    AsRock, ASUS or ECS? Z68 is not an option! :(

    Same. Might have been the same model, I don't remember, but it was an Asus XP board... after two DOAs I got one that would post then had nothing but problems with it. Finally sold it and bought an MSI as a replacement. Been using an ECS the last 4 years without a problem. This time around I've...

    How do I setup a router as an access point?

    That helps quite a bit. I guess it was a good thing it was broken, although most of my neighbors call me if their mouse comes unplugged so they aren't likely to break any encryption.

    How do I setup a router as an access point?

    Heh, well I'm definitely a networking amateur (if that) and I used WEP because it was used in the documentation.

    How do I setup a router as an access point?

    SUCCESS! Turns out the first problem was the antenna settings were not on the recommended settings by default. Same with CTS Protection Mode. The WEP issue is a bug in v.24 sp1 that has been around for months but the documentation hasn't caught up. I circumvented the problem by using WPA...

    How do I setup a router as an access point?

    Thanks. It got lost in the shuffle but I had mentioned it wasn't working with security off. But. It appears to be working now. I changed the ssid of both devices (although they were the same before), double and triple checked all settings, rebooted both and now it is working, sans...

    How do I setup a router as an access point?

    router = dlink di-524 bridge is = linksys WRT54GL w/ dd-wrt.v24_mini_generic.bin I've switched it on and off a number of times. When the bridge is connected with a cable I can connect to it through my router but I cannot connect wirelessly. Should I be able to ping the bridge wireless...

    How do I setup a router as an access point?

    Okay, the flash went fine and I followed the instructions to the letter but its a no-go - nothing connected to the bridge will connect to the internet. Disabled security to eliminate that variable but no effect. Been googling and reading but I'm not finding any additional information. There...

    How do I setup a router as an access point?

    Thanks, I know what I want to do but I'm not sure on exactly how to get there. edit: okay, reading that link it looks like I want an independent bridge. My computer, cable modem and D-link wireless router are in room A. My xbox360 and other stuff are in room B. So I need to connect the...

    How do I setup a router as an access point?

    I have an Linksys WRT54GL and an older D-Link Di-524, both are wireless. I need to setup an access point in another room for my 360 and stuff. Can I do this with the Linksys, do I need to flash the firmware? Not sure how to do this.

    URGENT: Dell Vostro 1500 or 1000?

    Also looking at this. It is worth the $30 upgrade for the 6 cell battery?
