WDS Vs. Root Access Point

What's the diference between WDS and Root Access Point??

They're actually fairly different concepts. A Root access point is an infrastructure AP that associates clients, which is what almost every AP you install will be. WDS is a Cisco protocol that lets APs pass user credentials to each other to shorten the authentication process while roaming, among other things. A WDS AP is the AP that stores all the keys and manages them among APs.
Is that what you're looking for? Again, they're not really the same concept. Your WDS APs are usually root APs.

    The WAP54G's repeater mode essentially sets up the 2nd access point as an extender of the main (root) access point. Since you will be extending the signal, you will need to configure the same wireless settings on both devices. SSIDs, channels, security settings need to be identical. Do set a STATIC IP address for your APs. If your network allows you to use the default IP (192.168.1.245) of the AP, you may set the 2nd unit to have an IP address like 192.168.1.246. The APs need to be in the same network.
    An essential step in setting up the AP to repeater mode is indicating the main AP's wireless MAC address. This will register the main device to the second AP and will get them to communicate. To get this info, you need to:
    1. Login to the main AP's setup page.
    2. Go to Status.
    3. Click on the Wireless subtab.
    4. Retrieve the MAC address indicated.
    Register this info unto the 2nd AP and Save Settings. You may need to reboot the devices to get the connection going. Once the devices are in sync, the client devices should be getting IP addresses assigned by the DHCP server (your DSL modem). To confirm that your setup is operational, you should be able to roam on the network in a location you would not have network access to without the AP on wireless repeater mode.

  • Bridging with 1131 Ag series access point.

    Hi,
    I want to use 1131 AG series access point for bridging between two buildings which are 20 metres apart from each other.
    Is it possible and what are the limitation for this design?
    Please help.
    thanks in advance.
    Pulkit Sharma

    Hi Pulkit,
    The autonomous 1130AG series access point supports these operating wireless modes:
    ? Root access point?Connected to a wired LAN and supports wireless clients.
    ? Repeater access point?Not connected to a wired LAN, associates to a root access point, and supports wireless clients
    ? Workgroup bridge?Not connected to a wired LAN, associates to a root access point or bridge, and supports wired network devices.
    As this unit was not designed to be use outdoors, having a clean RF line of sight is really difficult. To be honest I do not think this unit was designed to connect two remote buildings even if the units are indoors. I would look for APs with detachable antennas like the 1242AG or the 1200 modular series so you can use external antennas and bridging roles.
    Hope it helps,
    Roger Carpio.

  • Cisco 1142 Wireless access point intermittently will not authenticate

    Hi all,
    We have a Cisco 1142 standalone access point, and from time to time I will come into the office and it will not authenticate any users to either our guest or corporate networks.

    When the issue occurs does that affect both 2.4GHz & 5GHz devices ? I would see which band operating devices affected.
    I noticed you have set CH11 under Radio 0 statically.  I would prefer to configure it as below so AP can change the channel depend on the environment.

  • WAP54G as Access Point with another WAP54G as Repeater

    I've got two WAP54G's.  Both are the 3.1 hardware model and I've updated to the latest firmware on both (3.0.5)...
    The first WAP, is hardwired to my router.  That WAP works great.
    I'd like to to use the second WAP54G as a repeater for the first.  I've read through the Linksys docs and done a bunch of googling.  I confess that I'm still not getting it.
    Some info about root WAP:
    - Set the SSID
    - Channel 6
    - WPA2-Personal
    - Static IP
    Some questions about setting up the 2nd as a repeater:
    1) Do I need to run it on a different channel?  11 perhaps?
    2) Do I need to configure it with a different SSID than the root WAP?
    3) The linksys docs indicate that when I configure the 2nd WAP in "repeater" mode I need to enter the root WAPs wireless MAC address.  But the root WAP doesn't seem to have a "wireless" mac, just a "MAC" (it doesn't seem to have two different MAC addresses to pick from).
    4) Should I configure this with a static IP address compatible with my LAN?  The root router has a static IP assigned to it, do I assign another unique IP to this one?
    5) Do I need to restart after the config changes?
    6) Can I expect DHCP to propogate from my DSL modem through my root WAP, over the repeater connection, and to devices server by the repeater?
    In general, I'm a little confused about what "repeater" mode should do for me.
    Do I setup the repeater-mode (with the MAC address) and then expect the WAP to "mirror" the root?
    Or do I setup the repeater as if it were, itself, a "root" (give it a SSID, an IP, a security setup, etc.) and then just expect the repeater setting as an alternative to what would otherwise be a hardwire to my dsl modem?
    And how do I know when it's working?  Do I need to restart?
    Gary

