Hi,
I have a D-Link DI-624 on an NTL cable link.
Firmware Version 2.53.
I am having problems using WEP with older 802.11b cards.
I can use 802.11g and WPA-PSK with my Ralink RT2500 Wireless LAN Card - however this keeps dropping the link and I understand this is a known fault with Ralink and WPA-PSK.
I have a couple of 802.11b devices - an iPaq with a Compaq WL110 Wireless PC card (PCMCIA) and a PC running Windows XP Home with an Actiontec 802UAT1 USB adapter (just downloaded the latest drivers).
Neither the Compaq nor the Actiontec can connect using 128 bit WEP.
The Ralink seems fine using 128bit WEP, but reports a WEP error on the 'Link Status' tab.
I can connect the Compaq if I turn off encryption (so the router is falling back to 802.11b) but it doesn't seem to connect if I configure WEP.
I have also tried (40)64 bit WEP but this doesn't seem to make any difference.
Are there known problems in falling back to 802.11b when using WEP with this router?
TIA
Dave R
