in a windows environment, you can go into the properties of the card through device manager and click the advanced tab and input manual settings, you need to remove the config tool from the startup and exit the program or the undesired settings will be back in play after a restart.
In case anyone tuned in to my "wap11 saga" here's what I think I have learned: one wap11 with a half watt amp (running well too: My laptop connects well with just a silver card in an attic more than 1/2 mile away, no external) 1/2 mile away in that attic is a pair of wap11's plugged into each other, one in AP mode, One in AP client mode. AP is connected to another half watt amp and an omni, AP client connects to a 14 db patch. LOS is not perfect, in fact from the rooftop I realized it has become more obstructed than I had originally seen. I relocated to the other side of the roof and things are 100% as far as link integrity. this also came after discovering a great deal of interfernce on my channel, I swithched and now the link is 80-90% for quality and 90% for rssi. the link has been rock solid w/ no packet loss for 30 hours. Problem is: it's slow! If I run toast.net tests from my house it comes back w/ the whole 1.5 megs, from the remote site: 350 kbps steady. I guess it's free packet shaping, but it's not helping. I have done some reading on how interference (other wlans on the same channel) will half your throughput, makes sense: your radio waits to hear the clear channel and sends when it can. If someone else has an AP on that channel (anywhere along the way!! not neccisarily visible while in either attic, I'm thinking if someone had a wap11 in their basement they could interfere w/ my signal beaming by but be invisible to me at either end) thereby killing both mine and his throughput, if he disabled broadcasting he'd be even more invisible! also makes sense a channel shuffle should resolve this, but does anyone have a suggestion on how I could verify this as the root cause or anything else that might resolve? I'll be swapping my channels and no doubt interrupting my users service in about an hour and I'll report back if I learn anything new. suggestions please? thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vinod" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 3:15 PM Subject: [BAWUG] command based control of wireless nic on windows > is there anyway i can control my orinoco(like changing > channels) from dos based commands or other ways in a > windows environment bypassing the client software > provided by orinoco? > Thanks, > vinod > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup > http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com > -- > general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> > [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
