Wireless point to point solutions

Hi i have a site where all users and in one building and other building 2 users are there which is 200 meters . They dont want to run fiber as its very expensive . They are looking for some solution like to keep some wireless device in this buld and the other device in the second buld .And some point to point connection .
in cisco is there a solution like point to point (infrared or somrthink )

Troubleshooting wireless point to point

We have a wireless point to point link using two 1310 bridges between our campus and a remote building about 5 blocks away. Recently the link has started to go down often during the day. The following is what I am seeing in the logs:
Feb 10 04:35:04.171: %DOT11-6-DISASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, Deauthenticating
Station 0014.6a5b.34d0 Reason: Previous authentication no longer valid

Feb 10 04:35:42.659: %DOT11-4-MAXRETRIES: Packet to client 0014.6a5b.34d0 reache

From some of the research I have done this is could be due to excessive noise.
Here are some of the stats from the root bridge.

Is there anything I can tweak on the bridges to stabilize the connection? Also, could someone explain what are good and what are bad readings for both signal strength and signal to noise?
Thanks in advance for your help.

SNR - 25 dBm higher is better.
Signal Strength - -65 dBm and lower is better.

Wireless Point to Point

I just wanted to ask if one can configure a wireless point to point link however using IPSec as encryption between the two routers at each end. Any tips or suggestions are appreciated?

Wireless Point at Work

I am trying to use an old bt home hub 2 I have at work as a wireless point. We use a specific set of IP addressess at work to get an internet connection. 192.168.8.1(50-990
How do I configure the home hub 2 to use one of these IP's so we can get internet wirelessly?
I currently have a LAN cable from one of my offices to the maintenance cabin connected to a switch so we can use 2+ laptops at the same time. The IP address on my laptop is 192.168.8.179. My colleagues is 192.168.8.177.
I have taken an old home hub 2 from home to work and I am trying to set it up as a wireless point so I can use my mobile and get on the internet. How do I go about setting up the HH2 as a wireless point using one of the IP's?
Thanks

Be aware, by adding a wireless access point you could be breaking your company IT security policy, and could be dismissed.
Most companies prohibit the connection of unauthorised access points, for security reasons. These can be detected because of their MAC address.

Autonomous Wireless Point-to-Point bridge

I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I am having difficulty finding documenation on hwo to properly configure Cisco 1552e AP's in Autonomous Mode as Point to Point wireless bridges with just utilizing the wireless link as a backhaul, not client access. We have to go with autonomous because we plan on having Local Mode ap's (CAPWAP) terminated behind the MAP ethernet bridged port. Here is our topology:
Local Network (Controller resides on this network) ---------> L2 Switch ----------> RAP --------> wireless bridge <---------- MAP <----------> L2 Switch ----> Clients\CAPWAP AP's (servicing clients)
We want to pass all the VLANs we will need for both the wired network and CAPWAP network.
Thoughts?

This is extremely useful and the exact configuration we are looking to do.
Is there a limit on the number of Bridge-Groups that can be used (essentially number of VLANs)?
Also are you familiar with running Mesh AP's in autonomous mode? Do we lose any features other than management by moving them from CAPWAP to Autonomous?
We have to run these in autonomous because our MAP end will run 3602i local mode APs, so lame that Cisco wont support Capwap over CAPWAP based mesh bridge.

Wireless Point to Point Cisco 1242ag

Hi
Is it possible to set up some sort of authentication where the root bridge and non-root bridge only associate with the opposites MAC address?

Have a look at the link provided. There are ways of adding encryption and passwords to your point-to-point bridge. My recommendation is to go this way. It's alot quicker and easier to maintain.

