<0> [\snowe\] oh hells bells
<1> Anyone have suggestions on a good setup (on the cheap) for gigabit throughout the home like what are some good NIC's and switches (router doesn't really matter)
<2> anyone care to recommend a good WAP?
<2> I'm getting tired of these linksys waps dropping connections
<2> I have a WRT54G (V3 iirc) and a WAP54G, both drop connections, I have a WRT54G installed elsewhere and it drops connections to other notebooks, I have a linksys wrt with srx400 and it drops connections
<2> all different notebooks and minipci adapters
<2> the common thread is linksys :(
<2> I've tried a billion different firmwares as well
<3> Have you tried a million different antennas?
<2> yes,
<2> well only one other antenna, but with no availa
<3> Because it looks like either you've got interference, or just low signal due to distance/walls/etc.
<2> I trit happens in close proximity to he waps
<2> grrrr, it's doing it again, I'm 15 feet away
<2> I'm rdp'd into my machine downstairs and it's jsut unbearable tonight
<3> What channel are you using?
<3> Have you ever tried changing it?
<2> I just changed it again
<2> I was using 4 iirc, then I switched to 9, now I just changed it to 1
<2> I'm looking at all the other waps in the area trying to stay away from them
<3> Your problem might lie elsewhere.
<3> Say, cordless phones?
<2> I don't even have a cordless anymore
<3> Does your neighbor?
<2> nobody is using the microwaves
<2> the closer neighbor is't even home, but he could have it off th ehook and people are ringing etc
<2> but its not even like I'm dropping down and going back up in speed, now I'm losing connections
<2> ok, just changed the upstairs wap to channel 4 since I was getting better connectivity to the downstairs one (different SSIDs)
<2> brb
<3> Have them in non-overlapping channels.
<2> I had them on non-overlapping ones
<2> right now my primary connection is on channel 4, secondary ap is on channel 1 atm, I have neighbors on channel 6, 2, 9, 11, 3, and another on 6
<2> doens't help that I'm using a Intell 2200BG mini-pci adapter
<2> the intel drivers are complete crap
<2> had to give up on using a single SSID and letting the machine switch automatically
<3> I know ipw2200 ****s.
<2> forget seamless transition, it wouldn't switch AP's even if I was at 1mbps with a real crappy singal and sitting on top of the other ap
<2> the only reason I'm blaming the linksys' is because I've installed them for other people and they have problems too,
<3> Well, I am a happy owner of several Linksys WRTs
<3> .
<3> I like them, in fact I recommend them.
<2> oh and the 2200 can't saturate the link, I run netcps and I bounce all over the place and just about average 1100 KB/sec, with a thinkpad and I think an atheros I get a solid 2.5MBps throughput
<2> I've always recommended them too
<2> but its like lately they're nothing but trouble to me :(
<2> I think I have another WRT54G in the basement somewhere, maybe I'll swap out this wap54g
<2> what firmware do you run on your wrt?
<3> Openwrt
<2> why instead of dd-wrt?
<3> Because it gives more power to my fingers. ;)
<2> I only went to dd-wrt for the static dhcp, that was the big thing I needed
<2> recommend a mini-pci wifi card?
<3> I like DD-WRT. That's what I recommend after the Linksys WRTs, because Openwrt is not what most people need.
<3> I'm not sure man. Anything Atheros is good.
<3> I wouldn't get anything non-atheros, actually.
<2> I have a atheros 5100x in the basement
<3> >30mW preferrably
<2> I didn't realize it didn't support WPA2 though
<3> What?
<3> That's the drivers you're using that don't support WPA2.
<2> no the chipset itself doesn't
<2> I looked it up
<2> I googled the **** out of it, went to the atheros website and they show it doens't support it
<2> I got it off ebay, like $30 with s&H
<2> so it's not a big loss
<3> Do you remember your hardware version?
<2> I installed a linksys SRX400 for someone, the multiple radios actually made a big difference in range
<2> gimme one second
<2> I'll go grab the card
<2> bn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngrat
<3> Well, on unix the madwifi driver supports wpa2, apparently for all atheros-based cards.
<2> can't find it
<2> whoa wtf was that
<3> heh
<3> That was your cat tapdancing on the keyboard.
<2> gah
<2> no cats
<2> hate cats
<2> they make me look like Ihave down syndrom
<3> Heh
<2> had a cat for 4 years, woke up one day highly allergic to it
<3> He was offended and left the channel.
<2> heh
<2> found the card
<2> it was in my to be ebayed box
<2> now I can't find my loupe
<3> What time does the superbowl start?
<2> and the letters are too small and lacking contrast to ****ing read
<2> grrrrrr
<3> I really wonder, so I can write it down.
<2> it starts at 6
<2> but I'm not sure if thats kickoff or pre-game
<3> 6 EST?
<2> ahhh ha
<3> ty
<2> yeah 6pm est
<2> making me think I'm nuts http://www.superbowl.com/features/general_info
<2> ok it's an atheros AR5212A
<2> tha'ts the chipset
<3> That's crazy, selling tickets 8 months before.
<2> hrmmm
<2> so I wonder if this thing supports WPA
<2> I'm not even using WPA2
<3> (under linux) Atheros 5212 (802.11a/b/g). Works well with WPA2 (wpa_supplicant).
<3> So I ***ume it's not the hardware that might be limiting you.
<3> It could be the drivers.
<2> I think I may have been looking up the wrong chipset
<3> heh
<2> quesiton is where to get windows drivers for it
<2> actually looks like this chipset supports super G
<3> What brand is it?
<3> (who ***embled the card)
<3> See this guy configuring a gigabyte card using your same chipset under Windows XP. It looks like he seems convinced WPA and WPA2 are supported: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/index.cfm?a=wiki&tag=ar5212
<2> NFI
<2> NFI as in - No Farking Idea who ***embeled the card
<2> hold on, I'll pull the sheild off the radio to see if there is a manufacturer
<2> =P
<3> heh
<2> screw it
<2> http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=602974
<2> looks as good as any =[
<3> Yeah, nothing particularly interesting there.
<2> this card looks hokey though
<2> just noticed there is no fcc sticker on it
<2> =]
<2> here's hoping the intel drivers uninstall clean
<2> :(
<2> I'm not doing well on finding **** tongiht
<2> can't find my damn screwdriver now
<2> should have done this wehn I clean isntalled this computer a month ago :(
<2> but I figured latest intel drivers on a clean install might work
<2> HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
<2> the card doesn't fit in the case
<4> hi all :)
<4> black ice or kerio winroute?
<2> hrmmmmmmmmmm
<2> just noticed that the wap upstairs was using WPA2, and the one downstairs WPA

<7> iif I have two routers connected to a hub, and I'm connected to router A (192.168.0.1) can I connect to router B (192.168.1.1) ? or do they both have to be 192.168.0.* ?
<8> If your netmask is /24, you'll need to change B to 192.168.0 or add another IP to your system within 192.168.1.
<4> hi all

<4> please read
<7> DrNight: how do I know if my netmask is /24 ?
<8> Is it 255.255.255.0?
<7> yes
<8> It is.
<7> So should I change router b to 192.168.0.2 ?
<8> If you want.
<4> did anyone read my thread?
