| I'm not sure if this is what you're getting at, but try pointing your web browser to "http://192.168.1.1", typing "default" for username and leaving the pass blank (or maybe that should be the other way around <_<), and adjusting port settings from there. |

| The default settings should do you fine. Are you trying to broadcast the signal long distances and getting poor signal strength or what exactly is your problem? |

802.11g
I would buy this because its backwards compatable with 802.11b, so it makes sence, 10 bucks more get the G because it works with both, and its better.

thankyou, mister obvious.
jmikalinis: You might want to check in your router config to see about it "shutting off". Does the router itself power down or does it disconnect from the internet, or disable network traffic? |

| its just the wireless function of the router. the network and router is still on but like the computer that is connected Via wireless NIC gets disconnected. the 2 computers that are connected Via cables are perfectly fine. i think it is because the wireless connection is being brought in by a linksys USB Adapter thingy. i think that thats for more like connecting laptops and not for using it across a house. well let me know if you guys think moving from a USB NIC car to a PCI NIC card or somthing will help also if you could suggest new network hardware. |
