![]() ![]() I heard this might be because the router will transmit at the speed of the slowest device on the network? If that's the case, then I understand why they added a separate 5ghz transmitter for the fast N devices. Even my laptop can detect that the router can provide up to 300. Technically, the way it does 5ghz and 2.4ghz at the same time is by having two separate AP's inside the router, transmitting with two different SSIDs (the 5ghz one just adds the word "-5ghz" to the end of your assigned SSID).Īs I brought my laptop with me to the router (so i could use ethernet cable while i messed with the wifi settings), i noticed the speed went all the way up to 65mbps! This must mean I am in wireless N mode! Granted, that only happened when the signal strength was between -10dB and 0dB (5 feet away from router), but it works! Now the question is why I am only running at 65, when the router is clearly 300mbps capable. If you disable everything but N and connect, then you don't need anything to show you which mode you connected in, it would have to be N I would disable 5GHz and see how you get on Never having used 5GHz on my router, can you actually have 5GHz and 2.4GHz simultaneously ? Thanks for taking the time to read my question, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I'm not sure what that is, but this laptop is only 18 months old, so I doubt it. Someone said this might be because older wireless adapters only run in "Draft N" mode. ![]() In fact, I don't see anything regarding wireless mode settings anywhere. In device manager, it has a "Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter", but in the 'advanced' tab of the adapter properties, there isn't any option for setting the wireless mode, just crap like "WZC IBSS Channel" and "BSS PLCP Header" and "WTF OMG BBQ Threshold". I transfer large files very often, so this is kinda important to me. ![]() But my netbook only sees the 2.4ghz G mode option, and when connected, I get a measily 2mB/s file transfer rate, which is pretty much the same as my internet connection. He is able to connect to the N mode just fine, and proves it by transferring files across the network at 10mB/s. On my friend's laptop, he has the option to connect to two different wireless networks in my residence: one for G mode 2.4ghz, and one for N mode 5ghz. I have a little Samsung NF210 netbook, and its a sexy little white thing compared to most netbooks, but I can't get the Wireless N mode to work. ![]()
