My home router seemed to be exhibiting masive wireless receive errors (80+ MILLION in the last dew weeks). Last night around midnight I made a change to how each radio (2.4 and 5 GHz) are used and things seem MUCH better now. However, I am still getting too many errors and I do not know why.
Wireless Packet Info (this is the 2.4 GHz Radio) Received (RX) 0 OK, 3013 errors (I purposely had all wireless clients off so no actual RX/TX packets) Transmitted (TX) 0 OK, 3 errors I checked last night and there 3 errors after 5 minutes and were no other detectable wireless APs. My router was using channel 6. Today there is a very weak signal on channel 6 from a neighbor across the street and about 3 houses down and my router has switched to channel 11. I do not have a wireless house phone. My microwave has not been used. I do have a CFL bulb in a lamp 5-7 feet from the router but can discern no error rate difference if it is on or off. I also have a florescent kitchen light 20 feet away and again can discern no impact. 1) Do 3000 errors in 16 hours without actually using a wireless client seem reasonable? 2) Any thoughts on what might be causing them? BTW, I turned on my Android Wi-Fi to check for APs in the area and now Wireless Packet Info Received (RX) 560 OK, 3506 errors Transmitted (TX) 893 OK, 3 errors -- Dazed_75 a.k.a.
