I upgraded my aironet to the 12.4 firmware and things went haywire, but only concerning the wireless interface settings seemed to be effected. after some poking around the telnet CLI I was able to configure the radios to be up. After I did that I was able to turn them off and on through the web interface, as well as set different settings.
I then tried setting up an SSID, but there is no <NEW> line or a preset entry like tsunami, and it wouldn't save the settings when I clicked apply. so I went back to the CLI and did the following:
[code]AP# configure terminal
AP(config)# dot11 ssid batman
AP(config-ssid)# exit
AP(config)# interface dot11radio 0
AP(config-if)# ssid batman
AP(config-if)# end
AP#copy running-config startup-config
[/code]
when I do
[code]AP# show running-config ssid batman[/code]
it shows that radio0 is assigned batman, but if i refresh the ssid page, there still isn't a batman SSID set and scanning surrounding ssids dosen't show batman.
The curious thing is that a lot of the settings that I couldn't set like the host name and radio settings worked as soon as I defined them in the CLI. I'm guessing that that means that 12.4 is nerfed.
any help would be appreciated.
here are some error lines from the serial out after a restore to defaults
When I try to enable radio0: NO_SSID_OR_NO_VLAN: No SSID configured. Dot11Radio1 not started.

give this a try and let me knwo if you still need any more help. Please remember to remove my little notes before copying everything to the AP. Also, in case you were aware, you can actually copy and paste the entire config unto your AP. Simply copy your current running config, add the necessary command lines and put 'no' in front of any lines that are no longer required. You then login to the AP and go into privilege exec mode. write click and 'paste to host'.

I'm not really sure what going on there. Here are a few steps I would suggest to troubleshoot.
1. Download the newest IOS from the Cisco http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/go/PlatformList.x?sftType=IOS+Software&mdfid=279537722&treeName=Wireless&mdfLevel=Model&url=null&modelName=Cisco+Aironet+1130+AG+Access+Point&isPlatform=N&treeMdfId=278875243&modifmdfid=null&imname=&hybrid=Y&imst=N
2. Flash the AP with the newest IOS and reset the unit by holding the reset button while plugging the power in.
3. If you're copying and pasting the config unto the AP, remove the 'Version 12.3' entry at the top.
4. I noticed that you're attempting to configure both WEP and WPA simultaneously. I would suggest attempting one type of authentication first (I prefer WPA since it's so much cleaner).
5. You seem to be having issues with the defualt http site; Try using the secure site and see if makes a difference. Just enable (ip http secure-server).
For your convenience, I've included a test config below, using just WPA. Give it a whirl and let me know how it goes. Please remember to go through the code and remove any comments I've put in.

Thank you for the points. Sorry I wasn't able to solve your problem for you. Were you able to get it running at all with the steps I gave you above? Please let me know the results I will try to test it out for you in a few days, as I do not currently have an AP to test it on.

I have a cisco wireless router RV220W and an Cisco aironet 1041 AP.
I configure the AP as repeater. The distance between the AP and Router is 20 Mtr. The problem is that the repeater don't extend the radio signal.
Below you can find my config file.
Can somebody help me with this issue??

From the looks on the config above, it doesn't seem as if you have any encryption or authentication configured. For the network to be extended, you need to make sure that your configured encryption and authentication on the AP, directly matches the settings on your RV220W. If you can post the config from the RV220W, maybe I can help you get this up and running.
Thanks!

I had the same problem as you. I was able to resolve it, using Internet Explorer (with mozilla didn´t appear the word NEW in SSID).
Bye.

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.
