Just had fibre installed and I'm confused ?

[Charlie1973]

Bt guy installed everything great, my little issue I'm confused about and I'm sure someone's goin to correct me...

How do I select wireless N mode on the sky router ? I've only got G modes showing up, or have I missed something.

Sorry for being a noob as this is my first post thanks

Hi charlie,

If you leave it on auto it will broadcast N speeds, you need a wireless N card in your laptop as well.

Hopefully Scubbie will see this and post up some max speeds for wireless N

My routers set to auto. So it uses wireless b/g/n for whatever devices needs to connect. I think it will be under maintenance or can be changed in settings.

they can, but, when connected to my sky router i get the same as you around 20-24Mb, but when connected to my ABES they can both hit 33-36Mb (iphone 4s and ipad 3)

yeah, as I said, Scubbie knows wireless speeds, i'm sure she will see this thread

pmsl - Ok I'm catching up

See this thread: WiFi connection speeds

The Sagem 2504N works at up to 144mbps. I don't know the specs of the iPads, but a few members have notices that their max speed on this router is limited to 20Mbps.

If WiFi is important to you, look around at your options and what you can afford and seriously consider getting either a Cable router or an AP which works at 300mbps or higher. Remember too that the iPads work on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz on the WiFi, so a router or AP support the 5GHz channels could benefit you if you live in a busy area for WiFi.

Finally, remember that testing on WiFi will never be as good as a wired connection.
