2. Fixed WPA Microsoft HotFix #815485 issue in Windows XP.
3. Solved "Connection Speed" at 108Mbps when connecting at "Auto 108" on the 108Mbps routers - WGT624, WGT634U.

(*) Note: The following features are not available for the "non-admin" accounts and are grayed out in the utility:
* Profile (Save or delete) and
* Fragmentatioin Threshold and RTS/CTS Threshold in the Advanced Settings.
Known Issues:
- If using WPA-PSK or WEP in Win98 or Win Me, the computer may need a complete shutdown and reboot in order to have a stable wireless connection. (*)

(Workaround: "Check" another Wireless Mode (54Mb or 11Mb) besides "108Mb 802.11g" on WG311T When trying to connect to "Auto 108" on WGT624/WGT634U.)

3. Re-Run WG311Tv300.exe

Windows 98se and Me users only:
(*) Windows 98SE/Me Question: In Windows 98se and Me. why cannot my WG311T get an IP address when I switch to a different AP from the AP browser list?
Answer: This is Windows 98se and Windows Me behavior (limitations) and not a WG311T bug. You should try the following two work-arounds:
(1) Run command-line windows (Start > Run > type in “Command” and enter)
(2) Execute “winipcfg” at the command prompt
(3) Click on “Renew All” button and wait for renewed IP to appear.
(4) If (3) fails (no IP after 1 minute). Try “Release All” first then “Renew All” again. Wait for renewed IP to appear.
Details: Windows 98SE/Me OS limitations: TCP/IP task will not be triggered to renew the IP address if the device is not going through a device disconnect/connect process (The driver media needs to go through disconnect/connect event).
