Wireless sporatically stop. List your access point please.

After some testing I have come to the conclusion that this problem is access point dependent. Not by brand but by model. So in an effort to try and determine the common denomenator could you please list your access point (Model/Brand), what type of encryption, if your channel is set to auto, what version of Mac OS 10 you are running, and if works or not.
I will keep a compiled list at: http://bluefixed.com/random/waps.html

The connection between your access point, router, or cable modem and the Internet is broken.

At random points throughout my laptop usage, I randomly disconnect from the internet and receive these 2 messages:
1. The connection between your access point, router, or cable modem and the Internet is broken.
2. The default gateway is not available.
It fixes the issue for a short period of time, but constantly happens. This is really starting to annoy me. I have no problems on any other internet, and other people i live with are connected with no issues to the internet. I have tried a number of solutions
online that has "worked" for others to no success such as resetting the router, fooling around with command prompt, and changing the performance settings to not drop internet when low on power. Does anyone have a solution for my technical problems?
I am running Windows 8.1 on a Lenovo ideapad that is less than a year old. I will be honest I am not a very knowledgeable person when it comes to computers, so please use simplified explanations.

Checked this ?

ISE deployment in wireless infra without WLC (only Access Point 1240AG)

Hello All,
I am having access point 1240AG and planning to deploy ISE as a exteral radius server. I would like to know how deifferent authorization policy need to configure in AP/ISE. Whether I can use named ACL or VLANs (CoA) as a enforcement types without use of WLC. If yes then how?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can perform COA on standalone APs you will need to have an inline posture node in order to reap the benefits of COA, you may have heard this from any vpn related deployments. If you are in the design phase of this project, you may want to purse controllers because the latest rumor is that the inline posture node may be dropped since Cisco is planning on supporting coa on all their devices once the 9.x code drops for the ASAs. However please contact your Cisco rep for an official response.
Here is the footnote in the following link: "Autonomous AP deployments (no WLC) also require deployment of an Inline Posture Node for posture support."

Locating failed wireless login attempts and which access point they're hitting

We have a cisco 5508 WLC with about 190 access points. They use Cisco Secure ACS to authenticate Microsoft Active Directory logins. We sometimes get non-normal accounts attempting to login to our wireless but are unable to figure out which access point they're hitting.
When I look at the failed attempts in our Cisco Secure ACS 5.5 Radius Authentications report, I don't see an IP address, just the MAC address of the failing device. Is their a way to configure either the WLC or the ACS box to report either the IP address or MAC address of the access point they're connecting to?

Is this something I need to set the ACS or WLC to send? When I go to Other attributes in the "Authentications - RADIUS - Today" report, this is all I'm currently seeing.
Other Attributes:
ACSVersion=acs-5.5.0.46-B.723
ConfigVersionId=3
DetailedInfo=Invalid username or password specified, Retry is allowed

Third Party Signal Repeaters/Wireless Extenders for Boosting Cisco Access Points Indoors

We are have some buildings that have access points (Cisco 2602e with 6dBi Terrawave omni antennas) in the hallways, in which the clients residing in rooms aren't receiving a strong enough signal to connect at suitable rates. The main reason for this is the large thick doors utilized for the client rooms reducing the strength of the signal, and we weren't authorized to place APs inside the rooms. Nor are we able to modify the structure of the building, such as changing the doors. We can't ask or expect the clients to keep their doors open to rcv a stronger signal. I've tweaked the Tx power for the APs, and lowered the mandatory rates on the WLC for this location under the RF profile created for it, but this isn't resolving the issue with the weak signal.
One band aid solution idea was to place signal repeaters (low profile) inside each room, behind the wall/door area facing the hallway. I've seen a few third party products online, but they seem to only come in support of the 2.4GHz band. If this is a feasible solution, then it looks like we wouldn't be able to support clients on the 5GHz band on our AP, as clients would most likely connect to the 2.4 GHz band due to a stronger signal, limiting our load balancing on the AP. Anyone have experience with using signal repeaters that work properly with Cisco APs.
Not the ideal situation, but have the hands strapped on what we can do.

If you've got a WLC, then disable TPC and crank up the power to full.

