Okies..., no offence to Okie.... back to my modem issues....
Today, being hot I staed indoors, Mossie is shopping with our lovely lady next door, no not shopping next door, at a nearby (~30k's away) centre, Lucas at Alfredton for the pedants amongst you
, anyhoo, I plugged in the DSL-2740B, the b,g,n critter.
Everything connects as expected, the desktop did with it's USB n dongle, but the WGPS606 print server didn't, as usual.
So, I locked the modem down to b mode, everything, EVERYTHING connects, no worries, and fast connection too, not speed, but time to connect was fast.
So, I locked the modem down to g mode, everything, EVERYTHING connects, no worries, and fast.
So, I locked the modem down to b/g mixed mode, everything, EVERYTHING connects, no worries, and fast.
Sooo I set it back to normal, mixed b/g/n mode and everything connects, except the bloody print server.
So, I set it back down to b/g mixed mode, everything, EVERYTHING connects, no worries, and fast, so for now, that's how it will stay.
The Netgear WGPS606 also has mode settings, b, g or b/g. I didn'f tuck with that, I couldn't see any point, same with the modem, I could lock it at g mode, also pointless, so theoretically 54mbps is my limit for file txfer, I'm OK with that in the current technological spectrum.
Did you see what I got away with in there?
