New Router works great if set to G and wont hardly work if using N whats up?

Just got a brand new laptop that has a N intel network card so I went and bought a Linksys WRT310N so I could connect in my house. This is the Second router the first one was a NETGEAR and it did the same thing im about to explain so I returned it for this one.
I set it up, my lap top right next to it gets 17-20MPS great. I go in the other room and i only get 700kb a second but upload at 2mps. So unless im right next to the cpu I get a very slow 700kb.
I change the netgear one to G and it works fine anywhere in the house, I dont lose speed or anything but wont work on N. Back to best buy it goes.
I get this one and whallaaa, same issues. I call tech support and they tell me to change channels ect but nothing works unless I change it to G. With a G only setting I can go anywhere with full speed and full signal.
I heard N is over rated and just a waste of money but I bought it hoping it wasnt all true. I removed cordless phones nad disconnected batteries and every trick I could find on the net.
Any ideas before I take this one back and just settle on buying a much cheaper N only router? Why spend 130 bucks when I can get one for 50 that does the same thing right?

Airdrop is not setup correctly in ios7 if anyone shares an Apple ID as their main icloud account.  My family can not use it because we all have to share our main Apple ID in order to see all devices on one find my iphone app.  We all have separate apple IDs for contacts, notes, FaceTime and imessage, but it has to be secondary the way apple has ios7 set up (we used to be able to turn on find my iphone with our secondary id in ios 6).
So if you want airdrop to work flawlessly as it is now, here is how you set it up. Understand that airdrop uses your main icloud account to identify you and your contacts contents to identify other airdrop users. Each person has to have their main icloud be different.  That email has to be in each other's contacts ONLY as you.  You need to set it as me on your device and make sure it's not in any other contacts in your device.  They need to have that email in your contact on their device and not in anyone else's.  It should work perfectly if that is all setup correctly.

    You will need to try changing the email address on the first account and see if you can then re-use it on a new account - you can try changing the email address via http://appleid.apple.com or by logging into it via the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes (if you don't have a spare email account then you can create one via http://gmail.com or http://hotmail.com)

  • I have an wireless printer and a new wifi router. I have set the printer and iPhone / iPad correctly to the new router but when i try to print it won't recognise the air printer. Help. All was working fine on my old router

    I Have a new wifi router and have set up my iPad / iPhone and wireless printer correctly  to the new router but I can't print from the iPad and iPhone. It keeps saying ' no AirPrint printer found'. Help please!

    Start with the most basic thing that you can try. Unplug the router from power for about 30 seconds, and restart the printer and the iPad and plug the router back into power.

  • I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  What do I do???

    I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  It keeps asking me to sync the ipod to this computer, but I'm scared to lose all my music.  I want to transfer some of the music onto my iphone but I can't.  I'm very frustrated and wish I knew more about computers at the moment!?!?  What do I do???

    You will need the help of some sort of 3rd party software to help you copy the content from your Shuffle back to your PC.  Once you have done that, you can reimport this music into iTunes and configure it to sync to your new Shuffle.

  • New Router Working my desktop PC, but not the older laptop.

     I just upgraded to a westell 7500 router and with the help of the Verizon techie got my desktop to work with the new modem. Then we turned our attention to my laptop and had issues; he even connected me with a Dell person, but after being put on hold, we got disconnected and I thought I'd try the forums here.
    My laptop is an older one: Inspiron 1100 and I use a Dell True Mobile 1150 insert card. I use Windows XP and have service pack 3 and the latest drivers installed.
    I cannot get the laptop to connect with my new modem (router).
    Some bits of info that may assist:
    1) After running a diagnostics for XP, I get "windows could not detect any wired or wireless network cards installed on your machine."
    2) In device manager, there is a yellow question mark next to Ethernet controller and PCI modem (don't know if that matters here).
    3) In device manager, the network adapter is listed--Dell truemobile 1150--its working properly and latest drivers installed for it.
    4) In network Connections, only one connection is listed: dell true mobile, not connected.
    5) if I double click that connection, in the next window the wireless network WPA2 shows and it has a signal strength of 5 green bars.
    6) double clicking that, and entering the proper WEP key does not connect me.
    needless to say it is frustrating because the laptop is picking up on the router signal but not connecting to it.

