David

Thanks for trying to help. All bios and driver versions on access point and
router up to date.

>From info in vxUtil

USBCable
IP address 192.168.55.101
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.55.100
Primary DNS 127.0.0.1

vnetusba1 Ipaq USB Wireless Adaptor

IP address 192.168.0.2
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.0.1
Primary DNS 192.168.0.1

DHCP server 192.168.0.1

>From asset viewer the versions against WLAN are:

Hardware revision 6.3
Firmware version 0.100.5.39
Driver version 3.2.4.129

plus the MAC address and module release number

Makes no sense to me, but maybe to you or others?

Thanks
