Hello,
I configured the wireless connectivity on my Cisco router 877w, but the interface Virtual-Dot11Radio0.10 status is Down Down even though Dot11Radio0.10 is UP UP.
Here is my interface config :

Remove and reconfigure the interface. If this doesnt work Shut the interface and bring up the interface again.

Backing up and restoring wireless configurations

I am getting ready to blow away my iBook and do a fresh install of OS X. I use my iBook in a variety of different areas and have it setup on several WEP and WPA protected networks. Basically, I'd like to be able to backup my wireless configurations and restore them once I reinstall the OS.

I would assume it's the com.apple.airport.plist in you user Library>Preferences folder (network locations/preferences are user specific). Drag it to the desktop and restart Airport. Are your various locations there? No? Then that's it.

Wireless configuration for HP OfficeJet 6500A plus All-In-One printer on Ubuntu 10.04

I have bought a HP OfficeJet 6500A plus All-In-One printer CN557A, which I want to use with ubuntu 10.04 64-bit as a wireless network printer.
Before i bought i checked compatibility on www.hplipopensource.org and www.openprinting.org, and all was in order.
The machine is autodetected and fully functional when connected with a usb cable, but i have not managed to get it to work as a wireless printer.
This is what I did:
I configured the printer on the wireless network (through the printer interface), and it connects. It prints out a "Wireless Network Test Report", and everything works. I can ping to its local ip adress, and access it through the browser. HP eprint also works.
I installed hplip 3.11.10 and dependencies manually. I did this because the default hplip in ubuntu 10.04 did not recognise the device.
I ran 'hp-check', which gave no errors or warnings:

I then ran 'sudo hp-setup', chose the device (which was detected), chose my wireless network, entered the wireless security key. On the configuration results dialog I get two messages:
"Your printer has been succesfully configured on the wireless network. You may now unplug the USB cable"
and
"The Ethernet cable is plugged in which will prevent you from connecting to a wireless network. To connect wirelessly, remove the cable and try again. (VSA000)"
There is no ethernet cable plugged in, so i can't remove it. I unplug the USB cable and click 'finish'. This makes the 'hp-setup'-dialog start over again, and the printer has not been installed.
In the terminal i have the following:

A friendly soul on ubuntuforums pointed out to me, that the wireless configuration is only necessary when the printer is NOT connected to a (W)LAN. So all I really had to do was to configure the printer in the CUPS administation page, and it worked. Problem solved. Silly me.

Renewing wireless configuration

Told by Linksys support I needed to contact my hardware supplier to sort out "renewing my wireless configuration". I see on a internet search that this is a ball of blame that bounces between the wireless people an Microsoft with us users in the middle. Anyone know how to do this?. have wrt54g router and a musb54gsc network adaptor that refuses to recognize the signal at wireless computer. went through all the normal resetting procedures with phone support before they copped out.
Thanks

I think you can verify if its computer by bringing some laptop and trying to connect to your wireless network, if that connects, router is working fine. Adapter or computer is having issue.
You can try to update the drivers of adapter, and see if that helps.
Just latest download drivers from www.linksys.com/download for correct model and version number.
Uninstall old drivers, restart the computer, and install new drivers. And then try to connect to your wireless network.

B110 wireless configuration lost every printer turn off

Every time I turn off the printer, the printer lost the wireless configuration, so I have to reconfigure the wireless network access every turn on, is there a way to save the setup?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I believe this is a bug in the firmware. Make sure your firmware is up to date (Setup > Preferences > Update Product) and wait for a fix.
Until then, just leave the thing on. It goes to sleep and uses very little power (almost the same as when it is turned off).
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Wireless configuration files

Hi Guys, I have a question about wireless configuration files. I have set my wireless up and I am able to get it working. To do this I have to enter the iwconfig command manually.
iwconfig eth2 essid GillisLAN
When I do that and restart the network it works fine. I have read the forum and wiki and have tried many of the suggestions I have found in them. I must be missing something because I cannot get any of the config files to set things up for me. I have posted my the network portion of rc.conf below. I would really like to solve this and need some help.

As far as I know, wpa_supplicant can be setup without encryption.
Here is the Arch wiki page on setting up wpa_supplicant-
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wpa_supplicant
Also take a look here at the WPA supplicant section in the gentoo handbook. It includes helpful examples of different configurations which the Arch documentation doesn't.

