Roaming WAP321

Hello

I set up a wireless network for a small office with 25 people with about 15 on wirless anytime. The office is very long and skinny, I'm looking at a cluster of WAP321. I hope that these will save a ton of money compared to buying a controller and access points more expensive.

How they work for roaming? I tried a search but I found descriptions some of them do not at all roaming and their roaming, but you must do some sort of right pre-approval until they wander without user interaction, they simply wander.

I need users to be able to wander around the office without interruption. I want to install these and pull them up later and put into new ones and a controller. If someone could help me to know if the WAP321 works for homelessness, I'd appreciate it.

Thank you

James

Hi James, homelessness is good enough to not be awkward. It would be an automatic switching and little disruption in general. There may be 1-2 complaints here and there if someone spends a lot of time "stimulation" where it would actually force the switch on a lot. But it is almost not noticeable for the casual roaming or a slight delay but really this isn't business related.

  • WDS Airport Roaming vs vs Extended Network

    Hello friends,

    In a roaming network, all airports have the same wireless network name and wireless security settings. If I'm not mistaken in WDS also the same rule should be followed. Is also applicable to a network of Airport Extreme Extended (1 main base station connected to a broader base station)?

    If this is the case then a user can move freely between these extremes of the airport with the same user name and password in any scenario 3. So what is the difference besides the AEs interconnected via ethernet and wireless in 3 different topology?

    Thank you.

    In a roaming network, all airports have the same wireless network name and wireless security settings. If I'm not mistaken in WDS also the same rule should be followed.

    It is basically correct. Routers for Apple, there are three types of networks "scopes": 1) expanded that using wireless connections between fixed stations, 2) Roaming using connections between base stations, & 3) Wireless Distribution System (WDS) wired. WDS uses also all wireless connections.

    The first two replaced WDS that was designed to be used only with the old base station 802.11 g. He has a major advantage. You can extend a network in a series as employed the use of a "main", "relay", and "distance" base stations. This feature is not embedded with the new models, elongated or Roaming.

    Is also applicable to a network of Airport Extreme Extended (1 main base station connected to a broader base station)?

    For the most part, Yes. The extended base station that's exactly right and the extension of the primary Wi - Fi network. So it would have the same network name and use the same type of security and password.

    If this is the case then a user can move freely between these extremes of the airport with the same user name and password in any scenario 3. So what is the difference besides the AEs interconnected via ethernet and wireless in 3 different topology?

    The main difference is overall performance of bandwidth of a Wi - Fi. Maintaining an extensive network using wireless connections only requires treatment of additional network traffic. This overload can reduce the bandwidth available to normal wireless traffic. This problem does not exist with a roaming network.

    The other problem with a network extended wireless all is loss of bandwidth. Each added to the extended network, base station reduces overall bandwidth almost in half. Again, this is not a problem with the network of mobile type.

    Finally, with a network extended wireless all base stations which extend to extend the hand to the same bandwidth it receives from the hand to this place. So the wireless clients connected to one of the extension of base stations will produce ever and when then are connected to the main.

  • Problem with the complete signal of roaming

    Hi all

    My iphone 6s had served 10 months and very well, starting this week, I continue to have this (loading icon displayed next to the 3 G icon) roaming issue once every day what all my apps have no data carrier suddenly then the signal is full(4/5-dots), my phone is only able to find roaming after flight mode reset. Someone knows how to solve or having the same case with that? is this problem just iOS?

    -seems to happen after I have updated to iOS 9.3.5

    -I am using network of 3 / 4 G in Hong Kong

    -J' I reboot my phone twice and still get

    -C' is *.

    If the signal is good, but you don't get downloads of data, you must contact your service. They might be limiting your speed down.

  • In Europe roaming settings

    I'm going to Europe for a month.  What settings should I set my data and voice roaming on?

    Hello walshsemail,

    Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know the importance of knowing how to prepare your iPhone when traveling is for you! The first step is to contact your carrier for specific processes when you travel. After you contact your carrier, the following article will be useful to explain the other measures that take before leaving for Europe:

  • In a roaming network, Mac always connects with AE which is further away

    So, I had a roaming network for years to host a detached office which was too far from my house.  Worked very well.  Now, my family and I have moved into a temporary rented condo (two floors).  Therefore, there is a lot of wifi networks in the area in conflict with.

