2011-09-21 Thread Mark Phillips
I setup a new Roku box with an older DL-524 WiFi access point (channel 3 with security running). I noticed that fairly often the Roku looses the signal from the DL-524 and the show I am watching stops. I used a WiFi analyzer on my Android phone and noticed that the signal strength from the DL-524

Check the Channels you are running on. If you are using a channel that has allot of surrounding traffic that would explain why as they try to shout and be heard over each-other. If you cna find some unused channels or at least lightly populated you should get better results. On Wed, Sep 21, 2011

I used to have those kinds of issues until I switched to wireless N... I will NEVER go back! I had occasional interference from our 2.4Ghz digital spread specrum cordless phone with 802.11g but have no issues with signal strength with wireless N at all. It's so much faster than I decided not to

good point -xxDbm is lower is better it is essentially a representation of signal loss. and for the channel, the idea situation is to find a chennle that has nothing on it or its direct neighbor, so if you have traffic on 1, 3, 8, and 10, 5 is good because it and 6/4 are empty and have no
