Cannot Use Cisco WAP4410N in Wireless Client/Repeater Mode?
Posted: Mon May 28, 2012 4:25 pm
Hi,
I just purchase a Cisco WAP4410N so hopefully I am in the right place. I don't know much about networking (other than basic stuff) and I've spent hours trying to get the access point setup to no avail.
1) Apparently, my Cisco modem likes to assign new IP addresses to things, so I didn't figure out the web access page until an hour in (was NOT 192.168.1.245)
2) Do I input the same IP address, subnet, DNS and default gateway as my Cisco modem? It has a wireless router and switch bundled in, should I use the wireless network's MAC address or the wired?
Currently, it's set to 'automatically configure':
IPv4
Local IP Address: 192.xxx.x.xx
Subnet Mask: 255.xxx.xxx.x
Default Gateway: 192.xxx.x.x
Primary DNS: 64.xx.xxx.xxx
Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0
I can access the pages fine, but I cannot get the wireless client working...
3) I did a site survey and found my existing network and inputted its SSID and MAC address, but nothing happens. I still get one bar on my wireless devices indicating the AP isn't working.
4) I am not quite sure how to set the time, selected the proper time zone, as well as the automatic updates option in addition to manually inputting a MTP server IP (wwv.nist.gov, 24.56.178.140) but somehow my time keep on defaulting back to 2011 (ie, the wrong time)
Help?
Thanks, Brendan
