funkaholic Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 I have just reset my wireless box and set it all up as it was playing up. I have a Netgear Rangemax box. Under wireless settings there is the option Mode, and it says this: "Mode Select the desired wireless mode. The options are: Up to 54 Mbps - Legacy Mode with maximum speed of up to 54 Mbps for b/g networks. Up to 130 Mbps - Neighbor Friendly Mode - Default speed up to 130 Mbps in presence of neighboring wireless networks. Up to 270 Mbps - Performance Mode - Maximum Wireless-N speed up to 270 Mbps. Selecting the right Wireless Mode optimizes the performance of your wireless network while reducing wireless interference. Select 130 Mbps if there are several strong wireless signals in your neighborhood. Select 270 Mbps if there are only few neighboring wireless networks and you want to get the maximum possible Wireless-N speeds." This technical stuff scares me a bit, which one do I want? On average my computer picks up between 5-8 wireless signals if that helps in anyway. Live in a two floor flat usually with 2 other computers using the same wireless connection.

kaini Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 select the highest speed; if the wireless adapter on your pc isn't up to it, it will degrade gracefully to the best speed it can do.
