Hi all
I have a new Draytek router and tried it this morning setting the Chanel to 6 which broadcasts both mixed old type and SuperG protocols. I have a laptop card which so far has connected in any enviromnet with which it has been presented, particularly on the security front It could find no chanels. Having fiddled with little success including completely switching off the security, opted to switch the Chanel from 6 to 1 which limits the function to just to mixed older wireless protocols. Bingo I have spent some time searching the network set up to find where I set the chanel using WCZ back to Chanel 6 which ought to work with the wide range of outputs on that chanel even if the network adaptor is not up to Super G. Can't find it. Does WCZ try all channels automatically and report on all it can find. or can the Chanel be set somewhere Roger Stenson Roger Stenson |

WZC will check all channels. By the way, while I'm not familiar with your
router, normally the channel and the mode are not related, so for all wireless units that I am aware of setting the wireless to channel 1 doesn't prevent one from also setting it to "G" or "B" and "G". You might want to check that again. -- David Hettel Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

You can try to find the culprit by switching Off WZC and load the Original
Brand’s Wireless utility. Given your description, my bet would be a troubled Draytek (can not help with it, Draytek Brand is not selling in the USA). Jack (MVP-Networking).