Dual wireless configurations

I want to setup two wireless configurations.
1. DHCP
2. Static
At work I have to wireless access points one is DHCP and static. I have tried setting up two different configurations, but they seem to conflict with each other at work/home. Users report that they cannot connect to those two automatically. I then have to make one of them inactive I usually do that to the static because the employees can take home the MacBook Pros/Airs. I also make one inactive because, they reported having trouble connecting at home. Is there a way for both of them to exist "both active"? I cannot give the users admin right,so they cannot change the network settings.

You've done quite a bit of troubleshooting and I don't have much to add, but I wonder what you intend to accomplish with the settings I've highlighted:
*Enabled default host* at: 192.168.1.253
*Enabled NAT Port Mapping Protocol*
iMac:
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP *with manual address*
IP Address: 192.168.1.253
Try un-checking that "enable default host", and don't specify a manual IP address for your iMac unless you have a good reason.
I would suggest you configure the iMac the same way as your MBP:
MacBook Pros:
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP

Claer Wireless configuration - Laserjet CP1525nw

I had to replace a router in a home of a neighbor, they previously had the subject printer connected wirelessly. The new router forced me to change the passphrase for the wireless connection from what was previously used. The same SSID IS being used on the new router. I have tried all attempts to reset the network settings on the printer and whenever I do and then repeat the wireless setup, be it by WPS, PIN or CD-ROM and USB cable, in ALL cases the connection fails and in best cases says security passphrase is wrong or in worst cases that the printer does NOT see the CORRECT wireless network. The oddest part, apart from the total lack of a solution on the HP forums, or even in the manuals, is that the printer keeps picking up an odd-ball SSID, "HPCP1525-135f8d", mode is ad-hoc and the IP comes up with a "bogus" number which does NOT match any local network, 169.254.123.35. I have seen IP's like this before on PC NIC adapters which cannot connect, I believe this is some kind of internally assigned IP, not from any networking device. That combined with the bogus SSID, I am confident the printer is the source of this BAD configuration data. I have even tried to manually set the IP, using a reserved IP on the router which I set up just for this printer. Still nothing, it fails to connect and collects and saves this bad SSID and IP. How the h*ll do you get the NVRAM of the printer to drop this IP and FORGET that SSID? Do NOT tell me to re-run setup, I have tried multiple times, that may temporarily clear the data, but in re-running the setup it to again collects and SAVES the bad configuration data. My best guess, and another solution which cannot be found ANYWHERE, is how do you do a HARD factory reset on the printer??? I have just about had my fill of the user-friendliness of these HP interface and setup software!!!!! HELP!!!!

I found this on an earlier post and it works for the person. You have to first connect the printer with a ethernet cable to your network router as there should be ports available and then follow the instructions below: The No-Bull**bleep** Way To Setup Your HP CP1525nw For Wireless Printing Connect the printer to your router via ethernet cable.At this point you might need to navigate via the LCD and printer buttons to the Network setup. It’s a simple menu tree that you navigate via clicking the arrow buttons and clicking OK. Just connect via Ethernet and use DHCP. It should connect itself to your network.Once the printer connects to your network it will display its IP address on the printer’s built-in LCD screen.Enter that IP address into a web browser on a computer that is on the same network. After you click enter you will be presented with a web-based administration interface for your printer.Click on the “Networking” tab.Click on “Wireless Configuration” on the left-hand options.Status should be “ON”
Configuration Method should be “Join an existing network”.
Network Name should present a list of available networks. Click on yours.
Authentication should be set according to your networkClick APPLY and disconnect the wired connection to the router. The little wireless light on the front of the printer will start blinking as it connects to your router wirelessly. Once the light is solid the printer’s new IP address should be displayed on the built-in LCD display. You should now be able to connect using that ip address.

E4200 Wireless Configuration

I was told my wireless configuration was not correct and it is making my router slow. It is not giving me my true internet speed. I am suppose to be getting 50 mbs and I am only getting around 5 mbs. Can anyone give me some help in improving my wireless configuration. When I connect a cat 5 cable to the router it works just great, only when it is wireless does it slow down. Any help for this veteran would be appreciated.
Thanks

Router Placement
Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

E2500 constant connectivity failures when secure wireless configured

My E2500 constantly drops connectivity (wired and wireless) when secure wireless is configured through the Linksys Connect software. The problem doesn't happen if the router is left unsecured.
Router Firmware: 3.0.00 build 6.
ISP: Comcast cable
Cable modem model UBEE D3.0
I use a mix of wired and wireless - the PCs are wired and the tablets and phones use wireless connections. The laptop uses wired at the desk and wireless elsewhere.
When I first got the router and used Linksys Connect to configure, the connection was moderately stable for about a week, then started dropping frequently. Recycling the modem and resetting the router to factory defaults stabilized the connection.
Today I re-ran the Linksys Connect software to configure secure wireless for my wireless devices, and the intermittent connectivity problem came back immediately - I couldn't get more than a minute or two online without the connection dropping out.
I don't like running without secured wireless connection, but I don't see an alternative.

