WAP 4400N

Hi guys
I am TOTALLY incompetent in setting up wireless connections. I have a ADSL 512k connection via a Linksys WAG 300N modem router on the ground floor and it is linked by an ethernet cable to a WAP 4400N on the first floor.
Recently the internet connection on the first floor has started to become erratic.
Hence my questions
how do I correct the problem?
If I try a reset, how long do I have to push the button?
could it be that the access point needs an update of its firmware? How do I check which firmware is currently operating? I suppose that I have to connect my laptop to the WAP and then type some url like 192.168.1.1. ????
How do I activate the Power over Ethernet facility? So far I have always used a power cable.
the helpline number here in Dubai which links to an operator in India is unable to help becuase this WAP is a business device....
Many thanks.

Dear Edgard
Many, many thanks for your offer to help. But please, consider I am a total ignorant in these matters ( I am a medical doctor!), so if you don't mind, can you help me step by step?
To answer you point 1: yes, the WAP is connected to the WAG by ethernet. But what do you mean by Make sure the Gateway and Primary DNS on the WAP4400n is pointing to the WAG300N (192.168.1.1) ? If you mean thatm each unit's antenna point to the other, the answer is yes.
You say set the wireless tab with a SSID differently from any wireless devices, but can use the same security mode and password. Can you elaborate on that? I have a few internet radios around the house and this is precisely also why I was advised to buy the WAP 4400N.
Point 2: I have done a soft reset by pressing for 1 second as advised on the cisco's website. It seems to have improved the connectivity quite a bit. Do I still need to do a hard reset?
Point 3: I have downloaded the latest sofware as you recommended. You say: This is accomplished by typing in the address bar: 192.168.1.245.
But how do I enter the 192.168.1.245??? I have tried to connect my laptop via an ethernet cable directly to the WAP 4400N, and entered the DNS but it was not accepted. Do I need to enter it via the WAG 300N which in turn wil tranmit it by itseld to the WAP?
Point 4: it is precisely the WAP that I want to power via the PoE. But when I remove the power supply, it just goes blank, and the LED of PoE on the unit does not light up. Why not?
Many thanks for your help and patience. My big problem in Dubai is that opur helpline is only for lome units from Linksys, and the guys say that they are not trained to answer questions about the business unit. The 800 number for Saudi Arabia, but this is another country, and the number is not accessible from Dubai.
Kind regards

Wrt300n and wap 4400n for network in iraq

Here is what i want to do and what i have. I need to know what else i need please:
I am in iraq trying to setup a wireless network with 2 parts. I have the wrt300n that will be connected to the internet to setup up wireless internet and the wap4400n so that i can setup a local network. the internet goes up and down so often that i need the local network to chat with others. from the router to my location is about 75ft with 15ft tall concrete barriors in the way. the wap4400n will be setup at my location. the computers that i want to communicate with for both internet and chat are aprox 175ft in a triangle from my location to two locations with concrete barriors periodically placed. i have not been able to test the system yet.
Question #1: what range extenders can I use that will allow me to extend both systems.
Question #2 what do these extenders need to be connected to(power) and are these antennas able to be placed outside?
Question #3: can the wap4400n be used as one of the extenders for the router to boost the internet signal?
Question #4: what is the reccomended distance before you need to get an antenna booster. I know this varies based on situation.
Thanks in advance.
Ray from south of baghdad.....

i don't think that the WAP4400N is capable of repeating the wireless signals..it can function only as an Access Point...so the only way to use it would be to run an ethernet cable between the WRT300N and WAP4400N...
if u want more range , better set up would be
WRT300N -->> WAP54GP( AP Mode) ~~~~~~ WAP54GP ( Wireless Repeater )

