[Madlug] Recent degradation in wireless signal strength

[Farhan Ahmad]

That's the odd thing, we haven't added any new electronic devices recently
that would result in interference.  I did try moving the Actiontec router
from channel 9 to 11 last night but that didn't seem to make any difference.
I have recently read that sometimes 802.11 utilizes the 4 adjacent channels
to the primary one, so I will try a channel that is farther apart (i.e. in
the lower ones).


Thanks,

Farhan

Perhaps something else is now competing for the 2.4Ghz band?  Cordless
phone, video sender, etc?

You might try moving the AP to a different channel.
