A neighbor just bought a USR 8054 (router + USR5410 cards) from Tiger,
and couldn't get it working for the wireless.
I brought over one of my laptops with Netstumbler
and found that the USR 8054 was sending out WEP status.
I thought it would be an easy fix - 2hrs later - I gave up.
The WEP setting on the router showed "disable",
but yet Netstumbler and may card's status software was showing WEP
active...
Tried to set WEP up with a key - but could not get it to work.
We filled in 1 of the 4 slots with "mikey" and also set the laotp - no
go -
Every so often his desktop, which was hardwired to the router
would show "cable unplugged"
or my laptop showed "wireless disconnect"
and the router leds would blink and I'm guessing be rebooting.
Our wireless laptop would never get connected to the network,
but did show a wireless connection to the AP side.
What a mystery -
reboots ?,
WEP enabled regardless of WEP settings ?
trying to setup WEP and it still doesn't work ?
and just general flakey response.
Unfortunately, after 2hrs of weirdness... we had to leave -
