Which is faulty, the T60-N or the router?

#1 Post by fefrie » Wed Jun 01, 2016 3:19 pm

I've got a network with the asus as a router and WAP, and a secondary WAP

Then 2ndWAP is A wireless N using WPA2/AES. The T60 has absolutely no problems N-Connecting.

The T60, if memory serves me correct used to N-Connect to the Asus with no problems, but it seemed to stop working, so I just G-connected.

I recently tried N-connecting with the T60 and no combination of wpa or wpa2 or aes or tkip I could N connect to the Asus with the T60

A tablet N-connected to the Asus with wpa2/aes no problem.

Giving up, I reverted settings on the Asus to G settings, and tried G-connecting with the T60 and it didn't work untill I reset the router, which is a bit weird.

The Asus router seems to hate the T60 when the T60 tries to N-connect, but the T60 N-connects to the 2ndWAP no problem.

I'm a little curious as to why I have to reboot the router when switching from

I'm tearing my hair out a bit here. What is the faulty device?

I remember a long time ago under a different hardware setup a roommate complaining to me once that her Macbook didn't connect to the network, but mine easily did. I always blamed her laptop. But now in this circumstance, with 2 access points, I can tell that the T60 works in some sort of N-Configuration.

Any insight would be appreciated.

What wireless card is in your T60? By a process of elimination you've pretty much already ruled out the ThinkPad as being the only problem; have you tried more than just these two access points? Also, what do you mean when you say this?

You don't really have a choice between N and G, it goes with N if both pieces support it. Perhaps you mean 2.4 and 5GHz?
