WAP11 Ver 1.1 & 2.2 - bridging & WEP problemsI'm having some problems getting bridging to work with the old ver 1.1 WAP11s and the new ver 2.2 WAP11s when WEP is enabled. I currently have 3 of the ver 1.1 and 2 of the ver 2.2. The 3 ver 1.1 have been flashed with the latest firmware from the linksys site.
I've been successful in getting all 3 ver 1.1 to talk in multi-point briding and I've also been succesful with the two ver 2.2 in bridging mode. I can also have a mix of ver 1.1 and 2.2 communication in multi-point bridging mode as long as WEP is disabled. When I enable WEP they won't talk.
The last test had a ver 2.2 as the multi-point and one ver 2.2 as a point and one ver 1.1 as a point. Everything worked till I turned on WEP, then only the ver 2.2 devices could talk, the ver 1.1 was left out in the cold. I tried both WEP64 and WEP128, didn't make a difference. I'm also sure it's not a typo in the WEB key because it's all zeros.
Has anyone been successful in performing bridging between older ver 1.1 and newer ver 2.2 WAP11s with WEB enabled?
Thanks, Kevin |

What firmware are you running with the new WAPs 2.2? |
|
| |
The ver 2.2 are 1.009 and the ver 1.1 are 1.4i.1 |

A dumb question, maybe, but have you tried anything other than zero in case one of the devices sees that as an invalid value? You were wise to use something simple to eliminate data entry problems, just curious if all ones would behave in the same way. |

Yeah, I also tried all 1's and I got the same response. The ver 2.2 could talk, but not the v 1.1. |

I warned you that it might be dumb, but I had to ask. |

yep, have couple of each - have set a 1.1 as multi, the 2.2 as point to point, and using 128 wep, bridging is working - not too far, about 40' inside my house - have some coax/antennas on order tho - working on a 3.2 mile bridge from office to home.
