Probably not the best forum to post this on (a networking forum would probably get you a much better answer, but:

1. No. As long as you're connected with 100/1000mbps, the WiFi radio itself is the limiting factor. Piggybacking two a router off a router won't have a noticeable effect on your transfer speeds.

2. To see the maximum benefit fron N900, you will need to be using clients (adapters) that support 3x3 spatial streams over the 5GHz spectrum, and that also clearly state they support '900'). These are not built into the majority of devices, and are quite expensive as far as adapters go.

You will notice some improvement in range regardless of whatever clients you connect (more powerful radio in the router), but if you're using single stream N clients (smartphones, iPads, cheap laptops etc.) You won't see any improvement on actual throughput at all assuming your old router was 'N' capable. If it was 'G' only, it's worth upgrading to N if you do a lot of local transfers, if you have a lot of clients, or if you stream audio/video a lot.

I hope this kinda helps and doesn't confuse you more, sorry but it's really not my strong suit. There's an excellent Australian forum called Whirlpool which is dedicated to networking and ISPs, although the regional stuff may not be relevant you may find a better answer there.

Good luck! :)

Have you considered flashing your Linksys router with DD-WRT or Tomato? There are lots of "how-to's" with a quick Google search; and it may solve your problems...particularly #3.

Edit... BEFSR41 router not supported, WRT54G wireless is supported.. now to find out more

Maybe my stuff is not as old as I thought and still useful? Or is it in fact dated like I think and I am losing out?

BEFSR41 router

WRT54G wireless
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
Ah the old WRT54G. One of the best and most customisable routers ever made. Unfortunately, in this day and age it'll also be your bottleneck. G wireless maxes out at 54mbps. Even single-stream N wireless (common on phones and tablets) maxes out at 72mbps. Even budget implementations of N in laptops, desktops etc. generally use 150mbps max throughput. There are all theoretical numbers, and don't include overheads or anything like that.

The other thing you need to consider is whether you are aiming to boost file transfer speed, or internet browsing/gaming/streaming speed. Boosting your wireless gear will get all your clients talking as fast as they can, but there'll be no benefit in it for you at all if you're on a 2mbps ADSL connection. Even B wireless can handle that.

If it's LAN transfers and LAN gaming you're going for, then the wireless upgrade is a winner. If it's internet-side speeds you want to boost, you may be better off putting the money into a higher-speed broadband plan :)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btoad:
My Vibrant phone is one of the versions where pressing any combination of buttons won't let me get to download/recovery mode, and the only way to get there is using odin or the vibrant toolbox. Knowing that plus the fact that right now my Vibrant is black screen locked right now, I'm guessing there's nothing I can do to save my phone at this point. Confirm/deny?

Also, what would T-Mobile say if I took my phone to their store and told them my phone won't turn on. They wouldn't be able to unbrick it would they?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btoad:
Yeah that didn't work because of the step involving pressing the power buttons. I'm taking it back to t mobile
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashmundy:
Actually, this doesn't involve the power button. Putting the battery in, combined with having Odin waiting on a USB connection, does something that is more effective than vol-key(s)+power. Not positive that the USB and/or Odin part is required, didn't deconstruct the method. The OP where I got it said remove sim, but I didn't do that. Good luck
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btoad:
Yeah I meant to say volume buttons. My Vibrant doesn't respond to any of those key combinations so I'm pretty much ****ed

Hey guys,

a friend of mine has got a problem and I hope you may can help me.

He had 3.2 on his tablet and wanted it to root. So he did the "downgrad method" an everything worked well. Then he flashed the Thor ICS Rom with CWM. Everything was fine, but he wanted to flash antoher ROM.

I don´t know why, but instead of using the CWM full backup he flashed again the "downgrade_not_stable" file.

Now he is stuck on the Android boot screen.

CWM isn´t available anymore, so he can´t flash another ROM.

Is there any option to solve this problem?
[Acer Iconia A500] ultramag69:
Go to settings and then about. Go to system update at the top. This should get him back to stock 3.2/3.2.1.THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE... You will need wifi as it downloads official update.

After getting back to stock 3.2/3.2.1 go to android market and install the acer recovery installer and also install iconia root, you should find both here somewhere.

THEN downgrade to 3.0.1.

Run iconia root, then acer recovery installer (puts cwm back on tab).

Install rom of choice by transferring .zip file onto sd card and booting into cwm.....
[Acer Iconia A500] skailine:
At first thanks for your fast answer.

The problem is that he is stuck on boot screen which means he isn´t able to go to any settings. After downgrade from ICS to 3.0.1 not stable, he only sees the Android Boot logo

[Acer Iconia A500] skailine:
Thank you all!

We will give this a try, even if the Rom he used to downgraded doesn´t seem to be bad. (He allready succsefully used it to downgrade and root from stock rom before flashing ics and doing weird stuff :D) But maybe there just went something wrong with the downgrading process. Worth to give this other rom a try.

