Channel Issue with LinkSys WPC54GS

Feb 26, 2005 1 Replies

New laptop with windows 2000. No matter what channel the adapter is set



to when I log on, the adapter says it connects to the access point but



not the internet. Changing the channel in the device manager



automatically fixes the issue. I have been using channels 6 and 11...



when it is set to channel 6 at login, I switch to 11 and it connects to



the network...if it is set to 11, i switch to 6 and it connects.


Any ideas?


Thanks,



Tym


The channel you use is controlled by the Router/Access Point you set the channel with the router and the NIC finds the SSDI and uses the same Channel. If you are connecting with a different channel are you sure you are connecting to your network and not your neighbors.
