I wish I can hack into setting to turn it on to do away with Wireless Bridge. I think ZMax actually have Wireless N card and it should works the same way to keep behind uncluttered.
Now ZMax is using old Dlink for good reliable wifi connection. I use 2.4GHz instead of 5Ghz because 5Ghz seem weak even it's 20 ft away and it get a little funky. My Dlink Bridge is old but it's amazing that it stubbornly stay connected unless there's power outage. It must be reliable.ĭlink Wireless bridge passed my rule of thumb. It was the easiest bridge to setup BUT one bad part is that it boot up and ready to use in 3 MIN!!!!! Too SloOther bridge easy to set up but it's funky so returned to store for refund.ġ- It must boot up and ready to use within 30 secondsĢ- It must be able to handle heavy internet loadģ-It must not crash over the time (sitting idle for long time)Ĥ-It must stay connected wirelessly to router without getting funky or disconnected for no reason. After that, Bridge connects to Wifi and it's ready to use afterward, browser will not go into Bridge setup afterward.
While other Wireless bridge of different brands, I forgot what name it was and it is small and when you first use Bridge, you simply run browser and it'll go to bridge setup first thing. So Z20 will quickly connect and go online. Why Dlink? Because it boots up 30 seconds and ready to use while Z20 still booting up after power plug unplug/plug reset. I found out that Dlink at that time was the best bridge even it's complicated to configure. I experimented with several different Wireless Bridge in past when I was ZInstaller. So you'll have to play around with different routers (if you're a VP installer, you'll know) Often Wireless B and G which are very old and doesn't go that far while A and N can go that far. Even with perfectly good wifi card you have and still get 2 or 3 bars signal and router only few feets from it. Router brands can play role on quality of signal. I saw big improvements on signal reception. I decide to swap lousy one for better wifi card coming from other broken laptop. I told him that he can buy better one in Ebay and swap it then install driver in it. He had settings correctly configured as I saw but still weak.
One guy had hard time getting his laptop stay connect to Wifi which was just 10 feet from us. I was invited to go over to friend's house bringing laptop so everyone can log in website and sign in sponsor and submit as many support as we can for Deaf NASCAR driver. So what's the difference between Wifi Card and Wireless Bridge, both works the same way. Z could have done better job by swapping out WiFi card for higher quality one.
