_general_ WLAN access problems
hello,
i don't know what problem my asus wl-500g router has..
i can't get a good working, stable wlan connection (measured it with constant pings on the routers ip adress, e.g. ping 192.168.1.1 -t).
the result of this broken connection is:
Antwort von 192.168.1.1: Bytes=32 Zeit=2239ms TTL=128
Antwort von 192.168.1.1: Bytes=32 Zeit=234ms TTL=128
timeout
Antwort von 192.168.1.1: Bytes=32 Zeit=2239ms TTL=128
timeout
and so on ...
i tried with different wlan-cards (asus w100g pcmcia / intel 2200 bg centrino-notebook), with or without encyprtion (wep / wpa-psk / no encryption) but NOTHING works.
at least i went to the shop where i bought the router and got a new one (only the router, not the antenna or power supply).
so i installed the new router and.... same problem :(
i read several threads in this forum, but the only thread that looks like my problem is that one about problems with the external antenna of the router.
yesterday i tried for several hours to get a good workin connection. so i placed the router ca. 4 meters beside my wlan notebook and connected to it to the wlan. again i pinged the router with "ping 192.168.1.1 -t" an looked at the response times. as it was constantly 2ms i thought i now had a stable wlan.
but then i touched the router and the connection broked. i touched the router again and touched the antenna, and then the connection was there. touched it serveral times and connection enabled <-> connection disabled.
because this is my second router now i think the antenna is damaged.
could this be or should i first try some new firmwares or anything else ?
does somebody experienced this kind of connection problems with the asus wl-500g or any other wlan product? could it be a damaged antenna?
thanks for help!
