You can't, it's a standard 802.11g signal. BTW this doesn't necessarily mean "802.11n capable", if the spec should change these early implementations will be out in limbo. Some manufacturers have promised compatibility with any adopted standard through firmware updates, even hardware updates. > Also, if someone (like me) isn't broadcasting their SSID, will > NetStumbler show them at all? Yes, NetStumbler will still show them all. Stop the train for a sec, you just mentioned something here. You say you're hiding your SSID. Look at the problems other forum members are having doing this: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31904 Might want to try enabling SSID broadcast, keeping in mind it doesn't increase security, you're broadcasting it through several other means anyway. > Another thing I've yet to try is to reposition the router - it's rather > surrounded by cabinets and bits of computer at the moment!

If any of that is metal, it's blocking the signal. -- Mark Lanctot "It's like, you know, a New Age religion, but with better treble response." - Jon Heal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31330 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
