I'm living in a populated area, there's a lot of wifi networks around, so that could be one of the problems, I bet most of them are on auto-channel and cheap routers aren't that good in selecting the best frequency, so there's a lot of interference between networks. > The good thing so far is that I'm back on my wireless-N speeds. Will report if something goes wrong. For what it is worth, I never let my router pick a channel using "auto". Most of my neighbors are on channel 6, thus I use 1 or 11. Larry
