To all:
I was wondering if you might be able to help me with connecting a
Toshiba laptop with a Linksys WPC11 card to a D-Link DI-624 Access
Point. The WPC11 seems to work okay with access points I find at
random access points in NYC (Starbucks/T-mobile, NYC Wireless, others)
but I can't even get the WPC11 card to SEE the DI-624. It's not as if
the DI-624 has a weak signal when I try to connect from the
Toshiba...there is no signal at all!
The DI-624 can be set to run only 802.11g, but according to the router
admin setup, is set to run 802.11b as well--at least in theory.
We have tried contacting both Linksys and D-Link support but to no
avail. Linksys support suggested changing the channel on the DI-624,
but we were not able to even change the channel.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Or should I go out and get a
802.11b/802.11g card (and for that matter, a D-Link card)? Any help
would be appreciated...Thanks,
J
