I have a Wireless Router in a private Exhibition room and when I use inSSIDer scan there is like 25 other AP’s detectable (from exibition/other nearby rooms), most on channels 1,6 & 11 but other ones dotted around like 2,4,8,12,13 etc and some showing as two channels (like 3+8).
Our Wireless Linksys Router is exhibiting very poor performance like lagging and timing out browsing etc, very jumpy/jittery. When I ping our Wireless Router from a wireless laptop, the ping is up and down like crazy and sometimes doesn’t reply. (pings like from 60ms up to 2500ms!! strong signal though).
I have tried on all the channels and channel 3 seems best but the ping still fluctuates (about 50ms -> 650ms and still sometimes drops) and the connection is crap, especially when you use more than one Wireless laptop at the same time it’s virtually unusable/stops responding.
Does this sound like a Wireless Channel/Interference problem to you? Or maybe it could be the router is f*cked (it’s rented)?
Any advice/ways to get around this problem?
I read maybe ‘Set the RTS/CTS and Fragmentation values from default (big) to just 500 bytes’
Router is on G-only mode, all other settings default, no security at the moment, broadcast SSID on.
I’m gonna buy a new router on way to exhibition tomorrow morning but I wondered if the problem occurs on new one aswell, what can i do (we mainly have only G clients not N)? We really do need working wireless in there. THANKS!
PS. There must be a way as lots of ppl have AP’s there and they can’t all be having this bad connection, as I said it’s pretty much unusable on >1 client.
