Can't get Windows 7 to connect to Repeater Bridge
I'm having a problem connecting a Windows 7 laptop to a repeater bridge. I have a Linksys WRT54GS which I flashed with dd-wrt a few months ago and have been using it successfully on several XP laptops ever since. When trying to connect the W7 laptop however I can see the repeater bridges unique SSID but cannot connect to it. I am using WPA2 with an AES algorithm but have also tried it without any security and still no luck. The W7 laptop will connect to the repeater bridge via a wired connection (although it shows it's connected to the name of the AP router), but that is the only way. The W7 laptop will connect to the AP with no problem. Any suggestions? Does anyone have a Windows 7 machine that will (or will not) connect to a repeater bridge? P.S. I'm a novice at best.
