Sorry for the long silence on this, I was busy with some other things. But I've been playing with it again this week and uncovered some new information regarding the failures. I noticed the other day that the rtl8188ce was no longer having trouble associating with this AP. After playing around in the router settings I discovered that it works fine so long as the router isn't on channel 1. So then I configured my other router to use channel 1, and then I started seeing problems with that router as well. I also tried the rtl8192ce driver from Realtek's website, and I'm having better luck with that driver.Seth, Are those AP's 802.11n devices that allow HT features on channel 1? I do not know if we support that or not. On my 802.11n device, it automatically switches to channel 3 when I enable HT, and that works. I can connect to an 802.11g AP on channel 1 with no trouble.
Whether or not HT is enabled makes no difference. One is an older 802.11g router, and on the other I see the same problems with or without HT enabled. Seth
