  • SNBForums Code of Conduct

    SNBForums is a community for everyone, no matter what their level of experience.

    Please be tolerant and patient of others, especially newcomers. We are all here to share and learn!

    The rules are simple: Be patient, be nice, be helpful or be gone!

    MIT Demonstrates Accurate Single AP Location Method

    Radar gives range, not location. Unless multiple receivers are used and are time-synch'd to a few nSec.

    20/40 MHz coexistence

    Agree.. but the WiFi Alliance seemingly pushed for 40MHz mode, which leads to a 6dB disadvantage over 20MHz mode due to the noise*bandwidth product (laws of physics). But worse, the wider banwidth on the receiver side invites far more interference from other 20MHz systems. I thought that...

    Accessing WAN IP from within WIFI is not possible?

    Older routers I've owned didn't implement what I call the "trombone" addressing, where you use the symbolic WAN address from a client on your LAN. Last two routers I've owned do trombone. Not immediately obvious to me why this would be considered a security risk. Without the trombone, the client...

    Revolv shut down - told you so

    Of Cloud computing (& storage). Harken me to the 1980's and IBM mainframes and the mainframe staff's attitude about users: Let them eat cake.

    NAS advice

    No doubt, you've Synology and QNAP's on line demos. Synology's new software DSM 6.0 is on now.

    If you don't have speeds in access of 150Mbps whats the point of a AC router ?

    With DOCSIS 3 cable modems, many of us have 100/10 net yield (per speedtest.net). And for the financially secure, 200 and 300Mbps net yield too.

    20/40 MHz coexistence

    As you may know, 40MHz mode in 2.4GHz is recommended by many people only for those who live in a rural setting. The 40MHz mode means your WiFi is using 2/3 of the entire 2.4GHz band, and you compete with neighbors' WiFi for air time.

    [Project] build a wireless link for a camera-car

    search youtube, see videos of how quadcopter guys downlink live video (analog) to use in displays and video goggles.

    Revolv shut down - told you so

    What would motivate a bankrupt company closing its doors, likely with employees that got stiffed on paychecks... to work to release their intellectual property that others didn't want to buy? They're all looking for new jobs!

    Wireless performance degradation when using same U.FL connector for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz antennas

    spending bux on costly WiFi router won't fix poor coverage.

    Slow download upload fine on wifi (peak hour)

    "Mb" in your message is what? Speed of tests with Speedtest.net (That's Megabytes/sec (MBps)? Indicated connection speed of WiFi device? That's raw WiFi bit rate on the air; net yield is typ. 60%. My ISP's speed given me ($$$) is 100/10 Mbps (bits/sec). My Galaxy S6 gets that speed one room...

    New AC Router - Which will be supported longest?

    Don't overspend on WiFi. Be a value oriented buyer.

    2 routers or 1 plus access point for move to AC?

    ASUS. Netgear-not. Even an ASUS NT56 will give good performance; mine supports the ISP's 100/10 service, even to my Samsung phone in another room. Advice: don't overspend. Plaster walls may lead you to need wired connection, or less desirable, adding an access point (the ASUS has an access...

    Need Increased Range for Wifi

    Range w/speed is often limited by the client devices, not the router.

    Wireless Range - Thread repost

    Tilting helps in a two story house if the upstairs location directly above the router's antenna has a too weak signal. But tilting the antenna is very marginally useful in general. Too few dB difference.

    Wireless performance degradation when using same U.FL connector for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz antennas

    Connector per band lets you use band-specific antennas and that can get you a few dB over a dual-band antenna. But small benefit compared to path loss in typical WiFi use. need 10's of dB to make a real difference.

    NAS advice

    My DS212 Synology isn't Atom, isn't a real fast CPU. But I use it as a NAS, not an app server. So speed is usually constrained by PC file system overhead and the LAN speed. It has been problem free since 2012, and it runs the latest DSM OS upgrades minus 1 (!). When I buy a new one, it'll...
