Is the NF poor on both 2.4 and 5g and across the whole band(s)? Have you tried turning the radios to see if it's from a specific direction? Leon WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] stopgap for congested wi-fi channel
Yikes! MT radios with the squelch function. BIG antennas and JUST enough TX power to get your system 10 to 15 dB over the noise levels. Cross polarize as much as you can. Move one end? Even if you have to make two or three hops, but pointing into a new direction might help. Out of all of the 2.4 and 5 gig bands there must be somewhere that you can go that's not that high... marlon - Original Message - From: Rogelio [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Saturday, November 29, 2008 1:00 PM Subject: [WISPA] stopgap for congested wi-fi channel When you have a noise floor of -30 dBm to -50dBm on a 2.4/5.8 11a/b GHz Wi-Fi band, is there anything configuration related that you can do to alleviate the problem other than switch channels, use narrower beam antennas, etc. (I've got a situation where I have to make chicken salad out of chicken crap for a little while until I have another option.)

[WISPA] stopgap for congested wi-fi channel
When you have a noise floor of -30 dBm to -50dBm on a 2.4/5.8 11a/b GHz Wi-Fi band, is there anything configuration related that you can do to alleviate the problem other than switch channels, use narrower beam antennas, etc. (I've got a situation where I have to make chicken salad out of chicken crap for a little while until I have another option.)

Re: [WISPA] stopgap for congested wi-fi channel
Well, speaking as one of the most experienced wireless interference-reduction specialists in the broadband wireless industry (and also one of the most humble)... No, there's not much you can do except possibly to deploy more access points (or wireless nodes) closer to your end-users. You will have to do this in a way that does not increase the level of inter-access point or inter-node interference. My recommendation is to either a) call in an experienced wireless professional for advice, or b) ask the kid next door who knows wireless because he deployed a wireless router in his bedroom. jack Rogelio wrote: When you have a noise floor of -30 dBm to -50dBm on a 2.4/5.8 11a/b GHz Wi-Fi band, is there anything configuration related that you can do to alleviate the problem other than switch channels, use narrower beam antennas, etc. (I've got a situation where I have to make chicken salad out of chicken crap for a little while until I have another option.)
