Wireless Connection Problems? Use Wireless Zero Config in XP - Look here!
 

Hi All,
I was having a problem with my Linksys WUSB54G disconnecting from my wireless network quite frequently (6 or 7 times a day) and bought new kit to try and fix it (i.e. im dumping the WUSB54G) however as the number of drops was excessive AND i dont like to let these things go i went hunting on the net.

What i found is somebody saying that re-enabling the SSID on the router will fix it and its a problem with Wireless Zero not the device, so i though - what the hay - nothing to lose but it has stopped the problem happening - completely.

I have another device on my network which dosent use Wireless Zero (My Xbox 360) and that never drops.

So if your having problems try re-enabling the SSID and see if that fix's it, make sure you have good security on your network though.

This isnt a specific WUSB54G issue either apparently.

Actually, AFAIK, this isn't a specific Wireless Zero Config problem. In my experience, most wireless adapters (whether windows based or not) don't cope well with a bad signal with SSID disabled. The PSP certainly doesn't.

The problem is that while most routers offer the option for SSID to be switched off, that facility is NOT part of either the 802.11b or g standards, so wireless chipsets may or may not work properly with SSID disabled.
