All, Netgear reports receive sensitivity for theis MA101 USB adapter as:
Receive Sensitivity (8% PER) -84dBn@11Mbps -87dBm@2Mbps [EMAIL PROTECTED] -91dBm@11Mbps Now how does PER (packet-error-rate) compare to BER (bit-error-rate)? Is there some "standard" packet size that is used in this kind of measurement? Reason for question: I have some houses real close to my mini-WISP (7.7dB omni + 6ft RG58 + WAP11) where I can easily get signal with my laptop and the Avaya/Orinoco PC-CARD specified as: Receiver Sensitivity -82 dBm -87 dBm -91 dBm -94 dBm (from Avaya web site) At the same time they specify BER 10E-5, so I assume this is also the condition for the receive sensitivity measurement. Now these houses have desktop PC's and want USB or PCI type client devices. I tried the Linksys USB device and that clearly does not get any signal there. Other tests also suggest that it clearly is not as good as the Avaya PC-CARD. So I am searching for USB or PCI types that match or beat the Avaya PC-CARD. // Rolf -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
