To add a few cents .. in my experience collisions are usually attributable in decreasing order to: 1) Faulty ( Bent ) cable, 2) Dicky Transceiver (hit by static or lightning ) 3) Chipset (Thomas Conrad especially, but others are notorious for interframe spacing issues like older Intels ) 4) Swit

I'm sorry to keep bringing this up but maybe this will help someone out later. Again, the AP interface was originally bridged to the LAN interface. I did this because I wanted my server 2k3 box to be the only dhcp server on the network. But, for testing, I took down the bridge and let pfsense d

Assign it a static IP inside your LAN subnet as you probably need to configure it for wireless settings from time to time. Make sure this IP is not conflicting with the DHCP-Server-Range you have configured at the pfSense. Holger > -Original Message- > From: Steve Spiker [mailto:[EMAIL

Yeah I have tried once. Seems to conflict. DO I need to assign the router an IP? set to static or DHCP? Or just to obtain an IP AUTO...I'm trying to get the WIFI to a higher ground so that the WIFI has a larger range. Seems to work better that way. Also do you think that I should get a new modem? I

You can use a wireless router as switch/AP. Just make sure it has a non conflicting IP, DHCP is turned off and only connect stations to the LAN side. Leave the WAN unplugged (pfSense uplink goes into LAN of the wifirouter, not WAN). Holger > -Original Message- > From: Steve Spiker [ma

Depends on how much he's using the link :) If he's full throttle p2p on a decent bandwidth broadband connection a 10mbit half duplex interface will quickly build up a LOT of collisions. --Bill On 6/24/06, Holger Bauer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Actually that sounds too high for my taste ;-) >

Sounds like noise to me. Check out your neighbourhood for interfering channels (you can do so for example by scanning with http://netstumbler.com/ for other accesspoint). Also other devices can interfere with wireless that won't be listed with netstumbler (like for example wireless home video tr

Collisions are usually not a problem unless they start to freak out. As collisions are detected the package will be resent. As you have 10 mbit/s between your pfsense and the modem and might most likely have a less bandwidth from ysour modem to your ISP there is enough room to resend a broken pa

It autonegotiates the connection with the opposite end (your modem). Looks like your modem at WAN only can do 10baseT/UTP which is 10 mbit/s halfduplex. In that case you will see some collisions from time to time. In case it's a complete mismatch (one end runs other settings like the other) you

In case you have a hub somewhere or a link that is not full duplex collisions are likely. Switches shouldn't cause collisions, hubs can do and with rising traffic the collisions will rise too. The error you see is a broken trafficshaper configuration. Did you touch the config by hand? You shoul
