Work Group Bridge - Which Mode to Use?

We have some rolling carts used for telemedicine and are currently using Linksys WET610N wireless bridges. I haven't been very impressed with them - I have to reboot them at least once a week and figure it's a roaming issue. Since they are a residential product they probably weren't designed to do a lot of roaming.
I started playing around with WGB and setup an 1142 AP and got it to work. Unfortunately, the only place I can put the AP is inside the cart and the metal top seems to be interfering with the wireless signal.
Which Cisco indoor APs have external antennae mounts and are capable of performing as a WGB?
Our infrastructure is 4400 controllers and 1142 APs.
Thanks.

Look at the 1242's to use as WGB.

Work group bridge with cisco 3500

Hi,
We have few cisco 3500 ap's which is to be used as work group bridge. I am not very sure but i think we need the ap to be in autonomous mode to make it a work group bridge. Currently it is running lwapp/capwap image.
Is this correct, please help with suggestions.

Cisco AP 700w as a Work Group Bridge with a WLAN Controller

I am trying to setup an AP 700w as a Work Group Bridge as it would be interesting to have this running, because it has the built-in 4 port switch.
I have WiSM based WLCs running the version 7.0.240.0. I converted a 700w to an autonomous AP and on the AP I installed the IOS Version 15.3(3)JA1.
When I use an autonmous based AP to connect the 700w as a WGB everything works fine. I can connect clients through the 4 port switch.
If I try to use a Controller based WLAN environment it does not work. The config is simple:
ap#sh run

Local Switching on o-LAP when working on Bridge root mode

Dears,
Need your support in this solution please,
i have 2 LWAPs one working bridge root and the second working bridge mesh, i want to create two SSID on of them work local and the second work centralized. what is the configuration for that. or clarify if this solution supported or not.
Also I need to let O-LAP make local switching on bridge root mode.
wait your feedback urgently ASAP.
Thanks

You mean the interface that the local clients will be passing traffic to, right???

Bank webpage does not work no matter which browser I use

HHello
I tried all the browsers, I still cant use my bank's website, I think they run a script, to make a payment, I click on which account I want to use in a list in a table in the top of the page, and I choose the beneficiary from a drop down menu, which then displays my bill, I click on that, then I push the submit button, and the payment goes through. This works on every PC I've used, but not on the Mac. Any idea how to fix this?
Also, my online trading page does not work, it just says, error, reload, which never works.
I can’t do any work on this computer, this is very annoying.
Thanks

Tom is absolutely correct that the fist step should be to contact the bank and trading account and ask them if they support Macs (and if not, why not).
Taking it a step further, while some websites are coded using Microsoft webpage coding tools that generate non-standard HTML, or use ActiveX to implement page features (never mind that ActiveX is notoriously a huge security loophole --- just what you waqnt on a financial website, no?), and those pages will only work with Internet Explorer under Windows, a depressing number of websites are coded using proper HTML and Java instead of ActiveX, but the pages are coded to check the browser type ("user agent") and refuse to work if the browser doesn't report that it's IE/Windows. This is usually done so that the programmers don't have to bother to check their coding on other platforms or browsers, in the belief that doing so makes for more efficient (read: cheaper) development.
You can check if that's the case with the sites you're trying to use by enabling the Debug menu in Safari, then uing that Debug menu to set the User Agent to be MSIE Windows.
To enable Safari’s Debug Menu, open Applications> Utilities> Terminal when Safari is closed and enter:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
Restart Safari to see the Debug Menu.

You can get the number of machines managed by ConfigMgr that are in workgroups. However that might not be all clients in different workgroups since there is no guarantee that all machines are managed by ConfigMgr (have a client).

Work Group Bridge

I have a cisco AIR-CAP3602E-EK9 and I want to configure it as WGB, I am trying to run dot11 ssid command to conifgure SSID but its not working. Can anybody tell me the command reference to configure AIR-CAP3602E-EK9 as WGB?

Do you have autonomous image on your 3602 ? If not you have to convert Lightweigh image to Autonomous using one of the below methods before configuring it as WGB.
http://mrncciew.com/2012/10/20/lightweight-to-autonomous-conversion/
http://mrncciew.com/2013/12/13/ap-conversion-using-mode-button/
Then you can configure WGB like below.

