Dear All,

I have a problem with 1310 AP bridge that when I Use a couple of the 1310 as Root Bridge in the main site and non Root Bridge in the remote site but when I start to use this link the time increase to more than 1000ms and then disconnect, I need your help to make the link stable and can hold more bandwidth.

1) what is the distance between the two bridges?

2) do you have internal or external antennas?

3) what are the cable types you are using to connect bridges to its antenna?

4) have proper site survey done , with correct antenna alignment?

5) it would be great if you can post :

A) show tech of two bridges

B) show dot11 association all

Kind regards

Hello Ahmad,

thanks for update.

you can try to configure the disatance command , and check how it goes

config t

interface dot11rdaio 0

distance 1

- also you can try increasing the bridge power level.

config t

interface dot11radio 0

power local Max...

Hi Talal,

I'm on site now and I get you the show command that you want in the attached files, hope it will help, I use the command of the distance and power its butter now thanks to you and your great effort,

I need to give much power so I have two questions as below:

1- how mach the mw power of the wireless interface in 1310?

2- Can I change the wireless interface with another interface like Atheros wireless interface with 400 mw, because it has the same port?

thanks in advanced

Hello Ahmed,

thanks for update, just came from vacation :-)

for the power as you can see in

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/prod/collateral/wireless/ps5679/ps5861/product_data_sheet09186a00802252e1.html

• Maximum transmit power of 100 milliwatts (mW)  for 802.11b and 30 mW for 802.11g. Maximum power setting will vary  according to individual country regulations.

also you can configure it with

configure terminal

interface dot11radio 0

power local max

also good to add

antenna transmit diversity

antenna receive diversity

regarding chaning the radio chip this is something not supported with cisco , and even with 3rd party antenna's....

Kind regards

Hi Talal,

Happy new year and happy holidays I hope that you have nice time.

I'm happy that I hear from you again, thanks for your quick reply

for the power as you can see in

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/prod/collateral/wireless/ps5679/ps5861/product_data_sheet09186a00802252e1.html

- I could not reach this document even when I do login in the Cisco Site.

• Maximum transmit power of 100 milliwatts (mW)  for 802.11b and 30 mW for 802.11g. Maximum power setting will vary  according to individual country regulations.

- My Wireless Lan is 802.11g (I get it from the Show command)

also you can configure it with

configure terminal

interface dot11radio 0

power local max

- I did these two commands It's butter now.

also good to add

antenna transmit diversity

antenna receive diversity

- These two commands give an error when I use theme as you can see the reselt in the attache text file (the software image is c1310-k9w7-tar.124-21a.JA1.tar) .

regarding chaning the radio chip this is something not supported with cisco , and even with 3rd party antenna's....

- You are right I tried to change the Wlan interface with another one with 400 mW (Atherose) but it did not appears in the interface of the 1300 Bridge...

Need your advice,

Best Regards,

Ahmed

Hi Talal,

Thanks again for your great effort,

I'm still suffring from the Performance of the AP 1310, many time out, not stable channels and bad transfer rate bit,

so please Talal help me to chose another Cisco Wireless product with much stable link cababilty and I can use it for distance about 1Km with either 5GH or 2.4GH, because I will change it all, so what do you think the better solution of wireless Cisco products for stable link, normal time and more bandwidth?

Thanks in Advanced,

Ahmed

Hello Ahmed

for the bridges , this is not must problem in bridge and can be due to environmet nearby bridge...

a lot of factors to conside ( cable lenght and type between bridge and antenna for example)...

other bridge is1410 , but also the bandwidth on both is limited to 54 MBps...

Kind regards

Thanks for your Reply,

Sorry to be late I was out of office because I was sick,

Thanks for the great effort and the helpful information that I get from you,

I will go with second option to change the 1310 with 1410 so my I will get best signal and performance,

I really enjoy to talk to you by mail in this case,

Thanks a lot
