Re: [Trisquel-users] Not all Wifi access points listed

[marioxcc . MT]

Not all residential gateways (mostly inaccurately known as “routers”)  
bind themselves to the IP address to 192.168.1.1 (I know you said this is an  
example). The actual IP address for typical connections can be obtained by  
using “route” or “ip” and is listed under column “Gateway”. Not  
all residential gateways accept telnet connections; none in my experience  
does. The routing table of the router has nothing to do with this problem;  
it's a link layer problem as he doesn't even sees the network listed. It's  
not true that “Any electric appliance nearby, less than three feet will  
cause transmit and receive noise and distortion.”. The 3 ft figure is  
completely arbitrary. Almost none would generate actual distortion, though  
*some* will generate noise within the relevant band. Distortion is not the  
same as noise, distortion is a non-linear phenomenon (For instance, clipping  
is distortion) and none of the materials “such as cement walls, brick  
walls, false walls interrupting the range.” are non-linear, do they don't  
generate any measurable distortion (Though they do *attenuate*, *reflect* and  
*refract* the signal, which degrades it); even the lead section on the  
article of Wikipedia on "distortion" explains this. jodiendo: Your intend to  
help is good, thanks for visiting this forum and helping in what you can, but  
please stop spreading inaccurate knowledge and pretending you know the topic  
in depth “I could go in full technical details but that will take a 350  
pages of information.” given that you lack an understanding of the basics  
(distortion, harmonics, suggesting to telnet to a residential gateway, etc.).

Regards.
