Hi all,
First off, I want to say THANK YOU for such a great firmware. This thing rocks!!
Secondly, I've searched far and wide on these forums regarding unable to get my laptop, a ThinkPad X61 using the "Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN" card with N enabled (I checked within the driver), to work on the N network.
The firmware on the router, which is the standard v24 final release set to "mixed" mode, is detecting everything regarding the device just fine, however when I connect, I can only connect at a max of 54mbps and nothing higher.
I even forced the router to only N mode, which my laptop sees, but cannot connect to it.
Has anyone seen this issue?
Also, just as a note: I do not have the "nokaid" firmware on this, just the v24 final standard edition. (I don't understand what nokaid is - can someone elaborate?)
Did the card work correctly on the stock firmware? If not, try installing a newer driver.
(Also, the nokaid version is exactly the same as the std, except it does not contain the Xbox kaid package) _________________ WRT54G v3 - v24 r14471M NEWD Eko - AP

WRT600N v1.1 - halfway there!

Unfortunately, I never bothered trying to use it on the stock firmware.
I inherited the device from a client who did not need it anymore and the first thing I did was load this firmware. Also, I never had an N device so this is the first.
I was actually able to figure it out, I changed the encryption of WEP to WPA AES+TKIP and now I'm getting speeds of 130mbps.
Any other ideas on getting this higher? I see that it caps at 130.
Also, thanks for the explanation on what "nokaid" version does. Do you happen to know what "kaid" stands for? Just curious. :)
