I noticed something interesting today about FireFox and my wireless router...

When I tried to change the security on the wireless page, it wouldn't accept my click on the "Accept" button... Sad Smile

Now when I tried it with IE...it took it just fine. The weird part is...that FF works fine on everything except fer that page and only when security was enabled... Sad Smile

I even tried updating to the latest firmware of 1.21... Wonder why that is? Confused

Its just you. they did have problems with the older firmware not clicking when one updated info. I havent had that problem in a year or so

Well...I tried it with 4 different computers...all have the latest FireFox 1.5.0.1...so it can't be that. Big Smile

Two of them have the IE tab installed... Confused

Go figure... Sad Smile

it might not use the installed system recognised version, for whateva !?

or it might be an ActiveX type Submit button.
Firefox won't load my D-Link Camera pictures, IE auto-asks-loads the insert ok

I've uninstalled/reinstalled Java just to be on the safe side...still no go. Shocking Smile

I don't think Java has anything to do with just that button though...on that page...and with security enabled. It works just fine on all the other pages and on that page when security is NOT enabled. Sad Smile

I've noticed that problem on a few site that I pay bills on... the company says there's some incompatabilities between IE and Firefox (big suprise there) and that they are working to get the sites updated to allow full compatability of Firefox. I'm sure that's the problem. Probably some dinky IE-only quirk of a form entry that Firefox doesn't translate well. With security enabled it probably takes some "IE user friendly option" off

at least that's my theory

He's having problems with the router interface not clicking properly. not with FF in general. My one BIG suggestion would be to push the reset button on the back of the router. this sets it to factory defaults. then try to reinstall the firmware again. They have noted on the Dlink site that some of the firmware updates have caused that problem

EEps · Posted: Mon Apr 10, 2006 7:23 pm Post subject:

Yup...even tried the reset... Sad Smile

Even tried a previous version of the firmware... Sad Smile

But the only time that button doesn't work in FF is when I enable security. It works fine any other time. All the other buttons work fine in FF, too! So what gives? Sad Smile

if it's security related, you are on a "web site"
has this site been "trusted" ?

Well...yes. It's my router config page... Wink Smile

It's when security is enabled for wireless is when the "Apply" button doesn't work in FF. The button works in FF if I don't enable the wireless security.

It's just frustrating that the security can't be set using FF and one has to use IE to make it work.

BTW SSID broadcast should be OFF. even with a pass key you'll still end up with people banging on your wireless trying to get in

Also your page is not set up the same as mine. What version of router is yours? Mine is ver. A1 I stuck with the firmware version 1.11 its stable and I don't have the glitches or a centrino processor that would cause me to update it.

SSID can be sniffed with all the wireless tools out there today without even a blink of yer mouse. It's just easier to enable it and lock it down via WPA-PSK. I have a key that's pretty long and will take awhile fer someone around here to crack it...it can be brute forced...but it will take time. Wink Smile

I have a version A1 router. As stated in my first post, I am running firmware 1.21. Wink Smile

Hi my friends, I'm the new one here Smile

Few days ago, I was bought an D-link router, but German version with HW rev b2 Neutral

Firmware version was 2.02DE but yesterday I change it to 2.03 ENG (heh, i live 8 miles away from Germany but my eng is quite better than deutsch Smile

) Ok, my question is, is there any differences between devices with rev C (rest of the world) and rev B (grrr Germany) ? I found hacked/moded firmware for rev C and I'm not sure that it will running well with my rev. Thanks.
