I recently bought a Linksys Accesspoint WAP54g. it
is running on firmware version 2.07
Setting it up was very easy. And i hav connected
2 laptops and 1 pc sucessfully.
The only problem that I am facing is that
althoug mij signal strenght is great the speed is
slowely decreasing from 54 to 0 and that for a
seccond I get disconnected. after this the speed
is 54 again and te same things happen again.
Note that this is happening on every laptop/pc.
I tried different channels, increased the signal
strengt from 42 to 84.. but it doe not solve
this problem.
Does anyone have some suggestions how to solve
this.
Thanks and Regards,
Peter (Holland)

I am unsure if it the same problem but I have
the same router and mine was dropping the
signal. I was told by linksys that it was
Windows XP and the security settings that were at
fault and the answer was to enable only prechosen
MAC addresses but to drop all other security. Now
my network appears totally unsecure but unless it
is an approved MAC address no pc or other can
access it (Or at least thats the theory) I have
been running like this for six months and
have not had more than four drops in connectivity.
PS I am not at all technical so please check
that I am right before laying your network wide
open!

Should be fine as long as its setup o.k. an
it sounds like Linksys talked you through setting
it up so I doubt you'll have a problem.
Might be worth disabling the SSID broadcast though
(which is what I 've done with mine on a
similar setup).
