Problems with wireless dissapearing
Hi There,
Just arranged a 50mb mates rates upgrade for my parents and seem to be experiencing some strange problems with the wireless.
The majority of the pc's are all cabled in and appear to be working properly but i have configured the superhub for wireless and its just not working properly. im using it on 2.4ghz on channel 11 and my pc keeps losing the wireless signal. encryption is WPA2 Personal, timeouts, It seems to ve a range issue. Pings between my laptop and router on 192.168.0.1 appear to be timing out. My parents live in a modest 3 bedroom terraced property, If im in the room with the router i get solid responses, However move too the room next door or downstairs and i get timeouts. Any suggestions?, I have the same superhub myself but i dont use the superhub in my home, I have a separate netgear that i use for wireless.

Re: Problems with wireless dissapearing
Try a channel below 9 or possibly leave it on auto?
Also change the wireless mode to up to 145Mbps.

Re: Problems with wireless dissapearing
Is this a known problem with the Superhub?
I've kept our Router on channel 11 for years - and the Superhub in the last month or so, but the last few days (possibly since the R25 update?) it's become unreliable.

You have answered your own question here.
I had to post this as I was told I was not very helpful with my last one. Perhaps VM will be more helpful with supplying better kit in trhe future.

Re: Problems with wireless dissapearing
Everything seemed to be ok when I changed the channel to 9 after it was recommended in the above posts (although the signal strength isn't anywhere near as good as it is on Channel 11), but since R26 the wireless seems to stop working after a short time.
A reboot of the "Superhub" or restarting the wireless through the web interface makes it work again for a while, but it's very annoying.
Does anyone have any idea what could be happening?

Re: Problems with wireless dissapearing
Try changing the DCHP lease time, just stick an extra 0 on it.

Thanks.
I've given that a go.
I've also put the wireless channel to "AUTO".

Re: Problems with wireless dissapearing
Auto channel select does not seem to be a good option for the superhub. Use InSSider to see what other wireless channels may be interfering with your signal and select a channel accordingly.
