i just moved into our first house and unfortunately during the renovation i completely forgot to have the contractors run ethernet wiring, so now for the first time i'm stuck with wireless.
in my old apartment i had everything wired, so i didn't even try to bother with wireless, but now i have no choice and i'm starting to run into some small problems.
my setup is mostly all d-link. the router is dgl-4300, and i have a pci and a notebook adapter. these three were the first things i got, and they work flawlessly together at 108mpbs. Nice steady connection anywhere in the house without any problems, and decent speed.
i started having problems when i bought wireless adapters for my tivo's as well as the dsm-320 media player. these do not support superg, so they can only connect at 54mpbs.
my router seems to be either/or. it either runs the whole network at 108 with a nice strong signal, or it goes in the "mixed mode" where it can run other g devices. it will simply not see any g devices when set in the superg mode.
i'm looking for a workaround for this problem. i need my tivo's to connect, same for the medialounge player, but the drop in speed and signal strength is rather significant when i turn off the superg mode on the router.
is there a workaround for this? basically, i have two sets of devices. one that is capable of 108mbs and one that is not. is there a way to have, maybe through a use of an access point, a way to connect them together as separate groups?
