Linksys Wireless N 150 Router Review of the router

[.:Brian:. 0]

Well, I have had a linksys wireless b router for some time now, but had been having issues with not getting a strong enough signal throughout my house. Yet what seemed odd, is that I could get stronger signal from all of my neighbors, even those who were down the street several houses from me. And so I decided that it was time to purchase a new wireless router. Even though, the newest computer I have is wireless g, I went for the wireless n because of the increased range, and the thought that it will probably be a better investment for the future.

I am impressed, immediatly after plugging it in, setting up the security settings and such, I noticed a huge difference. Not only was I not getting constantly disconnected (I have yet to actually get disconnected from the network), but also I noticed that the one computer with the g networking adapter got an increase of internet speed from about 1-2Mbps to a little over 6Mbps, and so now web pages come up almost instantly.

Also the configuration pages of the router are so easy to understand and use and again work much faster than the previous wireless b router I had.

I would highly recommend this product to everybody, the particular one I got was the wireless n router that is around $120 (frequently on sale for $100), and is located here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

it's quite obvious that your wireless range gets a boost when you switch from 802.11b to 802.11g . 802.11b is the slowest technique of them all, followed by 802.11a, 802.11g and 802.11n . 802.11a and 802.11g have the same maximum transfer rate, but 802.11a uses a higher frequency (shoter wavelength) and thus has a smaller range, thus 802.11g is better .

Yep, the reason you got the speed "increase" is because of the longer range provided by the Linksys wireless router. If you bring the computer next to the router (or at least closer to it), you should be getting that 6Mbps speed also.Since 802.11g is still the more common standard today, I'm still using it. I have thought about getting the N or Pre-N type routers before, but it wasn't really needed. I rarely use file transfers in my local network and the range that the G provides is more than enough for now

I'm interested in an N router, but as all I have are B/G/A devices, I can wait until N is actually a specification. Spending most of my life on a college campus which is completely wireless and where most of the rooms have gigabit ethernet, and having a 24 port switch means I really don't rely over-much on my wireless speed to often.~Viz

Yeah, I'm waiting for the actual spec to be finalized and put into wide spread use. Most of my computers are still B (Airport) devices with a few G (Airport extreme) cards on my G5's and Powerbook. Frankly I never notice that much difference in file speed and when I need to link the G5's together for massive video files I use Fiber Channel cards so...

I own a Belkin Enhanced Wireless BD6E8D.Model#F6D4230-4 V3. N150 Router.When I bought a MB300 Motorola Backflip cellphone it did not support the and mode format of the router,so my son changed it to a G mode and it worked fine connecting to the WiFi . I have since replaced that phone with a Samsung Captivate Galaxy phone and would like to convert the routers signal back to the and mode which I understand supports that. Can I get the procedure for accomplishing this task from someone please. Thomas

I own a Belkin Enhanced Wireless BD6E8D.Model#F6D4230-4 V3. N150 Router.When I bought a MB300 Motorola Backflip cellphone it did not support the and mode format of the router,so my son changed it to a G mode and it worked fine connecting to the WiFi .

-question by Thomas

Yes simply login to the routers control interface via the IP 192.168.2.1 (might be different but thats the Belkin default) either through your browser or via telnet. Once there you can go through the Wizard which will help you select the mode you want your router to run in.

 

Now to get back on topic,

 

G has become a very common band to use today but reduced wireless speeds can also be caused by wireless telephones and similar equipment (especially if you live in an apartment block) so if you keep finding your connection isn't as good as it can be try switching the channel of the router over to different channel numbers and test each one out until you get a speed you are satisfied with.

If you use FaceTime often, youÂĄÂŻre probably familiar with how frustrating it is to have to get on a Wi-Fi network in order to use the service. Although you can Facetime with some application on you jailbreaked iPhone, itÂĄÂŻs still a big problem for those beginners or person donÂĄÂŻt want jailbreak their iPhones.
In my opinion, if a cell phone canÂĄÂŻt make video call on the go (3G Facetime), the video call function is useless, because when I was at home or in the office, I could use Gmail, MSN and many other applications to make a video call on PC.

And now this issue will get resolved with iOS 5 according to report.

The message first unveiled on modem3g.com It¥¯s said a reader post a screen shot, in which iOS 5 shows an alert box asking the user to turn on cellular data or WiFi to use FaceTime. By playing around with the iOS 5 preferences in Settings->General->Network, we¥¯ve found how to replicate the ¥°issue¥¹: turn off Cellular Data in the Network tab, open FaceTime¥¯s prefs inside the Settings app, and you should get the alert box. If it doesn¥¯t come up, try to turn FaceTime off and on again, making sure Cellular Data is still set to off. iOS 5 will tell you that you need data (3G) or WiFi to use FaceTime.