WRT54G-on't see router in list of access points

Hello everyone, hopefully someone on here can help me out. I recently had to reset my router, and now, when my laptop searches for wireless networks, my router isn't showing up on the list. I can access the routers setup screen, and I remember when I first got this router, the same thing happened and A friend of mine did something to one of the settings in the router so that I can connect to it wirelessly. Any help is appreciated!

try changing the wireless channel

Windows 7 or 8 shows the wireless client connected to the access point but the wireless icon displays "No connection to the internet

I have seen the same issue working with a different vendors wireless solution. When I sniffed the air with OmniPeek and the network the ap was on with WireShark, I see the arp request for the gateway go to the router, the reply from
the gateway router is sent out to the suspect machine in the air, the PC ack's the packet but never populates the arp cache. I have looked at both arp responses in a working vs failing scenario, both packets are the same.
The only way I have been able to resolve it was to disable IP Helper (start up too) from Services, reboot the machine. I was seeing 3 to 4 drops per day but since disabling this Service the machines I have been testing with have not seen the
issue again.
IP Helper:
Provides tunnel connectivity using IPv6 transition technologies (6to4, ISATAP, Port Proxy, and Teredo), and IP-HTTPS. If this service is stopped, the computer will not have the enhanced connectivity benefits that these technologies offer.
Machines Tested and Fixed:
Lenovo E540
Lenovo W540
Acer Aspire One
Dell Latitude E6420
The ip helper service change was made on 40 laptops, a dozen of which would fail in about an hour. So far 0 out of the 40 has seen the issue since making the change and rebooting (rebooting is key after the disable) the laptops. It's
been about 5 days.
Any reason why disabling this Service fixes the issue? With it on I can replicate the issue pretty quickly on a few different machine types so it does not seem to be driver or wireless nic vendor specific. I've checked through the
event viewer logs but nothing seems to be triggered during the time of the issue. Using the troubleshooter or disconnecting from the wireless service will fix the issue for only a short time.

Belkin Wireless G Universal Range Extender/Access Point (F5D7132UK)

Hi
Anyone have experience using AEs with this Belkin product?
I have followed the instructions and the Belkin seems to work as described in the manual BUT after about 5 mins or so 3 out of 4 of my AEs disappear from Airport Admin Util and the corresponding speakers are not available via itunes.
Thanks

Sorted the problem. There was nothing wrong with the Edimax repeater or the printer. I had sited the printer on the shelf under the TV in the conservatory. Above the shelf is a sky box with a 2.4 Gig AV transmitter connected to it (to send Sky TV to the kitchen). Powering off the AV transmitter allowed a connection to the repeater. For info the separation between the AV transmitter and the printer was around 250mm. I have now moved the AV transmitter away from the printer (by connecting it via a scart lead rather than directly to the sky box).
Wireless printer up and running!

The connection between your access point, router, or cable modem and Internet is broken

When I turn on my computer, this problem came out as the title. I don't know why, but it can not connect to the Internet. The Internet is OK, my another computer could connect it. Anyone can solve the problem? Thank you very much!

Hi,
Try to reset the TCP/IP stack go to this article and either click on "Fix it for me" or follow the instructions to fix it yourself:
How to reset TCP/IP by using the NetShell utility
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357
Also you could try to reset winsock to check if it helps.
To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, and in Start Search, type cmd.
2. Right-click the cmd entry that appears in the search results, and then click ‘Run as administrator’. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
3. At the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER:
netsh winsock reset
Then, you should see the following message:
Successfully reset the Winsock Catalog. You must restart the computer in order to complete the reset.
Restart the computer and check if it works fine.

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

How do you remove a manually configured wireless access point on the iphone 4S?

I have manually configured my iPhone 4s to point to a wireless access point that I no longer use. How do I delete it from the list of access points on my iPhone?

You can only "Forget this Network" while actually connected to the network, so ignore iamjeremi's post. Other than restoring your phone as a new device, you can't if you cannot connect to the network anymore.

Radius local server and wireless access points

Hello to all,
I would like to ask a question related to radius server. I have a Allied telesis core switch and i configure the radius server locally, also i configure the port1.0.7 for dot1x and i am using dynamic vlan. If i connect my laptop to port 1.0.7 i can get the correct ip from the dhcp server. If i connect an access point to the same port , how i should configure the dot1x ? for multiple hosts? I know i am using allied telessis but the config is very similar to the cisco: take a look:
(Radius and nas config)
radius-server host 127.0.0.1 key awplus-local-radius-server
aaa authentication dot1x default group radius
aaa authentication auth-web default group radius
crypto pki trustpoint local
crypto pki enroll local
radius-server local
server enable
nas 127.0.0.1 key awplus-local-radius-server
group Andrew
attribute NAS-Identifier andrew
attribute Tunnel-Medium-Type IEEE-802
attribute Tunnel-Private-Group-Id 10
attribute Tunnel-Type VLAN
user andrew encrypted password wh8q0J2oYSn0y4cynksNCqfbaUtRGv/E6JaJrW+s3Zs= group Andrew
(port config)
interface port1.0.7
switchport
switchport mode access
auth-web enable
dot1x port-control auto
auth host-mode multi-supplicant
auth dynamic-vlan-creation
I tried with auth-web and without but no luck. If someone have a sample config how to configure the dot1x to be able to use access point please paste it.
Thanks
Andrew

