New router and old USB adapters

#1 (**permalink**) 11-02-2006, 08:27 PM

Lured by a faster connection, I substituted a US
robotics router, with a W-gate router fit to Voip
phoning. My web connection is satisfactory but the
US robotics Usb adapters, previously used by the
discharged router, refuse to funcion. All my
gratitude for any help to solve the problem.

Possibly WEP key mismatch. Try turning off *all* security while
testing.

Do the USB adapters do any sort of "enhanced speed"? If they did 22Mbps,
instead of strictly 802.11b, the enhanced speed option may conflict with
the enhanced speed option of a different vendor's router.

I had a similar problem with a SMC "22Mbps" adapter that didn't work with
a Netgear 802.11g router. Disabling the 22Mbps option in the adapter lets
it connect at 11Mbps.
