If not mistaking, wireless N mode kicks in automatically. My Access point is set to BGN mixed mode. 99% of time i am only user of wireless at home. I have dilemma. I can't use cables in house, so wireless is only solution, i have very quick broadband connection, we are talking about over megabyte a second. I wouldn't worry much about N mode, but my current speed on G, is only 600-max 700 kbyte a second. Well, my wifi is bottle neck to my broadband and it's very annoying. To make things worse - I get disconneced very often. I am familiar with console and reconnecting all the time manually is just plane bad. Writing scripts to keep connection connected is even worse. What can i do to improve speed and connectivity? Or in other words, what should i do to enable N mode?(both devices are Dlink and N mode compatible, thats what i bought them) a little bit of system info: my derivers: compat-wireless-2009-05-09 module in use: /lib/modules/2.6.29.2/updates/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.ko uname info: 2.6.29.2 #3 SMP PREEMPT Thu May 14 01:19:42 IST 2009 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux iwconfig output: wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"dlink" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: 00:1E:58:B4:F6:83 Bit Rate=1 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:on Link Quality=62/70 Signal level=-48 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 Link quality is typically between 55-58 Signal lvl between 42-55 I don't use any security on wireless at all(I live in rural area, you know...), besides i do network inspection once in a while.

Dmitri P.S.: i did approach you before i had terrible problems between wifi and sli cards, since than motherboard was changed. Now things seem to work. -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...
