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.

There is no charge to connect to the wireless network, but you do need to purchase a wireless Ethernet card that complies with the WiFi 802.11b/g standard. See similar questions...

Wireless access points operate within the 2.4GHz frequency range and are prone to interference from microwave ovens, other unknown access points in the area, some cordless phones and many other environmental factors that may be passing between you and the access point at any given time. Though the wireless protocol was designed to be robust, it is still radio frequency, and it can be interrupted by various pieces of equipment and/or structures. 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...

Check your surroundings for anything that might impede your signal. Some things you may find that can interfere with wireless signals are pillars or stanchions and potted plants. Also, several wireless cards on the market are built to boost your signal. If your signal is not strong enough for your liking with your current card, you might consider looking for an adapter with a greater signal gain as an alternative. See similar questions...

Antennas work in both directions, transmit (TX) and receive (RX). When a signal is pushed into the base of the antenna from the transmitting unit, the signal is converted into radio waves or (RF). An antenna in its simplest form can be as simple as a straight length of bare metal in which case the RF signal leaving it would be uncontrolled and unfocused. 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...

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...

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...

Wireless has been installed in every campus building except the Market Caf?, Event Center, the parking garages and Campus Village. You can also connect to the network in the outdoor areas around the Student Union, Business Tower, University House, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. library, and along El Paseo De Cesar E. Chavez.

The WestConn wireless network is part of a DMZ network. Wireless users will only be able to access items on the University network similar to when they connect to the internet from home. Some services that are known to have security issues have been blocked. Please note that wireless service is not intended to replace the University wired network. See similar questions...

Mbs. Actual throughput will only be about half of this, at best. This is the 802.11b standard. We do not yet support the "g" standard. See similar questions...

Yes. Wireless transmissions between your wireless modem and our base station are encrypted and therefore secure. See similar questions...

Yes. 10 POP mail accounts, 1 Domain Name (not including Network Solutions registration fee), 8 IP addresses (5 usable) or NAT, access to 30,000+ fast, stable newsgroups, priority tech support, guaranteed bandwidth and uptime. See similar questions...

First, unlike analog telephone transmissions, digital transmissions of Internet traffic are much more difficult to intercept because of the complex cryptology associated with the technology. Second, our system provides over-the-air encryption, which cryptographically scrambles the data bits, preventing anyone "listening" to the airwaves from deciphering any messages. In fact, the our system's over-the-air link may be the most secure leg of the typical user's Internet connection. No. See similar questions...

The wireless network has a nominal speed of 11 megabits per second. Depending on signal quality and how many other people are using the wireless Ethernet through a particular access point, usable speed could be much less. See similar questions...
