D-Link DWL G120+

[zeus69]

Hi

I have 5 clients on a small network using an Airpro (Outdoor) access point. I have 2 clients using Netgear adaptors (No Problems) 1 using a Linksys adaptor (No problem) and 2 using D-Link DWL G120 adaptors (Big Problem)

Although the adaptors connect Ok initially within 3 hours they seem to lose connection and never re-connect. Even if you go into the D-Link control software provided the network can be seen in the 'Site Survey' section but will not connect.

There are a couple of other networks in the area and if I try to connect to them (Un-Secure and on different channels)) the adaptor locks on fine... 2/3 hour later that one will lose connection too!!.

If I change the channel on the access point after it loses lock the adaptor will automatically find the preferred network and switch.

Not sure what is going on eher but it is very frustrating

Any ideas?

Zeus69,
I don't know if you got your thing fixed, but I just comleted a nightmare with the dlink dwl 120+.

The most important thing I found was to totally remove/uninstall the drivers, then install exactly as they say--ie, don't plug the thing in until the drivers are installed. I don't know what it does, but if you do (did) that, then it will never work right. I spent several days pulling hair out due to similar issues--disconnects, bad signal, etc., and then just did a complete uninstall and then followed by the book, and all was ok.

Also...make sure no 2.4 gig. cordless phones are in the house/office...
