Using n80 wlan on mixed mode n/g access point?

I have a d-link dgl-4500. I use it in mixed mode n/g. My computers can connect just fine.
If I want to get the n80 to connect, I have to first change the wireless channel to 11 and then change it to channel 1.
Then and only then will my n80 find the access point.
If I set my AP to G only, then the wlan fires right up.
I'm not an expert on wifi. Are there any advanced wifi settings I can change to help my n80 find the AP easier?
current settings:
2.4GHz mode
mixed n/g mode
2.412 CH. 1
auto transmission rate
20MHz channel width
visible SSID
beacon 100
RTS threshold 2346
fragmentation threshold 2346
DTIM 1
short GI yes
802.11b protection no
Those are my current settings.
Thanks for anyone who can help.

How to use Home Hub 3 as a 2nd router(access point...

Hi guys hope you can help; I am trying to add my Home Hub 3 as a 2nd router (ie an access point) to my home network and struggling.
What am I trying to achieve.
I have a fully functioning home network which is working great but the wireless range does not extend to the room above my garage, some distance away from the main house. I currently service it with an Ethernet link from my E4200 router, via the mains wiring, to link to a PS3 there. But I want to extend this to have a wireless network in the remote room so I can link multiple devices - rather than spend more money, deploying a 2nd router which I already have is preferable.
What have I got.
I have a Linksys E4200 router (nice piece of kit) attached to my ADSL line via a Belkin N1 wireless modem-router set to “modem only” mode (I was using a DSL modem until yesterday but that went AWOL and digging out the Belkin router I saw that it had a modem only function – and it/they worked first time )
All of my gear in the house is attached wirelessly to the E4200 which is delivering circa 11.5mbps from a maximum of 12.5mbps for the line measured by BT onsite. So all is fine there.
What have I done to try and use the HH3
Linked an Ethernet cable between one of the Ethernet ports on the E4200 to a mains plug.
Linked an Ethernet cable from a mains plug to one of the Ethernet ports on the HH3 router.
Ie as the PS3 was linked.
3. Switched on the HH3 router: the power light is solid blue, the wireless light is solid blue, the broadband light is off
4. Connected my laptop to the HH3 network and loading up a web page on IE9 displays a web page from bthomehub.home/etc etc with title BT Home Hub and a message “Can’t connect to Broadband”. It is the start of a self- diagnostic routine. Answering all the questions I eventually get a Home Hub Administrative Home Page displayed.
Is there a quicker way of getting to this admin page??
5. I switched off DHCP
I changed the IP address from 192.168.1.254 to 192.168.1.200 as this seems to be what the other threads on this subject did.
When I went to apply the change a message came up telling me that I might not be able to access the HH3. I ploughed on disregarding this and needless to say I could not then access the HH3 via the web interface and trying to access a web site nothing happened.
6. I did a hardware reset on the HH3
7. Going through the motions again, when I got to the admin pages again, I switched off DHCP and this time left the IP address alone, ie 192.168.1.254.
When I went to apply this I got the message
“After changing these settings you will need to renew the IP address of all devices connecting to your BT Home Hub. Please follow the instructions provided with your devices.”
I applied the change – but have not yet done any fooling around with IP addresses on my laptop because I don’t want to start mucking around with my laptop
I then tried to access a website, and failed, but on this occasion rather than nothing happening, the Home Hub website came up again displaying the error message page.
And that is where I stand. All looks so easy when reading other threads on this and other forums but it is not working for me.
Any help greatly appreciated.
The IP settings on the E4200 are
IP 192.168.1.1
Range 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.149
Also connection type on the E4200 is POE not POA – as far as I recall that is what it needed to be to connect to the DSL modem and work.

Thanks for the speedy reply!
I have actually came across this page before - I seem to hit a snag when I connect the repeater hub (my HH3). As outlined, I have at all times kept the repeater hub connected via ehternet into one of the regular LAN ports to my main HH5.
But when I connect my laptop to the repeat hub (HH3), I am actually connected to the internet somehow (I assuem using the HH5 network) but under my network connections it says I am connected to the HH3. As a result, when I go to the homehub settings page 192.168.1.254, it brings me to the main HH5 settings page and not the repeater HH3.
According to the instructions it says I should "Ignore the not connected page", but I am connected and I cant seem to alter any of the settings on my HH3 while it is connected to the HH5.
Any other pointers?
Thanks!

