Wireless bridge using 802.1N technology

Hope you can help me here folks, I have configured a wireless bridge using 2 x AIR-SAP2602E-E-K9 over a distacne of about 80 metres.
This is working well at speeds up to 54Mb, however I was hoping to reach over 200Mb using 802.1N technology, would appreciate guidance on this.
Attached are the configurations - how do I configure to start using 'N' speeds over the wireless bridge?
Kind regards
Dave Bell

Use 5GHz (Radio 1) instead of 2.4GHz (Radio 0) to have better throughput. In that band you can bond two 20MHz channel to give higher throughput.
With the current config since you already have WPA2/AES, no additional config required to enable 802.11n data rates.

I need to bridge a printer off a wireless bridge using a 4402 WLAN Controller

I need to bridge a printer off a wireless bridge using a 4402 WLAN Controller. Would I need to make any changes on the 4402 WLAN Controller?

One options is to take a cisco autonmous access point and configure it as a WGB. And no, you would not have to do anything special to the WLC in thay deisgn. The WGB would act as a wireless client.
Make sense?

Building wireless bridge using e3000 and wrt160n with wap54g as acess point between two

I recently purchased an e3000 router and would like to setup my old wrt160n nextdoor for my brother to access my network for Xbox 360 and internet. How do I set up the wrt160n so that he can access my network? I have a wap54g that worked great with his computer and wireless nic card with antenna. With the Xbox 360 added he needs a router to connect both. Will reconfiguring the wrt160n work if so how do you do it? Everything else in my home is hard wired except a printer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have tried setting this wireless network bridge as suggested by oook and It doesn't work. Would anyone have any suggestion as to how to do this. every diagram that I have seen shows a connection such as this being done between two WAPs. Since the WAP I currently have is rather difficult to find. I would like To know which of these Items would be The best to go with to do what I want to do. The WAP610n or the WET610n or a combination of both? From What little info I have been able to find the WET610n will expand the range of my e3000 into other areas of a home. Will this do it For a wireless bridge between to homes that are about 500 feet apart? Is the WAP610 the better product since it is a WAP? I am getting very frustrated with this. I think I need to boost the signal from my end and be able to capture it at the other end. Just not sure how to do this without having to invest hundreds of dollars to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated as well as any reply to this post.

1242 Bridging using 802.11b/g

Can I create a bridge link with 1242s using the 802.11b/g radios?

I am interested in this topic also, have you gotten any response yet srgaskil1?
I have LWAPP 1242's and would like to use two of them to bridge between two buildings which are about 500 - 600 ft. apart.

SA520W & AP541N /AP1252 Wireless bridging

here's our current setup
50Mbps Docsis 3.0 cable -->ASA5505 -->SMC 802.11n bridge --->Cisco AP1252 -->2960G 8 port - with a 24 port unmanaged daisychained to it ...right now clients only connect on the 5ghz only using MSRADIUS PEAP to MSFT WIN2008V2 Domain & Wireless bridge is WPA2-PSK on 2.4GHZ
obviously not the best setup... some things are monitored with CNA others ASDM
can the 520W wireless bridge using WPA2-PSK (or MS Radius PEAP) to either an AP1252 or an AP541N
we are thinking of UPGRADING .. to the following setup
Cable modem --->SA520W --->AP541N -->ESW540-24P-K9 (or use the AP1252 Dual Radio's Instead of the AP541N... would the AP1252support Standard POE with this ESW switch ? or require MCS be turned down in power to support both radios.?. or just be able to use a single Radio? as we were told a 3750G switch would be needed for full 18.5W POE
instead of using 2.4ghz for the bridge & 5ghz for the clients.. (since the AP541N only support 2.4 or 5GHZ switchable not both) can both the clients & bridge all use MS Radius PEAP to Win2008 PDC or would we be forced to use WPA2-PSK with the SA520W & AP541N solution
can this all be managed using a single tool...? and if so what are the differances between CCA & CNA as they basically appear to do the same thing?
our other thoughts were an intergrated router with Cable modem 802.11N & Gigabit in a single box.
we looked at the 1941W problem is it doesn't support a Docsis 3.0 HWIC (only Docsis 2.0) but we could have an IPS Module + Gigabyte switch card.. for a "single box solution.." but the cost was too expensive for a small business..
thanks again for your assistance as Cisco appears to have many overlapping products.

