was 1st Gen iPad: now wireless in general
I have been watching this discussion with interest as I have just purchased a 2TB time capsule and set up up to replace the wireless portion of by Telstra modem. I don't see any great speed difference between the Telstra wireless and the TC wireless on my ipad or iphone but do see some sped up on my Imac and MB, but I was expecting more speed up How do I know which network 2.4 or 5 each device is connecting to? Apart from airport utility is there any way to tweak the broadcast settings of the TC?

It is the data transferring N kicks in markedly more efficient, but only at 5GHZ which needs to be set as such no dual, or it does not sustain specification. 2.4 is only a little above G, but battery life is better at N, distance not so much either way. N can go through walls, but G bounces better. Cheers! `RobD..

Hi Rob, Are you asking questions? Does the First Generation iPad utilise both 2.5GHz 5GHz? Yes it does, but the range with 2.4GHz is much better. For now wireless N is the fastest wireless technology that can give a maximum speed of up to 300Mbps or more. With dual band, iPAD can support the network in both frequency bands 2.4GHz or 5GHz. The best wireless router for iPad should support the wireless n dual-band technology with Quality of Services technology. Is the iPhone only 2.4GHz? Yes ...

How do I know which network 2.4 or 5 each device is connecting to? Apart from airport utility is there any way to tweak the broadcast settings of the TC? Option click hold on the Airport icon in your Desktop Menu Bar. It shows all details of what Network you are connected to. “Tweak the broadcast settings of the TC”? I’m not sure what you actually mean, you can ‘improve Wi-Fi Performance’. Overcome Interference: Interference from other Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi devices using the same spectrum is one of the most frustrating problems to deal with in making an AirPort network work well. Eliminate Conflicting Signals: Run iStumbler (http://www.istumbler.com/) to determine whether other networks are running in the vicinity. Investigate your cordless phones and microwave oven as culprits— they can both create static on the Wi-Fi line. For 5 GHz: Check whether you have 5.8 GHz cordless phones. I won’t go into anything more until I know exactly what you wish to know ;-) Cheers, Ronni Best Regards Hugh Griffiths mobile +61 407 477 311 office +61 (0) 8 6424 4801 Any commercial terms stated or implied are subject to final approval and negotiations.
