DIR615 RUNNING IN G MODE
« on: December 07, 2009, 06:07:34 AM »
I have a desktop pc being used as a media center and have a D-Link 130 adapter. It is running in G mode only.  I originally was using WEP but re configiured to  WPA-PSK so it should be running in N mode?

What cipher do you have selected under your WPA setting?

Also, this may be a moot point, as I've read that wifi-draft N specs state that if WPA/WPA2 is enabled, routers are to fall back to 54G speeds anyway.  Meaning, true speed in the 20Mbps range.

actually you need WPA 2 to get N speed. It works for me. Make sure you selected mixed G/N and also channel width should be auto.

WPA2 to get N speed?  Hmm, not so sure about that, at least from what I've seen in the past 30+ Router reviews.

Here's a sample of bandwidth degredation in relation to the security mode chosen
Blue Line represents unsecured N speed

If all your devices support N then you can get N speeds.. Using encryption will slow your speeds down though..  Just read the sticky again. You must force AES aswell..

from the sticky note :)

If you are using encryption the router must be configured to use AES cipher. In some firmware versions/models, the only way to get the AES cipher is to run WPA2. If you can not select the Cipher, selecting WPA2 only will force this cipher type.


hmm, I said that earlier
