I have an X50V and will be purchasing a new router. Currently, the only way to connect to my D-Link DI-524 is with the Odyssey client and that is not acceptable. I would like to purchase a router that will use WPA-PSK without having to use Odyssey. D-Link seems to have issues with the 524 and 624. Their tech support flatly states that they do not support PDAs.

Does anyone have a recommendation of a rock-solid router that supports WPA-PSk with the X50V.

Thanks for all of your help.

I use WPA-PSK with my DI-624 without using Odyssey (I use an iPAQ).


Have you tried the any of the different firmware versions for your router?

There is only one available V4.00

Ouch. Maybe some others here have got it working with the DI-524 and v4 of the firmware. Seems like overkill to have to buy a new router :)

My daughter getting broadband and needs a router, so I'll give her the D-Link. Can't charge your daughter.

--Although Odyssey is not the most elegant wireless client application out there it seems to work pretty well. I have used my x50v with Odyssey on several Linksys wireless routers that support WPA-PSK (WRT54G currently) without issues for six months. Depending on location I use WPA-PSK and lessor encryption depending on the distance I am attempting to push the signal. The only drawback I have identified with Odyssey deals with the user requirement to manually change wireless profiles. In Windows XP, by default, the wireless adapter will automatically cycle through the profiles to see if any saved profiles automatically connect. If that doesn't not happen, then the user is prompted for futher action.

what makes you think the problem is Dlink and not Axim? If D-link works with Oydessey client and works with other computers, WLAN is the problem.

if you have a di-524 rev C, you can flash it into a di-624. i can connect to my small office's di-624 without any problems using dell's wifi utility.

if you absolutely want to get a new router, you can't go wrong with a wrt54g (rev 4 and below)
then you can flash it with dd-wrt firmware, and basically make it worth your while =) (just go read up on it)

I am using Linksys WRT54GC. It is router, firewall and access point all in one. It is working flawlessly with my X50v and I am very happy with it!
