However, fiddling around with the settings, I got the satellite to be recognized under the new firmware!
(Note: What works for me may not work for you)
- 1. Advanced Setup > Wireless Setup > Wireless Settings > 2.4Ghz (Auto) > Set to "11".
- 2. Advanced Setup > WAN Setup > NAT Filtering > Secured > Set to "Open".
I'm not sure which of those two got satellite functionality back for me but all what I do know is, it's all Thworking. Good luck to you all.
Can anyone comment on the security implications of item #2, above?
gbjackson@ - The "Help" button at the bottom of the page states the following: "This option determines how the router deals with inbound traffic. The Secured option provides a secured firewall to protect the PCs on LAN from attacks from the Internet, but it may cause some Internet games, point-to-point applications, or multimedia applications not to work. The Open option, on the other hand, provides a much less secured firewall, while it allows almost all Internet applications to work."
Have you ever looked at the logs under the "Administrative" tab, and noticed all of the DOS attacks? A bit concerning. So for me -- I'll leave mine checked as "Secured".
I switched the WAN (NAT) setting back to secure.
Further fiddling around with the 2.4ghz wireless channel settings, I was able to get the sattelite recognized only when using Channels 10, 11.
So there might be the solution: Don't use (Auto) and find which band on the 2.4ghz channel works for you.
