Well, needless to say I've wondered about the RF field strengths in the environment.
At work there are two different networks and nodes on four different channels, all 3 channels apart. Being in Europe, our WiFi networks, like Spinal Tap guitar amps, can go up to (channel) 13 so it is a little easier to choose channels that do not overlap. At home there are indeed several local WiFi networks on a number of channels. We have two nodes in the house, one on a low channel and one on a high one, (because my wife's laptop doesn't do WPA2 and I have one device that doesn't do WPA1) and we have a cordless phone system (switching it off has no measurable impact on performance). Local WiFi networks that I can spot with various sniffers are on channels at least 3 channels away from the one used by the Slim system (selected deliberately for this reason). Changing channels makes no difference (though I can actually make overall performance /worse/ by choosing the "wrong" channels, it doesn't actually affect the performance in this particular way). Perhaps most importantly: a) no other device I have (ie laptops etc) suffers from this problem, only the Nokia. eg, I can access the Nokia skin on my laptop and display albums by artwork and it's fine. b) I can access very complex web pages on the Nokia without it falling over. For example, if I display albums by artwork on the main SS skin (I'm using Fishbone), it works fine. Displaying albums by artwork with the 770 skin, however, is problematical - at home. At work it works fine. I was previously of the opinion that some 770 skin pages (such as display albums by artwork) were just too much for the Nokia. However now I have the server running at work and it's no trouble there, I'm not so sure. All I can imagine is that the system at home is somehow "on the edge" and a complex page pushes the Nokia (but not any other device) "over" that edge. Yet it can display a complex page with a standard SS skin fine. Work that one out... Aaargh. --Richard E -- relen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ relen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26401 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
