My ISP (which also has video on demand) obliges me to use their not very good modified SpeedTouch wireless router. I also have a much better LinkSys WRT54GX wireless router. I find if I use the SpeedTouch then I get drop out on the wirelss SB3, presumably due to interference (there are a lot of other wireless signals around me, and if I connect the SB3 with a cable then I have no problems). Further if I copy large files between my laptop and desktop via the network then it causes more drop out on the SB3. I have tried changing channels to no avail.
I have also tried plugging the LinkSys into the SpeedTouch, disabling DHCP server on the LinkSys, and ensuring they use different channels. Then I can connect to either the LinkSys or SpeedTouch. I have also read that if you give both routers the same names and WEP encryption then you get "a stronger signal". What is meant by this? Is there a best way to use two routers to reduce interference from neighbours / my laptop, and increase overall bandwidth? -- rbl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rbl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4517 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45855 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
