Innacomm models use Realtek which is not a good wireless chipset.

RTL8671/RTL8671P

Broadcom-based wireless chipset is better which is used in TP-LINK TD-W8960N...

Anybody know can W3400v enable UPnP?
Seriously I couldn't find the option in the modem, need to enable it to sync video from media server to PS3.

Thanks...

Yes, but you need to enable Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) mode. You need to enter the PIN ID on the client if you used the PIN mode of the router WPS setup.

Meaning that I cannot use the normal (WEP/WPA-PSK) security method?
This is so trouble..... I don't want to kacau my housemate (they also sharing the same connection) whereby I have to go and authenticate the PIN on their laptop.

from the page you given, i don't see any "not a good wireless chipset" point been highlighted.
but i believe it might be true, as I try to ping the c2pid Innacomm w3400v inside my room, i get avg. 400ms of latency,
this is soooooo la unacceptable, just 2 meters away from the router with a normal house wall in between only.

was considering wanna buy a TD-w8960N or not, looks like shld go for it?
can it enable UPnP with a simple "tick" ? I don't want WPS... =.=

Yes, TD-W8960N supports UPnP

How to set up UPnP in TD-W8960N

4.4.12 UPNP

Choose “Advanced Setup”→“Upnp”, you can Enable or Disable the UPnP (Universal Plug and
Play) protocol on the screen.
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP for
simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. An UPnP device can dynamically join
a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities and learn about other devices on the
network. In turn, a device can leave a network smoothly and automatically when it is no longer in
use. UPnP broadcasts are only allowed on the LAN

Thanks alot for your help  smile.gif
hopefully TP-link can boost my home wifi performance.

With the W3400v, both my Macbook and Mac mini wifi stop working after idle for like ~15mins.
wifi signal still connected, but traffic doesn't move, can't even ping the router itself.
hopefully it is the router problem and not my mac tongue.gif

Why don't you buy AirPort Extreme? It can also be set up on Windows PC (Note: AirPort base station is not a web-based administration)
