I just bought the RT-N66U today to replace an aging WRT54GL running DD-WRT. I thought I would try Merlin and see if it met my needs as DD-WRT documentation can be somewhat less than clear at times. I fiddled with the stock firmware a little bit, then flashed it with Merlin 3.0..0.4.372.31.
I've worked out most of the basics thus far, found a few things that didn't work quite the way I'm used to and adapted, but I'm stuck on this one: I have a legacy 802.11B device (Palm TX) that won't even detect the network. The 2.4 SSID is currently set to Legacy, b/g protection, auto channel, WPA-Auto-Personal, TKIP+AES (which is how I had the last router set up), although I've tried fiddling with all of the above. I just cannot connect.
But here is the odd thing: I CAN connect just fine to a guest account set up on the 2.4GHz band!
Anyone care to guess what the difference is?
I can hotsynch the Palm if I allow the guest network to access the local intranet, but that kind of defeats the purpose of a guest account.
