Wireless accesspoint issue....

Hi everyone,
iam lil stuck and would appreciate if someone can point in right direction to resolve follwoing issue....we have 1240 access point at our bracnh office which has one vlan for staff and one for guest, AP is connected to switch which has one adsl connection and one mpls connection coming in from two different providers...guest vlan traffic goes out via adsl and staff tarffic goes out via mpls...switch has guest and staff vlan configured and required svi ( guest and staff) to route traffic to two diff destinations accordingly....there is trunk coming from access point whoich carry traffic for both vlans and terminates on trunk port of switch.....
Access point has a default gateway pointing to switch management ip address ( which also happens to be ip address of lan inetrface pointing to mpls not adsl).....
intially guest coudnt connect and upon troubleshooting found that bt router was switched off its switched back on and we havnt tested connectivity yet but monday we will find out...problem is there is command on access point "ip radius source inetrface"
"....satff are authenticated via radius and BVi1 port has ip address dhcp under it but its not getting any ip from dhcp configured on switch....my wory is guest would be able to connect as there dhcp is adsl router and svi will forward there traffic but staff one as bvi1 is not access port and not talking ip address it wont be able to forward credentials to AD....can anyone plz shed some light iam posting configfs from my access and switch....

A native vlan on a trunk port means that only that vlan will not be tagged between the switchport and the device. So you can have different native vlans on each trunk , but only one natvie vlan per trunk. You can tag a frame, but if its comes in to that trunk and the trunk know that ist suppose to be on the native vlan, it will remove the tag. On the other end, the device will retag the vlan since it also is using the native vlan. Both sides must use native vlan

Is there a fix for the MBP wireless dropping issue?

I began to experience the Macbook Pro dropping wireless connectivity on my very 1st Apple in 2008. At the end of the day my machine was replaced with a new Macbook Pro mid 2010. It appeared to be working just fine until about 2-3 months ago when I started dropping my wireless printer connection. I searched the internet hoping for a driver update from HP or something from Apple and each time I found something, the problem still existed. I even thought that by upgrading to Lion would resolve any issues that I have with my MBP wireless connectivity issue. After upgrading to buying a new router, new printer and upgrading to Lion; the wireless dropping issue still remains unresolved! I know there are several hundred in not thousands of people who are having the same problem so what are we supposed to do?
When my 1st MBP was replaced in 2010 I had to stop working because I was diagnosed with "Failed Back Surgical Syndrome" and was in the process of applying for disability. Something in the back of my mind said that I needed to purchase Apple Care for this new replacement however I had used all of my savings & retirement to sustain life for me and my family that there was nothing for Apple Care. If it weren't for my church and family I am not sure what I would do during the 18 months of no income while waiting for a decision only to receive an appeal until I findly stood in front of an Administrative Law Judge who heard my case and granted me disability. Besides there was no way I could ask anyone for money to purchase a warranty for a top of the line laptop while the country was falling off an economical cliff.
I broke down and called Apple Support and was told that I qualified for technical assistance regarding the upgrade to Lion a few weeks ago. The tech on the phone had me run some disk utility tests and had me repair permissions which she said could be the cause of the problem. I willingly went along with her in hopes that this was indeed the fix. However, within 10 minutes of hanging up the phone my MBP began to drop it's wireless connection to my new HP printer and also the Internet. Hence my question above is what I am really looking to have answered! What is the fix to this problem that so many people are having issues with? I couldn't afford to purchase Apple Care back in 2010 and I can't afford to purchase a new 2011 machine today if that truly is the fix!
I will be disabled for the remainder of my life and I have grown dependent upon my computer to stay in touch with friends and colleges from work. I worked for the IT Group at Wynn Resorts and I can say that the type of service Appple is providing it's customers is not what I learned over the past 25 years with Mr. Wynn. Why can't Apple get the simple concept that it's customers are it's life line and keeps them in business. I need help and I don't know what to do nor where to turn. It would be different if Apple acknowledged the issue and said they were working on it however they aren't. I plead to Apple to help me fix my notebook so I can stay connected to the outside world vs. couped up inside my home.
Best Regards,
Scott Leavitt

I am simply lookig for some help not an argument. I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts. I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another. As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP. This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue. I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion. In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues. I am able to browse the internet as much as I want. I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems? Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best? BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time. Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. -- Thanks