    The WAP54G's repeater mode essentially sets up the 2nd access point as an extender of the main (root) access point. Since you will be extending the signal, you will need to configure the same wireless settings on both devices. SSIDs, channels, security settings need to be identical. Do set a STATIC IP address for your APs. If your network allows you to use the default IP (192.168.1.245) of the AP, you may set the 2nd unit to have an IP address like 192.168.1.246. The APs need to be in the same network.
    An essential step in setting up the AP to repeater mode is indicating the main AP's wireless MAC address. This will register the main device to the second AP and will get them to communicate. To get this info, you need to:
    1. Login to the main AP's setup page.
    2. Go to Status.
    3. Click on the Wireless subtab.
    4. Retrieve the MAC address indicated.
    Register this info unto the 2nd AP and Save Settings. You may need to reboot the devices to get the connection going. Once the devices are in sync, the client devices should be getting IP addresses assigned by the DHCP server (your DSL modem). To confirm that your setup is operational, you should be able to roam on the network in a location you would not have network access to without the AP on wireless repeater mode.

  • Aironet 1262N - Access Point behind Non-Root Bridge possible?

    Hi,
    I want to connect two buildings. Let's call them Building A (main) and Building B.
    „A“ is the main building and provides a wired LAN to an AAA server (192.168.1.2) and the WAN gateway (192.168.1.1).
    There I placed a 1262N with the IP 192.168.1.3 connected to the wired LAN and configured it as Root-Bridge. Let's call it AP01.
    „B“ is a pretty large building and has a wired LAN from one end to the other end.
    So I placed two 1262N there, each at one end.
    The first 1262N is configured as non-root Bridge (AP02) and connects to the Root Bridge (AP01).
    The IP address of AP02 is 192.168.1.4.
    The second 1262N is configured as Access Point (AP03) and connects to the non-root Bridge (AP02) via the wired LAN.
    The IP adress of AP03 is 192.168.1.5
    My Questions:
    1. Do I need tell AP02 about the AAA Server in Building A or acts AP01 like a AAA Proxy for AP02 because of it Root Bridge functionality?
    2. How Do I tell AP03 that it should use AP02 as a gateway to building A?
    I attached a diagram.

  • How do I make my AirPort Extreme a access point?

    I just bought a Time Capsule and now I want to extend my range of my network.  How do I make my AE an access point?

    In this case, you will want to configure both base stations in an extended network.
    Dynamic WDS - Extending a Wireless Network Setup
    If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
    Open AirPort Utility, and then, select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
    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.
    Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then, click Wireless.
    Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
    Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and then, 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.
    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.
    Enter the base station network and base station password if necessary.
    Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

  • How do I configure my AirPort Extreme as a wireless access point?  My cable modem goes to a router, and one of those ports goes to my AirPortExtreme.

    I am about to hook up my airport extreme.  My cable modem goes into a router, and one of those ports will supply my airport extreme.  I was told by the Apple Store that I would need to configure my airport extreme as a wirreless access point.  How do I do this?

    With sbcgobal I got a Gateway 2wire modem. What I would like to know is how do I set up my APE as remote?
    Unfortunately, you won't be able to do this as few non-AirPort routers will work with AirPorts in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).