I'm not sure if the Autonomous APs have the option for AAA Override. On the WLC, I can go into the BSSID, Security, Advanced, and there's a checkbox that I would check to allow a Radius server to send back the VLAN.
I did a little research and it looks like the 1300 may give this option but instead is defined as "VLAN Override". I've found the release notes for 12.3(7)JA5 (not sure what version you're running) that give mention and a link to configuring EAP on page 4: http://www.ciscosystems.ch/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/1300/release/notes/o37ja5rn.pdf
Hope this helps

Bridge to bridge and bridge to access-point via wireless is it possible.

here;s my topology i am trying to configure. i have a router whose ethernet is connected to a bridge.this bridge 1 is connected to a bridge 2 via wireless. now i am trying to connect a access-point via wireless to this bridge2. is it possible for bridge 2 to support connectivity to the bridge1 and the access-point both of them via wireless.
can someone pls help me on this.
waiting for someone to reply.
regards
sebastan

You can set up each radio in the access point for different functionality. Considering the scenario, this can be done by setting up the SSID for the G radio and another SSID for the A radio. Then, set the role in the radio network parameter for the G radio to access point and for the A radio to the root bridge role.
ou can prevent unauthorized users from reconfiguring your access point/bridge and viewing configuration information. Typically, you want network administrators to have access to the access point/bridge while you restrict access to users who connect through a terminal or workstation from within the local network.
To prevent unauthorized access to your access point/bridge, you should configure one of these security features:
Username and password pairs, which are locally stored on the access point/bridge. These pairs authenticate each user before that user can access the access point/bridge. You can also assign a specific privilege level (read only or read/write) to each username and password pair.

Lightweight access-point joined the wireless controller but no radio channels

a customer wireless controller 2106 he use access-point AIR-LAP1252G-E-K9 the access point the leds indicate
etherner and radio is blinking green and status is green.
please help i am in the customer company now

The AP1252 has higher power requirements than some of the Cisco PoE switches provide. Depending on the switch you are plugging them into you will get enough power to power up the device and connect to a controller but not enough to power up the antennas. Options that can work include:
1) Removing one of the antennas if you are not gonig to use it (or as a temporary workaround to get some wireless)
2) Using an external power supply
3) Using an external inline power appliance system that supplies enough power (http://www.microsemi.com/powerdsine/ is one example).
4) Depending on the type of switch you are connecting to you may be able to upgrade code to provide a higher amount of power to the port. For instance, a Catalyst 6500 by default supplies 15.8 watts of power to a port. But if you upgrade the code to 12.2(33)SXH2? I believe you can get 16.8 watts of power and this is enough to bring up both antennas on the AP. But even then you don't have enuf power to run the upper N speeds - I think anything above 72 Mbps is unattainable.
Other AP models such as the 1140 have lower power requirements and may work better for you.

Wireless-G Access Point HELP!

Ok, I currently am running my office with highspeed internet. I have the Internet running into the Router and than into the Wireless Access Point. BUT!, I have 2 intruders! Possibly slowing down my internet speed. I need to know how to setup a password protected lock on the wireless networking!
Thanks,
Ryan
NOTE: I did misplace my installation disc for the Access Point!

simple... you just need to open up the set-up page of the access point. by default the IP adress of your access point is 192.168.1.245
to secure the wireless router, follow these steps: (do it on a hard-wired computer)
open a web browser, type in http://192.168.1.245
username: blank, password: admin
go to wireless tab, change SSID, set channel to 11, then save settings
go to wireless security subtab, enable it, then select a security mode, example WEP 64 bit. in the key 1, type in a 10 digit characters (0-9 , a-f), then save the settings
to connect to a secured wireless network
right click on your wireless network connection icon (commonly a single computer icon, found at the bottom system tray where the clock is located at)
view available wireless network, if the network name(SSID) shows up, connect to it, then type in the exact key. confirm it then connect. once connected, try to go online. and that's it
"a helping hand in a community makes the world a universe"

Wireless sporatically stop. List your access point please.
