WNDA3100 not connecting to a WN604 access point
Hi, I'm trying to connect a new Netgear WNDA3100v3 wifi adapter to the home wifi without success. It connects well to temporary hotspots created by my cell phone, but not to the home wifi. The home wifi is provided by a Netgear WN604 access point. I've tried different security protocols on the access point, open, WEP, WPA, WPA2, etc., all without success. The WNDA3100 detects the network correctly, but cannot connect to it. I have used Wireshark to see the communications, but it seems that in all cases the access point stops to communicate with the adapter. In the case of WPA2, I see that the 4-way handshake stops after the first two messages (I attach screenshot). The WN604 has been working correctly for several months and still is, for several other wifi clients of different types (phones, TVs, laptops). I would greatly appreciate some help.WN604 firmware upgrade from 2.3.2 to 3.3.2 and away from air...
Just to tell the story: I have a WN604 operating for YEARS in my home network, just needed 2 reboots so far after running in an error - the 2nd reboot was today (entire network was down because the WN604). So while checking if it works after reboot I just got the idea that there could be a newer firmware version available than 2.3.2 that I had - and it was: 3.3.2. I should have known, but I was in a mood to touch a running system.... The upgrade did run properly and over the cable conection I could reconnect to the WN604 after the automatic reboot. BUT MY WLAN WAS NO MORE VISIBLE FOR ANY WIRELESS DEVICE!! I tried an tried to change something - but no success. I've seen the "blue light" at the device beeing just on without any flickering. I got my WLAN back after I "updated" version 2.3.2 again - what erased all configurations.... but I found my WLAN again in the air. So I've learned once more: NEVER TOUCH A **bleep** RUNNING SYSTEM!!!!!
