Hi all, All my SBs beside a boom box are connected via ehternet cables. The boom box is connected wirelessly to either an Asus router with dd-wrt firmware (details below) or an additional access point (details below)(same SSID, same WPA key).
Because of the additional access point, I want to set the radio channel of both WLAN access points to distinct frequencies to avoid interferences. But when I set the channel to ANY "fixed" frequency on the Asus router (disabling "auto" mode) the connection to the boom box drops at high bitrates (FLAC). Connected to the Devolo AP, the fixed channel does not seem to affect the WLAN stability. FLAC audio is streamed flawlessly. All other WLAN devices (WLAN-VoIP-Phone, Notebooks, Cell-Phones with WLAN) do not seem to bother on whether the radio channel is set to "fixed" or "auto" mode. Now my questions are: Is there a bug in the boom boxes WLAN electronic? Is it a bug in the dd-wrt firmware, that appears only in combination with the boom box? Is it possible to leave one/both APs in the "auto" channel mode, without causing interferences? Is it due to electromagnetic pollution, that "auto" mode performs better because it automatically choses the best channel (allthough only one other WLAN from the neighborhood is visible. The devolo APs area is certainly not less noisy). Any hints on how to track down the issue?
