Using OpenWRT RC5 on a WRT54GS V4. Client can't connect to the wireless network. Using Windows as a client, the SSID shows up in the wireless network list. However, if you try to connect to it windows shows "Waiting for the Network" before returning to the network list (minus my SSID). My SSID shows back up after about 5 minutes of refreshing the network list. This problem is on multiple clients and the wireless network isn't using any encryption at the moment. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Here is my NVRAM:

Installed NAS, wireless network is not using an encryption method. Multiple clients still can't connect. Clients can see and connect to the wireless network after rebooting the router. However, they only stay connected for a minute or two before dropping the connection.

az7, try adding your wireless network manually by entering its SSID and the network key, if you are using one - and this fixed the problem for me. I use Windows XP, though. I had a similar problem as you have described, but in my case, it wouldn't even connect properly. The utility on Windows would show that I have decent signal strength, but when I try to connect, it disappears and says it is out-of-range.
