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 interfer

I love OpenShot. Oh, and much more than PiTiVi although I have only tried it once and maybe a year ago. On Tue, Sep 20, 2011 at 9:41 PM, Sir Light wrote: > Mike, > > Here is one... http://openshot.org/ > > Jon > > > mike enriquez wrote: > > Does anyone on the list know of a good video edi

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 run

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, 2