Wireless connecion issues using a macbook

Hi,
RE: Wireless connecion issues using a macbook
After doing some google searches, I have come to understand that there is a bug with OSX power management when running on battery which impacts the wireless connection of the macbook, though Apple geniuses are unaware of any such issue. Please see: http://kristopherjohnson.blogspot.com/2006/08/macbook-wireless-connection-drops. html and type in "macbook wireless connection problems" in google for many other discussions on this issue.
For all those who are having wireless connection issues with a macbook:
Plug in the macbook to use mains power (not the battery) to verify that you are impacted by the same bug (I even find sometime unable to connect to the router when on battery so have resorted to starting the machine with mains power plugged in). If that is the problem then here is a work around (taken from above blog):
Open the terminal window and type in the following command: ping -i 5 google.com
(this will ping the google domain every 5 seconds and maintain the wireless activity thus a connection).
I am surprised that Apple are not acknowledging this well known and widely reported bug and fixing the issue. In my case, I dont mind plugging the machine into mains most of the time and that has resolved the problem, otherwise I hope the above pinging works for you.
I discovered the workaround after ditching my old DLink router (though it had done its time) and buying an Airport extreme (£120), a trip to the Apple store (40 miles drive), trying several different people's machine on my network (frustration) and finally google to rescue, more specifically Kristopher Johnson's blog.
NOTE: My macbook worked fine in the Apple store while on battery power which was frustrating but apparently the problem only arises when connecting to consumer grade networks and not commercial ones, which I dont understand technically.
HTH

Faisal

you can use but you will not get full screen on HDMI output.
Sometimes width or height of the screen was not completely used by ur mac other then that everything would be good.
You need to buy HDMI Output cable for mac something like this

Pavilion wireless keyboard issues

I have just bought a new Pavilion 500-250ea desktop + Pavilion 22xi monitor. Nice hardware, shame about having to have Windows 8.1 though :-)
The desktop shipped with a wireless mouse and a wireless keyboard (Part No 697345-031). I've spent the last couple of days with all the kit on the desk, setting everything up and transferring all my files etc. All going nicely until I got to the stage where I was able to take my old machine away and put the new one in the space UNDER the desk (wooden top). Now the mouse is erratic and the keyboard often just 'hangs' for a while. Surely the wireless range ought to be better than that and not bothered simply by an intervening desk???? Or is 'deskTOP' meant to be taken literally.....
Also, the keyboard has NO CapsLock or NumLock lights !!! This plays havoc when trying to enter passwords :-( Is there any utility perhaps to display the CapsLock and/or NumLock status on the screen??

Hello Nemo2000,
I have read your post on how your desktop is experiencing erratic control of the wireless keyboard and the mouse with the desktop hidden away, and I would be happy to assist you!
To begin, I recommend moving the desktop to a more open area to test for spacial interference. To expand on this, I suggest following this document on Wireless Printing Common Questions. Under "Wireless Connection Issues" please select "How do I improve a weak signal from my wireless router?" on obstructions.
In regards to the caps and num lock keys, I understand there are no indication lights in the top right-hand corner. On most programs, however, you will be given an indication that the cap locks are on for passwords. A good example of this is when you log onto your computer, it will tell you if the caps lock is on or not.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

ATV2 OFFICIALLY rolled back to 4.2.1 due to wireless N issues

My ATV prompted me to update it an hr ago, I did, and when it came back up, 4.3 was gone and 4.2.1 was there.. I plugged it into itunes and it said it was up to date... I called apple support and they verified that JUST the ATV2 has been rolled back due to Wireless N and other wireless compatability issues.

TallBearNC wrote:
I had 4.3 on my ATV for weeks. it even said 4.3 in the about screen. You do not know what YOU are talking about.
Once my ATV went to 4.3 a few weeks ago, it could no longer connect to my N network until I turned WMM on, and even then it kept dropped off. So I had to switch my router back to A/G mode.
Yes, there WAS.. and if you don't belive me, ill be HAPPY to show you the ATV2 4.3 IPSW I've had sitting on my desktop for weeks
You are wrong. Take my advice and stop now before you embarrass yourself.

I am having wireless connectivity issues with my time capsule

Over the last 3 days my wireless devices have been having issues with connectivity.
Network setup:
Modem - Motorola SB5102 Cable Modem
1 TB Time Capsule 802.11n (second generation)
The devices are approximately 3 feet apart.
Wired Device:
Mac Pro (2008 build) running OSX 10.6.8, Airport Utility 5.6.1
Wireless Devices:
Playstation 3
Macbook Air
iPhone 5c
iPhone 4
I am having issues with internet connectivity. The wireless signal strength is fine as all devices can find the network. However when connected to the network accessing the internet on the Macbook Air, or either iPhone is slow and streaming services such as Netflix cannot connect. I have intermitant connectivity to the Playstation Network on the PS3.
I have wired both the Macbook Air and PS3 directly to the Time Capsule and have no issues, internet is accessible and streaming services are fine.
I have power cycled all the devices (Time Capsule, macbook, iphones, PS3, modem) to no result.
I am looking for any other suggestions that may help me with my wireless connectivity issue.

