[vox-tech] OT: The Bouncing WAP

[David Margolis]

Richard,

I've read the other responses to this and agree (firmware, channel, etc.),
but my experience would lead me to suggest hardware.  These routers (and
access points) are mass-produced and are just flakey sometimes.  I'd try
the other suggestions and if you're still having the same problem, take
advantage of Linksys's excellent cross-RMA (where they send you the
replacement while you return yours).  You get stuck for the cost
of shipping yours, but it's still a good deal.

I had a netgear that did the same thing (with apple/linux laptops not XP
though).  I'd turn WEP off and it would work fine.  I replaced it with the
exact same product and the second one worked fine with WEP.
