If not a blockage it may be a wireless phone or a neighbor may be transmitting on the same or close frequency. try moving your base station around and see how it affects your signal. Also try changing frequency to a different channel. I have had to use the European software on a router that had a conflict as they are allowed 14 channels to our 11(not FCC approved). Good luck
PS. 2.4ghz needs a hole larger than those in chicken wire fencing for a signal to get through and I have seen it used to reinforce Stucco houses in Florida.  |
Wow... thanks for that...........
I knew certain things interfere with the WiFi, but I didn't know all those common household appliances kill the signal that way. I figured it was just blue-tooth items such as my phone an/or ipod. I have my ps3 in the room about 25 ft away from the router, and in between it is The water Heater, a bathroom mirror, and my sisters digital photo frames.
and they wonder why the hell i lag on COD4.......Would opening ports help any at all ???????
