customer reported, that he can't connect with fw 9 to his 3com 3CRWE454G72 also says he's having some dhcp issues with it as well.
more information from another customer with the same problem: Resetting the 3com to factory default did not help. Also selecting the region USA on both SB2 and 3com did not enable them to talk to each other. The settings on my 3com are: 3C number 3CRWE454G72 Software version 1.03.07A Boot loader version 1.00.00 Wireless version V1.0.2.1 Hardware version R01A Serial Number 73BF339A07C02 LAN IP Address 10.103.155.8 LAN Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Access Point's DHCP Server Disable (enabling makes no difference) LAN Port MAC Address 00-0D-54-A0-7C-02 Device Mode Access Point mode Wireless Networking Enabled Enable Channel 3 (other channels (1 and 11) make no difference) Service Area Name/SSID Croky (default 3Com also does not work) Device Name ap WPA Encryption Disabled WEP Encryption 128bit (Disabled makes no difference) Wireless MAC Address 00-0D-54-A0-7C-02 The access point log just says: 07 min(s) 01 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:04:20:05:A4:09 has connected with the device 07 min(s) 09 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:04:20:05:A4:09 has connected with the device 07 min(s) 17 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:04:20:05:A4:09 has connected with the device 07 min(s) 24 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:04:20:05:A4:09 has connected with the device 07 min(s) 32 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:04:20:05:A4:09 has connected with the device 07 min(s) 40 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:04:20:05:A4:09 has connected with the device 07 min(s) 55 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:04:20:05:A4:09 has connected with the device 08 min(s) 03 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:04:20:05:A4:09 has connected with the device 08 min(s) 11 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:04:20:05:A4:09 has connected with the device 08 min(s) 19 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:04:20:05:A4:09 has connected with the device 08 min(s) 27 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:04:20:05:A4:09 has connected with the device 08 min(s) 35 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:04:20:05:A4:09 has connected with the device 08 min(s) 43 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:04:20:05:A4:09 has connected with the device 08 min(s) 51 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:04:20:05:A4:09 has connected with the device 08 min(s) 59 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:04:20:05:A4:09 has connected with the device 09 min(s) 07 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:04:20:05:A4:09 has connected with the device 09 min(s) 15 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:04:20:05:A4:09 has connected with the device 09 min(s) 22 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:04:20:05:A4:09 has connected with the device The wireless connectivity view option on the SB2 keeps giving a number of 90-91%, which drops to 81-85% when I unscrew the antenna. But occasionally it shows 0%, both with and without antenna.
I didn't have the problem with firmware 1.03.07, but upgraded to 1.03.07A and am not able to connect.
The problem is that firmware 1.03.07A is sending REASSOCIATE_RESPONSE messages instead of ASSOCIATE_RESPONSE. Fix in the works.
Fixed in firmware 11 (6.0.x branch) and 12 (trunk).
