Since getting my lovely new iPhone 3G I’ve only been able to connect to my apartment’s Linksys WAG54G V.3 using 802.11b. It steadfastly refused to talk in “mixed” or “G-Only” mode when WPA-PSK encryption was turned on.
A little snooping behind the scenes, using the Organizer in Xcode to read the iPhone’s log, revealed that the poor little fella was having a problem with a “timeout waiting for authentication response” when connecting to the wireless LAN.
A little Googling and reading of anguished forum posts lead me to the solution. I just needed to upgrade the Firmware on the Linksys to v1.00.46.
Now my iPhone can enjoy the benefits of 802.11G. Success!
Perhaps this firmware upgrade will also fix my ADSL2+ signal strength issue too. Time to test…
Deeper Design is Oliver Jones. This is his place to brain dump about anything that crosses his mind.
What happen after the new firmware installed?
I have the same problem.
Installing the new firmware on the Linksys fixed the problem with my iPhone 3G.
