Netgear wpn824 problems

hokyki

I have the WPN824 connected to the DLink 502T. When I enable WEP 128bit, I can surf and download. But when I log onto WoW it drops after a few seconds.

The router locks up and I have to reset it. The DLink keeps going though. It does not happen with WEP disabled.

I have MAC filtering and Hidden SSID, but I also want WEP on as it is not as easy see what traffic I have running around.

Any ideas???

I have Firmware Version V2.0.15_1.0.11

if your playing a game on a desktop with a your own wireless network, it might just be easier to use a (cabled) network connection for more reliability while you are playing your game.

You could also try dropping the WEP level from 128bit to 64bit - this will give the computer and router less data to encrypt and decrypt. The crash could be caused just by sheer volume of encrypted data.
