as you said, discussed before, but I still am trying to wrap my head around how this could work without tying the foil to "ground" (say Vdd of the radio). From a physics standpoint. But if you did that do you essentially create a faraday cage (where nothing get through). That is why the basement is such a good idea (emphasis - to test) solid structures, especially those with water (moisture in the soil, concrete, people :)) will attenuate 2.4GHz carriers. The idea is to attenuate yours )(stronger than needed) and your neighbors (weak enough to no longer disrupt) - as you said Paul.. I (almost) wish I had a misbehaving radio. Maybe I'll try wrapping my phone in foil and run wifianalyzer and see what happens. :) Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Redrum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109953 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
