I think the issue is when multiple a,g,n adapters are connected continously and simultaneously to the same AP. The AP has to use the lowest common denominator to maintain communications with all the adapters. -- tamanaco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