BR1310 Wireless Point-to-Point Bridge

I recently configured two BR1310 Access Point/Bridges into a Root & Non-Root (without clients) configuration to extend a LAN to another building. I configured the units to use LEAP (Root acting as Radius server), authenticating with Network-EAP w/ WPA2, and AES as the encryption cipher. Being that WPA2/LEAP handle the key management, I had a question regarding best practices. I currently have configured a "dot1x timeout reauth-period" of 300 seconds, in addition a broadcast-key change of the same. I have 4 VLANs trunked over this bridge, and since I have no wireless clients associating with these bridges, I'm assuming I do not need the broadcast-key rotation. The idea is that by forcing a dot1x reauth, a new PTK/PMK will be created every 300 seconds. Is that a recommended practice?
Also, being that I have 4 VLANs trunked across these bridges, is there a way to verify (via debug?) that all VLANs traffic is being encrypted by AES? Obviously when I do a "show dot11 assoc all", only my native VLAN (mgmt) shows as AES, no other VLANs.
Thanks,
Dan

Hello,
it normal that you only see with "sh dot11 ass .." the native vlan. On this vlan (infratstructure) will be realize the authentication and encryption. That means not,
all other vlan,s are not encrypted !! Of course they are, because the vlan,s will be "transport" sequential in the AES encrypted connection. You can by the way see this with a WLAN-ANALYSOR.
The timeouts (reauth-period) not so low I use 10000 sec. It is not mor secure If you so often reauthenticate the session.
A Cisco staff had by my customer configured 40000 sec. A good choice is once per day.

Outdoor wireless point to point design help

I need to extend a wireless signal from one building, to an elevated metal enclosure approximately 310 feet away across a parking lot. The enclosure has 3 metal sides and a metal roof. The front is almost entirely one big picture window. The building across the parking lot from the enclosure that I need the wireless signal to reach from faces the metal back side of the enclosure.
Currently a yagi antenna is mounted on the building roof and is pointed at the enclosure across the parking lot. The antenna is connected to an old 1231 access point inside the building.
This configuration does not work. The signal reaches weakly to the outside of the enclosure, but disappears entirely once inside the enclosure itself. My guess is that the metal back and sides is blocking the signal from the yagi antenna on the roof across the parking lot. Signals from other access points in the neighborhood can be seen inside the box, and I'm guessing those signals get through because they're in line with the big window in the front of the metal box.
How do I get the wireless signal inside of this metal box? If I install another antenna on the roof of the enclosure that will boost the signal to the outside of the structure, but how do I get the signal inside? Even if I place an access point inside the structure and run a cable to the outside antenna, won't the signal itself still be outside?
How do I get the wireless signal from the building across the parking facing the metal rear of this enclosure to reach inside the enclosure?
For those who are wondering - the elevated metal enclosure sits on top of a row of bleachers and looks out over a sports field. It's used by sportscasters to broadcast sporting events and upload game information to a website. That's why they need wireless inside.

How do I get the wireless signal inside of this metal box?
With difficulty.
You need to poke holes under the metal box (to prevent water from coming up to the AP) and stick the antenna OUTSIDE. The metal will act as a reflector.

Adding another wireless point

Hi. Hopefully this is the right place, please advise a better location if not. I'd like to get some advice on how to best implement a new device.
I use a linksys router wrt54g on cable internet with a hard wired printer and a hard wired xbox360 attached to it in an upstairs loft area. The 2 PC's and a laptop connect wirelessly.
Downstairs on the other side of the house I have a directv dvr that has the capability of downloading content from DTV's new on demand service for which I do not have hooked up. It needs to be hard wired.
Hardwiring through the walls is not an option at this point.
We are moving to DSL. What we would like to do is move the router downstairs to the tv with the DTV dvr to hard wire in the DVR directly to the router.
Is a reasonably priced product available that I can hard wire the xbox360 and multifunction printer to and it connects to the router wirelessly in the house? I was told to not do the DTV wirelessly. I was also told the printer, a brother multi function 5440 does not like print servers if that matters.
Thanks for any help, it would be much appreciated!

