Hi, I'm setting up a WAP at home and I'm learning about signal strength. At present, the WAP is in the basement, near the ceiling. Using wicontrol -L, I've been looking at the line titled "Coms quality/signal/noise". As base measurement, directly under the WAP, I get "49 103 54". The various locations in the house have values like this: 30 84 10 A 21 75 54 B - next door to WAP 33 87 54 C - one flight up (directly above WAP) 27 81 54 D - one flight up (directly above WAP) 16 70 54 E - one flight up (at opposite end of house) 6 60 54 F - one flight up (at opposite end of house) 20 74 54 G - two flights up (directly above WAP) Are these expected values? Ping times remain about 4.75ms for all locations. Comments please. -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/ BSDCan - http://www.bsdcan.org/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
