Tracy Beekman — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 05:11:12 GMT

Hi all,

I have asked before, but still having a problem that I guess I am not getting. I have a 1262. I have two antenna. One that is omni at 5Ghz for outside and another that is a 2.4Ghz omni. I can connect to the 2.4Ghz inside the building but for some reason am not able to see the 5Ghz side. Here is the config I have on the device. As you can see, both radio interfaces are up and it is a very simple config....does anybody see what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance for the help.

Two questions

1.) what port do you have the antenna on?

2.) does your device support the DFS channels? Try moving to channel 36 and see if you can connect.

The router does support DFS and it is on. The 2.4Ghz is plugged in to the 2.4 side of the AP and the 5Ghz is plugged into the 5Ghz side of the AP.

Thanks,

Tracy

Stephen Rodriguez — Fri, 18 May 2012 23:08:05 GMT

For the antenna question I meant which port left right or center?

You say router, are you referring to the AP? Or are you trying to bridge?

Ah...they are both in the first port at what I would consider the top. My apologies on adding "router", it's strictly an access point.

Stephen Rodriguez — Fri, 18 May 2012 23:27:24 GMT

Ok so both are on the A port of their respective sides.

Now the client that can't connect on the 5GHz, does it support DFS? Can you change the channel to something other than the DFS setting and see of the client will attach?

I have tried a few devices. My iPhone, Laptop running Win7, and a Nintendo DS. Nothing sees it so far. Unfortunately I have left the office for the day. I will give changing from DFS a try on Monday morning. I can see the 2.4 side no problems and it extends a little to the outside of the building, but getting nothing from the 5 side and the antenna is mounted outside on a mast. Thanks again for your help. I will let you know what I find Monday morning.

Bootup is good and I can see both the 2.4 Ghz and the 5.0 Ghz radio going up. I have the following follow-up questions:

1. What client/client's do you have that you need 5.0 Ghz? Can you specify, for example, the wireless NIC card used?

2. How far are you from the WAP when you try to search for the 5.0 GHz.

3. I've read your description about your antenna. Can you specify the 5.0 Ghz antenna model you are using?

Stephen,

I tried this and still nothing. I am begging to wonder if my extension cable is bad, though it tested good.

Thanks,

Tracy

Cisco 1262AP

Tracy Beekman — Tue, 22 May 2012 13:26:48 GMT

I see them both come up every time as well.

1. No specific client. The intention of the 5Ghz side is to spray signal to a park so citizens will have access to the Internet while they are there with their children. I am using my iPhone to try and find the signal.

2. I have tried it at different places, but usually 3 to 4 hundred feet away from the building the atenna is mounted on. The antenna is mouted at a high point on the building.

3. The antenna is a AIR-ANT5160V-R, 5GHz, 6DBi. I have it set for best range in the IOS. It is Omnidirectional antenna with RP-TNC.

Thanks,

Tracy

Cisco 1262AP

Tracy Beekman — Tue, 22 May 2012 13:57:21 GMT

So, what I haven't said is that the extension cable I am using is 200ft. From what I am reading that could/does equate to 60% decrease in signal and on a 5GHz antenna, that doesn't have the best range already, which will more than likely cause signal to be minimal or next to nothing. Does that sound right?

Cisco 1262AP

Stephen Rodriguez — Tue, 22 May 2012 19:34:21 GMT

it could be. quick test there, but a 5GHz antenna on the port directly, and see if a client can connect.

what is the downtilt on the antenna? If it's mounted high and it's pointed straight up, the eplane may not be reaching down to where the clients are.

Yes sir...quick test for sure...after the Seniors are out of the building or at least sitting and eating lunch. It's about the only time they are not scootin around the building. I am going in the morning to pull the antenna down and do just that.

Cisco 1262AP

Tracy Beekman — Tue, 22 May 2012 19:39:20 GMT

there is no downtilt on the antenna. It is point straight up. It is omnidirectional. Should that put out a 360 spray or am I naive to think that??

Cisco 1262AP

Stephen Rodriguez — Tue, 22 May 2012 19:44:04 GMT

well, 360 out from the antenna yes. but it's not straight down.

take a look at the guide for the antenna, especially the e-plane pattern.

I am using my iPhone to try and find the signal.

iPhone 3 or 3S does not have 802.11a antenna.

I have tried it at different places, but usually 3 to 4 hundred feet away from the building the atenna is mounted on.

This could be your culprit as wifi is not designed to go that far even with external antenna like the 5160V. How HIGH from the ground is this antenna mounted?

So, what I haven't said is that the extension cable I am using is 200ft.

I am no electrical or radio engineer but this is very, very long. The longer the cable the higher the signal loss. And you're even operating WITHOUT a signal booster.

Cisco 1262AP

Tracy Beekman — Tue, 22 May 2012 22:02:44 GMT

Yes....as you and Steve have been helping me with this and giving more information, I have been researching more on that info (odd how you can't seem to find answers until someone points you in that direction). With a 200ft coax, that is up to 60% signal loss. Cisco says up to 822 ft signal radius in perfect conditions, I have essentially cut that down to 300 ft with the cable and with it mounted high on a building with no tilt, I would get absolutely nothing. I was under the impression that the antenna put out a 360 degree spherical signal, but have seen that that is not true. I am going to take the antenna down tomorrow, plug directly in to the AP and see what I get. I should have a GREAT signal on my iPhone then. I have a 4S. After I have proven that it is the cable causing most of the problems, I will more than likely purchase a 100ft ULL cable from Cisco (I have to get it out of the building somehow), put some tilt on it, and lower it. Would yall recommend a signal booster either way for it though? My thoughts are a definite yes, but it is always good to hear a yes or no from the experts. Again, I can't thank either of you enough for your help and advice. I would still be scratching my head. Hopefully as I get more into this, I will be able to give the great tips and advice that you both have.

Thanks,

Tracy
