I need help, and I can't find anyone smart enough to help me. I have
a 802.11b network where I live and I feel like I'm under attack. My
WiFi cards and my bridges see no other networks, my router reports no
attack or other anomalies. According to my Linksys WET11 bridge I
have a 65-78% signal strength (intermittent) with no Link Quality. My
instincts say it is some kind of interference, but I have no clue on
tracking/locating/identifying it.

Any ideas??? I'm desperate.

Thanks in advance,
Scott

dect phones are the normal culprits.
they have a somewhat greater range and higher power.
as do video senders.

however i think you may be just a little premature here.
try changing channel away from 6 or 11
there might be other networks that are not SSID'ing but i would not expect
every channel to have multiple signals.

what kind of range are we looking at here as to the failure you are getting.

Leaky microwave ovens will do that a LOT. Doesnt take much of a leak from a
700-1000 Watt cavity power osc to swap the router or bridge. They sit at
2.450Ghz...give or take 100MHZ! They move around with voltage and most of
all temperature variations...good luck in the hunt.

herze what you need ........

common problem ...... this fix has been around for some time ....

this stuff is also great for the scanner hobbyist ..... great for
finding nanny cams , room bugs and such ..... ( 2.4 gig , of course )
