BTW petja, nice to see you're running the AM300 ;) Half-bridged? At our school (bout 100m from the towns exchange): 11.5Mbps download and 0.58Mbps upload -- tho speedtest thinks we're in wellington ~2 mins to download a 100mb file -- we count that as fast :D	bot (15449)

BTW petja, nice to see you're running the AM300 ;) Half-bridged? Yeah it is, half bridged to an airport extreme on your recommendation. Its a smokin set up, thanks for the recommendation! The airport extreme doesn't have that much range, but I have had it for a couple of months and it has not dropped a single connection! Right now my wife is streaming movies to the ps3 of a machine downstairs, I am on one laptop, another is downloading updates, 2 iphones are active all wirelessly all no dramas!!!	Petja (16002)

1199192	2011-05-04 11:32:00	Glad I could help :) Sorry, I forget who I make recommendations to, it happens quite regularly on the forums here and in real-life ... Too many to keep track of :$ I think you'll find the "not dropping" is more related to the Modem (AM300), I've got the same setup but with an Asus WL-520GU, but mostly do those setups with Linksys WRT54GL's ;) Still, the Extreme is a pretty nice piece of hardware :)	Chilling_Silence (9)

Lovin my new macbook pro too :thumbs: Glad I could help :) Sorry, I forget who I make recommendations to, it happens quite regularly on the forums here and in real-life ...

I read something about an AP isolation bug that terrorises the WAG 160Ns, but to be honest my network knowledge is pretty poor so you could be right. I actually still have that thing I feel too stink to sell it! Maybe I should post it to cisco and tell them to try and use it for a week at home!!!	Petja (16002)
1199194	2011-05-04 22:18:00	And don't overlook checking on the wireless drivers. I have seen a huge improvement in signal strength on a couple of machines with Realtek hardware after I updated them.	linw (53)
1199195	2011-05-04 22:37:00	The house I bought is pretty old and the wiring looks ugly (and old) too . My wiring is decades old (big heavy black cabling) but seems to work great, with the new cabinet (Then again, Before the new cabinet I would sometimes get a lot of problems, while Telecom said my line tested out perfectly . ) Also due to those problems Telecom installed a splitter for free which may have helped too ;) But currently everything is working very well (see attached test results!) I used to get 13 . 3Mb/s down and about 860Kb/s up but with interleaving turned off it made a pretty nice improvement . Ping used to be anywhere between 25 and 60ms	Agent_24 (57)