A Gen2 TC is probably on its last gasp.. and it is well overdue for replacement.
If you want to get more life out of it you normally need to repair or replace the internal power supply.. This is not done by apple or any of their repair centres.
Just do ebay search and you will find sellers with replacement supplies.
Otherwise to test, do a full factory reset..
I would also downgrade the firmware.. 7.5.2 will work just as well for you and has less bugs than 7.6.x firmware.
To downgrade hold down the option key when you select firmware version.
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

WRT54G V3.0 Wireless Speed Issue - ping example

Hello:
I have been having very odd wireless connectivity issues with my router. The issue happens randomly, and from what I can tell, it is not based on interference.
Basically my wireless connection always stalls. Sometimes it quits all together. I get the exact same result weather I am one foot or twenty feet away from the router.
This can clearly be displayed by pinging my device:

(it should be noted that if i plug directly into the router via ethernet I get perfect pings / no stalls like above)
My current Firmware Version is: v4.30.5
Here is what I've tried changing/testing and had the exact same results with:
-Tried every wireless channel- and i've tried wireless G only.
-Reset back to the default firmware/flashed the device/reinstalled everything etc etc- many times
-disabled any wireless security
-turned off all bluetooth devices, wireless phones or cordless phones in the area (no microwaves are running).
If i use another wireless router (i borrowed my AP from work one night), it works perfectly, no issues. This is why I think it may be a hardware issue with my router. (There are other wireless routers in the area, but my testing router from work is just fine with the others).
Is it possible I have a hardware issue with this WRT54G?
If not, what other things can i try?
Thank you for any help you may have.
Happy New Year!

i cannot think of any other settings besides the advanced wireless settings

Iphone/IOS 6 and Enterprise Wireless Networks Issue

Hi there,
Our company runs Cisco wireless using WPA2 Enterprise and AD Authentication. Now we currently have multiple vendor phones/laptops working fine including Apple Macbook Pro's, Apple Iphone 4s, Samsung Galaxy S2/S3 working on the wireless without issue.
However Ive been seeing issues with Iphone 5s and an Ipad now as well running IOS 6 where it just wont connect to the network. I am using Iphone configuration utility to install a Wireless profile with the certificate/AD credentials onto the Apple device.
I just loaded the profile on an Iphone 5 and it worked straight away.
However on ipad and other iphone 5's this is what happened, it associated to the Wireless but never got an IP address so never finishes connecting. just sits on spinning wheel.
Here is some output from the Iphone configuration utility console:

T61 Wireless Connectivity Issue - can not connect with secure wireless sites

I have a T61 using Windows XP. The internal wireless card was factory installed and has not been upgraded.
My home Internet is Comcast high-speed.
When I take my laptop to a coffee shop, business or other location with a secure wireless network that requires a password, I have not been able to log on. I can see the wireless networks available and can click on the appropriate one, but I never get a window/pop-up box/screen in order to allow me to enter the wifi network's user name and password.
Is this a firewall issue, wireless card issue...or?
I can access unsecured wireless networks where a password is not needed.

Hi lisapapp!
One more thing to check: Is your Windows XP up to date? Older XP releases do not support the newer wireless encryption types which are now in common use (WPA, WPA2). Make sure you have SP3.
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

Satellite U940 PSU6VA - Wireless connectivity issues

_*My specifications:*_
*Model:* Toshiba Ultrabook (Satellite U940 PSU6VA-00S002)
*Operating System:* Windows 8.1 x64 (upgraded from Windows 8 x64)
*Wireless adapter:* Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2200
*Wireless adapter driver version:* 15.10.0.12 (which is the latest for my device)
I have had this Ultrabook since February 2013, and throughout that period I have always had wireless connectivity issues, even after performing a factory reset. My wireless icon fluctuates between three states:
* Internet access
* Limited (in which case I cannot connect to the internet or any device on the network)
* Not connected - connections are available (and if I try to make it connect to the network, it will fail)
Sometimes my computer would instantly reach the "Internet access" state upon startup, and would remain in that state. Other times, it would be "Limited" for several minutes after starting up my computer before it finally connected, and even then the connection would drop out every now and then. At the worst, it would remain either "Limited" or "Not connected" indefinitely, no matter how many times I reset my wireless adapter or restarted my computer.
Until recently, I had always thought that these issues occurred randomly. However, I recently noticed that I always have a perfect connection whenever there are no other computers connected wirelessly to my home router, and I always experience issues of varying degrees when there is at least one other computer (or even a smartphone) connected wirelessly to the router. If there is another computer connected to the router via an Ethernet cable, this does not cause any problems; it is only wireless connections that interfere with my computer.
It is only this computer that has these problems; the other computers in my house never experience these issues, no matter how many computers are online. Also, my computer does not only experience these issues with my home router; it has the same issues on my university's wireless network.
My question is, how can I fix this? Is this a known bug, or is my wireless adapter defective? I know I can connect using an Ethernet cable where possible (I never have problems with Ethernet connections), but this is not always possible at university.