Unable to connect to WRE54G

I bought a WRE54G (v3) to extend the range of my WRT54G router, and I've followed every instruction to the letter. However, the setup utility claims it can't find any WRE54G in range, even though my laptop is right next to it. The "Link" LED on the expander is constantly red although I have disabled all wireless security on my router.
I tried every suggestion on these forums regarding the reset and auto configuration buttons, to no avail.
I tried hooking up my laptop with a network cable, changed its tcp/ip setting so that it would request a 192.168.1.239 IP address, with 255.255.255.0 subnet mask, but the WRE54G won't respond to ping at 192.168.1.240, not even after being reset to factory defaults (although I have no way of knowing for sure since it doesn't exist as far as the network is concerned)
Basically, the expander doesn't show up in available wireless networks and it doesn't respond to wired communications so I can't even access the web configuration utility to set it up or figure out what's wrong. I'm pretty sure this particular expander is broken, but I wanted to make before I take it back to the store. Did I miss anything?
Thanks in advance

This is what I have done to configure my WRE-54G (v.3) with cable. It worked fine with my Router WRT-300N/ Acess Point WAP-4400N, all of them with latest firmwares. BTW, In the set up process I used and old notebook PC running Win-XP Pro to connect directly to the expander by an ethernet cable. I have 2 other PCs with same OS, connected by cable to router; and 2 wireless notebooks from HP running Windows Vista Home Premium.
1) Reset the expander for about 1 minute;
2) Connect RJ-45 ethernet cable to expander and ethernet port on a PC:
3) Manual set the PC (TCP/IP properties) to: IP 192.168.1.111; SM 255.255.255.0; Gateway 192.168.1.240;
4) Open your browser and type 192.168.1.240 (default IP of the expander), type admin to log on to expander;
5) Set channel, SSID and security the same of the router/a.point; set mode to Mixed;
6)change default IP of the expander from 192.168.1.240 to 192.168.1.241 (according to the Linksys recommendation I have seen somewhere in this forum to avoid IP conflict in Windows). This new IP will be necessary every time you need to access the setup utility again;
7) SM 255.255.255.0; Gateway 192.168.1.1 (yes, this is the IP from the Router);
8)Don´t forget to save all changes in expander setup;
9) After making all changes, reset your PC to Dynamic IP;
10) Remove cable and locate the WRE-54G on a place to best pick up signal from your Router/AP.
      In my particular case, the expander shows in its "link status" the MAC from my WAP-4400N, perhaps because it is closer from the access point than the router, I guess. On the other hand, I can "ping" all 3 devices (the router, the access point ant the range expander) with success (192.168.1.1; 192.168.1.245; and 192.168.1.241, respectively).
                That´s all. At last, I think Linksys could be more detailed in the instructions in order to make all the process easier.
                But I still find the WRE-54G a great product !!!!!!!!!!!

WRE54G WITH WRT300N / WAP4400N

Hi Guys,
Please, tell me if it is possible to add the expander to my small network (2 wired desktops and 3 wireless notebooks). The WAP-4400N is connected by cable to the router WRT-300N. What should I do if I want to add the expander ? Do you think it will work ? If I set up all the devices same SSID, same channel and same encryption, how I will be able which device I will be connected to ?
Thanks in advance to all of you

Well, I have just tried it !!!!!! My WRE-54G is working perfectly __ at least untill now allowing internet access __ with both my WRT-300N router --->WAP-4400N access point. In the "link status" of the WRE-54G it is showed the mac address of the WAP-4400N. I guess this is because it is closer from the access point than the router. Could you, please, tell me something about ?

2 x 4400n

Hi,
I have 2 x 4400N's configured exactly the same but when I search for wireless networks - 2 wireless networks show up.
If the SSID and all the other settigns are configured the same shouldnt only 1 SSID wireless network show up?
Am I missing something?
Thanks

What shows up depends on the software you use. If it only shows you the SSID it will show you only a single network SSID. If it shows you the mac addresses of the access points it will show you two access points with the same SSID.
The best way to set up two WAPs which connect to the same physical LAN is identical wireless settings (SSID, wireless security, passphrase, etc.) except the channels. Channels should differ to avoid interference. This will create a roaming wireless network.