    Hey dale001, I know you are trying to get connected wirelessly but can you get internet access if you use the ethernet cable because if you can't get connected with it hardwired then your laptop has a problem.  I would advise you to contact Dell tech support.

  • HT1695 why would my new computer with windows 8 set up fine and now all of a sudden I cannot connect to the internet on my IPaD

    I have a new computer an Dell Inetel Celeron 2020 with Windows 8.  I had interent connection on my old desktop and to my Iphone and Ipad, however now I cannot get my Ipad to connect to the internet whatsoever.  i have messed with this since Wednesday of last week and I am exhausted from it.  Please help.

    So just the ipad cannot connect to the network? Does it connect to any other network?
    Try this:
    Reboot ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go. Then try to connect to network.
    Go to settings, turn wifi off. Toggle airplane mode on/off. Make sure bluetooth is off. Turn on wif (airplane mode off). Try to connect.
    Go to settings/genreral/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
    If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
    If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer suppot website for downloads and instructions).
    Wifi Settings greyed out or dim

  • 2013 new Mac Pro will not boot up from and external hard drive

    New 2013 MAC PRO running Yosemite will not not see a bootable external hard drive when starting up using option key?  Same External hard drive will boot up on 2013 Mac Book Pro running Yosemite.

    Reading between tea leaves sometimes leaves some things to imagination.
    You used SuperDuper latest version that was recently upgraded for Yosemite on a laptop running 10.10 (or even 10.9.3+) that is in a X-brand USB3 drive enclosure, not bus powered btw, moved it to the nMP and plugged it into a direct port, not going through a hub (monitors have hubs of course and there is only one real bus+controller on the nMP that ALL USB3 travels through.
    Thunderbolt and self-powered would be nice but they cost a bit more.
    I have read where Carbon Copy Cloner (now v 4.x) worked where others failed. I use to use both but have used CCC since its inception and use back in 10.2.2 forward along with SD! for a few years based on comments here.
    Drivers missing? someone compared system extensions and found the ones needed for say the nMP are not there? how about running a 10.10.1 combo update and see if that changes - we USE to be able to apply updates to a system that we were not booted from, very handy (could update a sparse disk image of a system that way, one created with CCC).
    WD Passports seem popular with laptop users, but they come here to this forum complaining that it doesn't work, disappears off the bus (spins down goes to sleep, acts like a green drive acts).

  • I recently  bought a new ipad 4 for my wife for xmas and would like to start using her old ipad.How do I personalize it to me 1

    How do i get a separate itunes account for my wife?

    On the old iPad go to settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings and that will totally erase the iPad. You can set it up as a new device and use your Apple ID in Settings>Store>Apple ID - or Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID.
    Your wife can create a new Apple ID here.
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US
    Or she can go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and create a new ID in there.

  • To set a directory and its subdirectory in  utl_file_dir using command

    Hi all ,
    Please help me in this dbt .
    in one article i saw
    UTL_FILE_DIR lets you specify one or more directories that Oracle should use for PL/SQL file I/O. If you are specifying multiple directories, you must repeat the UTL_FILE_DIR parameter for each directory
    on separate lines of the initialization parameter file
    and in another alter system set utl_file_dir=dir1,dir2 scope=both;
    whther the second method is possible
    if i want to have a directory and its sub directory to set in utl_file_dir
    what i should do , whether i want to specify main directory and all sub directory seperated by comma or any other method is there
    Please help me
    thanks in advance ..........

