[geeks] Wireless Problems Redux

Wed Jul 28 18:16:15 CDT 2004

Just wanted to thank Nadine publicly.
Some of you may recall my complaints about wireless range on the Geeks 
list a few weeks ago. Well, I got antennae then, after Nadine suggested 
it, things were somewhat better, and I was happy.
Yesterday I installed the sveasoft firmware onto my WRT54G for other 
reasons, and lo and behold once I was inside playing around, I set one 
antenna to TX and the other to RX, boosted xmit power just a bit (still 
within legal limits), and *BAM*, _TWICE_ the signal strength I had 
before.
Nadine had also suggested the firmware. Therefore, she gets credit for 
this in my book.
Thanks Nadine.