    After trying to extend the network (signal too low in the area), I decided to try the roaming network again.  Most of the time, it works very well.  But from time to time, my iMac (on the ground floor) connects with the Airport Extreme, which is on the floor instead of the Airport Express, which is down in the same room as the iMac.  What happens when it connects to the Airport Extreme on the floor, my Tx rate drops to less than 100 Mbps (sometimes dramatically if) and I am unable to listen to the music to my Airport Express without dropouts.

    The dressing was to turn off my wifi on the iMac, and then turn it back on.  It will then connect to the Airport Express.   The problem is that I have to do this in general once a day as my iMac will enter into the "standby" and periodically reconnect with Airport Extreme when I wake up (or if I re-enable it if off).  Ideally, he would stay with the Airport Express.

    So I hope that there is an alternative.  I thought about simply renaming the Airport Express network in the different name of Airport Extreme.  But all the itinerant instructions whereby I know that network names must be the same for all airports in the roaming network.  But perhaps this is not the case.

    Comments are appreciated!

    Unfortunately, you encounter a known issue with the use of a roaming network... and it is not specific to those provided by Apple either. The "solution" you use, although not elegant, is basically everything with that we have (at this time) to go.

    In theory, your iMac fixed, must always connect to the Wi - Fi with the signal network hard... not necessarily the closest to it. It may be possible, since you mentioned that you live in a highly congested environment Wi - Fi, your iMac is struggling to determine the right network to connect to when starting.

    Of course, a more "permanent" solution for your iMac, at least, would connect directly to the nearest base by Ethernet station.

  • Firefox does not open. Keep saying the profile is missing. There is no profile of AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\

    I'm on Windows 7 OS.

  • Network configuration of Roaming Wifi problem I just bought an Airport Extreme and I intend to use it as my router

    I just bought a refurbished Airport Extreme and I intend to use it as my router & combine with our old time Capsule of existing one to create a roaming Wifi network.

    The new Airport Extreme (renovated) is in my studio/Office - directly connected to our internet broadband wireless (WAN port)

    Our small ethernet is connected to my iMac [mid 2010 running OSX 10.11.5] & a PC and extends up to 2 other domains through an ethernet switch.

    This configuration works very well, our internet speed has improved slightly - better than our old T-Link router bit.  WiFi available throughout the House - better on one side.

    Time Capsule (2 TB) is connected by ethernet on the far side of the House, offer backup Time Machine and strong Wifi to this area.

    This time Capsule was an existing installation that went perfectly with the T-Link before I bought the Airport Extreme.

    I used the Airport utility to set everything up and it seems to work.

    The problem is:

    Combines the Capsule and extreme connected & active, the Internet gradually slows down and grinds to stop. -Wifi seems to follow suit, but is much more gradual.

    If I disable the Time Capsule, the internet connection is back to normal, Airport Extreme Wifi signal is strong and extends to almost all areas.

    I got to the departure of the two units configuration problems, so I reset both factory default and from that moment managed to do all this work - with the exception that the internet connection slows down.  Whenever I visit a different web site, it takes more time to load/link upward.

    I spoke with our ISP, the link to our tower is solid. The technology suggested that I put Wifi on each unit to use a different channel (2 frequencies & several channels each available).

    So far, this has not resolved the problem, I will continue to make adjustments.

    I googled this - most of the answers are not to date - usually 2012, 13, 14. and not directly related to my situation.  But I will continue my search.

    I'd appreciate if anyone here has any suggestions

    The new Airport Extreme (renovated) is in my studio/Office - directly connected to our internet broadband wireless (WAN port)

    What is the number and the model of the modem or modem/router that your ISP has provided you?

    Should we assume that you use a Mac with the help of a current or recent operating system?

    If you get out of the Capsule of time and leaves disabled for now, the network AirPort Extreme continue to run at full speed for a few hours and not slow down?

    We ask these questions because we must first confirm that the AirPort Extreme works properly until we can begin to troubleshoot the connection to Time Capsule.

  • Windows 8.1, why Thunderbird have profiles in username\appdata\local and username\appdata\roaming?

    I searched online for how to find my address book and found an article that says to look in Users\username\appdata\local\thunderbird. I have not found it, I don't have to search and found in Users\username\appdata\roaming\thunderbird. Do I the Users\username\appdata\local\thunderbird directory, or is it a remnant of a previous version of Thunderbird? I would delete if I don't need.

