I shouldn't have used the word inferior, as it doesn't get anything resolved - they don't magically fix the design retrospectively. I used it because I was frustrated, and these problems wouldn't be there if the device supported 802.11n. Better range and speed are both good, but the best feature is 5 GHz which I'm the only one using here - while there are 30ish network using 2.4 GHz around me. What I tweaked was the channel in the 2.4 GHz band - it went from completely unusable to annoying. Strength in the airport preferences is already at 100% (I've also turned on interference robustness there). The signal strengths of the neighbouring networks range from strong to very faint and appearing after a many minutes in Kismac. I should add that I can stream youtube HD, spotify and last.fm with no problems on a laptop in the same spot. I also use these services extensively elsewhere - my iMac, AppleTV, a laptop and iPod Touch all do a bit of streaming. I think that the network is tweaked as much as I can - locations aren't flexible. Thus I was hoping for a way to make it use a one minute buffer or something similar. -- xyzzy01 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ xyzzy01's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34106 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71064 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
