Microsoft MN-700 02.01.02.0590 Yes Connects only when base station wireless security encryption is set to "none". Tried unsuccessfully to connect with WEP, and then with WPA enabled (G1G1 build 656). The only

wireless security setting that works with this router and OLPC is Mac filtering.

NETGEAR WGR614v6 V2.0.14_1.0.14 Yes joyride-2230 / firmware Q2E12 Works alright with WPA encryption.
NETGEAR WGT624v3 ? "Tested"?? B4, joyride 1597, q2d10. The following settings worked (some others did not).

Saw occasional failures to connect. When switching from WEP to WPA2, had to wipe out /home/olpc/.sugar/default/nm/networks.cfg, use the Wpa.sh script, and reboot. Working fine now.
NETGEAR WGR614v10 V1.0.2.18_47.0.52NA Yes 802 (release 8.2.1), XO-1 firmware Q2E41 Tested WPA2-PSK with passphrase. In the wireless key dialog, I had to choose Encryption Type AES-CCMP rather than the default "Automatic", but other than that it worked fine.

TRENDnet TEW432BRP_c1 v2.00.0012 WEP Does not show up in neighborhood until you attempt to connect to another WAP (e.g. at a neighbors house). The Trendnet then immediately shows up, and you can connect to it instead. Is on channel 9, maybe 1,6,11 would work better.
Westell D90-327W15-06 VER:4.03.02.04 Yes Security: WEP, Type: Open System, 128-bit key password (13 characters)
