I'm hoping someone here can help me with this problem. I'm trying to
figure out why my wireless connection occasionally timeouts, and I can't
tell if the WUSB54G or the WRV54G is at fault. I'm using WPA-PSK with TKIP
encryption. This is what my router is using under Advanced Wireless
Settings:
Authentication Type: Open System
CTS Protection Mode: Auto
Basic Data Rates: All(1-2-5.5-6-11-24)
Control Tx Rates: Auto
Beacon Interval: 100
DTIM Interval: 1
RTS Threshold: 2346
Fragmentation Threshold: 2346
My goal is to use the wireless AP with encryption, so turning it off is not
an option. Right now I'm using a CAT5 cable to the router, and it has
worked perfectly. This leads me to believe that the WUSB54G could be at
fault. Approximately every 30 seconds the WUSB54G will completely stop
transmitting (its link light completely goes out, but the power light
remains lit), then it will continue as normal until it stops transmitting
again. There are no other WAPs in the neighborhood. One thing I noticed
is that the RTS Threshold for the router and the WUSB54G didn't match, so I
changed the router to match the client, both at 2346. This didn't help as
the timeouts still persists, and it's most annoying during games and voice
chats. The WUSB54G has the latest XP driver, and the WRV54G has the latest
firmware. Any ideas? --Jago
