Hi, thanks for the information. I have logged on to the freebsd router have a look at its wifi setup in rc.conf, but I don't think it is configured as b/g combination mode. I don't have a login to this router at the moment, so I can't post the content of the rc.conf file here. Do you mind post your wifi configuration here or send it to my email? Thanks Sam Yuri > >
