WZR-HP-G300NH and 40Mhz stability
« on: September 08, 2010, 09:04:37 PM »

Using the latest official stock firmware (1.74), if I use 40Mhz bandwidth for wireless, my Motorola Droid continuously connects and disconnects every 5 seconds or so. Simply changing to 20Mhz bandwidth eliminates this. The Droid is only G so I'm not expecting 300Mbps bandwidth, but I don't expect it to keep dropping signal either. I haven't noticed issues with my other devices but they are mostly all N. Anyone else run into this?

I experience the same thing with my laptops and the wireless card in my pc both of which are wireless g but my g/f's laptop is also wireless g but it has no probs with the 40mhz setting. I haven't messed around with it because I have no N devices but have you tried diff channels to see if it does anything?

I have no problem with 40mhz channel width, try a different channel and extension channel, maybe there is interference.

I did try all three regular channels (1,6,11). It seemed to work for a bit longer on 6 but still lost connection. On 1 & 11, it looses connection within just a couple of seconds.

I am using channel 1, 40 MHz for a mixture of G and N devices (wii, PS3, two Ipod touches, Toshiba laptops, etc.), and do not have any dropout problems that some are reporting.
