And if no neighbour uses wifi then you can use any channel because there wont be any overlapping issues, which can be loss of speed, connection failures, packet loss etc Well 802.11b/g only has 3 free channels, so if you go for 1, 6 or 11 doesn’t matter as long as your neighbours wifi doesn’t overlap yours you’ll be fine.

Also downgrading to B will force all your computers down to the lower bandwidth even if they're just talking to each other over the wireless network. uh comcast provides 16Mbps in the US, not to mention Verizon FiOS with 40-50Mbps or more.

My connection is 2mbps, so its not a problem for me.

I have D-link router set for settings you gave above. The only one thing I couldn't change was setting B mode. I have only 2 option: mix mode and only G mode, so it's on mix mode right now. I measured time for 1MB download in MXtube program (I always started measuring after 3 or 4MB downloaded because those first megabytes are usually going much faster). Hera are results: Before: 1MB takes aproximately 12-15 sec After: 1MB takes aproximately 5-7 sec I repeated test about 15 times so the scores are aprox. So YES, IT WORKS !!! I'm wondering if I could change the mode for B, would it be faster ? Maybe someone could try this. I also tested speed in Safari and unfortunately with new setting the speed was little bit slower almost not noticable. For speed test I used website: www.iphonespeedtest.com Other website: http://i.dslr.net/iphone_speedtest.html crushed my iphone twice so I don't recommend it. Besides the results were different than on first site. hi, I have tested this set up on 2 (jailbreaked) iphones (my an my girlfriend’s). I have D-link router set for settings you gave above.
