Wireless connectivity problem

[supergrip7]

Hi Ahmed,

I am here again asking you to troubleshoot my connection.

Adsl is working perfectly, just I can not connect with my laptop, I mean it does not detect the SSID (Cisco) alredy configured on the 857w router.

Here I have attached the config, maybe you can take a look on it and see what is wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Daniel,

Try adding the command "vlan 1" under the ssid Cisco:

ssid Cisco

vlan 1

:

And also, try to add the following command under the global config mode:

Router(config)# bridge 1 protocol ieee

Hope it helps!

I've seen this happening with 85x..

I think I had to erase configuration and start again, very strange. Will check a configuration that I have working later on.

Hi Daniel,

Can you try this configuration:

interface Dot11Radio0

no ip address

!

!

encryption vlan 1 key 1 size 128bit 0 1234567890ABCDEF1234567890 transmit-key

encryption vlan 1 mode wep mandatory

!

ssid Cisco

vlan 1

authentication open

authentication shared

guest-mode

!

I have that configuration working in my Lab with an XP Laptop.

Hi Juan,

I have tried your configuration and unfortunally my wifi is still not working.

Let me attached my config, meybe to have the change to see what is wrong on it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Daniel,

Try changing the encryption mode to WEA instead of "ciphers tkip":

no encryption mode ciphers tkip

encryption vlan 1 mode wep mandatory

encryption vlan 1 key 1 size 128bit 0 1234567890ABCDEF1234567890 transmit-key

Make sure that you choose WEA on your Laptop and add the 128bit-key "1234567890ABCDEF1234567890".

Also, make sure you choose WPA as authentication method and to use the correct key. You can also try to use the WiFi without authentication for testing purposes:

SSID Cisco

no authentication key-management wpa

no wpa-psk

!

Finally, remove the following line from the main Dot11Radio0 interface:

no bridge-group 1

Let me know how it goes.

Regards,

Juan

Hi JUan,

Just to let you hnow that when I try to include the following line:

encryption vlan 1 key 1 size 128bit 0 1234567890ABCDEF1234567890 transmit-key

Error: key management does not support key index 1

Also when I try to include this one:

no authentication key-management wpa

Error: Encryption mode cipher is not configured.

I am not a router expert...

Thanks for your support.

Juan,

I have changed my configuration as following:

int Dot11Radio0

no ip address

no bridge-group 1

no encryption mode ciphers tkip

encryption vlan 1 Mode ciphers tkip

write memory

Then if I go to (show running-config) looks like it did not save properly because just appear

interface Dot11Radio0

no ip address

!

encryption vlan 1 mode ciphers tkip

!

ssid Cisco

vlan 1

authentication open

authentication shared

authentication key-management wpa

guest-mode

Also let you know that I do have HP laptop with a PCMCIA SMC2632W wireless card, and it was working properly with my old 3com Wireless router, I mean it inmediatly detected the wifi connection.

I do not what is happening with my router existing conf, I attached it again, in just in case you can detect samething wrong.

Thanks a lot for your support.

Hi Daniel,

I noticed that you have two different SSIDs configured (Cisco and cisco). Lets do the following:

no SSID cisco

ssid Cisco

wpa-psk ascii 0 cisco123

!

Now, if it doesn?t work after the changes, there should be something wrong with your Laptop configuration. Remember to change the WPA password/key on your Laptop to "cisco123" when connection to SSID "Cisco".

Hope it helps!

Juan
