Weather a barrier on the power of the wireless signal?

FREE WI - FI, RAIN & SNOW

If a Protocol "N" dual-band WI - FI adapter which is connected directly to the USB port of a laptop computer inside the House and the router is in the garage about ten feet, should there be a weakening of the reception quality in the good House when it happens to be raining or snowing in the area of 10 feet between the garage and the House?  In other words, in addition to METAL interference or microwave OVENS or WIRELESS PHONES... not the weather elements possibly hinder these network connections?

I thank very you much for any information.

Hello

The weather could affect the signal strength. Radio transmission uses digital spread spectrum. Even if a small problem can spend because of lightning nearby, the packet will be retransmitted, you won't notice a difference. (Unless the lightning blew your 2.4 GHz wireless system telephone and microwave ovens are generating more effective disruption.

    We have about forty points of access Cisco Aironet 1131AG spread over four floors and they all have a static IP (BVI1) on the same SSID, customers will be on its own virtual local area network (dhcp on 3750 switch) and they use several channels (1,6,11).  Cisco Wireless Control System is pending. This wireless network should support roaming for customers (there will be Wi - Fi tags of multiple AeroScout and wireless laptops). To measure the strength of the wireless signal and wireless coverage on each floor. My questions are:

    1. How to measure the strength of the wireless signal: we must meet at least three APs available with signal excellent (I guess for the WCS needs that will determine the position of the client in the building)? We thought to use NetStumbler and a few laptops with wifi and measure as many points as we can as simpler thing. Or should we use something like Cisco Aironet Client adapters for our mobile phone and then use Cisco Aironet Client Utility (is it worth buying for our analysis and measurement)? Any other idea?
    2. What signal level should we consider for a good wireless (dBm)?
    3. That we should propose for authentication, authorization and management accounting? What happens to the roaming wireless? I did not quiteunderstand WCS, WDS and WLC-that should be used for above tasks?

    Thanks in advance.

    "Use the command on the AP" sh dot11 associations "will give you the clients associated with success.  If you add the MAC address of the client at the end of the command, you will get detailed information.  Look under "Signal Strength" and "Signal to noise".  Under the strength of the Signal, you want a value of-75 dBm or lower (lower values the better).  -76 dBm and is bad.  Under Signal-noise, you want a value of 25 dBm or more (values higher the better).

    To measure the strength of the signal, I use Airmagnet, but you can use Netstumbler or Cisco Wireless Site Survey.

  • my printer will not get the wireless signal and so my laptop can not find print, what should I do?

    How can I make the printer get the wireless signal?

    1 Microsoft do not have printers - so it would not be my first option to ask in the forums to help MS.

    2. we have even less likely to help when you do not tell us what printer, what operating system, what router wi - fi or anything!

    I suggest that you follow the instructions in your printer manual, with operating instructions of your wi - fi router to work things out.  You should connect the printer via a cable to the wireless installation.

    If stuck try the support forums on the Web site of the manufacturer of the printer with the forums on the website of the manufacturer of the router.

  • the wireless signal coverage signal strength is good, but the problem with the health channel network overlap more

    Hello everyone

    In our project after the implementation of the wireless project

    I had done the survey for heatmaps wireless post

    I had signal strength is good for what - 67dbm for 2.4 & 5 ghz

    but the problem that i am facing with bad network health and overlapping of channel are more

    controller to change the autotunning for the channel for a floor for 2.4 and 5 ghz and some APS change us 2 emission power

    for a floor that we tuned we receive good channel and network health overlap report for combined 2.4 and 5 ghz

    but for the single report 2.4 and 5 ghz, report overlap health network and channel are not good

    postsurvey tools that I use for ekahau

    When I use the ekahau tool each time tool message upgarded last skip version or version

    for postsuvey basically for the heatmaps approved as

    1 power the signal should be-67 or de-65 dbm

    Support in this regard will be highly appreciated.

    Wait a second.  I saw this card before floor!

  • two routers E1000 allows to increase the wireless signal

    I have an E1000 router in my office with a cat5 cable going to my room of girls through several doors and some corners. She (recently brought in) also has a router E1000.

