Linksys + iPhone

I am surrounded by Linksys routers… by choice. However, I had a single router (WRT54GS) in my collection that would not allow my iPhone to connect. I retyped the WEP about 5 times, rebooted my iPhone, rebooted the router, and upgraded the firmware. No luck.

Out of desperation, I proceeded through each screen of the router administration panel to locate a difference between a router that worked and the non-connecting. After a lot of hunting, the only difference that I was able to locate was the broadcast type: B, G or mixed. Changing this setting to mixed fixed the issue instantly.

huh, I have a WRT54GS, and I have encryption turned off because it just fed me inconsistencies with laptops and the print server. (you may be thinking I’m mad for not having encryption turned on, but I filter by MAC address, and if I’m using HTTPS, or SFTP the data is encrypted anyway. Sure, people could sniff my packets and get the unencrypted data but pfft, it’s the internet after all. )

About

The purpose of this blog is to share the million little tips and tricks that I have discovered over the past 15 years as a graphic designer; this site will also be my digital playground were I learn as I share. The term beta seems to be popular these days and may be a good description for what this site is; however, I think it is more fitting to call this site intentionally-unrefined.

I can’t say that I know fully what content will present itself here. It will be an hourly discovery based on the day-to-day experiences that I go through as a graphic design, photographer, web developer, small business owner, productivity junkie and a student.
