Wireless Access

Hi
I need help urgently please.  I am installing a Cisco WAP2000 access point.  This is an additonal AP and will be used to extend the coverage provided by the exisiting WAPS that we have.  The SSID is the same.  When I connect the WAP I can ping the address.  I have the channel set to 4-2.427GHz, the same as the others.  Is this correct.
I can ping the new WAP when its connected to the LAN but users cant seem to authenticate.  The WAP points to a readius server and the users authenticate in Active Directory.
These WAPS , i.e the exisiting and the new ones, do not provide users with Web access.  They are routed to th net via the serial router. 
What can I do to sort this problem out?

Irivn,
     One generalized recoomendation would be to move the AP's to channels 1, 6 or 11, but that's a best practice thought and not likely to be causing your issue.
     You said the AP is configured for a radius server, have you added that AP to the radius server as an authenticator? if not then it won't allow the clients to authenticate thru it.
     Also is the new WAP2000 cabled to the network or is it acting as a wireless repeater?? If it's acting as a wireless repeater then it needs to be configure to as a repeater rather than an access point and I am not sure if it has this capability. Also worth noting is that repeater mode if supported can be a bad idea since it cuts the bandwidth of that AP in half. since it is trying to back-haul and serve on the same radio.

  • No wireless access with Windows XP Pro (SP2) on Macbook Pro

    Hello,
    Just installed Windows XP Pro (SP2) on my new Macbook Pro using Bootcamp Beta. The installation has gone fine with the exception of wireless access to the internet through my Airport home network.
    I've tried all the other configuraton wizards on XP...no joy.
    The three other macs in the house (2 wireless, 1 ethernet) and one Windows laptop (wireless) are all fine and dandy.
    Any suggestions on what to do?
    Thanks

    Right Click on My Computer
    Select Manage
    Click on Device Manager
    Make sure that your Ethernet Adapters are working properly
    If there is an red X or a yellow ! next to any ethernet adapter then try to reinstall the drivers.
    (you can reinstall the drivers via the installation cd or double click on the hardware device under device manager. there should be a reinstall drivers button in there. point it to the CD that you burned from bootcamp)
    (there will be a couple of devices that are not working properly.)

  • An Error Occurred while trying to join "my wireless access point"

    Hi,
    I've been using wireless access for a year and never had a problem connecting.
    But starting yesterday I get a +*An Error Occurred while trying to join "my wireless access point", Please try again.+* Message.
    I have 2 Mac's and have no problem connecting with the other one. It’s just the IMac.
    I tried everything including resetting router, changing password, adding a $ to the password, accessing without password, deleting the whole air port and create a new one, but still getting the same message.
    I might need to add, while I was working with the IMac I didn’t use wireless for a few hours, but when I got back to my browser I noticed that I was connected to a different wireless service. (FONFREEINTERNET if it matters) I have no idea why, since I didn’t change it.
    Anyways, I tried to switch back to my access point, but it wouldn’t let me. It’ll just give me the +*An Error Occurred while trying to join "my wireless access point", Please try again.+* Message.
    Funny is when I use the FONFREEINTERNET access point the internet seems to work fine.
    I could look up Google without a problem, but when I tried to connect to Facebook for example it won’t let me. Instead a FONFREEINTERNET page will pop up with some options on how to pay! (by minute/or day/or week…)
    I get the strange feeling that they planted some kind of bug/virus!!!
    I don’t know what else to do.
    Anyone knows that problem? What can I do?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    I researched on FONFREEINTERNET, there’s a spot close to my house/guess that’s the one I used…
    http://maps.fon.com/ ZIP CODE 904-0113 and you’ll see a coffee pod, which is about 2 minutes walk from my house.

