I decided to take the WiFi plunge to support my new Droid3 smartphone, which is 802.11g capable and connects fine at work. This AP (externally powered) was able to start up on my home LAN and obtain an IP address from DHCP services offered by an old SonicWall SOHO2. Relying on the IOS Configuration Guide, I was unable to get it to produce a signal that was detectable by my phone, which had no trouble detecting a few signals from my neighbors (I live in a house). I had the radio enabled, and configured it to autoselect the least used channel, which happened to be 9.
Running out of ideas, one day I noticed it was configured for a static IP address and mindlessly set it to DHCP. Of course I lost ethernet connection; so I repowered it. I ended up with a solid green Status LED, but no joy for an HTTP connection. I decided to reset it by powering it up with the Mode button depressed. Instead of getting the documented amber color from the Status LED after 1 to 2 seconds, I got a flashing blue, followed by a flashing green, followed by a solid green. It failed to register an IP address via the SOHO2 DHCP; so, I repowered with the Mode button depressed one more time. Only this time, the Status LED no longer lights up, nor does the Ethernet LED. I suspect it's bricked.
