Wireless Access

Users are using wired LAN and wireless access at 2 different location less than 300 metre distance.

I have setup 2x IAP meshing for another location by using PoE switch for the users.

Users want to have a wireless access at there.

1.) Can I setup new IAP135 by connecting mesh point PoE switch for wireless users?

2.) Can you show me how to setup both wired and wireless on mesh portal IAP135? use Ethernet Port 1 to broadcast wifi access on portal IAP or Point IAP?

Thanks and Best Regards.

Hi,

Hi,

*First it's recommend for u to upgrade your iAP units to the lastest OS version*

*Mesh is enabled automatically in IAP units with dual radio/when there is no LAN connectivity . (Via the 5GHZ radio)*

Do some reading over here: ( an old post with answers from me and other AirHeads dudes):

I have configured this at our office for wired users which you suggested.

Please refer my attached logical diagram.

I want to add 1x IAP135 at Building 2 for wireless users.

Is it possible that connecting to Mesh point Poe switch to setup wireless for wifi users, pls refer my attached diagram?

Thanks.

As far as i aware, It's possible - you just need to be sure that your new iAP can connect your VC(Virtual controller) via your POE switch (establish communications via lan/vlan - in the same segment(s) that your VC is) in the 2nd building , if so - it will work.

I have used Eth0 port for wired users on Mesh Portal IAP-1.

So i have to configure Mesh portal IAP-1 port Eth1 for wireless users, right?

so that, new IAP will able to broadcast the wifi access.

please advise.

Thanks for your help.

It's supposed to do it..Again if it will be able to connect your VC via this vlan.