Router Placement
Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

Getting Started with Wireless: Wireless configuration on 877W router - STUC

Just letting you know that I've already posted an identical post under "Getting Started with Wireless" but don't feel that I'm getting any attention so I made another post. Thank you.
Hi all
I have a Cisco 877W router running IOS v 12.4(15)T3. Have been trying to configure wireless to run WPA-PSK and is stuck at the final stage. Spent a lot of time configuring the router using CLI but ended up using the Web GUI interface. I was able to configure the wireless settings (I think) but failed when connecting to the router from WinXP-SP2 and was wondering if you have any suggestion for me. I've ran the following debugs on the router:
VNRouter#sho debug
DHCP server event debugging is on.
dot11:
802.1X module WPA/WPA-PSK/CCKM key management debugging is on
dot11 Syslog debugging is on
Below is the error message when connecting wirelessly
*Mar 4 18:46:25.655: *** Not encrypted dot1x packet from 001b.771a.dbad has been discarded

I've created two VLANs (and tied these two vlans to 2 separate SSID) on this router for a reason and so far has not been able to connect to any of them (SSID). I've also attached the config so you can have a look. Thanks in advance for your help.

The configuration looks fine. In most cases, the connectivity issues with WPA-PSK is due to the mismatch in PSK on the Client and the AP. Try re-entering the PSK key on both the router and the client and check if you are seeing any issues.

Wireless Configuration: HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m

I had no difficulty in configuring 27" iMac to communicate wirelessly with HP C309g-m.
Doing the same for Macbook Air has me stymied.
The set up has me go to this page:
http://hpf5e3a5.local./index.htm?cat=network&page=device
Selecting (left sidebar) "Wireless (802.11)", the set up wizard is opened.
http://hpf5e3a5.local./wlSetup.htm
After entering Network Name and WPA password, I click on "finish" and the progress bar proceeds half way... *and no further!*
Am I doing something incorrectly?

Well you can try deleting all the print jobs, then uninstalling the printer from the MBA, restarting the MBA using a SMC reset and then reinstalling the printer in the Print & Fax utility. If that doesn't work you have 3 months of AppleCare, I'd recommend calling them for some help. If you need help on doing a SMC reset the instructions are:
*SMC RESET*
• Shut down the computer.
• Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
• On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
• Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
• Press the power button to turn on the computer.

Trying to understand traffic Flow in a LWAPP wireless configuration.

I'm trying to understand at a high level how wireless traffic flow in the new LWAPP configuration. Based on what I can tell all wireless traffic must flow through the controllers prior to getting onto the LAN.
So lets say I have a LWAPP Access Point off an access switch in a remote closet and my controller is off my core switches. I want to communicate from my wireless PC to a wired PC on this same access switch. The traffic flows from the AP down to the core switch, through the Controller and back up to the access switch to the wired PC.
Is that correct?
If this is true my main concern is supporting APs from a central controller across a low speed WAN. Looks like I would not want to do that...

You're right in your assumption. Data traffic travels from the client to the AP. The AP then encapsulates this data using LWAPP and forwards it to the Controller. The WLC then de-encapsulates (?) it, processes the traffic as necessary and then drops it onto the wired LAN.
So, in your scenario, the wireless client would send data to the AP. This would be encapsulated between the AP and the controller and then sent back again unencapsulated to the wired client.
Regarding using this system over a low speed WAN, there are two ways of doing this.
The first is to use a local WLC at the remote site (e.g. a WLC2006 or the new WLC network module for 2800/3800 ISR routers).
The second is to use AP1030s which are 'Remote Edge Access Points'. These aren't quite as lightweight as the rest of the 1000 Series in that they will bridge local traffic and only encapsulate traffic heading 'off site'. They will also continue to operate if connection back to the WLC is lost (the first WLAN configured on the WLC remains up on the REAP whilst connection to the WLC is lost).
I believe that the recommendation for these is a minimum of 2Mbps WAN connection.

857 Wireless configuration help

Can someone help me with a wireless setup of an 857. I have done this in the past but can't remember the details. Basically I want very simple setup with WPA-PSK. The SDM interface is very confusing and I could do with the basic CLI for this.
Thanks

please see this link for the 857 initial configuration:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps380/products_installation_guide_chapter09186a0080471066.html
this is a step-by-step for SDM and CLI basic configuration.
