Wireless on Cisco 877

So this is my first post :)) here.

In this post, I gonna show how to set up a wireless network through the CLI on a Cisco 870 series router

Today I configured my Cisco 877W for wireless support. Before I used my WRT54cl v.1.1 with DD-WRT on it for my wireless access @ home. Today that’s gonna change.


*Note that I downgraded my IOS first because the c870-advipservicesk9-mz.124-22.t got problems
The System image file I used is “flash:c870-advipservicesk9-mz.124-15.t3.bin”

Here comes the working config:

#
dot11 ssid STARGATE
vlan 20
authentication open
authentication key-management wpa
guest-mode // otherwise its not visible
wpa-psk ascii 0 PASSWORD
!
!
ip dhcp excluded-address 10.10.20.1
!
ip dhcp pool WIRELESS
network 10.10.20.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 10.10.20.1
dns-server 208.67.222.222 8.8.8.8
!
interface Dot11Radio0
no ip address
!
encryption VLAN 20 mode ciphers tkip // U can also use another encryption typ like aes-ccm

!
SSID STARGATE
!
speed basic-1.0 basic-2.0 basic-5.5 6.0 9.0 basic-11.0 12.0 18.0 24.0 36.0 48.0 54.0
channel least-congested 2412 2442 2462
station-role root
no cdp enable
!
interface Dot11Radio0.1
description WIRELESS_VLAN_20
encapsulation dot1Q 20
ip address 10.10.20.1 255.255.255.0
ip nat inside // Dont forget this when u use nat
ip virtual-reassembly
no cdp enable
!

Then verify your config, a working wireless connection through the Cisco 877w Router.
