WRE54g Drops connection

edited September 2004 in Science & Tech
Here's the setup. Linksys WRT54G router with linksys wre54g (range extender). It defaults to channel 6 and no WEP. Channel 6 disrupts other singles so I went to channel 11. Changed both extender and router and they work.

The problem: Extender drops the connection. Router and laptops still work, just not thru extender.

The immediate fix: I have to shut off WEP and then turn WEP back on. Extender connects. But it drops after an unspecified amount of time.

Anyone know of a permanent fix?

Want to keep WEP and channel 11. Could go MAC address only, but really want to keep WEP on.

Thanx,
