68U Wireless connection causes problems

[jogl]

Still working on getting 68U running better. Now I notice that when I connect to the router wirelessly, with my laptop, it causes the router to lose the ADSL connection. I must have something not set right in the wireless section. 2.4 is set to auto mode, channel 6 WPA2-Personal.

Computer is anNV59 Gateway. If it is connected via wire all is fine.

Any ideas?

The wireless connection or the ADSL(WAN) connection? What FW version?

Set a fixed channel instead 1,6 or 11 is recommended.

After searching around here some more I decided to try the factory reset, since I did not do that after I loaded 380.57 firmware. So far so good.

Also, I had noticed that it was just the 2.4GHz that was causing problems. The Roku TV gizmo worked just fine on 5GHz.

Update: Started screwing up again, will try earlier revision.

The problem is the driver, you need to use the old one to fix it.

So, I loaded 378.56_2, should that work?

Thanks.

Yes, you can also compile 380.57 with the old driver, it will also work.

So, I loaded 378.56_2 and all was well for three or four days. This morning I woke up early and decided that I would redo my notes on the LAN topology. While doing that I noticed that I had left the 2.4GHZ channel select at auto so I changed it to 11 thinking that I would avoid channel interference problems (the auto had selected 11 anyways, the two other WAP's nearby are set at ch's. 1 and 6.).

Well, same old story, the 68U kept losing the DSL connection. I put the channel selection back to auto and all seems good again.

What the heck?
