inconsistent wireless performance
 

Does anybody have advice to give me as my wireless performance has been inconsistent ever since l have upgraded to 30mb and got the Superhub as it drops in and out quite a lot and sometimes says that l cannot find any networks or Windows cannot connect to Virgin Media and the thing is l never had these problems when l was on a lower speed.

Re: inconsistent wireless performance
 

does your wireless chip/adapter match up to the set settings?

funny you post this, i just asked Masque here why 30Mb customers don't get the adapter within the package.

Buy your own router, the super hub wifi is poor

Re: inconsistent wireless performance
 

no it isn't. although it needs improving firmware wise i can't vouch for it being useless. i've used 2.4GHz and 5GHz on the SH and speed wise I didn't have any issues, it always gave me a reasonable result and range. for me its now playing up glitch'ing because of the poor wireless chips in 2 of my laptops.

OP, if you do go for a high end router consider the new TP Link released yet not for sale as yet.. http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/87...b-routers.html

Where do l find the wireless chip/adapter settings as l am not a expert on these matters.

Re: inconsistent wireless performance
 

right click my computer > properties > device manager or hardware tab; device manager > network adapters > find your wireless adapter and double click > * > advanced tab > note the properties

* tell us what adapter you have if you don't know what your looking at within advanced tab

l think this is it below


it is Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g Wi Fi adapter

Re: inconsistent wireless performance
 

No it isn't

Re: inconsistent wireless performance
 

Yes it is, my £10 dlink 615 wipes the floor with the hub

Re: inconsistent wireless performance
 

jb the superhub can still do the basics at a reasonable level. 30Mb users should get an adapter within their package.

your chips outdated. you can buy a dual band USB adapter, ifyour willing to invest in a usb adapter go for the top range one. most if not all top spec adapters have been out for a while now so you should be able to get a decent fairly reasonably priced adapter on the net.

Re: inconsistent wireless performance
 

No they shouldn't, only 50 or 100 do

Re: inconsistent wireless performance
 

l never thought the chips would get outdated that quickly so its highly likely l will get a dual band USB adapter by someone like Netgear or Belkin looking on some sites on the internet.

Re: inconsistent wireless performance
 

whats the harm in people getting the adapter if they require it? will it make much of difference as theres probably a huge supply in stock given the fact many 50 and 100Mb customers didn't get an adapter when they got their services installed.

Re: inconsistent wireless performance
 

Company policy, I think you should only get one if you call up, I've gave loads out and the customer has no intention of using it

Re: inconsistent wireless performance
 

everythings 'N' now mate. Belkins ok for adapters, i haven't had experience with netgear to comment but their probably good too. theres cisco the daddy too.
