WNAP102 and Blackberry Bold 9700 connection loses

Hi
we are using Netgear WNAP210 as an access point.
It works fine with all the devices except blackberry phones. I tried 3 different handsets of blackberry 9700 but with no luck.

Here is the Problem: my handsets connects to AP successfully. but as soon as I try to open any web page, it drops the connection and i can't even ping AP from blackberry. even I can't ping blackberyy IP from any pc on network. After a copule of minutes it connects again. But when any data transfer begins, it drops the connection.

I am using it in India. Set the region as India. Tried with 'bg' and 'gn' modes and also tried altering frequency but none of them worked.

Tried following security options:
WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK (TKIP+AES),
WPA-PSK (TKIP)
WPA2-PSK (AES)

Any help will be very appreciated

Thanks

-Mahesh

Moderators, Please edit the Product name from WNAP102 to WNAP210 in the title, it was a typing mistake.

I had the same problem and couldn't get it to work.

I upgeaded and downgraded the firmware bt nothing helped. Then i started playing around in the WIFI menu and finally got it working. 😄

Firmware: WNAP210_2.0.12


Wireless Mode:2.4GHz Band: 11ng
Turn Radio On: yes
Wireless Network Name (SSID): MYSSID
Broadcast Wireless Network Name (SSID): Yes

Channel / Frequency: Auto
MCS Index / Data Rate: Best
Channel Width: Dynamic 20/40 MHz
Guard Interval: Auto
Output Power: Full


Thats just my settings, but non of them really matter as I found. Some people said that setting the Channel to fixed 6 would help.. but not for me.

The only thing which worked for me was entering the QoS Menu and to disable WMM Powersave.
"Enable Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM)" was still on.

Hope that helps.