The email address used to send emails is "[email protected]" But I'm in at least five different groups. How can I set up Thunderbird to differentiate between them?

you can't really, but you might be able to filter them by message content into folders for each, or color them with tags

How many clients on etehrnet lan when config as work-group bridge?

I am considering configuring a 1242ag as either a WGB / non-root bridge, I have read that a WGB can have only 8 clients on its ethernet lan side, and does not associate with wireless clients other then the root-bridge/AP. Can someone confirm this for me?

WGB acts only in Non-Root Bridge w/o clients mode.It is right that Workgroup bridge can accosiate to either Root AP or Root Bridge.

Problem with work group bridge authentication with ACS 5.x

I have seen this issue before, the AP is present an old PAC and doesnt update until after you reboot. You can open a wireless TAC case and they will get you the right image as to when this was fixed. As a workaround you can extend the lifetime of the PAC in your authentication settings for EAP-FAST.

GT784WNV not working in Bridge Mode! Fed up with lack of Customer Service

I don't even know where to start but I am this close to just cancelling Verizon and switching to cable internet. If you want to skip the rant, jump down a paragraph.
I recently moved from a house a few miles away in which I had a solid DSL connection with a Westell 7500 in routed bridge mode that worked just fine with my Asus RT-N56U that I use for browsing, streaming, and online gaming. When I moved, the technician insisted I take the newer Actiontec GT784WNV. Needless to say, Verizon support was unsuccessful in getting it set up in bridge mode. After about 4 hours of unsuccessful troubleshooting, I suggested swapping it back out with my 7500 which worked fine just 4 days prior in my old house. Surprise! It miraculously started working just as it had previously. As I began to use it more, I noticed the connection was unstable. I would get dropped from Xbox Live and lose connection temporarily on my iPad. I ran the Verizon speed test and it would drop to about 0 and spike back up 3 or 4 times during the download test (don't think this is normal but could be). Every day I would talk to Verizon who escalated it to a supervisor about 4 times. They would then close the ticket without calling me. When i would follow up, I was told the supervisor talked to me and I verified the connection was good. Lying makes me livid and there is no accountability whatsoever at Verizon and it happened more than once. It appears to be a way for them to pass the problem on to someone else. I can go on and on about being put on hold for 40 minutes before disconnected, the 20+ hours I have spent re-telling my account info and story to every Tier 1 technician on their payroll for the past week, or the lack of competent customer service supervisors. This weekend, I finally got a call from someone local who said my line had some faults on it and that the problem was somewhere between my jack and the central office and they would send someone out today. Well....today the tech showed up and said "your problem is this old modem" and plugged in the Actiontec that I started with a week ago. I asked if he tested my line or the jack as the lady on the phone told me, and he said no. The problem is the modem. I said, I don't want a modem/router, I just want a regular modem and he said he had one, but it would cost me. How on earth is a plain modem going to cost me when they just installed an 802.11n router/modem combo for free? Absolutely terrible. I told him I want it in bridge mode because I don't want to use the wireless or the routing capabilities of the Actiontec. He said I have to do that and people normally just call Best Buy to have the Geek Squad come out. This really **bleep** me off as I used to run a network shop and configure Cisco routers and switches for a living. Once again, I have spent the past 6 hours tonight on the phone with Verizon only to end up back where I started.
At this point, I need to make this Actiontec GT784WNV a dummy (bridge) and let my Asus Rt-N56U do the work on my network. My Asus has all the port forwarding in place that I need for Xbox Live, etc. I have tried releasing the IP, changing the modem to RFC 1483 Transparent Bridging, disabling DHCP, changing the LAN IP to 192.168.99.1, etc. and it just will NOT get an internet connection. My router is configured correctly, unless there is something different between the Westell and the Actiontec that would require a setting change. Verizon is stumped, Asus hasn't called me back yet, and I am ready to just switch to Cable unless someone can help with a solution. I've been at this for a week. I have spent WAYY too much time fighting with a company that has no desire to deliver or to follow through and with absolutely zero accountability or business sense. Westell 7500 + Asus RT-N56U in old house worked fine. Move houses, change modem, doesn't work, switch back to old modem, works but unstable, tech claims old modem is my problem, plugs in new modem, doesn't work. I just want to use my router. How hard can that be? Can anyone please help?

