Question for those of you who have used the Wireless G. The one you don't have to plug in. Is this more reliable & faster, not as reliable or same?

Have not used a Wireless G only the Wireless N - sorry can't give comparison

I apologize I'm not sure. I'm using 802.11n which has a greater range and is also faster than 802.11g.

Hi, I have a Linksys Ea6500 router and tried the Amped Wireless Access point that can delivery at AC speed. The AP seemed to lock up a lot. I then bought and tried the Amped Wireless Access Point that can delivery at N speed. It was more reliable with not the best range. I then bought another Linksys Ea6500. I set this up at a LAN to WAN. Extended my network with great range at half the cost. I did have two different SSIDs. I did try it at LAN to LAN. This allows one SSID. Not sure if this worked or I set it up correctly. Switched back to LAN to WAN.

I wish you luck. The D-Link knocked out wireless on my laptop! I couldn't get that returned fast enough. The Cisco is powerful and goes from my second floor all the way to the basement. It has 60-70% signal strength down there. My only complaint is that it seems to reset periodically and you drop signal but only for less then a minute. You apparently can't make changes locally but have to do so in the cloud. I haven't changed anything yet so not sure how I will like this.

Slightly but I would still stay away from this particular model and go with the newer version. When it was not in use and I turn on wifi it is quite slow connecting and I still can't use two wifi items without on being really slow. hope this got back to you in time

I used one of the wireless bridge TrendNet Wireless AC devices (provided you have a wireless AC router). I also used the 5GHZ band was well if that makes a difference.

Have you guys tried changing the wireless channel? I was having this problem where I was getting poor signal and random disconnects on my MacBook pro when my router was set on channel 11. Ever since I changed I was able to connect and browse w/o disconnects. None of my other devices had this problem though...

I just picked up one of these today. I had no problems connecting to the wireless router (2WIRE) in another room. Good luck getting it to work.

I won't recommend this one, only because it has that stupid tethered transmitter. The Kensington one looks like it would be much more portable and uses a small USB transmitter, so there are no wires whatsoever. I like the smoothness of this one and the wired version is great, but has a wire, making it a pain for using with laptops.

CHECK your other wireless devices. Your objective should be to make sure they do not have the same frequency of transmission. If this is the only wireless device you have then it does NOT matter which one you pick.

Hi, it is slow.. I did not use any other to compare, but this one is slow and every time you lose the signal, you need 4-5min to connect again.

I'll be honest --- I have tried the Wireless G and Wireless N Adapters and have concluded that neither works perfect. The Wireless G works better than the N --- but, if your TiVo is "too far" away from your router, neither works that good. I no longer use the Wireless N Adapter at all -- it was terrible -- I am using a Dual Band Network Repeater, but even with that device I still have connection problems when trying to watch a program on another DVR. If I had the option, I would run CAT-5 wire to every location and hard wire my TiVos. The Wireless N Adapter that is in use and works well is closer to the Router but is not in direct line of sight --- so my conclusion is the problem is distance and possibly "interference" with other devices.

If u have the wi Gi u wud be using it more to get online. The 4G worked great, no issues. My favorite was the durability and the screen resolution. Did not try to use the GPS function, so can't comment. Hope this helped

Seems related to supply, also whether it has the wireless dongle. I have the Silver, low price, no dongle. They are fine.

I replaced a latest gen Airport Express in the hopes of better wifi coverage (still N), but I don't notice any appreciable difference. I'm keeping the unit, mainly in future proofing for new idevices with the AC protocol.

This is a "it depends". If you are using the new ac wireless standard and have a good signal it may offer noticeable speed improvement. As slower standards and/or signal quality degrades any improvement at the diskstation side will become unimportant. The real question is can you really get much 100Mbps real throughput with *your* wireless environment?Some may disagree but I find a wired connection to be the most dependable for high-throughput situations. There are too many variables to be more specific but I hope this answer will help at least a little. This is a "it depends".

I have my wireless for a long time. I have had no problems with it. However if transmitter and receiver are not close, I would have problems as other are discussing. When I move them closer together it takes care of the problem. I hope this helps.
