At my apartment, there are at least 14 APs at any given time, and all have fairly strong signals, and are 802.11g. Needless to say, the airwaves around my apartment are packed.
As a result, my wireless signal will often drop out, and I'm figuring the only reason is because of the interference. I've restarted, double checked, etc. my AP (Linksys WRTG54g) and all looks to be fine. If I plug into the AP, it's always fine. I've tried changing channels, but to limited success. On each of the 1, 6 and 11 channels, there are at least 3 other APs. When I switch to a channel in between, signal quality actually looks worse. I've also changed between B only and G only mode, but with little result. So, what can someone do to get a reliable wireless signal in these types of environments? Are there any tips or online resources that describe the advanced settings of the WRT54g that might improve my performance? Any other tips or resources? And, if I were to buy a new AP, would it make a difference, and what would some recommendations be?
