Re: Wireless network not found
Hi Camaleon,
Thanks for your response, I should have clarified earlier sorry that the iwconfig output I pasted below is the output if it connected to my portable hotspot at the time I was writing the email. Not my billion home Adsl that I'm having trouble with
The SSID is currently broadcasted but you are correct also about a/b/g/n is available. I will disable these to make N the only speed available
I will attempt these few tweaks when I get a chance tonight
Cheers
Nathan