    Background information:
    When the Thunderbird program is installed it puts it here:

    • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\

    or if you are using 64-bit windows, it will be here:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Thunderbird\

    When you run Thunderbird, it will create a default profile, and this is where all your accounts email, address books, filters, passwords etc. are stored. Use for backup purposes.

    • C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\Profile name\

    Windows also creates some cache folders and files, that is stored here:

    • C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Thunderbird

    These files and folders do not contain any emails etc and are not necessary for backup purposes.

  • 6s still with disabled data roaming

    Recently, I was in Vancouver, and even if I had roaming turned off voice and data on my iphone 6, I was still receiving service. Then I am responsible for roaming by Verizon. I called Verizon, they said, that can't happen. But that was certainly the case. the iOS is 9.1. Is there a problem with the iphone 6 and 9.1 I should know about?

    Hi ginadet,

    I understand that you have some doubts about homelessness, you received while this feature has been disabled. I know it's important to have control over your service, so I'm happy to provide advice for this.

    The first thing I recommend is to make sure that the iOS on your iPhone is updated to ensure the best compatibility. You can see how to do this here:

    Update the software on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support iOS

    You can also learn more about homelessness here:

  • Can I plug two Airport Express units with ethernet cord and have a third Airport Express Terminal receive airplay music wirelesslly? In other words, can I combine a Wi - Fi network and roaming?

    I have an undesirable on the 1st floor, connected to the cable modem Ethernet event. I want to connect that AE to an another AE on 2nd floor with ethernet cable AND have a 3rd AE on the 1st floor to receive music through AirPlay wireless. I thought that linking the two first AEs with ethernet would improve the performance of web site on my iMac desktop, which is on the 2nd floor and connects to the 2nd floor AE via wifi. The EI the first two are newer model (MC414LL/A); the 3rd AE is old model (MB321LL/A) and is connected to a stereo Bose with a mini-jack to RCA cable double cord. I tried to set up this network using AirPort Utility, but have had no success. I don't know if it is possible to do what I want to do; and if this is the case, I don't know how to set the various parameters for each AE using AirPort Utility. I've temporarily implemented a purely wireless network; Do not connect DO NOT the two AEs with ethernet and everything works. I would enjoy my plan as above, or if I hold with purely network wireless. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Using ethernet network roaming between the two floors is a much better idea than anything wireless.

    The installation should be automagical if you start with the two AE plugged in by ethernet.

    It must be configured in standard roaming with identical names wireless.

    If you have any questions... Please, just after the airport utility screenshots of the configuration... but

    An express train is probably the router? You must confirm this.

    The second express is so configured in bridge... It's on the network tab, disable the bridge mode.

    Without thread is set to create a wireless network and simply use the same name and the same password as the other Express.

    As it should be automagical when you WAN on the second AE plugged into the LAN on the first AE.

    Wireless and then extend to will also be installed enough well automatically even if sometimes it works better in a client that extend wireless mode.

    See the Client mode.

  • Time capsule and extreme; Cannot create the roaming network

    Problem: when you try to create a network roaming with time capsule and extreme, the wifi hangs and the network is up and down. Here are my deets:

    TC and extreme as well have the latest firmware of the 7.7.7 are the latest generation of products, purchased in the last 12 months

    TC is connected to Arris SB6183

    ISP is Cox North san diego County

    TC is then connected to the netgear GS105. (upstairs)

    NETGEAR GS105 then connects to GS108 (down in the patch panel in the closet of the master bedroom)

    1 x GS108 port connects to extreme

    I can get the stable network and works correctly as long as I don't have connected and extreme.

    I followed the instructions provided by apple in their "how to set up a roaming network.

    I have hard reset the devices apple repeatedly in my attempt to get things to work

    I started a Wan shortly ago at the connected WiFi and that was stable and work for not more than 30 minutes and then it went offline.

    So here I am now. Unable to get back online and stable with two apple devices connected network.

    System was stable and working well before the upgrade to 7.7.7. I had a wifi connected network not a roaming network at the time.

    Any suggestion would be great and really appreciated.

    Thank you

    After screenshots of the TC and AE installing airport utility.

    I suspect that you simply have something set wrong...

    Main error is to use extend wireless when it is connected by ethernet... This will create a loop and bring down the network.

    The two units must be defined to create a wireless network... both must use the same name (SSID) and the same password, but must be set to different channels.

    It is almost impossible in this case crashing the network since the two are completely independent Wireless Access Points... (WAP).

    The TC must be in router mode... EI must be in the bridge (bridge mode off on the network tab.)