    Hello Tesserax,
    I get the same error message again...
    I tried the 3 suggested steps again, but unfortunately it did not work.
    After a Restart, Sleep or just the awaking from Screensaver mode I’m disconnected from my wireless Network anymore.
    Even if the Computer was asleep for just a second!
    I am able to fix the problem temporarily with Network Preferences → Assist me → Diagnostics
    Choose Airport → Choose network → Enter Password (Even if I check safe password it’ll ask me every time) → and than usually all lights on the left menu switch from red to green and I get the popup message “A Network Change has been detected. Your Internet seems to work fine.” (similar - I’m at work and don’t remember exactly)
    And it works fine…until the screensaver comes on or it sleeps again
    I have the Problem with my IMac and Mini but the IMac at least remembers my password…
    Any Ideas
    I’m connected through a Buffalo WZR2-G300N wireless router

  • Apple TV 2G (Airplay and Homesharing) can only stream from devices on the same wireless access point range??

    connection:
    40 Mbps Fiber Broadband connection using:
    Devices:
    1. Main Modem/router (AP1): Huawei HG8245 (provided by ISP) - Wireless enabled.
    2. Remote Access point (AP2): Linksys/Cisco E3200 Wireless gigabyte router flashed with DD-WRT v24-sp2 (06/14/11) mini (Cascaded -wired- LAN to LAN from main modem).
    3. Wireless Repeater to cover a dead spot  (AP3): Linksys/Cisco E1000 wireless repeater.
    4. Apple Tv (AT2G) with home sharing/airplay enabled.
    5.( Ipad) with home sharing on itunes enabled.
    6. Win7 (PC) using iTunes with Home sharing enabled.
    all devices are updated to their latest firmware.
    In order to cover a large 3 story house with Wifi. I had (AP1) is located on the first floor, while (AP2) is located in the basement floor directly wired by LAN to LAN with (AP1). (AP3) is located on the Ground floor away from the living room to repeat wireless network into the back yard. While (AT2G) is located in the living room on the ground floor right in the middle of both (AP1) + (AP2) while connected via Wifi.
    Network SSID, security, passphrase and wireless settings of (AP2) are identical to (AP1) to create a single big LAN/WLAN roaming network where all devices connected to both wireless access points can find/share the others. As understood, it's refered to as bridging.
    I have noticed that my iphone/ipad does not show the airplay button anywhere within the wireless network. it seems that the apple TV randomly choses to connect to the AP with stronger signal, or switch to the other in case of a reboot to one of them.
    to elaborate further, if i was sitting in the living room (groundfloor), trying to airplay some you tube contents via Wifi to my Apple TV, i may not find the airplay button available all the time, i found out the reason is while i'm wirelessly connected to AP1, the Apple TV was connected to AP2 and both deviced cannot detect each others to enable my purpose. that goes the same for Home Sharing. only if my Ipad/PC and Apple Tv are on the same wireless AP. they would detect each others immediately.
    although, the second AP (AP2) is suppose to extend my wireless network of the same subnet in which any device connected can be found.
    After all sorts of trial and error tweaking my router/access point, I thought the problem would be due to the Linksys 3200 capability of bridging WLAN and lacks few protocols that enables my purpose. i have flashed the firmware to a DD-WRT, but again, problem was not solved.
    I have not tried having my Apple Tv wired to either router/AP, but i assume it may work well if i do so. i still need to solve this wireless connection issue though.
    Am i the only one with this problem, would there be something wrong with my setup? 
    Your feedback is highly appreciated.

    You may or may not already have your network set up correctly, it's just that I can't tell from what you have said.
    I have a main router provided by my ISP, I have several other Airport Extremes and Airport expresses connected by Ethernet, all set up to bridge the network created by the main router.
    Each maker has their own settings, but bridging should be reasonably obvious. In simple terms my main router distributes IP addresses to all devices, the Airports bridge that network by passing these addresses to the devices from the main router. A base station that isn't in bridging mode will distribute its own addresses to the devices connected to it.
    I don't really follow your next point.
    instruction for configuration vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, the best course of action here is to refer to the manual. If everything is set up properly the addresses of everything on your network will have identical sets of numbers for the first 3 of 4 groups of numbers that make up an address, the last set must always be different. I think the part you are referring to with your DD-WRT is the option to have Ethernet and wifi bridged or not.
    Some routers may be easier to configure than others, but generally speaking they should all work with the Apple TV. 5Ghz is less likely to suffer interference but it is much more likely to be blocked by solid objects, it may or may not be an advantage.