    I need to know how to use both routers to increase the signal wireless in his room. I have not tried anything yet.

    The router in my office is configured with the address 192.168.2.1.

    I think that the E1000 does not support the type of internet connection "clipping". Bridge mode would be preferable to use. Be sure to install the latest firmware and see if it does.

    If not, configure it as follows:

    1. connect a computer to the (second) E1000. Open the web interface at http://192.168.1.1/

    2. on the main configuration page, change the address LAN IP of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.2.

    3. on the same page, disable the DHCP server.

    4. save the settings.

    5. unplug the computer and cable cat5 wire in one of the the second E1000 LAN ports. Do not use the internet port of the second E1000!

    Your daughter can use all three remaining LAN ports and the wireless connections.

    For more of a mobile wireless network, the wireless on the two identical (SSID, wireless security, password), don't forget to enable the SSID broadcast, leaving auto channel or use two channels at least 5 apart (e.g. 1 & 6). Customers thus wireless should be able to walk almost invisible between the two access points.

  • The full signal on WRT120N

    Hi all, I am new to this community, but I am using Cisco products for years.

    I have install my router by myself, I'm not a newbie, but tonight I did a restore to factory default on my router because I found a few problems of slowness on internet (very slow). Now it works well, BUT...

    I would like to know if it is possible to activate the power of the full signal on WRT120N as maximum as possible.

    -

    WRT120N [Wireless-N Home router]

    Firmware version: v1.0.05

    -

    Current settings:

    Mode: joint

    The network name (SSID): D

    Channel width: 20 MHz only

    Channel of the scale: n/a

    Standard channel: 6

    Security: WPA2 Personal

    SSID Broadcast: enabled

         
       

    Try to change the standard channel on the router and see if it makes a difference in the power of the wireless signal.

  • Diagnose/improve the wireless Airport network

    I'm no expert on wifi networks, but try to improve ours.

    I have an Airport Extreme, connected to a modem of the Charter down.

    Upstairs, in my office, that I have an Airport Express with a printer connected via USB.

    I think I Express correctly configured to expand or develop, or whether the network.

    My MB Air is sitting on a desk about 7 feet to Express in my office.

    If I connect to the Express via Ethernet to the MB Air USB connector, my download speed is about 65 MB/s, download about 4 MB/s and the Ping on 31ms.

    If I connect via wifi, download is about 20 Mb/s and the stay of the upload and the same ping.

    Make sense?

    Anything to improve the wifi?

    When websites take a long time to react and fill the page, what is the download or ping, or both?

    Thanks in advance for all the education on wifi. Enjoy.

    Make sense?

    Makes perfect sense.  First, we assume that the Express extends the network by connecting using wireless back to AirPort Extreme, correct?

    When you "extend" with only a wireless connection and connect using wireless on your Mac, you will generally lose about half or more the speed on the network.

    Why? The wireless should make a "leap" in Airport Extreme for the AirPort Express. He must then make a second "hop" of the AirPort Express using Mac wireless. It will take a lot of overhead or bandwidth.

    When your Mac is connected directly to the AirPort Express Terminal, the wireless is only to make a "leap", so find you speed or bandwidth that is lost when the Mac connects to the Express on a second Wireless 'hop '.

    You want to improve your network?  Connect terminal AirPort Express to the AirPort Extreme, using a wired Ethernet cable connection.  There is no loss of speed of the signal through the cable... until approximately 325 feet or 100 meters... so the Express receives a signal of full speed... rather than a slower wireless signal... because the wireless signal slows the other he has to travel and also slows down if it encounters obstructions in the signal path... like a wall or a ceiling.

    When websites take a long time to react and fill the page, what is the download or ping, or both?

    Could be both, but is usually a DNS problem. Try to use the Open DNS servers or the servers of Google to see if things improve. In general, the DNS servers are better than those that use your Internet service provider.

  • Ink advantage 2545: changed the name of the wireless router and now ink advantage 2545 does not connect and I'm out of ideas

    I have a Toshiba laptop 64 bit running Windows 10 Home, 8 GB, 1 t hard drive.