How do I use a Dlink WBR-1310 router as an access point w/WRT54GS Router?

How can I set up my Dlink WBR-1310 router as an access point for the main router which is a Linksys WRT54GS?

I don't mean to be stupid but perhaps I was vague. I want to be able to plug the xbox 360 into the wrtu54g-tm using it as only a way to communicate wirelessly to my wrtg54G which is plugged into my modem. Are you saying that this can't work unless I try to use DD-wrt or something like that?

Can I use my WRT160N V1 as a signal booster/access point?

I have a Linksys WRT160N router that I want to use as an access point for my basement devices. The main modem is a Century Link PK5001A. How would I go about setting this up?
Solved!

Mixing 1240 and 1250 access-point Lightweight

HI all,
is it possibile to have a system of WLCs controlling both 1242 and 1252 installed in different areas of a factory and (1250 at offices and 1240 at production site) managing the same WLANs?
Thanks
Johnny

The latest 4.X and 6.X supports 1240 and 1250. You can mix both. You can verify by reading the Release Notes and it will tell you what AP's are supported by the firmware.

Using a mac's wireless card as an access point and hiding the SSID

Is it possible to create a wireless network on a mac that my iphone and laptop can connect to, and hide the ssid for the network and add wep protection? I really need to know how to do this.

Welcome to Apple's discussion forums!
Hiding the SSID doesn't necessarily make your network any more secure, especially if you're only using WEP. From what I understand, the SSID is broadcasted every time a computer makes a connection anyway, so hiding it really doesn't accomplish anything that can't be outsmarted by some simple SSID interception software. You really need to be using WPA2 or at least WPA in order to get a reasonable level of security.
Your Mac can only host with WEP-based security. That's acceptable for small file transfers between Macs on a temporary basis, but if you want to have a home network with some real security, you either need to buy a wireless router with WPA2 or use Ethernet. Ethernet is preferable.

Using syslogd for other devices on LAN (printer, access point, etc)

I have googled a bit on using syslog on FreeBSD to receive events from other devices on the LAN & see that I need to start the daemon with the "-u" switch, if I am not mistaken. I have additionally searched on how to start my daemon in this way but have not found how to do this. Would someone be so generous as to explain to me which "conf" file I need to edit.
Extra points for the command on how to restart the daemon to make the config chage take effect without rebooting.
(note: I have already allowed the traffic through the firewall)
Peace & Love.

Thanks for your help and advice. I got there eventually in a roundabout way! At one point I was given an error message stating that the configuration could not be retrieved from the Time Capsule. Then the internet connection via the modem was lost. But after a couple of intensive restarts, both units appeared under the same network and I can see my printer connected now.
I've seen this with AEBSs when changing their configurations, too. Glad you got round the problem in the end.
One more question through, I've connected a 4 port USB hub to the Airport Extreme Basestation but I can only get one printer to show up at a time under System preferences and Airport Utililty. Is this because the USB hub being used is not self powered or because this model of Airport Extreme only allows connectivity to a single printer at any one time?
I think it is because you can only use one printer at a time with this model. See this knowledge base article for details. You likely have firmware version > 5.5 but I'm guessing don't have the relevant AEBS model. Take a look, though.

Data flow using a WLAN controller

Can someone explain the flow of data from wireless client to some destination in the internal network (or the Internet) using a WLAN Controller? Use a 4402 as an example.
Specifically, I am wondering if client traffic actually passes thru the WLAN Controller (4402). I am reading the configuration guide and it doesn't seem to be explicitly stated one way or the other.

Hi Ken,
This is a very common question these days.
Here is a recent thread as well as an excerpt from a good doc:
http://forum.cisco.com/eforum/servlet/NetProf?page=netprof&forum=Wireless%20-%20Mobility&topic=Getting%20Started%20with%20Wireless&CommCmd=MB%3Fcmd%3Ddisplay_location%26location%3D.1ddaca5d
In the Cisco Centralized WLAN architecture, LWAPP-enabled access points operate in the lightweight mode (as opposed to the autonomous mode). The access points associate to a Cisco WLAN controller. The controller manages the configuration, firmware, and control transactions such as 802.1x authentication. In addition, all wireless traffic is tunneled through the controller.
LWAPP is an IETF draft protocol that defines the control messaging for setup and path authentication and run-time operations. LWAPP also defines the tunneling mechanism for data traffic.
In an LWAPP environment, a Cisco Aironet LWAPP-enabled access point discovers a controller by using LWAPP discovery mechanisms and then sends it an LWAPP join request. The controller sends the access point an LWAPP join response allowing the access point to join the controller. When the access point is joined, the controller downloads its software if the versions on the access point and controller do not match.
LWAPP secures the control communication between the access point and controller by means of a secure key distribution, utilizing X.509 certificates on both the access point and controller.

