So I'm guessing that when you connect to a wireless network of a draft-n router, the 4965AGN automatically goes into 'N' mode, right? I checked for a firmware upgrade for my Pre-N, and there was nothing available. Maybe I'll call Belkin to see what they tell me.
No, the chipset doesn't have the needed functionality, its not just a firmware thing. Pre-N wasn't really 802.11n, it was just 802.11g with a bunch of proprietary stuff similar in style to what was being proposed in 802.11n. There was no compatibility between manufacturers
hi folks, i recently received a t61p with intel 4965agn. i wiped the vista that it came with and installed xp. i've been unable to get decent speeds on any wireless networks, however. i've installed the latest intel drivers as well as thinkpad access connections.
access connections shows that it detects networks, and i'm even able to connect successfully to particular networks, but download speeds are extremely poor to non-existent. i know that there is no problem with the access point (transmitting in b/g) because the d630 (using a b/g WLAN) next to me is able to download from the same point with relative ease.
i'm kind of baffled by this, and have been experimenting with the various settings that the intel driver offers (n off, mimo off, etc) to no avail. can anyone suggest what settings i could use? i live in an apartment building and there are a lot of wireless connections, and (presumably) cordless phones around. i seem to remember reading somewhere that wireless n functionality is severely hobbled by having lots of devices around. if this is true, what's the best way to completely restrict the WLAN to b/g only?
Okay, it seems that the problem (re: my post above) has been solved by uninstalling Access Connections entirely, and then clean removing + reinstalling the Intel wireless drivers. It looks like the built-in XP wireless manager and Intel drivers can manage this fine without thinkpad access connections.
I have a notebook with a Intel 4965AGN. This board have 3 antennas connected internally. This 3 antennas are used in N mode whereas in G mode only one antenna are used.
I want to put a external connector for antenna and I use only modes b/g.
My question is... which antenna are use for this mode? if I connect my external connector in - for example- connector 1 and don't disconnect the other antennas (internals) in mode b/g which antenna are used????
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
