This page provides a listing of routers that have been tested for compatibility with the XO Laptop.

Wireless Access Point Compatibility
Manufacturer Model Firmware Tested Build Notes
2Wire 2700HG-B GATEWAY 4.25.19 Unsecured Didn't work / couldn't find on channel 4. Changed to channel 5 and XO found it and connected just fine. Unsecured network.
2Wire 2701HG-B GATEWAY 5.29.47 Yes Had to change the internet mode from the default of 802.11b/g to 802.11g
2Wire 3800HGV-B Gateway 5.29.105.76 Yes ATT Uverse supplied, changed WPA to WEP-open and assigned to channel 8 as opposed to Automatic
Actiontec MI424WR Unknown Yes WPA non-functional on update.1
Airlink 101 AR525W v1.0.50 Yes Used WEP-Open with 128-bit hex key password
Apple AirPort Express 6.3 Yes For WEP provide and select: ASCII + Shared key
Cisco AIR-BR1310G-A-K9-R 12.3(8)JA Unsecured Only Works but radio must be set to channels 1, 6, or 11. I normally configure this device to automatically choose the least congested frequency, but in my office that ends up being something other than 1, 6 and 11 most of the time. Note also that activity sharing totally fails with this AP - nada, zip.
Conceptronic C54BRS4A 1.00 Yes Joyride 2263 - Firmware Q2E12 Worked for WEP open with ASCII password.
D-Link DIR-615 2.20 Yes worked with WPA2 (personal) and the Wpa.sh script
D-Link DWL-G730AP 2.00 Yes Worked with WEP 128 as an access point.
D-Link DWL2100AP unknown In field only This AP was tested and may be used in Nepal. It was also tested for Australia/Pacific Islands where it was unsuccessful and unable to allocate DHCP addresses.
D-Link DWL2200P unknown In field only This AP was tested and may be used in Nepal
D-Link DWL3200P unknown In field only This AP was tested and may be used in Nepal


D-Link D-Link WBR-2310 1.02 Yes Open/WEP/WPA2 working. WPA fails, see: <trac>7825</trac>
FON La Fonera 2100E Release: 0.7.1.2 Yes Security: WEP, Type: Open System, 64-bit key password
Linksys WAG54G V2 1.01.22 Yes Tested with no security; also with WAP
Linksys BEFW11 S4 version 2 1.45.10 Yes 650, 708, 2230 Tested with WEP 128-bit key. A few times with build 708 I had to return to Neighborhood View to reconnect after standby, and once I had to re-enter the hex key.
Linksys WCG200-CC Yes Tested with no security; also with WEP 128 passphrase. See Sharing_User_Experiences_with_OLPC_XO_Wifi_Connectivity_-_Glew_2007_Jan for trick.
Linksys WRT54G 4.21.1 1/20/2007 Yes Use channel 1, 6, or 11 (see Wifi_Connectivity#Channel).
Linksys WRT54G V4 DD-WRT v23 SP2 micro Yes WEP connects fine all channels, WPA2 via wpa.sh script.
Linksys WRT54GL OpenWRT WhiteRussian (RC4) Yes tested using no security (MAC based access control) on channel 3


Linksys WRT54GL OpenWRT Kamikaze 7.09~ Yes WPA works.
Linksys WRT54GL v4.30.11, Aug. 7, 2007 Yes WPA2 via Wpa.sh, G-only on channel 6

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). On the router: Name: lettersonly, Channel: 11, Mode: g only, Security Options: WEP, Authentication type: Shared key, Encryption Strength: 128bit, Key 1. On the XO: Key Type: Hex, key: <the same as router Key 1>, Authentication Type: Shared Key.

B4 image 703. Hardware Version: V3H1 Firmware Version: V2.0.10_1.0.1NA. WEP worked only in Open System Mode. WPA worked in both TKIP, AES and auto modes.

NETGEAR WPN824v2 V2.0.10_1.2.17 Yes G1G1 Tested WEP 128-bit PSK with 1.2.17 firmware (XO builds 650, 653), WPA2 CCMP PSK with 2.0.10 firmware (on build joyride-1500). 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.
Siemens Gigaset SE567 004-E652-A3D-115-36-13 WPA-PSK Joyride-2301 Firmware q2e13 Security: WPA-PSK+TKIm Channel: 6 Mode: mixed b/g

TP-LINK TL-WA501G v2.0.0 Yes Works with WEP(open, 128-bit shared key)in all channels
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)
Zyxel P-660HW-D1 Version: V3.40(AGL.4) Yes No security
