<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello all, i was wondering if you all had noticed
some of the same things i have...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does it seem like some days signal is better than
others? For instance, this morning (USA, CDT, 7ish), my signal
was so weak that i couldnt get any webpages to come up at all ("Web site found,
waiting for reply..." but nothing would load), trillian seems to work
(I guess it doesnt need much bandwidth), but email definately
doesnt.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Granted, i have a long link (12ish miles), but it
usually works "better" in the morninig than later on in the day. I read
somewhere that sunlight has a tendency to reduce signal strength some, as well
as sunspots being a problem. I know that FM radio wouldnt necessarily be
affected by the same things as 2.4Ghz, but the radio station i normally listen
to wouldnt come in much either this morning, this being opposite to what i had
observed prior (poor FM recption, better 2.4, and
vice-versa).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sometimes at night my signal is as much as twice
the strength of the daytime signal (which means at night my bandwidth has a
tendency to increase, even though it may be peak inet usage in my
area...southeast Kansas USA). Are these observations roughly the same as
you all find in the wild? or am i just crazy (matter of opinion
;).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>one last question... Is the info returned by
wifimon accurate? as it said i had plenty (average) signal this morning, but it
dint want to go anywhere... Sorry if this is off topic, but i will appreciate
everyones input on this, and i think everyone can get some use from the
discussion, as its the basis of all hostap does.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for all input...</FONT></DIV>
