OT...wireless issues Options

[Joe Bob]

I had a Lynksis wireless hub and it sucked...it was a "B" model....constant drops and spotty connectivity....gave it the float test and now I have a "G" set up.....gives me an "Excellent" reading but only 54 Mbps....then it drops....then comes back up....

My hard cable gives 100Mbps.....

I have turned off all the remote phones....nothing changes.....

Is there some kind of monitor that can read interfernce on the frequencies that it transmits on?

WiFi my ass, there is a reason why you only see real wires in my house/office ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/type.gif) Andy yes...i agree, but when you have a psycho mom that loaths wires and yells at you incessantly at the sight of them, you gotta make a few changes....more APs, less problems...hell at western we put in 40 APs, each costing a couple grand......

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) You do wireless performance and you have a D-link at home? I have only been doing wireless since 1995 when I set up the 26 AP's at pier G for Sealand. Why would you choose the bottom of the line crap for your home? Linksys is by far the best home unit you can buy for the money. If you want professional equipment, go with Orinoco as it is probably one of the best on the market. When I did the port of Long Beach back in the 90's we used Aeronet which was bought out by Cisco. Linksys was also bought out by Cisco and the technology of the Aeronet is used in the new G system from Cisco.

i personally dont like any of them...i had a linksys WAP11 and it shit out ALL THE FREAKING TIME...this was on sale...it works for now and thats that....gimme $$$ for a cisco aeronet 1200 (like they used at WKU) and i'll be happy to use it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) D-link worked okay fer me so far, i'll wait till it craps out and then i'll get a cisco....


and how can you recommend a 802.11a AP if you dont know if he has a A card, or that his range will be quartered bc of using the 5Ghz band...A sucks and always has.....
