Hi all,
I just upgraded to the 10.5.0.0 drivers for XP today from 9.x, to deal
with the security issues recently discovered in the old drivers. Since
upgrading, my laptop will connect to the AP (Linksys WAP54G, firmware
version 3.04), but every 10 seconds or so it will lose the connection
and reassociate. The gap between the reconnections is very regular.
After a while of this I get a couple of minutes of uptime, but then the
cycle repeats.
The only thing that had changed in my network configuration is the
laptop's driver version. But I've since tried tweaking power
management, preamble mode and making sure WZC is disabled on the
laptop, and messing with the AP's settings (beacon interval was already
at 25ms, down from the default 100) - all to no avail.
This is extremely frustrating - can anyone suggest anything?
Many thanks.
Do you have any competing wireless networks in your immediate area. If so,
use the exclude feature of the software so that your wireless card won't
attempt to connect to them. Also, you can configure the software to where
your card will only associate with your AP/Wireless router. Furthermore,
after upgrading to version 10.5, did you reboot your devices? If not,
reboot the cable/DSL modem, the AP/wireless router and then your notebook
computer. Oftentimes, that is all it take. Take care.
