Re: [slim] Squeezebox fades

2007-07-07 Thread CatBus

Install NetStumbler to see what channels your neighbors are using. 
Usually 1 or 11 is safe.  Sometimes 6 is safe.  Sometimes they're all
taken, and then you'll have to go with the weakest interfering signal,
antenna modifications, asking your neighbors to change their settings,
etc.  But until you know what's out there, you'll never have any idea.

Also watch out for cordless phones that use the 2.4GHz frequency (new
ones are 5.8GHz, really old ones are 900MHz).  Experiment with
different placements for your wireless router (higher is usually
better--on top of a bookshelf perhaps).  What sort of router is it? (B
or G?) How many other wireless devices do you have in your house?  Etc,
etc.  All of these factors can lead to bad connections.

That sounds like marginal reception to me as well.

Try changing the channel on the router: most routers come defaulted to
channel 6, which means yours is going to get interference from your
neighbors if everyone left theirs at 6.  Try channel 1 or 11, which
share no frequency space with 6.

(This is a setting on your router, and changing the router should not
require clients being told: they will sniff out the new channel all by
themselves.)

Does the display fade or the sound?

Re: [slim] Squeezebox fades

You have a marginal wireless network?  Perhaps there is some
interference which is greater where the TP is, or maybe the different
aerials in the TP are proving that bit more effective for you?

First step is to try some different wireless channels - 1 or 11/13
(depending on where you are).
