    MIMO, Antennas, and DIR-825

    To open the unit, remove the rubber pads on the bottom to reveal two screws. Once the screws are removed, the unit will pop apart with a little force. As for separating the two bands, I don't see any benefit. They inherently don't interfere with one another. The only time I would imagine an...

    MIMO, Antennas, and DIR-825

    Update: The router came today and it is an A1 model. I tested it and everything works on it by default b, g, n ( 2.5 & 5.0). I then removed one of the two antennas from both of the cards, and I could still connect to the router. I didn't try any throughput tests. I then removed the second...

    Extending network using wireless between two hubs

    You could grab this or any other dd-wrt/tomato compatible router, and like thiggins said, use it as a wireless ethernet bridge. You can easily find directions on how to load the custom firmware and configure it by googling. Your upstairs router might work too depending on what version it is but...

    MIMO, Antennas, and DIR-825

    Thanks jdabbs for clearing that up. I noticed that too, but where is the fun in that? Getting a device that works great out of the box. I probably could have kept my 802.11g network, but I had reached the limit as far as how much I could mess with it. My home network is a jumble of wireless...

    MIMO, Antennas, and DIR-825

    Thank you jdabbs. Hopefully this won't get to the point of modifying firmware. I was hopping to figure out how this works without doing a "mod and see" approach. Hopefully it will be a B1 model (I think you got the models switched or maybe the review is misleading) but for $25 I can't complain...

    MIMO, Antennas, and DIR-825

    Long time reader. First time poster. After searching the internet, I'm still confused, and I thought someone might be able to help me. If I have a MIMO client and one or more of the antennas are disconnected/not present, does the device automatically change modes to function using the...
