    Access Points -right ontop of each other-

    3x3 Omni Access point on wall. On the same wall, just 4 feet away, I need to install a - directional AP- pointing to a very specific spot. As long as one is on channel 6 and the other is on channel 11, will this be a issue of them causing backscatter, interference, etc

    How to look at WiFi SNR

    Wi-Fi Lite on my Dell XPS with Rivet Wireless - looking at Aruba AP's vs. MacBook Pro - WiFi Explorer Granted the app is just a -tool- to set a baseline, but the results seem to be about 14DB difference between the data I see on the Windows setup vs Mac Setup

    Is the Range of all Wireless the -same-

    Does Roaming Assistant Work

    Heading over to my sisters house. Plan to bring a stash of rtac66u . Does the Roaming Assistant within the Asus firmware work. Nothing crazy. Just plan to put a AP in the 1st floor and another one on the 2nd. If not, I have some aruba / ruckus on hand which I know will do handoff, etc. Just...

    RT-N66U - Funky Guest Wireless

    Just setup a N66U for my sister. Aside from the usual stuff, the guess wireless I tinkered with and removed it. It published the SSID just fine, but noticed it was not acquiring a DHCP address. Tinkered with it, and magically after around 2 minutes, it got a DHCP address. Went to the 2nd...

    What Benefits in Business Grade AP

    What benefits do you get when running business grade AP's. I'm talking a step below let's say a Aruba 105. Aside from features, POE AP's, seamless roaming, etc. If one was to use them just as AP's, nothing fancy on rulesets, authentication, etc - are business grade AP's just more...

    New to Powerline - Does it ever drop off

    Wireless does not drop for me...at least in the sense of using AP - if not AP's generally flashed with DDWRT and then using them as client bridges. The only time it will drop is if I get a power brownout, and it loses power momentarily....and then the AP's will need a unplug/plug to get them...

    Which Router to setup as a Bridge

    I have both tried a couple of 3700's setup in a WDS fashion. Using OEM firmware... The baked in WDS setup for the 3700 was terrible. The AP's would connect and then disconnect from the main AP. With that said, I may flash one of the 3700's with DDWRT as a client bridge. I do need to...