I just checked the page you linked to, but it recommends that laptop users obtain their drivers from their OEM rather than from Intel.
I had already checked for driver updates through both Toshiba Service Station and Device Manager (and checked both again just now). Toshiba Service Station tells me that there are no updates available, and Device Manager tells me that "the driver software for your device is up to date".
Should I update to Intel's latest driver anyway? If so, should I also install the Windows 8.1 version of "Intel PROSet/Wireless Wifi Software"?

I have found the WLAN channel setting in Device Manager and I will test it when I get the chance. But how do I change the WLAN standard?

Linksys Wireless Camera issues

When i install my linksys wireless Wvc80n wirelss camera I lose my wireless connection on my laptop to the internet itermittently until I unplug the camera then its back to normal.

That sounds, Most likely, a wireless signa issue.
You can change that in the router. open a browser, and go to http://192.168.1.1
user name is admin. and the password is most likely the serial number found on the service tag of your VZ router unless you changed it. Once you login succesfully, go to the top and hit wireless, then on the left basic security. then go to option 3 which is channel 1, 6 and 11 and are the only channels you should try.
So it will likely be set to auto, change it to 11 and put the check for keep settings even after reboot (Directly under the channel) and then hit apply. after you hit apply, test your connection out, if you notice a difference, leave it like that until the problem happens again, and if it happens again, go back into the router, and try channel 6, test it out. and then finally 1 if the first two don't work.
Also take a look at page 2 of Actiontec's Wireless PDF File. It gives you some idea's with regards to position and orientation of where the router sits and how it can best be positioned for maximum coverage.
http://support.actiontec.com/doc_files/MI424WR_Rev(all)_Wireless_Networking_Guide.pdf
One of the channels (1, 6 & 11) will allow both to function fine.

OfficeJet Pro L7590 - wireless printer issue

Hi,
I have a 2008 OfficeJet Pro L7590 printer. I'm just now trying to get my printer to print wirelessly and I'm having multiple issues. I lost the disk for installation, but downloaded the installation via hp.com/support
After installing it, I tried to connect it wireslessly. On the final step, it says "
Unable to communicate with your printer. Not all diagnostic tests could be performed. Check cable connections and then retry."
I've checked all my cords and everything and they are plugged in correctly! BUT here's the thing. When I go to my start menu, and click control pannel → network and then click on a tab, such as "Network and Sharing Center, Connect to a Netowk, or set up a connection or nework. The window absolutely freezes and I'm not able to click on it at all. Also, I don't see a wireless conection icon on the bottom bar, right corner. (not sure what that's called) All i see are two computer screens and a red X ontop of them (icon)
I really need to connect my printer wirelessly, so I can use my phone, ipads and ipod touches! Please help. I've spent so many hours trying to figure this out!
HP doesn't offer me anymore help because it's out of warrenty

Hello iAliciaa.
I understand you are trying to installing your Officejet L7590 and you are receiving a message indicating "unable to communicate
with your printer". Are you connecting this printer Ethernet or wireless?

HP Photosmart series 7510 wireless printer issue

I have a HP Photosmart series 7510 wireless printer.
My laptop is an HP Pavillion Entertainment PC dv9700.
I am running Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2.
The printer stopped responding when I attempt to print something from the laptop, such as a web page or document. When I print a diagnostic page it goes and responds right away.
Any ideas of what I may try. When I set up a regular print job it just stays in the que and does not print.
Thank in advance.

