Hi *, I experienced some strange behaviour of my WMP54-GS-PCI-Card when using it on WinXP in conjunczion with a WRT54-GS Router. After running for some days, the card looses the connection to the router, the tray-icon shows 'disabled'. When looking at the WinXP-wireless-networks I'm still seeing my home-wlan with the correct SSID, but when trying to manually reconnect it just fails. The status-led of the pci-card still remains dark - no network activity can be noticed. Only rebooting the PC helps to reconnect, after this reboot the networking is back and working again - at least for the next few days btw: I'm using the WinXP-WZC with WPA-PSK AES, not the linksys-software... Can anyone help me, is there anyone who encounters the same problem or are there any hints fix this issue? best regards, moh0815
Check the default selections for the WMP54-GS-PCI-Card hardware. Go to Control Panel, System, Hardware, Device Manager, highlite your card (network adapter), right click, properties, Advanced. Then go through and make sure everything is set ok. If WME is enabled, try disabled.
Hi, there are the settings which I'm currently using (not changed anything): Antenna Diversity: AUTO AP Compatibility Mode: Higher Performance Bluetooth Collaboration: Disable BSS PLCP Header: Auto (Short/Long) Fragmentation Treshold: 2346 IBSS 54g(tm) Mode: 802.11b only IBSS 54g(tm) Protection Mode: Auto IBSS 54g(tm) Link Indication: Default Locally Administered MAC-address: n/a Location: Default Minimum Power Consumption: Enabled Power Output: 100% Power Safe Mode: Disabled Radio Enable/Disable: Enabled Rate: Use best rate Roam Tendency: Moderate Roaming Decision: Default RTS Treshold: 2347 SpeedBooster: Enabled WME: Disabled WZC Managed Ethernet: Disabled XPress (TM) Technology: Enabled Some additional infos: Driver Version: 3.100.46.0 802.11g only network Does it look ok? btw: Is there any kind of information for all this options? <edit> And what is 'IBSS'? As you can see it's set to 802.11b only mode - is this correct for 11g-only networks like mine? </edit> Thanks & Regards moh0815
If you only have 11g only networks, change the setting to reflect that. Everything looks like I have it set on mine except "WZC Managed Ethernet", which I have enabled. Pharma
I had the same problems. Try using the newest Broadcom drivers (get them here My card runs without any drop outs or disconnects now. Just as it should be! I hope it'll save your day, too!
