Cisco Wireless Infrastructure and Netgear Device

[bm_5789]

Does anyone have experience with a Netgear WNCE3001 connecting to a cisco wireless network?  Specifically, Cisco 5760 controllers and cisco 3700i access points.  I am unable to get one of the devices to connect, even to our guest which has no security.  TIA

If you can't connect to an SSID with no security configured I don't think there is anything that is going to work.

Let's not narrow it down to just a netgear device.  Does anyone know of any issues with using a NON-CISCO WGB with cisco 5760 controllers?  TIA

[Philip D'Ath]

Workground bridge attachments between different vendors is fraught with issues.  On the whole, it never works.

Do you have specific knowledge of the interoperability between NON-CISCO WGB and cisco 5760 controllers?

[Philip D'Ath]

I don't have specific knowledge.

WGB's were not really "standardised" like normal WiFi clients.  Hence vendors created them all different kinds of ways.  As a result, you often can't mix them between vendors.

I would be surprised if you got it working.
