These are the changes that i did to the router. Obviously some assumptions made here but last week the changes made a difference, I think resetting the box yesterday lost the changes.
Wanting to improve the wifi as at the moment believe the adsl is good but the box is crap at wifi and juggling everything else it needs to do.
- When logged in, click on wireless, then select configure from the top right and then do this:
- Power reduction enabled should be disabled (We want the box to dedicate
- Channel selection should be manual (we don't want the box doing more wifi that it needs)
- Select the channel 6 (I have ran kismac and scanned our area, this is least used at the moment)
- Select WPA as WPA-PSK Version (Again to reduce the amount the box does for wifi, rather than switch between WPA+WPA2 for clients)
- Apply those changes
