I've been playing with this some more and I've managed to stabilise my Radios for a few hours at a time now. Both of them were on the same channel, because they were connected to the same WiFi SSID which was using a fixed channel. I hadn't tried *every* channel previously, which was a mistake that I've rectified now. First, I wanted to make sure *my* WiFi network and Radio connection was stable when no interference was present, which I confirmed. No matter which channel I chose, the Radio would only stay connected for a short period of time. Channels 1, 6, and 11 were almost impossible to maintain a connect for a few minutes. Other channels would last about 20 mins to an hour. In addition to disabling "auto channel" (which always uses Channel 6 on my AP) there's an additional setting: "Channel Bandwidth" that I'd ignored previously. My AP defaults to "Auto + Ch X", where X varies depending on which fixed channel id being used. If I change that setting to "20 MHz", the connection stabilises for long periods of time. I suspect the Auto + Ch X means that it isn't actually using a fixed channel after all. Either way, once the network goes down, the Radio must still be rebooted, or hacked via the serial port to reload the Atheros blob. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ omnium21's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70334 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97791 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
