1128323	2010-08-16 09:19:00	Being boarders me and the guys down our dorm often get together and have a couple of round of COD every week. I have a 24 port stack but its a bit impractical to use it becuase the would be cables going everywhere. The boarding houses wireless router can't cope with the network load so I have set up an Ad-Hoc network. 90% of the time it works fine but there are several times when it becomes unstable with latency ranging from 13ms to 999ms followed by timeouts ect. All computers on the network are wireless N compliant however usually the radio type shows as b/g and ends up running on 802.11b which causes latency spikes. What would cause the network to default to 802.11b? all computers have NIC's that support g/n so what is causing windows to drop down to wireless B with no apparent reason? Of course I could sack up and buy another router dedicated that would solve this (eying up another WRT to pick around with using DD or tomato) Thanks for any help with this. Everyone tends to blame when shist goes wrong (ahh the perils of the tech minded):nerd:	The Error Guy (14052)
1128324	2010-08-16 09:27:00	Do you go through the Wizard to setup the ad hoc connection? Have you considered Connectify as an alternative? (Connectify is a wireless AP emulator which turns one of your chosen laptop / computer into a wireless router)	Renmoo (66)
1128325	2010-08-16 20:37:00	Ill try connectify	The Error Guy (14052)
1128326	2010-08-16 20:49:00	I find the latest version of Connectify to be relatively buggy. Mileage may vary, but if version 2.0 doesn't seem to work, go for version 1.2 instead. www.softpedia.com	Renmoo (66)
