IPAQ with Cisco 340 wireless LAN adapter

WOUTER SCHOONEES · ‎05-10-2002

I have 2 x Cisco 340 AP's and a IPAQ Pocket PC with a 340 Wireless LAN Card. I downloaded the driver and utilities from Cisco's site and installed them. All is working well, but the utilities I downloaded does not provide the option to choose which AP and wireless LAN to use when it is connecting. It will choose the first connection available. Does any body know of other utils or a fix for this.

Thanks

That should be working in a future driver/utilities release.

Can I ask why you want to do this?

The client should automatically choose the "best" AP based on a complex algorithm that evaluates the signal strengh, the number of users currently associated, and other factors.

You could break the network into 2 by using seperate SSIDs if you really wanted to, but then you would not be able to roam from one AP to another.
