[WISPA] Very Random 5GHz Noise Problem

2011-02-06 Thread Bret Clark
I saw someone mention a problem in the 900MHz yesterday, but would anyone have any ideas as too what could be causing a problem in the 5GHz range? And I'm talking the entire 5GHz range (5-6GHz). At random times throughout the day our 5GHz customer get knocked off by what looks like a frequency

5ghz cordless phone system and just the right magic path. In one case it was only a issue when one of the cars were home, but not when the 2nd was also there (car vs jacked up truck). On Sun, Feb 6, 2011 at 6:31 AM, Bret Clark wrote: > I saw someone mention a problem in the 900MHz yesterday, but

There are plenty of 5GHz home routers as well ;( On Mon, Feb 7, 2011 at 3:06 AM, Jeromie Reeves wrote: > 5ghz cordless phone system and just the right magic path. In one case > it was only a issue when one of the cars were home, but not when the > 2nd was also there (car vs jacked up truck). > >

It's not the clients having the problem so much as it's the base which is up on a mountain with the radio another 100 feet in the air. I don't think this is a consumer device causing the problem. On 02/07/2011 03:10 AM, RickG wrote: > There are plenty of 5GHz home routers as well ;( > > On Mon,

Bret, Sure sounds like radar to me. jack On 2/7/2011 5:18 AM, Bret Clark wrote: > It's not the clients having the problem so much as it's the base which > is up on a mountain with the radio another 100 feet in the air. I don't > think this is a consumer device causing the problem. > > On 02/07

That's what I'm thinking but you'd think it would be happening continuously. Yet we'll go several months without so much as a peep and then boom...we are in interference hell. Had the problem again this weekend, started Friday night, on and off all weekend, then Sunday night everything is find

It could be mobile military radars or during National Guard exercises, etc. What freqs are you using in the band? Does your mountain installation overlook any military training areas? On 2/7/2011 9:11 AM, Bret Clark wrote: > That's what I'm thinking but you'd think it would be happening > conti

Hh...that just set off a light bulb...none in the immediate area, but I'm sure their stuff would be high powered enough to reach some distance. Something we are going to look into further. On 02/07/2011 02:04 PM, Jack Unger wrote: > It could be mobile military radars or during National

Yes; their radars would be high-powered (perhaps megawatts). From your mountaintop location, you could have line-of-sight for 100 miles or more. If their radar was airborne, you could have LOS for 200 miles. Please keep us posted on what you turn up. jack (Chair - WISPA FCC Committee) 818-227-4

This is happening in the entire 5GHz, we did have a spectrum analyzer up and we were able to catch the problem briefly. It looked like a high powered frequency hopper but we were unable to home in on it. The National Guard theory is sounding pretty good right now just because we'll go for so lo
