Frequently Asked Questions

What can affect the Wireless Internet signal?

FAQ
Our signal will penetrate the walls of most buildings. It will not pass through live trees, but is unaffected by plastic trees. The general rule of thumb is that the radio signal will pass through anything that doesn't contain water or metal.

Can weather affect the Wireless Internet signal?

FAQ
Short answer, No. However, your speed may decrease by up to 50% during torrential downpours of 6" per hour or more. Luckily, this type of rain is very rare in our coverage areas. Wireless links are not affected by fog, smog, snow or non-torrential rain.

What factors affect signal strength on a BlackBerry Wireless Handheld?

Information Technology @ Johns Hopkins-Email Frequently Aske...
The BlackBerry handheld communicates using radio frequency just like a cellular phone. Coverage is affected by anything that interferes with radio waves. For example, you might find that the radio signal is stronger outside a building compared to inside.

Are there any health or safety concerns with the wireless signal?

Phoenix Internet Wireless Faq's - Wireless FAQs
No. The technology used by Phoenix Internet operates at very low power levels, similar to a cell phone, and much less than the amount that is emitted by your microwave oven. Also, radio frequency power drops dramatically as you move away from the power source. Typically, our antennas would not be placed where any person would be able to stand right in front of it for any significant period of time.

Why does the wireless signal keep disconnecting?

PROLiNK - FAQ (H9000G)
a) Performance of any wireless device can be affected by interference from other devices like cordless phones, microwave oven, and neighbouring networks. Please change your wireless channel to 1~13 (except 1, 6 and 11) to see if the signal improves.

How can I increase signal on my wireless connection?

Freedom Wireless: The Wireless Network Experts: FAQ
You may want to consider changing your router to channel 1, 6, 11. Channel 6 is the most commonly used channel for 2.4 Ghz devices (including cordless phones, wireless keyboards and mice). In most cases you will get the maximum range on channel 1. Make sure that the router in question is positioned in the highest point available. For example, if the building is two stories high, you need to place the router on the second floor - not the first floor.

What will be the coverage of the wireless signal within the hotspot?

NETVIGATOR Wireless Broadband
The wireless signal of the Access Point usually can cover a radius coverage of 50m in the closed environment. (i.e. the space is separated by floor-to-ceiling brick walls) Wireless signal is good within 25m. Beyond 25m, wireless signal strength will become weaker and data rate will drop. Actual performance may be varied depending on the radio conditions at the locations where the Access Points are installed.

What factors will affect the signal strength?

NETVIGATOR Wireless Broadband
Signal strength will be affected if the wireless LAN card or Access Point is placed near metal surfaces and solid high-density materials. If there is obstacles in the radio signal path between the Access Point and wireless LAN card, radio signal may either be absorbed or reflected. The coverage will hence be decreased. In addition, other products that operate in the 2.4GHz radio spectrum, including microwave ovens and some cordless phones, may cause interference.

Are there any health concerns with the Reynwood wireless signal?

Internet Services - Wireless FAQs - Reynwood Communications
No. The technology used by Reynwood operates at very low power levels, similar to a cell phone, and much less than the amount that is emitted by your microwave oven. Also, radio frequency power drops dramatically as you move away from the power source (Access Point- not the subscriber unit).

Why is the radio signal quality black (zero) in my wireless client ?

www.draytek.com.au -
The ESSID of all wireless devices are the same one, but the lower case/upper case of all domain name are not the same completely. For example, one domain name is set to be 'Default', but another is set to be 'default'. That is not correct. The distance between two wireless stations (Ad Hoc mode) or between the wireless station and the WAP (Infrastructure mode) is too far. Make sure there is not any wireless interference (from other 2.

Gilpin Gold—Wireless Internet access for God's Country...
with any other form of communication, occasional acts of God tend to hamper our efforts, so we can't guarantee 100% up-time. However, whereas extreme weather patterns will impede satellite services, our wireless internet has no clouds to get in the way or cables for trees to knock down.

My Wireless network manager automatically associates with another WiFi signal – why?

Toronto Hydro Telecom - One Zone High Speed Internet

To select One Zone as your preferred network select “change order of preferred networks”. If you require further technical assistance please call 416.

Do trees and buildings interfere with a wireless Internet signal?

Execulink Telecom - Support Centre - Internet FAQ's
Yes, both will diminish the signal. For that reason you will need a clear line-of-sight to one of our access points. Yes and no. Large amounts of rain or snow may diminish the signal, but wet weather also evens the air temperature. This reduces problems with interference issues such as fade drift, thereby increasing your speeds. At most you may see a 10% reduction in speed during a heavy rain or snow storm.
