The Graveyard - Products No Longer Supported => Access Points / Extenders => DAP-1522 => Topic started by: tamsler on January 21, 2010, 03:26:42 PM

I have just setup two DAP-1522, one as an access-point and the other one as a bridge. Now, when I try to stream video (hulu, netflix) from my laptop wirelessly via the access point, it constantly stops and continues. I don't see that problem when the laptop is connected via a cable to either the access-point's or the bridge's ports.
Has anybody encountered this issue. I have also installed the latest firmare on both devices.

Here is some more information:
OS/HW: MAC OS X Snow Leopard (MacBook Pro)
Browser: Safari/Chrome
AP config: 2.4 GHz, Mixed Mode n, g, b, no security just MAC filtering

I did some more testing. So if you just configure the AP to use "N" and 5GHz, everything works flawlessly. So there is some issue using the mixed n, g, b mode.

No, probably just you were running in 2.4 GHz mode before and there was interference from a neighbor's wi-fi. The 2.4 GHz mode only has 3 sub-channels to choose from which was an obvious design-flaw they remedied in the new 5 GHz mode (it has 27 sub-channels?). So you definitely want to use 5 GHz if at all possible. Only problem is that it's effective usable-distance is only about half that of 2.4 GHz (at least in my experience).