    Instead of specifying the directory in the INIT.ora file u can use Directory object.
    U need to create a directory object once & use it when ever u require it.
    For example
    CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY Test_dir AS 'C:\abc'
    Now you can use this directoryTEST_DIR in any Pl Sql block provided u have proper privileges.

    you could do that with javascript and html.
    but it would be more work unless you used a tool like flash to create those files.  i'm not sure what the security issues with flash are, but i can't see any security issues with javascript and html either whether created by flash or done without a tool (like flash or edge etc).

  • Need help choosing a new router (business use)

    Here is what I have: Windows XP Pro Workstation (Wired) Server running Windows 2000 Server (Wired) Server running Linux (Wired) Windows XP Pro Laptop (Wireless) Playstation 3 (Wireless) I plan on creating a VPN connection to my network using Microsoft's VPN (Routing and Remote Access component to be specific); however, I currently have a 3 year-old Linksys Wireless-G Router w/Speedbooster (WRT54GS) that does not allow incoming VPN Connections. I have confirmed all the settings are correct on my end and the router will not cooperate. I would like to get a new router that will allow incoming VPN Connections and provide wireless to my wireless equipment. I DO NOT want to use 3rd party VPN software. Your recommendations are much appreciated.

    It is unclear to me what kind of VPN connection you want to make exactly. Do you want to have a VPN connection from a computer in the internet using Microsoft's VPN client (i.e. PPTP or L2TP) to a server inside your LAN which is running the VPN server? What protocol do you want to use?
    This should work through the WRT you have already. What hardware version do you have? Check the label underneath the router. Check for firmware upgrades for your router on the linksys technical support pages.
    What port forwardings did you configure for the VPN tunnel?
    Some people reported that the pass-through settings in the router were reversed: not setting the pass-through option actually allow traffic.
    I don't think that a new router will necessarily solve your problems.
    If you still want to upgrade, I would not necessarily look for a full replacement of the WRT. The WRTs (older and newer) bundle many functions inside a single box which make it versatile to use but on the other hand also has it downsides when one function influences some other for instance.
    You can easily turn your old WRT into an access point for your LAN. If you want to buy a new router I would rather look into a wired router maybe even considering one with a VPN server built-in. Then you can establish the tunnel to the VPN router instead of a server inside your LAN. But you have to check the VPN routers carefully if they really support the client you want to use for the connection. Some are limited.

  • Installing new router

    im getting a new router...i have 2 laptops and a ps3 wireless..what do i have to do to remove my old router setting and install all my new router stuff? just delete all my old router softeware from my computer and 2 laptops and install the new one?

    If you are getting a new router...i think you can try to update the firmware of the router. To update the firmware of router try this: 1. Go to www.linksys.com/download and select correct model number and version number. Download the firmware and save it on your computer. 2. Check the file it sould be firmware image file like .bin etc. If it is a compressed zip file extract it to get firmware image file. 3. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. 4. Go to administartion tab there 5. Go to fimware update sub-tab there 6. Browse for the firmware image file and click update 7. when update completes turn off modem & router. 8. After 2 minutes turn on modem and after 2 more minutes turn on router. To get network key, connect your computer to one of the four ports on router using ethernet cable. 1. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. Use your password if you have changed it earlier 2. Go to wireless tab. 3. Go to wireless security sub-tab 4. If security mode is wpa or wpa2 note down passphrase/shared key, if security mode is WEP note down wep key number 1. This will be your network key Well you need to input all the wireless settings of your wireless network on Wii. To get these settings: 1. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. 2. Goto wireless tab. Here you will get the wireless network name/SSID. Here make sure wireless SSID broadcast is enabled. 3. Now goto wireless security sub-tab and here you will get the security mode and the security key. If security type is WPA note passphrase/shared key, and if its WEP note down wep encryption level and key 1 from listed 4 keys Then try connecting your 2 wireless laptops & a PS3 wirelessly to the new network you setup....it will definately work.
