    This is how I have mine configured:

    Setup > Basic > DHCP [Enabled]
    Wireless > Basic > Network Mode [Mixed]; SSID [yourSSID]; Radio Band [Wide 40 MHz]; Wide Channel [3]; Standard Channel [1]; SSID Broadcast [Enabled]
    Wireless > Security > Mode [WPA2 Personal]; Encryption [AES]; Passphrase [yourAccessPasword]; Key Renewal [3600 seconds]
    Administration > Management > Router Password [yourSelectedPwd]; Web Utility [HTTP]; Web Utility via Wireless [Enabled]

    Everything else is default.

    Then you need to configuere your wireless connection to match this configuration.


    I'm sure there's other ways to configure it, but this works for me.

    Thanks I guess, I'll have to remember all that for next time. I can't use WPA2 yet, as I have a PSP.

    Ditto on the DD-WRT, firmware from heaven, and a brilliant router.

    I have a WRT150N too. It works fine, but the router's in the basement and the signal is pretty weak upstairs. (I have a 3-level townhouse.) I'm thinking about upgrading to either a Linksys wrt320n or a Dlink DIR-825. Anyone have any experience with either?
