Please log in for more thread options WEP as my security measure. I recently got a new laptop that has Intel 4965AGN wireless card. In order to get Wireless-N on this card it must use WPA-APS or higher. Eventhough my router would support WPA, I have 2 TiVos that only support WEP. Other than buying new adapters for my TiVos (not the most economic investiment), is there a way to configure my router to use WEP for the two TiVos and WPA for the PCs? | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Any of the routers that support more than one SSID will do the trick. I use Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 or Linksys WRT54G with Linksys DD-WRT v24 firmware, which supports up to 16 (???) SSID's, each with their own independent encryption methods. <http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/3710791>
Note that pages 2-3 are for reconfiguring the VLAN's so that computers
<http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/3714521> that are on different SSID's cannot see each other. If you don't care about this isolation feature, then none of the iptables tweaking is required. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Thank you very much. I upgraded my firmware to DD-WRT and it works
like magic. I now have 2 SSID on my router, one running WPA2 and one running WEP. Only problem: I used to be able to get about 270Mbps for my Wireless- N. But Now I can't seem to get more than 103Mbps. Did you have this problem? Can you shed some light on why this happens? Thanks! > wrote:

What hardware version do you have? 1.0, 1.1, or 2.0?
"(As of July, 2007) WRT300N version 1.1 or 2 is NOT supported." Is this the version you downloaded? <http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/v24/Broadcom/Linksys/WRT300N_v1/dd-wrt.v24_mini_wrt300n.bin>
Note that it's the "mini" version, which lacks some features.
It appears (i.e. my guess) that DD-WRT does not support modes faster than Afterburner (about 108Mbits/sec). I ran into the same problem with the WRT600N. It wouldn't work on the 5.7GHz 802.11a channels and wouldn't do MIMO speeds. You might ask the same question in the DD-WRT Forums (under Broadcom): <http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=1>

Please log in for more thread options Hi! Thank you again.
I have version 1.0. I upgraded to mini. I originally also upgraded from mini to std. However, I found std rather unstable. My router would reboot for no reason and saving and apply settings often hang the web UI. The only feature in std that I am interested in that mini does not have was Mac Filtering. However, I also found Mac Filtering did not work for the viturals. So I figured I'd stay with mini. OK, I will go check the DD-WRT forums. Thanks again! You have been great help! > wrote:
