What am I doing wrong? I have configured a blank 857w with the config described here:

However I get an error when I no shut the Dot11Radio0 interface

config and sh outputs below.

thanks

I ran your chages before and after thru a diff, see the attached for the differences. With the explanations on the URL you started with, you will get a very good idea on what the commands do.

Roger,

You have missed quite alot of the config out:-

On the attached link you supplied - you must also configure:-

- Configure Bridging on VLANs

- Configure Radio Station Subinterfaces

look at the config example at the bottom of the page.

HTH.

I have done a bit more and the Dot11Radio has come up but I still can't see it when I look for wireless networks?

Is the CLI the best way to configure wireless? Are there any troubleshooting commands I can use..

I have resolved my issue with a much simpler config - listed below - still trying to work out what was missing with the above.
