Sirius

I just got the Netgear WNHDE111 wireless system for my home and it is up and running fine as wireless-N and A, I think. But my Sirius Stiletto 2 can't find the wireless network. The owners manual for the Stiletto says it operates on the 802.11b and g networks. I thought the N network was backwards compatable. Is this not correct? And how can I get my Sirius radio to work on the network. I want to keep this router because I plan on streaming TV over my computer and I want the faster network. Any ideas?

 

If you attach a B or G device to an N network, it'll slow it down. You may have it only able to connect N devices, which is a good thing for your computer's wireless, but it will not allow other devices to connect.

If you want the networking speed of N for your computers, but want to attach the sirius device you may want to get a cheap G router and attach it to your N router, and disable DHCP on it (So it acts as a wireless access point rather than a router).

Does it not have an ethernet port for direct attachment to the network?

 

The Stiletto 2 does not have a port for direct access. And that is what I was thinking of doing is attaching a cheap G-router to the network and only running it for Sirius. The alternative is to put an antenna outside and a wireless for the satellite signal in the house, which may be the better alternative, since you have more options when you get the signal direct from the satellite. Thanks for the reply!
