Re: WRT54GX4 - Blackberry
Forgive my ignorance if it is apparent...
It is set up to WEP (64 bits 10 hex).
Association Mode - Auto
Using any of the 4 generated WEP keys, it will still not connect. In fact with all security features turned off....same problem.
thanks for answering...any more thoughts?
I just googled it all again, and can't find any answers for this model. Read More

WRT54GX4 - Blackberry
WRT54GX4 - Blackberry
Can ANYONE help?
I have a Blackberry Curve 8320 and the LinkSys WRT54GX4-SRX400 Router.
I have the updated Firmware 1.00.20.
I have tried with MAC filtering on and off.
The Blackberry clearly sees the network, tries to connect and then fails. Reason :W010 - WiFi Association Failed.
I have searched Blackberry forums everywhere, and find multiple instances of the same problem with this model of Router. I am surprised that I have not yet seen it posted here.
I find it hard to believe that one particular model would not be able to connect to the Blackberry. I can connect to other Routers no problem...but that doesn't help me at home.
Can anyone help?
I like the router but am frustrated beyond belief!
