Nar, that’s fine with a decent CAT5 or CAT5 cable and from memory you did say that you had tried a different one. If you havent, worth trying a different one or the MR modem and use wifi. BUT you appear to have severe wifi congestion given that the Netcomm cant even deliver a decent speed on wifi and you have never said if the TV can do 5GHz wifi.

An access point would be better in that situation. A repeater halves the thruput because it can't send and receive at the same time unless it’s an expensive multiband one and presumably he is streaming to the TV and needs all the speed he can get.

I thought you had said it was something to do with the way the TPG DHCP server allocates addresses, or something like that, and MR does it differently, and that would remedy the connection/disconnection problem I have with the LAN > >> so I'm counting on the MR modem being much better, > > It is for most of us, but not for everyone. it certainly seems much better just on the interface alone. besides, it's bigger so it must be better :) > >> and eliminating the problem, > > Remains to be seen where the problem is.

I don't know if it can. I shall endeavour to find out -- "Multiculturanism equals white ethnocide" http://thereligionofpeace.com http://www.barenakedislam.com/ http://www.siotw.org
