Subject: [gentoo-user] Wireless: Limit rate to strengthen connection?
Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2008 13:53:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49bf44f10803261353l2b3b6607j48e127322ec8dd95@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I'm trying to strengthen a wireless connection that spans about 150
feet and has to go through about 5 walls.  I bought two of these:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833164110

for either end of the connection, but I'm having trouble making it
work well.  I've noticed the connection will be perfect for a short
time, but then disappear.  When watching iwconfig during this process,
it looks like the connection is good when on a low rate, but when it
goes to 54 Mbps it falls apart.

Should limiting the rate solve this problem?  If so, how can I do
that?  I'm using hostapd on the AP and wpa_supplicant on the client.
