From: ps56k on 22 Jan 2010 19:51 Had weirdest thing happen today... Running a Linksys WAP54G - version 3.1 - firmware 3.04 Came home and the WiFi in the house was "not working". Did some tests, and yup - nothing was associated with the WAP. OK - did some banging around, and after doing a "factory defaults" the WAP was working again. Hmmm... started changing things one item at a time, and discovered that when I got up to channel 10 or 11 (was config'd for channel 11) then the WiFi devices would not connect to the AP. Have you ever seen this - where the RF section degrades or something happens at the high freq end, such that channel 9,10,11 are not working right ? -- ---------------------------------- "If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something." - Steven Wright

Some seem to have one of their channels around 2.450GHz and although their power output is normally <10mW it is not unknown for some people to add a 1W amp. |
