Hello All, my Radio disconnects too easily even if the wi-fi access point is very close.
If I move it to the bathroom, which is only next door, it will loose connection. I tried to investigate, and compared my laptop iwconfig with the Radio: Radio eth1 AR6000 802.11g ESSID:"LaScala" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.432 GHz Access Point: C4:34:6B:1C:49:D0 Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Sensitivity=0/3 Retry:on Encryption key:off Link Quality:25/94 Signal level:-70 dBm Noise level:-96 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:28 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:1 Laptop wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"LaScala" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.432 GHz Access Point: C4:34:6B:1C:49:D0 Bit Rate=72.2 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality=68/70 Signal level=-42 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:1 Missed beacon:0 You can already see that the laptop performances better. I am in the same room, at 6 meters from the AP. Is this performance normal/acceptable? Could it have weakened in time? Should I try to replace the module?
