DLink DWL-G630 connects intermittentlyI am having problems getting a wireless network to work...
I have a Panasonic Toughbook CF-R1 laptop running Windows XP SP3 with a Dlink DWL-G630 wireless interface, using the "Marvell Libertas 802.11b/g Wireless" drivers. It will only connect intermittently using WPA to our SMC2804WBRP-G wireless router. On unsecured network using this router and public hotspots t connects without problems. I have been testing the connection using ping to other devices on the network. 2 other computers (running Linux) have no problems connecting wirelessly. Windows firewall is disabled. and no other firewalls are present Make sure both Wireless router and NIC have the same setup. Or this link may
help.

I experienced a similar problem when I was using Norton 360 security software. I needed to tell the software to trust the wireless SSID within the firewall module. smlunatick wrote:

Neither claims to be a firewall or has any relevant options. Hi
Try to change the transmission channels in the Router and see if another channel provides better results. If it does not help try another (newer) Wireless Router on the same environment.

Is the Router's SSID is broadcasting? Some computers can work OK with SSID Off some cannot.

The drivers on the Dlink website for a DWL-G630 are, according to the Update Driver Wizard for a different device. The Marvell website wasn't helpful. Windows update didn't offer them. However a google search for the vendor and device IDs lead me via driveragent.com to: http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/10511214.cab Hi Timothy
I downloaded driveragent and tried it. I am trying to determine if there is a better drive for my router (TRENDNET TEW-432BRP) to which I am connected by wireless. The router did not show up on the Driveragent report. Does driveragent work on routers too?
