Assume you have a MAC on this wireless net, MacStumbler or equivalent is a free download. It tells you who 'Channel', 'WEP', 'SSID', signal is sharing the real estate with you. REMEMBER in picking a channel they overlap each other ..
Do a web search for "802.11 channel frequencies" USA/FCC & Canada regions have 11 total channels allocated. All frequencies are in GHz. Channel Lower Frequency Central Frequency Upper Frequency 1 2.401 2.412 2.423 2 2.404 2.417 2.428 3 2.411 2.422 2.433 4 2.416 2.427 2.438 5 2.421 2.432 2.443 6 2.426 2.437 2.448 7 2.431 2.442 2.453 8 2.436 2.447 2.458 9 2.441 2.452 2.463 10 2.446 2.457 2.468 11 2.451 2.462 2.473 R / Everett WA6CRE [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell (805) 340-6471 / VA (703) 879-6471 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Fields Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2008 19:33 To: [email protected] Subject: [SOCALWUG] Re: Apple AP Extreme Weirdness Folks, OK, so I figured it out (i think)... a. AP base was on same channel (11) as like four(!) other base units in nearby office park... all at similar signal strength 58%+... b. newer firmware re-uploaded to base unit for good measure.... So far seems to have worked... we'll see what happens n the AM tomorrow... Best, Jason.
