1193884	2011-04-13 00:50:00	Hi guys, I'm back with a newish issue. :help: I'm now using wireless on my 2 desktops. The lounge one, where Xtra Thomson TG585v8 is located gives a reading of 54 MB's when I hover over icon. Bedroom one, so 10-15 feet away (sorry still old school) various from a low 18 to sometimes 54. I got a USB extn lead and have the wireless thingee above head height and vertical. It says, "Signal strength good" even when on 18... It still works, okay, but just wondering what I can to to boast signal? :thanks Ian.	ianhnz (4263)

Not too sure if bluetooth conflict thou . . . Not continously using microwaves or other similar interest that you may have?	Nomad (952)
1193887	2011-04-13 01:18:00	We have a N series router but most of our computers are G series. For me 54Mbps connection provides 15-20Mbps ie., when copying files between computers. Our ADSL2+ is about 12Mbps ....	Nomad (952)

Thanks SolMiester, we still have dratted adsl. Was supposed to get adsl2 before last Christmas, but still waiting and I see no cabinet work between us and exchange. Was thinking of getting an internal PCI modem. Do you think would be better or just leave, as is?	ianhnz (4263)

Not too sure if bluetooth conflict thou ... Not continously using microwaves or other similar interest that you may have? Thanks. Last time I looked was on a chosen channel. Might change it. Would that upset the two computers? No blue tooth and microwave doesn't get a lot of use. Cordless, unknown. Sorry	ianhnz (4263)
1193890	2011-04-13 01:53:00	Just changed channel, from bedroom computer. Now says 54. I see what happens. Thanks Nomad	ianhnz (4263)
1193891	2011-04-13 04:04:00	Hey, I'm back. Still showing 54 MB's... Next question. Anyone know of a good , Freeware, program for recording live voice as MP3? I've tried a couple, at random and not too good with sound quality. Any advise, as alway, greatly appreciated..	ianhnz (4263)
1193892	2011-04-13 04:09:00	I will get back to you tonight, it's on my laptop . It's a internet browser toolbar and when you are streaming you just click the red button . I've used it for my streaming of university lectures . One paper which is self taught (short course) .	Nomad (952)

Input comes from sound system into Line in on Laptop . They been using, some program, but don't know what it is . It can only record for some 50 minutes and shuts off . :badpc: My job is to burn the CD's . Last Sunday it shut off, a couple of minutes before the end . It's gota be something simple, as not dealing with techies here . :thanks:badpc:	ianhnz (4263)
