....my air conditioner turns on? EMI? The coaxials are far away from the a/c unit. I'm currently running a WRT54G using 802.11g only on a different channel than default. Wired connections aren't affected but all wireless users are SOL. Is it time for an upgrade to ~N?

Personally I don't like the N series, but that's just me. I doubt it's EMI....maybe power issue where it temporarily drops the power level on your wireless router?

I hate my PS3 for that reason too. Every time I turn it on all my connections on the router drops for about 5 seconds....I just unplugged the PS3 from the network.

Why not n? Not stable/ready yet? I can imagine it would be a power issue.......the lights do flicker when the a/c turn on

I just don't like N because it shotguns 4 channels Then again, I just don't like wireless unless I am forced to use it.

you guys need to buy more electricities

And why the heck are you using AC man? We live in OC and you're closer to the beach than I am...open your windows

Isn't the only difference between n and g is that uploads and downloads have their only 'lanes', so to speak?

jlammy

Pretty much....that's why it takes up 4 freaking channels.

Werd.

I just read that the Apple wireless n router I'm using can switch from 2.4ghz to 5ghz which would allow it to not get interference from appliances and such. I'm not sure if that applies to other n routers, but it's a thought.
