I have a D-Link DIR655 as main WiFi and LAN router. At the other end of the house I have Belkin N+ in Access Point mode hardwired to DIR655.
Android just few feets away from Belkin connects to Dlink.
Other computers have no problems connecting to Belkin and seamless switching to Dlink as I walk thorugh the house.
Any sugestions?

I am looking to get a ADSL Wireless router for use with my computers and the XDA IIs.
The one I have my eye on is the "Dlink DSL-G604T ADSL Router With Wireless LAN Access & Built-in 4-port Switch 54Mbps" - but I noticed that it uses 802.11g Wifi and the XDAIIs has 802.11b, so my question is, is it possible to connect the two together?
802.11b and 802.11g devices will connect with no problems. The worst that can happen is that all 802.11g devices will use the slower speed of the XDAIIs while it's connected.
Hi, I replaced my zyxel wireless modem router with a new Belkin N1 wireless modem router.
I configured the belkin with same wep details as old router. My wireless music steaming devide, my laptop and my Wii all connected right away - no problems - so I know the wep key etc is entered ok. BUT my phone will no longer connect.
My phone does connect ot the wireless network in my work place.
I rebooted the phone, no joy! Reset it, no joy!
I switched off the belkin and put the zyxel back on, and it connects at home.
I tried switching the belkin to broadcast G, no joy!
When I try to get it to connect to the network it shows all gren bars - so the signal is strong.
I dont use mac filtering.
Out of ideas - anybody know a solution?

You see, my laptop can see my wireless signal but my PDA can't when in the same room as my laptop.
I have two routers (and wiring the second router from the first and using it as an access point isn't an option).
Is there any way I can send the wireless signal from my laptop obtained from the parent router to the other wireless router (through an ethernet cable) and then connect my PDA to the second router as an access point?
Thanks,
You should be able to just bridge the connections in windows.
So if I attach a router with no internet connection to my laptop (which has a wireless connection from a second router) via an ethernet cable, I should be able to detect it in My Network Places as a LAN connection and then bridge the connection with the wireless signal my laptop gets, which would then allow the router to transmit that signal wirelessly as it would if I connected it directly via an ethernet cable to the parent router and used it as an access point?
I just feel like there's too much magic behinds the scenes that Windows needs to do for that to work out. I'd be super happy if that works though, I'll try it when I get home!
I tried connecting the router from the LAN and WAN port and bridging my wireless connection with the LAN connection from the router connected to my laptop. In both cases (through LAN and WAN ports on the wired router), I was not able to connect to the original wireless signal after I bridged the connections.
Is anybody having any trouble connecting to 802.11n on their GTab?
I'm running a D-Link DIR-655 with G/N enabled only. My girlfriends iMac is connected to it via 802.11n and the GTab is only connecting at 802.11g.
Thanks,
Anthony

just so we are understanding correctly, are you even seeing the signal show up in the available choices of wifi? Or are you seeing it, attempting to connect, and it just doesnt do anything?
Im seeing the same, my Galaxy Tab only connects at 54mbp/s to my Wireless N Access Point. It connects just fine, even when forcing Wireless N, but only connects at 54mbp/s. my Atrix does the same thing.
What's the point of having a wireless N card if its stuck @ 54mbp/s??
I just bought my Galaxy Tab, and when doing the initial setup I was experiencing problems connecting. I reset my modem/router and that solved it, it connected right up after the reset (unplug modem and router for 15 seconds, then plug it back in, then try to connect).
I'm using 802.11n
Try a new router. I had a dlink DIR-650 (i think that is the model) and it worked find for pretty much everything but smartphones. it would connect but not do anything. I decided to can it with my Tab coming and got a linksys router that is doing very well.
I'm getting a good N connection and good speed with my D-Link gaming router.

No issues with the 10.1 connecting to N on my Dir 655. My Dir 655 is on firmware 1.3 and only broadcasting N no G. Im getting 65Mbps
just to confirm, I have two routers in my house since not all devices I own (ps3, 360) connect to a wireless N connection without a newer adaptor. My tab connects to both with ease
PSA:
There is a great (new?) option in Android 12 Developer option to get Wi-Fi debugging information.
It's called "Enable Wi-Fi Verbose Logging = ON"
I needed this option because I needed to debug the following scenario:
My upstairs desktop PC has no Wi-Fi card
So I flashed an old WRT54Gv8.1 router to dd-wrt
I then connected a CAT5 cable from the upstairs desktop RJ45 port to on of the four LAN ports of that dd-wrt router
Once I did that, I was able to log into the dd-wrt from the upstairs desktop PC to set up a wireless bridge to the downstairs router AP.
I first set that dd-wrt router to "wireless client bridge" mode
I then ran a dd-wrt "site survey" which found my 2.4GHz home router AP downstairs
I pressed the dd-wrt "join" button to wirelessly bridge to that downstairs 2.4GHz AP
Since it had encryption, I duplicated the 2.4Ghz home router SSID's authentication stuff
But I was initially having connection problems to the downstairs Netgear N router 2.4GHz access point...
At first I couldn't figure out why it didn't work (which is where the "Enable Wi-Fi Verbose Logging" debugging came in handy.
But after a few tests, I was able to get it to work by adding a powerful additional access point downstairs.
That powerful additional access point downstairs was a Ubiquti Rocket M2 radio I just happened to have lying around unused.
This gave me a LOT of networking power!
Particularly for my weak Android phone wi-fi connection!
By plugging the Rocket M2 into the downstairs router...
That instantly added another Wi-Fi access point downstairs
Which happened to be a far more powerful transmit power
And more importantly, it has far better receiver sensitivity
Overall, that connects the upstairs PC (which doesn't have Wi-Fi) via it's Ethernet port to the dd-wrt router which is then wirelessly bridged to the downstairs home router 2.4GHz SSID access point.
And, I can connect my Android phone when it's upstairs or downstairs to that powerful and sensitive new 2.4GHz access point.
The upstairs PC gets its Internet through the dd-wrt-to-downstairs-Rocket M2 AP client bridge
The Android phone upstairs can also connect wirelessly to that downstairs Rocket M2 access point
But the verbose wireless option showed me that the Android signal level isn't as good as it can be (given the weak WiFi of the Android phone).
But then I hit upon an idea...
... which gives the phone the PERFECT wi-fi connection upstairs!
Once I had the dd-wrt working in "Client Bridge Mode"/
I slightly modified the dd-wrt settings
I simply changed the dd-wrt "Wireless Client Bridge" selection to a wireless "Bridge Repeater"
And then I created a "virtual" SSID for that new wireless bridge repeater
Voila!
That accomplishes three things which pretty much make the entire setup almost perfect.
In fact, it's the best of all worlds when it works.
I converted the upstairs PC with only Ethernet, to a powerful Wi-Fi connection
At the same time, I added a "virtual access point" upstairs for the Android phone to connect to
Both the Android phone (when upstairs) & the upstairs PC have strong signal to the downstairs AP
And, best of all, when I go downstairs, the Android phone can still have strong signal because the phone can connect to the wireless client bridge that is downstairs wired to the home router (or it can connect to the home router original 2.4GHz & 5GHz access points).
It's perfect! (when it works).
And when it didn't work - I used the Android 12 Developer options "Wi-Fi verbose logging" to catch error messages.
