G70 and G75 - is this the best I can expect?

Bought one of each as an upgrade to my tortured G30s

I'm really disappointed in the lack of range and drop outs I'm experiencing

I ran the G30s for 7 years with virtually no problem

2 gigs in with the G70 and I have a third of the range and dropout galore

Updated the firmware

Have done the nonsense scan (that I didn't have to do with the G30) and still poor performance

Having read up on some of the issues here I'm curious to know

Is this it? Working as expected just worse than the unit 1/3rd the price

Hi fukuri
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I read your post. And many others. That was what made me doubtful. Why does it work so badly for some but not for others? Use to be immune to negative posts, they are always there. Instead, try to read between the lines and learn. Have lived through the forum comments with my POD Pro HD, which some thought was very unusable, which I loved and could get to do everything I wanted ... There I can only say that it is patience and an interest to learn, even if there is a learning curve.

This time it's a bit more serious, not so much you can change yourself more than knowing its the 2.4 band and is open and that its houses a lot of other equipment. Crazy to find the best channels. We did a channel search on WiFi / 2.4G at a customer, w found 510 other disturbing wireless bases in the neighborhood. Many pretty strong. Should be impossible to compete in that spectrum. We shift the customer to 5.0-band. It was in the middle of town. I myself have about 10 access points around me and live outside the town... Had expected that type of responses, that its sensitive to other equipment, or you have to trim something or that the location should be in a certain way ... The closest I think I came to for an answer is that someone wrote that modulation changed from RF1 to RF2, ie from a band made for this type of devices to a band made for "home WiFi", bigg difference ... But certainly, motivated by finding a band allowed worldwide.

 

The difference between G30/50 and G70/75 looks like to be RF1 changed to RF2 and not configurable. My conclusion...

To sum up, I'll park this purchase at this time. Learned something new to look for when looking for a wireless system.

 

Again, thanks for your feedback fukari
