Ronni, Thanks for that, just some strange happenings with Wireless routers.
iPad 2 will connect to N 5GHZ routers which have been functioning for sometime, but iPad will not. MBP does without issue as does the iMacs if I switch them so. AS do all other laptops and eligible Wireless N 5GHZ devices. iPad will only function on backup Wireless routers, which are functioning as G and N network. Normally, and are again. But iPhones today have decided they do not like the N as has iPads. because some tech over weekend switched backup to N 2.4GHZ only. Many iPhones, iPads, and peoples not happy when arriving. Trying to sort, just a brain fart when confronted with issues. Apologies for cryptic message and thanks for info. I personally find G very sufficient for iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Blackberries, and Androids, general usage, streaming, emails dictation, presentations, social networking. It is the data transferring N kicks in markedly more efficient, but only at 5GHZ which needs to be set as such no dual, or it does not sustain specification. 2.4 is only a little above G, but battery life is better at N, distance not so much either way. N can go through walls, but G bounces better. Cheers! `RobD..
