Good evening everyone,
I have the following situation:
- Router in NG mode
Everyone connects, things work fine (in G mode)
- Router in N mode
PCs fail to connect, but the cellphones (iOS/Android) works fine.
I've tried various steps to fix the issue, but was unable to solve it in the end. Could you guys please give me a little help? I have no idea how to proceed now.
Steps I've tried:
- Disabling IPv6 (in my pc)
- Disabling WiFi security
- Choosing a fixed Channel
- Changing the channel width
- Disabling the IP Helper service
Error shown in the event viewer:
- Connection status summary
- Connection started at: 2014-10-08 23:46:12-199
- Profile match: Success
- Pre-Association: Success
- Association: Fail
- Security and Authentication: Not started
I've installed the latest driver (ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2014/05-27-2014-r24160/tplink_tl-wr741ndv1/tl-wr741nd-webflash.bin) a few hours ago, but the router became incredibly unstable (WiFi / cable connection worked intermittently, had to reset the router many times). So I have reverted to the last version, and the router became stable again.
I have the same problem everything works but my wifes laptop will not connect i tryed everything nothing worked.So i took her mini wireless out it was ATHREOS AR5B225 MINI and put a INTEL LINK 5100 512AN_HMW PCI-E 802.11N WIFI CARD and now it works just fine.Why it wouldnt connect with the ATHREOS card and work great with the INTEL just Blows my mind.It started doing that whin i put DDWRT on my router.Im going to keep DDWRT so thats what i did to work around the problem.
If that doesn't work out, then you may have to stay in NG-mixed mode. A new build may be coming out soon with some connection fixes for the Atheros chipsets
