Hello,
Has a similiar but different issue setting up netopia router for sister's broadband. Basically the wireless was enabled, but settings on box was set to manual. I set for automatic WEP security, and to hid the SID on the network. It gave me the encription key, whoich I configured 2 laptops for. Everything worked fine for couple of hours, but the DSL link kept dropping, only recourse was to restart the router. This kept happening ever few hours, even with just the desktop pc phyiscally plugged into the router and no laptops active, the whole line would drop. Went like this for 2 - 3 days. As they were not happy with the connection dropping at random, I undid the wep and hid ssid, and teh dsl link has not dropped since.
Found strange, this was 2 weeks ago and they have been using the desktop cabled to the router every day no problem, so have to go back at some stage to investigate more.
Anyone any ideas on this would be great, will be a week or two before I can make any changes on it as she lives in a different county.  |
