[SOFT] Resolution to WiFi issues

rsarno

Thank Me, Im Irish!
I say Soft Resolution because this is not an absolute fix, or guaranteed fix, but a lot of users have said it helped who were able to make the change.

It is being said/tested that the WiFi issue is related to Wireless N signal.

Some people, including myself, have switched their routers to only broadcast Wireless G ... it has severely increased the speeds on the Prime at >20 feet away.

In addition, some people are tinkering with the Channel, testing the theory that a lower channel is being used more efficiently than higher channels.

Do with that info what you will, I am pretty pissed off that i have to go Wireless G, but if it helps without me noticing much difference elsewhere in my network, im fine with it.
 
When I did wifi analysis, the lower channels did have more "stars" then the ch.11 that I am using. I switched to that channel because my blu ray player liked it better. But I am about to go hardwire to a Boxeebox so I don't have to worry about that.
 
will test this tonight and see what it does. I get awful wifi signel in my room anyway so im not sure how much this will help me personally but its worth a go.
 
That hardwire Ethernet I was talking about.... I stuck a router/repeater on the end of that and no more wifi issues with anything in my house.
