Do you use an outside TV antenna?

I am 5 miles from my Navini Network basestation. Emu Plains to Kingswood, Sydney NSW, Australia My Rabbit modem is IN my metal garage. BUT, I use 2 x 10db horn antennas on the roof. No way do I have line of sight. Performance is always GREEN, never a dropout.

I have had same problem in US. Phone company wouldn’t put in DSL lines in my neighborhood (a scant 0.25 miles away). So they started the Ripwave service. Sometimes, blazing. Sometimes (most times) unusable. Alot of times, cannot get a signal. I have to rely on dialup fallback (wich I am glad that I didn’t cancel). I also bought a Linksys WRT54GS to hookup to it. Thing will not connect to internet through router. Had a Belkin 7230-4 that worked (intermittently, hence the “upgrade”). Going to get rid of it all and call the cable company to hook me up. I agree stay away from this Navini product (but not computers in general :)

I’ve heard of some “experiences” too. I have two Linksys routers and have never had a problem with either.

I feel for you, I once owned a D-Link router. Was a very frustrating experience. Needless to say I don’t buy anything D-Link these days…

To late :(

Sorry to hear about your internet troubles, it sounds alot like trying to use an Australian ADSL connection (Optus is crap).

Hope you're having a good time! :)
