Very good article, thank you. I can relate to the comment: -Note: some RF engineers recommend -65dBm as the lowest signal level for maximum performance.-. My ad-hoc experiences suggest that signal levels at, say, -70dBm may give acceptable performance if a connection can be established in the first place, but actually establishing the connection can be irritatingly flaky. Very noticeable when printing to a bonjour/zero-config printer, but not exclusively so. Possibly related to the amount of broadcast traffic that is required to "discover" whatever needs to be discovered - I believe that an AP will not apply any ACK/NAK procedure to this traffic, so if it's not heard then it's just lost for good. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mrw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38299 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113479 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
