Pure coincidence. Your android phone won't be 2G only, it might have been able to talk on those bands, but it will support higher. Wireless ethernet uses a different radio in the device, they're unrelated. Reminds me of the "you changed the server and now my car won't start" users, which are sadly all-too-real. Things to try: * Do other wireless clients have a problem with the home wireless? Isolate if its the AP or the client. * Does your device connect to other wireless networks and still see the cellular provider ok? * Have you installed any new software recently? VOIP software that may strongly prefer wireless ethernet over cellular data? * Check with a wifi scanner for new wireless networks in your area - if the home AP is dual band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) then is the problem with the crowded 2.4 GHz band ? * Reboot the client - hard power off reboot. * Forget the SSID, then reboot device and reconnect. -- Criggie http://criggie.org.nz/ _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