HP Wireless Printers cannot connect to WPA2-secured WiFi networks with Cisco/Meraki WAPs

In the last two months, I've had the displeasure of working with two very different HP printers and attempting to make them work on a WPA2-secured wireless network. All attempts to authenticate fail with "invalid phassphrase".
I'm not the first person to encounter this, it's a problem with many different HP wireless printers (I just happen to have physical access to the OfficeJet Pro 8610 & Deskjet 3511).
My equipment is a Cisco ASA 5505 Firewall running ASA 9.1x & Cisco Aironet 1142 running IOS 15.3.x.
What does work on the WPA2/AES SSID: Apple MacBook Air running OSX 10.10.2, Three Windows-Based laptops running Windows 8.1 Update 1, an iPhone 5s, Three Windows Phone 8.1 devices, Roku 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Sharp Aquos TV, Amazon Streaming Stick, and an Android Tablet (Jellybean). Basically, everything.
What does not work on the WPA2 network: OfficeJet Pro 8610 & Deskjet 3511.
To test the theory there is a problem with HP's implementation of WPA2 with regard to Cisco Aironet IOS, I built out a second SSID that only works in WPA/TKIP mode. This solution works. Both HP printers will join the WPA/TKIP network.
So, I'm able to demonstrate there is a certain connectivity issue. When i look at AAA Debug on the WAP's console, I can observe the HPs attempt to authenticate "Bind I/F" on the WPA2 SSID, however they do not achieve authentication and do not pass the AAA phase. However, on the WPA SSID, they bind and authenticate successfully.
To help illustrate this, here is my WAP running config. It's about as simple as it can get. There is no relevant MAC filtering or ACLs bound to any interface. Noting that I have an ACL on remote access to the WAP (i.e. Locked down to SSH, disabling telnet). The main point being that the ASA firewall is not a factor in this problem as the issue is at the WAP before WPA2 authentication can complete, therefore the printers never reach the network / when the printers connect to the WPA network, the operate fully & correctly.
If anyone at HP can indicate why this particular config is somehow improper or broken, that would be fantastic. There should be no reason why Cisco / Meraki WAP owners have to lower wireless encryption standards just for a printer, be forced into wired, create separate SSIDs with lower encryption specifically for a device.

I get the same behavior with a laserjet m451nw. I need to enable tkip to get the printer working, it doesn't support pure aes-ccm (every other device here supports pure aes-ccm, even cheap ones), although it's advertised as working.

