Hello, Have just upgraded to warp speed on Telstra Clear and the engineer said my wireless router was holding back my wireless as I got 94MB d/l on wired but only 20mb d/l on wireless. Now I did research before hand and from what I found my Cisco Linksys WRT 120N would be fine as it does wireless G and N. I am more thinking its a setting rather than its not capable, if its not capable can you recommend one to get thats not overly priced. My current settings are: Network mode - mixed (Options are - mixed, BG mixed, N only, G only, B only, disabled) Channel width - 20MHz only (Options are - Auto 20 MHz or 40 MHz, 20MHz only, 40MHz only) Standard channel - 6-2.437GHz (options are various similar numbers) Thank you for any help, Scott

And what results do you get from 40 MHz wide N?? Ross ADSL2+ sync (Kbps): 11577/945, attenuation (dB): 33.0/16.9, Noise margin (dB): 11.5/11.5

It dependss entirely what sort of environment you're in. If you're in a crowded environment with lots of other AP's you'll probably struggle to get more than 30Mbps, no matter what sort of gear you use. Wileless isn't a replacement for cabled Ethernet connections, it's complimentary. *Need help configuring your Linksys ATA or IP Phones for New Zealand? Check my blog post

Spyware: And what results do you get from 40 MHz wide N?? Wiresless stops working, even with various combinations, only seems to work on mixed/20MHz.

So you potentially don't have hardware that supports 40MHz at the other end. In a good environment with good kit you're only going to get ~60Mbps anyway. If you want better speeds move to dual band kit, but you'll need to upgrade the devices you're using to connect to the wireless as well. *Need help configuring your Linksys ATA or IP Phones for New Zealand?
