hi guys,
we have a wireless network at home with 4 laptops and 1 desktop which is the main computer connected to the netgear wireless router.
I have just purchased an o2 xdaiis, i tried connecting via wifi for 2 days with no success, then i decided to look at the settings on the router where i found the following

we had mode g which supports 802.11g
so i changed this to g+b which supports both 802.11g and 802.11b,i also had to change from channel 7 to channel 10 to get the laptops to work,but when doing this the main desktop didnt work,
this allowed me to connect with my xda and all laptops imediateley with excellent signal strengh,
The main desktop is my dads and he was not too happy when he came to connect so i had to put settings back to the original,

Could some one please help me with the connection on the main desktop computer with the g+b settings

Thanks in advance
Alan

there is a patch somewhere here that allows some of the phone (not sure about yours) to connect to g-mode (in b-speed). Try searching for it.

I wonder why the desktop is having problems with the new settings though.
