LOL, you haven't? I learned new words to express my frustration over this a few years back, when I had to spend 2 days stuck in a hotel with nothing else to do but try to work remotely. Same SSID and half of the AP's were on the same freaking channel, too.
I jumped AP's about every 2-6 minutes, as 3 of them were all about the same RSSI, and none of them were good. I was trying to do remote desktop over it and even IRC, none of which would stay working. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Josh Luthman" <j...@imaginenetworksllc.com> Sent: Friday, March 05, 2010 8:58 AM To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Subject: Re: [WISPA] Hotel > Same ssid different channels...hotels anywhere from 2 to 12 APs.
