Hi everyone! This is my first post so if I forget about anything I hope you can help me make this useful for everyone. Currently I own a Laptop which comes with a Broadcom BCM4313 WLAN card. I'm in a far place from the AP but I still have enough signal to watch HD videos on YouTube most of the time, but from time to time signal fades because of environment factors.
What I've observed is that if I keep pinging the AP it replies unthil signal fades, then I reconnect to the network and ping shows replies for at least one packet and it can work for a couple more sometimes. That makes me think the WLAN card and the AP have enough power to keep working between each other despite of the distance but something makes the card go in a low-power mode or something because signal immediately drops and stop replying. Did it happened to anyone else? Is it a known bug or feature (maybe a regulatory feature) ? Anyhow, if you need any information just let me know, the AP is a TP-LINK router and it works with my phone for even longer distances. BTW: I have a decent C programming background and I can help with anything you need with the only detail of time being a constraint sometimes.
