    How We Test Wireless Products - Revison 7

    While I agree with bonsai in that we are getting off topic, I must say that it has been quite interesting! The RF stuff is "juicy goodness" to me so the discussion is fascinating from my point of view. However, having said that, back to the topic of how best to deal with the cross...

    How We Test Wireless Products - Revison 7

    Yep! I sit corrected! I did read that description some time ago and somehow that slipped my mind. Anyway, I need to study it more. So the only real test set issue for debate remains the free space coupling antenna (potential) cross polarization mismatch losses. The multipath emulator is...

    How We Test Wireless Products - Revison 7

    Good discussion! From my experience, we are attempting to deal with what we used to designate as two separate testing phases in a combined fashion. We (myself and those I used to work with "back in the day") used to test for path loss (RF attenuation) in a "perfect channel" with no...

    Linksys EA6300 Advanced Multimedia AC1200 SMART Wi-Fi Wireless Router Reviewed

    SFX, May be off topic but your posts were fascinating to me! I come from about the same era background-wise but from the TDMA side! Brought back a lot of memories! -Mike

    Best non-asus alternative to the RT-N66U?

    Just a note here concerning perceived "bias" in this site's reviews. Firstly, all human beings have opinions and personal experiences that color those opinions. Such can be hard to completely omit when writing extensively about many subjects including product reviews. That having been said, I...

    Looking for advice on wireless AP

    I might look at this Asus AP/Bridge reviewed here: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews/31834-asus-ea-n66-dual-band-wireless-n900-gigabit-ethernet-adapter-reviewed. -Mike

    Giving up on my losing battle with Asus... what now?

    You probably won't find too many small business class wired routers at most big box consumer department stores or more popular mass market electronic stores. Amazon or Newegg are what I usually use. Otherwise, if you must see the stuff in person then your best bet would probably be office supply...

    Giving up on my losing battle with Asus... what now?

    Well, wired routers are certainly NOT dinosaurs! At least in the enterprise and small business realm. I would say that it may be difficult to find consumer class wired routers now as the market is heavily biased towards the do-it-all feature rich wireless routers. But, again, getting a higher...

    Giving up on my losing battle with Asus... what now?

    No problem - sounds like it could be a good solution for you. Hope it works out! Let me know how it goes. BTW, there's a whole section on these forums devoted to wired-only routers and many reviews on this site so be sure and check those resources out when you're ready to buy a wired router. I...

    Giving up on my losing battle with Asus... what now?

    Not a specific model suggestion but a future setup suggestion you should consider: 1) Use a wired-only router and separate wireless access point (AP). 2) If possible use enterprise class equipment. Of the two, if pricing or other reasons (i.e. lack of features and difficulty in setup) prevent...

    Channels 1, 6 and 11

    Just to add to or clarify whats already been said - when an 802.11 device is confronted with co-channel users (other routers/devices on the same center channel as the one it is tuned to) within its reception range it will try to negotiate with those other "alien" devices for shared airtime...

    WIFI Stability

    Just some observations concerning your "external high gain antenna". Is this what you are talking about: http://www.ampedwireless.com/products/sb1000.html. If so, that is not just an antenna but also includes a transmit power amplifier (unsure if it also includes a receiver preamp). The whole...

    weird interference to wirless rounter

    Is the PC that you mentioned in your first post (the one that BSOD'ed whereupon the wireless connections to your other devices improved) using a wired or wireless LAN connection? I wasn't clear on that from reading your posts. If it is wired and not using wireless then does it have a built in...

    Home theatre - Wlan question

    Since you mentioned that you were interested in internet radio and the unit in question was an AVR I gather you are not looking for major video over the wireless connection you hope for, rather, you want a reliable connection primarily for internet radio and just general connectivity for the AVR...

    DHCP-NAT IP Dropout

    I have read through most of those posts and replies you linked to - whew! Personally, and don't take this the wrong way, I think you have focused too much effort on the wrong parts. In general, I agree with the idea of just giving up on using the DHCP function of the CVG824G and setting all...
