You can do several things to alleviate this situation: 1. You can set your wireless transmitters to broadcast on a specific channel (1 through 11, most default to 6). Set the receiving equipment to the same channel 2. Enable SSID's, WEPS, and additional security on your devices. HARD CODE IT IN THERE. If you are not doing this anyway, you are violating HIPPA standards anyway. As long as the transmitting and receiving equipment share a specific SSID, then your equipment will ignore any other signals. 3. Find the setting on your receiving equipment that changes it from "look for strongest signal" to "use this specific signal" (see 2 above) 4. IANAL, but I believe FCC regulations prohibit individuals and organizations from transmitting signals that interfere with other individuals and organizations use of the same public frequency. Call the FCC on your neighbor.

HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== We are a Magic 5.4.2 site and are in the process of going wireless in approximately a month. We have just discovered a problem and would like to know if anyone else has found a resolution to this issue. We are in the center of our city and our next door neighbor is the University of Wisconsin. We are loosing our wireless connection because the signal coming from the university and another wireless vendor in town is coming through our building and is stronger than our own signal. Our wireless hardware is looking for the strongest signal and attempts to pick up on theirs thus aborting our connection. It does not get a handshake and thus comes back to our signal but by then our Meditech connection is lost along with the documentation we have completed to this point. Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated. Software, Hardware, Settings, etc anything!!!!! Dropping Like a Brick In Central Wisconsin.
