[QUOTE="msivers, post: 1441336, member: 269802"] Following up from my previous post... I was getting 1.2 - 1.4 Mbits download speeds (speedtest.net) on a broadband line reported at over 10 Mbits downstream on the router. By playing around with the wireless settings on the router I was able to get download speeds of 9.98 Mbits which is what I would expect. I had to play around quite a bit before I got there with varying results achieved by disabling/enabling different options and selecting different channels. In the end this is the configuration that working for me on the router's WLAN settings... Network Mode: Mixed (B/G/N) AP Isolation: Disable MBSSID AP Isolation: Disable Channel: 6 Operating Mode: Green Field Channel BandWidth: 20MHz Guard Interval: Auto MCS: Auto Reverse Direction Grant: Disable Extension Channel: 2 Aggregation MSDU (A-MSDU): Enable I think in future, as our household use predominately Apple devices and computers, it's going to be worthwhile buying Apple's Airport products for wireless as they appear to be, not surprisingly, well configured to work with Macs and iDevices - i'm sure in typical Apple style, it just works! Hope this info helps. Regards... [/QUOTE]
