I know I set up my Linksys WRT54GL access point correctly because
my wife can do wifi to it on her Windows2000 laptop late at night or
early in morning.
It chokes during the day.
All I can guess is that the number of people doing wifi shoots up during
the day such that interference is unbearable for my little Linksys access
point.
I can't believe wifi is that susceptable and I'm at a loss as to what to do.
Should I buy a bunch of repeaters to push my signal above my neighbor's
interference? Is that all I can do?
Signal Strength.
Does it work during the day if the computer is only 2 feet from the AP?
What does the signal strength indicator on the W2K machine show daytime
vs. nighttime?
If it's weak, try a directional antenna or move the AP closer to the
computers with which it is used? Avoid more than a few feet of cable
between the antenna and the AP, you'll loose a lot there. Sometimes,
just moving the AP a few feet can make a big difference in signal
strength. You know, water pipes, wiring in the walls, screen behind the
plaster, etc.
