You got it right Lee. The higher speeds will not necessarily be of use for us in the higher ed sector (yet... you never know), although it will be nice to simply have the capability in those special cases where they could be used. For now the one advantage that Gigabit Wi-Fi will provide will

With the amount of glasses free HD 3D screens being shown at CES this week, I would imagine something along the lines of Skype in HD 3D. Also, the next HD standard will be 4k HD. That will exceed the limits of current 802.11n. Think of it this way, HDMI version 1.4 cables are capable of 10Gbps.

WAPS seem to die after switch reboot

2012-01-11 Thread Vikki Cutrone
Hello, I am running multiple Cisco 4404 controllers Vers-7.0.116 and the majority of the WAPS are CAPWAP 1131's . The issue I seem to be having is that lately when I reboot an access layer switch, POE, 3750 series, with WAPS attached, I lose some of the WAPS. The WAPS never come back on

Vikki, After the reboot are the APs still drawing power, just not showing a link light on the switch? Have you tried plugging a console cable into an AP when you do a reboot on the 3560 to see what messages the AP returns? I have seen an issue on our 3560's before, and the condition was related

Vicki, If I remember correctly the power module in the cisco switch controls ports in groups of 4. Try and move one of the dead access points to a port in a group of 4 that does NOT already have an access point in the group. I've seen issues like this before but not on a 3560. Regards, Craig

We're dealing with a similar issue right now too, but it seems to be AP-independent. We have a mix of Cisco 3500's and 1250's running on Cisco 3750EPs (running 12.2(53)SE2) and a sample of each type of AP experience the problem. Our 3750's are Gigabit so I've been using the 'test

The consumer market loves new technology, and since this standardizes on the 5GHz band only, it is my best friend. Most of the RF problems we have is because too many computers are perfectly happy working on N on the 2.4 GHz range, yet there are too many legacy devices and mobile devices to

Are these 1131's LWAPP from the factory or did you convert these in the field from autonomous to LWAPP / CAPWAP? We have found that some of our converted 1230 series APs do this and show the same IEEE PD message on the switch. We had to go onsite or bring them back to the office to reload the

Pinging I-Devices

Has anyone come across any solid explanation of why iphones, ipads, and ipod touches all seem to respond poorly to simple ping tests in terms of latency? Just pinging an ipad across a local home network yields horrible results e.g. bjp$ ping 10.0.1.14 PING 10.0.1.14 (10.0.1.14): 56 data bytes

Brandon, I'm pasting a link to a Mac forum thread. If you read almost down to the bottom, it seems to explain the issue that you are seeing. In short, it seems to be a power-save feature. If you ping the device while it's idle, you get delayed ping times. If you ping it while it's
