Firmware v1.9.2.8 BETA

[MAV]

I think problem in firmware.
In 1.8.1.7-3 - everthin ok
in any >1.8.1.7-3 - bad
return to 1.8.1.7-3 - all ok.
It means that problem in firmware

I've notice same as you... with 1.8.x.x fw and previous, there was no drops/break in wireless connections... but that doesn't mean that the new fw implementation from asus is wrong... even if I really suspect it

Perhaps are there issues with wirelles and centrino in general!

...

[Spot]

... another thing yet: since I notice this problem upgrading to 1.9.X.X, I really think it has something to do with this "little note" wrote in the change log...

Note1: Using this firmware on WL500g, the range of wireless transmission will be shortened because of the power of tx is lower.

I'm sure someone knows something!

If i don't change anythig - only firmware that mean problem therу is
and i think in this "WMM/WPA2 Support.
3. Add: Bandwidth Management "
after upgrade >1.8.1.7-3 my notebook can connect only one time and then never can connect again! Notebook even can obtain Ip from DHCP.
After downgrade - notebook can't login, get IP in 2 sec.
And you Spot think thay problem in notebook wifi?

The problem is probably due to the fact, thet Intel's drivers does not handle WPA2 correctly. I've no problems with prism54 gt based card.
Try switching to WEP only...
Centrino wireless drivers are most problematic drivers ever...

Just think that the problem could be more accurate with intel centrino...
I have a second laptop connected with a topcom 54g wifi card... This one link without no problem!

Also, I connect my pc with no encryption at all (just control acces with mac adress)... so not sure that problem have something to do with wpa2.

Hi oleg,

... and what's about poeple connecting with no encryption like me?

Well, try updating driver anyway. To my knoweldge, my chief uses Asus m5200n centrino notebook, which has no problem connecting to wl500g running 1.9.2.7-3b using WPA-PSK/TKIP mode.

... I also think intel driver can be suspected, but i run now the latest version.

So, I will do a proper xp installation because I did so much upgrade of drivers until now... this could help, who knows!

Thanks oleg.

I try without any encription.
Notebook can't get IP from DHCP ( or spending a lot of time)

Thanks oleg.

i'm using a centrino based notebook too with an Intel 2200BG wireless card.
The drivers 8.1 worked OK. Since the 9.x version intel supports WPA2.
Only the driver 9.0.0.60 (w29n51.sys) works for me even in combination with ProSet/Wireless 9.0.1.59.
I'm using ASUS FW's 1.9.2.7-3b or 1.9.2.7.

Great thanks to you... trying to find driver on intel site, I found something interresting in "known issues"...

The subject doesn't concern me directly (because I don't have network bridge connections) but the effects are identicals. Desinstalling previous proset utility software and driver, and reinstalling driver only (to use with windows zero config utility) , I lost some components (the Intel WLAN Transport network component).

Now, reinstalling the complete package (utility + driver), the connection stays active with no drops! "Ouf"

@ MAV, take a look at this, this might help you...

Thanks for the tip. Fortunately i did not had this problem.
You can find the latest driver on page CS-010623.htm on the same site...
With this driver (9.0.1.9), i can setup a connection, but after minutes (varies from 5 to 60 and not only with ASUS AP's but also Linksys WAP54G) it disconnects and then reconnects the connection and again the same cyclus.

The M5200n might be a centrino notebook, but does it use Intel PRO/Wireless hardware like the 2100/2200BG or 2915ABG MiniPCI Wireless cards? I guess not.
Anyway keep up the good work. Thanks!

According to ASUS specs it has Intel 2100 wireless card.
