Multipath WLAN problem?

It'll freeze over in winter and boil in summer.

I've got CAT-5 and will lay some over there in addition. But not in winter. Plus you never know who else is down there ;-)

That you're always wrong? Yes. That it's multi-path? Yes.

Some big words there, AlwaysWrong.

Ours didn't work with the antenna in the roof of the Super Dome shooting down at the field, either. It's a real mess.

Gotta be better than the attic.

DimBulb?

Yeah, and then some day the cable is chewed off ;-)

No, but we do have rattle snakes out here. The worst case is when you've crawled 30ft or so, it's all dark, and something hisses behind you.

If you get the "right" distances multipath can really wreck a data link. The insulation here in the walls is nice, muffles sound quite well. But I wish they had used the mats without the aluminum backing. If I could legally use a MHz chunks off of the shortwave band or at least VHF that would be cool.

And you find yourself without a pit to hiss in?

Put another wireless AP on the other end on a different channel, to give you a choice as yo move around the house.

His dogs will chase it away. ;-)

You're AlwaysWrong, DimBulb.

Sounds like that problem should be addressed first. Critters don't pay rent, they go.

True, Dimbulb is toothless. Yeah, I don't like snakes either. In particular ones that make noise, though I suppose that is an advantage. Perhaps a pet Mongoose?

summer.

Hiss isn't the problem, at that point.

You 'hain't lived until you been nailed by a scorpion ;-)

Happened to me several years ago. Home alone. Creepy feeling in pants leg. Figuring a spider, I whacked it... sting, then out falls scorpion :-(

Called poison control and they told me what symptoms to worry about, then they called every hour for about six hours to check on me... which I thought was rather neat.

Ouch! We've got them scorpions out here as well but not a lot.

Amazing that they didn't make you come in especially with a cardiac history. AFAIK, once symptoms set in there ain't much time.

That's why I keep them away from the two spools when I do cable runs :-)

Joerg,

I seem to have missed most of the previous discussion, so please feel free to skip forward if I'm duplicating earlier suggestions.

My younger brother owns a house south of Albany that started out as a deep, narrow farmhouse. They extended it still deeper by adding a long hall-with-rooms, rotating and joining on an existing barn, and then tacking a garage/office on the end. It's roughly

Bruce was running into wireless routing problems trying to get from one end of the house to the other. As I recall, things would work some times but not others, and playing with the antennae and remounting the routers didn't seem to make much of a difference, but he was still "working on the problem" when his oldest daughter stepped in and gave her parents a pair of Ethernet-over-house-wiring boxes that solved the problem.

I don't know if these would be appropriate for your problem, but if you haven't already rejected the concept you might try out something along these lines.

Naaah! There are very specific symptoms that indicate _allergy_, that need treatment, otherwise it's pretty much like a bee sting... unless you're an infant. Children they want to see in ER ASAP.
