WD N900 Router Question

[cornelio]

Hi,

I purchased a WD N900 router to replace my other WD N600 router, I have the N900 in my room as the main router. I have the WD N600 in the living room acting as acccess point, long story short, I having very slow wireless download speeds and I have tried everything I can in the router settings with no luck, wired download speeds and wireless devices work just fine.

Any help appreciated.

Maybe this can Help.

Thanks for the guide, but I noticed something not related on the issue, this router has a fan on the bottom and yesterday it was working, but today has not powered up. I waited and see if it would turn itself up if the router starts getting warm, but it has not worked all day and the router is getting warm almost hot to the touch, do you think this is enough to return the router?

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. After trying many solutions, the last thing I did was to set the wireless speed to 802.n only with no luck, then I reset my samsung tablet (which had the download speed problem) and is working fine now. Another thing is that this is the second WD N900 router I have, I returned the first because the bottom fan of the first router was not working. The second N900 router, which I'm using now the fan doesn't work also, can this router work without the use of the fan? I noticed there are ventilation holes at the top and I want to know if by taking out the plastic cover from the top of the router can increase ventilation enough to use the router without a fan.



Any help appreciated.
