Re: WPC54G Not Finding Access Point

Aloha Smith,

If you turn off WPA, just as a test, can you then connect to your access point?

Uh...my network does have a name, it won't let me connect. I was just
trying to connect to the un-encrypted one to see if my router was the
trouble. There are 4 listed, I'm trying to use the correct ssid, my
ssid, it doesn't work.

Give the network a meaningful name in the config of the WPC54G so
that
when
you see in on the list on the PC you will know what you are looking
at.
There might be dozens of networks listed, but they are not yours and
you
can't connect to them. Even if they are left wide open doesn't mean
you
are
supposed to connect to them,...you are supposed to connect to
yours,..that's
why you have to name it a unique name so you know which one it is.
Heck I can lay my laptop on the seat of my car, drive aroud a few
streets
and see 100's of them listed that all say "Linksys" because people
don't
bother the change the default name. Since they all say "Linksys"
there is
no
way to know who's is who's.

Have a WPC54G Linksys Wireless-G PCMCIA card running on a PIII
Windows

2000

machine. Installed v1.1 drivers only to find that they did not
support
WPA-PSK with Windows 2000, so I uninstalled and downloaded v1.3
drivers
to
use which I read did support WPA-PSK. It installed fine, WPA-PSK
encryption

was now an option so I set up my profile, but it won't connect. It
says "Cannot Associate with AP" I've uninstalled and re-installed,
no help.

It

says on the side that my card is "active". I pick up four different
connections in my Site Survey screen (including one of which has no
encryption, I tried to connect to it and I couldn't, same
association error). The router is a Linksys WRT54GS. Anyone help?

Thanks,

Smith
