    New router, 15 meters and 4 walls..

    this is what I get now.. I moved the router 30cm from the previos spot, moved the wireless Siemens telephone in to the right of the router, so now is no longer in "between" laptop and router. It's on on the desktop in the room, so no higher shelf or elevated position. This is what speedtest...

    Issue with PowerLine device..

    Hi Tim, maybe I did not explain it well myself ...the Powerline product is with yellow/orange light in the router LAN port. It's a 200mbps Powerline from Devolo. So maybe the light is yellow/orange just because it's not Gigabit.. It still works fine though so maybe it's normal. I...

    New router, 15 meters and 4 walls..

    ... 15 meters, 4 walls, I have 4 out of 5 bars, and have an excellent speed .. (consider I have fibre now 30/30 mbit, but it's actually 34.7/34 testing with speednet test). The laptop reaches very good speed above 25 at least. So this router is very good for signal strenght and stability...

    WNDR 3700 and wifi performances...

    Thanks Tim, no static IP address is used or other DNS that could cause this. It works perfectly choosing 54/G.. no issue there. Wireless just creted after switching to this new router, all is new. The wireless is found also when using 130mbps or 300mbps, but you cannot surf or use the...

    Troubles setting up WNDR 3700...

    I am really getting mad... 54mbps in both 2.4 and 5 is the only way to have wireless working. 130mbps which is default says "internet access" but nothing can be browse, I can ping the router 192.168.1.1 though. 300 does not work either even if the card has N enabled. Either the my...

    WNDR3700 - external antennas mod

    well according to this picture http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/tUW4tKBIGT4nInKB.huge there are 4 antennas on the small side (left looking at the front/led side).. so in theory setting the 3700 horizontally with the 4 antennas pointed in the direction of the client, should give a better...

    many hidden antennas.. but direction?

    ..in the WNDR3700 130mbps settings are the default one, but why is the stability and performance so bad? 54mbps and 300mbps are more stable and not different in performance. Which one should I use long term? My laptop wifi uses Intel AR5B93 card... which is not the best and most...
