MN-720 (Wireless kit) connected to a NEC Versa laptop.
Replaced a D-Link Broadband router, Linksys 802.11b AP,
and Linksys 802.11b PCMCIA with supplied MN-700 router/AP,
MN-720 PCMCIA. Running static IPs on both the wired and
wireless sides. 'Excellent' connection, 54G Performance,
Channel 11.
Wired side: no issues.
Wireless side: Internet connection, LAN connection to
other machines, no issue.
Issue:
While transferring a file between wired/wireless machines,
notebook locks up. No mouse, no keyboard, nothing.
Requires a hard reset. Approx. 30 MB of a file will
transfer before the lockup occurs.
I've spent the better part of the day on it, and now I
have determined that it is worth an extra $50 to buy
something else. I suggest that anyone considering buying
the 'kit' reconsider.
I've tried 4 channels, mixed b compatible, position of
laptop/base unit, security changes, etc. Going back to
the 802.11b PCMCIA allows files to transfer without lockup.
Conclusion: driver for the g Card not suppoting my
laptop.
Outcome: guess
