>From memory I wouldn't run the Router at that power level, in fact I think some of the higher levels actually reduce the output? You my do some damage in the load term. Search in google and you will find answers. Instead of cranking the power up (which also cranks up the noise btw), try placing the router higher (or at least the antenna) / in a different position. Connection reset by host means that one end of the tcp conn, (generally the opposite end to where the error was received), has deliberately killed the connection, but in a bad way. Yes as in the wireless dropped out or maybe something else on the host has happened? I use my WRT54G as a bridge. Not sure how to get it to be a repeater. BTW repeating wireless halves the throughput Steve -- mctubster ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mctubster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=353 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48985 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
