So I'm totally stumped and I'm hoping someone might have some insight for me. Here's my problem, I have a number of WAP54G AP's floating around my company to use for wireless access to sync some PDAs we use. My problem is this, recently my APs began to not forward DHCP addresses to any wireless clients as long as there is encryption on the wireless network, the moment I take it off it works fine. All of our wired clients get DHCP addresses no problem and have for some time. I can statically assign an IP to a wireless device and have it work but this isn't a feasible solution since I have 50+ PDAs and I also clearly don't want to disable encryption either. Here's what I've done:
the only thing I don't have that I'm trying to get right now is a non-linksys AP to test with to see if that makes a difference.
Beyond that however I'm not sure where to go from there. Anyone have any ideas or encountered anything like this before?
- Reset an AP to factory default and then re-setup the device
- Applied latest firmware and then reset and re-setup the device
- Tried 3 different APs (same model but just different devices)
- Tried different switches the APs are plugged into
- Loaded DDWRT Micro on a test AP and setup device
- Entered the WEP key as both the passphrase and as the HEX equivalent (I know, WEP is bad however the PDAs don't support anything better, I'm working on getting rid of them)
- Changed the default key to transmit
