Most likely you have a module with a Marvell chipset. They don't do Auto-negociation (only work in 1000/full forced), same config required at the other end.

Solution: Use the MTK copper module. Will save you a lifetime of headaches.

Re: CAPsMAN disable B and G modes (N-only)

@chechito, thank-you very much for the help, and sorry about the other topic.

i must have missed something, because there is no rate tab in the CAPsMAN menu.


The only thing i can think of is that the CAP was set up in 6.34, and then upgraded to 6.35

Since there is a new line of low-cost "home" routers, my question is:

What is changed in the RF side of the radio, and which of the "sub-50 dollar" radios will give the best RF performance?
