D-Link DIR-615
 

Morning all just a quick question about above router, in wireless settings where its says Transmission Rate its set to best automatic & i cant change it to anything else, also Wireless Channel is on 6 & i cant change that, can someone please tell me how to do it so i can get best speed from router. Thanks in advance.

Re: D-Link DIR-615
 

you need to uncheck the "enable auto scan box "to allow you manually select the channel in the drop down box

Just incase you dont know, if you are setting your own channel, it might be worth using something like this http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider to make sure you dont clash with any neighbours on the same channel

ok thanks for that, just checked my Wireless section where it says mode & im in
11a/g how do i change it to N so i can get full speed for wireless, will my PS3 pick up N as i gave my usb adaptor to my brother to borrow.

Re: D-Link DIR-615
 

no unfortunately it wont and if im reading you right, the usb adaptor wont work by putting it in the usb port on the ps3. Is wired not a workable option for you?

Click advanced, advanced wireless, wireless mode drop down menu and select mixed n/g/b

Thanks for that tried wired & cable kept poping out of PS3,may be if i could buy a decent ethernet cable might work better, can you recommend one. just checked on advanced wireless, wireless mode drop down menu and select mixed n/g/b & it was already on it, so should try with a new ethernet cable,

Re: D-Link DIR-615
 

if its the cable thats faulty, you can pick them up anywhere, this site seems cheap enough, add £2.82 postage http://www.cabling4less.co.uk/index.php?pageLayoutId=2 but theres loads out there. If you cant be bothered ordering online then bob down to comet,currys pc world etc You're much better going wired than wireless on the ps3

Thanks a lot for all your help, ill check online & in the shops later football is on now. ;)

Incidentally most wireless connections will only use up to channel 11 as in the USA that is all it goes up to so a lot of equipment will not go beyond it. Therefore if your wireless connection is causing problems try 12 or 13 which you will probably find are better. This doesn't always work. In Japan they have a channel 14.
