Was running SB2 with Linksys WAG54G ADSL wireless modem/router. Worked OK when connected but sometimes erratic getting that connection. Router is in upstairs front bedroom (wired connection to server) and SB2 downstairs back living room. Only about 6 feet away horizontally and one floor below but in a corner (brick walls/hi-fi/TV/speakers etc) which I think made reception poor.
The Linksys went down on its cabled ports on Weds and I bought a Netgear DG834PN - MIMO/108Mbs model - figuring MIMO would give the additional signal strength over the range. Came with a Netgear WPN 511 card which works fine (and very fast) in the laptop. However, the SB2 will not connect with the DG834PN. Tried everything suggested in forums and more. _Have_ had the occasional connection with all security modes turned off but whenever the connection is lost I can't get it back and couldn't run an open network anyway. Tech support has been assisting but don't actually have a DG834PN available to test at the moment and we haven't yet found a solution. Linksys is under warranty and going back for exchange for a current WAG354G but will take a couple of weeks and can't manage with nothing in that time. I could just put the SB away for now and try again with the WAG354G (if it will connect!) What are the best recommended UK ADSL modem wireless routers that have proven rock solid with the SB2? I might be able to pick one up cheap on eBay or trade the new WAG354G when it turns up for something proven. -- goldnet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ goldnet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4191 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21489 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
