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).
