LAPN300 - the best configuration for 3 access points, while using the same SSID

Hi all

What is the best configuration for 3 x LAPN300 located in various places around my house of 3 floors, access points if I want just one SSID?

I did some initial research which suggests that I can use the same SSID on all three, as long as they are on different channels. 1, 6 and 11 for example. In theory, then, as I wander around the House the client machine must auto swap to the AP with the signal stronger.

What do you think? What is the best way or do, or could suggest you something else?

As an aside... If I decided to create a second SSID for the guests at home, I would also want to add wireless isolation to this SSID. How would that be managing the DHCP server on the local network? How would be asked to connect to the SSID has never get an IP if they have been isolated from other clients on the local network?  Besides, how they see the router? The ANNUAL lets you specify exceptions to this isolation for this feature?  Alternatively, as I suspect, is the right isolation feature isolate them from other WLAN, not the LAN clients customers?

I did some testing and configuration of the AP with the same SSID and security will do what you want. Don't worry about setting the channel because the auto channel setting works with these devices and automatically adjusts the spacing between the appropriate channels.

Recommendation of the VPN_user is what you need if you want to isolate the SSID comments from the rest of your network clients.

Isolation of SSID of the AP will guard only wireless devices to communicate with each other on the same SSID on which it is enabled.

  • Remove the secondary controller and tertiary high availability for each access point

    I want to remove secondary and tertiary sector controller of high availability for each access point. I have more than 900 APs associated with a Version of the WLC 8510 8.0.121.0 software. What is the best/better way to remove secondary and tertiary controller?
    Or I can create a model first. We use version 2.2

    Hello

    Easiest way:

    Yes you can do this by using the first Cisco Infrastructure, you can create a Setup AP Lightweight model to specify the name of the PDC and the IP address and specify an empty value (choose the first empty option in the drop-down list) and 0.0.0.0 for the secondary and tertiary sector controllers.  Then you can apply this model to the AP, and she must remove (virgins all) values for these fields.

    Long way:

    Yes there is no clean way to remove it from the CLI. you need to manually remove each on the AP.

  • Several points of access Cisco Aironet 1131AG and same SSID?

    We have several Cisco Aironet 1131AG, all wired devices on a switch (2560) Cisco L2 which is connected to the L3 switch (3550). We have assigned a VLAN for access point to the L3 switch which acts as a vtp Server (L2 switch is vtp client). All the ap will have a static ip address and all will have the same SSID and no security, and they will use several channels (e.g. 1,6,11).  They will work in 3 floors for a roaming wireless client. We not using any wireless controller.

    So my question is this: how to configure the same APs-all with a different ip address, can we use L3 switch to create the dhcp server to access points VLAN (pool for guests) and the rest of the static ip address for the ap? One of the ap can be WDS and on the same radius server local time with users without Cisco Secure ACS or similar controller or I did not understand this very well :-). I followed the guide http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/12.3_2_JA/configuration/guide/s32roamg.html for WDS where Abu Cisco ACS part is a problem, so I can use the same ap as a Local authenticator as a guide http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/12.3_4_JA/configuration/guide/s34local.html#wp1035723.

    Thank you very much...

    Well, just so you know, WDS, and local RADIUS authentication is necessary only if you use authentication on your wireless connection.  You say that you do not plan to use security, so it's not necessary.  However, I highly recommend at least using a simple WPA2-PSK to lock your connection, otherwise you might end up giving free Internet access at best and at worst you could give access to the computers and corporate servers.  If you want to reuse a 802. 1 x or WPA authentication method, then Yes, you can use an AP as RADIUS and to improve WDS Server authenticated to roaming, but this is much more limited than the use of a Cisco ACS.

    As for your other questions, Yes, your APs can all be configured the same except for at least three settings: IP address, hostname, and channel.  Configure your static IP addresses on the interface of the PA BVI1.  Do not place it on the Radio or Ethernet interfaces, because if one of these interfaces goes down, you lose the ability to configure the AP, so it's best to use the BVI1 interface.

    And Yes, configure a DHCP scope for your customers on your L3 switch is good design, or you can also use your DHCP server on a different subnet by using the command of support-ip address on the interface of L3.  I hope this helps!  Let me know if you need help to set all this up.

  • Must configure with the same SSID of the AP

    We are looking for the purchase of two Access Points to our new building.  We currently have at our old facility two end bottom of AP with two different SSIDs.  Manaully users simply switch between the two.  I would like to know how it would be difficult to set up it would not have users to manually switch as they traveled through the building.