Assuming that the range is not too far for wireless, you could setup your system like this:
modem-WRT54G ))) wireless bridge - Xbox, printer, etc.
                       |       ))) wireless computer(s)
                       |
                DTV dvr
For a wireless bridge, use A) a WET200 (with or without an SD208 switch), or B) a WET54G with an SD208 switch.
A better alternative might be:
modem-WRT54G-PLE200 *** PLE200-switch- Xbox, printer
                      |     ))) wireless computer(s)
                      |
                 DTV dvr
Note that one PLK200 = two PLE200.
This would give you a 100 Mbps powerline connection to your Xbox and printer, which, for some Internet games, would give you much better game play than a wireless connection. Switch= SD208.
A third alternative is this
Leave your current system setup as it. Connect a PLE200 to your WRT54G. Connect another PLE200 to the DTV dvr. This should give you the equivalent of a wired connection between the DTV dvr and your WRT54G.

Difference between "access point solution" and "hot spot solution"

Hi to all, i'm Fabio.
My customer has a bookshop and wants to allow to his customers access to the internet using wifi connection.
Here in Italy there are a lot of laws and is very hard to create this type of solution without legal permission, authorization and so on.
However, i'm reading some technical website, and lot of them propose solution based on hot spot and not access point.
Now my question my doubts:
-Is there some difference (technical and "conceptual") between hot spot and access point?
-How are the law outside Italy, in order to satisfy this type of request?
You have to think that here, based on the Italy rules, my customer should become a telecommunication operator to allow him to install ten access point for public use!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Fabio Marino.

Ok Surendrea, in this case i post here what you have to translate from my link

"Quali soluzioni tecnologiche possono essere adottate per tutelarsi in questo senso? Una esaustiva risposta a tale domanda viene data in questo articolo di 01Net.it. Possiamo sintetizzarne i concetti. I gestori dovrebbero preferire soluzioni di tipo hotspot, invece che access point. Questi ultimi infatti hanno la funzionalità basilare di diffusione del segnale, senza però poter tracciare l'autore di eventuali attività illecite, in quanto non esiste distinzione tra gli utenti collegati e non rimane traccia del traffico prodotto. Gli hotspot, invece, permettono di far autenticare con username e password univoci ciascun utente, e quindi rintracciarlo in caso di necessità, gestire ticket di navigazione, gestire la banda in modo che un singolo utente non la monopolizzi rallentando o intasando la navigazione altrui, separare la rete personale/aziendale da quella del Wi-Fi pubblico, e mantenere traccia di tutto il traffico attraverso i file di log (i registri degli accessi). Ecco la soluzione ideale che consente all'esercente di dimostrare di non essere l'autore di attività illecite."
English version:
"What technological solutions can be adopted to protect themselves in this way? An exhaustive answer to this question is given in this article 01Net.it. We can summarize the concepts. managers should prefer solutions like hotspots, rather than access point. These in fact have the basic functionality of spreading the signal, without being able to trace the perpetrators of any illegal activities, as there is no distinction between connected users, and no trace of the traffic generated. hotspots, however, allow to authenticate with username and passwords each user, and then track it down if needed, manage navigation tickets, manage bandwidth so that a single user does not monopolize the slowing or clogging the navigation of another, separate network and personal business than that of Wi-Fi public, and keep track of all traffic through the log files (access logs). This is the perfect solution that allows operator to demonstrate that it is not the author of any illegal activity."

Macbook Pro/linksys wrt54g slow wireless/wired network connection solution.

I was pulling my hair out looking for a solution for this and it did not seem anyone had too much luck here. Hopefully this will help you all...
Setup:
- Macbook Pro, Mac mini, 2 windows boxes (not mine), 1 linux box
- Linksys WRT54G v6 with dd-wrt installed. This solution should work with the standard WRT54G firmware.
Symtoms:
- All other computers performed fast on internet speed tests and on network transfers.
- Macbook Pro Internet connection was slow (40KB/s on both the wired and wireless network using wpa)
- Macbook Pro internal connection was slow (2MB/s on both the wired and wireless network using wpa)
Things I tried to resolve this:
- Disable IP v6 (no effect)
- Set DNS Servers field to the dns servers as reported by the router. (Increased the initial speed but this quickly decreased making it useless... not to mention impractical)
Thing that resolved my issue.
- Disabled STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) on the router. In the DD-WRT it is towards the top of the Setup tab. I'm not sure where it is on the default firmware sorry.
Hope this helps someone

