Ralph, Thanks for your help. What's the most stable firmware level? I have 2.2. ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Wireless/DWL900AP+/Firmware shows 2.50 and 2.52.

If I disable power saving mode or select left antenna, the signal strength increases nicely, but it misbehaves. Your helpful web page http://ralphfowler.com says the DWL-900AP+ can handle up to 30V. So maybe I should just find a 9V or 12V wall wart? Alan __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
