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? |

Mike, Hopefully everything has worked out for you. However, despite the representations of our friends here, you should know that the Linksys routers use a common, readily available, cheap chipset for their wireless routers. The same chipset is used by many other manufacturers as well. The only thing special about the Linksys products is their firmware/software, and that is crap. If your problems haven't been eliminated, you can upgrade the firmware to some that is better and open source. Try either HyperWRT or Sveasoft. I would recommend that you try HyperWRT first. It gives you the ability to adjust transmit power as well as giving you additional wireless channels. It sounds like you have a lot of "noise" in your area. Using a channel that is unavailable in the standard Linksys firmware might help eliminate your problems. |
