WLC recommended version for 802.11n

Hello,
I have to set up a wireless network using 802.11n. I was wondering if the 4.2 version is the best one? Is there any document that tells wich version to use depending on the the configuration we need to set up, for example?

Hello,
Thanks for your replies. I know that I will only be able to manage 1252 with that version, and it is the model of my AP, so it is ok. But I was wondering if I should better use 4.2 or another train of releases. As 802.11n has been released on 9/11, I do not know if 4.2 is the best one.

  • WLC software version for "N"

    Greetings -
    I have a WLC4402 currently running software version 4.2.207.0. With 802.11n just getting officially ratified I was wondering what is the "Cisco-recommended" software version for 802.11n? Should I stay at 4.2.207.0 or move up to 5.x/6.x? I have 1252 access points that are using 3560-E switches for ePoE (20w for powering both the 2.4Ghz and 5 Ghz radios).
    Any information would be greatly appreciated.
    Thx
    Joe

    Thx for the reply.
    I wanted to stay at version 4.2 if I could. Reason being is that 4.2.x has been very stable and reliable for me while I cannot say I have had the same experience with 5.x. If 4.2.x will support 802.11n then I will continue to use it. Being that the ratification was just announced a couple of weeks ago I didn't know if Cisco had version of software that they recommended for 802.11n deployments.
    Thx again for your input.

  • Can anyone recommend a good 802.11n card/usb adaptor for a Windows PC?

    I'm about to buy a new iMac and an Airport Extreme Base Station, and I would like my wife's Windows XP PC to be able to take advantage of 802.11n, as the base station will be in the living room and our office room (where the new iMac and the PC live) gets a terrible reception with 802.11g (thick interior walls being the main problem).
    I've had a look online at various USB/PCI products, but can any of you recommend one that works particularly well with the Airport Extreme?
    Perhaps the Airport Express would be the best solution, as my wife's PC has an ethernet card, plus we also have a USB printer in the office that we'd like to share over the whole house?

    I would agree with that, go SATA if you're an island. That's what the majority of my system is set up with.
    However, I also have a DSR-11 connected via firewire, and I get firewire drives shipped to me by clients, so I need an additional firewire bus. I bought the cheapest fw400 card I could find, and haven't had any issues yet. I think I spent $35 at CompUSA.
    Are there issues that would make me want to buy a better card?

  • AirPort Extreme (802.11n)  - Which draft version of 802.11n does it use?

    When the new AirPort Extreme 802.11n was announced, Apple didn't specifically state which version of the 802.11n draft it was using.
    At the time of the announcement, version 2 of the 802.11n draft had not been submitted yet for approval.
    So my question is what version of the Draft-N spec is it using?
    1.0?
    2.0?

    As I understand it, the big change was going from a single 40 MHz channel to dual 20 MHz channels because some b/g base stations would get confused by 40 MHz channels, causing problems on their networks.
    Here's a link to a Computerworld column about the new draft, which pretty much confirms that it's only a firmware update:

  • AC Adapter for 802.11n Base Station.

    Hi all,
    Does anyone know where I can get a replacement AC adapter for a 802.11n Base Station?

    Yes and they don't sell it separately.

  • Native Aiport cardbus/PCMCIA card for 802.11n

    My wife has a Powerbook. For airport we are using a Microsoft (gasp!) MN-720 cardbus card. This has the same Broadcom chipset in it as an Airport Extreme card and is recognized by the Apple Airport drivers as a native airport extreme card. It works great and no third party drivers were needed. I'm interested if anyone has found a cardbus card that uses the same chipset as Apple does for their 802.11n implementation. The object being of course to have the Apple drivers see it as a native extreme N card. I'm aware of the Quickertek nQuicky cardbus card, but that requires their drivers. I'm looking for something that the Apple drivers will recognize as their own. Thanks ... Perry

    Hardware differences. Core duos don't have the ability to be upgraded to 802.11n via the software update.

  • Flash Air III, how do I set it for 802.11N mode?

    To whom it may concern: My Flash Air III is a very fine device. However…. My wireless receiver is setup for Wireless Mode: 802.11g with a rate of 48Mbps.  Is there a way to set the Flash Air III to transmit in Wireless Mode: 802.11n? I would like to have a faster data rate.

    It's really easy because it's mostly already set up... The AF-On button on the back of the camera already starts and stops AF.
    To set up true BBF technique, you turn off the AF function at the shutter button. I believe it's Custom Function IV, 1:  Opertaion/Others.... where you make button assignments.  Navigate to the shutter button icon and press "set" to enter the options for that... change to the center one "metering start" and press "set" again. Done.
    Optionally you can swap the function of the AF-On and "*" (AE Lock) buttons, using the same button assignment tool.

  • IMAC G5  ethernet port for 802.11n

    Does anyone know if you could get the 1GB ethernet port to work with a new 802.11n Airport Extreme unit ? 540MBS sounds pretty interesting.

    You have posted a question about your G5 Mac in the G4 iMac forum, so it might be getting overlooked.
    You can wire your iMac into the newe AEBS, but the Draft N networking that you are talking about is not available for your Mac. The only Macs that have support for the Draft N standard are the currently shipping Intel units. Even my first gen BlackBook will not support Draft N.
    The ethernet ports on the new AEBS are not gigabit ports either, so while your iMac can connect it will be limited to the 100mbps of standard fast ethernet.
    Unless Apple comes out with an adapter for us, we will be left out.