Wpa2 security vs. wpa2/wpa mixed mode

What's the advantage of using the "wpa2/wpa mixed mode" security setting vs. wpa2? Is the mixed mode setting as security as the wpa2 only setting?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

WPA2 is the next generation of Wi-Fi security. It is the Wi-Fi Alliance's interoperable implementation of the ratified IEEE 802.11i standard. It implements the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommended Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption algorithm using Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol (CCMP). WPA2 facilitates government FIPS 140-2 compliance, and it is fully supported by the Cisco Wireless Security Suite..
WPA and WPA2 mixed mode operation permits the coexistence of WPA and WPA2 clients on a common SSID. WPA and WPA2 mixed mode is a Wi-Fi certified feature. During WPA and WPA2 mixed mode, the Access Point (AP) advertises the encryption ciphers (TKIP, CCMP, other) that are available for use. The client selects the encryption cipher it would like to use and the selected encryption cipher is used for encryption between the client and AP once it is selected by the client.

WLAN access point "missing" when connection alread...

Hello,
I have an E63 with version 400.21.013 firmware. However, I have experienced this problem from day one. I do not have a data plan but I use WLAN at various locations, and there is a list of access points in the Settings.
I have a home access point configured with WPA2 and I have all the settings saved in the Connection Manager (or is it WLAN Wizard - I don't know). When the phone is not connected to any AP and I use a program that wants data, it will almost always show the "Home" AP in the list which appears right after "Searching for available access points" is briefly displayed. "Home" shows up right below Search for WLAN. There is no problem making the first connection.
However, if the "Home" AP is already in use and I open another program that wants data, at times it will not show my Home AP in the list. If "Searching for available access points" is only displayed for a split second, "Home" will not be in the list. Sometimes I can close the program and open it again and if "Searching for available access points" stays on screen for about a second, then "Home" will be on the list and I can connect. Sometimes I will have to try 3, 4, 5 times, and sometimes it will never "see" the AP unless I disconnect the WLAN and start all over.
Right at this moment, there is no problem. I can open program after program and connect via my "Home" AP. But it is frustrating when it does happen. Has anyone seen this or found a remedy?
Thanks.

Have you tried changing the WLAN channel (i.e. frequency) of your home WLAN access point / router?
Try switching between few different channels (like 1, 3, 6, 9, 11) to see if some channel happens to work more reliably. It is possible that there is some radio interference (neighbouring WLAN networks, cordless phones, Bluetooth devices etc.) on the currently used WLAN channel, causing phone to discover this network less reliably.
In case your WLAN access point / router includes 802.11n support, make sure that your AP's "channel width" is set to a standard 20MHz mode (instead 20/40MHz).
This is a bit long shot suggestion (just guessing), but if switching the WLAN channel related setting on the AP doesn't help then you could also try editing your phone's access point (the one created for you home WLAN network, under Tools -> Settings -> Connection -> Access Points) so that your phone should consider this particular WLAN network as an "Hidden SSID" (even if network really isn't hidden) by changing the "Network status" setting from Public to Hidden.

Using WRT54GR as a Wireless Access Point only

I have a WRT610N as my main router. I want to use an existing WRT54GR purely as a wireless access point and ethernet switch. Any suggestions on how best to do that so I can still access the WRT54GR to make configuration changes? Right now I have the network functionality working by simply not using the Internet port on the WRT54G but by going to 192.168.1.1 I can only get to the WRT610N.

