Title: Range is a little short?
Post by: SpongeGuard on February 26, 2012, 10:11:33 AM

I seem to get worse range on the DIR-655 than I did on the DIR-615. I was able to walk out to the parking lot with 1 bar of signal on my phone with the DIR-615. I can get about half way there before I have no signal now that I've got the DIR-655.
Are there some settings to disable that might be playing a role in this? I've got the router configured for wireless N only, could that have something to do with it?

What range do you get with Single mode G?

About the same.

Try with SHORT GI and WMM enable turned off. Try Mixed G and N then N only again.
