<DIV><BR></DIV>I thought (apart from the speed) that the whole point of N was
that it was on 5 Ghz, so you didn't have interference from 2.4ghz gear?
My dualband AP here runs A/N on 5, and B/G on 2.4.. ?

off topic, but anyway. Wifi in my house has been really bad for ages. It
just does not work. I thought it was interference from servers, but I
replaced them, and things are still really bad. Well, today I needed to get
some Perspex, and there was a cheap PC place a few doors down, so I picked
up an 802.11n router for $55, that was supposed to have 5 times the range of
802.11g products.<O:P></O:P></DIV>

setting the device up, I tried to use my laptop in the Garage. No Wifi. Back
to the office, and I found that it worked not too bad next to the access
point, but it was marginal about 1.5m away.<O:P></O:P></DIV>

realized at this point that I probably had an interference issue. After all,
what else could it be. Then I thought that it might be a faulty PIR on my
alarm, since they are dual PIR/Microwave. Turning the alarm off resulted in
fantastic Wifi performance. Turning it back on stopped the
Wifi.<O:P></O:P></DIV>
