Re: WMWifiRouter Help??

Since I just got a PCI WiFi card for my desktop, I started playing around with WMWiFiRouter today, and may be able to offer some suggestions.

1) Regarding the "Connected WLAN! Waiting for ICS..." message: I got this message several times while I was trying to set up v0.91 to play nice with XP with a secured connection. After having tried several different configurations, I finally found out the problem (at least in my case) - The Mogul does not support WPA encryption on an adhoc connection. WEP is the best you can do if you want security. Remember that the Mogul is looking for a 13 character passphrase if you use WEP - No more, no less. If you don't use a key of the proper length, it will display a rather useless error message.

This may also resolve some errors where XP continuously shows the "Waiting for network..." message.

2) If your PC can connect to the WMWiFiRouter network, but not browse any websites, try this: In WMWiFiRouter, go to the configuration section and put a checkmark next to "Use DHCP Allocator". In the same menu, open the "IP Block" submenu and choose the "192.168.3.x" option.

You may have to turn the Mogul off and back on after some of these changes to make it work.



Good luck!
