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? |

Did you or your neighbors get any new wireless phones? The 2.4 GHz home phones can cause these problems, even if they are not in use, just the base stations plugged in. Go 900 MHz or 5.8 MHz, but skip the 2.4s.
Generally speaking, the 2.4 GHz shouldn't cause a problem like what you are having. I'd bet that your access point/router is flakey. Just like with cars, change the cheapest thing first and see if it gets better. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) If you are using a laptop, get a wireless PCMCIA card and try it. If that work better than the one in the laptop, there is your answer. Also, some of the built-in wireless antennas in laptops really suck. The market makes it so you need a wireless antenna in a laptop, but that doesn't mean it needs to be a good one. We have had all kinds of issues with Sony's built-in wireless nics. We have put PCMCIA cards in, disabled the internal and gotten good results. Or, you could piss on it. |
