My neighbor and I both have WRT54g access points. He's on channel 6 and
I'm on 11. This works great most of the time.
Eventually this setup breaks for me. I'm happily working along with a
75% signal strength (reported by my desktop applet) and it all of a
sudden stops. I still show a strong signal but no data is going out.
If I do an iwlist scan I find that my access point isn't showing up once
this happens. If I walk closer to my access point it'll eventually
reconnect, but will fail as soon as I move away again. By very rough
practical experience it seems to happen about as the signal quality on
my neighbors access point gets to be greater than mine, but I could be
wrong there.
A windows box in the house never has this problem. It works even when my
access point is no longer showing up in the iwlist scan. Also rebooting
the access point solves the problem, the laptop start working in the
original location.
Any ideas?
