Default Wireless gaming using Linksys w/ MN-700



The network im trying to setup consist of the following:
computer w/linksys PCI wireless adapter, MN-700 wireless
access point connected to a DSL Modem, and a PS2 w/ a
Linksys wireless gaming adapter. I can get the computer to
talk directly to the access point to get online, but i
cant get the MN-700 to connect to the Gaming adapter to
access the net. would the WEP key be a factor? or do i
have to have the PS2->computer->access point setup. HELP
IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

Default Re: Wireless gaming using Linksys w/ MN-700

Hi,

I had a problem with my MN-700 and the Linksys WGA11B wireless gaming
adapter.
Originally, the Linksys box was unable to connect unless I used a
non-protected network (no WEP).
Then, I figured out that the SSID brodcast was the key to this problem. I
don't know which device is faulty but it sure looks to be the Linksys box.
In my case, the solution was simple and it may apply to you.
1-If you want to use an encrypted network (which I strongly suggest you to
do), define your WEP key (Don't use WAP - not supported by many devices)
2-Activate the "broadcast SSID" feature of the router (this is VERY
important).
3-Configure your Linksys adapter to use the correct channel, SSID and WEP
key.
4-The WGA11B should instantly connect.

Hope it will help.
