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.

There are known issues with interference, including (but not limited to) amateur radios, existing microwave towers or antennas, and other 2.4 or 5.8 Ghz wireless devices. If you have a 2.4 Ghz cordless phone, you will need to locate it at least 10 feet away from your computer, antenna cable, and/or antenna. See similar questions...

In most cases you will need a clear line of sight to the tower. Microwaves at frequencies of 2.4 and 5.8 GHz do not travel well through foliage and solid objects. We do have 900 MHz NLOS (non line of sight) equpment in selected areas with a lot of trees. See similar questions...

Anything in the path between you and the base station can block the signal. Especially trees and buildings. If you have a clear, optical, line of sight it will almost certainly work. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

Yes, the signal can pass through walls and buildings, depending on what the wall is made of or what is in the wall. Walls with sheet metal covering may reflect the signals, so the radio waves will not penetrate it. Also walls with lots of wiring and poor wiring insulation may cause interference and degradation of signal, and hence, poor performance. See similar questions...

The radio frequencies used by EPC and RFID are assigned by governments around the world to help ensure that no interference occurs. See similar questions...

Yes. Any device operating on a 2.4 GHz frequency can cause interference. Such devices include Bluetooth and some cordless telephones. Yes. Using the wireless network is one of the many things that will affect your battery's performance. Other factors include the age of the battery, type of battery or laptop, the applications running and the screen brightness. You should look at the power conservation options available on your laptop and plan your use accordingly. See similar questions...

There are a few computers in the recreation building with internet access which will be available for all the teens to use. The building also has a wireless network, however we strongly discourage teenagers from bringing laptops as they are an expensive technology and neither Samskrita-Bharati nor Arsha Vidya Gurukulam is reliable in the case that something happens to the laptops.

The First United Bank Center (FUBC), the Jack B. Kelley Student Center (JBK), the Hastings Electronic Learning Center (HELC), and the Cornette Library have access to the wireless network. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

How old is the TV? Older sets can experience tuner problems that can cause single channel problems. With new TVs, this is probably not the case. If you have a recent model set, you can rule out the TV.

Cellular/PCS wireless is also available from AT&T, Cingular, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon. Nextel has declined the opportunity to participate. Currently there are several kiosks which offer travelers internet connections, in addition to the standard dial service offered by the phone company via the RJ-11 jacks in the pay phones.
