I cannot configure the unit, i get a limited or no connectivity using LAN cable. I tried resetting the unit, but got the same problem. Tested the unit w a NIC tester and it gave me an error sign.
I have just a few questions in order to assist you! I hope this ok?
What type of PC are you using? Desktop or Laptop?
What type of Router are you using? Linksys, D-link, Netgear, Internet Service Provider, verizon, at&t, comcast? What type of Modem? I just need more information in order to help! Let me know I will assist you!
What is your Internet Service Provider? If you are recieving limited or no connectivety It is for 1 of 3 reasons:
Your Modem is not Activated
Your IP address is set for Obtain an IP address automatically
Your cable is bad
Your NIC card is bad.
But my best guess is that your PC is not getting any type of connectivty because your modem may not be active. Let us narrow down some of these issues!
So let us find out if it is by trying to connect another PC up to your modem. If that works then we no that your Modem is active!
Next will be to disable your NIC card on your PC and re-enable it!
Click on start go to Control Panel
Click on Network Connections
Find LAN (Local Area Connection)
Right Click on it and Disable it
After it is Disabled Right click on it again
Enable it
Try this if this does not work get back to me! I have to go through some other things with you, let us take it a step at a time!

Hold the reset pin on the back of the router for 30 seconds to reset the router configuration.
You might have to try a few times.
See if your computer connects to the default LINKSYS ssid.
If you are able to connect, then it was a configuration issue. Or some corruption of the router's firmware.
Connect your computer to the router using a network cable, and go to http://192.168.1.1 username: (nothing) password: admin
Download the latest firmware for the router, and configure it for better security. Do the configuration step by step, to see which actual part of the securing stops communications.
A good security measure would be the following, test wireless connection after each change (you would need to configure your computer wireless settings accordingly. You have to be connected by a wire while doing the changes or you might lock yourself out):
1. change the router password
2. Turn off SSID broadcasting
3. Change the ssid from LINKSYS to something only you would know, like BwRiAfNiDY (it is not case sensitive). Write down the name as you will need it to configure the laptop wireless.
4. Setup personal WPA TKIP / AES encryption
If you are far away from the router when using it wirelessly, and it starts losing connectivity, drop it's speed to a lower setting.

I'm using a laptop, there is no router between my pc and the Unit. I directly connected my pc to the unit to configure it. Im using the supplied cable that came w the box.
i cannot configure the unit, i get a limited or no connectivity using LAN
cable. I tried resetting the unit, but got the same problem. Tested the
unit w a NIC tester and it gave me an error sign.
I bought an engenius eoc2610, wireless access point/client bridge/client router to use instead of my usb edimax device, i had the same problem configuring it but got some success... The ip address of the engenius unit on mine is 192.168.1.1 you need to assign your pc with static ip address of anything in the same range ie the first 3 sets of numbers must be the same the last can be anywhere between 0 and 255 but not 1 as this is the address of the engenius unit eg set pc to 192.168.1.5 subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 this will allow you to web into the engenius home page and configure it to your requirements, when you have configured the unit you need to go back into your pc settings and tick obtain ip address automatically again, this got me working with my d-link di 634 wireless router, however i wanted to connect to my eircom router and this procedure does not work for me..... the engenius associates with the eircom router and a link is established but i cannot access the internet.... this is frustrating as i can with my cheapy edimax usb... i am doing something wrong but after 5 days trying i cant figure out what....:-(
