I am having a problem with this router. My WRT54G died after 3 years and so I went down to staples and bought this 150N. My only wireless clients are a macbook and a Wii. I didn't even set the Wii up for it yet, so just the macbook so far.
I installed DD-WRT, no problems. I just left everything at default for now, and tried to connect to the dd-wrt AP. I connected fine, but then the connection would drop every so often. I didn't think anything of it, and started to set up the router, and for WiFi, I usually use WPA2 and MAC filter to allow only the MAC addresses I specify. Now I can't even connect to the AP, or it will connect but drop almost immediately. But it still shows up.
My question is, where/how do I begin to narrow down the problem? The router is basically useless without WiFi, as my GF is getting a bit pissed about using someone else's unsecured network, and having it drop occasionally when she's doing something, due to signal loss.
Any ideas on figuring out what this is? Sound like just a bad router? everything else works fine, other that WiFi, and like I said, the AP shows up, so the antenna/radio whatever is "working" to some degree.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