    I have looked at Cisco AP below and I was wondering if she had the ability to do so.  Is there another hardware or software needed to put up something like that.

    Just to clarify I only need two AP and want things transperent to my users.  I want them to be able to walk the area covered to another area covered by the AP2 and AP1 and loose no matter what connection.  Here it's automatic for users do not have to do anything to move things.

    Any info anyone can provide to help me would be greatly appreceated.  Thanks in advance.

    As I understand it, you can configure both with the same SSID settings and security and that they will be 'transparent' to switch to the other. It is if you do not use something like an IP phone that requires a quick transition between the two. In this case, you would need a controller.

  • Problem of airtime with the same SSID

    I often use AirPlay to my iPhone and iTunes on my PC to play for my (home theater installation) AVR - 1506 Marantz.

    Configuring wifi in our House are a router/modem to the ISP and an Asus RT-N56U (in access point mode) with DIFFERENT SSID to which I don't have problem to play AirPlay on any device. I had the same SSID when so I can use wifi roaming without having to change the SSID whenever the other signal weakens.

    When I put two (router & AP) with the same SSID, Airplay icon will not be displayed? But if I put a different SSID to one of the two, airplay icon is back. Channels are on ch.1 (router) and ch.11 (AP). Someone knows how to set up?

    UPDATE:

    Disable NAT in fact access point the AirPlay icon always appear but he cannot yet play through my APR.

    * all updates *.

  • 2 with the same SSID E3200

    Hello

    I want to install the following in a new House and I am looking for your help.

    House has 2 floors. I want to install 2 E3200, one on each floor, but with the same SSID and password, etc. so internet connection / streaming throughout the word is flawless. Is this possible?

    Both floors have taken wall ready network and they all lead to the same modem/router, so all devices connected lead to the same network.

    Thanks in advance.

    Bonez

    PS. the two E3200 was last updated Firmware Version: 1.0.03

    1. If your modem is a router, you should consider implemented the two E3200 (i.e. as access points) and not as a router bridge mode. Chaining routers can cause various issues, including the offsets and disconnects. There is generally no reason chain routers in a home network, you probably want all interconnection.

    2. otherwise, if you want to use an E3200 as a router (for example because the modem/router don't provide some functionality of routing/firewall you want) you should put the modem/router mode "bridge" device It transformed into a simple modem, and you can then reconfigure your E3200 for your internet connection (for example PPPoE for DSL) or DHCP for cable. The first E3200 then functions as normal internet router. The second should still be used in bridge only mode.

    3. If your first router is 192.168.2.1 and the second was 192.168.2.200 and you connect through the second port of the internet router and you put not the second router mode bridge, you will get a working network. The second router works as a router and has the 192.168.2. * subnet identical IP on the internet port and the LAN side. It is cannot be routed. It would never work. If you connect two routers, LANs should not overlap (this is why you have to change the first router 192.168.2.1 IP, because your modem/router uses address of 192.168.1. *). If you define 192.168.3.1 as the second address IP LAN E3200 you can connect the internet port of the second to the first E3200 and you can use the second E3200 as router.

    4. However, if you run both as a router with different IP subnets (which is mandatory if the second operates as a router) you cannot set up a roaming network. A unique SSID is supposed to link to the same local network. A wireless client assumes that moving from one access point to another on the same SSID to connect to the same local network, that is, he can always use the same DHCP IP address and everything else looks the same on each access point. However, with two routers routing, you have two different and two IP subnets different local networks. So for roaming, is not possible.

    So, I recommend you:

    a. place if possible the modem/router to bridge fashion and use it as a simple modem only. Configure the first E3200 as internet router on LAN IP 192.168.1.1. Implement the second E3200 mode bridge on a static IP 192.168.1.2. Connect the internet port of the second to the first.

    b. If you need to keep the modem/router as a router on 192.168.1.1, put in place the two E3200 in Bridge mode and assign the first one address static IP 192.168.1.2 and the second a static IP address of 192.168.1.3. Use the internet ports for the connection.

    c. If you insist on chaining an E3200 as router to your modem/router, do the same configuration that (a.), but use 192.168.2.1 and 192.168.2.2 to the IP addresses of the first and the second.

    Whatever it is, you can configure a roaming with the settings wireless wireless network as described above.

  • WPA and wpa2 on the same SSID

    Miguel,

    While you can activate both it is best to select only 1 of them, but if you choose to have active both, I recommend that configure you them as follows:

  • Satellite R830-1GZ: ConfigFree Radar fails to display the networks without wire with the same SSID

    I have a new R830-1GZ Satellite with Windows 7 and a (much) older Portege M300 - all have two versions of Radar on them.

