I have a D-Link 655 that I picked up from Costco. I frequently lost association with the access point until I enabled WPA2 encryption. It seems that if encryption was disabled, my wireless clients (both Linux and Windows) would constantly seek for the strongest signal, which would sometimes try to connect to near-by Digis or other unencrypted WISP signals. Once I enabled encryption it seems that my clients would then "hone in" on only my AP and none other. I haven't read anything to back up this anecdote, but I wonder if you or other have had similar issues. Once WPA2 encryption was enabled, my connections have been solid. -Bryan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
