CISCO WAP4410N Problems
I have replaced two linksys WAPs to new 2 Small business CISCO WAP4410N, Then I have tried to connect Our wireless D-link printer servers devices to the CISCO WAPs but after I have done site on survey on the available Wireless networks form the D-link wireless printer server, There is no any available wireless networks that the printer server is detecting.
Before the D-link wireless printer server was able to find and detect Linksys WAPs so that to connect the printer server to the WAP so kindly help me to solve this issue

The WAPs are running in two different channels ells (12,9 channel) and both of them are 2.4GHZ.
My wireless printer server is able to understand both 5GHZ,2.4 GHZ

I meant the old WAPs vs. the new WAPs w.r.t. channels.
Depending on country settings the allowed channel set may vary and some channels are blocked. The BSS is announced?

The old WAPs were running on Chanel (1,7) , my country didn't block any Chanel,
To be honest it's more like there are global channels and some countries allow Extra channels.
Does a regular laptop see the stations? How good is the signal around the printers?
Did you use the right firmware for the WAP.
There have been issues with some firmware versions.
And you might need to go to firmware dating 2/3 years back.

the regular laptops are discovering the new WAPS with excellent signal .
see The wiress printer server that I need to connect to the WAPs http://www.dlink.com/us/en/support/product/dpr-1040-wireless-g-multifunctional-print-server-10-100mbs-1-usb-port
The firmware for the WAPs are the default and old so do I need to upgrade to see any improvement.

Mine was delivered with 2.0.3.3 that didn't work well, i then upgraded to 2.0.4.2 ditto.
Then i downgraded to 2.0.2.1 which worked. These old versions have issues with N-mode.
Currently i run 2.0.5.3 which seems to work.

I have upgraded to 2.0.5.3 that didn't work well, then I downgraded to 2.0.4.2 that worked and I can discover the APs in the wireless printer server, but when I connect the printer server to the AP the configuration is not taking affect despite my rebooting the printer server in several times so kindly which firmware version can you recommend.

Dea NOCI,
Thanks for the explanatory,
I have tested all versions, with 2.0.5.3 it has issues with N clients when used B/G Mixed mode then.. I downgraded to 2.0.4.2 that has good performance.

Also some WAPs (not exactly sure for this model) can send both 2 & 5 Mhz bandwidth. But does your printer understand both? Are both configured?
