Cisco Wireless Infrastructure and Netgear Device

bm_5789 · ‎02-17-2016

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

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?

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.
