Truemobile 1150 connects to wrong access point

Hi all,

I have a Truemobile 1150 PC Card running on a Windows 98 system. I use the Truemobile drivers and client that were packaged on the CD. I run a wireless network using a D-Link DI-624+ router. Despite setting up configuration profiles that clearly indicate the name of my access point which I want my Truemobile to connect to, the card connects to a different router, whose SSID is "default" and is a D-Link DI-524 router.

No matter what I do, sometimes the card connects itself to "default" and refuses to switch back to my router. Sometimes, it connects itself to the correct access point after a period of time. I'm thoroughly confused, does anybody know how I can get my wireless card to connect to the access points I tell it to?

 

Thanks for your time,
Philip

    You are getting a neighbor's network.  I would do two things - change channels to a different one than the neighbor's and also disable the 4x mode on the 614+.

    Thanks for your reply. However, during the times which the card chooses to connect to my neighbor's network and not my own, I cannot get to my router setup (assume that I cannot physically jack into the router with an ethernet cable). I still do not understand why the card would connect to an access point of a different name which I did not tell it to and furthermore refuse to connect me to the correct access point?

    Next chance I get, I will change the channel and disable 4x mode. Until then, I still don't understand why this is happening, any ideas?

     

    thanks for your help

    Windows Zero Configuration.  Have you tried not letting Windows handle this wireless connection and use the wireless utility that came with the 1150?  And setting up a router should always be done by wire, not wireless.
