What is the range of Cisco access point?
Barring physical obstruction and radio interference, Cisco Meraki access points equipped with omnidirectional antennas typically reach 100 meters. Directional antennas (sometimes called “panel antennas”) greatly extend range by concentrating power in a single direction.
How do you convert a Cisco AP from lightweight to autonomous?
To convert Lightweight AP to Autonomous AP, need to have PC directly connected to AP’s ethernet port. If you are powering AP from the switch (i.e use PoE) then PC & AP needs to be in two switch ports in the same vlan.
What is the difference between a WiFi extender and access point?
Access point is a wireless networking device that allows wireless devices and networks to connect through a wired network using wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi. Extender, sometimes called as repeater, on the other hand, is a networking device used to extend the coverage area of your wireless network.
What is difference between lightweight and autonomous access point?
While lightweight access points can communicate seamlessly via the external WLC, the entire system runs on a different protocol that is used by autonomous access points. This means that autonomous APs and lightweight APs cannot work together on the same network without significant workarounds.
What is the Cisco Aironet 1530 series?
The Cisco Aironet 1530 Series provides high-performance device access through improved radio sensitivity and range with 802.11a/b/g/n multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology, with two or three spatial streams and up to 300‑Mbps data rates. The Aironet 1530 Series can be deployed in the following configurations:
How to configure the WGB unified VLAN feature?
Enable the WGB Unified VLAN feature. This command will allow the WGB to inform the WLC in which VLAN the clients should be assigned. Step 1. Create the VLANs. Step 2. Configure the port where the WGB is pluged in. Step 3. Assign the interfaces where the clients are pluged in to the needed VLAN.
How do I associate the WGB with the CAPWAP AP?
Note : In this example the WGB uses its 2.4GHz Interface to associate to the CAPWAP AP, if you need the WGB to associate with its 5GHz interface add this configuration to the interface Dot11Radio1. Step 4. Enable the WGB Unified VLAN feature. This command will allow the WGB to inform the WLC in which VLAN the clients should be assigned. Step 1.
Why can’t I associate WGB with the WLAN?
Ensure that the WLAN has Aironet IE enable, otherwise WGB wont be able to associate. Note : In this example the SSID is using WPA2/PSK security, if you need to configure the WLAN with a stronger security method like WPA2/802.1x you can consult the this link: 802.1x authentication with PEAP, ISE 2.1 and WLC 8.3 Step 7.