ADFS 3.0 WAP and Non-Claims-Aware Relying Party Trusts

I am attempting to migrating a Windows Claims SharePoint page to ADFS 3.0 (Windows Server 2012 R2) and the WAP (Web Application Proxy) from UAG, but are running into problems when our external users attempt to authenticate. Users from our external
domain (call it Domain2.com) have been accessing our SharePoint pages via SAML tokens but when I attempted to move them to the new WAP and off of UAG, they get a http/500 error. The WAP error log gives the following:
Warning Event ID 13016 - Web Application Proxy cannot retrieve a Kerberos ticket on behalf of the user because there is no UPN in the edge token or in the access cookie
Error Event ID 12027 - Web Application Proxy encountered an unexpected error while processing the request. Error: The specified username is invalid. (0x8007089a).
I presume the Error Event ID 12027 is because there is no UPN in the token and we are using KCD/Kerberos so I need to pass a UPN.
The ADFS server and WAP are joined to Domain1.com. Domain1.com is Active Directory and there is an account for every user in Domain2.com that is allowed access to our SharePoint Sites. These account contain the standard
info... UPN, Email Address, sAMAccountName, etc. The UPN, Email, and sAMAccountName do not always match the accounts with the Domain2.com accounts; however, we have been using an Active Directory Field labled employeeNumber that is synchronized
on both domains and we have been using a custom lookup based on the employeeNumber in AD.
When login's occur via Domain1.com, no problem, the UPN is pulled from the Active Directory Claim Provider Trust. When a user attempts to access from Domain2.com, we have configured ADFS to forwards them to an STS that collects the employeeNumber
from Domain2.com via a Web Auth SAML token. We are able to use the SAML token if we use the standard Claims-Aware Relying Party Trust (CARPT) and convert our SharePoint sites to use the trusted URN via powershell scripts, but we are trying to retain
functionality similar to how we are using UAG so we don't want to change every single SharePoint site to the SAML configuration, hence we are trying to use the Non-Claims-Aware Relying Party Trust (NCARPT)
Problem1: When we are using CARPT we can configure the custom translation for our employeeNumber lookup in AD. But CARPT uses SAML Tokens not Kerberos Tolkens so we cannot login when SharePoint is configured for Kerberos.
Problem2: When we are using NCARPT it works great when authenticating via local (Domain1.com) credentials and look's up the user in AD, but when we attempt to authenticate with remote (Domain2.com) credentials we are unable to configure the employeeNumber
lookup and ADFS doesn't just go out and make that correlation on its own.
Question1: Can I configure CARPT to use Kerberos?
Question2: If not, can I configure NCARPT to lookup the AD employeeNumber, match the UPN, and add the UPN to the token?
Question3: If neither option is available, am I just stuck with UAG or is there something out (not scheduled for EOL) there that can handle the translation between SAML and Kerberos Tokens?
Let me know if I left something out, I tend to ramble, but not sure of all the info that is needed...

Hi,
Based on the description, is there trust between domain 1 and domain 2? If not, we can try to create trust between these two domains to see if it helps.
Regarding Event ID 13016 and Event ID 12027, the following article can be referred to for more information.

Download content through wap using a midlet

Ok, lets make it quick.
my java ME app:
CLDC 1.1
MIDP 2.0
It downloads 4 images from four URLs. The images are served by an Apache server, http://some.site/image0.png.
Here is how i do it
private Image getImage(int zoomLevel) throws IOException, Exception {
        ContentConnection connection = (ContentConnection) Connector.open(baseUrl + "/" + String.valueOf(zoomLevel));
        // * There is a bug in MIDP 1.0.3 in which read() sometimes returns
        //   an invalid length. To work around this, I have changed the
        //   stream to DataInputStream and called readFully() instead of read()
//    InputStream iStrm = connection.openInputStream();
        DataInputStream iStrm = connection.openDataInputStream();
        ByteArrayOutputStream bStrm = null;
        Image im = null;
        try {
            // ContentConnection includes a length method
            byte imageData[];
            int length = (int) connection.getLength();
            if (length != -1) {
                imageData = new byte[length];
                // Read the png into an array
              // iStrm.read(imageData);
               iStrm.readFully(imageData);
            } else // Length not available...
                bStrm = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                int ch;
                while ((ch = iStrm.read()) != -1) {
                    bStrm.write(ch);
                imageData = bStrm.toByteArray();
                bStrm.close();
            // Create the image from the byte array
            im = Image.createImage(imageData, 0, imageData.length);
        } finally {
            // Clean up
            if (iStrm != null) {
                iStrm.close();
            if (connection != null) {
                connection.close();
            if (bStrm != null) {
                bStrm.close();
        if (im == null) {
            throw new Exception("Unable to download image");
        } else {
            return im;
    }This works in the emulator.
The problem is that my Internet provider does not allow network traffic other than viewing wap pages.
Is there a way to trick my provider and download the images? Perhaps to set up a dummy wap page?
thanks,
kostas

I did reset but I'm all up to date with my subscribe download using an earlier wire to iTunes on my MacBook, so I really can't tell right now. I'll give it a couple days and then try to download again wirelessly.
Thanks for trying. I'll let you know.