Unfortunately that didn't work. I ended up putting my router in the DMZ as a workaround but it still had it's share of issues. After another week of trying to get Verizon to fix my connection (constant dropped connections forcing reboots of modem and router multiple times daily) I had Cable Internet installed today. Went from an unstable 6Mb/s to a stable 30Mb/s with Cable. I should have done this weeks ago. I wasted over 50 hours of my time with Verizon bouncing my issue around to others hoping someone else would be willing to fix it. Still no accountability with everyone tinkering with my setup taking a stab in the dark. The last person I spoke with set up a technician to come to my house later this week...AGAIN because he said there is something wrong on the line. I've known that for weeks but the tech that refused to fix my issue when he was in my house last week instead tried blaming it on something completely irrelevant because he had no clue what to do. One would think someone from Verizon would have reached out to me from this thread but they did not. In fact, the last tech's supervisor called me when i wasn't home, said "hello, this is XXX from Verizon......hello?" and hung up. Never a follow up as I was left once again to solve the problem myself. Well...I did. The incompetence of Verizon, it's poor training, and awful follow up procedures has cost them a customer. I am truly disappointed.

Can hotspot of iphone work in bridge mode of airport express ?

I wanna share internet from iphone.
the hotsopt of iphone->bridge mode of airport express->ronter->nas,pc,ipad...etc
how to setup this net in my house?
THX

Yes, the Express will work as wireless bridge.. join a wireless network. It then plugs by ethernet into the router. But the router should be working in bridge also so it is really just a WAP. Then you plug in your NAS PC iPAD etc.. that is if the iphone is going to have the ability to handle dhcp from all those devices.. otherwise you have to use the router in NAT mode, which will cause double NAT issues.
BTW this is all wrong.. buy a 3G/4G wireless router. It is far superior setup. And since you will simply be chewing your data allocation it is better to buy the device for the job instead of creating a hydra.

Bridge vs Lightroom - Which do you use?

I just subscribed to Creative Cloud am am learning how to use both Bridge and Lightroom. I've been using Apple's Aperture program to organize images, but I want to see how Lightroom stacks up and perhaps switch.
I have so many things to figure out, it's going to take a while. But one question I'd like to as on this forum is whether you, as a web designer, use Bridge or Lightroom to organize your images.
I'm currently using Aperture to organize sort of a base library of images that haven't been processed for a website. If I select one of these images (from Aperture or Lightroom), open it in Photoshop and save it for the web - as Animal.jpg, for example - then I figured I'd use Bridge to organize Animal.jpg.
But someone on the Lightroom forum told me that would be confusing; I should use one program or the other.
So I just wondered which program you use. I haven't yet figured out exactly how they overlap and what the pros and cons of each program are.
Thanks.

I use Bridge for previewing quite a bit with Photoshop.
Use whatever works best for YOU.

Can't get my TC to work in Bridge mode...

I installed Time Capsule TC to my exsisting network, that has a Linksys router. Can't get my TC to work in Bridge mode. Suggestions?
I have the TC directly connected to the router and want to use the TC for wireless Time Machine back ups and to share other hardrives via
the network. I also have an old airport express for airplay speakers in one room. And an airport extreme that I thought I had set up to extend
the network wirelessly. I have yet to find a concise and clear list of steps to make this happen.
Any help would be appreciated.
Holly

The problem is the steps changed with the new airport utility..
I can tell you the steps on a 5.x utility. If you run Lion then download the real tool.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Go to manual setup.. internet tab.. connection sharing.. select off, bridge mode.. update the TC..
Wasn't too hard was it.

Which Luma/Chroma mode to use with Broadcast Safe filter

How would I know which Luma/Chroma mode to use with the Broadcast Safe filter? I'm creating a DVD of a dance concert that might make it onto television but there are no specific plans at this time.

As you read their tech specs, you'll see that broadcast standards cover a lot more than just luma levels.
(There's also content! http://www.pbs.org/aboutpbs/aboutpbs_standards.html)
You may want to read the technical standards carefully so that you don't have to
