Has anyone had any experience with wireless LANs and Asterisk? We have and here are my impressions. We configured an Asterisk in the office as a precaution to see how it would work for our own retail customers. Our office is open space, about 800 sq ft. (20x40 area). We use Snom200 and

Has anyone had any experience with wireless LANs and Asterisk? I have played with the LocustWorld distro but not at length. Basically, it works. Some sort of QoS tagging for SIP, the docs on it are scanty. It has it's own internal encryption. Never tried it in full force, mostly because of

Mike, I'm using Asterisk over a wireless LAN (Netgear something or the other). I use my desktop as the server and a laptop for remote administration and testing. So far, I haven't had any major problems that I would attribute to the wireless connectivity. Cheers, BeOnIce --- Mike Meyer [EMAIL

Hi, My experience: A handfull of concurrent calls, all works fine on 54mbit. Dont try to go beyond that. Specially when your link is not totally 100%. We tried to do 10 calls on a dedicated Conceptronic AP and all fell down. even with the ulaw codec it was not doable for normal conversations.

Hi Mike, This is interesting - it's something that I've been considering doing for the Asterisk rollout at my company. We don't have enough Ethernet ports and I'm not thrilled about the expense of re-wiring the place. Have you tried D-Link's dual-channel gear for even more bandwidth, or do you

I am doing this with an ancient WAP-11 in Access Point Client Mode. I have it connected to a Sipura 2000 via a crossover cable. It's been very reliable and clean to talk on. I have a WET-11 on order. If it doesn't do a quality job, back it goes. /edg --On Thursday, February 10, 2005 4:17 PM