How to stop Access Connections from automatically connecting to WAP at turn on or restart?

I had a problem with my X200 winxp sp3 wireless connection. I got it working OK again but in the process I did something that changed the action of Access Connections when I turn on or restart the machine where it automatically connects to the WAP whereas before it did not do this, rather it required a manual connection. For the life of me I can't find the setting that controls this behavior...can anyone point me in the right direction.
thanks for any feedback
*Smith & Wesson...the original point and click interface*

Might not answer completely, but what is your "profile" set to? I have a "profile" called Office that wll only use the "hardwire" LAN Connection. I have another "profile" called Mobile that will only use the Intel Wireless card, yet another that is "HSPA Modem" that will only use the AT&T wireless card.
Could it be that your "profile" is set to use just your Wireless Connection?
Just a thought -

I'm looking for some help connecting linksys IP Cameras to my home network to monitor my property when I'm travelling. I used to do this with linksys WAPS, but since I've discarded all my old linksys networking and standardized on airport, I can't get these things working. I know that I have to identify my camera through the DHCP table and set up port forwarding and there is the problem.
My network consists of 4 base stations set up in a roaming network - same network name and passwords. I need to do it this way so I don't have to switch network when I move from one side of the house to the other, go to the cabana, or my shop in the barn. The network works pretty well since I went to a roaming set up. Good performance, yata, yata, yata.
However, the roaming network requires the AEBS's to be set up in bridge mode, rather than sharing an ip address. When the AEBS is set to bridge mode, you don't see a DCHP table or have the ability to identify your IP Cam through the AEBS - and hence, no port forwarding.
I am able to identify and set up my Linksys IP Cam by locating the ip address on my FIOS router, even though, it's plugged into an AEBS. I set it up, see the video, remove the ethernet cable from the IP Cam, restart - and I can't get to it from an AEBS. In researching this, it appears, I should be setting up the AEBS to "share an IP Address", going to the DHCP table and identifying the camera's IP address and setting up port forwarding. However, you don't see any of the DHCP or port forwarding options in Airport Network Utility when configuring in bridge mode.
I'm hoping I'm missing something here and that the solution isn't to set it up at the FIOS router level, but I'm beginning to think that's my only hope. What concerns me there is that I should be able to see the IP cam on the network without port forwarding since I'm not coming from outside, and I can't even do this unless it's connected hard wire.
I'd appreciate any insight into this that anyone might have. I've hit the wall with what I know.
Thanks.

In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

ADFS-WAP-Exchange 2013 SP1

Hello guys,
i will setup a new infrastructure with exchange 2013 account forest.In this new forest, users will authenticate by WAP and ADFS.
The accounts user are in other with a exchange 2003 that i'll migrate.
My question is how adfs will authenticate owa's user and do i need to setup a adfs server in account forest ?
Concerning my adfs certificate, do i need to put the UPN from the exchange forest or to put also the account forest
Thanks for you advice

Hi, My network went down earlier in the week. Now it is fine, but my macbook airport no longer detects it and keeps asking for a WAP. When I put the password in, it 'times out'. I'm getting rather fed up.

Hi, My network went down earlier in the week. Now the network is fine, I can connect through the ethernet cable, but my macbook airport no longer detects it, when prompted, macbook will find it, but I get asked for the WAP. When I put the password in, it 'times out'. Prior to the network problem my macbook worked fine everytime. Anyone know the answer?

My guess is all the issues are probably related and fall back to malware.
AVG is probably correct in identifying malware. So I suggest you try some cleaning tools other than Emsisoft .
ones I use (all of them one after the other until I find one that can cope) are;
Roguekiller http://www.adlice.com/softwares/roguekiller/
Malwarebytes anti malware Free http://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/var2/confirm/
ESET online scanner http://www.eset.com/int/home/products/online-scanner/
So first create a clean boot in Windows using Microsoft's instructions https://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135?wa=wsignin1.0 and then run the anti malware applications.
My outside looking in guess is that malware has set itself up as an internet proxy and is is downloading copies of itself and other malware, blocking some mail port as times as downloading more malware is more important, and probably breaking your tivo as well..
Try the malware programs first. If that does not work I will try and talk you through some logging to see what is happening.