Hello szwonders,
I am sorry to hear you are having an issue with printing with your Photosmart 7510. Thank you for your information.
I would like to help you.
I recommend Resetting your Printer first, to see if that helps.
Also, I recommend running HP's Print and Scan Doctor for Windows to search the driver and software to see if there are any issues.
Please respond to let me know if this helped or if you have any other questions!
Thanks,

Wireless connection issues

I have read extensively on this problem and it seems others have the same issue, however I will fully document the problem I have here and will also be sending this to apple as a bug report.
I have a Macbook Pro (3.1) running leopard 10.5.4 however these issues have occurred since 10.5.2 from memory, it may have been after an airport update but I wasn't using wireless around the time I updated. The router I have issues with is a Zyxel P660HW-T1, on which I have updated to the latest firmware (which isn't that new). Since an update I cannot connect to the router when using WPA encryption. This includes WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK, on any wireless channel. The console errors when connecting are:
Aug 10 12:33:20 Nicks-Mac kernel[0]: AirPort: Link Up on en1
Aug 10 12:33:27 Nicks-Mac airportd[347]: Error: Apple80211Associate() failed -6

Aug 10 12:33:27 Nicks-Mac SystemUIServer[135]: Error joining BroW: Connection timeout (-6 timeout connecting)
When connecting, the menu bar icon appears connected for a short time and then disconnects and the dialog box reports 'Connection Timeout'. Since this problem occurs I have reformatted the computer, reset the PMU and PRAM, and successfully connected to many other wireless networks using encryption. I have tried connecting to the network using windows in boot camp, and it doesn't work there either so the issue is firmware related. There were no issues before the update.
I have successfully connected to the wireless network using many other devices, including windows and linux computers, and windows mobile devices. Interestingly an iPod Touch exhibits the same problem; it used to work and now doesn't.
While I know buying a new router or Zyxel releasing a firmware update would resolve the issue, I feel that because it works with standard PC devices it is apple that should be resolving this problem as they created it. This router was one of the most popular on the store I bought it from here in the UK, and so it should be a fairly big issue. If the problem has been created due to a security hole in the WPA protocol being plugged, or something similar to this, it is understandable. Official word from Apple is needed on this!

I know, I wasn't hoping for official support or in fact any kind of help, I was posting this more as information for other users. I will be submitting it as a bug report in the hope it will be recognised officially. I don't think there is anything I can do that will resolve this.
As far as the connection goes, if it was truly the router at fault it wouldn't be Apple's problem to fix, as Apple codes their drivers to comply with recognized wireless standards and it isn't Apple's responsibility to write their code to accomodate routers that don't.
As I said it would be understandable if this was caused due to a bug fix in the protocol by apple and I would not expect a fix. That's the information I'm hoping for but doubt I will get. Having said this, think about it from the end users point of view. In terms of 'Just works', Mac 0 PC 1.
That having been said, you know from your experience connecting with other routers that it's not a blanket bug, so the next question would be what's different about your network that is causing these connection failures.
One thing to try is to try removing all known networks from your known networks in your Network preference pane, and add them back.
As I said, this is an issue with Apple devices, and seems to be a firmware and not a software issue. I have reformatted and tried connecting in windows, had the same problem with an iPod touch and a Macbook.

BT home hub 4 wireless connection issue on the Xbo...

Hi all,
It has been flagged to us that there may be an issue when connecting an Xbox 360 to the new BT home hub 4.
As many of you are aware the new BT home hub 4 has dual wireless bands broadcasting in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz range.
It seems that when connecting an Xbox 360 wirelessly to the hub 4, the Xbox will state that there is an error, like the one below.
“There is more than one network in range that has this SSID, please change your router SSID before proceeding”
This issue seems to be due to the fact then when the Xbox scans for the available wireless networks, it sees both SSID's and insists that one of them must be changed in case of a conflict.
This is an Xbox 360 issue and not a hub 4 problem
When Xbox 360 was released some 8 years ago dual band routers were very uncommon; so the Xbox has not been setup to deal with this type of connection.
To correct this issue we have some steps that you can follow so that you can connect to the hub. You will need to log into the BT home hub manager and change the SSID on the 5 GHZ band being broadcasted from the hub.
Steps to do this are as follows…….
Log in to the Hub 4 in the normal manner setting up a new password or using the custom password that has been setup by the customer then navigate to the Advanced Settings
Then select continue to advanced setting
Then select wireless
Then select 5GHZ
After that you will need to change Sync with 2.4 from yes to NO
After this has been done you will then be able to change the SSID of the 5GZ band adding a number or a letter to the end
After all this has been done you will then need to click apply to save the changes
You will now be able to connect the Xbox in the normal way using the default wireless key

Try changing the wireless channel in the hub. Enter 192.168.1.254 then go to wireless switch to manual and try another channel. You can try downloading inssider3 which will show netwrorks and their channels round about you
