I just got a Cisco Aironet 1130 AP setup. I got the basic TKIP WPA PSK setup on A and G band.

MY question is this, assuming my clients have dual band compliant cards, is there a way to get them to connect at 108 Mbp/s. I have seen this happen in other places. I am not sure if this is a proprietary technology or if maybe I am just not setting things up right. My client has a Dell (broadcom) dual band NIC.
 
I have an 1130 also. There's no way to do this that I'm aware of. Typically, if I'm not mistaken, the 108mbps, or Speedbooster (as linksys calls it), requires the NICs and APs to be from the same vendor to use whatever proprietary technology they have for that.

Not sure if its possible on the 1130.

Do you know if the aironet NICs will allow this? It is so hard to find stuff on google any more, all you get is places trying to sell you a 1130 :( .
 
I don't think its possible at all, even if you had a Cisco NIC in your machine. I did some searching around Cisco.com and can't find any mention of anything like this. Sorry but I think you're stuck with just using a single radio at 54mbps.

Arg, not a big deal all and all, just wanted to make use out of the other radio.
 
108Mb+ is a Draft N (or Pre-N) thing. It's not included in A or G. When N is finalized expect new Cisco hardware to support it (won't be published 'til spring '09).

Any chance you could send me your config? I have a laptop that is giving this thing hell. It keeps dropping with bad authentication even thought its for sure the right WPA key. I have 2 other laptops that are working fine with it. I don't think I setup the TKIP encryption right cause my clients are saying TKIP (key absent). I assume you are just doing basic WPA PSK?
 
Most vendor cards will only connect with either their A or G compnonent, not both at the same time. If you had 2 cards, one G and one A you could connect them both at the same time to the 1130.
 
Sure, here's my config. I'm only using the G radio right now. I'm set up for WPA and WPA2 with TKIP or AES encryption.
