Almost being unable to do some proper internet-surfing, I almost threw the LinkSys to a galaxy far far away (where have we heard that one before?). I connected to the LinkSys website, and discovered I had missed out on two firmware versions. I downloaded the latest, and installed the thing. Hey, now I have the European channel 12 and 13 as well. Okay, let’s put the bastard at channel 13. Why not invite Murphy? But…things went allright. Flashing and resetting the WAP was what it needed. Almost…. The laptop downstairs only has 802.11b and not Wireless-G (802.11g), and so it did not recognize channel 13. So I switched back to 11. The laptop happy. The server upstairs happy. You know what? I have the same download speeds I had before things went bonkers.
I’m one happy camper…:D
