I had an interesting discovery yesterday..... I was at a long time customer
trying to see why they have been having performance issues. I took along my
Cognio Spectrum analyzer because the signal looked good from the AP but I
could see the speed anywhere from 1 - 11 megs. (this is an 802.11b). From
the spectrum analyxer I could see their wireless router which was on the
same channel as our client radio (which I changed) and I could see "spikes"
clear across the 2.4 spectrum with good signal strength. I was able to use
the Cognio in my laptop and walk around the home until I found the source,
which was 2 xbox consoles. The xbox's were both turned off but still
outputting all across the 2.4. Once we unplugged both units the spectrum
went quiet. My question is: Can the xbox be configured to only use a set
channel in the 2.4? It appeared that it was using freq hop for the wireless
game consoles.