  • Access Point(s) - AIR-AP1231G-A-K9 and others - Spotty Connectivity ...

    Hello,
    We have eighteen Cisco Aironet wireless access points (most of them are AIR-AP1231G-A-K9 with 12.3(2)JA2 IOS loaded) across our campus which people have weird issues with connecting.
    Everywhere, people can associate and get an IP address without any issues. However, they cannot maintain a reliable connection to systems either on our network or off. They will get a web page to load and then it drops them out. In addition, they cannot connect back again for random intervals of time. To make this even more bizarre is that for random intervals they maintain a solid connection until it kicks people out again.
    The vlan itself (60 in the configuration file below) works without issue as we have devices plugged in directly to the vlan via a hardwired port and they are stable.
    Below is the configuration file. Any reason why we would have this issue?
    Thank you for your time.
    Regards,
    Christopher Koeber

    Hi Christopher,
    Couple of suggestions before moving forward:
    1. I would first secure these WLANs with a least a pre-shared key if possible(WPA/WPA2).  Let me know if you need information on how to do this.
    2. Next, I would remove the 'short-slot-time' on the radio:
    config terminal
    interface do0
    no short-slot-time
    end
    If your users continue to have issues, I would want more information on the types of clients in the environment as well as wireless adapter make/model/driver version. 

  • Access Point - AIR-AP1231G-A-K9 - PCs can connect but Apple Macs Cannot ...

    Hello,
    This is a sort of follow up to a post I made a few days ago. I made changes to my access points and on Windows computers everything works but on Apple products (Macs, iPads, iPhones) the strangest things happen.
    (1). About 90% of the time nothing works in that we get NO connection to the Access Point. In the client association logs we see the Mac Address show up but there is a 0.0.0 address where it seems like the device is trying to get an DHCP lease. After a while, the device gets the IPPA address of 169.X.X.X.
    (2) After a extended period of time (an hour or more) the Apple device eventually gets an IP address from the network and then is able to successfully connect to the network. However, the connection is short lived and drops after about 30 minutes to an hour.
    Is there a problem with the way Apple products encapsulates their network traffic versus Windows or other products?
    Again, this not affect any Windows or Andriod based devices (laptops, phones, etc.) They can connect right away and never drop out.

    For initial configuration you can access AP from the Console port.
    Following are the guides you need to look at for configuring you 1600 AP :
    Cisco Aironet 1600/2600/3600 Series Access Point Deployment Guide
    Getting Started Guide: Cisco Aironet 1600 Series Access Points
    Moreover you can check the configuration guide from cisco.com/google, based on the Actual software image your AP is running. Some of the newer IOS for AP you can check here.

  • Can I connect my Wii to my personal hotspot using my iPhone 5s?  Wii finds access point but getting code 51330 after putting in correct password.

  • Accessing a WRT160Nv2 through a Netgear WG602v4 access point?

    I need some sort of extender to ensure the wireless signals reaches upstairs in my house.  The only one that Best Buy was the Netgear WG602v4.  Doing my best to follow directions, I got the WG602 configured as the WRT160N from an SSID and security/password perspective.  However, none of the computers connected to the access point can access the Internet.  I've tried the WG602 both in point to point and repeater modes.
    A number of the forums talk about settings that I don't seem to have on the WRT as well as something called WDS.
    Does anyone know if I can use the WG602 as an access point for the WRT160N and, if so, how I can make it happen?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for trying to help.  I wonder if the two devices just aren't compatible -- one is Linksys and the other is Netgear.
    I've also been reading about something called WDS, and the WRT160Nv2 doesn't seem to have WDS - or at least I can't find it.
    I can still get other devices to connect to the WG602v4, but no Internet through it.
    You said to give the WG602v4 the same default gateway as the Linksys router.  According to my router that default gateway is 151.164.182.113.  However, when I enter that into the Netgear device, it won't take.
    Any more ideas from anyone?

