I dropped this on dslreports.com wireless forum but nobody touched it.
Thought this group would be the appropriate forum.
Problem occurs when a laptop goes into suspend mode. When it comes back out
it has lost it's connection to the AP(to be expected). It never reconnects
as I keep getting the Windows "The following networks are available" message
asking you to put a check saying that you know it's an unsecured AP. After
clicking the connect button the dialogue box disappears. The network icon
has a status of "Wireless connection unavailable" . Double clicking it takes
me right back to the "following networks are available" box that I got
previously. Has anyone else experienced this weird loop?
Other pertinent info:
-I have a duplicate environment at work that fails the same way. Several
802.11b APs don't fail like this
-I'm using the proprietary 'turbo' mode
-Powering off/on the access point fixes the problem until I
suspend/hibernate again.
-Several other laptops with various OS's in the mix work great(but to be
fair, don't hibernate/suspend either)
-Swapped WiFi NIC which didn't help.
-Just installed the MS WURP Update(KB826942) with no luck
I'm thinking I need to be looking at the AP, right? Would a firmware update
be in order?
Environment- home ADSL. ISP provided a generic Westell modem. AP is a DLINK
DWL-5000AP- No encryption, no filtering, using channel 42 with auto select
on. Router is DI-707P. DHCP on. Router and AP are in the 192.168.0.* range.
A few DLINK switches in the mix(problem occurred before they were in the
network)
thanks in advance!
