Hello Group-
Looks like a wet week-end, perfect time to solve my only Mac
problem. I have had an AirPort Extreme for over a year and have
never been happy with the reception. I have it sitting on a top
shelf of a 2nd floor room in a not-huge house. I start losing the
signal almost as soon as I take my PowerBook G4 down to the first
floor, even though I'm almost directly under the room where the
AirPort is. I added a Hawkings Techology antenna, which has a jack
made for the AirPort, but didn't really see much improvement. I also
added an AirPort Express to the basement area in hopes of boosting
the signal. That helped alittle, but only in the basement.
I heard on a podcast that airport channels should be set on 1, 6, or
11. Both my units are set on channel 10. What channel do users in
this group use? Should I reset both devices to default, and start
over with the airport admin utility? Should both be set to the same
channel?
Always appreciate any help.
Bill Micou