  • Access Point Bridge Configuration

    I have two 1262N access points with 5Ghz antennas, and I have configured one of them as a root bridge and the other as a non-root bridge; both using the same ssid.  I have enble both dott11Radio interfaces on each access point.  The problem I am having is that they do not associate.  I have not configured them for any encryption or security.  I just want to make sure the connect before I add any other configuration.  Is there anything else that I need to configure to make them associate.

  • Can I use this as a network access point?

    Very interested in this as a way of playing my iTunes music through my amplifier, but as I also need a wireless access point I'm wondering if this will do both jobs.
    I already have a wireless network, but after moving the router no longer have access to it from my Xbox or PC. Does anyone know if I can use the AirPort Express as an access point?
    What I want to do is connect the PC and Xbox to an old switch I already have, and connect that switch to the AirPort Express, connecting both devices to my wireless network.

    I am sure.
    From KB 108040, AirPort Express: What is client mode?:...In client mode AirPort Express does not offer itself as a wireless access point or use its Ethernet port....
    Wireless Distribution System is another way for AirPort Express to join an existing Wi-Fi network. AirPort Express uses its Ethernet port and can offer its wireless access point in WDS mode, but it requires that your other access points be AirPort Extreme and/or AirPort Express...From KB 108038, AirPort Express frequently asked questions (FAQ):
    2. Question: Can AirPort Express act as a bridge?
    Answer: AirPort Express can act as a bridge in three different ways:
    If you have an existing wired network, it can bridge this network to wireless clients.
    If it is set up as a WDS remote or relay station, it can bridge the wireless network to wired clients.
    If it is set up as a WDS remote or relay station, it can bridge the wireless network to wireless clients (or "wirelessly extend" the range of the network).

  • Wireless Client Authentication issues when roaming Access Points (Local)

    I have a Cisco 5508 with Software version 7.4.121.0 and Field Recovery 7.6.101.1.
    There are a handful of clients that when roaming between AP's with the same SSID that get an authentication issue and have to restart the wireless to get back on.
    From Cisco ISE
    Event
    5400 Authentication failed
    Failure Reason
    11514 Unexpectedly received empty TLS message; treating as a rejection by the client
    Resolution
    Ensure that the client's supplicant does not have any known compatibility issues and that it is properly configured. Also ensure that the ISE server certificate is trusted by the client, by configuring the supplicant with the CA certificate that signed the ISE server certificate. It is strongly recommended to not disable the server certificate validation on the client!
    Root cause
    While trying to negotiate a TLS handshake with the client, ISE expected to receive a non-empty TLS message or TLS alert message, but instead received an empty TLS message. This could be due to an inconformity in the implementation of the protocol between ISE and the supplicant. For example, it is a known issue that the XP supplicant sends an empty TLS message instead of a non-empty TLS alert message. It might also involve the supplicant not trusting the ISE server certificate for some reason. ISE treated the unexpected message as a sign that the client rejected the tunnel establishment.
    I am having a hard time figuring out what is causing this. My assumption is if there were a problem with the Controller or AP configurations then it would happen to everyone. My further assumption is if the client had a problem with their laptop (windows 7) then why does work at other times? So I have checked and the ISE certificate is trusted by client.
    Is something happening that the previous access point is holding on to the mac and the return authentication traffic is going to the old AP instead of the new one or something like that which is corrupting the data?
    I also had this from Splunk for the same client:
    Mar 5 13:44:51 usstlz-piseps01 CISE_Failed_Attempts 0014809622 1 0 2015-03-05 13:44:51.952 +00:00 0865003824 5435 NOTICE RADIUS: NAS conducted several failed authentications of the same scenario
     FailureReason="12929 NAS sends RADIUS accounting update messages too frequently"
    Any help on this would be appreciated. These error messages give me an idea but doesn't give me the exact answer to why the problem occurred and what needs to be done to fix it.
    Thanks