I have an additional question: Isn´t it possible, that there is a problem with the kernel used with the ics rom and the needed kernel of the downgrade rom?! (sorry i don´t really know about this stuff)

/edit: Ok following problem: USB debugging is not turned on and he can´t turn it on because he is stuck in boot :/
[Acer Iconia A500] ultramag69:
Try holding down power and - volume, when acer logo appears then rock the screen lock button back and forth once. This should clear cache and user data.

Try flashing the 3.0.1 update file again using acer recovery (you might try downloading again in case its a corrupt file) and see if that works.... Then install iconia root and acer recovery installer to root and reinstall cwm.

If this doesn't work, I'm out of ideas....:(
[Acer Iconia A500] SugarCoatedAngel:
That sounds like a good idea.... nev3r knew about rocking the lock button..

[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
Just tell him to use the EUU tool from timmyDean's thread to flash stock rooted 3.2.1 from your PC or use the method 1 downgrade from my signature.

Oh, and he doesn't have a "bad download", and he flashed the same 3.0.1 that worked the first time. The mistake was done when he flashed 3.0.1 over thor's Asus based ROM 3.2.1 making it a mess.

Guys, really need your help, please! Will pay dollars for help. :)

This is such a huge pain in the ass! Sorry for 2xpost.

I have followed this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399331

I really managed to get to this point with success:

and problem starts on:

RUU installer simply freezes on "Sending" data to phone. I am stuck there, sometimes it gives error [171], sometime shows that ''battery less than 30% remaining''. What the heck is going on? (I have locked bootloader before RUU install, because I have read that it should be like that.) (HTC Sync installed before RUU install)
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
You need to relock the bootloader with the command "fastboot oem lock"

So boot the phone into fastboot, then in cmd run above command, then re try the RUU.
[HTC Desire S] Forwox:
Already did that, but with no success. Still the same problem. RUU installer freezes on "Sending".

As I enter bootloader ***Unlocked*** on the top is changed to ***Relocked***, so command "fastboot oem lock" did the job.
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
Try extracting the rom.zip file from the RUU, then renaming it to PG88IMG.zip then place that file on your SDcard root then apply the update in hboot.
[HTC Desire S] Forwox:
I have dowloaded RUU file which is .exe, is there any RUU what you would recommend for me? (phone is not branded, Europe: Latvia) Maybe I am using wrong RUU also?

And as I will put PG88IMG.zip in to SD card, how should I apply the update in hboot, by running some command in cmd?
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
@Forwox

To get the ROM.zip from the RUU and to install via PG88IMG.zip

Start the RUU and once at the main page go to Start>Run and type in %temp%

Next find the newest folder and in there will be file called rom.zip. Copy this file to the desktop and rename it to PG88IMG.zip

Now copy this file to your SD card and start the phone in HBOOT (turn it on whilst holding volume down). It will find the file and start the update.

If that fails please run this fastboot command "fastboot getvar all" and post its results and the RUU you are trying to install.
[HTC Desire S] Forwox:
Well, I got that rom.zip from %temp%, newest folder found rom.zip (rom.zip date modified is 2011.03.15) , put it into SD card, then entered HBOOT and it gave me:

Glad it worked out, never heard of a RUU not working in this way (want main version, wasnt CID related). Only thing I can think of is maybe the RUU's (v1.28/1.47) each respond differently to the later versions (v2.10) or luck of the gods or a bad download of the RUU.

Downgrading difficulty

Hi all.

After finding myself in a similar situation, I used the downgrading method outlined in this thread to allow myself to get S-OFF on my HTC Desire S. Everything was going fine until step 9, just before I had to use the revolutionary tool to get S-OFF. After installing the downloaded RUU file (I double checked that the version number matched that found on my android) I rebooted the phone and saw that the HBOOT version was still 2.[something]. I repeated the method from the start in case I missed something but got the same result as last time.

I don't know much at all but what is the HBOOT version in the RUU your trying to install? Do you have an RUU from earlier Version? If you don't know you can run the installer to the first screen, then run this in CMD %temp% and search the latest folder for rom.zip. Thanks to foX2delta for the info.

What exactly are you trying to achieve by running adb in FASTBOOT mode? Of course you'll get errors. And if you didn't do enough reading to know that you should prepare misc_version for downgrading BEFORE relocking the bootloader - then just run the RUU and hope it'll work, and if it won't - you're screwed and need to unlock, flash, run misc_version and relock again.

Than just visit revolutionary.io and get s-off

In that case, enable usb debugging. Google it or search Youtube and see how it's done, if you won't find the option in Settings.

P.S. There is no noob-proof tutorial. I've seen people failing to follow the most step-by-step-explained-for-5-year-old tutorials.