Darin,
You're right - there are a lot of issues about MBP WiFi. I think there's a major problem with it.
If there was a ..."major problem with it" you would see more complaints than wifi just being among the top 10 discussion items in a trouble shooting forum. There are millions of MBP users many of whom, like myself, use wifi every day without issue.
Your statement "They exchanged it for a new machine. Worked fine in the store - but when I got it home, I was still getting very slow speeds." would lead one to suspect maybe interference from some source or a configuration issue rather than a "major problem".
You probably already tried changing the channel, resetting your router, changing the security scheme, elimination possible sources of interference, separating your components (router, computer, external monitor, ...), etc. but maybe starting over with a default configuration will help isolate the problem.

Officejet pro 8500 a909g wireless will not open solution center saying device install not complete

Operating system is Windows 7 64-bit. When I try to open Solution Center I get a black window saying "HP Solution Center cannot run because your device installation is not complete." My printer is wireless so there is no USB so I unplugged the printer, removed the printer, rebooted, went to Print Server Properties then Driver and removed the driver still there. Then I downloaded the HP Full Software and Driver for my printer and got a "successful install". Then I plugged the printer in, added the printer, and still have the same error. Any suggestions?

What brand of computer do you have? I'm asking because I think you need a L3 uninstall, but if you have an HP computer, it can remove things the computer needs to run and cause the whole system to crash.

When I put the installation disk in to remedy the problem, it tells me that my present software is the latest so it won't update.

Hi,
Try these:
Click Start Menu icon>Programs>HP>HP Photosmart c309a>Add a Device
With this, it will find the wireless printer and reconfigure the settings; simply follow the prompts. After completion, try to reopen HP Solution Center.

ITunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from an external drive (or streamed from other wireless devices). Any solution in sight?

Video streaming of DRM movies, purchased from iTunes and other vendors, to any iOS device is not working.

I am not sure if you really understand the issue at hand. Possibly that you are just scanning, not reading the whole text, or simply that you just want to close a thread with your last words or derail it for whatever strange reason. So far you have been more destructive than helpful, but again this could be ignorance at best.
If you would have had the decency to read the entire thread you would have come to the conclusion that every manufacturer, I came across, has posted FAQ's to this issue but Apple. Find a short excerpt below:

Point to point wireless using 1310 and 1231 on each site

Hi,
I have an implementation right now with wireless point to point bridging connection. I installed a 1310 with 24 dBi external antenna on one site and a 1231 AP/bridge with 24 dBi antenna on the other site. Has anyone of you tried this set-up. I have no problem with the connection and pinging is ok. However when I tested the throughput I only got 2Mbps in which the distance between the two sites is only 2 kms. I am hoping to have a throughput about 20 Mbps and up.

When you configure the AP radio, you must consider the type of clients that are present in the wireless network. If the AP has an 802.11g radio and the WLAN has only 802.11g clients, you can set one or more data rates to Basic and all other data rates to Enabled However, if you have a mixed environment of both 802.11b and 802.11g clients in a WLAN network, you must ensure that only the rates that 802.11b supports are set to Basic (or Require in GUI). If data rates that the 802.11b radio does not support (such as 12 Mbps) are set to Basic on the AP radio, the 802.11b clients are not able to associate to the AP.
Alternatively, you can configure the AP radio to select data rates on the basis of range or throughput. When you configure the AP radio to select data rates for range, the AP sets the lowest data rate to Basic and the other rates to Enabled. In this way, the AP can cover a wider area. However, the data rate comes down as the distance from the AP to the client increases. If you configure the AP radio for throughput, the AP sets all data rates to Basic. This configuration ensures a consistent throughput throughout the coverage area.
