    I have a Roberts WM 201 and a Reciva internet radio both of which worked perfectly until Monday.
    On that day Vodafone introduced their "enhanced" 7 megs broadband.
    From then on ,neither my Linksys or Belkin router will work.
    The only router to work is the Vodafone supplied one.
    All my wifi eqpt laptops, phone etc work ok but, neither of the radios will work.
    They see the network but will not log in.

    The radios will only work with 802.11b or g while the voda is supposed to be b,g+n.
    Does anybody have any ideas.

    Did you try deleting the wireless settings and try again? If it doesnt work then, power down all your network equipment and on again and see then?

    Hi Vodoo
    I have powered everything down-but still no luck.
    I seem to have two seperate problems.
    While the linksys and Belkin routers dont see the net , all my units see them.
    The voda router sees the net and everything else except the radios.

    Did you try deleting the connection on the Radio i.e Setup a new wireless connection?

    Did a factory reset on radio but no joy.

    I now think I will try contact vodafone --after all it is their modem that the radio does not see.

    Not very confident of getting much help judging by the posts on voda's own boards site. but, nothing tried nothing gained.

    Thanks for your help.


    update

    The radio now works when directly connected to the router but not on wifi.
    so the problem is at least narrowed down.

    Some WIFI radios don't support WPA or WPA2 security.
    Disable all wireless security on the router and see if the radios connect then.

    Thanks bridster

    Problem just solved.
    I actually had 3 different problems.
    Vodafone router only tx on 802.11n and the radios will only work on 802.11g
    everything worked except the radios.
    Linksys router was actually faulty.
    The Belkin router encapsulation had been set to VC while vodafone seem to have moved to LC. Changing the belkin to LC cured the problem.

    Thanks again.
