Re: [wireless] WRT54G & WUSB54G Connection Problems On the Properties screen for your preferred network, go to the Authentication Tab and uncheck "Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network". When you are using an Open or Shared (WEP) network, this option is not necessary and will result in the auto-disconnect problem every few minutes, if left enabled.

Richard's suggestion fixed my intermittent disconnects as well. However, I seem to have the same problem as one of the other posters in that my speed on the network is at 1MB. Signal strength is good and I've tried changing channels and dang near everything under the sun on the WAP and USB NIC, but can't seem to get it any higher. When I first hooked it up it ran fine at nearly full speed. |
|
| Well, I was finally able to get over to look at the machine and was able to fix it. What I did was plug the USB NIC into a different USB port. Don't know why it flaked out since it was working at full speed previously in the original port. |

I have exactly the same problem and likewise my WUSB54G was connecting at full speed when it was first set up. It now sits at 1Mbps and won't go any higher.
Grrrr. It's so frustrating, my Laptop is connecting at 54Mbps no problem.
Also has anyone had a problem setting up a "profile" for the WUSB54G? The WLAN Monitor version I've got is 1.05 which seems to be the latest and was what came in the box. The profile tab is there, it's just not clickable.
Any ideas anyone...?? |

| Hi, I got the 1Mbps problem fixed (of a fashion) I've added the details to another thread on this site.
The short and curlies is to reinstall but don't install the WLAN Monitor. It sucks... just install the driver.
You'll be stuck with channel 6 tho.
Anyone know how to change the channel used without the WLAN Monitor util???

You change channels through your router, not the card. |

I have a DLink router and previously used a laptop with a DLink wireless network card, no problems at all.
My new laptop is a Dell with built in Dell card (still using the old DLink router) and I am now getting the same drop out every few minutes problems as reported here. So I'm pretty sure this isn't a Linksys problem. Also, I do not have any competing networks - the only one around is my own.
I seem to have fixed the problem by taking rickardg's advice ... uncheck "Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network".
Everything seems fine now, thanks Richard.

Thanks, that helped me too. I did find that although I unchecked before restart, when I restarted and checked properties in local area connection, it was checked on again... Does that make any sense? |

Beaverton, OR | When using WPA it doesn't seem to allow me to uncheck the "Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network" option but I have not had any disconnects (which I was suffering from at the most maddening times) since re-enabling "Broadcast SSID".
Hopefully I won't find my problems returning.  |

Re: [wireless] WRT54G & WUSB54G-"It's XP!!" -WIRED »www.wired.com/news/technology/0,···techhead
Wired reports this problem is endemic to XP!!!!!!!
Here are the symptoms of the problem: A Wi-Fi-enabled computer running Windows XP is working fine one minute, pulling up Web pages and processing e-mail. Then, for no reason, the connection drops, websites fail to come up and the e-mail flow stops. The small wireless connection icon in the taskbar says the signal from the access point is strong, so the problem isn't that the user wandered out of radio range. The icon even shows that the computer's Wi-Fi hardware is sending information to the access point -- it's just not getting anything back. And manual attempts to re-establish the connection through XP's built-in wireless configuration tool won't do the trick. Even more bizarre, the connection sometimes comes back on its own.
To some, the most infuriating part is that the wireless network connection icon in the XP taskbar doesn't display any indication at all that something's wrong. When there is a genuine hardware failure, the icon displays a small red X to indicate that the connection was lost. But with these mysterious disconnections, the icon continues to show a connection |