  • How to set-up Guest Client Wireless Access "PIN" with Restricted Access ???

    This is my first time, and, I am not familiar with the rules.
    Is it possible for someone to answer a slightly different question...
    I just bought a TC and hooked it up to my cable modem. I have 3 computers that I want to configure, with the following requirements: WPA/WPA2 security all around, only the 3 computers I have to be allowed use of the TC, and, no listing of the network should appear on remote computers (i.e., a "closed network"). With these basic needs, the three computers I want to be in this network are listed below --- subject to the following ACCESS limitations:
    1. A G4 iMAC (10.5.5), wired to the TC via an Ethernet cable: FULL ACCESS; i.e., shared file access, TM back-ups, HP printer access, internet access;
    2. A MacBook (10.5.5), airport wireless access to the TC: FULL ACCESS, as the iMAC.
    3. A (new generation) PC laptop: VERY LIMITED access --- access only to the internet, so that the TC looks only like a "wireless router." Internet access available at any time of the day or week. It would be good if this client did not have to use any of my passwords, just a "PIN." Also, I do NOT want this PC client to see my printer, and, also, to NOT see my TC base station and NOT have access to my TC/TM disks. To set this up, I entered the PC laptop name and the "MAC" address using the Airport Utility. Then, I selected the "PIN" choice for access, so that this client need not have to ever use or know of any of my passwords. After I selected the "PIN" option, the utility asked me to enter the PC client's PIN. How do I obtain the PC's PIN? This is very confusing to me, so, I apologize to you all (I'm very new at this).
    Hopefully, this TC-only network concern is within the guidelines to be answered.
    Thanks,
    David.

    Dear Smokerz,
    Well, this is where I'm confused. I did use the Airport Utility. I went to the place where it asks for the PIN number. So, I made up an 8-digit number and entered it. I assumed that after I entered the number, it would prompt me to do something with the PC. But, the "Continue" button did not become highlighted. Hence, my confusion. Can you please be more specific as to exactly what I should do using the Airport Utility? The detailed instructions are vague to me, unfortunately.
    Also, with respect to the PC Laptop: I only want it to have access to the internet via the TC (so that the TC acts as a wireless router). And, I want to set up restrictions for limited use of the PC: NO ACCESS to the HP printer, and NO ACCESS to the TM/TC (other than as a wireless router). As before, can you please be more specific as to exactly what I should do using the Airport Utility?
    I must be missing a trivial menu item, so, again, I apologize.
    Thank you,
    David.

  • How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
    If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.

  • Is it possible to remove the iphone history of wireless access points to which you've connected?

    So.... I work in a place where there is a lot of security and snooping.  There are folks specifically assigned to track down phones in unauthorized places.  Their enthusiasm is sometimes annoying.
    I leave my phone in a locker outside of the restricted area.  However, I recently overheard some of the "snoops" discussing a phone that they had found.  They were discussing a specific wireless access point that was in that phone's history, that caused some discussion.  Although the phone was located in the locker area, they had apparently discovered it and examined it.
    It was my phone.
    One obvious course of action is to make sure the phone is always turned off (which I will do), but they have now identified my phone by the APs to which I connect, and I'd like to erase that history.
    Is it possible?
    Thank you.

  • IOS 6.0.1 - Problems with certificate based authentication on wireless access point

