WiFi power reduced after ROM upgrade?

msu2k · 02-01-05, 02:43 PM

ROM upgrade went without a hitch this morning...until I tried to connect to WiFi. Even with Power Saving turned off, I can't seem to see access points that I could in the past.

Try switching your Wireless access point off and on again to force it to allocate an IP adress, DNS etc again.

Unfortunately it's my work place's wireless network. I used to be able to pick up 5-6 APs from my office...now I get none. :(

I am actually picking up one more at my home. It could be a new network too however. I did not see it there last night though ... it could be that they stopped broadcasting their SSID

How can I revert to my old ROM to see if it's related to the ROM upgrade or not?

I haven't noticed any problems in locating access points with the new rom. Although I did have a _huge_ trouble with the unit originally. It seems to be a great rom update, it did not break anything :)

Looks like it may be a false alert. I just received word that our wireless network may be down off and on today. It's usually VERY stable so I assumed that it was the ROM update. I'd still like to know how to revert to the old ROM though.

Actually I can find two new networks inside my walls now which previously were only visible while outside :)

when u did the rom update, it should have backed up the old one in my documents (on desktop pc). as far as how to reload it i am not sure, but u sould be abled to find out easily. if not pm me and when i get home from work, i will tell ya

i picked up 2 new ones after the update, though i too think they are just new networks. not sure how any software would increase the range...

strange coincidence...
