kudos:1 | not on my PC does anybody use or run the CD that comes with the router anyway?
I have setup numerous wireless routers and find it alot easier to set them up and turn on security then to run the installation disk.
Also the article states that the "LELA" will install automatically, what if I dont want it to install, is there an option to not install it?

| I think this takes the place of the ADMIN management console webpage.....
...There is no need for a separate installation of the network management tool. During installation, the user is asked to name the new network. No additional passwords or confusing networking terms are required after this step has been completed, eliminating up to 15 configuration choices from the installation process...

My experience with the CD that I got with the BEFW11S4 and then the WRT54GS (version 1) was the same, it did not work.
I followed their instructions, but in every case I kept getting the same message that I was not connected to the internet (PC cabled to router, router to cable modem, cable modem to cable jack).
Of course I could easily get to Yahoo or any other website, so the CDs were essentially useless. Really did not need them anyway, but I have always wondered what was on them. They may as well not bother with the CD and cut costs.
I have flashed the WRT54GS with 3rd party software numerous times and it has never bricked. I've had it for almost 3 years now.
I use WPA2 Personal TKIP+AES with a 63 character WPA shared key, totally non-dictionary.
The home desktop is wired and I run 802.11G to my work laptop and my Daughters laptop, never had any issues with speed, dropouts, etc. I did add the Linksys Hi-Gain antennas. |