    Hi all
    We are using iPad 2 as order terminals in our shops for about 5 months. Some of the iPads (the first who entered the field) started to cause problems now. These iPads are no longer able to keep long-term connection to the wireless access point in our stores. After selecting the SSID a successful authentication using the stored EAP-TLS certificate is performed (this can be seen in the log files of our wireless controller and by the IP adress that is given by DHCP). But within seconds the affected iPads opening up a captive portal page (empty, without contents) and separates the connection to the SSID after a short time again.
    Affected are currently only iPads 2 with iOS 6.0.1, which were staged about 5 months ago. The newer devices with iOS 6.1+ connect without problems and open no captive portal page. The first cases occurred on the last Wednesday. Before that everything worked without difficulty. No modifications took place on the security structure.  The numbers of affected devices increased until all iOS 6.0.1 were affected.
    Access to other SSIDs (without use of certificates, by entering a key) for the devices is still possible (the devices does not open an captive portal page). The DHCP scope is not used up, so there are enough IP addresses available.
    "Newer iPads" with an iOS of 6.1+ are are showing no problems on the same wireless access point, where the older devices are rejected. New and old devices use the same certificates and authentication mechanisms.
    In the analysis of the issue, it turned out that  the problem can be solved by an update to iOS 6.1.3. Subsequently, the iPads will be able to rebuild a connection with the access point, without a captive portal page.
    Since the bandwidth is very narrow dimensioned in our stores, the communication of the iPads was severely restricted. Thus, the iPads are for exampleare accessible for the APNS but can not find iOS updates or check for their availability.
    A comprehensive update to iOS 6.1.3 is currently excluded.
    Does anyone knows this issue? What else can be done (except from updating)?

    I will answer my own question in case it helps anyone else.
    It would "seem" the ios 6 devices try the proxy and if that is not working they resort to the def gateway.
    To Fix I did the following:
    Brocade WIFI network has IPS and Advanced Firewall rules that seemed to be tthwarting some traffic, the iphones would then try the default gateway and be blocked at the FW. 
    I disabled the IPS and the Advanced Firewall Settings on the wifi as they are redundant to our main IPS and firewall that all traffic flows through anyway.  I will tune it later, but when the CEO is demanding a fix "**** the security, full speed ahead"
    Created some rues on the firewall to allow...
    - IMAP-SSL (port993) outbound
    - SMTPS (port 465) to yahoo servers outbound
    - tcp port 587 to yahoo servers outbound
    - https to akamai servers
    Most http and https goes through the proxy as it should, BUT...
    It seems that the akamai traffic allways ignores the wifi proxy settings and just heads straight for the default gateway.  I suspect there is a bug in the icloud app? 
    Hope this helps someone else.

  • N800 no longer detecting any wireless access point

    The device is working fine couple days ago, then today when I turn it on, the "connection manager" can no longer see any wireless access point. Not only my home network, also
    my neighbor's wlan. My laptop can detect 10 networks
    around my house. I try upgrad my os to the latest version and it is still not working. Is anyone has similar experience ? Is it a hardware problem ? Any advice will be
    welcome.

    It happened to my N800 too just a couple of days ago after I installed a number of applications. I have already removed those applications but the N800 still would not detect the access points that it usually detects with no problem.
    It could not detect the WLAN inside our house even if the N800 was physically sitting on top of the router. It would intermittently detect my neighbor's WLAN (the one which I usually use) but it would not log on to it.
    I tried removing the battery hoping to reset it but nothing changed.
    It also would not connect to my PC via USB. The computer could not detect it. This one happened even before I installed those applications.

  • Can I disable my Verizon Fios Router Wireless radio, connect it to a switch and use my airport express as my wireless access point connected to an in wall ethernet port?

    Here's the deal.  I have a Verizon Fios MI424WR router.  My house has CAT5 throughout the house.  The media panel is located in the garage.  I want to take the Verizon Fios Router and cannot it in the media panel so I can connect a switch to it, that way, all my CAT5 can fire throughout the house. Verizon being Verizon decided to connect the router directly in the office. 
    Can I go this route (Router in media panel, switch cross connect to it) and use Airport Express, connected to one of the in-wall CAT5 ports in my house and then set it up as my wireless access point to provide wifi to my portable devices (iPad, iPhone, Macbook)?  Is this possible? Will Airport Express comminicate with my verizon router via ethernet in-wall? Do I have to turn off the wireless radio in the Verizon router?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    That is right, by hard wired I was just making clear wired vs wireless attachment.  AirPort family of devices will only act in a repeater mode with their own family members, not FiOS routers.  they have to be wired to work.
    There are some useful docs you can download from Apple, Support, Manuals, Peripherals, AirPort (just follow thos links from the Support button on the top bar):

    The last has a diagram of what you are trying to do, though without the house wiring, etc., but the basic principle.

