Title: Wireless connection is lost when switching on desktop pc
Post by: basvanheel on January 31, 2011, 10:07:30 AM

Hi all,

I've got a bit of a weird situation here as soon as I switch on my desktop pc my wireless connection is lost. This is only the desktop pc, I aso have a HTPC on wire, this one doesn't have any problems. If my wireless fails, my wired clients can still go on the internet. (see for detail the drawing at the bottom of this post).

The other weird thing is as soon as I set my wireless to WPA-TKIP there are no problems, but my wireless is set to WPA-AES due to the wireless N standard.

I also noticed as soon as my wireless drops out the router starts changing channels.

Part of my network is DHCP (in the range of 192.168.0.100 - 192.168.0.199) the other part has fixed adresses (192.168.0.251, 192.168.0.253, 192.168.0.254)

What i've tried thusfar
- other firmware
- replaced cables
- rebooting/restarting router
- setting up from factory defaults

Network setup (image is in dutch, but it will probably speak for itself. I can make one in English if required)

Does anybody got an idea?

Hi basvanheel,

Where is it written that you need to keep the Wireless on Auto for Channel Selection? Take it off Auto and choose a Channel that works.
