  • Hi folks.

    Edited with updated info.

    I have a network with 9 Cisco 1242AG AP's, no controller. 6 of the AP's are on the wire, 3 configured as repeaters.

    Clients authenticate, but don't pick up IP addresses from the DHCP server when attaching to the repeaters.

    I have done some more research - this appears only to happen from the repeaters.

    I ran wireshark on the server and the client, when associating to the AP all is fine, the repeater it doesn't get an address.

    With a fixed address, it works, and I can see from the access point that the repeater is associated to the root AP.

    Does anyone have any ideas ?

  • I don't know why you are having the problem but I do have a solution.

    Install Motorola 7131's and use mesh mode. Done. :)


    I'll think about the problem with the Ciscos. If I get time (sorry, I'm laughing inside) I'll set up my 1200's in repeater mode and see what I can find.

  • Thanks Gene.

    Upgrades not an option, we are going to install a controller and change them to Light.


    You may be laughing now, you will be roaring when I tell you that I might not be able to make the trip to the Caribbean to install them so might be looking for a volunteer to spend a week on a luxury yacht in St Baths.

    Was that your hand being raised ? :P

    Neil,

    You know I do yacht in the Caribbean stuff all the time so that is old news... but... if you need me, I'll do it, but only because I like you. :) LOL!!!

    Now, I'm laughing (at my own joke) for sure... :)

  • Hi, Kevin.

    Didn't think you would want to dust off those old crimpers once again ?
