CyberQ WiFi and iPhone/iPad

I use infrastructure mode instead of Adhoc. My CyberQ is a long way from my wifi repeater and it works fine with no wifi dropouts. Probably uses the same transmitter for both modes.

Infrastructure mode is the best way to use the CyberQ Wifi. I find the adhoc mode is rather unreliable especially if your ISP is using a dynamic IP. Infrastructure mode requires an assigned MAC address for the CyberQ on your router preventing a loss of the connection.

They definitely don't make doing firmware updates easy. They could have made a flash installed and a USB port to make the whole process less complicated.

Adhoc mode creates a direct wifi connection between the cyberQ and whatever device you are using to control it (iphone, tablet, computer, etc) meaning your connection distance is limited by the combined power and sensitivity of the network card antennae on the devices.  They tend to be relatively weak on phones and tablets to conserve battery power, but stronger on computers and laptops.  Using infrastructure mode means all communication goes through your router with a much stronger antennae relay giving you far better connection reliability and range. (You phone/tablet talks to the router which in turn talks to the CyberQ)

My biggest gripe (and biggest caveat on infrastructure mode) with the CyberQ and the reason I will not get one is that it only functions in Wireless-b (802.11b) mode.  Due to the nature of wireless networks, even if you have a shiny new Wireless-ac or "n" router, connection speed and range for every device will be dropped to the lowest common wireless standard (the CyberQ in 802.11b mode) as long as it is on the network, losing out on the range and speed benefits offered by the more advanced standards (g,n,ac) that you are payed for when you bought that beefy new router at Best Buy.  Not saying this would be a problem for many people, most wouldn't even notice unless they are in a big house or are trying to stream from a room far away from the router.  But putting it in infrastructure mode will affect overall range and speed available to all devices on your router.
