>I can connect to either of these without a problem. AirPort iconshows 2-3 bars. Never a disconnect problem, either.
Still trying to figure out why the AP accessible (sometimes) from my office is really intermittent, and the one(s) at the library are rock solid, with very similar signal and noise numbers.
Ideas?
No ideas, but identical problem. I had an old grey base station with three original airport cards connecting to it. When I got a new powerbook, I also got an extreme base station and am now a mixed b/g house. The grey base station never had the problem (although the titanium would occassionally drop out, it was obviously it having trouble). Now, I suffer the exact same problem and like you macstumbler doesn't show a change.
The AP is a 3Com product, not an AirPort base station. This would indicate that the issue might lay with the cards' ability to handle noise/interference. They just prefer to be *very* close to the AP.
I do have considerable interference in my location from neighboring base stations which are all on the same channel (neighborhood network centered on my house uses the other two).
It could be the AirPort card's sensitivity to other 802.11 activity in the area. Even though MacStumbler indicates a strong signal, is this strength of just the one indicated AP's signal? Or a composite of several AP's signals? Who knows?
Befuddled.
