It does not even allow that. It accepts an SSID and then either no security, WEP or WPA and a password. No manual IP address. It does not accept any incoming requests - all it does is to connect to some cloud service for interaction with mobile devices. The only good thing about that is that the...

No it wouldn't even get an IP address. There would be nothing in the log on that WAP581.It was one of the wireless network settings like WMF, Band Steer, PMF, etc. But which one I don't remember. Everything worked but this single device. I found some info in a forum on it and other people had a...

Getting rid of it right now is not an option. I bought it because the crappy wifi in the temperature control system in my apartment would not connect to the WAP581 when I enabled setting X ... where X is a setting in the AP that I have forgotten (obviously I should have written it down). It...

Here is the consumption for the past 24h: Here are the devices: (GE7 is an old WAP121 dealing with some special devices) And here are the sums: I assume that consumed power is actually total reserved power and not what is being used right now. Because it stays at 107W all the time even...

WAP581s continued: Two of the APs have sequential serial numbers. I have a 180W HP PoE switch that I am not using because of fan-noise. I will try that. As for switching from Cat 7 to 6a that will be a very large task. I am fairly confident when it comes to my cables as they allow me to...

Weird. Here the spec on the SG350-10MP says 124W: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/small-business-smart-switches/data-sheet-c78-737359.html And later: Here is the switch: And the POE event counters which indicates no overload events: All of the APs are...

I use a Cisco SG350-10MP PoE switch that is capable of delivering 124W. The WAP581's are specified at 18W peak power. It looks like peak power usage is 18-22W depending on which access point I am looking at (it is odd that the APs with the longest cables use the least power but perhaps Tx power...

I currently have a rather complex network with a pfSense router, multiple switches (including PoE+), 4xCisco WAP581 APs, 6 VLANs and everything wired with CAT7 cables. We are 7 people that uses the network heavily. In addition we have about 100 devices on the network. The Cisco APs have never...

I have had OpenVPN working for a long time. Then after applying 380.63_2, it no longer works. I then tried to apply 380.64_beta1 but no luck there either. After returning to 380.62_1 (no other changes) it works again. Problem #1: When connecting to the router from a client, everything seems to...

I have been playing around with configuring vlans to get the same effect (and a lot more). I don't have anything final (it requires a complete replanning of my existing network), but by creating multiple vlans it seems possible to have the firewall controlling access between the different vlans...

I was hoping to avoid having to buy additional hardware – thus having the router being the layer 3 switch. I was kind of hoping that by manipulation of the iptables in the router, I could ensure that only some bridges (vlans) would be forwarded to the various processes running in the router...

I am experimenting with segregating my LAN into VLANs. I have two RT-AC68U running merlin – one used as gateway and one as access point. In addition, I have a couple of servers and managed switches that supports VLAN. My RT-AC68U gateway is routing between the VLANs One of the goals is to move...
