I agree on trying #1, G devices will likely disconnect but should automatically reconnect without any additional authentication. I've turned OFF b/G mode on many WiFi routers, making them G only, I've never had a G device not reconnect by itself.
Have you done a WiFi site survey? Other WiFi's near you possibly using the same ch #? Some very basic WiFi tweaks to possibly improve signal strength and reliability ___Router Administration Basics (1-5 require admin access to your router): 1. use a unique SSID name (name of your network/router) 2. if using a G WiFi: set WiFi to G only (turns off a & b modes) 3. if using an N WiFi: set to G Compatibility mode (if using G devices) 4. change the broadcast channel to the least used channel near you (see *) 5. choose only channels 1 or 6 or 11 (or 13 if available) ___Physical (location) 6. router and WiFi antenna orientation adjustments can help signal strength 7. try to locate the router as “central” to the home as possible, keeping in mind length & width & height 8. keep router away from other electronic devices (cordless phones, ISP modem, computers) ___Simple Maintenance 9. reboot WiFi router every once in a while (once a month is usually sufficient) * If your WiFi network card software already gives the ch numbers and the signal strength of all nearby networks, that's all you need. But there are free programs like NetStumbler if needed. -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92262 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
