Hi Aragorn,

I was asking whether I should upgrade my router. Isn't 11b surpose to reach 11MB and g 54mb?

I cant see any setting in my router that would allow me to change whether it accepted b or g. I know some g devices support b. On the website they just say the following as part of the spec

High speed for wireless LAN connection: support both IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g. Up to 54 Mbps data rate when operates in 802.11g mode.

I have a wireless USB adaptor. Its a Safecom ZD1211 b+g adaptor. I looked through the setting and did not see anything saying b or g though I did see something Tx Rate that mentioned a list of different Mbs so I set it to 54MB before it was set to auto. the strength is really low though.

Let me know try and boot up into ubuntu and check I tend to get better signal stregth I dont know why as the router is only about 3 meters away from pc and is in the same room.
