Title: DIR-655 with DSM-750 cant get N connection
Post by: ginno on December 08, 2008, 12:52:14 PM

Hello,

Not sure where the issue lies so posted on both DIR-655 and DSM-750 forums.

Anyway, I have DIR-655 fm 1.20 which I am very happy with so far. I recently purchased DSM-750 wireless media center extension with I am using in media lounge for now. The setup connection worked fine. Then at some point I went to DIR-655 configuration STATUS > WIRELESS and noticed that DSM-750 is listed as a wireless client and having its Mode as 802.11g. I was really hopping for a new wireless N connection as both DIR-655 and DSM-750 support that. I did check my wireless network settings on DIR-655 and it’s as follows:

802.11 MODE: Mixed 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b
Enable Auto Channel Scan: On
Wireless Channel: 2.437 GHz - CH 6
Channel Width: Auto 20/40 MHz

I do have other 802.11g active clients (Dell laptop) not sure if it matters.

Please help.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure if you have the mode set for mixed the system will run at the lowest mode speed wise for  the hardware connected


g/n will allow both to connect but be limited to g speeds

Channel 6 is overused as it is the standard "default" channel for most, if not all, wireless routers.
