iPhone 3G and Linksys WAG54G v3 incompatibility
For some reason the iPhone 3G will not connect to this wireless router. There has been talk that this is fixed in the latest firmware but as of writing this it is not fixed in the latest AU/NZ firmware (1.00.23).
I found a temporary solution for the problem though. If you limit your router to 802.11B only then the iPhone will connect without a problem. As soon as it’s changed to mixed network or 802.11G only then it will fail to connect.
Update: I’ve found that the AU firmware from the AU linksys site works fine on the NZ WAG54Gv3. I’m using 1.00.46 and the iPhone 3G now connects under 802.11G without a problem.

Thank you so much for this post.
You have finally put an end to 4 days of resetting, restoring, reading support articles, reading dozens of forum posts on “ipod touch 2.0 wi-fi problems” …..
i upgraded the router firmware and it all works fine.
thanks again!

Hey dude,
I have a WAG54g V3, and I’m running 1.00.63 if you want a copy of it.

Hi There,
I had the same problem, and also upgraded the firmware which seemed to fix the iphone connectivity, but I have since noticed poor connection to the internet through the router and rang my provider, they told me that it has been dropping out regularly since July 11th (iPhone day) and also the day that I upgraded the firmware.
Has anyone else had this issue.
Thanks
