All,
Firstly I dont know if this is going to help everyone but it has certainly helped me and seeing that there are still quite a few people having similar issues I thought I would share my findings.
I had a very happy WL500g working fine for a year and then wanted more!!! So I upgraded to a different customer fw 1.9.2.7-4 and all seemed fine for a while,in fact a short while. Then I started getting loss of connectivity mostly Wireless but also Lan, after much frustration and testing I found a setup that works and seems to work very well, 64 days no problems or reboots.
The issue seems ( as many have already cited ) to be around the Intel 2200BG wireless adapter. I could go through everything I found, but I wont, if anyone wants that information then feel free tocontact me.
KIT
WL500G 1.9.2.7-4
2200BG 8.1.0.28 Intel Driver (Fujitsu 7010S Laptop)
Symptoms :
- No Wireless connectivity
- WireLess finds AP but no recieve packets or just 1 packet.
- usually after 4 hours or greater
- So or bad throughput on LAN
All these ( for me were corrected by the following )
- I had by default an Aegis 802.1x Auth protocol installed I disabled this
and it seemed to solve the connect to AP but no comms issue.
( see first screen shot )
The settings are found under Wireless Network Connection Properties.
You may or may not have the same one but it is possible you have an entry that does the same thing 802.1x !!
- added "wl interference 2" set it to manual in Post-Boot file.
( see second screen shot )
telnet/ ssh which ever you use to the Wl500gand changeto the following path :
/usr/local/sbin
do an "ls"
If you dont have a post-boot file then read http://wl500g.dyndns.org/
and that was all......For thos sceptics, I did reverse and remove those settings and low and behold the issues came back. I have left out lots of what I tried but I guessed everyone would rather cut to the chase and test to see it it help them.
