wireless problem 1.5.7 on WRT54GS

[gwhm]

Hi, Just Install 1.5.7 on wrt54gs. Everything looks good except wireless.

lost connection 3-4 times every week. Reboot or Power off won't help. Only solution is change wireless connection transmit power. like from 20 to 19dBM. It helps to get wireless connection. But it lasts only 2-3 day. Computer with cable to modem has no problem at all for all the time.

Please give me clue. thanks

We had the same issue.
DoesItMatter suggest the following.


Try Gargoyle 1.2.5

Then try 1.3.9

1.3.0 - 1.3.9 are using the Broadcom 2.4 drivers.

1.3.10 and up use the Broadcom 2.6 drivers

Hi gwhm!

We're trying 1.3.9 WRT54G and so far so good.
We'll update later on if any hiccups.
If not we'll downgrade to 1.2.5 and go up.

I've used what's recommended on this link from openwrt
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.flashing.tftp

I'm using a Mac OS X TFTP Client to load the image.
Did you follow the directions to downgrade properly?
Pls. list your steps and so we can help you out.
