wifi problem

by dphipps Oct 10, 2005 3:20AM PDT

I just bought a new wireless G card and router for my laptop. It seems to work fine but my sisters laptop which uses a wireless B card will not connect to it (it will connect to my old wireless B router but not to my new G router). The wireless B card is a Realtek rtl8180 and the G router is a D-Link DI-524. Windows 2000 pro is being used.

I own a dl-524. A few notes.

1. The unit seems to arrive with out of date firmware. What version did yours come with?

2. The unit has a feature to allow only "G" clients. How did you set yours?

Out of date firmware.

http://www.dlink.com/products/support.asp?pid=316&pv=63&sec=0 notes a 1.20 (you noted yours have 1.11) and http://www.dlink.com/products/support.asp?pid=316&pv=64&sec=0 for Revision C hardware has other versions.

Be sure to start at http://www.dlink.com/products/support.asp?pid=316&sec=0 to get the right version for your hardware.

Glad to see you have an old version.

Info lacking. I'm stuck.

I can only work with what you write here. I can not guess you disabled this, that or enabled WEP or that. I also can't tell what error messages you get since I can't see that far away.

Best of luck and consider calling into their support now that a basic step is out of the way.