(Restarting this thread).
I made the change you suggested and statically assigned 192.168.1.200 to the WRT54GR. I can reliably access it through this IP address. I connected it to the rest of my network by using one of the 4 switch ports (not the Internet port). I disabled DHCP on it and configured the Wireless settings to be the same (same SSID and Security Settings) as my other wireless router.
What I'm finding is that devices in my house won't assoicate with it. I tried changing the SSID to a different value; devices were able to see the new SSID but when I entered the pasword they told me that no DHCP server could be detected. A wired device that I plugged into another of the 4 switch ports on the WRT54GR was able to pick up an IP address from the main router just fine so I know that basic connectivity is OK.
To achieve what I want (i.e. the WRT54GR just acts as a wireless base station to extend wireless coverage in the house), do I need to connect the WRT54GR to the rest of the network using the Internet port rather than a switch port? If so, what configuration settings do I need to set up so that all the devices can get their IP address from the main router?

N80 access points

i checked that there were no access points defined. when i went to "net" it asked me to choose connection it came up with vodafone internet gateway. I dont know why its like that? i went to settings and there was no access points there at all.
next thing i did was use nokia settings wizard to get my vodafone access points and it created "vodafone internet gateway(1)"
in settings->access points, there is only one copy of it there.
when i go to "net" it asks for which connection i should use and i see two copies there.
why is like this?
under settings there is only one copy but somehow the fone thinks there is 2 so it must have been setup or entered somewhere and i cant seem to find out where or what i should do about it
remember, this is from a fresh reformat of my fone.
anyone got any ideas of what i should do without having to format again? formatting again might work, but then again it might not.
maybe its stored on my sim card automatically and thats where it is?
i just dont know

Have you sent up email retrieval to automatically download, check the email settings?
Otherwise you might have setup some SIP settings. Do you have any profiles in Tools, Settings, Connection, SIP Settings? If so and you know you are not using them, then delete them.
Another one to check, although less likely is under Tools, Settings, Connection, Packet Data and check that is set to "When needed" and "None"
(PS always usful to post your SW version so we know where you are coming from....)

1300 Series Access Point/Bridge Power Injector - Using power over ethernet

Can I use power over ethernet to supply the Injector with power?

Hi Mikael,
Sorry, this will not work. Have a look at these specs;
1300 Series Power
Power
The access point/bridge receives inline power from the Cisco Aironet Power Injector (hereafter called the power injector). Dual-coax cables are used to provide Ethernet data and power from the power injector to the access point/bridge. The power injector is an external unit designed for operation in a sheltered environment, such as inside a building or vehicle. The power injector also functions as an Ethernet repeater by connecting to a Category 5 LAN backbone and using the dual-coax cable interface to the access point/bridge.
The power injector is available in two models:
Cisco Aironet Power Injector LR2 standard version (included with the access point/bridge)
48-VDC input power
Uses the 48-VDC power module (included with the access point/bridge)
Cisco Aironet Power Injector LR2T optional transportation version
12- to 40-VDC input power
Note The power injector and the power module must not be placed in an outdoor unprotected environment. The power module must not be placed in a building's environmental air space, such as above a suspended ceiling.

N80 - WLAN at home won't detect, but I've used out...

Hi guys, I need help...
I have a got new N80, and the WLAN feature was one of my most high expectations... I have already successfully used the WLAN feature with my new N80 on Public access points, and it works great. But at home I can't detect my home network.
I have a Linksys Modem Router (Wireless-G ADSL Gateway with Speedbooster WAG54GS), with WiFi running on "Mixed" mode.
What puzzles me is that with my laptop i can detect 2 Wireless networks, mine and my neighbour's, but with my N80 i can't detect either. I have been able to detect other private nwireless on my neighbourhood, but mine it just won't detect.
Can anyone help please???

I could really use your help on this one... THanks!

Use multiple URLS in Mixed Security mode

.NET Portal Version: 6.0.1.218452 on Windows 2003 server
We have setup portal in Mixed mode (Securoty mode = 1), keeping login-page in secure mode.
Now we wish to use to different URLs. Configured and created Experience definition.
I believe only 1 certificate can be associated to a SITE in IIS-6.
So if I create another site in IIS-6 with header information as 2nd URL, will it work?
Do I need to do anything special?
Any suggestions???
Edited by kuljitsingh at 01/02/2007 12:40 PM

Hi
Yes your above statements are correct, but what is the use?? In effect, you are giving a single transaction code in a single call of the transaction.
whereas in session method, within a single BDC GROUP, you can give multiple transactions.
This is infact one of the major differences between CALL TRANSACTION and SESSION METHOD.
Hope u understood
