Title: Wireless cards?
Post by: psp83 on Apr 04, 2008, 14:02:31
Just a quick Q.. My boss has a 2-Wire 2700.. His older voyager 1010 wireless cards dont work with this router.

What wireless cards work well with this router (lowish prices)?

Thanks,

I've tried a Belkin USB dongle, Paul, that was fine.

I had a Safecom USB Dongle working with a 2700, it was fine.

Anything should work. What is it about the BT ones that doesn't work?

The BT ones see router, asks for the password when you click the connect button.. But when you enter the password it gets stuck on "waiting for network" then after a while you get an error saying something about not being in range and/or cant connect.. Both router and card was set to "WEP - Shared"

I put one of my netgear wpn111 usb dongles in and it connected straight away..

I told him to get new ones anyway so he can use PSK security and not cr*ppy WEP.

Have you tried updating the driver for the BT ones? It could be that simple. :)

I use a linksys usb dongle, and in my laptop is a intel chip. Both work fine :)
