First of all, hello.
I've bought a couple of NS2 over the traditional WRT54G, cause i though what the heck', experimenting is not for just when you're in college.

A bunch of laptops connect to it without a hitch. I tried connecting to the NS2 with my Windows Mobile 6 device (HTC S730). DHCP goes fine, but that's it. I can see phone's ARP on the nanostation, but i can't pass any layer3 traffic, as if it the device wasn't associated at all (which is not the case since i can obtain an IP through DHCP and the MAC shows up in NS2's associations). The phone works fine with any other AP, i've tried it with a Cisco 1131AG (which i believe is Atheros based) and it works.
A debug ip packet on the Cisco router behind NS2 stops after the DHCP offer.

Any ideas what to look for in the NS2? I couldn't care less if my phone has an issue, but is this the case with any windows mobile device? This is a problem for me, as my NS2 is a hotspot.

Thank you.

Hello Kamikatze,

Please update to at least V3.1.1. firmware. Then go to the advanced tab, and uncheck the box that says "Enable Extra Reporting" Next connect the device again and let me know if you can connect.

Thanks

Mike

I'm running v3.2.3734

Will try disabling "Enable Extra Reporting" first thing tomorrow.
What does this option do?

Thanks.

Hello,

It disables a data stream that other softwares can get information from. Some laptop wireless cards do not like the extra info.

Thanks,

Mike

Hello Kamikatze,

Is it possible to set the units in WDS mode?

Thanks

Hello,

Have you tried to enable multicast data rates and disable client isolation?

Thank you,

Mike

I've tried everything. It doesn't work.
So i flashed to the latest OpenWRT Kamikatze and Windows Mobile connected instantly.

You guys should have a look into this.

Just wondering if the Windows Mobile 6 issue has been fixed with the later AirOSes.
Not that OpenWRT is bad but madwifi isn't exactly known for its stability.
Thanks.

LOL, seems like this has been an ongoing problem for a while...

The short answer is there is no problem with WM6 and the issue has not been fixed.
