Re: [OT]Belkin 54g WAP

[yahoogroups@xxxxxxx]

Hi Tony,

I've got one... I'm *trying* to use it with my apple powerbook...

Same problems as you... connection dies after a certain amount of time.

The WAP54G came in to replace my WAP11 - and I'm on the verge of putting
the
WAP11 back!  Before "G" I could surf from the powerbook (at
11mbps) anywhere
in the house without problems - no drops.

After "G" I can surf in the same room as the WAP only, and it
regularly dies
on me as you have mentioned.

I have spoken to LinkSys about this and they have no idea what is wrong.  I
have the latest firmware too.  Currently I am waiting for LinkSys to post
their new ratified G firmware for the WAP (they promise me its on the way),
I
shall then try that - if I cant get it to work then I shall be eBaying it
:-)

Anyone want a WAP54G that *might* work?

;-)

paul.
