Aximsitewifiicon No wifi on 624mhz

I cant get the wifi working on my 624mhz x30
it just keeps saying searching and will never connect

i have tried:
switching the router and x30 to wpa
swithcing the router and x30 wep
turning of wireless security on both devices
enabling wireless with oddessy
disabling odessy and enabling dell WLAN
i even performed a hard reset.
when i rebooted, i had my router set with security off. I turned my device on, it found my network, i entered no key and disabled security, still searching.

What am i doing wrong here? Is it my fault is my internal wireless bad?

You router needs to be set to mixed channels.

Ax works on B and not G.

Icon14 ah-ha!

ok, I got it working now.
The problem was, my router was in g mode with backwards compatibility for b mode like I thought, but I was reading about routers online and I found out about 54g LRS. My router was trying to run my b mode at an accelerated rate (22mbps) as well as my g rate (108mbps). Most b devices work fine like this and actually operate a little faster than they normally would. However, some b device won't work at all. 54G LRS mode slows my accelerated dual connection router back down to the standard 11mbps. I turned back on WEP 128-bit (to avoid the wpa passphrase craziness) and it works great. I get excellent signal on both my PC and x30 in my basement when my router is on the second floor of my house with my belkin g+ router. Not bad. Not bad at all:) .

I hope my little fiasco will help someone else solve their x30 wireless issues.
Thanks for helping me think outside the box, Box.
