UPC Cisco 3925

sReq | uTeK

Hi All I know there is a sticky but it never seems to get answered.

I've got a few queries that I'm hoping someone can help with.

Firstly I'm looking for the user and pass needed to login into the router UPC gave me.

Secondly I've just purchased a Wireless N 450Mbps card.
I'm going to relocate the computer down into the room below and run it wirelessly, this is not a choice but a necessity.

If I change the router to Band N only and the card to Band N only will it have repercussions on the other devices in the house that use wireless, I'm mainly talking about two Iphones and a laptop that is occasionally turned on.

Also the wireless card I bought is a TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 I'm wondering how I go about making this Band N only.

If you could let me know it would be much appreciated.

Hi Guys.



Can anyone tell me if the 3925 supports wireless band N. can't see it anywhere on the settings.

Is there anyway to make n only?
I'm having some trouble I have the 3925 on the 3rd floor. I've moved my computer to the 2nd floor however I get a better signal on my laptop down stairs than I do closer on the 2nd floor.

Is there anything I'm doing wrong, is the modem just bad for wireless and I need to purchase a proper router and bridge it?

Just click login, there is none, then you setup your own

y0, yup figured that out.

Now what I'm looking for is some help getting the best out of the machine.
The router is situated upstairs.

I seem to be connecting at about 70 whilst beside it but I'm hitting about 30 megs when in the room below the router, signal strength is on 4 bars.

Is there a way to make it N only, if I do make it N only does that mean that my iphone and other wireless devices won't be able to pick it up.

Is the signal really that **** that im connect at 30megs while being a room under the router??

If so, is my only option to go and purchase a proper wifi router? or failing that look at powerline adapters

hi, this modem has most crappy wireless I've ever seen
just get good router e.g. netgear and use it as wireless access point

Might just get UPC to put a connection into the study and just go back to Ethernet.

How much is it for an engineer to come out and do it.