  • Manual Static LAN IP address for 802.11n Base Station when using PPPoE

    We have a network of about 75 machines. We want to replace our main router with the new Airport Extreme 802.11n base station. WAN connection is PPPoE so we'd use the NAT function. All IP addresses of our machines on the LAN are statically assigned.
    Problem is our machines are assigned to find the router at a specific address: 192.168.0.254. The default base station IP in that subnet is 192.168.0.1. Is there any way to change the IP of the base station to 192.168.0.254 from the default of 192.168.0.1? We can do it if we have it join our existing LAN in bridge mode, but we want it to provide the main NAT functions AND connect to our ISP's PPPoE server WITHOUT having to change all our LAN devices to find it at 192.168.0.1. Possible?

    The HH will only show devices which use DHCP in the list of devices, unless you've set the device to use a static IP in the HH Home Network page.  It's a bit of a silly idea and IMO the software on the router is terrible, but you do it like this...
    - Set the printer to use DHCP to get an IP address.
    - Log in to the HomeHub 5 and browse to the Home Network page (http://192.168.1.254/index.cgi?active_page=9130)
    - Find the printer in the list of devices and click on it.
    - Click on 'Yes' next to the "Always use this IP address" option.
    - Set the IP address on the printer statically and update your devices to use the new IP address of the printer (if it changed from what it was before).
    That will ensure that the DHCP server in the HH5 doesn't lease the same IP to another device.  This will also allow you to see the printer in the list of devices.

  • Wi-Fi CERTIFIED for 802.11n draft 2.0

    hi tom,
    if you open airport utility and click on your airport extreme.... then click on the wireless options you ca change your frequency there.
    I swith between n & b/g as I have an Ipod touch & that works only with the b/g network.
    hope that helps ....

  • G550 Wireless whitelist, which FRU to get for 802.11n upgrade

    I have a preconfigured T4300 G550 that came with a 2 antenna 11g WLAN adapter.  I want to upgrade to 11n and am aware of the whitelist.  But in looking at posts here an elsewhere not all Lenovo device IDs will work in all systems so it's not enough to just get a Lenovo branded card.
    Is there a dBase somewhere with contents of whitelists for various models?  IOW, where can I find out which FRU I need for this G550 upgrade?  Would a 42T0865 (Intel 4965) be suitable (knowing I'll run just 1 Rx)?
    TIA

    Ok, after doing a bit more searching I found a clue in a completely different forum:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2136789&tstart=0
    Apparently I must have a neighbor with a WiFi router set to a wrong country region (I'm in Brazil), and according to the (foolish, stupid, and all-around knobbish IMSNHO) 802.11d implementation that Apple has chosen to follow in Snow Leopard, it sets its internal card's country region to the region of the first router that broadcasts to it, rather than being smart (like they were in 10.5) and setting it to the country region of the actual router you are connecting to.
    I'm using the script that was offered on that page to reboot my Airport interface until it connects using Wireless N. Until then, this is a big AppleFAIL in my book.

  • NAS for 802.11n?

    Ok,
    The new airport is supposed to support USB drives, thus making them like a network-type drive (called NAS, I think). I use an external SATA drive to work with video (it's still slow) on my Macbook Pro and I also use it to store my iTunes library.
    My question is this: will the new Airport be fast enough for me to do these things WITHOUT being plugged in directly?
    Lawrence

    Hi Lawrence Ingram_Ii;
    You asked; "I wonder. . . if I attach the external drive to the new AEBS with firewire; can I still leave the eSATA line plugged in to the back of the external drive and just plug in directly when I've got video editing to do? Or would I need to dismount if rom the network, and disconnect the firewire prior to using the eSATA connection?"
    Leaving a drive connected twice is dangerous. If anything attempts to write to the drive over both of the connection simultaneously the drive will be corrupted. So the safest technique is to always have one and only one connection on a drive at any time. Anything else is asking for trouble.

  • Korean version of Aiport 802.11n still 130Mbps?

    I bought my MBP in Feb/08 in Korea.
    Until recently they did not allow the segment of frequency
    limiting speed of 802.11n to 130Mbps.
    Now I am using my laptop in Australia. So Is there anyway
    that I can check if my MBP's Airport is still speed limited?
    And if it is is there anyway of removing this restriction?

    Hello Filippo Morelli. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Have you considered running a "Dual-Mode" network?
    The set up would be something like the following:
    o 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) connected directly, via Ethernet, to the DSL/cable modem, and configured for 802.11n only.
    o 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) connected directly, via Ethernet, to one of the AEBSn's LAN port, and configured for 802.11b/g. Optionally, the AEBS could be configured as the main base station in the WDS with the AX.
    o 802.11g AirPort Express Base Station (AX) connected wirelessly to the AEBS as either a remote base station in a WDS or as a wireless client for iTunes streaming and/or USB printer sharing.
    In this configuration, you would have separate wireless networks, one for 802.11n clients, the other for all others. Since the AEBS would be configured as a bridge, all clients on both wireless networks could access the Internet thru the AEBSn, as well as, communicate with each other locally.
    If, and when, Apple releases 802.11n updates for existing 802.11g products, you could substitute them in piecemeal.

  • 802.11n: wireless APs configuration limited to 54Mbps

    Hi,
    I have been deploying a new wireless network using 5508 WLC (running 7.0.98) and 3502 APs.
    I followed the configuration guide found on:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/ps6366/products_tech_note09186a0080a3443f.shtml
    When I try to chek my access-points, maximum speed supported seems to be 54Mbps.
    Testing the same client on a standalone AP configured for 802.11n shows 144 Mbps.
    Any hint?
    TIA

    Solved.
    WMM was not enabled.
