Re: N signal problems (WRT310N)
said by JohnInSJ  :said by stevech0 :WPA/WEP will not affect signal strength. They are encryption things. Using WEP on 11n gear will force it into G mode, which will shut down all MIMO, which will negate any benefit thereof. Trust me, you do NOT want WEP with 11n. There *is no WEP* in 11n. well, if it drops into 11g mode, and no MIMO, I doubt you'll see much difference. MIMO has a slight benefit if BOTH ends of the link implement combinational MIMO. The client side doesn't, due to high cost and lack of room for antennas. But with just the w-router end implementing a subset of MIMO (as in 11n) it's primary benefit is to hype selling 11n. |
