beginner help cisco 1800 router wifi interface

can someone tell me the best way to get the wifi interface up and running on the cisco 1800. I created a ssid for dot11radio O interface. I was able to bind it to one of my vlans. I assigned it an ip address and used no shut. For authentication, i made it open. I am able to ping the wifi interface from the router's CLI. I run show int dot11radio0 and it shows the interface is up. I run show dot11 association and it shows my wifi interface and vlan. For some reason I can not see the ssid being broadcast over the wifi network. If anyone can provide some direction or a sample of a working wifi config that would be great. Im not really concerned about security or wep at the moment. I just want to the simpliest solution for enable wifi on one interface and have the ssid broadcast on the wireless network.

Thank you

To configure the Cisco 1800 for wireless connectivity the following needs to be configured.

Perform the following tasks to configure this network scenario:

1.Configure the Root Radio Station

2.Configure Bridging on VLANs

3.Configure Radio Station Subinterfaces

For information on configuring the above mentioned parameters refer to the following URL.

Have you got this working? I have same issue?

IOS won't broadcast the SSID unless "Guest-Mode" is set. I think for the 1800's dot11 interface there is only one BSSID allowed, so make sure you have guest-mode enabled on only one SSID. Don't hold me to that.

The other big thing to do is simply enable terminal monitor from exec. If you missed a configuration step, you'll get a syslog message indicating why the radio wasn't enabled.
