If you have a WiSpy key handy, put your laptop in the same room as a microwave while you make yourself some tea. Watch the whole spectrum go nuts. This works better on consumer grade microwaves than corporate, due to different shielding requirements. There was something a while back (a year or 2 or more) on the Daily WTF where some genius had installed APs for a college dorm in the same room as the communal set of 12 microwaves. They kept having connectivity issues for some reason :-). Basically, the point is that if you can't get your required number of APs, and want a really noisy signal, you could always stick a common microwave next to it. The advantage here is that your experiment keeps you fed while you work. :-) -- Thanks, Fernando Vilas fvilas at iname.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
