| 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 | |

| 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. | |
| 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. | |
| DLINK | 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. | |
| DLINK | DWL2200P | unknown | In field only | This AP was tested and may be used in Nepal | |

| 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. | |
| 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. | |

| 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. | |
