a professional. A poor site survey can lead to a lot of problems. It would be hard to put all aspects of conducting a proper site survey in a single post. Lets cover a few of the basics.
1) If you plan to deploy 1140 model access points. Then you should use that AP in autonomous mode so you dont have to be plugged into your network
2) The AP gets powered by an exteral power source like this battery for exmaple:
http://www.tessco.com/products/displayProductInfo.do?sku=345625&WT.mc_id=google_base&sp=true
3) As far as moving the AP around you can purchase a site survey pole like this:
http://www.tessco.com/products/displayProductInfo.do?sku=392506&eventPage=1
4) As for software, I like AirMagnet Surveyor
http://www.airmagnet.com/products/survey/
But again. There is a lot to know about doing surveys...

Setting up Cisco Aironet 1250 for home use

Hey everyone,
I'm rather new to the whole Enterprise Router lines. I've set up countless networks with Linksys routers in the past. However, this Aironet is giving me more trouble than I'd want it to. I was wondering if anyone could help. I've assigned it an IP Address and accessed that In-Browser interface and set up an SSID and activated the two extensions. I've been able to connect to the router with my computer and access the internet without restriction. However, when I attempt to connect a second PC or Laptop to the network, it won't allow network access to the second device. I've been stuck there forever. Is there any specific setup method I need to use to make sure more than one workstation/device? I want to use this router for home use, I often use laptops and move around the house a lot, so the advantage of better connection signal and speed is well worth it. Any help is highly apprieciated. If you need more information, don't hesitate to contact me.

Sorry for my late reply. Here is the config:
It wasn't connected to anything. This was a raw pull from a fresh cold boot.
IOS Bootloader - Starting system.
Xmodem file system is available.

IPhone4 and Cisco Aironet 1141 access point - fail using WPAv2 Personal

I cannot get my iPhone4 (latest s/w) to connect to a Cisco Aironet 1141 access point if I specify WPAv2 Personal. It is a single access point without radius etc. I have no problems connecting using "no security", WEP or WPAv1. Is there a problem with the iPhone4 implementation of WPA2 as all my other PCs connect just fine on WPAv2?
With the Aironet 1141 I can switch security between WPAv1 & WPAv2 while keeping all other settings identical. Thus I can clearly demonstrate how the iPhone4 connects when both devices are set to WPAv1 yet will fail to connect when I switch both to WPAv2. As I have said, all other PCs I have connect via WPAv2 without any issues.

How to change default admin password on Cisco Aironet 1040

How do I change the default username and password on the Cisco Aironet 1040. There is a default set and I want to change that to secure the device. I've checked the manual and can't seem to find the directions. Any ideas?

Hi Brian,
If this AP is already registered with a WLC then you can change it via WLC.
In WLC GUI, go to Wireless -> Select the AP -> Credential -> Override Global Credential-> Update username/pw/enable pw
In WLC CLI, you can configure it like this. If it is for all APs, then select all, otherwise AP name.
(WLC3) >config ap mgmtuser add username admin password Cisco123 secret Cisco123 ?
all Applies the configuration to every AP that does not have a specific user name.
Enter the name of the Cisco AP.
(WLC3) >config ap mgmtuser add username password secret
(WLC3) >save config
Are you sure you want to save? (y/n) y
If it is Autonomous AP you can configure using the "username xxxx password xxx" IOS command