    Router is a Samsung phone using Android because it was the only router that I could find which would take the wireless signal.

    I live very pastoral, no neighbours for miles, so I never saw the need for a password on my router.

    Now, some people are installs in less than 400 feet from me, and I think they're piggybacking on my Wifi because my access speed has slowed considerably since they moved in.

    So I decided to change the password of the router, unfortunately, I can not put in any password I want.  It gives me the opportunity to have a predefined password.  So I changed the name of the router I could do without problem.

    My computer very quickly without any problem, however, my printer which worked great for a year with the old router name does not connect on the new name of the router.

    Here is what I tried:

    I had hoped he would ask me for a new name / password, but it did not.

    Then I plugged a cable between the printer and the laptop in the hopes that it would produce a different kind of results.  It has not changed anything.  There is no screen menu on what that be like this on the printer.

    I pressed the wireless button that has the flashing blue light and nothing happened.

    I pressed the button, don't know what it is, but it has a white light, and nothing happened.

    I went on the HP site and followed the instructions but he just said do not connect the cable until told to do so.  So I disconnected everything, lights out and turned back on and still no connection and no invite to plug whatever it is.

    Y at - it everywhere where I have being a novice could get instructions on how to get this working?

    I appreciate any help you can give me.  Thank you.

    Hello

    Have you used the Atheros WLan or Intel WLan card?
    As far as I know if you unit has an Atheros WLan card you should always use the Atheros Client Utility to connect to some networks.
    In this case, the option use Windows to configure my wireless network must be disabled. If you the Intel card this option must be checked.

  • Satellite A100-785: router restarts automatically when the wireless network card is on

    Recently,.
    Once, I turn my adapter wireless for my laptop 'ON' and it starts to connect to my router 3com officeconnect wireless.
    I found that my router restarts automatically.
    This happens each and every time I turn on my laptop with the wireless adapter ON.

    I use the Satellite A100-785 PPPoE ISP with WPA/AES encryption enabled on the new MS Vista platform.
    All drivers updated to the latest versions, and the wireless signal is Excellent.

    Any suggestions that could be the reason or any recommendation to begin to investigate the matter?
    Everything will be highly appreciated. Thank you

    Once again; Your WLan router restarts (reboots) when you turn on the WLan on the A100 Satellite Map. Am I wrong?

    Well, it's strange, but to be honest I n t see a problem with the laptop but with the router. I would recommend controlled again the unique WLan router configuration.

  • Suddenly can't connect to the wireless network: limited connectivity or none, I tried to bugs, no help!

    I have a laptop with Windows Vista. Recently, I upgraded my home wireless internet connection, which meant the laptop could go online (previously I had just used online office). It worked very well without any problems, until I enabled him to download updates windows (don't know if it was a service pack or only some updated files). Now, I am no longer able to connect, I don't always get limited connectivity or none even if the wireless signal is "excellent". I tried 2 ' difficulty his "from microsoft, including TCP/IP, no effect. I tried to turn off my IPv6 setting, no effect.

    I am considering currently switch to XP Pro, even though I grew to like the 'look' of Vista, so it would be a shame. But I have to be able to get the laptop online!

  • Need help with the wireless internet Power Book G4

    Hi-I recently inherited a Power Book G4.  I have problems to connect to wireless internet.  According to the Profiler systems, it has an AirPort Extreme card, but there is no icon on the screen wireless.  Advice to connect would be appreciated!

    Thank you-

    Stephanie

    The icon in the menu bar can be hidden or displayed.  The setting is the system network preferences pane.  Where it says display, select AirPort.  There is a checkbox for the State of AirPort show the menu bar.  Since the AirPort icon in the menu bar, you can select the a local wireless network to join.

    This pane of system preferences, you can use the more specific configuration settings, although the default settings work often unless you use special parameters with your wireless router.

    AirPort Extreme Card maybe for 802.11b and gand not n.  If your wireless network is configured for 802.11n only, you will need to change this setting to allow to 802.11 g (on the wireless router).
