Re: ok, windows 6.5 and wifi connecting...

so, my question is, how do i bring up the standard windows wifi selection application, because if i go to settings/connections/wifi whatever, it just gives me a list of different types of network connections, internet, work, and then below that is the adapter with a bunch of other junk i never use. whats the deal with this?
yea i dont know why John responded with that... lol obviously if you can connect upstairs you know how to do it... maybe incase you forget on the way down... lol jk...

Anyways, have you tried the EnableWLANGMode cab? See the WiFi radio on the TP is G speed/range capable but capped [in the registry] as a B router... I know...Dumb right?
Try this out cab out, and lemme know!
