| 770788 | 2009-05-04 03:33:00 | I bought a Linksys WRT310N just before Xmas, and it was love at first surf (well, at least it was once I got the bloody port-forwarding sorted! :p). It was way quicker on my ADSL2+ connection than the old Belkin a/b/g router I was using. A few weeks back, I noticed it seemed to be running a lot slower, even though my media server was still downloading super quick (I'm barely 1km from the local exchange :D). I've since discovered that my neighbour (who's house is quite close to mine) has set up a WLAN of her own. Am I right that if an 802.11n network detects an overlap from a legacy network, it slows down to 802.11 a/b/g speeds? And if that's the case, can I do anything about it, like putting a metal dish behind the router to shield it etc? |