    However, while the old machine display correctly anywhere wireless and signal forces - even when there are multiple places with the same SSID - I use Powerline Extenders to extend coverage, the new machine with the last RADAR doesn't seem to be able to cope with these multiple identical wireless spots and fails to show more than one at a time - and then reliably.

    I should add that both machines work quite well in fact using the same SSID points connecting to the stronger.

    Is there a utility round way this or another that correctly displays it available different SSID and strength.

    Thank you very much

  • Implementation of Airport extreme with the same SSID

    My House has very thick walls and so I run a Cat5 cable for a number of rooms and installed an Airport Extreme for everyone to create a local WiFi network.

    For the moment, each creates its own wi fi network which is very good for connecting phones, tablets and laptops but I'm trying to connect some SONOS devices and they are not find each other so not a link to the main controller of SONOS.

    SONOS support suggests that if I could get the extremes of the airport on the same SSID, which should help you because they would all be network extensions and so devices would be able to find each other.

    I tried making them all extensions of the network wi fi router but can't see not in the options when I select "Extend an existing network", although on my iPad, I can see wi fi network to the router where the Airport Extreme is so too, it is wired to the router would have thought it should be possible to make all the extensions of a single network.  Research in the community, it seems that the airport is unable to extend a wifi network not Apple, but I could at least get all the airports on the same SSID can help.  I also tried to set up airports so they all extend the network, but they do not see each other because they are too far away.

    I'm not an expert in network management, I understand bits having to solve problems earlier, but if there is there advice or suggestions of the community that would be great

    Thank you

    David

    You choose to extend a network when the incoming signal is wifi. What you need is a "mobile network". Simply connect each airport to the router by ethernet and network with the same SSID and password than the original. Reset the airports so that they put in place from the new so that they detect the arrangement and get into bridge mode - you do not want to provide the IP numbers, you want the home router to do and airports to pass.

  • 3070 connectivity problem - multiple Accespoints with the same SSID

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my printer HP Deskjet 3070 printer all-in-one.

    I have 2 accespoints with the same SSID for better coverage of the pit of the wireless home network.

    For some reason any my HP printer keeps losing wireless connection when the 2 accespoints are rising.

    I use a different frequency for the 2 accespoints channel and it works fine with all other wireless devices.

    I did that a DHCP are used, r, but in fact it doesn't matter because the printer uses a static IP (192.168.0.3)

    When the two AP is the printer loses wirelesss connectivity. (The blue led will blink)

    If I take one of the accespoints offline, the printer becomes available.

    Is this a problem on my end or a problem of software/firmware printer?

    Kind regards

  • Best configuration for the control of solenoid valve

    Hi all

    I'm really new with everything regarding controllers or the relay so that any help would be much appreciated.

    I want to control 5 valves (Web site) with the following characteristics:

    Rated voltage: 12 or 24 VDC, available voltage fluctuation: 10% of energy consumption (when 24V nominal voltage): 1.5W (0.06 A)

    I want to use LabView to control. In a similar position, I knew I would need a digital camera I/O driver relay and a generator of 24V.

    I was thinking of using these:

    NEITHER 6501
    Relay driver (uln2003)

    and a 24V generator.

    Is it enough to order the valves with LabView or do I need something else?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Ilan

    Yes, this combination should suffice.  The ULN2003 is designed for exactly this type of application, and works well.

    Usually in English, we refer to the power supplies when we talk about devices to convert AC line voltages to lower DC voltage.

    In addition to LabVIEW, you will need a driver for the USB-6501 DAQ. Under Windows, it will be DAQmx. On Mac or Linux, the dirver is DAQmx Base. The driver is a separate LV facility, although it can occur on the same disks.

    Hi well the problem seems to be that whenever I try to use any type of device and try to connect using a wireless connection to my router, I can't find an access point or no signal at all of it, but when you use a wired connection, it works perfectly. For example, I'm trying to connect my Wii to the internet via a wireless connection, but I can't find any access point so that it can connect to. So I went to my router configuration and I didn't know what to do to allow a shown access point or wireless to all activity. Theres no wireless tab or whatever it is to install, so I didn't allow remote administration, but still I could not find an access point. I don't know if im just made bad or I need an update of the firmware (mine is currently 1.04.02) or what else. If the help would be nice

    BEFSR41 isn't a wireless router... It is wired.