My 2 notebooks running XP will no longer detect the BEFW11S4 WAP, what can I do?

My 2 notebooks running XP will no longer detect the BEFW11S4 WAP, what can I do?
The connections just stopped yesterday. Both laptops work OK when connected by ethernet cables and my main PC running XP64 connected also by ethernet is not affected.
Both laptops can see my neighbour's wireless network and worked OK with my son-in-laws network last night when I took them over to his house.
Can I assume that the "wireless component has died?
Any recommendations for a direct updated replacement?
I'm currently connected to NTL broadband but may at sometime switch to Sky broadband in the future but I understand that I would not be able to do this with my NTL phone line.

Thanks for the comments Charrie21,
SSID Broadcast is enabled,
Of the 3 leds on the front left:
WLAN ACT is not illuminated
WLAN Link is illuminated [According to the instruction because it is connected to a cable modem],
POWER is illuminated.
Of the 3 leds on the front right:
LINK is illuminated,
ACT is not illuminated,
Diag in not illuminated.
The router has been reset several times.
SSID has been changed several times
Channel number has been changed several times
WAP was previously 64BIt and has been changed to 128Bit
Firmware version is the same date as currently on the Linksys web sute for this model.
I am thinking the "wireless" component is dead.

Cannot get Windows 7 x64 laptop to connect to AIRONET 1140 WAP

I recently changed the configuration of my Aironet 1140 from WEP to WAP2-Enterprise to make it more secure. I am using the WAP as the radius server. After making the change I connected my Blackberry to the wap as well as a Samsung Chromebook. However when I tried to connect my HP laptop it is unable to connect. Watching from the Aironet's console I see that it is processing the association and windows ask me to enter my uid and password. When I do this I get an authentication error. I have tried several times adjusting parameters on windows but it always fails. Here is the configuration of the WAP:

Internet Access Not Available on WAP Guest Network

Hello,
We have the RV180W router and the WAP321 access point in our business. We want to broadcast two SSIDs from both locations: the office SSID, which shares routing to LAN traffic, and a guest SSID.
The office computers are attached via ethernet to a switch off of LAN port 1 on the router. The AP is attached to LAN port 2 on the router.
On the router, the office SSID and the LAN are members of VLAN 1. The guest network is a member of VLAN 2. From the router, everything works just fine.
On the WAP, the staff SSID works fine, but the guest SSID has no internet. Both the office and guest networks get DHCP successfully from the router.
Our VLAN membership table in the router and WAP are attached, as well as other configuration details.
Why would we not be getting internet on the guest ID only on the WAP? Thanks for your help!

Applying specific DNS configurations for VLAN2 and on the AP does not resolve the issue either.
Here's a bit more clarification.
From the router:
Staff network works just fine (IP in subnet 192.168.1.1 is given, internet can be accessed)
Guest network works just fine (IP in subnet 192.168.2.1 is given, internet can be accessed)
From the AP:
Staff network works just fine (IP in subnet 192.168.1.1 is given, internet can be accessed)
Guest network can be accessed with limited connectivity (IP in subnet 192.168.2.1 is given, internet cannot be accessed)
The guest network from the AP is the only oddball. The only thing I can think that seems different is the subnets. For the staff network, we specify that the gateway, DHCP server, and DNS server are all 192.168.1.1, the router. But the guest network, tied to VLAN2, is in the subnet 192.168.2.1. From the router, you can specify that VLAN1 looks at the staff subnet and VLAN2 looks at the guest subnet, but I don't see a way to do this in the AP, it just has the place for one of each of those to be specified (per screenshot ap-ipv4.png).
