Hi Shamill


If you buy a computerdevice thats has soft or firmware with it, it's
already outdated....
So first check if there a firmware update available on the website of
linksys for the router.
Also check if any firmware/driver update available for your card.

And try again if you updated. Is probably a bug in one or both of
them...

I'm so paranoid/experianced since a year or 4 that I never install the
drivers included in the box.
Always download and update straigtaway....

puzlle...

Hi All,

I've got Lynksys WRT54G Wireless-G Broandband router (made in China) and
D-Link DWL-520+ wireless network card (made in Taiwan), I've installed
all that stuff and I've got stuck with the following incompatibility
puzzle:

- when I just SWITCH ON a PC with D-Link DWL-520+ card the WRT64G
router's Internet connection breaks and router stops to respond to any
attempts to start its administration program (192.168.1.1) - I guess
responsible for Internet connection firmware stops working at
all(Linux?).
And the part of router responsible for LAN connections continue to work
(i.e. PCs connected to the router via "twisted-pairs" see each  other
well)

Any thoughts how to solve this puzlle - should I change WRT54G router or
wireless DWL-520+ network card or both?

TIA for any helpful info,
Shamil
