Hello,
So I got the Asus 520GU router, and flashed DD-wrt onto it. It works, and I am typing on it right now.
I enabled WPA2-personal and AES, and it works fine on my mac. However, on my SP3 toshiba laptop, no connectivity... I then set it to AES+TKIP, as some claimed that this would make it work. XP recognizes that the connection is WPA2, and queries me for my code, but it never actually finishes acquiring a network address.
My guess is that the drivers for the network card are not allowing correct connectivity.
So, what is my best bet? Do I do WPA2 personal mixed-mode? This supposedly allows WPA connections on, and enables greater connectivity with all sorts of devices, but doesn't this just re-open a security issue on my router?
I'll have to verify also on other pieces of equipment, but what is the best bet given this apparent issue? I can use hardwire when the computers are in the room with the router, but this limits portability.
Any suggestions or comments?
THanks!
on another note, with this G router, I am able to turn output power down to 25 mW from the default 70, and still have a real strong signal everywhere. Ill try to optimize it so the signal is only reaching within my home, which is great.