Wireless Bridging between two 1242 AP's

Hello All,
I have a trailer at a client that I'am trying to connect to the main building via a wireless bridge using two 1242 AP's. I'am trunking on the connection to each AP using dot1q. I don't mind all the vlans going to the trailer so I'am not limiting the vlans. What do I have to do on the AP's to get this to work exactly? Are there any guides on this? thanks
Jason

Hi Jason,
If you're unfamiliar with the CLI, you should probably use the GUI. Here's what's needed to establish a bridge link between two APs:
1. Only one SSID is needed, regardless of the number of VLANs
2. The SSID should be placed in the native VLAN (as only one VLAN can be associate to an SSID)
3. Encryption for the link should be attached to the native VLAN
4. The SSID should be configured for infrastructure mode only
5. Every other VLAN should be created, but not assigned to anything.
6. The radio role/mode must be set to root bridge on side and non-root bridge on the other side
The critical realization is that only one SSID is used. It's perhaps what's most confusing about bridges. To my knowledge, you need to configure every VLAN you want to traverse the link. I do not know of any way to simply allow all VLANs.
Also, know that the channel can be set on the root side (and should be hard set to channel 1, 6, or 11 if using 2.4GHz), but you cannot configure the channel on the non-root. This is because the non-root scans all channels and matches to the root.
Let me know if you need assistance with any of this. I or someone else on the boards would be glad to help.

E3200 as wireless bridge.

Hello Cisco Home Community,
I rrecently bought an E3200 to replace my failing WRT54G. ( RIP )
Anyways, my current set up works great but I will be returning home to live with my parent for the summer since my school lease is up.
My set up:
Laptop (wireless n)
Desktop (wireless b/g/n)
Xbox 360 (wireless n)
Pioneer's VSX-1012-K Reciever (Built in airplay but is wired only)
I would like to set up a wireless bridge using the E3200 but can't quite figure out how to do so.
Also, is anyone able to provide insight to if I will be able to use AirPlay if im hooked up to my parents wireless network and the reciever is wired to the bridge?
Thanks you in advanced!

Define wireless bridge. From what you write it's unclear if you really mean a wireless bridge.
A wireless bridge links two wired segments through a wireless link.
If you want toe E3200 to connect wirelessly to your parents wireless router then it's not possible. But your old WRT54G wouldn't do that either. You must run an ethernet cable to use the E3200 as wireless access point.
Also remember, that even if you could configure the E3200 as wireless bridge it wouldn't really help you because then the E3200 is a wireless bridge and no access point anymore, i.e. you could not connect your wireless devices to your E3200. You would still need to get another wireless access point to connect to the bridge to accept wireless connections...

Using the Mac as a wireless Bridge for the Xbox 360

Want to use your Mac essentially as a wireless adapter for an Xbox 360 or any console? plug in the ethernet cable between the two devices and follow the setup process!
Wireless Bridge setup process
1. Open system Preferences.
2. Clisk sharing, then the internet tab and select Airport as the “share your connection from” then select the Built-in Ethernet in the list.
3. Open up the terminal Application and type ifconfig en0 in the window it sohuld display an outcome like this
ifconfig en0
en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.2.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255
ether 00:16:cb:cc:80:aa
media: autoselect status: inactive
supported media: autoselect 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,flow-control> 100baseTX <half-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 100baseTX <full-duplex,flow-control> 1000baseT <full-duplex> 1000baseT <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 1000baseT <full-duplex,flow-control> none
4. This gives you the information of what your computer’s IP address is. On the xbox dashboard in the network setup screen select manual and select the top section which contains the IP address, subnet mask, and Gateway address, for the IP address, input the Highlighted section above plus one, so its 192.168.2.1 (this is for standard configurations, again, just add one to the last digit of your IP address.
5. Open Airport Admin Utility, the select configure on your airport. Then select the Internet tab This will give you your subnet Mask, input accordingly.
6. For the Gateway address, you are going to put in the value in the blue box. This is because you are using your Computer as a gateway, therefor you need to tap into its connection.
So For the Average setup you will use:
IP Address: 192.168.2.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway Address: 192.168.2.1
7. Now for the DNS server, this varies according to What internet service you have, but, Airport admin utility provides the answer, right below the information we used above, you will see DNS Server. viola! Put that in as your primary DNS server in the second box of edit options in the network menu.
Now you should be complete, test the connection and you should be Ready to Go!! Happy Gaming!

Welcome to the discussions, DanSwiggsD!
If you have a non-Apple device as your main router, unfortunately the AirPort Extreme has almost no chance of compatibility with your main router.
If you do have an Apple router as your main device, please post back with your model number and we'll let you know how your devices should be configured.
If you don't have an Apple device as your main router you have a few options to connect the xbox:
1) A pair of ethernet powerline adapters could be used if you did not want to run a regular ethernet cable from your main router to the xbox.
2) The new AirPort Express 802.11n model does have a feature called Proxy STA which should allow it to receive a wireless signal from any wireless router and allow the ethernet port to be enabled.

Can't connect to internet on tv using wireless bridge

I configured my linksys wireless bridge to be able to connect to the internet on my TV. I am wondering if I have some connections or ports or something on my airport router that aren't right. I've called Direct TV, Linksys, and now, my last hope is that it is something with my airport settings. HELP Anyone?

Is there any 802.11n wireless bridge or some bridge throughput close to 100M?

