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
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.

Airlink 101 AR525W v1.0.50 Yes Used WEP-Open with 128-bit hex key password

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)
FON La Fonera 2100E Release: 0.7.1.2 Yes Security: WEP, Type: Open System, 64-bit key password
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.
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.

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 WPA enabled (G1G1 build 656). The only

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