Totally FOCKED "new" WAP11
Posted: Fri Sep 20, 2002 9:11 pm
I just got my WAP11 from amazon.com, and looking at the box, it says I got a v2.2.... no big deal. Looking at the AP, I notice it has a USB port, and I'm like "wtf? that's on the v1!" Flip it over, sticker says v1.1. Cool! I can do the power hack! Look in the box for the USB cable... it's not there, all there is is a RJ-45 cable. So looking more at the box, it says it comes with a RJ-45 cable and no mention of a USB cable, but the manual says nothing about an included RJ-45 cable and speaks of a USB cable!
So obviously I got a returned unit!
I wouldn't really care, except that when I run the USB configuration tool, it says Channel 0 and I go to the basic tab, and it's blank on the SSID and name, and the channel pulldown is BLANK! I can't choose a channel. Also, the rest of the settings are screwey and obviously not default at all. No biggie, I click restore defaults, nothing, same exact stuff! Tried power cycling, rebooting... nothing. BUT Netstumbler does detect it! With the SSID of linksys, very strong power, but with three channels, 6, 10*, and 14! I can even connect to it and surf the internet and whatnot.
WTF is going on here? Do I have a totally defective unit or what?
PLZ help meh!
