Re: Looking for the Common Thread in router problems

i understans the common thread model. but isn't that like a stitch in time saves nine. Or, look before you leap.

think people that threads come in many varieties. Clothes, CPU Multitasking, sewing, Lines of code Etc. Etc.

I agree - look before you leap BUT - many will find that PnP is killing them - add in WPA and well - you see the posts... The specs for PnP allow vendors to do their own things - without concern for inter-operability. I have not read the WPA specs carefully but I am sure Microsofts implementation does not always play with vender 'xyz' implementation....

Just trying to get folks to see that if you dont need it - turn it off.

If there are specific port forward requirements - forward them - dont use PnP.... If there is a home security requirement - use MAC filtering - do't screw around with WPA...

Mac's are easily spoofed. And unencrypted data can still be intercepted, whether the interceptor is on your network or not. Yes, do use MAC filtering, but WITH, not in place of, encryption.

So far, I've had no problems using WPA on my WRT54G. I did have one computer that wanted to disconnect upon user logoff, but following the advice in the wrt54g disconnection thread about the "AuthMode" registry edit seems to have taken care of that.
