Two ideas: Could a neighbor have added a 2.4GHz device (phone, wireless router/AP, etc)? 802.11b occupies fewer channels than 802.11g, so switching may have moved your channel uses far enough from the offending device's use of the spectrum to eliminate the interference. As SuperQ pointed out, there were changes to WPA encryption. Were you using WPA? Switching to B would've forced a change to WEP, bypassing another possible cause for your problem. -=> Jim -- JimC "well, she wasn't all of that, but she sure was some of that." -- BKlaas' college buddy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JimC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46789 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
