The internet has been draaaaaagging the past two nights for me, any idea what could be wrong?

Thanks guys. You are good at solving things.

Whoa. That was an intense thread. Thanks for fixing the problem…I was flipping out this morning and FRAN just ASSUMED that I’D screwed something up. Of course he may just have been voicing his disapproval of my frantic text message at 7AM… Sorry dude.

I changed it back, so the original issue should now be fixed. Is anyone else at the house right now and using the internet? I’d like to do some quick experiments this afternoon, but if I’d be disrupting anyone, I’ll hold off.

Is it possible to have the incoming bandwidth partitioned to multiple routers, each dedicated to a specific wireless mode (i.e. one on b/g and one on n)?

So does it mean that we cannot have a N speed in our house ?

Hey,
I think I know what the problem is. I’ll have it fixed later tonight.
(short story for any nerds listening in: Right now our wireless is running in mixed b/g/n mode. Ordinarily, that’s fine because N wireless is pretty fast. However, when a client without N capabilities connects to the network, the ENTIRE network has to degrade down to b/g. This is because of the way N-wireless radios work (they’re basically multicasting G-wireless radios, so the signal is running over the same hardware). I’ve been trying to set up an environment that will insulate me from these speed drops, and I think the fact that Erika’s room is below mine means that she was inadvertently affected. I’m trying to keep these experiments confined to late at night so it’s minimally disruptive, but occasionally a side effect will slip through, apparently. Ultimately, though, we need to find a solution to the problem, because we currently have far more bandwidth coming into the house than we can disseminate over our current wireless setup, PARTICULARLY with clients that aren’t N-compatible.)

hey – oh,

I tried to get on the magazine network this morning, but apparently I need to speak to the administrator about gaining my computer some access. Who might that be?

Peter Chou is CEO of world No.1 smartphone maker High Tech Computer. The Taiwanese company is launching its Diamond touchscreens  later this year, and expecting over 3 million in sales.

[Peter Chou, CEO, High Tech Computer]:
“We put tremendous software effort in this product to try to really make mobile Internet workable, so we see 2008 is the year HTC will take a major step forward to actually make mobile Internet usable and
fun.”

Nokia and Blackberry are also reportedly preparing touchscreens, as the high-speed phones allow video watching and music, as well as truer Internet connectivity.

Japan’s eAccess uses HTC phones and Chairman Sachio Semmoto says touchscreens will bring mobile broadband to the masses.

[Sachio Semmoto, Chairman, eAccess]:
“The iPhone is one tool; Diamond is another tool. Those kinds of smartphones, which are suitable for broadband appetite, are going to be increasing position for coming years.”

Apple has signed deals to bring the iPhone to selected Asian nations but not Japan, where it’s talking with top player NTT DoCoMo and No. 3 Softbank on a deal to enter the 100 million-user market.
