Loving the Lack of WiFi E-mail

Written by Ken Rutkowski, on 10-03-2008 00:29

On of the biggest issues with poor WiFi connection is conflicting WiFi channels. In Seoul, WiFi isn't as prevalent as it is in the State and that allows less conflict when it comes WiFi channels and signals.


Most routers default to channel 1, 6, or 11, but if your neighbors are all on channel 6, then you might be seeing slow speed and lower range due to interference. Try one of the other channels (start with 1, 6, and 11, but other channel numbers are worth a shot, too), to see if you get a better signal with them. Remember that your neighbors may also replace their equipment at some point, so if you see a sudden drop in range or speed, try a new channel.

Use 802.11a
Ken, your MacBook supports 802.11a - which operates in the 5 Ghz band, away from Bluetooth, Microwaves, DECT telephones etc. 
 
802.11a also has 19 non overlapping channels, at least in the ETSI (Europe) region, so channel congestion is more or less a non-problem. 
 
The Apple Airport Extreme WiFi Router supports 802.11a - and 802.11n for more speed - on the 5Ghz band, so that is a good choice if you are not too far away. 
 
For better range - and more bulk - look at a Cisco AP1242 with external, directional antennas 
Regards 
Michael