  • USB Wireless Access Point

    My Touch works great from home where I can access my wireless network. However, we don't have a public wireless network. We do have a dozen machines connected to the internet that are outside the company firewall available for personal use. I'm wondering if there is a USB dongle type device that would allow me to wirelessly access the computer's internet access. Anyone aware of such a device and have suggestions for make and model?
    Thanks.

    You could buy an Airport Express and hook it up to the Ethernet cable connected to one of these PCs.

  • I can't get my macbook to access shared files on a windows computer when it's connected through a wireless access point.

    I recently bought a Netgear Wireless Access Point to use in the office so we can have a wireless network.  I configured the wireless network, and I am currently connected to the internet.  However, I no longer can access the shared files on the Windows computers like I could when I was hardwired in with an ethernet cable.  I've disabled all of the internal firewalls on all of the computers (and there's no firewall built into the WAP), all the computers are on the same workgroup, and I've tried accessing the computer with the shared files directly via the IP address using the instructions found here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8849.html. 
    My computer sees that the other computers on the network are there.  They show up in the network view from the finder.  However, when I try to connect to them, it tells me the connection failed.  When I click connect as, it says:
    "Connection Failed
    "The server “PC-ASSISTANT” may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    When I try to connect via the "connect to server" on the finder, I type in "smb://10.0.0.103/Word Processing"  It tells me:
    "There was an error connecting to the server “10.0.0.103”. Check the server name or IP address, and then try again.
    If you are unable to resolve the problem contact your system administrator."

  • Setting up webauth for guest wireless access

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to set up guest wireless access.  having no experience with this at all, I'm beginning to struggle.
    Equipment:
    2x 3850 stacked and acting as one switch running 03.06.00E
    4x 1602E AP's registered to the WLC running on the 3850
    The infrastructure is sound and corporate wireless access works ok.
    I need a config that allows a guest user to connect to the guest SSID, DHCP an address, then when they open a browser, they are automatically redirected to a splash screen for them to log on. Once they log on with the supplied username and password they are then forwarded to whatever site it is they wish to go to;  So far my config looks like this (removed unnecessary parts for brevity);

    I carried out a wireshark trace and can see the dhcp ok, then see DNS queries to the DNS name serever and the replies, followed by a TCP SYN to the resolved IP of the website requested - but that's it, there is no SYN ACK reply or redirect to the login page which i have placed on the flash and specified under 'custom-page login' 
    I am under the impression that the way this should work is as follows;
    1. Client connects to SSID and carries out DHCP DORA and is assigned an IP address
    2. open browser on client and carry out name resolution 
    3. once name is resolved, carry TCP three way handshake with requested site (e.g. google)
    4. once three way handshake is completed client carries out an HTTP GET request
    5. WLC holds the response and redirects to the login page
    6. on successful login, original requested page is forwarded to client.
    I can't seem to get a response - even if I remove the ACL.
    Am i heading in the right direction or am I trying to achieve something which is not possible with my setup?
    Cheers

  • WRT310N as a "Wireless Access Point"

    Hello,
    I am in the market for a wireless device to add to an existing subnet.  I see many tutorials regarding routers as wireless access points, but I am not sure if this device will work.
    My plan is to connect one of the switch ports to an existing switch and not use/configure the WAN port.
    I would rather purchase a router then a true WAP do to the fact that it can also act as a router (should I need it later), whereas a WAP cannot.
    Any thoughts on this is appreciated.

    Well try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly
    the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the
    router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power
    cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable
    to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug
    in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!! 
    Open the setup page of router using 192.168.1.1 then put in the
    password as admin...all you need to do is do the wireless settings such
    as Radio Band Frequency to Standard 20 MHZ frequency,channel to 11.
    Also,the advanced wireless settings to Beacon Interval=50,Frag
    thres=2306 & Rts thres=2307 & then uncheck a Block Anonymous Internet
    Requests & it will definately work!!!