Hi All,
I'm looking for some enterprise wireless bridge. Is there any cisco 802.11n wireless bridge on the market? or some bridge close to 100Mbps throughput? Thanks.
Lou

Hi;
I'm investigating the exact same thing. After seeing the caveat in the 1250 install guide that said "Don't use it as a bridge!" (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/1250/installation/guide/125h_c1.html) , I called the Cisco WiFi sales engineer assigned to our region, the brilliant and lovely Ms. K.
She clarified some items for me.
802.11n relies on several things for increased speed, two of which are multiple spacial data streams (currently two) and the 40MHz increased channel width. When you do point-point, apparently there is just not as much multipoint benefit. She said we would be lucky to see more than 50 Mbps real throughput on a bridge using 1252s at 100m range. BTW, she said that even though the install guide says the 1252s could not be used in bridge mode, she thought it would work; perhaps the 2007 guide is outdated.
So, we are going to get some antennas and test this. Will try to report back on the results.
Regarding Exalt, she did confirm that at present Cisco is re-branding and selling them as OEM and support would be direct through Exalt, not TAC. She would not speculate on looming acqusitions, but did jokingly observe that in the past, all the companies that Cisco absorbed went through an OEM re-sell phase ;p

VoIP over Wireless (bridges/802.11b) Connection

Hi,
I have 2 sites with Voice-enabled routers installed. They are connected to PBX in both sites.
These sites are connected to each other via a 2.4Ghz 802.11b wireless connection using Aironet 350 bridges.
The link is currently used to carry voice only (no data traffic transmitted over the link).
Connection is operating at 11Mbps but configured to fallback to lower speed in case it is needed. Statistics show that connection is operating at 11Mbps for the majority of the time.
Same connection had previously been tested with data traffic and no problem was noticed.
The problem is that when more than 5 simultaneous voice calls (Codec is G729) are transmitted over the link, the voice quality gets degraded.
We have also tried to use the same link for Voice and Data at the same time, we have also noticed that at the 6th call, the quality gets degraded (i.e. with and without data being trasmitted on link at the same time as voice, we are getting choppy voice quality starting the 6th call).
Thanx

You can try using a voice codec which consumes less bandwidth or enable cRTP to reduce bandwidth consumption .

How do i use wrt55ag + wap55ag as a wireless bridge?

i hope this can be done. i've been searching the forums, but don't seem to have found what i'm looking for. i have a wrt55ag v2 w/1.79 firmware. this is connected to the modem for the internet and has the network on this floor connected. i now need to add a network on another floor. there isn't a way to wire it to here. i was under the impression that a wap55ag would do the trick. however after getting it (wap55ag v2 firmware 1.1), i cannot get the two to talk to each other. the wap is using an address withing the router's range. wireless-a settings are the same on both devices. wap is set for static ip addresses. default gateway is set for the ip of the wireless router. i've tried making the ssid the same and different for the devices. still no connection between the two. since i recently purchased the wap, it can go back. so the primary thing would be making the 2nd network connect wirelessly to the wrt55ag.
any help would be appreciated.
well, you go have fun with that.

hi...if you want to use the AP as a wireless bridge it would only work with another AP...if you want it to use it in wireless repeater mode , it would work with either wrt55ag or wap55ag ..

Can I use a WRT54GX2 as wireless bridge for my Blue Ray to an E1000 wireless router?

I recently replaced my WRT54GX2 router with an E1000 for networking in my home. I now have a Blu-Ray disk player, and thought I may be able to use the old WRT54GX2 to wirelessly bridge a network connection for the Blu-Ray. I am having trouble fignuring out how to configure it, if possible at all. Any help would be appreciated

A WRT and a E1000 are wireless routers, i.e. router with an integrated wireless access points. They accept client connections. They don't connect to other access points. They always require a wired connection to your main network.
Running a wire is the best solution anyway, in particular for video streaming and similar.

Need Help using WRT54GL as Wireless Bridge for Xbox

Hi.
I need help configuring my WRT54GL as a wireless bridge for my xbox.
I have a Billion BiPAC 7404VGO currently in service as my main router/modem. i.e. I have my ADSL connection and PC connected to this. I also connect to this with a laptop.
I have an original xbox at the other end of the house (cat5 NOT an option).
Basically I want to connect my xbox to the rest of network. I have a WRT54GL I can use for this. I just dont know how to set it up.
The WRT54GL has Firmware Version: v4.30.7 (out of the box).
My Wireless network is using WPA.
I have a VPN setup through to work via the Billion.
The idea is to stream media from my PC to the xbox (media centre).
Any help would be HUGELY appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

A wireless router is a device which requires its own wired internet connection. A wireless router is not a wireless access point like the Linksys WAPs. A wireless router does not connect wireless to other wireless routers/APs with standard Linksys firmware. With Linksys firmware you need a WAP54G or similar. The WAPs support wireless bridging and repeater mode.
If you already have a WRT54GL then you have to install a 3rd party firmware which adds wireless bridging capabilities. Read the wikipedia article on "WRT54G" for information about which WRT models support 3rd party firmware and an overview of projects and links.
Remember, however, that you may brick your router if you install a 3rd party firmware incorrectly and you probably void the warranty if you install 3rd party firmware (it is even possible to find out after you restore the original Linksys firmware if you don't clear the NVRAM before).
