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.
