Quick Tip - WiFi - G Mode Only

On today's Media Center Show Podcast Ian had a question about how to improve wi-fi connectivity. The listener had been trying to stream over 802.11g without success. One trick which can greatly improve the quality of service for 802.11g on most Access Points is to switch them to G Mode only. This is usually an option on the Wireless Access Points settings screen. By switching off B compatibility you prevent speed degradation by other B devices connecting.

Now this isn't the whole story as the 802.11 band is very crowded and things like Microwave ovens can equally be problematic but it might help.
